H M O N The School Board f ) ' OSHEN HIGH is only a part of a large organization called the V J?f T7 Goshen City Schools under the direction of Mr. J. W. Foreman, Superintendent of Schools and one of the foremost educators in the State of Indiana, and under the supervision of the Board of Education, composed of three of the leading men of t he town. The school system is essentially a business proposition; and in order to have it run efficiently, the personnel of the School Board must be ex- perienced in matters of finance. But unlike other business, the schools deal with individuals instead of merchandise, therefore the members of the board must have personality and interest in boys and girls, in addition to the qualities of uprightness, farsightedness, and practicability; they should be conservative without being unprogressive. At the beginning of the year the Board of Education was composed of the following: president — Mr. Amasa Hoovens, president of the City Na- tional Bank and the Goshen Lightning Rod Company; treasurer — Mr. J. M. Farrell, president of the Goshen Sash and Door Company; secretary — Mr. Edward Logan, of the local firm of Yoder 8c Logan. On January 1, Mr. Logan resigned to become a member of the city board of works and was succeeded by the Rev. H. F. Stuckman, pastor of the First Brethren Church. — LaMar Rensberger 19 3 page fit

H M O N Silhouettes |UR Annual this year features the Silhouette. This is significant. Some one has said that coming events cast their shadows before them. Be that as it may, we do know that great events and great men leave great figures in outline behind them. These we call Silhouettes. We read a few years ago the story of The Man Who Sold His Shadow. This man thoughtlessly bartered away the substance of his being so that he cast no shadow when he stood in the open sunlight. He thus became a mere nothing — a non-entity. His char- acter and his personality were gone. The plight of this man was most distressing, so the story relates. No one would mistake the silhouette of Abraham Lincoln, of George Wash- ington or Martha Washington. Even their shadows are recognized by people of today. They cast a shadow that was different from anyone else of their time. The reason so few people stand out in any particular period is that not many folks are brave enough to be different from other people. Most folks cast shad- ows essentially like all the rest of the folks, and the common herd hides them. But some one says Lincoln was of a dis- tinguishing figure. Yes, he was six feet, four inches tall. But he is not remem- bered because of his stature, but because he did not hesitate to differ from other men of his time. He cast a shadow all his own. It would be interesting to take a shadow picture on commencement day of each member of the class of 1930. Then in 1975 we ' d like to see made again the shadowgraph of all the members of the class then surviving. What would there be distinctive about the leaders? But it is not necessary to photograph and silhouette the class of 1930 by any mechanical means known to modern art. Each one is making up his own silhouette, and the years to come will blend most of these into the composite picture of the race and time. But let us hope that there may be some who have sufficient individuality and force of character to leave behind a silhouette that shall be all his own and recognizable by all the world. — Superintendent J. W. Foreman 9 3
