■£n) I SENIOR NUMBER H ' r MAy 1925 fiRIMSON Qoshen Righ School nidl 1925 Senior Issue 8 ? THE CRIMSON THE LAND OF MANANA ] HE above title has been given to Peru be- cause of the tendency there never to do to- M day what can be put off till tomorro- v. The term applies almost equally well however, to the Chilians, Bo ' ivians, and to most all of the South American repubJcs. The people of Argentine arc more up-and-coing, and are less mananaized hta nan} of the othei Latin Americans. They might with aar.ost equal propriety be termed, the lands of Ayer , or the lands of vester- day, because of their g orious history and the pat- riotic zeal with which their orators tell of the wonderful deeds of their heroes. And they have a right to be proud of their men of yesterday who fought, bled, and died, and gave them their liberty. Among the names of their great ones are, — Fran- cisco Miranda, Simon Bolivar, Jose San Martin, Antonio Jose de Sucie, and many others. But of all theje the names of Simon Bolivar and Jose San Martin, are mentioned more ofteij in their High School Commencement orations than any of the others. Simon Bolivar was the George Washington of the north half of South A.merica, and San Martin was the liberator of Aigentine, Chile, and Peru. In 1807 Bolivar visited the United States, and whi ' e at that time he v. ' ar only 2-! years of age, he was well known both in this country and in most a ' l the capito ' s of Europe. He was also greatly admired by WashmgLon. So much so that a few years after this, Washington sent a special emissary to Venezu- ela to greet Bolivar on his birthday, and to carry to him a gift fiom Washington himself. So the peop ' e of South America are proud of their heroes, and i-ince they have no outstanding men of international fr me of lecent years, they dwell much in their speeche:, and in their writings upon their men of esterday, and look to manana for other great her oes and statesmen. EconomicaTy the peoples of South America con- sider their countries the ands of tomorrow, because of their great natural resources. There is the native home of the potato, coffee, sugar cane, cotton, and rubber, also of quinine, M ' hich comes prom Peruvian bark, and of eucolyptis and camphor. Potatoes grow wild in the mountains of Peru, and like most other plants it does best under cultivation in its native habitat. They have very fine varieties of potatoes in Peru that can not be grown successfully in the United States, though the Department of Agri- culture in Washington has spent much time and money to transplant and cultivate them here, and always without success. On the other hand, strawberiies and grapes, al- falfa and maize, have been carried to South Am- erica from the United States and iJurope, and these have produced splendidly there. Strawberries of delicious flavor are sold in the markets of Lima six months of every year, namely from October till March. A bunch of grapes with five hundred lucious grapes in a sing ' e bunch is not uncommon, and they are of superior flavor and sweetness. So South America may yet be the land of manana economically. As the land of opportunity it may also be the land of tomorrow. Certain ' y in opportunity it is not the land of today. The lack of stability in the governments, inadequate t.ansportation, and the need of facilities for developing their own natural resources — these prevent opportunity from knock- ing even at the outer door in tkoe lands as yet. And to some who have studied conditions there, it seemis that the future developrrent of these countries for their own good, is in the hands of their native sons. As some of their best field crops can not be trans- ported to and raised successfully in other lands, it would seem that Mother Nature is again looking out for her children in saving for the sons of the lands of manana the days of opportunity in those same lands.

It is decreed that this organization must die today. Tomorrow the units of this association will be individuals even as ou, ladies and gentlemen, in this work-a-day world. But before our dissolution, it is our right to discourse upon our school, retell the past, philosophize upon the present, and proph- esy the future. Precedent has determined that v- ' e may will our assets and our liabilities, grumble about events and treatments, as well as advise our juniors of pitfalls and possibilities. This right has been passed down thru succeeding classes for many years, and it is v. ' ith a mixed feeling of pleasure and regret that we realize that it is now our wme to avail our- selves of its privileges. Ladies and gentlemen, I bid you welcome to our ceremonies. Leslie Divelev CLASS HISTORY CHARACTERS RALPH, A graduate of G. H. S.. of the Class of ' 25. BILL, DOROTHY ' , onetime members wlio .:uit school. JACK, Time: May 29, 1925, or the day after Ralph ' s graduation. Scene: The living room of Ralph ' s home. Ralph. Hello, Bill. How are you? Bill. I ' m feeling tine. Ralph. That ' s good. A long time has elapsed since I have seen you. What have you been driv- ing at for the last t o years? Bill. 1 have been working in a paint shop. Ralph. Well, well, so you consider working in a paint shop more important than going to high school ? Bill. (hesitating Well, 1 don ' t know as it is more important, but I never liked school, so after two weeks of high school work, I quit. Ralph. Didn ' t you like the students, teachers, or the work ? Bill. No. I didn ' t see anything that I liked. The freshman class did not accomplish a solitary thing the two weeks of my high school career. Ralph. We held our first meeting the third week of the term, or the week after you quit, and elected the following officers: president Harrison Berkey ; vice-president, Margaret Charnley ; sec- retary, Pauline Kunderd ; treasurer, Louise Hatch; yell leaders, Helyn Kindle and Sidney Plaut; and sergeants-at-arms, Catherine Vhite- head and Lawrence Puerner. lor faculty ad- visers we elected Miss Berlin and Mr. Snod- grass. These officers filled their positions ex- ceptionally well ; and we, as a senior class, are very proud of them. liill. 1 thought of participating in athletics, but gave that up too. Ralph. There )0u made a mistake. If ou had onK made an effort, you probably would have made the team. While freshmen, several boys participated in football, although none of them made G ' s. In basketball, we had an excellent team ; and two members, Dallas Whittle and Walter Hills were subs for the x.irsity. Bill. What else did you, as freshmen, accomplish? Ralph. A few things of minor importance. It was during the next three ears that we made a decided improvement. As sophomores we elected the following officers: president, Harrison Berkey; secretary, Pauline Kunderd ; treasurer, Kathryn Reichard ; ser- gcants-at-arms, Catherine Whitehead and Clark 11 THE CRIMSON Baxter. Tliev filled their positions exceptionally well. Bill. Who out of the sophomore class participated in athletics ? Ralph. Walter Hills, Russell Rathka, Roscoe Huff and Charles Egenrode won G ' s in football. In basketball, Walter Hills, Dallas Whittle and Clark Baxter played on the varsity, while Har- rison Berkey and Fred Blough werir subs. In baseball, those who won G ' s were ; Charles Egen- road, Fred Blough, and Clark Baxter. In track, Baxter, Hills, and Waltz received G ' s. Bill. Gee, a large number of sophomore boys participated in athletics. Do the ' ever have class games? Ralph. Oh, yes, you should have seen the thrilling game we played with the seniors. In spite of the experience of the upper-classmen, the sophs ob- tained a victory by a score of 9-13, and became class champions. We were also victorious in the interclass track meet. Bill. I really believe if I had continued goinc to school, and had participated in athletics 1 would have had the honor of receiving a G. Ralph. Probably so. There are many ways in which G ' s may be won. They are also given in debating. Pauline Kunderd, a member of the sophomore class, received a lettei for this activit ' . Bill. I really regret, Ralph, that I am not r radu- ating with the Class of ' 25. It is nea ' ly time for me to be at the factory. J must be going. Good-bye, Ralph. Ralph. Good-bye. (Exit Bill) It seems funny that people who have a perfectly Good chance to receive an education, refuse to finish the high school course. (Knock at the door) Ralph. Coming. Dorothy. Hello, Ralph. Ralph. Why, and if it isn ' t Dorothy. How are you ? Dorothy. Just fine. I recently- foimd out where you were residing so thought I would drop in to talk a few minutes. Ralph. ' es, I am very glad you did. And where have you been for the last two years i Dorothy. I have been keeping house for Mrs. Briggs. Ralph. Oh, I see. Dorothy. V ' ou kno - I (juit high school my sopho- more year, because I found a place to work. Since, I have been wondering what my class, the Class of ' 25, accomplished during the next two years. Ralph. The class succeeded wonderfully. Our officers were: president. Earl Waltz; vice-presi- dent, John McMahon ; secretary, Louise Hatch; treasurer, Kathryn Reichard. They filled their positions exceptionally well. Dorothy. Did the class work at any of the fool ' i i games ? Ralph. Oh, yes. The junior class had the con- cessions at the Laporte game. We sold hot dogs, cand ' and crackerjack. We had a wonderful time ; besides we aided the class by making a large sum of money. Dorothy. I always liked to sell at games. I wish I could have helped. And, oh, yes, did you have a good junior carnival? Ralph. A good junior carni al ! Why, we had an excellent carnival! It is said that our carnival was one of the best ever given in G. H. S. Dorothy. Oh, 1 wish I could have been in it too. What did you do? Ralph. I think nearly everyone remembers the ride on the famous Arizona Express and the Lovers ' Tub and the mystery chambers ■v -here they shook hands with the skeleton and received a Hour bath. We had wonderful acrobats, who performed dur- ing the whole evening. There were also many other booths which furnished mucri amusement. Dorothy. I ' ll bet. Were many theie? Ralph. Yes, the gym was crowded all evening. If anything ever was a success it -ivas the junior carnival. Dorothy. I heard that the class gave a performance or play before the assembly. What about it? Ralph. We played a mock football game between Elkhart and Goshen. Dorothy. Who won ? Ralph. Oh, Goshen, naturally. Dorothy. Well, did the class ever have any parties? Ralph. Oh, yes. We had a Hallowe ' en party, and it sure was a circus. We came masked, and ve had a time finding out who everyone was. We also had things to eat, and spent :. lot of our time in entertainment. Dorothy. I always liked entertainment but what I hated was the studying part. 1 was offered a good job so I quit. Ralph. Well, you made a mistake just as many 12 THE CRi: ISON others did. Although we are burdened with studies a great deal, the time is we i spent. There are many outside activities which ,ire of benefit to the students. Dorothy. Oh, yes, I know. Were there any juniors on the debating team? Ralph. Yes, Kenneth Zook. He also won honors in the county discussion league. Dorothy. Well, I must be going or 1 will get cm- ned, as the saying is. Ralph. Oh, already. I haven ' t told a thing of our senior year or anything about the junior athletics. Doiothy. Yes, that ' s right. Well, hurry and tell about the junior athletics, and I ' ll stop some other time and hear about the senior activities. Ralph. In athletics, Berkey, Rathka, Blough, Whittle, Egenroad, Waltz and Hess played an important part. All these famous players were members of the 1923 football team, which went through the entire season without being defeated. Dorothy. Gracious ! the team mu , t ha e consisted of some fine players. Ralph. It suie did. Two members, -Japtain-elect Berkey and Captain Rathka were chosen as guard and half-back on the jill-state eleven. Dorothy. My, but this is interesting. I wish I could stay and hear what the senior class accom- plished, but it is late, I must be gong. I ' ll stop in some other time. Ralph, bure, do stop. Dorothy. Good-bye. Ralph. Good-bye. There is another one that didn ' t realize what she was missing when she quit school. (Sits down and reads. Knock at door. Ralph ofjns it. ) Ralph. Well, and if it isn ' t Jack, another one of my old school mates. Jack. You bet. Ralph. You make the third one of my old, school friends that I ' ve seen this afternoon. What hap- pened anyway that you didn ' t come back and finish vour senior vear . ' Jack. Oh, I was working in a furniture factory all summer, and when it came time for school to start, the money looked too good for me, so I stayed and worked in the factory. Ralph. So you too think .c is not necessary to have a high school education. Jack. No, I do not. I see my mistake now, Ralph. I ' ve been wondering what the senior class did. I know about the first three years. I was verv much interested in all its activities, so thought I would stop and see what happened the last 3ear. Ralph. Oh, I see. Yes, I ' m very glad to tell you. The seni or class oiScers were: i resident, John Stoutenour ; vice-president, Jack Rathka ; secre- tary, Louise Hatch ; treasurer, Kathryn Reichard ; sergeants-at-arms, Sidney Plaut and Catherine Whitehead. One of the first questions the senior class had to decide was whether we wanted an annual or a magazine. Well, after a great deal of discus- sion, we voted for the magazine. Jack. ' Was it a success? Ralph. es, it succeeded very we ' .!. Jack. Did you have any entert.aiiment ? Ralph. es, we sure had an excellent Hal ' owe ' en party out at Kathryn Swartzbaugh ' s. Jack. I ' ll bet you had a fine t;,ne. Was there anything else that you did that was a lot of fun ? Ralph. es, we had a senior stand at the festival. Putting up the booth wasn ' t so much fun, but the selling was. We sold hamburgers, popcorn, pop, ice cream, and candy. Jack. My, this is interesting. Tell me something else. Ralph. Ve sold pennants, megaphones, and bal- loons at the Goshen — Mishawaka football game, to make money for the class. Jack. Surely, a fine idea. Were there any seniors on the debating team? Ralph. Oh, yes. Joe Farrell, Leslie Divele ' , Ralph Blosser, Herbert Green, Wilbur Whitt ' e, and Kenneth Zook. That was a good team. Jack. AVere there any Seniors that received honors for outside work? Ralph. Kathryn Swartzbaugh won $100 toward a course at Purdue L niversity for having pro- duced the best work in the Home Economics course at the State Fair in Indianapolis. She represented Elkhart County, and received the honor of being one of the three highest in the state. Jack. Fine, that ' s quite an honor. Ralph. It sure is, and we are very proud of her. Jack. I happened to be on the honor roll last year, and I have been wondering who were on this year. Ralph. The seniors had about one-third of the class on the honor roll this year. Jack. Well, that ' s good. Ralph. Yes, it is. It is on the average, or if any- 13 THE CRIMSON thing, a little better than usual. Jack. I suppose there were a number of senior bo s who took part in athetics. Ralph. Yes. In football, Captain Berkey, Blough, Egenroad, Waltz, Hess and Whittle received G ' s. In basketball, we played in the liijt game of the district tournament which enabled the boys to receive sweaters. Jack. Who of the seniors got sweaters? Ralph. Well, let ' s see. Blough, Egenroad, Whittle, and McMahon. We are very proud of our basketball captain. Whittle, who has the honor of holding the highest number of points ever made by an indi idual of G. H. S. during a basketball season. Jack. Is that so. I read a lot about him in the papers but I didn ' t know he held a record that high. Ralph. Yes. Jack. Did Goshen enter any oratorical contest? Ralph. Yes, Joe Farrel received honors at the countv discuission league, and Kenneth Zook) represented Elkhart County in the District Ora- torical Contest. And, oh yes, the senior class play. We mustn ' t forget that. Jack. Oh, I know all about it. I saw it with my own eyes, and it certainly was gicar. Ralph. Thanks, Jack, we were sure it would be a success before it was gi en. Jack. I belie e it. Why Ralph, rio you know I would give most anything if 1 could graduate with the Class of ' 25. Ralph. ' es, Jack, we all make mistakes, but you surely made a bad one. Jack. I know it, and I have regretted it ever since, but I am going to enter school next fall and finish my high school course. Ralph. 1 iKc, Jack, fine. Jack. Not only that, but I ' m goirg to do all I can to pursuade all students of Goshen High School to finish the course too. Ralph. That ' s the true spirit. Jack. Kenneth Zook. CLASS SONG As Freshmen, we started four years ago, And for awhile seemed slow ; Our hopes renewed, our purpose high, Our faith did never die.

But we shall ne ' er forget ' I he days ve spent in Goshen High, And the friends so often met. The faculty has bsen the best.

Judge is seated at bench, Bailiff enters announcing. Bailiff. Miss Louise Hatch. Judge. Who is Miss Louise Hatch. ' Bailiff. Don ' t kno ' , your Honor, but she says she must see you. (Louise Hatch enters) Louise Hatch . Your Honor, I have a complaint to make about a man named Judge. You ' ie in the wrong place. Go see a law- yer and ha e him hx up your case. This is a civil court. Ve haven ' t time to monkey with frivolous young people in a huff about somethin:;. Louise Hatch. But, your Honor. I ' m neither frivolous nor young. I have graduated. Judge. Well that ' s different. Let ' s hear what the trouble is. L. Hatch . Well, when the Class of ' 25 passed on into another world, it, of course, left its last will and testament properly drawn up and sworn to, and Mr. O. L. Walter was named administrator. Judge. Mr. O. L. Walter — a very worthy man. He should make an excellent administrator. L. Hatch. Oh no — but he didn ' t. That ' s what I came to see ou about. He hasn ' t peiiormed bis duties at all. Wh , the class ' es most important possessions a;e left totting away instead of being passed on to the rightful heirs. (Tearfully) Imagine — beautiful curly hair, football ability, dozens of other talents — all hidden — because of this man ' s negligence. Judge. This is serious. But hat autborit ' have you to say this? Are you one of the heirs or ex- actly in what way are ou interested? L. Hatch . Well, you see. I wa;. -. ery intimately connected with this class in m youth — very mucii attached to it. Of course when I see its dying wish being disobeyed, it — it — almost breaks m heart. Judge. Very sad — very sad. But perhaps Mr. Walter has merely been too busy. Perhaps this will was very complex ; and, yo;i know, being administrator takes a good deal o: time. L. Hatch. Oh no, the will is very simple. In fact, I usually carry a copy of it. Judge. Fine, let ' s hear it. Then I can judge whether or not this man has an excuse for his negligence. L. Hatch. (taking from purse a document) You can ' t realize how it affects me to think of all these wonderful possessions being simply forgot- ten.. Oh. here it is. Shall I read it? Judge. ' es, go ahead. (She unfolds the paper and proceeds to read) L. Hatch. We. the Class of 1925, having come into our last hours, but being in full possession of all our mental faculties, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament. ITEM I We, as a class, bequeath : — To the junior class, the privilege of beginning at once to squabble over class plays, invitations, and the subject of collecting dues. To the entire student body, our earnest plea to uphold the reputatio i. given our school by the famous grand jury investigation. ITEM II We bequeath our individual possessions as follows: Marigrace ' s success with the Elkha c lellows, to Jane Ulery. Fritz Blougb ' s prominent possessions — his whisk- ers and his girl — to Charley Moxley. Roy Immel ' s Rudolf Valentino dancing, to Elmer ontz. Dorothv Cissell ' s slippers — our one and only pair of rubber heels — to Genevieve Jackson, Kenneth Zook ' s famous constitutional oration, to the ages.

Jack Rathka ' s pearly teeth, to all gum-chewers. Harold Swartz ' s blood-curdling laugh, to Vernon Sharpe. Eugene Boyt ' s imposing appearance, to Porgie Merrill. We do, hereb declare that these, our last wish- es, shall be faithfully executed, and we do declare that this is a conscientious disposition of our most dearly prized possessions. Drawn up in the fourth and last year of this our present school life, this twenty-eighth day of Ma -, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred twenty-five. Witnessed and signed Charley Burkett General Pershing Louise Hatch (L. Hatch folds document) Judge. Oh! Well then, your only complaint is that these possessions have not been duly distribut- ed by the administrator? L. Hatch . Yes, your Honor, and I consider it very important. Judge. Very well. The court shall reproach Mr. Walter for his negligence and rest assured that the dying wishes of the Class of 1925 shall be gratified. Curtain.

In a temple, where a G een God statue is set in the center of the room. A group of for- rrer Gorhen High School girls enter — They place gifts at the feet of the statue. FIRST GIRL. Oh, great and august Majestv, we have heard that you have the power of seeing th. ' ngs o er the entire wo-ld. Is this true ? GREEN GOD. 1 am the God of Prophecy. It is indeed true that I am blessed by the Superior God to see things that are happening all over the world. What is it that you want ? SECOND GIRL. We have come a long way to ask you to inform us where our former class- mates of the Class of 1925 of Goshen High School are, and what they are doing. GREEN GOD. Before I can ai iv ' er, you must light the magic lamps. (Two of the girls light the lamps). THIRD GIRL. The lamps are lit. GREEN GOD. I must first becomt accustomed to the light. (Short pause). I am looking around the earth. I can see France — now England — the Hawaiian Islands — now the United States. 16. THE CRIMSON FIRST GIRL. What do you see ? GREEN GOD. I see Dallas Whittle, coach of Notre Dame, at the Great Chicago, a hotel whose proprietors are Jesse Getz and Eugene Boyts. Mr. Whittle is in conference with Fritz Blough, coach of Wisconsin and Harrison Berkey, coach of Michigan. Charles Egenrode, sport editor of the Chicago Tribune, is also present at the con- ference. Passing from Chicago I come to Indianapolis, where I see Esther Muth, occupying the govern- or ' s chair in the state capitol, the first woman governor of Indiana. She is givmg orders to a committee, composed of Thelma Brown, Ruth Childs, Edith Gibb and Blanche Guffey — all leaders in politics — to investigate niearis of build- ing a canal from Lake Michigrui to Goshen, Indiana, now a thriving manufacturing city, thanks to the efforts of Joe Farrell Jr. Still in Indianapolis, the great racing stadium comes into view, where the annual speedway races are being held. The race is almost finished. Roy Foos, the manufacturer of the Foos Royal Eight, Racing Car DeLuxe, is anxiously watch- ing his entered car, driven by Russel Rathka, a famous driver. He is fifth at the beginning of the last lap — he passes a car at the first curve and is fourth — at the lounding of the last turn, he moves into third place. (Girls are excited) No v on the straight-of-wav he is secouii — now he ties with the first car — an entr ' from Elkhart, Indi- ana — again he is second ; but at the finish, Rathka races across the line for first place. (Girls cheer) And now I pass to Har ard Uni ersity. I sc.; Herbert Greene, president of the uni ersity, ad- dressing a group of his faculty, an.oiig whom are : the notable Leslie Diveley, instructor in science; Paul Kauftman, Doctor of Philosophy; Francis Bickle, a professor in trigonometry ; and Evelyn Wilden, instructor of fine arts. At the same university, I see, in the observatory, that plans are being made to send a rocket to Mars, by Professor Walter Mayes and Sidnev Plaut. Mr. Mayes hopes to put his rocket on the market to sell to the public, to take the place of Fords. Lee Miller has consented lo manufacture the rockets, and LeRoy Bakei has accepted a position as business manager of the compan . And now my vision reaches New ' ork, where I see the New Strand Theater, owned by Dorothy Cline. The famous Follies Revue of 1940, -a which Helen Kindle as Rene ' O ' Malley is starr- ing, is now running at the theater, with great success. Also in New ' ork the most important society event of the year is taking place — the annual Masque Ball given by iVIiss Bernice Miller. Miss Virginia Little is aidng her as hostess. One of the most important events on the program is the piano duet given by Misses Floreli and Isabell Holsinger, the twin piano wonders. Among the guests is Kathryn Reichard, a pruii.inent society leader in New ' ork. Still in New York, Miss The!a:a Goldsmith, who has gained renown as a novelist and who Ins taken Gene Stratton Porter ' s placi :.i tne literi.rv world, is talking over the microphone at Rad. ' j Station G. H. S . Among her unseen listeners are Ira Hoover, a famous radiophone manufac- turer, and Vada Weaver, mayor of Philadelphia, in which city she has made her Iiome. (GREEN GOD pauses — ) SECOND GIRL, (anxiously) Do ou see noth- ing else ? GREEN GOD. The vision is becoming dim. Stir up the fires. (Third girl stirs up the sand in the alcohol lamps) On the Atlantic Ocean, I see the good ship Pinafore captained h - Bernard Hess. Among his passengers are Kenneth Zook, V ' ilbur Whit- tle, and Earl Weltz, who are returning from a successful debate with England on the subject Refohed that prunes are better lor the health than rice. On the same ship are VVilidean Mar- tin, Florence Hooley and Thelma Ropp, return- ing ' : from a tour of the Thousand Islands. They stayed a week on each island. Also on the ship i? a symphony orchestra ; among the members are Catherine Whitehead, Ralph Blosser, and Joseph- ine Burridge. (GREEN GOD p.-uses ) FIRST GIRL. Please continue. GREEN GOD. Going on to France, 1 see Vir- ginia Cecil, Mary Miller and Lois Cripe con- ducting a gown and hat shop in Paris. Their shop sets the styles for the entire world. In the shop are Dorothy Cissell, Marigiace Krutz, and Louise Hatch. They are choosing their honey moon dresses with the aid ???? of their husbands- to-be — three wealthy, young men residing in New ork. 17 THE CRIMSON Also in Paris is John MciVlahon, a famous importer of oriental rugs and tapestries. He imports these expensive articles through his assist- ant and private secretary, Kathryn Blough, who buys the goods directly in the oriental countries. And now back to the United States and Goshen, Indiana, Kathryn Swartzbaugh is the wife of the most prominent doctor in the city, having been one of the brides at a double wedding, the other bride being Lois Wartzler, who became the wife of the mayor of the metropolis. Rosa Johnston is the head instructor of the cooking class at Goshen High School while Helen Ponko instructs the physical education class, hav- ing taken the place of Miss Ruth Cronk wlio has retired to a quiet and peaceful married hfe. Roy Immel and Sons is now the greatest sport- ing goods store in the country, and this establish- ment has helped to make Goshen the famous citv that it is. On a large farm a few miles from Goshen, I see Paul Phillips, closing a deal with a real estate agent from Los Angeles, Cal. Mr. Phillips has just purchased 500 acres of farm land, making his land total 25,420 acres. And now please extinguish the magic lights as I have granted your request. SECOND GIRL. But what about our class president, John Stoutenour ? What has become of him? GREEN GOD. Ah, yes, I almost forgot. Owing to his experience m quelling class fights, problems, and difficulties, he has become the holder of the highest office in the world. President of the United States. And now I am sure that 1 have informed . ::u of every one of your former class mates. You have seen that they all have been successful, but don ' t forget that most of their success is due to their ways in dear, old Goshen High School. Harold Swartz. CLASS ORATION CHARACTER BUILDING The one great ambition of every high school graduate is to attain the highest possible measure of success. To attain this goal, it is necessary to exhibit our best ideals of life, which ideals can only be obtained through the right kind of usi-lulness in life. This usefulness depends in great degree on char- acter, and the quality of one ' s character depends on how well we have builded our toundation for the ultimate result we obtain. Character depends upon our companions and associations. God created us with such delicate and sensitive natures that we are often unconscious- ly influenced by those around us. We fall into their habits and their actions. We acquire their eccen- tricities; we imitate their style, and many times their speech, even adopting their tone of voice. We are like a looking glass, in that we retiect the figures held before us. If a jolly acquaintance, who is brimming over with good humor comes to us, how soon we ourselves become mirthful, anii our whole being becomes aglow with enthusiasm! Or, in company with a sour, disagreeable person, how quickly do our spirits become depressed, and we soon yield to the same fault-finding tendencies. Some people always make us feel more kindly, earnest. and noble ; then there are others who soon turn the milk of human kindness sour, filling us with disappointment and dissatisfaction, as well as dis- trust. Since character is moulded largely by those with whom we come in contact, how careful should we be in selecting our friends and associates. Character is Destiny. We all sbiirt from a lowly plane — babyhood — in more senses than one. Thus, a well-rounded character is the result of years of patient well-doing, and careful action. Just as a human countenance is fashioned by a sculptor, so is character painfully and laboriously urought. It is the work of time, but at last it stands as fixed and unchanged as marble. Thus we are able to carve out a moral likeness, which, if moiiided out of a thousand kindly thoughts and efforts, will result in a likeness of truth and strength. If we write on paper, time will destroy the in- scription, and it will be forgotten ; but if we write on the human heart, the message is eternal. Thus the venerable Mark Hopkins once remarked, The true aim of the highest education is to give char- acter, rather than knowledge ; to train men to be rather than to know. We may have comparatively little culture, limited ability, and small wealth, and 18 THE CRIMSON still have a sterling character, which will always demand influence, and which will prove to he of real value — the noblest possession of our lives. E il character is formed in much the same way as good. One little thought — one little act adds its influence. If these thoughts and acts are pure and good, the soul will sparkle with goodness; but if they are the opposite, then we may fear for a weak- ening of the structure which we are building, and the eventual results will be deformit - and unloveli- ness. Frequent repetition of an act whether good or bad, causes a tendency toward its regular occur- rence, until it finally becomes a full-grown habit. If this is for good, it tends to help build character; but if bad, aids greatly in the downfall of the dwell- ing place of the soul. Character is power, and only through proper building can one attain a personality strong enough to wield influence that will guide men or nations. High character produces more character, just as an oak produces acorns, which in turn will again pro- duce the oak. If strong, it begets that which is mighty and powerful ; if weak, it leads only to wickedness and failure. The time for character building is limited. It is a thing that sets quickly and easily, as a plaster of Paris mould. It is therefore of vast importance that when we build, we build to stay — to make eternal what we are striving for — for character is eternal. We are building for ourselves and we are building for future generations; therefore, should we build more carefully, more earnestly, and more honesth ' . Dorotliv Cissell PRESIDENTS ADDRESS TODAY S GRADUATE On an occasion such as this, we are likely to dwell largely upon the privileges we have enjoyed, and upon the opportunities that may come to us. These attitudes may have sufficed in former years when each outgoing class faced practically the same co:.- ditions as their predecessors; but the Great War has changed the world, and we are going out to face entirely new problems, new ideas. Never before was life so intricate and exacting in its requirements; never before were human achievements so varied and wonderful. The earth is girdled with ribs of steel for transportation ; elec- tric wires transmit intelligence with the speed of the winds; and radio flashes men ' s latest discoveries and ideas in the space of a minute. These modern conditions demand efficiency, and efficiency depends upon the harmonious development of the power of the mind and body — the power to be observant, inventive, resourceful, e.xact, logical, and persistent. Every railroad, corporation, bank, newspaper, and manufacturing enterprise is looking for trained men and women to do its most important work. There are not enough to supply one-half of the demand. It is becoming increasingly difficult each year to secure men and women who have been fitted for these important positions. Insteaa of less room, there is more room at the top of the ladder today than ever before. The industries of the age are developing faster than the capabilities of men for handling them. The commercial, industrial, social, religious, and edu- cational enterprises of the present are vast and intricate as compared with those of former gener- ations. The more extensive, complicated, and diffi- cult these enterprises become, the greater must be the ability of the men who assume their manage- meni:. To cope with these conditions the educational standards of former generations have given wav to a liberal, thorough education which culminates in mental, physical and, moral culture and manual dexterity. The graduate of today has been trained for efficiency and service to th world, and his course of study and knowledge will serve as a foundation for his future progress. It is his privilege to go out into this changed world fitted to face these new problems, these new ideas, with a liberal education. It is a significant fact that we speak of the events at the completion of an educational course as Com- mencement, thus emphasizing that education is not an end in itself, but a preparation for life. The student leaves the world of books and enters the world of men and affairs, which will immediately challenge him to display what he can do and ho v well he can do it. Our first test is to be useful. We shall be judged not by what we have, but by what we do with what we have, and the honors are in- 19 THE CRIMSON tended for the capable — those who dare to venture and who learn to lead. Let us now adjust ourselves to the conditions as we find them. We have graduated from an institu- tion well-known for its equipment, and physical, mental and, moral training. However, the world cares little where we received our diplomas. But the world doe s care whether we are qualified for the great work of the twentieth century, and whether we belong to the leaders or to the followers. We have come here to equip ourselves for the battle of life .Soon we shall have entered upon that warfare. It will depend upon us winether we shall be victors or conquered. The world e.xpects great things, noble things, tedious things. Do not let us disappoint those who so tenderly nurtured us during the days of our preparation, but let us acquit ourselves like men, and bring credit upon this institution. John Stoutenour, ' 25 SENIOR PHILOSOPHY We, the members of the Senior Class, do hereby state, on the twenty-eighth day of May in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred twenty-five, that all well-meaning but inexperienced Juniors who would avoid sn early death in the immediate year to come, should take heed to this advice as set down by Min- er a, only daughter of Jupiter. Thou shalt not avoid going to school on warm, spring-feverish days because the school is a seat of learning, and an institution of the pupils, by the people, and for the pupils. Thou shalt not excuse thyself from U. S. History on account of a headache. Thrust thy head through a window, and the pane will disappear. Thou shalt not speed in the halls. Go out for the Finale Hop Tournament. Thou shalt not block door -ays. It would be an enormous expense to necessitate tne installing of traffic signals. Thou shalt not attempt to get thy lessons without thinking. Use thy head for something besides a hall tree. Thou shalt not sing in school. Get thee up to Room 60 and have Mr. Brinklow teach you to cultivate th vocal chords. Thou shalt not sleep in school. Besides disturb- ing thy fellow classmates, it is detrimental to the foundations of the building. Thou shalt not waste thy precious time. Employ it in making thy handwriting legible. Thou shalt not throw pennies in Room 37. Save them and become president of a bank some day. Thou shalt not converse during class time as it is very annoying; and do not overlook the fact that U might contract one if Mr. O. L. Walters is in charge. Thou shalt not consume food in any form what- soever, in any room but the cafeteria. Thy bringing up should inform thee that much. Thou shalt not agree at class meetings because it has been clearly demonstrated that the pugilistic way of settling things is the better system. Thus, agree to disagree, as your predecessors, and model class meetings Avill be yours. Thou shalt not attempt to do away with students who patronize the Junior Carnival as was done last year. Take the precaution to find out if they carry insurance. Thou shalt not excel in athltiiics. Too much attention would be averted from class parties. Last and most important, thou shalt not be too studious, but skip merrily over your hardships, com- monly known as lessons, and yo i will head the Honor Roll (?) perhaps almost as often as th, students of the Class of ' 25. Helen Kindle CLASS GRUMBLE CHARACTERS Judge Young Man Scene. A court room. A kind and benevolent- looking judge is presiding. An i:ate, young man of high school age enters the room. To do this he has to push the bailifl aside. He stamps to the front of bench. YOUNG MAN. This is the last straw. I won ' t stand it any longer. ( He looks up and recognizes the Judge). JUDGE. Hello, James. What seems to be the 20 THE CRIMSON matter : YOUNG MAN. AVell, Judge, it ' s this way. You know I work for Goshen High School, out here in the countr -, and I ne er hked the job very well, but I thought that it would lead to something CRIMSON GAL 2 higher so I stuck it out. He ' s treated me and all my fellow workers something fierce, and I ' x e been selected to swear out a warrant for his arrest. JUDGE. You ' re sure you want to uo it, James? I know this man pretty well, and he always seem- ed a good sort. YOUNG MAN. Good sort! You don ' t know him. We had to work our heads off and didn ' t get anything for it. JUDGE. Well, if ou want to swear out a war- rant, of course, I have to let you. Give me your reasons. lOUNG MAN. First, nearly all of us had to wail:. Judge, did you ever walk out there, e ery day, rain or shine, snow or hail, through all kinds of weather. He -ou!dn ' t furnish any transpor- tation as all the other places around here do. Then, if anybody did have a car he might as uell walk, because it had to be parked about four miles frorc the brain factory. That ' s count one. Now two. ou know every so often he calls us all together, and has his over- seer lecture to us to make us work harder, or ba- vl us out for not getting there on time. Of course, the longer we had been there the farther down in front we sat. About the first thing he did this year was to let those who had iust start- ed sit in front of us, and we ' d been there nearly four years. Disgusting! Tradition amounts to nothing now-a-days — ten years ago v.e would have sat on the stage ; now we sit ut the b:;ck. Judge, 5 ' ou read the newspapers. You kncv how educational the - aie. If we happened to pi:k up a newspaper during one of our off periods — and they weren ' t any too numerous — let me tell you, oh boy, how they did jump on our necks. ou would think that we wext going to turn into Leopolds and Loebs. Vliat diffeience did it make if we did read the funnies ? Aren ' t they edu- cational too- Soy, Judge, how many charges may I include? JUDGE. As many as you like. YOUNG MAN. Well, we get five minutes to go from one job to another. Can we talk? No! We have to tip-toe around and hisper. If we don ' t, bang! there ' s a U on ' our report and mamma and papa sure do enio - that. (Pause) JUDGE. That ' s all too bad. Did vou have to go ? OUNG MAN. Well, a few of us tried not going for one afternoon, but the least said about that the better. But I ' xe saved the xorst thing until the last. We ' ve got notice that we must lea e. Not a vacation but for good. After all this hard work, all we get is a recommendation. They call it a diploma and t have to hunt another job. That ' s what hurts. Judge. Just as we were beginning VALEDICTORY ' I he four yeais of one of the great periods of our individual lives ha e just drawn to a close. The sun -dies on the old da ' , each lengt.oening shadow causing emotion, and carrying back before our minds, the brilliant, man -hued memories and leminescences of days spent in Goshi-ii High. I he mutual striving toward one objective, and the satisfaction engendered b the victory of hard- wrested achievements have linked together bonds of close comradeship that must now be broken. Disunion and separation are accomplished. The dawn of a new, and perhaps greater day is at hand. The entire world is before us — its avenues of occupation and opportunitv stretching out end- lessly. The foundation of greater things has been laid. The superstructure of our separate lives must now be built in accordance with our varied characters and personalities. Ihen one constant factor in this building is the splendid training we have received within these walls. But whatever measure of eminence we individually attain, our thoughts will e er turn to Goshen High School ; and though our paths lie in different directions and perhaps will never cross, our minds will always letain gratitude for parents and teachers, and the fond reminescences of our school days, the glory of our school and class, and the fidelity of the friendships formed here. Individually, our ways part ; collectively, we take our place as loyal alumni.

H. S. To Establish an Honor System. To have Wider Student Participation in Activities of the School. To Attain a Higher Standard of Scholarship TO OUR CONTRIBUTORS As this, the last issue of the Crimson for the year 1924-1925, goes to press, we take occosion, mid the whirl of other thinj s, to thank those who, at various times during the year, have handed in via room No. 55, slips and sheets of contributions for publication in The Crimson. Theirs is true school spirit. We are well aware that contributing to a school publication is not a popular pastime but it is grati- fying to note the number of Crimson contributors, overcame material inclinations to the contrary and painstaking worked on articles assuming as they were handed in, the liability of having to undergo the dull drudgery of correcting the manuscripts be- fore they were published. Then again there is the idea of a standard. The Crimson, having no paid writers to produce articles to order , is largely what its contributors make it. And at the same time there is a standard, established partly by former Crimsons and contemporary school publications and partly by arbitrary objective, that must be reached. We sincerely feel that this stand- ard has not been lowered and that our contributors are the equal of any now supporting a magazine of the Crimson ' s type. The staff of the Crimson wishes to acknowledge the effort of those members of the faculty, alumni, and the student body who have contributed to its columns during the year. All Haii to the humble contrib ! May he support the Crimsons of the future as he has those of the past. WOULD WE MEASURE UP? If we were backed to the wall, each one indi- vidually, and measured on the Yardstick of School Spirit, how many feet could we boast, — or would it be inches ? Let ' s begin to take account of ourselves, of our assets and our liabilities. If we do not respond nobly to the call of the classroom ; if we are not giving ample support to our eminent band ; if we are not backing our school clubs in that do or die spirit; if we do not uphold our loyal athletic teams in victory and in defeat ; if we fail to lend a helping hand in e ery project that our school undertakes — then we have not genuine school spirit. Are wc throwing all our energy toward one activity, at the same time neglecting the hundred-and-one other features of our school that are worthy of our time and attention? If we are, we have not conceived the proper idea of school spirit, or we are turning a deaf ear to our convictions. Both are easily remedied. Thrusting aside our selfish desires, overcoming our lazy inclinations, ever barkening to the fight! fight! fight! of our Loyalty Song, let us call forth the best that is in us! Let us cooperate in making our school a school among 22 THE CRIMSON schools ! Inch by inch, let us grow until we reach the top-notch in school spirit. Lei us measure up! Thelma Goldsmith, ' 25 GOOD-BYE G. H. S. For four years we have been traversing a trail, the culmination of which we could not see. We accepted events as they cam.e, made the best of them, and then turned our faces ahead in that form of buoyant expectancy that only youth, full of the warmth and softness of spring, can possess. Now as we are nearing the end, the sheltering mists of our brief sojourn here are parting, and we know that we have made no mistake in choosing our path — that the veil served only to permit our de- velopment to proceed, unmolested by the thundering reality of a busv and hustling outside world. We begin now to grasp the proper perspective, and to get a glimpse of what we have gained. Not until we have stepped for the last time from old .G H. S. can we realize in full what a wealth of treasure we possess. But already we can see that the habit of consistent labor, when our more natural inclinations would have had us do otherwise, was a gain of inestimable value. During the past four years we have learned to respect constituted authority, and to follow the finest clauses of discipline, even though we felt that we had ver y just and logical reasons for believing that certain rulings should have been abolished. We learned of the spirit of pure democracy ; and without becoming bitterly partisan, we have been fitted to take our positions in a free and democratic society. As the curtain is falling on our high school life, we feel that the intellectual and social attainments we ha e beached here can be measured and their full worth realized only after the successive years nave shed their infinite light of understanding about us. We know not the details ; but we do know that the general state will be one of complete satisfaction to ourselves and, we sincerely believe, to those about us. As we press on toward that happy destination, our eyes must be turned to the future and to those things which it holds in store. But we can never forget the dear, old days in Goshen High School. Now and then, we shall halt in the onward journey, and take a fond look at the scene of our early ex- periences; and it can be only with a spirit of regret that we see that spot fading farther and farther into the distance.

The list of candidates is then submitted to the senior class, and the election of any individual to a position on the staff is made by popular vote. The advantages of an early election of the staff cannot be stressed too much. The major factor among these being that plenty of time is afforded for making plans for the entire year and that all of the staff members may become thoroughly accus- tomed to the routine. Moreover, this course is more greatly emphasized when the staff must initiate a change in the type of publication, as was the case this year when the senior class voted a change from the annual to the monthly magazine. In this event, the staff in forming its plans, cannot lean on prece- dent but must strike out for itself. As this was the condition under which the Crimson of 1924-25 was published it is from the angle of the organized staff that this article is written. When all formalities, with the selecting of the senior staff have been completed the staff enters upon its duties. First among these especially this year was laying out of the new magazine, as to the number of issues, size of the book, quality and kind of paper to be used in the cover and body of the magazine, arrange- ment of type, columns, general makeup, and other innumerable details. To mention only a few of the business side of the venture, there was the cost of the magazine to the staff in connection with printing and engraving, the amount of advertising to be used, and fixing the cost of advertising space and subscriptions. The magazine then must be presented to the assembly and all tentative plans regarding it be ex- plained, and as many as possible of the students ' signatures be placed on the dotted line of later-to-be- redeemed pledge cards. The problem of securing money that follows is the business manager ' s affair. His struggle for paid in subscribers takes the form of a large, drawn out campaign, with the members of the editorial staff rendering all the aid possible to supplement the sales psychology of the business manager. With a normal staff success for the magazine is determintd by the amount of financial support in its coffers. This is a tight and immovable law, and holds true equally in the publication of a pamphlet of a natural journal. The staff at first decided upon a sixteen page. 7 issue, size 1 y i x 10 4 magazine with cover and design to be changed to suit occasions ; the body of the book was to be enamel paper of good quality, type columns were 3 b} ' Sj ' s inches, using 10 point cas ' on type, lines spaced one point; the advertising was to constitute about one-fifth of the magazine. For purpose of economy and of securing novelty of design, it was decided to use, in lieu of zinc etchinss, wood-cuts drawn and cut by members of the com- mercial art class, under the direction of Mr. Arthur Sprunger, who has already described the process in the December issue of the Crimson. After these preliminary, but much discussed prob- lems were settled, attention was turned to staff organization. A junior staff consisting of two members from each class representing that organ- ization were selected by the senior staff, which voted upon the several high honor students of each respect- ive class. The various heads of departments, having by observation and direct information been broken into their tasks, began their routine work; and gradually as far as it was possible, the staff became welded into a smoothly acting group which must have all the essentials of a large family, where all jarrings and personal antagonisms are unthinkable. It will perhaps be interesting to know in just what does staff routine consist. After carefully surveying the field, the editor and his associate editors make out what is known as a news sheet, which is nothing more than a co ' lection of assign- ments for the members of the staff, stating the assignment, perhaps a feature, news item, or an 24 THE CRIMSON order of some nature, the person who is to convey it, and the day that it is to be turned in. This part of the routine is sometimes dropped after the staff becomes accustomed to its worlc, or the directions are given directh ' . If the assignment is handed in or collected from contributors on time, it is checked and sometimes handed back to be written or revised. It is then typed, read, and corrected and perhaps retyped. The finished material is then classified as to the section of the magazine to which it belongs; for example, in this year ' s Crimson, a combination of a magazine and newspaper, the make-up essentially consisted of three feature articles at the front of the book, the editorial section, current ne« ' s pace departmental news, athletics, literar. - section, and humor section. The pronounced characteristics of the article in question determine its classification. This collected material is known in newspaper parlance as copy . 1 he words of every article having been counted and marked, the editor proceeds to fit the copy into the dummy , or exact reproduction of the magazine, in that the type columns are exactly measured off on 16 sheets of blank paper. The fitting in consists in calculating the amount of space the typewritten copy will fill in the printed page. It is done in this way: an article on Pirates, which, for no other reason than that the editor things so, is to appear on page one of the magazine, contains about 750 vords. Now it has already been ascertained that for every running inch on the three-inch wide columns of 10 point tvpe, 50 words are required, a column of the Crimson being 8 inches long containing 8 times 50 or 400 words. Therefore, we iind that by dividing 750, the number of words in Pirates by 50, that the article will fill about 15 vertical running inches on the printed page. Allowing 2 inches for the placing of a decorati e title-head to the page, there are 12 running inches of space available on page one for the article or 600 -ords fitted in. There remains 150 words, or three inches of printing space; these are continued back to one of the upper inside corners of the ad page, where they serve the double purpose of filling space and attracting attention to the ads. In this way the entire dummy is gone through, and all measurements marked on the pages on which they are to appear. All marks for special printing refinements such as initial letters, boxed headlines, different sized type, and italicized words must be marked on the copy as well as on the dummy. The business manager also makes a dummy, on which is measured and plotted out the various advertise- ments, as well as attached copy, and direction for use as size of type, position of cut in ad, etc. When all this is completed, the entire copv is seal- ed in an envelope and delivered to tl-.e pi inter, who begins to set it up on his linotype, or typeslug cast- ing machine, and the staff is gi en a brief respite to ha-ie the plates and wood cuts ready for the issue. If a cartoon is required, it is drawn somewhat larger, perhaps twice the size that it is to appear in print. The copy or draw ' ing is marked the size that the finished etching is to be, and is sent to the engraver who reduces the drawing by the photo engraving process, and returns the final cut , as it is called. When a picture is to be reproduced, the process is essentially the same, except that, the photographer takes the picture. The picture is trimmed to he proportionate and to exclude all unnecessary hack ground; the size and line screen, usually 133 lines to the inch, is specified and when the cut, in this case called a halftone, is returned, the cuts are deli ered to the printer and placed as marked on the dummy. Ry this time, the printer, if finished with the t pesetting, returns the dummy and the proofs of the type on long semi-tissue paper sheets, with two long columns of print to the sheet. This proof is called galley proof The proofs, some 14 columns of it, are then trimmed and pasted into the dummy in their proper places as before calculated, and except for the fact that the proof is obviously pasted into the dumm , the latter is the same in appearance as the finished magazine. The dummy is then returned to the printer, who later returns what is known as page proof ; that is, proof made up so that it has the identical appear- ance of the finished page in the printed magazine. This is corrected and again sent to the printer. Occasionally, a third proof is corrected. The m agazine is then run oft ' and later distrib- uted. The staff of ' 24- ' 25 got out seven issues of the Crimson — the first magazine being of 16 pages ; five, of 20 pages; and the augmented senior edition, of 48 pages. Although the work was heavy at times, the staff of eighteen people accomplishd the task 25 THE CRIMSON 3 o o 5 Ld £5 . a - c N ' o _c — S- SO 15 ; s «- 1 ir j2 s u; 0 S ■ =5 Z j= ' ? o P5 ■ c 5 aa . . §-0 - c« X -ha ' ■ s; J ' X M r ' « 0- b-X, r rO CQ bo I ™ u t M o c X iffi OS u - — « c ■■ 35 „ °hJ CJ O S2 iso ' Ut = rt 26 THE CRIMSON GIRLS ' LEAGUE GIRLS ' LEAGUE CREED OFFICERS believe in the Girls ' League and in that for which it stands.

It proved its possibilities by the victory over Middle- bury and the winning of the hard-fought, overtime battle ith Laporte. After these games the Crim- son and White team encountered a slump, and were defeated by South Bend and Walkerton, during the quarantine of the city of Goshen. At that time the remainder of the games that were to be played at home were postponed because of the epidemic. In the first game, after the ban was lifted, the Crimson warriors handed the South Benders — the heretovore undeftated team having six straight victories to their credit — a i-2 defeat, which placed Cioshen in second place. THE PLAYERS The team of ' 25 is one of the best that Goshen has had in recent years. Dallas Whittle has de- veloped into an excellent pitcher and has been mowing down the batters in great fashion. Charles Egenioad, one of the best catchers in the league, handles Whittle ' s slants in fine style. The Crimson and White in-field with Wm. Fiedeke at first, Robert Bigler, second, Harvey Pierce, short-stop, and Blough, third, is one of the best parts of the Goshen machine. Coach Grater has also found a good outfield consisting of Melvin Alwine, right field, Everett Seaman, center, and Pierce Pratt left field. The team is rather erratic in its batting; in som.e instances, when the bases were full, the batters lacked the punch to put over a hit ; but they still manage to knock out enough runs to bring home the bacon. There have been two real finds this year in two players that are new to bsaeball in G. H. S. They are Skeet Seaman and Harvey Pierce. Skeet , in center field, has been playing an excellent game, the opponents seldom being able to get a ball past him. Harvey Pierce, at short-stop, covers his terri- tory in a fashion that is nothing short of miraculous. He handles the easy rollers, the hot ones, and the high, roaring balls with equal precision. Bill Fiedeke at first base is remarkably steady, missing but few throws to his corner of the lot that are at all possible to get. Bobby Bigler is a little live wire at second and covers a lot of ground. Fritz Blough guards third and does his best to keep all invaders awa . Pierce Pratt and Mel Alwine are very good fielders and are mountains of strength at the bat. Goshen High School has the best baseball team it has had in years; and, despite its blow-ups in the South Bend and Valkerton games, still has good chance to win the championship. If South Bend loses one game and Goshen wins all of hers, there will be a tie between the two. If South Bend loses two and Goshen wins hers, the Crimson warriors will have the championship without playing off a tie. The league standing is as follows: South Bend 6 1 .875 Goshen 3 2 1.600 Walkerton 4 .i .501 Nappanee J r ■ ' - Laporte i 5 .375 Middlebury 1 5 .166 Thurston Ulrich, ' 26 THE QUINTET OF ' 26 The close heartbreaking defeats and the tough- fought thrilling victories of the hardwood have all slipped from our minds; but there ' s always an- other season ahead of us, and it is interesting to know what prospects G. H. S. has for a champion- ship team next season. (Continued on Pnt e 36) 31 OH! YOU SUMMER-VACATION Did you ever realize how well we, that notorious younger generation, enjoy punishment? While we are really enjoying our school terms we are longing and wishing for that beloved summer vacation. And when it at last arrives THIS is what we have. In the mornings we will get up at unearthly hours to go fishing, swim.ming or hiking. If a fishing trip, we will sit in a hard boat, hold a pole and feverishh stare at the cork, which always continues to float ; if in swimming, we ' ll get wet and then lie in the sand or on the pier, and get an inch-deep coat of sun biijn ; if on a hike, we will tramp until we are weary and completely covered with dust and dirt — and we think we are having a glorious vacation ! We go on a camping trip. Oh! what a lark! The first night after we have at last got the tent up, a storm comes and blows it away and everything is soaked, and we perhaps spend the rest of the night in a tree. How appropriate! The second night perhaps we ' ll fair better. No storm arrives, but all the mosquitoes do. We spend most of the night battling them against great odds; and finally after they get tired chewing us, we fall asleep as the sun rises. Next da ' everyone is peevish, because of those funny, little mosquito bites that are in tlie sun burn area and can ' t be scratched. We think we are getting close to nature and we are — human nature. Then if we go to a fashionable resort, that is the cream of them all! We spend twenty-three hours of the day, trying to devise a costume different from everyone ' s and the other hour envying some one ' s. Oh! I don ' t have that time problem worked out right, do I ? We clean white shoes, at least three times a day ; and all that besides massaging our faces so we won ' t show the wear of our vacation. Then if we play tennis or golf in the hot sun, we become so tired that it takes the whole next day to recover. Give me the school term where everything is done leisurely and easily. I think the fellow that is strong for the summer vacation is the sap. of tiic family tree. M. Adeline Widner, ' 26 A TRAGEDY Twas the night befo;e — exams! and all throu.;h the liouse not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse — except Jasper, Poor Jasper was confronting his Fate — alas ! prepare to weep ! Dism.al dark, midnight shadows were cast on his ghostly face. He was surrounded — by books, books, books. History, georr.et ry, a! kinds of books — and only one de ' apidated cranium to pul ' em in. But Jasper was trying hard. A t 2 a. m. he had read six million pages — grand total, and his frenzied mind could grasp no more. Oh gwash he cri;d, in accents wild, I give up! Instantly out of the grim darkness arose a dark figure with masked face and horrible deep voice. Aha. it groaned, shaking a bonv finger. Jasper, you are doomed. You have played with fire all semester. I challenge you to survive the exams! If ou fail, beware. — ' ou shall be disinherited by your parents and your allowance cut off. You shall be thrust from your position as back-guard on the champion basketball team. You shall be forced to attend the same classes another semester, and vou v -ill not graduate and become famous. Take your choice, Jasper, of braving the exams or coming with me. Ah, Death, sighed Jasper, you win. T!ie next day the sad news was broken to the teachers. Very sad, said one teacher, dropping a tear. Very sad — but ' tis better so. He could never get through in history. Nor geometry , said another teacher. Nor English , said another teacher. Nor anything else , said the principal. Poor Jasper! May he rest in peace. Louise Hatch 32 THE CRIMSON A JUNIOR ' S CONTEMPLATIONS I have often wondered as the day;, go by, What I would do when I got out of high, Whether I would go right to work in a store. And whether I would continue to learn more and more. I do not ever know what I want to be, What work I would enjoy in the greatest glee, I won ' t be a doctor ; the sight of blood makes me ill ; As a cook I ' ll eat too much. I know I will. There are many, man ' jobs that are open to all, And many, many fields ; such as, music and law ; So I guess I ' ll just wait, till I get out of school. And let the matter of work, in my mind, rest and cool. Margaret Hawk, ' 26. SO LONG So long. Seniors, we hate to see you go, but we know that you have the spirit of G. H. S. impressed so vividly in your mind and heart that you will ne er forget it. ou know that when you were those little Freshies that everyone loves, yet pities, you felt that Seniorhood was impossible. We all feel that way. You thought that the knowledge and dignity of a Senior was far from your school life. Well. so did we. Then the next ear. that last in the old high, you felt a little bigger and wiser, and often forgot to wish you were a Senior. You began to see that it would not be an altogether impossible climb to reach the highest class. ' ou began to hope and to take life a little more happily. As Juniors you were somewhat bewildered. ou felt like a freshie because of the new school, but vou Aere instantly reminded of your median position between Seniors and Freshmen. Finally the Junior spirit won out, and you felt learned and old, far above the lower two steps of high school life. Then, Seniorhood — Ah hem! What a feeling: as if all the responsibilities of the school were on your shoulders. ou, in a way, pity your under- classmates and wonder whether they will ever grow up ; yet you rather envy them because they still mav remain in our good, old school. How do I know all this? Oh. I ' m a Senior-to-be and am very wise and discerning ( ?) Margaret Hawk, ' 26 SOPHS, YOU ' RE TH£ CLASS FOR ME! Would I be a member of any other class? Not for the world ! Other classes may have their good points, but they have their bad ones. We may have our bad points, but we have our good ones. There ' s something about this class that makes me want to be loyal to it. There are so many wonderful girls and fellows that it does a person good to be with them. ' 27 ' s my class — , and I love it. I ' m glad all of us will be together for two more glorious years. There are brilliant possibilities for these years, for Who knows but what tomorrow may be the best day of my life. Let us feel, towards all our classmates, love and onlv love. THE FRESHMEN The Freshmen are a jolly bunch. Well versed in ever ' play ; And when some fun is in the wind, We ' re there most any day. Then, too, in academic things We ' re not behind the rest. We may not LOVE to study hard. But yet we do our best. Our colors are the green and white — Full of fun and worth, To show our aim for ' 28, The best class on this earth ! Next year we will meet again. Oh, how the time does fly! But now to all our many friends We say to you. Good-bye. Anna Amsbaugh. ' 28 THE SPIRIT LEAVES Students stream from the entrances of the high school, books tucked under arms, rulers protruding from bulgy pockets. Shouting and singing fills the air, then gradually dies like the last expiring breath of some great monster. School is out. The skeleton will stand silent and forbidding for three months, then again the spirit of old Goshen High School will return to take up the activities of another year.

We have decided that it is unfair to charge everybody the same price for the Krimzon, because some people like it better than others, and therefore ought to pay more. We put you on your honor and expect you to pay us the correct amount which may be found by using the following formula. Take the number of years and divide by the number of sisters your brother has, (if you have no brother, add the number of blocks you walk to school instead) and subtract the number of times you took Algebra 3. If you understood the Hindu Formula add 26; if not subtract 4, and divide by 6. If you subscribed to the Crimson, sub- tract 100; if not, add 64. Call this number x. Then turn to page x in the dictionary, and count the number of words on the page. This will be the number of mills for 100 Krimzons. • EDITORIAL « • ■- ■:?■ ■ • •■ -• • The end of school draws nigh. We are leaving you forever. Nevermore will you read the Krimzon. We have worked hard, thinking of junk for this magazine and we hope you enjoyed it. If you didn ' t, we are sorry: but we feel that you have yourself to blame as we asked you at least 1,000,000,000 times for assistance and sug- gestions. However, let ' s be friends. If we slammed you in an editorial, excuse us; we didn ' t mean to offend you. We now wish you the best of luck and bid you a fond and lingering farewell. Sidney Plaut, ' 25 • OUR CLASS EXERCISES PRESIDENT ' S ADDRESS Corridor— 183, Cell 17, No. 1429, Michigan City, Indi- ana., U. S. A. CLASS HISTORY A very difficult task is experienced by every Senior class on choosing their historian. The rule was not changed with the Class of ' 19 to ' 25 inclusive. However they had a slight advantage over the preceding classes in that I had taken a correspondence course in For-get-mi;- not, a class in memory conducted by Mr. Ignoramus Fergette, a Frenchman and student of Coue. Mr. I. Fergette had trained me so successfully that it was not necessary for me to ponder over large, dusty annuals or :o find the secretarial notes. The Class of ' 25 entered school in 1914, and was then the Class of ' 19. Every year, another year was added until the adding machine wore out and we decided to graduate. During our freshman term which comprised four years, we had one party. This was given by the faculty and was held in the office. Every one who had shot fewer than eight (8) teachers was permitted to attend. This included nearly all of the class because as freshmen we were very timid and very seldom carried rifles or even pistols to school. Due to the ravages of the terrible soph ' s only 75 were able to be with us at thebeginning of our fifth year. W e were very thankful for this, because the ones that had left were very bright, and they outshown us in everything, including recess. The remainder of the students were liv ing up to the class motto, If at first you don ' t get through, bluff, bluff until you do. • This was the first year that any intermural tourneys were held, and we had the honor to win the African Golf Championship. In ' 21 we were all juniors. It was this year that the class orchestra composed of Catherine Whitehead, ap- propriately played and sang, the Sextet from Lucia on the saxusaphone. It was then decided that a Junior Carnival would be held, and everyone got behind it and pushed. We know from experience. At the beginning of our senior year, we had about 349 members, many other classes having caught up with us. Much notoriety was gained at the first part of the term by a staid senior who insisted on working in the study halls. This was a new thing to be experienced by the faculty but they met the crisis admirably; and by expell- ing the student for falsely misrepresenting the spirit of G. H. S., no more such embarrasing situations arose. The class play entitled Electric Love, a shocking pro- duction, was put on by al least ten of the members, and witnessed by the rest of the school, free of charge. Graduation day was a great success, but it was necess ary to kill only one sheep for diplomas. Most of us were lambed. Although H. S.

We were well satisfied. For once we got some response. We saved the best for the last, so the (only) compliment we got is printed at the last. We regret that our admirers did not sign their epistles because ve are unable to thank them personallv, but we will take this opportunir - to express our sincere apprecia- tion for the well merited award which we received. Editor (S. P.) Hello Sid, You weren ' t such a bad fellow until someone told you you were a humorist. They certainly did play a joke on you that time, didn ' t they, old top? You can stilt get it back at them though. Just write a real, long, funny story. You know, spin a yarn long enough to make ear muffs for all the elephants in Africa. Just think of those poor boobs wading thiough pages of pathos. Page after page, pathos after page, page after pathos, pathos after pathos. Pages, pages, pages, pathos, pathos, pathos — . There are lots of ways of punishment, but whatever you do, don ' t stop writing your section. The seniors need chastisement and the most severe possible. The worst is not too bad for them. So give them of vour best . I certainly am glad that you think your writings are funny, because if vou really knew what they were like. you ' d commit suicide. Please don ' t take suicide for the theme of one of your jokes (Don ' t kill yourself) because I hold it sacred. I once heard of a criminal who committed suicide. He was insane If I remember cor- rectly, he thought he was a humorist. He told the warden one of his jokes and the poor sap got muscle bound mopping up the warden ' s tears. Just a word of advice. When your ' re in prison don ' t tell the warden any of YOUR jokes . You must certainly know who I am so I won ' t sign my name to such a public epistle. Your friend, E. April 29, 1925. My Dear Sidney Plaut: (So-called humor editor) You asked my opinion of your bunk so here it is. I have been able to read for about 10 years. I have read newspapers, magazines, and books galore. I have read short stories, long stories, fish stories, true stories, funny stories, sad stories, love stories, western stories, detective stories, good stories, and bad stories. But after reading your bunk I realize that this is the first time that I ' ve read obituaries. If you must give notice of the death of your over- worked brain , why do it in the Crimson? Yours sincerely, I. C. Yurkrazv May, the something or other. Joke Editor, Sidney Plaut, Although my opinion of your jokes may not mean much, I am nevertheless writing it, emboldened as I am by your request. I enjoyed your January jokes best; especially that edi- torial entitled ' Vacations. It was wonderful, I don ' t think I ever cried so much. You are an artist; I have never read a tragedy as intense as yours. I only wish I could write like you. I ' d write things for my uncle to put on tombstones. (He ' s a stone-cutter in Lima, Ohio.) Ivlaybe he ' d give you a job if I ' d ask him Would you want me to? What a silly question; o fcourse, you don ' t even know me. Alas, for me! I see you go by sometiix;s in your nice, big car, and I wish — I wish — Oh, you can ' t guess what I wish. ou ' re such a fine boy, and you always have so many nice jojces — Oh, I know all about you — if I could only be introduced to you sometime — . It would be heavenly. Well here I am, almost making love to you instead of telling you what little me thinks about your funny jokes. I wonder what a prominent man like you, with such a wonderful sense of humor thinks about lonely, little me. Why do you let other people print stuff on your pages ' ' ou know all those cheap, humorous things on the same page with your masterly writings sort of dispel your pathos. If you haven ' t enough to fill the space without them, perhaps little me can help you out. You know my uncle, the one I told you about in Lima, has just stacks and stacks of obituaries, so nice and mournful. I think of you when I read them, and I ' m sure he ' d loan them to me if I ' d ask him. If you want me to get them, just hang a blank sheet of paper on the bulletin board in the Fresh- rran assembly, the second period, Monday morning. Then I ' ll get them and put them in the contribution box. Even though you don ' t know me, I want to help you all a little freshman can help a great big, handsome senior. Why don ' t you say something back to that horrid T. N. T. It makes me so mad every time I see those terrible things it says about you. But my uncle says that if you want to be prominent you must expect to be attacked. He says he was, and so I guess if you ' re going to be a stone cutter you ' d better get used to it now. I really must stop. 1 suppose you are angry with me now for putting such a personal letter in the contribution box, but I won ' t sign my name so it doesn ' t make much difference. Sincerely, V. P S. I ' m sending a Crimson to uncle to find out what he thinks of your writing. Joke Editar. You seemm to be nuty enogh too askk ar idear off your joke coorner. Well I think itt is noo good We had betrr not have anny inn the laast Crrimsson. You aint funnny, youur justt fisshy, and I gess itt issntt youur fait. Pleze doont rite eny moore off that bunr. A Wise Freshmann Humor Editor: In reply to your request for comments on your page, I thought I ' d write and tell you how poor I think it is. I often quit your page in disgust, and turn to my latin translation for pleasure. They say where ' s there ' s so much smoke there must be some fire, but believe me, I ' m getting mighty tired of smelling the smoke while trying ts find the fire. Once I did find a joke on your page b,ut it had been copied from the 1S23 issue of the journal of the United Undertakers . ' Association. Yours truly. One Who Takes a Joke and Likes It. THE COMPLIMENT Your jokes aren ' t so awful bad. Thev could be worse. 35 Compliments of BICKEL GULP THE REXALL STORE Sodas Cigars Novelties Toilet Requisites {Continued from Page 31) Starting with the veterans there is Chapman, the big, lanicy pivot man for the Crimson. Butch has seen many games come and go in his three years at center, and should account for winning many games in the coming year. Next on the veteran list is Swihart, our depend- able back guard. He is the man that causes the teams in this neck of the woods to get all their points on long shots. Howard came to Goshen High in his sophomore year and made the team. He developed basketball skill with leaps and bounds, and is one of the mainstays for the year of ' 26. For the other guard position we have Don Tieg- ler. He is another two letter man though he lias only been in high school two years. Tig guards excellently and has an uncanny eye for the basket on long shots. Bud Leatherman, the small but mighty, hard- playing forward, will be on the first five also, if he plays the same game he did this year. Bud h.aJ City National Bank Goshen, Indiana And Now- When or if You Run a Car REMEMBER We Can Equip It Properly GOSHEN AUTO EQUIPMENT COMPANY 120 SOUTH MAIN STREET 36 trained hard and played on the seconds for two years; and then was put on the first team this year. He is always on the move and thinking of the game. The left forward position will no doubt be filled by Fred Swihart, Howard ' s kid brother . Fred was battling under a handicap this year, being ineligible the first semester. He was inexperienced also, but played a brand of ball that will save him a berth on the quintet next year. These men will keep flighting for their posit ions: Peffley, Wartzler, Gingrich are striving for the forward position ; Tully, Longnecker, and Alwine, for the guard positions. Besides these, the many newcomers will undoubtedly help put a fast, hard- playing five on the floor for next season. William Fiedeke, ' 26 the delay. At the beginning of the school year there are not so many activities in which to engage, consequently the festival will probably be better attended than if it had been held immdiately after the scarlet fever epidemic. The class will devote time this summer to the extension of their former plans and will have even more acts than were originally prepared. Arline Ulery, ' 26 SAVE YOUR PENNIES The Juniors need not be at a disadvantage to begin their Senior year because of the postponement of the carni al. If the students support the project next fa-11, the class will have no reason to regret It has happened. She upon whom we had depended, who had held our faith and trust, upon whom we centered all our hopes and fears and who was our last line of de- fence, has forsaken us. A few of the chronically pessi- mistic have been predicting it for a long time, but we optimists still have faith that the girl of Our Dreams would carry on. Instead of placing her on a pedestal, we should have remembered that the archangel Lucifer fell from heaven and that it was all too probable that she, a very human girl, would in time weaken and yield to temptation. Upon seeking for a casus calametatem, the weather seems to lead the field, although it is closely followed by — you say, when did this occur? — Oh, the barbers reduced their rates yesterday, and she went down after school and had her hair bobbed.

Dear Sidney: You have asked for statements of poinion as to whether or not your Krimson is being enjoyed by the student body. Allow me to state that I have not hitherto criti- cised your section of the Crimson because I have not deemed it worthy of such notice. Now that you express- ly desire it, you most assuredly can not be denied that privilege. Primarily, the senior class m.ade a monumental error when it chose you as joke editor. I must confess that I was foolish enough to believe last October that you were fitted for the task of editing a humor column. Your humor consists of a store of second and third-hand jokes derived from various periodicals which your are just clever enough to fit into circumstances as tliev arise, and which give a surface appearance of originality. These jokes can be very well pieced into conversation, but when it comes to making a permanent record which might be detected by students who read various magazines, or, by chance, the publishers themselves, you are the possess- or of sufficient sense to know that to follow such a course might result in serious embarrassment, to say nothing of the damage resulting to your reputation as a humorist. Because of the above reasons you have not dared to write the major content of your own page. As the only plausible atlernative you have allowed a number of boobs to fill your space with unspeakable bunk. You know, and every one else knows, that you were elected to the position because it was expected that you would write the material to be printed. As for the running of the Krimson in the last issue of the magazine, I suggest When You sit down to a dmner and eat a dish of GOLD SHIELD Corn or Peas, use GOLD SHIELD Catsup or Mustard, eat a piece of pis made from GOLD SHIELD Pumpkin or Mince Meat; then drink a cup of GOLD SHIELD Coffee with GOLD SHIELD Milk, you ' ll know you have had a real, delicious repast.

I am only a Freshman so I cannot go to the Senior-Junior Ball, but the boys are sure to want to take me to others. I am very young and unsophisticated, but I know they all like me because they follow me in the halls while classes are passing. Now, Miss Blake, shall I accept these dates, or do as my parents suggest and wait twenty or thirty years be- fore I start going with the boys? Dear Audrey: I know that many heart qualms assail the beautiful, young girl because her parents object to her having dates, but if I were you I would dissobey my parents and get all the dates you can.

H. S. We, the Junior Class, feel it our duty to advise and admonish you as to the few positions that would gratify your Alma plater ; and you. being loyal ex-students, will doubtlessly carry these suggestions out to the letter. Now, we advise Dallas Whittle to begin at once his life study of botany, in which we are convinced he would most surely succeed. Sidney Plaut, we hope, will soon begin his studies under Miss Doris Blake, in order that he may be competent to take her place upon her expiration. We would be highly gratified if Bunnie Hatch would consent to run as candidate for President of the United States on the Liberal ticket. It is our most earnest wish that Herbert Greene will soon begin his publication of a magazine that will put the Golden Book on the shelf. The Holsinger twins will undoubtedly out shine the Dolly Sisters in fame and popularity. Marigrace Krutz, we are told, has ambitions to open up a Correspondence Club, and we give her our sincere and hearty commendation. We suggest that John Stoutenour begin work as an understudy of Mr, Heefner. Walter Mayes, we understand, is deeply interested in spiritualism, and we sincerely hope that he may yet ach- ieve his great desire to communicate with Cleopatra.
