gS on the pathu au to school u?e haue «- i turned, This scene brouqht to mind a maxim u;e had learned; ' Tis educalion forms the common mind; Just as the truig is bent, the tree ' s inclined. As the branches bu a m-mtle of sparkling white, Are gracefullu curued, so in the wau that ' s right Our Hues are directed, as teachers bestow True qems of learning, as fair as this snoip. Mary E. Adams, ' 26 TO OUR PARENTS WHO HAVE BY ESPECIAL EFFORT MADE POSSIBLE THESE FOUR YEARS OF SCHOOLING, AND WHO WERE ALWAYS READY TO GIVE US A WORD OF CHEER IN OUR MOST DISCOURAGING MOMENTS, WE DEDICATE THIS BOOK THE CRIMSON, 1926 ORLIR J. SCHROCK FRAHK HESS LILLIAN M. DRAKE J. IP FOREMAN President Secretary Treasurer Supi. o Schools THE CRIMSON Modern Knighthood These are peculiar days in which we live. They are so peculiar that most every writer or speaker on the topics of the day, attempts to characterize these curious days. Each one as he sees the times, measures current customs and practices by his own standards. One says these are wicked days, and he refers to the newspaperj rilled with accounts of robberies, murders, and suicides. Glenn Frank says, The great American game is not baseball, but addition. We have a positive passion for measurement ; our national coat-of-arms might well carry a statistician caressing an adding machine. He goes on to show that we are so busy adding numbers and reporting our growth and great- ness, that we haven ' t much time for real work ; that because of our passion for growth and bigness, we are always harping about our size and importance, and are not giving sufficient time to the doing of things worth- while. Another thinks that the youth of today are jazz crazy ; and some youth think that the old fogies are more numerous than in any period they find described anywhere in history. To some this is a bright day, and a wonderful day in which to live ; while others think the clouds never more completely cut off the sunlight of promise. It certainly is a day, too, when there seems to be little unanimity of purpose or endeavor. Many fine organizations are floundering around with fine purpose but no objective. Give some great task, and see how chivalrous the world becomes. In the chivalrous days of old, every knight had his fair lady for whom he was ready to dare and to fight. She was his big idea. And so it is today, only a great purpose is neces- sarv to provoke great deeds. When the Lusitania was eoing down to certain destruction, men sacrificed their lives instinctively and unflinchingly, to save women and children. And one brave woman, no less chivalrous than the bravest of the men, refused to go out in safety, and leave her husband. She preferred to sacrifice her !i e with his, that others might live. Some fifty years ago, Jacob Bunn was engaged in private banking business in Springfield, Illinois. During the panic of 1873, this bank failed with liabilities amounting to $800,000. After everything had been realized from the bank ' s assets, there was still a some $228,000 due the depositors. A settlement was then made through the bankrupt law whereby the Mr. Bunn was not legally under further obligation to pay another cent. But Jacob Bunn was not satisfied to meet only his legal obligation. He spent the rest of his life in an honest endeavor to pay the re- mainder of his debts. After his death in 1897, his children assumed his debt. They carried on for more than twenty-five years until they had paid every cent of the prin- ciple, and 5% interest for the entire time. That was what we call modern chivalry, or chivalry of service. — Superintendent J. W. Foreman.

I wonder, if it cannot be truthfully said today, that every battle in American history, from Lexington to the shell scarred fields of France, has been won by the school boys and girls of America. So, too, on the great battle fields of business and profession, the victory has been won by the boys and girls who have been trained in that great preparatory school of Amer- ican citizenship, — The American Public High School. For in the high schools of America the boys and girls learn to know and to judge that which is noble and pure, and right, and equitable in the lives of the great men and women of history. And it is in the schools that they emulate these examples, and form the ideals that carry them through the battlefields of war, commerce and industry. In this day of modern invention and rapid living comes the cry from the lecture platform, the press, and the pulpit, What will become of the present generation of young people of high school age? Seemingly the question is asked without an inves- tigation as to the validity of the question. The scientific investigation conducted by educational agencies have revealed that the high school boy and girl is moral, is truthful, is honest, and a lover of justice. We who are with this younger generation know the above statement is true. We be lieve that progress is being made, and this generation is an improvement over the past generations, and that future generations will improve so that it may always be said that the victories won in war, in business, and in the professions will be won by the boys and girls trained in the public schools of the land. — Prinxipal O.

You and I, a three act comedv, Friday evening, March 26. in the auditorium. As it war impossible to secure Miss Edna Agar, the coach, at any other time, it was necessary to have the play a month earlier this year. Mis:: Agar selected ? wel ' -balanced cast Considering the fact that rehearsals were held for only two weeks, all the more credit is due the coach and the cast. The play choser. thi:. yeai wa- writter by Philip Barry, and when first produced, in 1923. was declared one of the out-standing comedies of the current season. Ir brief, Mr Barry ' : talc tell? the sad story of another White who deserted artistic field? ir hi:: youth for a life of business. However, when he is forty-five, he abandons his life of acquisition giving up soap making on a large scale for portrait painting on a small one. I: is an ironica touch that the picture he paints — of a lovely girl — is used for a soap advertisement. In the shadow of the mar ' s experience lie: the hesitant venture of his son, who — likewise spurred to art — wishes tc give up the study of architecture for a business enterprise in order that he may make enough money to support a wife. But through the fore- sight of hi: sweetheart — she later becomes his wife — he goes abroad to pursue his artistic impulses. White, Sr„ continues his painting, and again enters the soap business.

They have been well represented in all branches of school activities. Among their achievements, the inter-class football championship is perhaps the greatest. The junior team won the trophy which was offered by the school, by virtue of the 6-0 defeat they handed the senior gridders in the final game of the tournament. The credit for this victory, and the resulting championship that went with it, must go to Fred Swihart, who, in the closing minutes of the game, broke loose from the senior tacklers and sprinted 40 yards for a touchdown. The members of the class showed their appreciation to Captain Kennell and his men by presenting them with appropriate numerals and monograms. The basketball team — which consisted of Captain Straub, Miller, Winger, Mer- rill, Farrell, Woods, Stump, and Lantz — did not fare quite so well, winning three and losing three of their games. However, they may be commended for the spirit they showed, for in all their games they played hard and fair, and never quit until the final whistle had blown. The juniors were fortunate in their choice of class officers this year. I hose elected were: Robert Gingerich, president; Hugh Shanahan, vice-president; Rachel Weaver, secretary; Carlisle Rensberger, treasurer; and Josephine Bonnett and Donald Tiegler, sergeants-at-arms. These officers have served the class faithfully in their various capacities and have earnestly endeavored to promote class activities. Several parties were held during the year in the school cafeteria and all of them were big successes. They were sponsored by Mi s Theek and Mr. Covalt, the class advisers, and were featured by interesting games and excellent eats ' . At the time this is written, the juniors have appointed committees to plan foi the Junior Carnival, which is to be held on April 16. The juniors are looking forward to a big year next year when they will become seniors, and step into the shoes of the Class of ' 26. — Hugh Shanahan.

At our first meeting Miss Wahl and Mr. Robert Weaver were chosen as our class advisers. Then the following officers were elected to represent our class: president, Herbert Rieth ; vice-president, Dale Peffley ; secretary, William Bradford; treasurer, Charles Noble ; and sergeants-at-arms, Olen Hart and Donald Gill. We found, to our grief, that there were such things as L ' s and pink slips of which the freshmen received their full share. The big event of our first year came in April when we had that never-to-be-for- gotten party. We shall always remember the four colleges, sending their renowned delegates to the races.. Alice Gerig was chosen freshman representative of the Girls ' League; in May, 1925, Christine Rlosser was chosen to be the sophomore representative. Anna Ams- baugh and Janet Riley represented us on the Crimson staff in our freshman year, and this year Janet Riley and Alice Gerig were the sophomore reporters. When we entered the second year we chose Mr. Schenck as class adviser to take the place of Mr. Weaver. We had an interesting election of officers. The returns were: president. Tu ' ian Guilliom; vice-president, Dale Peffley; secretary, Janet Riley; treasurer, William Bradford; and sergeants-at-arms, Mary Getz and Donald Gil 1 . We were represented on the varsity teams by Alvin Wartsler, Don Gill, and Dale Peffley, who played so well that the class is very proud to own them. Dale Peffley, Elvin Douma, Bob Cripe, Loren Murphy, Franklin Thomas, James Donovan, Burdette Firestone, Merle Ptffley, Harold Pletcher, Gerald Stock- ham, Clarence Ganger, Everett Penrose and Robert Murchie earned numerals by playing class football. Those on the class basketball team were: Burdette Firestone, Julian Guilliom, Elvin Douma, Marian Diepenbos and Bob Rule. The girls ' basketball team consisted of: Betty Mock, Kathryn Dierdorff, Chris- tine Blosser, Alice Gerig, Mary Getz, Ethel Lehman, Winifred Chapman, Wilhel- mina Nymeyer and Janet Riley.

C. A., standing for Clean Speech , Clean Athletics , and Clean Scholarship. The membership now consists of about forty members. Mr. Walter, principal of the high school, and Mr. Schenck are sponsors. The local organization was formed two years ago, and has been growing ever since, until it now has a larger membership than most schools. The club takes part in nearly all the activities of the school, helping out where it can, by selling tickets and doing numerous things that are attached to all the events. On March 28, the club acted as host to a large number of clubs that came here to a conference. This was a la:p;e event, as many outstanding men who are engaged in this work attended and gave talks. For the Sectional Basketball Tourrey a program, which gave a short writeup concerning each team and the schedule of the season games, was published by the Hi-Y.

The classes of books are quite evenlydivided and are gradually being supplemented with new volumes. One hundred and n.nety books were added during the first semester. As yet there are no books of fiction. The average attendance of readers is thirty during each of the five periods the library is open. In October, the Library Club was organized under the supervision of Miss Thorn- ton- The officers are: president, Robert Weaver; vice-president, Dale Letherman; secretary, Louise Yoder; and treasurer, Genevieve Jackson. The purpose of the or- ganization is to create a greater interest in, and a knowledge of the library and its use. The meetings of the club, which are held every third Wednesday night, are de- voted to business and social activities. At some of the meetings, the library is turned into a work shop where the members aid in doing the mechanical work of a library, such as preparing books for circulation, filing cards, papers and magazines, and typing book cards. This occupation is of practical value to each member and a great assist- ance to the librarian. The members are also given opportunity during school hours to conduct the regular library routine work — including charging and shelving books, counting at- tendance, filing cards, and making various records- THE CKIMSON 53 SENIOR HISTORY SOCIETY Top Row — Miller, Pippenger, Hershfield, D.

Yontz, The Agricultural Society was organized January 15, 1924, for the purpose of stimulating the interest in rural life and its problems, and to develop agricultural sub- jects not necessarily brought out in regular class-room work. Another motive of the society is to further the qualities of leadership, thus teaching the student to lead a group of people in club activities or present a program through his own initiative and research. This also tends to bring out talent which heretofore had been un- recognized. At each meeting, talks are given by different agricultural specialists; such as, those who experiment with corn and potatoes. During the year, the society gave several exhibits, which were in the nature of corn and egg shows. These were most educational both to the boys and the parents, who are rapidly becoming more interested in the scientific side of agriculture. To quicken this interest, a Father and Son Banquet was held in the spring, which proved most successful. THE CRIMSON 56 DEBATING Standing — Shanahan, Reasoner, Alwine, Stubbs, Bender, Swihart, Tully. Seated — Roo.se, Theek, Richardson, Adams. An organization composed of all those interested in oratory and discussion, was formed at the beginning of the second semester. From this organization, the members of the debating squads were chosen by the two coaches, Miss Theek and Mr. Stubbs. The member? of the affirmative team were: Mariam Richardson, captain, Melviiie Alwine, Carlton Reasoner, and Mary Louise Roose, alternate. The negative teEir. iva composed ot : John Stump, captain, John Bendei, Robert Tully, and Mary Emma Adams, alternate. This year, the teams debated on the subject, The County Unit Plan of Rural School Administration (Constitutionality Wavered). Only one interscholastic debate was held though three others had been arranged. These had to be cancelled due to conflicts in dates. On March 17, the affirmative team traveled to Warsaw and were defeated by a score of 2-1. The following Mon- day, the negative lost to Warsaw by the same score. Xo hard feelings were harbored, for after the debate, both teams were entertained and emnity was forgotten. On March 20, a local contest was held to determine the Goshen representative in the County Discussion League. The winner, Mariam Richardson, participated in this county contest and took second place. The high school was also represented in another interscholastic meet, the Inter- national Oratorical Contest. This contest was sponsored by the Indianapolis News and was very much worthwhile as it dealt with an important subject — The Con- stitution. The local winner, Mary Emma Adams, took the county, having as her topic — America ' s Contribution to Constitutional Government. THE CRIMSON 57 THE STUDENT COUNCIL Top Row — Riggle, Kendall, Gingrich, Bender, Elliot, Shanahan. Second Row — Wartzler, Catherine Blosser, Stonex, Yoder. First Row — Pease, Christine Blosser, Weaver, Adams, Rieth. The Student Council is a comparatively new organization in Goshen High School, this being only its second year, and its first really active year. The organization was at first composed of five members — the five students in high school having the greatest number of honor points. This year the council was enlaiged to fifteen members — six seniors, four juniors, three sophomores, and two freshmen — in order to secure to a greater degree the student opinion of the various classes. This enlarged council will always have the five honor point members and ten members elected by the nucleus of the council. The council has this year taken charge of the general assemblies. Some very good programs have been planned and conducted by the members. They have also had charge of the unexcused absences from these assemblies. Probably the biggest thing that the council has done is the student monitor system. By the plan worked out ten — five from each of two consecutive classes — are stationed in the halls. Every week five representatives from the class next in order replaces the five of the first class ahead. By this rotating plan each monitor serves two weeks and at no time is there all new material on duty. These students have the right to speak to corridor offenders. This was necessary in only a few instances, since the honor system, which was used entirely, has been successful. The council hopes to be able to carry the honor system still further by having student government in so-called Concentration Study Halls. They have also rearranged the honor point system and the extra curricular constitution. THE CEIMSON 58 The Staff THE staff of the Crimson is divided into two departments, the business and editorial: The business group has charge of finance; the editorial, of the content of the book. The business department solicits, writes and collects the advertise- ments ; launches the subscription campaigns ; and sees that all pictures are taken. The editor, assisted by the associates must direct the work of the entire staff, having charge of the make-up and reading all copy. L nder her are the various depart- ments, each head doing the work in his special field- The humor editor selects wise cracks that are heard around the building, and puts them in a readable form. The music department writes all features concerning musical activities. The organization department writes the articles about the clubs of the school. In many cases, this department must co-operate with the business group. One of the most important positions on the staff is that of the literary editor, who with the aid of several assistants, must edit all of the literary articles. The athletic depart- ment is another important cog in the machine, as this activity is a popular phase of high school life. The art department does all of the drawing of title pages, mounting of snaps, and making of panels. This year the art editors decided upon chivalry as a medium through which to express the spirit of the school. The Title page features the herald announcing the Crimson of 1926, and bids the reader enter into the spirit of the book. Classes presents the idea of the young knight just leaving the castle walls, going out to prove himself. The knight represents the seniors; the three youths are the knights of tomorrow, wishing him success — the juniors, the sophomores, and the fresh- men, respectively. Organizations pictures a group of organized knights as they patrol their respec- tive beats, through hill and dale, searching for outlaws, and enforcing law and order. Athletics represents the spirit of combat. The lance, instead of piercing the body of the unhorsed knight, has him clinging to it, which typifies the spirit of our school athletics ; that is, not to overcome by injury, but to overcome through sheer supremacy. Literary is, perhaps, the most interesting of all. It illustrates the adage, The pen is mightier than the sword. The spirit of literature in the background is directing the knight down from the Hill of Fame to his castle where he must live on an equal footing with other men, since literature has captured the interest of the people in the plan of knighthood. Depression and defeat are shown in the drooping figures of the knight and horse. The knight trudges on, haunted by the ghosts seen in the background. Music presents the wandering minstrel, making his way up the winding road to the castle where he will entertain the lords, ladies and others for a while, and then pass on to other castles. Humor represents the jester on the terrace of the castle bidding all to enter the Castle of Jokes and enjoy the humor of G. H. S.

Brinklow, has been sailing along this year in shipshape manner. What a glorious and hilarious feeling is aroused when the band in Crimson and White uniforms marches with military formation on Foreman Field at an exciting football game. This active organization, which has played for practically all football and basketball games at Goshen, deserves much praise. The orchestra is now beginning to reap the harvest of the violin classes which star ted in the grades several years ago. During the first year spent in the new high school building, there were just three violins for this organization; there are now almost four times as many. Several students have this year begun studying the ' cello. The season of ig26- ' 27 should be a most successful one for the orchestra, with its added violins from Junior High, its ' cellos, and a flute, an instrument which has not been heard in this organization for a number of years. About sixty girls compose the Girls ' Glee Club, which has stronger altos and second sopranos than the club of last year. The Boys ' Glee is active this year although slightly handicapped because of the lack of high tenors. They gave a short concert at the Alderman Hotel where they were entertained at luncheon by the Rotary Club. The chorus of these two clubs proved most effective at the annual musical which was given by the music department in co-operation with the Dramatic Club. Goshen High gave Laporte a close run for the district championship in the music memory contest which was held at Goshen on March 23. The Crimson and White team, composed of Pauline Smoker, Margaret Hawk, and Arline Llery, with Mary Emma Adams, and Vernon Sharpe as substitutes, had a score of one hundred thirty- seven and two-thirds (out of a possible 140), while Laporte, by a score of one hun- dred thirty-eight and two-thirds, took the honor of representing Laporte High at Indianapolis. Goshen ' s team gained the right to represent Elkhart county in the district meet when they met the other teams of the county on March 19, and won with a score of one hundred thirty-five and one-third. The members of the team received G ' s for their record in this activity. The contestants had to be familiar with forty records out of whi ch any twenty would be chosen. The records were played for five seconds — at any place — with fifty-five seconds to write the name of the piece, composer, and his nationality. The aim ot the contest is that students may have a ' wider knowledge of musical composi- tions, and receive training in appreciation. Some records could only be recognized by the instrumentation, others by the melody, and some by the accompanying in- strument. This year it was not possible to give an operetta because of sickness and the many activities; but if plans, which are now made, work out, a musical production will be given in the beginning of the next school year. The music department owes much to Mr. Brinklow, whose knowledge and energy in putting things across has made many concerts successful. Mr. Brinklow is a graduate of the De Pauw Conservatory of Music and had experience during the war as director of the Indiana Rainbow Band. It was during his first year in Goshen, that the violin classes were organized. Mr. Brinklow also began the music memory work in high school and grades. Goshen High is indeed fortunate in having Arlene LTlerv. ' 26.

We appr eciate your presence here as our guests, the tangible evidence that you are interested in us. This day brings to us both joy and sorrow, but at this time we shall consider only the brighter part. We know that as we leave Goshen High School, we shall face new duties and responsibilities. The guidance we have received here will be invaluable in this new life on the threshold of which we now stand. Whatever heights of success we may attain will be due much to the training received here. We are about to join you in new activities. Our achievements in these new undertakings will depend to a great extent upon the way you receive us. You have always given us your most loyal support and co-operation, and we are assured you will continue to do so. With the heartiest of greetings, we bid you welcome to these exercises today. — Catherine Blosser, ' 26 OUR FOUR YEARS TOGETHER President ' s Address THE Class of ' 26, during these four years together, has had four objectives — initiative, scholarship, co-operation, and service. These, we have attempted to develop, as individuals and as a group, by means of the opportunities that have been ours in the years we have been at Goshen High. Initiative means the ability for independent action — the ability to do ourselves. As early as our sophomore year we had tried to develop self-control by having self- government in an assembly. In all such projects, for example, the present monitor system, we have given our full support. Scholarship, of course, is excelling in studies. In Goshen High, a place is attained on the honor roll if a student ' ? marks for the four subject? are two E ' s and two G ' s- There has been a great deal of wholesome competition among our members for first honor, and there have been few times when one pupil held it two semesters in suc- cession. Every semester the leader of our class had also lead the school. Besides the Green and Gold class has had its share of other students on the honor roll. Co-operation is working together to produce the same result. It often means giving over individual wishes for those that render the greatest good to the greatest number. On this occasion I want to congratulate the members of this class for the co-operation they have given in all the activities the class has undertaken. I can truly say that no student of this class has ever refused to work, and work hard when he or she has been assigned a duty. THE CRIMSON 68 Service, as we all understand, is an aid or kindness rendered to another. For a class to do its best, service must be the most important of its aims ; the others exist only as they contribute to service. Aid to one and other in every way possible, in all things that have come up, has helped to make our class as large as it is. In all of these worthwhile objectives, we have truly made only a commencement. What advancement we have accomplished in any of them is due to you — to the members of the junior, sophomore and freshmen classes, who have always supported our activities ; to the faculty, who have instructed us in the class rooms ; and to the townspeople, who have provided this high school for us. — William Fiedeke, ' 26. , OLD DAYS, OLD WAYS PASS BY (A History) lime — Afternoon of May 27, 1926. Part I. Place — Goshen High School. Characters — Two People from Yesterday. A Girl. A Boy. FAR back in the year 1922 about one hundred ninety of us entered G. H. S. As these four years have passed quickly, it is not difficult to recall our freshman activities. Due to the crowded conditions in the old building, we were unable to organize until the beginning of the second semesetr, in February, 1924. However up until that time, we had given our loyal support to all school projects. Our first meeting was held on January 26. The officers elected were: Catherine Blosser, president ; Esther Yoder, vice-president ; Joe Pippenger, secretary ; Edward Riggle, treasurer. The class selected Miss Deniston and Miss Berlin as advisers. In order that we might learn to work together, we thought it advisable to divide the class into sections. There were five groups each having nearly forty members. Three or four pupils out of each group were chosen as a committee. On March 9, these committees met with the faculty advisers to discuss plans. Programs for the group meetings were made out. Practically the same things were carried out in the different sections; games were played; class yells were practiced; and the aims of the class were discussed. In order that all students might get acquainted, we planned to have the committees progress from one section to another, and to appoint new leaders. As freshmen we ranked high in athletics, much ability being shown by Vernon Chapman, Dale Leatherman, Joe Pippenger, and William Fiedeke. In the Inter- class Basketball Tourney, held on March 12, the freshmen made a remarkable showing by defeating the juniors. In the final game we played the sophomores, the winners over the seniors. Although we put up a strong fight, the opposing team won. THE CRIMSON 69 Part II. As we came into our sophomore year, we had progressed another step towards our goal ; for we had not only completed one year of our required work, but we had also moved into our new school building. By this time we had firmly established our reputation as a strong and co-operative class. As sophomores, we met on Friday, November 9, 1924, and elected the following officers : Richard Elliott, president ; Mary Emma Adams, vice-president ; Martha Hatch, secretary ; Margaret Hawk, treasurer ; and, Genevieve Jackson and William Fiedeke, sergeants-at-arms. Miss Deniston and Mr. Grater were chosen for class advisers. In our second year we again scored in athletics and also had an envious record in scholarship. It was during this year that our class first introduced a form of self-government by taking charge of our assembly hall one period. We were unus- ually successful in this undertaking. It was during the second semester of our sophomore year that the custom of giving sweaters and chevrons to students ranking highest in scholarship was installed in G. H. S-. A member of the Class of ' 26, Esther Yoder, ranked highest in schoo ' . Our class stepped up another notch in school activities when Louise Yoder was elected to be one of the yell leaders of the school, a position which she has efficiently filled for three years. Part III. At the end of our sophomore year we were two laps on the journey and eager for the final dash. As we entered our junior year, we had attained the distinction of being called upperclassmen, and we tried to live up to this name. During this year we had two of our classmates on the Student Council, a new organization which was formed that year. As juniors the first thing in order was class rings and pins. A week after this and following closely upon the heels of the senior meeting, a junior class meeting was held. Candidates for offices were nominated by the students, and the ensuing week these were elected: William Fiedeke, president; Richard Elliott, vice-president; Mary Emma Adams, secretary ; Arline Ulery, treasurer ; Adeline Widner and Thurston Ulrich, sergeants-at-arms. The first really big party our class ever had was on October 21, 1925 when a gang of our classmates raided Blosser ' s Park on a hard times party. Numerous hot dogs and marshmallows were consumed. Skating was the feature of the evening. Miss Deniston and Mr. Grater were chaperons. Extensive arrangements were made for the Junior Carnival, but due to the closing of school on account of the epidemic, all of our plans were in vain; the carnival was postponed until this year. Ten junior boys took active p? t in fcothall and the rest of the class helped the fellows by having charge of concessions, and holding up our end of the o ' d rooting; squad. Our class was also well represented in basketball, track, and baseball. The debating squad boasted of two juniors ; Joe Pippenger and Richard Elliott. THE CRIMSON 70 According to G.H.S. customs the juniors decorated for all the senior activities including the prom, which was the first important social function in which we were allowed to participate. Both the banquet and the prom were a huge success. Thus we ended our third year, and looked forward to the promises of the fourth. Again members of our class ranked highest in the school in scholarship ; the first semester, Esther Yoder and Catherine Blosser tied for the honor ; the second semester, Catherine Blosser came out ahead. Part IV. Seniors! We had at last reached the final step of our high school career. During the fi - st week of school we elected our class officers, who were: president, William Fiedeke ; vice-president, Joe Pippenger : treasurer, Esther Yoder ; secretarv, Lee Etta McBride; sergeants-at-arms, Adeline Widner and Howard Swihart. Mr. Sprunger was chosen as our other class sponsor to work with Miss Deniston, who has been our adviser for four years. Our delayed junior carnival was given November 13, 1926 with all the thrills of a real carnival, including fortune tellers, strong men, dancers, wild animals, and photographers. In this feat we accomplished our two motives: peppy entertainment and an increased bankroll. Richard El iott was captain of the ' 26 football team, which contained nine other seniors who took active part in this sport. These were: Melvin Alwine, Bud Leather- man, Bob Beaver, Butch Chapman, Harvey Pierce, Bob Case, Gerald Mast, Thurston Ulerich, and Loyd Carpenter. In basketball Butch Chapman, Melwin Alwine, Bill Fiedeke, Joe Pippenger, and Howard Swihart were piloted by captain Dale Leatherman, a first class forward, who proved that he had the fighting spirit of the Class of ' 26. During this year, the seniors were represented in various activities. Louise Yoder, who has so ably lead the yelling, was assisted by Bobby Bigler. In the novice typewriting contest at Mishawaka, Edwina Juday was given first place and Virginia Overdeer, second ; in the shorthand contest, Lee Etta McBride placed third. Those who took an active part in debating this year were : Mary Emma Adams, Mariam Richardson, John Stump, and John Bender. In the County Discussion League Mary Emma Adams won. In the Purdue essay contest Pauline Smoker received one of the medals. The music memory team consisted of Vernon Sharpe, Arline Ulery, Margaret Hawk, Pauline Smoker and Mary E. Adams. In scholarship the first semester, Mariam Richardson tied for first place in school with three girls, one from each of the other classes. After the first semester the weeks began to fly and all senior duties were given first place in our minds. The class play, the Crimson, and our senior party which were all successful, bring us up to the present time. We have accomplished the goal which we so eagerly looked forward to four years ago. True, old days, old ways pass by but our love stays for Goshen High. — Kathleen Shoup, ' 26. — Richard Elliott, ' 26. THE CRIMSON 71 THE ANVIL CHORUS {The Grumble) GRUMBLING is one of the greatest benefits to all mankind; if it were not for the grumbler and the criticizer, man would not know of his faults and errors. So the Class of 1926 has appointed me as the official grumbler, to find and express the faults and errors of the class and our most abominable school and faculty. The following are several statements that we would like to give to the public as self-evident: That a normal student is only a human being with an appetite for food, sleep and fun ; That these appetities given to him by the Creataor should not be crushed out in his youth ; That this student has the right to eat peanuts, suck lollypops, shoot paper wads or play any joke on his fellow student during school hours, without being interfered with by one of the old grouches around the school ; That tryanny is tryanny the world over whether inforced by one of the sovereigns of Europe or by a principal from Wabash College ; That this cruel slow method of torture called school discipline is all for the pur- pose of giving us something that is known very little about called Education. Is there any one who can give a good reason why John Bender should have been born into this world ? If so let him be hanged at sun rise. KNOCK ONE: To my great notion our social activities for our four years here have been a total failure. We would no more than suggest a party or a mixer when one of the old cranks would put a wet blanket over it. Although, it is my business to grum- ble,! will say that the Class of 1926 was the first to have a class dance since the history of the building and then some. KNOCK TWO: The elgibility rules of the old dump also got my goat. Nearly all of our great athletes were not allowed to participate in any of the games, as they were said to be ineligible. If you were liked by the coach or the principal, you never were ineligible. But if either disliked you, you were always ineligible. KNOCK THREE: In their very last effort to check the rising spirit of old 1926 they started the infamous system of deportment — the issuing of Red U ' s There are now stationed in the halls about a dozen lynx-eyed monitors who are on the constant alert to note the least evidence of enjoyment, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, for which we are handed Red U ' s. A normal youth refreshed by the short walk to school is seen cutting across the lawn ; he is given a U. He then enters the building and yells a Good morning or Hello, there you big bum at his fellow student; for this he is demerited. He hangs his coat and hat in his locker; just then his Sweet Mama comes along, and of course, he has to walk down the hall with her. Here he is given a balling out by one of our chicken-hearted tutors, for promena ding the halls. Broken in spirit he falls exhausted into his seat and is demerited for breaking his seat, demerited for borrowing a pencil, and demerited for asking a fellow prisoner an assignment- At last he settles to work and is handed a U for snoring. What were we given our snores for, if they were not to snore with. He then wearily wends his THE CRIMSON 72 wa homeward ; on reaching the bottom of the steps he falls and nearly cracks his head open ; for this he is given a final demerit for attempting to destroy the sidewalk, which is classed as school property. So, therefore, I, the Official Grumbler, with the last protest against the abuses, injustice, and tryanny of the last four years, hereby declare that the Class of ' 26 is paroled by the G. H. S. Parole Board. — Dan Stiver, ' 26 A BIT OF ADVICE ( To the Juniors) Time — Afternoon of May 27, 1926 Place — A path on the way to school- Characters, Junior — representing the Class of ' 27 Senior — representing the Class of ' 26 Scene: A path way on the school campus with a bench near by. Enter Junior and Senior. Junior is dressed in class colors; Senior in cap and gown. Senior. Class of ' 27, I ' m so glad I met you on Life ' s pathway this morning. You know, old friend, we ' ve been pals together for three years now; but tomor- row I must leave these old haunts and familiar faces. (Stretches arm). To- morrow, old pal, I go away forever. Then you will take my place. On your head will be laid more responsibility than ever before in your high school life. It just came across my mind, as I was walking along, that you m ight be glad to get a bit of advice to help you along in your last year. Junior. I ' m sure I will be glad to get all the advice I can, old scout. Senior. That ' s what I thought. It seems to me that one of the most important things is to be ditcieet- Class of ' 27, do you realize that all of other classes in the school will look to you as an example — as an ideal ; that your speech and actions will determine, to a great degree, the speech and actions of the rest of the school? If you do or say something indiscreet, then these will feel that they also may be indiscreet. Old friend, I know you have the good of your school and mine at heart. Be careful about the little things that may easily injure the good standing of G. H. S. Junior. Class of ' 26, what are some of the things I should be careful about? Senior. I ' ve thought of a few as I ' ve been walking along. They are not new at all — just the same ones you ' ve heard dozens of times; but it ' s strange how we begin to consider things seriously just as we are about to leave them, isn ' t it? — One is your conduct in the study hall and in the corridors. I think you understand what this is without explanation — but doing your best, that is often a different matter. And tardiness — you know about that ; walking across the lawn, likewise. Then getting your lessons every day ; that is some- THE CEIMSON 73 thing you should be very careful about. It doesn ' t seem such an important thing to some people, but it helps you and the standing of the school a lot. Junior. I never thought of what you ' ve said in that way before. I believe you ' re right about it, too. Senior, Then this last bit of advice — be enthusiastic. Old friend, you ' ve no idea what enthusiasm will do for you. It will make a success of seeming failures; it will make a success more successful. Enthusiasm is like putting the air in a tire; it makes the wheel lun easier and faster than before. True en- thusiasm, it seems to me, is not simply making a lot of noise but really doing something, accomplishing something, giving your unstinted support to all the school activities.. Junior. Yes, that ' s true. Senior. Support all the teams, athletic and otherwise — with your help, if possible ; if not, then at least with your presence. Back them when the score is against them. And that is not all ; there is the Crimson, the Carnival, the class play — everything merits your enthusiasm- Besides the greater chances for success, it ' s more fun. Don ' t you think I am right about it, Class of ' 27? Junior. I believe you are, in everything you have said. I will certainly do my best to live up to what you told me. Senior. And Class of ' 27, remember that all the world ' s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. May we all play our parts to the best of our ability: (Curtain) . . — John Bender ' 26 BILLBOARD ECHOES (The Will) Time: Day after tomorrow — May 28, 1926. Place: Signboards across from G. H. S. Characters : Miss Betty Board Mr. Bill Board Scene: Two signboards, side by side — one is of a man dressed in height of fashion ; the other sign features a girl, attired in the latest 1926 style. The time is late afternoon with shadows just creeping across the fields. Everything is exceedingly quiet, when suddenly the man speaks to the girl in his neighbor signboard. The mouths of the figures open and the following conversation ensues: Girl. Bill Board ! Boy. Betty Board? Girl. Hasn ' t this been the lonliest day? Boy. Oh, now I wouldn ' t feel that way. With me beside you and all of our kind neighbors near us, why, pray teT should you intimate such a thing. (Clear. ' ng throat.) THE CRIMSON 74 Girl. Of course 1 love you, but after all we are just paper, boards, and paint set up here to attract people passing by, and really sometimes I think I ' d give anything if I might change places with one of these students for even a day. I ' m so tired of looking happy, and staying in one position all the time. And now I hear, through student conversations, that they have a vacation Don ' t you suppose its because the Class of ' 26 has passed on? Boy. Oh, Miss Betty, don ' t tell me that! To think that we are to see no more of them! Why no wonder then, Miss Betty, you are so lonely! 1 r.m begin- ning to feel the same way. Girl. There ' s no use crying though, for wouldn ' t people be shocked to see tears streaming down our cheeks- It was such a remarkable class of people (sigh). Their last will is said to be the rrost fruitful legacy ever distributed. Boy. Tell me, has the will been opened yet? Girl. Yes, only yesterday the document was read. Boy. You see, Miss Betty Board, I am very much interested in this class. Could you tell me about some of the special bequests? Girl. Well, let ' s see — I just don ' t remember exactly, but — oh yes, you remember that loud-mouthed Jackson girl. Well, she left her loud speaker to dear, little Retha Davis. Boy. Truly remarkable. Girl. Thurston Eugene Ulrich — you remember him ; he was in the class play. Well, he bequeathed his football ability to anybody who cares for it. Boy. How generous of Thurston ! Girl. Johnnie Bender leaves his oratorical ability, and wide read knowledge to John Fobes. Boy. Who in the world is John Fobes? Girl. Why, he is the nationally known banjo player of the Society Assassinators ' . And Bobbie Bigler ' s mania for winning Charleston dance contests, con- tortions regarding yell leading, and his other numerous talents to Harry Snobarger. Boy Lucky boy! Go ahead. Girl. And Catherine Blosser ' s fastidiousness goes to Stanley Cozzi. Boy. Another favored heir. Girl. Mary Adams, Lucile Becker, Matilda Getz and Mildred Brown leave their places on the honor roll to Joe Reichard, John Cornell, George Merril, Bernard Paine- Boy. Those boys should be delighted beyond comprehension. Girl. Frank Lamberson relinquishes all claims to his famous racoon collared coat, and to his just as well-known bow ties.

And want it be awful without the Class of ' 26 (deep sigh.) — Jane Hascall ' 26 — Louis Hutchinson- ' 26 THE CRIMSON 77 OUR OPPORTUNITY {The Oration) Aim for the highest and the best. , the motto of our class is one that any group should follow — one that every person needs ever before him. To seek the highest things in life is the aim of civilization so that the world may be happier by our en- deavor to have the conditions of man ever bettered. It is in the search for the higher knowledge, for attaining a goal, or equaling an ideal that we improve our lives. Al- most everyone has some ideal that he would like to come up to. To attain the unat- tainable is not an unreasonab ' e desire for it has been proved again and again by a study of the lives of great people that their dreams to do great things often led them to accomplish what no one before them had done — to obtain what every body else said was impossible. Truly great deeds have been done by people who aim for what they regarded the highest and best. Not just ambitions for plenty of money to keep them in a life of ease ; but something that would make every one about them better and happier. Many men and women have risen to positions of great honor because they have had the firm purpose to follow their highest ideals. Alice Freeman Palmer, who became president of Wellesley College, has done more than any other person to build up higher education for girls. After she had retired from teaching, she became a member of an eastern educational board and had a great influence in determining th educational status of many of our schools.. She believed that it is people who count and she carried out this idea all through her career. Her great mot ive power seemed to be her motto that whatever we havo to do we can always do it. A man who is regarded as an immortal now becaues of his great contribution to world ' s literature is Alfred Tennyson, the English poet. The poems written by him were, as all great works are, the results of inspirations which followed in the wake of his high ideals. It is said of him that his life had little of incident, yet in his great utterances he lived more truly and exerted more potent and lasting influences than many a hero who has filled chapters of world history. His high philosophy found expression in his geatest poems. These are only two examples of individuals, who had manifest aims. The great achievements of history and of the present day are only gained through some person ' s high aims. They express the meaning of that ideal spoken by E. E. Hale: To look upward and not down, To look forward and not back, To look out and not in — and To lend a hand. There is as much if not more opportunity for us to achieve great deeds of value to the world about us. There are always people in need of encouragement and aid. Sometimes it is just a small deed that we can do ; other times it is one that affects a great many people. We who graduate from G. H. S. have received an education obtained with less effort than the educations of many persons who have accomplished great works. It depends upon ourselves whether we have received as much of value from it as these did from theirs. High school is supposed to give us more culture and to guide our intellect and we have learned a great deal about how to live better, how to build up right habits of conduct. We have been taught the best things to know. Our teachers have guided our studies so that we may seek the worthwhile. There is m THE CRIMSON m 78 for our good a great institution of learning, this Goshen High School. We do not leave it entirely behind, as the things we have learned go with us wherever we go. Therefore, we should show our gratitude for this opportunity by being of use to the world into which we go. Some look for higher education in colleges and univer- sities, others will educate themselves by direct contact with the world. All consider their education as a preparation for life. How well our lives will be spent depends a great deal on the ideals we have now. Whether we learn from books and the wisdom of professors, or from practical experience, we have great chances for success. As long as we aim for the highest and the best , none of us should lead a useless life. — Mary Emma Adams ' 26 THEY CALL IT FAME {A Prophecy) Time: Early Afternoon of May 27, 1946. Place: Home of an alumna of ' 26 in Goshen, Indiana. Characters : The hostess at whose home the reunion is to be. A girl, secretary to take care of messages received from classmates. A boy, to manipulate the Radiphonecable. A maid, to take care of letters and packages- Scene: A pleasant living room — usual furniture, including a victrola, and the Radi- phonecable. The hostess standing in front of instrumant. Boy paces up and down the room impatiently, takes out watch. Boy. Two-thirty! We should be hearing from some of our classmates by this time. Twenty years age today wc were all together, having just graduated from G. H. S-, and full of hope for our careers. Well, some of us have attained the height, of our ambitions and some of us have not — and some of us have strayed to distant places and are seldom heard of. Hostess: Wasn ' t it a clever idea to have reunion of this sort: — directing our thoughts back to old G. H. S. by sending messages some way or other — by radio, or tele- graph, or telephone, cable, or letter. A regular reunion would have been clearly impossible, for very few of us could have returned to Goshen for the occasion (listens) Ah! I believe I ' ve got something! It ' s coming over the cable. Quick, take it down! (Secretary takes down message. Boy hurries over to instrument. Secretary gives message to him.) Secretary: Here is the message, sir. Boy. Holly Hannibal! Listen to this! Dear Classmates of ' 26: Wish I could be in Goshen today, but it is an impossibility as I must catch a train in 10 minutes for Tabora, Central Africa, where I am to deliver my lecture, Care of the Eyes and Ears. ' Love to all, Hon. Mary Emma Adams. Hostess. Can you imagine our sweet Mary Emma lecturing to a mob of uncivilized African negroes on Care of the Eyes and Ears ? Boy. Of course. Don ' t you remember that she was our Class Orator? I hear that she holds a crowd spellbound — Say, whv not call Virginia Overdeer and have her come into Goshen and help us this afternoon? (Hostess seats herself at telephone section of Radophonecable and rings.) m THE CRIMSON m 79 Hostess. Goodness! I ' ve rung four times and can ' t get an answer. Ah — there she is! Hello, Virginia, the messages from the Class of ' 26 have begun to come in, and we ' d like to have you help us with them — pause — oh, surely, that ' s all right. (Aside) Virginia says her husband Rev. Blank has a wedding this afternoon and she is going to entertain the bride and groom. (Into phone) What?! Really? Esther 1 oder and Frank Lamberson ! Those two at last are united — pause — 1 es, Fiank owns a large aeroplane factory there. I ' m sorry you can ' t come. Its such fun. Goodby. (Secretary is taking messages all this time.) Boy. Bob Beaver told me the other day that he was thinking of running a special out to Millersburg because of the vast crowds that go over to hear the sermons of Virginia ' s husband. Hostess, (to secretary) Will you answer the doorbell? — who can it be? probably some messenger boy. ( Secretary answers the door. Gives a letter to the Boy. Boy begins to open the letter.) Boy. Ha! Lets see what this says. — Hi. Kids! Peg told me to send our message and and I didn ' t know what to say so I resolved to let Peg say it. Am sending a few of her latest records. Fuzzy Reasoner — Peg Hawk and Fuzzy Reasoner! Let ' s play ' em- Isn ' t it great to hear Peg ' s voice again ? Girl. How I ' d love to be famous prima donna like Peg! They say hers is the voice of the age. Rather hard on Fuzzy to be known only as Margaret Hawk ' s Husband. Boy. Oh, I don ' t know. Fuzzy ' s the man in the insurance world. What ' s this? (They play the record that was in package. Then maid brings in envelope.) Hostess. Why — What — Oh! It ' s the graduation announcement of Jim Kesler. That ' s right — he graduated from Purdue this year. Isn ' t he the model happy-go-lucky person ? (Secretary hands several messages to boy) Boy. Guess who! Butch Chapman and Isabelle Schrock! Dear old friends: The little wife and I sure would like to see you, but impossible as I ' m givintj a dinner for the vice-presidents of the meat packers ' association. Good luck — Butch and Isabelle. Hostess. Isn ' t Butch a wizard in the meat packing business? Swift ' s and Armor ' s was nothing compared to his business. Say, call up Joe Pippenger — he might be able to come into down. I don ' t know the number ; Look up the Scrange farm, south- east of Goshen. (Boy Look up number and rings.) Boy. Hello, Joe? What about coming in town today and helping with our reunion? — pause — No? — well that ' s too bad. How ' s your wheat coming on? — pause — That ' s fine. Well — sorry you can ' t come — Goodbye. He says that he has to work in the fields today as his hired man left. Hostess. You know, I always thought Joe was going to be a dentist. Boy. Well — many a girl has changed a man ' s ambition; but he still does a little dentistry on the side. Hostes-. Here are two messages that just came in. This is from New york — from our famous chorus girls — Jane L T Iery, Clarissa Harper, Eloise Reith and Evelyn Wogomcn. Hi. Gang! Rehearsal in two minutes — must hurry — on time to write — rendirg clippings — good luck — Janie, Chris, Eloise, Evelyn. THE CRIMSON so Boy- Let ' s have the clippings — (reads) Much of the success of the Frolic this year is undoubtedly due to the dancing of the trio — Chris Harper, Eloise Reith, Eve Wogomon — although Janie L Iery still reigns supreme in the chorus girls ' world. Hostess. This next is from Paris — the most exclusive dressmaking establishment in Paris — and all the clothes designed by Katie Shoup. Dear Classmates: — Very busy getting out the summer wardrobe of the society leaders — Jane Hascall and Louise oder. Katie Shoup is designing the costumes in the next moving picture production of the great emotional actors, Edwina Judy and Bill Fiedeke, inci- dentally our classmates. Good luck to all — Maxine Trimmer, Elillian Walters, Mary Himebaugh, Reba Kirkdorfer, Jane Leek, Helen Sternberg. (All this time the secretary has been taking down messages which she presents to the boy.) Boy. Here — the first is a note from George Bosse. He says — Have spent most of the time since we graduated, 20 years ago, in writing a book on the different pronounciations that have been given to my name. Am sending you each an autographed copy. ' ' Ha! Ha! We used to get lots of laughs because of that name of his, didn ' t we? This next is Gerald Mast, the famous painter, and Lloyd Carpenter, the cartoonist. They were in a terrible, hurry, and all I can make out of this is that they are sailing, sometime, from somewhere, for Europe. Gerald su-ely has lived up to the promises his art in our Crimson gave — and unusual talent! ( He drops on table two or three messages — Hostess picks them up) Hostess. Listen to this: Dear old pals: Wish we could fee a football game on Foreman Field with Dick as captain again — it ' s been ages since I saw an athletic contest — we are summering in the Adirondack, so if up that way drop in and see my husband and me.

It ' s a special delivery. Hostess. A special ? I wonder who. Can bareh read it, but that ' s Harvey Pierce ' s writing — I can remember it very clearly — but I just can ' t read it. He can ' t be expected to write well, though. Did you ever see an athlete that did write a legible hand ? Boy. Athlete? Hostess. Whv, yes, he ' s only the world ' s most famous base-ball player.

Despite the tact that they lost four games, the defeats were handed them by the four outstanding teams in the state — South Bend, Emerson of Gary, Elkhart, and Wabash. The Crimson scored victor ies over Kendallville, Howe Military Academy and Huntington. The games with Warsaw and Dowagiac resulted in a tie. With the hardest schedule ever arranged for the local school staring him in the face, and only several veterans left from last year ' s eleven, Coach Gerald Phillips had a difficult task on his hands. As he was a new coach, much was expected of him, too much in fact, but his work in moulding a promising, young bunch of gridders out of practically nothing was remarkable. When Coach Phillips took over the reins, last September, nearly sixty men answered the call for football candidates. This was by far the largest number that ever tried out for the pigskin sport, and nearly three elevens remained on the squad until the end of the season. About twenty men attended the football camp, at Camp Crosley, for two weeks before the start of the school term. The material that Coach Phillips had was plentiful and willing to work, but it was green. Football players do not spring out of the ether, and they are not made over night. Only time and experience will produce second Granges, Gipps, McCartys and Eckersalls. Coach Phillips had a bunch of diamonds in the rough, but it will take time to produce eleven polished gems like the ones that carried the Crimson colors to a state championship in 1923. Watch us in 1926 is the cry of the local mentor. Until the Elkhart game the team played very indifferent and inconsistent football. It showed flashes of brilliancy at times, but the flashes were usually short-lived, and faded out like so many morning glories. The Crimson chaps turned in their best exhibition against Elkhart, and continued to play good football in their remaining games with Howe and Huntington. THE CEIMSON Although but fourteen men were awarded letters for football many more than this number saw action in one game or another. It was the policy of Coach Phillips to give every man on the squad a chance to display his ability, and only very few men were sure of their positions from one game till the next. The players who received letters were: Captain Elliott, Shanahan, Gill, Beaver, Pierce, Cozzi, Tulley, Farrell, Chapman, Longnecker, Leatherman, Case, Warstler, and Alwine. At the annual football banquet given by the Hi-Y club, Tuesday, December 2, PI ugh Shanahan, a junior, was eelcted captain of the 1926 eleven. THE GAMES First Game Ends in Tie The first game of the year with Dowagiac, Michigan, resulted in a 6 to 6 tie. The contest was played on Foreman Field, and a crowd of 2,500 fans, the largest of the season was present. Both teams lacked the snap and precision of polished elevens, but they proved to be very evenly matched. Defeat Kendallville Easily L nveiling a powerful offensive and a strong defense, the Crimson gridders won their first victory from Kendallville, 20 to 6. Goshen showed much improvement in this game, and the Noble County lads were completely outclassed. Due to the inability of the Kendallville officials to secure a gridiron, the game was played on Foreman field. Warsaw Holds Goshen to Tie With five regulars out of the lineup, the Goshen team was held to a 6 to 6 tie by a fighting bunch of Warsaw gridders. Despite the score, Goshen had much the better of the argument, and only the dogged fighting of the Warsawans kept them from further scoring. The game was played on Foreman field. Taste First Defeat Goshen tasted its first defeat of the season at the hands of the powerful Wabash eleven. The downstaters proved to be far superior to the locals, and the final score was 30 to O. Injuries again played havoc with the Crimson, and not once during the entire game did they threaten the Tomcats ' goal line. It was the first game on a foreign field for Captain Elliott and his cohorts. South Bend Defeats Goshen Tearing a weak Goshen defense to shreds, the South Bend High School foot- ballers chalked up a victory over the locals, 32 to O. Although the Crimson outplayed their opponents in the first quarter, they weakened considerably in the latter part of the game. The Benders used an erstwhile Notre Dame shift that completely fooled the Goshen defense. The game was played on Foreman field. Emerson Swamps Goshen Emerson High School, of Gary, gave the Phillips-men their worst drubbing of the season. In four hectic quarters of football the Emersonians scored 59 points, and incidentally, held the Goshen team scoreless. Gary was by far the best team on the Goshen schedule. The game was played at Gary. Elkhart Cops Annual Battle Playing under unimaginable conditions, the Elkhart High School football team THE CEIMSON 90 defeated the locals, 12 to o, in their annual scrap, on Foreman field. The contest will go down in history as one of the most spectacular in which the ancient rivals have ever participated, and the fans were given thrill upon thrill. Due to the condi- tion of the field — for the gridiron was a veritable lake — both teams played a waiting game, and there was little to choose between the two. Win Final Home Game Goshen won its final home game of the season from Huntington, 31 to o. The downstaters were completely outclassed by the Crimson players. Goshen Defeats Howe The Crimson-clads finished their 1925 schedule in a blaze of glory with a clean- cut victory, 19 to 2, over the Howe Military Academy eleven. Although the score is a good indication of the strength of the teams, the cadets put up a terrific battle. Long forward passes and fierce line plunging accounted for Goshen ' s scores. INTERCLASS FOOTBALL For the first time in the history of Goshen High School a football league was organized this year. All boys who were not on the varsity and who were eligible could take part. 1 he draw came a? fol ' ows the Juniors vs. Sophomores; Seniors vs- Freshmen win- ners, of Junior-Sophomore game vs winners of Senior-Freshman game. In what was a nip and tuck battle the Juniors defeated the Sophomores 6-0 in the first game of the league. The Seniors were picked as winners over the Freshman. But to the great surprise of all the Freshman held the Seniors to a O-O score the first game. The game was played over. The Seniors practiced for this contest and took the Freshman over in a thriller, The big game was between the Jun.ors and Seniors- 1 he Juniors were p. eked as winners, but they could not claim that title until they had defeated the Seniors in a hard-fought game which ended 6-0 in favor of the Juniors. The Juniors were awarded a monogram and a silver trophy. The league should accomplish much in the line of making players in the next ten years. It has this year uncovered some excellent material. THE G CLUB Shortly after the close of the football season, a G club was formed by Coach Gerald Phillips. Only men winning a G in one of the four major sports are eligible to become members of the organization. Following is a list of G holders now in school: Pippenger. Warstler, Gill, Fred and Howard Swihait. Case, Chapman, Beaver, Alwine, Tully, Fiedeke, Paine, Lether- man. Pierce, Cozzi, Elliott, Shanahan, Farrell, Tiegler, Bigler and Pratt. THE CKIMSON 01 THE CRIMSON 92 BASKETBALL Goshen experienced an up and down — mostly down — season on the hardwood in 1925-26. The Crimson lost fifteen and won five games, out of their twenty-game schedule. A difficult schedule can be given as the main cause for this inconsistent showing. Twenty of the best teams in Northern Indiana were pitted against Cap- tain Letherman and his colleagues. And in seven cases, two games were played on successive nights. The Crimson played great basketball at the outset of the campaign ; victories over New Paris and Warsaw stamped them as one of the strongest quintets in this locality. Their playing reached its peak when Elkhart was defeated, 35-22, and the touted Froebel Blue Devils were held to a 38-35 advantage. In mid-season, the locals encountered a slump; and before they were able to shake off the shackles, nine straight contests had been recorded on the wrong side of the ledger. Included in these were the defeats received from Elkhart and South Bend. In the five of the nine games lost, a margin of less than ten points decided the winner. At the close of the season, the following players were on the first squad: Capt. Letherman, Chapman, Fred Swihart, Williams, Howard Swihart, Gill, Pippenger, Warstler, Peffley and Fiedeke. The first eight named received letters. Letherman, Chapman, Howard Swihart, Fiedeke and Pippenger are seniors.

Out of fourteen games played, but two were won, and a dozen lost. However, practically every one of the defeats were by a margin of less than five points. Besides playing nearly all the second teams in this vicinity, the locals also tackled the Jamestown and the Millersburg varsity quintets, and a team representing the a urrni. The outstanding game of the campaign was played at Millersburg, and required three overtime periods to decide the outcome, the Burgers finally winning out 49-47. In the second team tourney, at Wakarsua, early in February, Goshen was eliminated in the first round by Nappanee. At the close of the season, the second squad was composed of the following players: Capt- Alwine, Gingerich, Tulley, Snobarger, Weise, Cornell, Fobes, Kennel, Blough, Suntheimer. THIRD SQUAD In addition to the fir st and second squads, another, or third group, under the direction of Fred Ulery, practiced and played regularly. Nearly twenty-five boys were engaged in this activity, which furnished valuable training to aspiring varsity candidates. The team, which represented this group, was captained by Hugh Shana- han. Among the performers were: Firestone, Yoder, Hofthein, Bowman, Diepen- boos, Garber and Koerner. THE SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT For the second time in its history, Goshen High School was, this year, chosen as one of the sixtv-four sectional centers. Nine Elkhart county teams — Elkhart, James- town, New Paris, Nappanee, Bristol, Middlebury, Millersburg, Wakarusa and Goshen — were entered in this section. Nanpanee, with one of the greatest teams ever to represent that institution on the hardwood, defeated the Crimson, 30-11, in the final game of the meet. THE CRIMSON 94 The tourney was featured by exceptiona lly close games throughout, and Nap- panee, Goshen, Elkhart, New Paris or Bristol were conceded an equal chance to capture the title. However, Nappanee ' s victory over the locals in the final contest caused little surprise, as the Naps had twice during the season defeated the Crim- son five. The outstanding game of the tourney was the Elkhart-Goshen contest in the semi-final heat. Although the Elkhartans led at half-time, 17-11, the Crimson came back strong in the second period, and a long, sensational field goal by Chapman in the last minute of play gave the Goshen entry a 24-22 decision. The tourney was a success in every way, and a large crowd attended all of the sessions. Due to the fact that all the county teams participated in this meet, no county tournament was held. The tourney scores follow : Friday Night Nappanee, 44; Millersburg, 11. Goshen, 35 ; Middlebury, 22. Saturday Morning Elkhart, 16; Bristol, 12. New Paris, 16; Jamestown, 13. Nappanee, 47 ; Wakarusa, 9. Saturday Afternoon Goshen, 24; Elkhart, 22. Nappanee, 29 ; New Paris, 23. Saturday Night Nappanee, 30; Goshen, 11. INTERCLASS BASKETBALL February 26 ended one of the hardest fought interclass basketball tourneys ever recorded in the history of Goshen High School. On December 4, the first game was played. It was the Freshman-Sophomore game that created the greatest interest, and also proved the Freshmen a dangerous contestant. And when January 29 arrived they cinched the title by defeating the Sophomores by a score of 32-2. This was a very decisive victory, and proved the Freshmen undisputed champions. The Freshmen had a fast-stepping crew this year and under the management of Mr. Kintigh have shown some real basketball. They have ample material, some of which will prove strong runners for the varsity in the future. The teams were as follows: Senior — G- Ramsby, L. Williams, R. Elliott. M. Myers, C. Reasoner, R. Case, T. Ulrich, G. Mast; Junior — H. Shanahan, H. Mil ' e-, R. Wenger. G. Hofhe. ' n. L- St-aub. L. Woods, J. Racord ; Sonhomore — R. Lehman. C- Ganger, B. Firestone, R. Rule, M. Diepenbos, F. Koerner. H. Pletcher, H. Downa ; Freshmen — P. Voder, D. Foos, F. Bowman, C. Wilson, R. Zollinger, C. Snvder, R. Rnmsbv, W. Aiken. THE CBIMSON 95 TRACK Goshen undertook a very ambitious track schedule this season, and two Dig meets were held on Foreman field. The cinder track performers were coached bv J. Fred Ulery, as Coach Phillips tutored the baseball team. With but one letter man, Paine, remaining from last season, Coach L iery raced a difficult task in shaping the least semblance of a team. However, an abundance of material reported, and the local tactician developed a formidable bunch of artists- In Paine, Peffley, Warstler, Carpenter and Fred Swihart, he had almost certain point winners; and Bosse, Penrose, Fairchild, Tillipaugh, Lehman and Croop could be depended upon to help the scoring column occasionally. In their first meet of the season, on Rice field, with South Bend, Mishawaka, Nappanee and Elkhart, the Crimson finished third, collecting 1 5 4 points. Elkhart, introducing a young army of flying talent, easily won the meet with 49 points. South Bend nosed out Goshen by 3jj markers for second place, and Alishawaka and Nap- panee finished fourth and fifth respectively. Goshen ' s point winners were: Warstler, 4 — second in 220 yard dash; third in 100 yard dash. Peffley, 3 — second in 440 yard dash. Paine, 3 — second in low hurdles. Swihart, 3J 2 — second in shot put; tied for third in pole vault. Carpenter, 2% — tied for first in high jump. A field day, in which all of the city schools participated, was held on Foreman field, Apil 24. However, the prevailing pneumonia weather, which was anything but conducive to a good meet, put a damper on what would have been a gaia day. Junior Class — 7 firsts, 2 seconds and a third 42 Freshman Class — 2 firsts, 5 seconds, and 2 thirds 27 Sophomore Class — 2 firsts, 2 seconds, and 4 thirds 20 Senior Class — 2 seconds 6 Junior High School — 4 thirds 4 Chandler — 4 firsts, 4 seconds and 4 thirds 36 Pike Street — 1 first, 1 second, and 1 third 9 m THE CRIMSON m 96  BASEBALL Goshen again entered the St. Joe Valley baseball league this year- The circuit was divided into two divisions — eastern and western. Goshen, Nappanee, Ligonier, and Middlebury are in the eastern group, while LaPorte, Michigan Citv, South Bend, Plymouth and Walkerton compose the western division. According to the schedule, each team meets every other team in its division twice, playing a home and home contest. At the end of the season, the winners of the two leagues will meet in a Little World Series to decide the championship. Prospects for a winning team this year are exceptionally bright. Pierce, Shanahan, Alwine, Tully, Fiedeke, Bigler, Cornell and Fred Swihart remain from last season ' , squad. Finding a reliable pitcher was the main job of Coach Phillips at the outret ot the campaign- In Fred Swihart he seems to have located the right man. Goshen opened its 1926 season, April 14, scoring a 2-0 victory over Bristo 1 . Although they made but one hit. the locals took advantage of misplays of the Bristol- ites, and several walks aided their cause materially. Fred Swihart pitched great ball for the Crimson. Goshen ' s lineup for the game follows: Big ' er, right field; Pierce, short stop ; Tully, catch ; Shanahan, center field ; Alwine and Howard Swihart, left field; Reasoner and Cornell, second base; Peffley, third base; Fiedeke, first base; Fred Swihart, pitch. Goshen made its debut in the league by copping a 5-2 decision over the Middle- bun 7 nine. The game was played at Middlebury, before a small crowd, and with football weather prevailing. The home team won a spectacular 3-1 battle from the Nappanee representatives. The game was a pitcher ' s duel between Hepler and Swihart, the local twirler holding, a slight edge over his adversary THE CRIMSON 97 ■ sai iU CHOSEN HAUNTS AND WORK J MR(MtD :  JT,Olt5ffl{Ii.t THE CRIMSON THE WEEKS CALENDAR The year had gloomily begun for Willie Weeks was a poor man ' s Sun.

Mary Ogle, ' 26 FIND YOURSELF Dear Miss Widner: I am a young girl of sixteen; I have dark, straight, bobbed hair, and brown eyes; I am tall, slender, and vivacious- I wear a fur coat and drive a car, as 1 live in the country west of Goshen. I have a host of admirers, but 1 have a terrible crush on a tall, slender, dreamy-eyed, commercial teacher here in school. I think he likes me, too, but another girl, who takes a subject of him, has the advantage over me. I hear that she is brazen enough to go into his study hall the fifth period and get help on her lesson, and sometimes she stays the whole period and talks to him. I am desperate. Marie. Marie, from studying your letter, I can easily see that the young teacher mu-t like you ; or if he doesn ' t, it isn ' t his fault. I think, since you have a car, your winning card will be to give him lifts to and from school; and if the worst comes to the wo-:st, you might call at his boarding house for him at school time- THE CRIMSON 100 Dear Miss Widner: 1 am a tall slender fellow and play a banjo very well and can also sing. 1 am a junior in H. S., and belong to the Dramatics Club, which is coached by a beautiful, young lady, whom 1 am crazy about. She seems to like me, too, but also seems to consider me too young. Lately, she has been receiving the attention of a young man teacher who has curly hair and who has about three or four years advantage over me. He is an honorary member of the Dramatics Club. How can 1 win her away from him? Jack Spratt Jack, you have a great advantage over him, in that you can play a banjo and sing- I am sure this romantic, young lady would be completely captivated if you would serenade her some night. Dear Miss Widner: I am a cunning little fellow and have a crush on a tnll, fair damsel with whom I sang in the Senior Carnival. I would like to ask her for a date, but am afraid she considers me too young just because I am so short. In our act in the Carnival I sang directly to her, but she did not deign to notice me. I What would you advise? Robert Zigler Well, Robert, I can ' t make her shorter or you taller, but faint heart never won fair lady , so take a chance and ask her for a date. Dear Miss Widner: I am a football player, left-handed, but my heart ' s in the right place; however I am very bashful. I would like to have a date with a certain girl in school, but don ' t know how to ask her. Fierce Harley Fierce, I think, to begin with, you might call her up when you want to talk to her, instead of calling up her girl friend and asking for her- HINTS FOR BEAUTY (By Bob Bigler) Freckles never made a person beautiful ; therefore, it is necessary that you have no freckles if you wish to become beautiful. There is only one way to remove freckles successfully. This method is chewing gum. (Juicy Fruit preferred). Many people will dispute my hint, but it is an absolute remedy for vanishing freckles, as I have tried it myself, and today 1 have no freckles. Of course, I chew four packages of gum a day, but there is bound to be a little expense to any treatment. The chewing of gum gives the freckle tissues such a hard work out, that they have to clear out and make their home on some other person ' s face, thus leaving your complexion the color of a lily. I would start by chewing ten packages of gum a day. Later, you can cut it down to seven. Genevieve Jackson During the month of May in the morning, walk barefoot through the dewy grass- I know this will make you beautiful. Look at me. Jerry Williams THE CRIMSON 101 Get to bed early every night but Saturday night, and then you should go to bed at nine o ' clock. Get up at dawn, eat a light breakfast, run a couple of miles, go through your daily gymnastics; then go to school. After going through these exer- cises, one should begin to get beautiful. 1 think I am a wonderful example of what this daily routine will do. Try it some of these nice, warm mornings. Bob Bigler My secret in being beautiful is to be husky. To do this, one must have plenty of hard work and exercise. My routine is as follows: get up at eight o ' clock, catch a ride to school, work hard in school, catch a ride home to dinner, walk back to school, catch a ride downtown after school, drink two or three chocolate milks, take a street car back to town, go to the show, get a banana split, catch a ride home, and then go to bed for a good night ' s rest. My method may seem a little hard at first, but you will soon find out what this hard work and plenty of exercise has to do with the building of your body. I am a good example of what it has done.
