THE CRIMSON Published by THE SENIOR CLASS GOSHEN HIGH SCHOOL GOSHEN, INDIANA 1940 Ike GlUtUxui 940 OpesUnXf, the, Sluittesi A newcomer has entered Goshen high school this year — in the imagination of Cartoonist Eldon Pletcher, who created him. He is Snappy, the friendly little fellow who totes his camera throughout the pages of the 1940 Crimson, snapping pictures here and there. Meet our friend and yours — Snappy ! Ue GnimAxi t i940 7 4e fyaculitttf Cife Ort L. Walter Superintendent of Schools Throughout his term of office as superintendent, A-Ir. Walter has been constantly active in im- proving our educational system. His supervision of the completion of the Chamberlain school, on North Fifth street, is only one instance of this fact. The build- ing is a piece of work of which our entire city is justly proud. Harold H. Becktel Principal Mr. Bechtel has served as high school principal for only four years j but in that short time he has won the esteem of the entire student bod}- by his keen inter- est in, and understanding of, all phases of school life. 7Jte G a U(Ht 1940 7 4e tf-ocu UtXf, 4fe, INTERESTING HIGHLIGHTS As one surveys the progress of Goshen high school since the turn of the century, he sees many incidents of importance of which we should be justly proud. Although little mention is ever made of the fact locally, it is generally recognized that the first Junior college ever to be established in the United States was evolved in our own high school. I take the liberty of quoting from a letter received by local school authorities from the University of Chicago, dated September 27, 1906. Two years ago the University of Chicago received a proposition from you — 1o rec- ognize post-graduate work, which you proposed to offer in your high school, for credit in the Junior colleges of the university. This proposition was referred by the University to me as Dean of Affiliations. ' After careful inspection of your curriculum and equipment in the departments whose work you proposed to offer, by representatives in the corresponding departments in the Uni- versity, your proposition was recommended by me to the Board of Affiliations, and accepted by them. You therefore established a six year high school in your city, covering the usual four year high school course, with a two years ' college course, super-added, being probably the first community in the country to take this step. Such action entitles Goshen to the highest praise from those who are interested in the spread of higher education, and makes your school a model, which has already attracted widespread attention. During the past two years I have given much personal attention to the working out of the plans in frequent visits to the school and in conferences with the superintendent and principal, and with members of the Board. I can say now that whereas the University ratified your plan and promised to accept your students with credit for advanced standing, somewhat tentatively, and in the spirit of investigation, being vitally interested itself in the six year high school plan, the work seems to have progressed beyond the experimental stage, and to have demonstrated the wisdom of your action in establishing a high sch ool college. ... So far as the University ' s attitude is concerned we shall continue the same privileges . . . ...And these privileges have never been rescinded 1 The following year Goshen high school became affiliated with the North Central Asso- ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Continued membership in this top ranking ac- crediting agency has given added prestige to graduates of our school. It not only has re- sulted in the maintenance of high standards within the school, but it presupposes acceptance of our credits by every institution of higher learning throughout the nation. Ever in step with the progress of modern educational policies, those persons in charge of our schools have wrought many changes. More commodious quarters have been occu- pied, new departments have been added, and the curriculum has been altered and en- riched. Only one thing has remained constant — the earnest desire to prepare youth that they might serve better in the particular niche of life into which they will eventually be cast. — H. H.

SCHOOL BOARD OF GOSHEN For the official 0. K. on school improvements and expenditures we turn to the school board, made up of three of Goshen ' s leading citi- zens, working with Supt. Walter. Each member of this group is a business man well versed in the principles of efficient management. This is a factor of prime im- portance in wise planning and economical spending. It is through the foresight and counsel of their guidance that the unusually high standard of Goshen ' s city schools has been maintained through the years. == 7 4e Cnintixui, 1940 Ue tyoctutinxf, ye FACULTY Harold H.

H. S. During the winter there was little activity, but tiny roots were creep- ing out and establishing a foothold, so that by the end of the first semester many little scholastic shoots began peeping through the cold, hard classrooms. David f : 5 1 51 2 ill Culp, Janice Latta, and Ruth Warstler pushed higher than the others in grades. By the second semester the roots were established and the plants were thrifty enough for organization. These trees were selected as sponsors — Miss Stutz and Mr. Greenwalt. Spring brought rapid growth, shoots of ideas developed, leaves of knowledge in band, orchestra, and other organizations unfolded. By June each sturdy plant put forth blossoms, thus showing the readiness for the sophomore class. 7 4e Gii aa t 1940 1U tyamiLf, Alburn ' -■ ' iluMJiMtfWBff ■gagg ¥ j- - 1 T ' ttTfii inrVii ' rTHifr a M ' ufl ■B 1 « f| BAND Director.

Besides learning the historical facts in the lives of the women chosen, the girls were impressed by their admirable traits of character. The Sunshine members of each class also presented a program. In order to promote school spirit, the freshmen sponsored the learning of yells and some less familiar songs. Helpful suggestions in the art of entertaining were a part of the sophomore program, while the juniors presented a speaker who gave hints on how to develop beauty, both that which is skin-deep, and that which is within. The program of the seniors centered around choosing one ' s occupation. The Sunshine organ fund is ever increasing, due to activities promoted for that purpose. The society sponsored a campaign to sell magazines, with home room competition to add to the interest. Another activity was the selling of music series tickets for the concert association, and at Christmas time holly wreaths were sold by the S. S. S. girls. On April 6 the state Sunshine convention was held at Rensselaer, Indiana. This was attended by three delegates and Miss Smith, who has been in charge of the society in the absence of Miss Wahl, the regular sponsor. The climax of Sunshine activity was the mother-daughter banquet held in May. 7l4e G Umlo.+t 1940 == Ue fyofiwlif, Album CHORUS AND GLEE CLUB Row 1: R. Stump, R. Goodell. C. Grise. P. Grover, G.

The aims are to promote social affairs, to give prac- tice in parliamentary procedure, to develop such personal qualities as friendship, leadership, and initiative, to stimulate interest in hobbies, and to learn more about the field of home economics. Vocational Outlook was the theme chosen for the programs throughout the year. Many interesting talks were given by women prominent in the field of home making.

AUwun SCIENCE CLUB President Vice-president Secretary Treasurer Phil Sthair Bill Zentz Arlene Loucks Bob Brooks The Science club is the next to come before the camera ' s eye. This group, di- rected by Air. Beck, was organized a few years ago for those especially interested in this field. Subjects of this nature are presented before the club informally, and with a view to useful application in everyday life. The club meetings during the first semester of this year were devoted to out- side speakers, such as radio-operators, laboratory technicians, and electricians. These meetings commanded splendid attendance. The second semester programs consisted of group participation in experiments. Due to the excellent facilities of the physics laboratory, these experiments were car- ried out to the enjoyment of all. F. F. A. OFFICERS Billy Cripe Devon Higgins El wood Culp Kenneth Lechlitner President .... Vice-president Secretary .... Reporter .... The F. F. A., under the sponsorship of Mr. Sabin, is made up of boys who are taking vocational agriculture. The aim of the Future Farmers of America is to prepare the youth of today for better farm life of tomorrow. This club has taken part in many activities of agricultural interest, such as the judging of poultry and eggs, grain, live stock and dairy cattle. Another activity of the organization is the pest eradicating contest in which members are divided into teams. The losing team provides refreshments. The motto of the club is : Learning to do; Doing to learn ; Earning to live; Living to serve. Ue Gnintian 1940 ke tyawULf, AiM+un TOMAHAWK STAFF I Row 1: S. Ulery, W. Dun- can, A. Hoogenboom, P.

FOOTBALL AT C. H. S. Prospects weren ' t very promising for the 1939 season at C. H. S. In spite of the fact, about 50 boys reported for practice late in August, and for nearly four weeks this squad drilled daily under a sweltering summer sun. Finally, on the night of September 15, a Crimson eleven marched upon Foreman Field without the assistance of a single letterman. Mr. Byers did not know exactly what to expect from the boys because they were new at the job and lacked the experience necessary to play the game of football. In the battle that followed, the Red Menace romped over a mediocre Warsaw eleven and emerged on the long end of a 27-0 count. Following that game, Coach Byers became a bit worried, and was still uncertain as to what would happen against Sturgis the next week. He knew only too well from experience with teams that it takes more than just the old fight to win ball games. His fears were realized when a veteran Trojan eleven downed a scrapping Red Menace. The following week, conference play was begun, with Goshen entertaining the Michigan City Red Devils on Foreman Field before taking to the road to meet Mishawaka, LaPorte, and then a non- conference foe, Wabash, on their respective gridirons. In every game, it was the same third quarter jinx that tagged the Red Menace under the lights. Although these defeats were suffered, Coach Byers saw that the inexperienced squad was steadily improving, and that they would reach their strength against Elkhart. This they 7Ue G d ptix t 1940 Aeiud Reel did, surprising the Blazers, and only after Donovan slipped away in the third quarter for two scores, did the Menace suffer defeat. The following two games proved none the better, however, as Huntington edged the Crimson out after a spectacular run by a Goshen back, and the Central Bears took advantage of a weakened eleven to bury the Menace in a third quar- ter spurt. It seemed that a lack of experience hounded the Red Menace this year; but next year, an experienced squad feels certain the tide will turn. Out of 22 lettermen, only nine will graduate, and an abundance of good material will be ready to report for duty next fall.

MAKING BASKETBALL HISTORY The Goshen high school Redskins of 1939-40 enjoyed a highly successful season of basketball. Their record includes thirteen wins, four losses, and one tie game. The five boys who played regular positions in nearly every game were Earl Arnold and Phil Bickel at guards, Abe Hoogenboom at center, and Junior Shelton and Floyd Koch at the forward posts. Substitutes were Dick Fancil, Donald Whitmer, Junior Myers, Junior Schnoebelen, and Bob Haney. the Redskins showed their superiority by 25. Phil Bickel led the winners with ten In the opener with the New Paris Cubs, coming out on the long end with a score of 31 points, followed by Hoogenboom with six. Goshen had very little trouble disposing of Concord to the tune of 39-17 in the sec- ond game. Bickel again was high for the winners, contributing an even dozen, while Arnold followed close behind with nine points. In the third game, the G H. S. boys traveled to Warsaw to bring back with them an easy victory. The score was Goshen 38, Warsaw 29. There were many fouls called, but the fans were treated to a very good game. Arnold and Shelton each scored ten points. Goshen won its fourth game against the Ligonier Red Raiders, 37-13. Every nook and cranny of the Ligonier gym was crowded, with nearly a thousand fans present. Hoo- genboom and Haney led the locals with ten and seven points, respectively. In the Wakarusa game, one of the most exciting of the year, the Redskins emerged with a 19-19 tie. The game went into an overtime, but neither of the teams scored and the game was called off by the coaches. 7Ue G u fUjo t i940 fteuti Reel The Redskins lost to the Mishawaka Maroons, 31-30, after playing an excellent game. Goshen led all the way, but was beaten in the last three minutes of play, when Bolen and Gerard of the Maroons scored eight points to give them a one-point margin victory. Junior ( Doc ) Shelton led the losers with ten points, followed by Hoogenboom with seven. Here Goshen tasted its first defeat. The Redskins chalked up a victory over Elkhart, 27-23. Our team had a lead of 18-9 at the half, but in the final two quarters had to play hard in order to win. Bickel was high for Goshen, scoring eight points, while Cornell made ten for the Blazers. Nappanee was defeated by the Redskins, 31-30, in a very thrilling encounter, as can be noted by the score. Big Abe Hoogenboom was the high individual scorer, contribut- ing six free tosses and three field goals for twelve points. McCuen. with fifteen points, paced the losers. The local lads proved too much for the Bristol Pirates, downing them 47-20. Bickel led Goshen with thirteen points, followed by Captain Shelton with eight. Goshen pulled a surprise attack on the Michigan City Red Devils, nosing them out of a victory 33-31, even though they were minus, due to illness, two regulars, Shelton and Hoo- genboom. Arnold paced Goshen with twelve points, followed by Bickel with ten. The substitutes proved their capability in this game. Goshen tasted its second defeat, 41-25, at the hands of the LaPorte Slicers. The Red- skin quintet was still without the help of Shelton, and Hoogenboom was not in top-notch form. Floyd Koch was high for Goshen with eight points, while Funk led the winners with twelve. Goshen won over a strong Middlebury quintet 22-17 in a very fascinating game. Hoo- genboom and Koch led the winners with five points each, while Hostetler was high man on the losing team with eleven. The third defeat was administered to the Redskins by the South Bend Central Bears, 35-19. The game was close until the third period when the Bears forged ahead. Goshen ' s Arnold was high for the losers with six points. De Wachter and Fohrer led the winners with eight points each. The fourth and last defeat came to the Redskins when they lost to Nappanee, 33-31, with two seconds to go. The winning basket was tossed in by Dunnick. Stouder led Nap- panee with thirteen points, with Hoogenboom leading the losers with eleven. The Goshen Redskins registered a victory over a very strong Riley Wildcat quintet, 26-20. Arnold was the high individual scorer with fourteen points, followed by sophomore Floyd Koch with seven. The third quarter ended with the score 18-17, but in the final pe- riod the Redskins spurted ahead, making nine points to Riley ' s two to register another win. Goshen scored its eleventh win against Washington of South Bend, 16-9. The zone defense employed by the Washington Panthers will probably account for the low score. Ju- nior Shelton was high for Goshen with seven points, while Junior Hecklinski scored seven Df the losers ' points. In its second encounter with Elkhart the Redskins easily won, 36-25. Our quintet grabbed the lead right at the start and was never headed. Hoogenboom was high for Go- shen, scoring five fielders for ten points, with Shelton scoring eight. In the final game of the season Goshen won over Columbia City, 46-34. There were many fouls called on both teams, but the superior passing and rebound work of the Red- skins completely outclassed the Columbia City Eagles. Junior Shelton was the high indi- vidual scorer, making seventeen points to finish in fine form. 7l4e Gnlntixui 1940 leu i (leei THE TOURNAMENT Goshen ' s Redskins went to the tournament favored to win. Their first game was with the Elkhart Blue Blazers, and they won 34-30 in a very desperate last half struggle. Big Abe Hoogenboom was the high individual scorer, making sixteen points for Goshen. In the second game, with Bristol, the Redskins again won, 41 -23, the subs playing during most of the game. Donald Whitmer l ed Goshen with nine points while Arnold and Hoogenboom each made seven. In the third game of the tournament the Redskins lost 41 -36 to a strong Concord quintet that was red hot ; that is, they couldn ' t miss. Whistler of Concord scored eight baskets and a free throw for seventeen points. Arnold paced Goshen with thirteen, while Hoogenboom made nine.

Arno d, Haines Long TENNIS Mr. Schenck, Goshen high school ' s tennis coach, called the 1939 tennis team into warm-up drills late in August, last summer, in preparation for early September conference play. Out of the boys that reported, Homer Kelsey, Jack Stump, Bob Blough, and Dave Culp were picked to comprise the team. The season was not very gratifying, due to lack of material ; but as Coach Schenck called for spring practice this year, Blough and Culp both reported for training. With a team built around these two veterans, and with two new members, Shannahan and Sheffer, popping into light, things should take a turn for the better. TRACK Goshen ' s crack mile relay team of 1939, which was composed of Ray Miller, Dick Haines, George Long, and Earl Arnold, was broken up by the graduation of the first three. The only returning member of that team which took third in the state meet is Earl Arnold. Lettermen who should be heavy point winners for 1940 returning from the season of 1939 are: Earl Arnold — high jump, pole vault, and broad jump. Robert Brooks — dashes. Robert Miller — mile. Albert Coggan — 440 yard relay. Ted Bullock — low and high hurdles. Floyd Koch — high hurdles, high jumps, and broad jump. Donald Whitmer — low hurdles, broad jump, and relay. 7!4e GiUtoio+i 1940 ==Ae4AAl Reel. There are also a few other men who are quite sure of winning points for Goshen in their work upon the track. They are: Abe Hoogenboom — shot put. Junior Schnoebelen — dashes and low hurdles. Lee Wayne Weaver, Phil Bickel, and Bill Ogle — half-mile. Bob Claybaugh. Bob Rinehart, and Orrin Dalka — mile. Joe Lewis and Bill Shannahan — dashes. Dick Evans — pole vault. Gerald Shank — broad jump. Jim Howard — low hurdles. TRACK SCHEDULE— 1940 A II 9 ... Goshen at Warsaw 12 Garrett at Goshen 15 . . .

State Meet at Indianapolis GIRLS ' ATHLETICS The part played by the girls in athletics of Goshen high school is quite small compared to that of the boys. Even though inconspicuous, the girls occupy a well-earned share ot pra S when results are tabulated. These results prove that the girls make the most of their time while practicing in the gymnasium on Tuesday and Thursday noons and after school hours. Basketball is the leading sport among the girls, although baseball, track, and volleyball are also played. This year the girls ' varsity team was given the opportumty to display its ability in this popular game. A Play Day was held January 20 in the Elkhart gymnasium where our team and several others in this vicinity competed for honors. Fourteen girls participated in the event, which was sponsored by a newly-formed athletic organization of Elkhart high school Our girls stole all the honors. They were the only ones to play the entire day without a defeat win- ning four games. Warsaw, their first opponent, was easily defeated with a final score of 10-7 Other scores were: Goshen 18, Elkhart 2; Goshen 8 Bremen 5; and Goshen 2. L.g- onier 2. Teams from Ligonier, Bremen, Riley of South Bend, and Elkhart took part in the event. Later in the year the intramural basketball games were conducted under the super- vision of the athletic director, Miss Davisson. These games were played after school by four teams formed from the best players of the freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors Followers of the games were very much surprised to see the freshmen five come through with the final victory. 7Ae GUnUXHt 1940 Pict UaLi THE SENIOR WITHOUT A HOME ROOM (A parody on The Man Without a Country ) In the annals of G. H. S. is an old legend which I should like to relate to you. It is the story of an erring sinner, a senior. As the story goes, he was one of those students particularly allergic to home room periods. Consequently, we find him roaming the halls on a fatal day when suddenly his destiny — in the form of a home room teacher — overtook him. With a murderous look, she demanded to know where he was going. Since he was with- out an explanation, she decided that the time had come for a good heart-to-heart talk. But he merely scorned her kindly efforts as he said, I wish that I ma} ' never hear of home room again. Exasperated, the instructor replied, Very well, you must never more come to home room. The senior walked off with a sigh of relief, reveling in his newfound freedom. But soon the bright edge of this so-called liberty wore dull, and as he walked through the halls from eight-thirty to nine, that half hour seemed increasingly long- er each day. He could see the happy faces each Tuesday morning engaged in rol- licking spelling bees, fascinating debates, and enlightening discussions — most of which are pretty tough on the morale, but lots of fun anyway. But from all these pleasures the poor senior was excluded. He did not even have a Tomahawk to tell him that his home room had elected the same officers they have had ever since they were freshmen. His was a sorry plight, indeed. But no one would relent; the welcome sign was taken down; his pleading to re- join his old friends met with a deaf ear in the office — so he spent the rest of the year in this miserable condition. At graduation time, however, the depth of his suffering really came to light. When his locker was opened for inspection, there was found a list of clippings taken from the paper about home room activities, a picture of his alma mater, and a piece of chalk that he had snitched on his last day spent in home room. But it was too late then for him to repent, so he was forced to go through life as a senior with- out a home room. — Jeanne McPherson. 7Ue G Umdo t 1940 = Pictouc U ONCE IN ANOTHER WORLD Once, in another world, I heard a rich, midnight Ave Maria Sung by the golden glow of candlelight. Then, Night dipped her brush in black velvet And in deft, silent strokes Painted blessed shadows of sleep. Once upon a time, Row upon row of singing poplars Lifted silver heads to a sky Of breathless blue. And my heart beat just a bit faster Because God was so good, And because He overwhelmed my aching soul with beauty Once, I laughed Because life was clean and free.

WINDOW ' I have the dearest little window, An unobtrusive, charming window ; When there ' s blue above and white below And buds are on the trees, I can sit at my hidden window and think whate ' er I please. When — after a rain — the warming sun comes in at my window seat, I can laugh at the silly world below — jamming the muddy street; Strange human beings — they splash their feet, and glare and fuss and fume. Such useless things don ' t bother me — here in my window room. I have the dearest little window, An obtrusive, charming window; Sometimes the window seems to me A gift from heaven sent; I see leaves of a fiery filigree against the bright blue firmament. Often I dream for hours on end — my window is the way To a land where people laugh and dance, or sit in the sun all day. At night the window is a mirror Through which I may peep At a fairyland of stars, While winds whisper me to sleep. — Mildred Steininger. s= Ue G Um6x n 1940 Picfauali OX OYSTER SOUP When the subject is approached from an unprejudiced and impersonal stand- point, it must be said that the general aspect of the things before they are cooked is enough to move any sensitive human capable of deep feeling and upset stomach. However, for the benefit of all persons living or present who have never seen a specimen in any ichthyologist ' s aquarium collection or fish market, I submit the following data : Their appearance resembles unhardened jello in the slimy stage, but strangely enough, not one of the six delicious flavors is in evidence. Color is also noticeably among the missing. As to taste, that ' s a bit indefinite — and somewhat personal, too. Since my pur- pose is neither to encourage nor discourage you in any way, I had better omit fur- ther discussion on the taste of oysters. And as for any other distinguishing marks, there is a certain elusive meati- ness about them — elusive because they ' re so small (thank heaven) ; meaty because they resemble animals as much as anything else, though after biting into a shell that someone overlooked I sometimes wonder if they don ' t belong to the stone family. When the oysters are combined with milk to produce soup, their taste pre- dominates considerably over that of the milk. I always say that it ' s a shame to spoil something really fine with something else not quite so fine. Of course, I give you no reason to apply the foregoing statement to my spe- cific case of oyster soup, because as T have said before and will say again, this is merely an impartial presentation of facts, and can I help it if the truth does hurt? But to get back to ovsters — OH, FISH! I ' m tired of beine open-minded and considerate! I DOXT LIKE OYSTER SOUP!!

CURFEW In the false gray dusk of departing day, When the hills their shrouded shadows lay On silent woods ; when the sky has paled And the sun by the sleeping earth is veiled; When the world is stilled in the twilight hush Of departing day; when the sparrow and thrush Have alike returned to their leafy home, And the twinkling stars in their vast, gray dome Wax brighter with the passing hours, And the night has stilled the wind-blown flowers : When day has fled, and the moon grows bright, It is then that upon the peaceful night There bursts a note, so sweet, so near, Like a crystal chime sounding deep and clear, That its accents stir the sleeping trees, And float till they fade on the summer breeze. This is the curfew the woodlands play Of sadness, of sorrow, of passing day, That echoes from each distant hill — The plaintive call of the whippoorwill. — Robert Hawthorn. 7 Glim OH, 1940 Snapyi allele and k te.

One can see wave after wave crashing in upon the rocks, with white foam churning and spray swirling in the wind — each billow a small part of a larger, more bound- less sea. Such, I think, is the endless tide of young manhood and womanhood breaking upon the shores of Time. We have come to the point where we, one wave in that broad ocean, are about to enter a world of stern reality, as so many generations of young people have done in years gone by. But our wave is not identical with those before us or even those to follow. It is com- posed of different personalities, different hopes and aims. It is part of an occasion which can never become quite commonplace though followed by score upon score of similar ones; for it is an event which is shared as a lifelong possession, not only among ourselves, but with you, our parents, teachers, and friends. And so we greet you and welcome you to our exercises this afternoon, to the sharing of an experience which will ever remain with us and inspire in us new hopes, new aspira- tions, new de eds and accomplishments, new faith concerning that future which is mankind ' s most precious possession. May you enjoy our Class Day exercises, and may you attach to them even a part of that significance which we, the Class of 1940, feel this moment holds for us. —ROBERT HAWTHORN. CLASS POEM The sun casts a slender shadow On the dial of Time. The past, the present meet, and blend, And somehow share a mutual moment, Intangible and faint. Our protection, Which has blanketed us like a cool, grey mist, Rises; and we see ahead the future. This vista lies before us; We have only to glimpse and to choose The road we are to travel On through the rolling landscape of our lives. As we climb each little bluff, more of the trail we can see; Side roads all the way Turning and twisting — lost for a moment from view. The nearest, we see, is bordered with roses. And while we gaze enthralled, A whisper upon the breeze is borne: Beware, young thing, beware the thorn. Beyond, on the wind, innocent grasses wave. Are they covering a treacherous marsh Where we may flounder and sink? Over here is a lane to the side With blossoming trees and ripening fruit, But harmful insects have stung and marred their beauty. Still farther ahead is another way, screened by leafy boughs; This way has touches of everything — ■ The flowers, trees and grasses. Oh, yes, the brambles and thorns are seen; But we ' ll hold them back; we ' ll pass between. All are here — the insects — the roots upon which to trip. But this is Life — the good, the bad — Opening for us now. With eyes full of hope, And hearts full of faith Let us master the task to be done. —MARTHA ANN BUCK. 7!4e GiimAa+t i940 7 4e Camesia Revieiu SENIOR PRESIDENT ' S ADDRESS Ladies and Gentlemen: As we gather here on this occasion, some are a little sad, some are happy; but as a whole most of us are in somewhat of a trance, a little worried as to what the future holds for us. We came here four years ago to fight a battle with books so that we could equip our- selves for the battle of life. Looking back over these books, we see that they seem to be piled on top of each other to form a tall pyramid; and at the top is written in large letters the word — success. The effort was hard, and it seemed sometimes that we would never make the grade; but now, after all these arduous struggles are over, they seem to have become a stairway to happiness. Perhaps one of the most vital lessons we have learned can best be illustrated by an old, old story. There was once a father who had seven sons. One day he wanted to teach them a lesson, because he thought it was one of the most important things in life to remember; so he took them out into the yard. There he picked up seven sticks and, one at a time, he broke them over his knee. Then he took ssven more sticks, tied them together, and tried to break them over his knee; but he found that he could not do so. With this simple illus- tration he told the boys how much stronger and safer is a group that cooperates than is a group in which all members work as individuals. As we have worked together these last four years, we have found that cooperation is the keynote to success. Cooperation means the working together to produce the same results. It often means giving up individual ideas for those that render the greatest good to the greatest number. On this occasion I want to congratulate the members of this senior class for the cooperation they have shown in all the activities that 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 put on a job. That is one of the main reasons that our class has one of the best records in all fields in this school ' s history. What advancement we have made in the past four years has been made possible by the splendid cooperation of the members of the junior, sophomore, and freshman classes who have always supported our activities to the utmost; and to the superintendent, princi- pal, and faculty, who have, in the classrooms, given us guidance that has stimulated our minds so that we can appreciate more fully — life — its happiness and its sorrows that are ahead of us. Today I should also like to pay tribute to two individuals who have given much of their time to work for the betterment of the class. Those two are our sponsors, Miss Brooks and Mr. Kintigh. They have asked nothing in return for their splendid heip and work but that the class be happy and satisfied with their four years of friendship. Also we are very grateful to the people of this city who have given us an excellent school and a clean city in which to live. You as the citizens of Goshen know how important it is for your children to have a good heredity and a good environment. We, the new, young gen- eration, realize the same thing and wish to thank you very sincerely for the high citizenship religion, and moral standards that you have sat for us in this city of Goshen. The organization of this school is, in my opinion, one of the best in Indiana, because every teacher has a conference hour every day in which any student may go and get advice and guidance on his lesson or outside troubles. We also have the privilege of having a large variety of subjects from which to choose. With the passing of today ' s events we shall end our activities as a group. Tomorrow we shall begin our day as individuals and go our own separate ways to find new cooperative units in which to enter. Some will reach the top of the hill of success, while others may fall short; but we all leave with this thought in mind: that we have had one of the greatest things in life given to us, an education in Goshen high school. —ROBERT CLAYBAUGH. 7 4e GnlmAtut 940 == 7 4e Game ia Review. CLASS ORATION ForThi clss of 1940, today marks the completion of twelve years of formal schooling. Tomorrow we shall see what use we can make of that training. We believe that with the world in such a state of turmoil, those who are willing to give unselfishly of their time and effort without too much attention to material details can find many opportunities for rendering service. It is true that in America we do not have the miserable conditions that exist in other countries at present. We have better schools, more public libraries, more of every kind of convenience that makes for healthy, happy living; but not all classes share equally. Nothing to do? Everything 1o do. •«,..,„,!, n,,r Then in the arts and sciences, there is an inexhaustible field for creative work. Our common knowledge now compares favorably with that of the scholars of a few centuries ago We feel that more than ever before, we have a chance to do something useful, to create new beauty— a chance wor;h much thought and preparation. But what, some of you ask, has youth to offer? Is there anything behind a group of iitterbugs or impractical dreamers that makes for success? We like to think that we have qualities more substantial than these manifestations of voung ambition and idealism. . , You have provided for us a wider education than any other generation has ever had, our idle daydreams may produce a vision well worth realizing; our ambition will become better guided with added years and may become the means of accomplishing what is in- ihese ' are the hopes of a young generation. Whether they will ever become realities or whether they will remain flights of fancy is up to us. ,_..,..,. ., DUCD r nM The answer lies in the future. -JEANNE McPHERSON. JUNIOR ADVICE Being proud of the accomplishments of the Class of 40 , we, the seniors, will try to impress some thoughts of good advice upon the minds of you juniors. Leadership an outstanding problem in a group of intelligent young people (the class of 41 ) should be taken by a progressive boy or girl. Class officers are very important during your school terms. Be very thoughtful in the choice of them, for they are leading you through an enjoyable school life. Participating in class activities is a great asset to your graduating with honors, and to success in future life. Don ' t sit back and look on when there is work to be done Don you know there are three sides to every question? Your side, my side and Mr. Becntel s side- and Mr Bechtel will surely find some interesting work for you. Dramatics, atn etics and music, the school ' s outstanding activities, will unfold to you a mental, physical, and well-balanced way of living. , Good conduct in the school ' s shadows, punctuality, and respecting the property ot oth- ers are minor but important points to consider. If you stop to think you will know there are two kinds of fun, and the above suggestions will lead to the kind of fun that every C, H S. student will look forward to. You must forgive me for not mentioning the most outstanding, most useful, most gi- gantic, and most helpful bit of advice that the class of 40 can give Every six weeks period at the bookstore there is a special price on red ink eradicator. Buy it and avoid the most unpleasant feelings. (Ask the man who ' s had one.) Digging deeper into the school ' s activities we find one point that should be stressed again. There is nothing better for a team which is behind than to hear and to feel the backing of the school. Every seat must be taken is the attitude that each C. H . S. stu- dent should take preceding the senior play and other activities carried on in the auditorium. A new addition to the band is the answer to the music department s prayers. There are many other ways of showing your enthusiasm for good old C. H. b. Ask the teaching staff and the school board; don ' t wait and make them tell you The advice given, if followed, is only a start toward a successful and progressive lite. —LEE WAYNE WEAVER. Ike Gm tiJO i 19M = JUe Gamete Review CLASS HISTORY The book I have here, ladies and gentlemen, is a history book, a book which is rich with the lore of Goshen high school — a place not unworthy to make history, I might say. Of course I wish to emphasize the work of the class of 40. They have made this history what it is. Four years ago, a group of people disparagingly called freshmen entered these hallowed halls; and when I say fresh, I mean green. Big sister and brother had told them what to do and say. But either they were told wrong or they didn ' t hear right; because if ever there was a living jig-saw puzzle, it was the freshman class of 40 trying to find room 37. Solving this puzzle, the class entered upon the serious business of getting an educa- tion, which was their main purpose, at least for some of them. Miss Brooks and Mr. Kin- tigh were chosen as sponsors. Rising from the student ranks four people came to the front: Abe Hoogenboom, George Pestow, Jeanne McPherson, and Forrest Stoll — president, vice-president, secretary! and treasurer, respectively. Finding the second year a little harder, but less confusing, the sophomores, as they were now called, put on the harness once again. This time George Pestow was chosen pres- ident; his co-worker was Rex Swank, with Junior Shelton serving as secretary, and Paul Seybert as treasurer. The school was now taking on a definite shape. Rooms could be found with only two questions asked — how t get there, and how to get back Even room 37 was taking on a new aspect, several sophomores being admitted to L. L. L (Lost Lovers ' League.) Believing they could stand another year at G. H. S, a few stout-hearted people came back This time their handle was juniors, and being full-fledged upper-classmen now they had developed a gait, half strut, half stumble, which is characteristic of those in the upper strata of G. H. S. A newcomer from Des Moines, Robert Brooks, was given the reins as president. His silent but by no means inactive partner was Junior Shelton The fi- nances that year— no mean job— were handled by George Pestow; the secretary job was ef- ficiently managed by Evelyn Rowe. Getting used to the strange odor which permeates the building, the seniors— or as the underclassmen called them, those anemic looking shadows who roll their pants and wear their hats ,n the school— decided to try again. Vice-president Robert Claybaugh that little boy who packs a big wallop, managed the president ' s office in the absence of President Defoe Miller. Another newcomer from far-away India, Thelma Miller took the notes; and Earl Arnold took care of the specie. Areta Graber cut the biggest slice of scholastic honors, with awards from all four years Robert Hawthorn, Jeanne McPherson, and Robert Brooks came in close seconds On the gridiron we find the class of 40 besprinkled with stars. Mighty Earl Ar- nold headed the list, bringing down basketball, football, and track awards from each of his tour years. It seems he ' s making a collection of G sweaters Football awards were claimed by Ralph Borden, Robert Claybaugh Bill Culp Orrin Dalka, Captain Memtt (Fuzzy) Fausnaugh, Phocian Hatten, Jack Kelly, Robert Rinehart and Lee Wayne Weaver. On the hardwood, Captain Junior Shelton held sway, with Earl Arnold big Abe Hoo- genboom, and Robert Haney receiving awards. On the tennis courts Homer Kelsey and Jack Stump ruled the roost, each receiving awards in their senior year. In music we find Martha Ann Buck, Jean Miller, Rubye Stump, Evelyn Widner Rob- ert Boshart, Robert Hawthorn, and Arthur Smucker doing exceptional work with awards trom their junior and senior years in band and orchestra rpm ' Jhi ?■? a T rdS T e §i r n f ° r Clee Club ' Maf y Clason and Lucille Warstler showed remarkable ability at vocal work. hie.

In the sopho = 7 4e Gnintijott f940 = = te Camera R uieiu more year a party was held in the gym. It was April Fool ' s night, and everybody was pepped up by an appetizer of salt water. Music for dancing was furnished by a nickelodeon. In the junior year two parties were held in the gym, one given for the juniors and the other for the seniors Entertainment consisted of novelty floor shows and amateur bands. Two parties were aiso given in the senior year, the same schedule being followed — one for the juniors and one for the seniors. The juniors this year veered away from having parties in the gym, and had dancing and refreshments in the cafeteria. Entertainment was in the gym. The prom of 1 940, held at the Masonic Temple, was truly a gala affair. The theme was Hawaii, and the dance floor and room were beautifully decorated with significant objects from Hawaii. , The prom this year lasted until eleven o ' clock, a time limit which gave the students ample opportunity to make the usual trip to the Avalon and Chicago. Every great organization has its many problems to solve, and the class of 40 was no exception During the junior year, the choosing of the class ring proved to be difficult due to the large display of rings to be chosen from, but at last one was selected which suited the majority of the class members. The junior carnival, a unique experiment used to take the place of the traditional junior play, was a man-size job, no matter how you look at it. Due to the many duties expected in an undertaking of this sort, the class was kept extremely busy. It was truly a financial success. The ground floor of the school was lined with booths as a real carnival would be, having dart games, side-shows, popcorn, and candy. Also, a play was g ' ven . called Willie ' s Lie Detector. The queen of the carnival was Madge DeWilde. All in all it was a pleasant and profitable venture. The senior play, Anne of Green Gables, proved to be one of the most outstanding productions in the history of Goshen high school drama. The play was of a higher plane than that usually attempted by high school students. It was a fine performance, everything worked smoothly and the play was a success. To the faculty and students, the class of 1940 expresses the hope, even though we may have caused you untold headaches, that we may be remembered as friends and pals to you, and not as members of just another graduating class. — PHILLIP SIHA1R. CLASS GRUMBLE QUIET, PLEASE!! , o _ t . This is the filming of the Academy Award production for 1940. The action takes place in the Grumble Gardens of Goshen high school. SCENERY: Oh, just odds and ends. (135 odds to be exact.) CHARACTERS: Quite a few. TIME: May 29, 1940. LIGHTS— CAMERA— READY— ACTION!! (Soft light in the distance changes from pink to blue.) This section of the drama is for those (students) in Goshen high school who still feel that every day is a holiday from school— if you don ' t get caught. If you do it is a blue slip. Our old faithful pink slip is gone forever; the 1940 edition is gruesome blue. (Music off side — Mendelssohn ' s Wedding March . ) This one tune alone proved too much for six members of our class: Rosa ihe Nickler Audrey Strieker lean Miller, Janet LaRue, Maxine Miller, and Edith Shank. NOW THtRb ARE 135 INSTEAD OF 141 IN THIS, GOSHEN ' S FINEST CLASS. The Martyrs ' Song. ) After listening to these speeches today, one would think we dread to leave our L.LU- RIOUS school. I ' ll put you wise to a few things. This class has shouldered many responsi- bilities these past four years, but by far the heaviest was teaching Mr. Bechtel HOW TO BE A PRINCIPAL. We have done our best and it now rests with the other classes to finish our work. ( Loyalty Song. ) This has truly been a hard year. The loyal students of Goshen high went without cokes, sandwiches, and candy bars just to buy their regional tourney tickets; but when the score was tallied in the sectional games Concord had 41 to Goshen ' s 36. After much con- == 7Ue Gnimdost 19W 7 4e Gamete ReiUeiu sideration on our part we finally did agree to let the school officials buy sweaters for the senior squad members. By the way — have you heard the trick Mr. Bechtel tried to play while Miss Barnes was ill and away from the library? He attempted to slip in a first edition of a new book en- titled My Son Jon, by A Proud Father. Of course the seniors soon put a stop to that. Every Thursday afternoon the population of Goshen high is decreased at least one- third, because of the dance bands at the Palace in South Bend. The management there cooperates with the school, and a roll call is taken there before the show starts and tele- phoned here. Yes, the blue slips are all ready early Friday morning. ( Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime? ) Way back in 1930 this was a popular tune, and it is now the number one song on the junior class Hit Parade, since the box office returns were much less than anticipated when the Bill Stose Crimson (in the red) Review of 1 941 played Goshen in March. Because of this the seniors had to buy their own food at the banquet. We felt just like juniors again. ( Dancing in the Rain. ) We offer two suggestions to future decorating committees for proms: It always rains —even when we used the theme Star Dust- — so why not use the theme Rain Drops? Our other suggestion is The Vanishing American, since only the committee and the teachers stay until the prom is over now. (Fanfare) Gone wiht the Wind with its four hours of drama started the trend for long plays. When it came time to select the senior play, Miss Brooks said, Any play, just so it is long. Mr. Kintigh said, O. K. Anne of Green Gables lasted THREE AND ONE-HALF HOURS!!!! Now for a few timely suggestions: Why not give the school truck to the Elkhart County Historical Society? Its front wheels were new in 1922, the back ones in 1935, and the engine was a joy in 1910 when it was in a model T — but now it just isn ' t safe tc travel on the Goshen streets. We see no reason why Mr. Walter and Mr. Bechtel should park their cars in a restrict- ed parking zone. Do you? Students rush down the halls and they get a U, but Mr. Brinklow always exceeds the speed limit. Does he ever get a U? Why should the teachers continue to be paid? They might just as well be fired. What will there be to do next year? We graduate today!!! (Boy brings in notice.) Friends, there are things I could tell you about this school, and things you should know, too; but this notice says, CUT or ELSE — ! A little finale music, please. ( Auld Lang Syne. ) HOLD IT- FADE— CUT! —GEORGE PESTOW. CLASS PROPHECY Preview of Coming Attractions. In 1950 a staff of motion picture workers was given the task of making a picture of anything containing human interest that presented itself before the lens of a camera. This staff of men is: director, Dean Leer; cameramen, Phillip Sthair and Don Zentz; and tech- nician, Robert Wortinger. Ralph Borden is credited with all musical distractions, and Yours Truly is the narrator. We immediately put everything into an equipment truck driven by Junior Slusher and head for the first point of interest, the local high school. Principal Ed Cripe meets us and has the office girl, Martha Burt, show us around the building for picture possibilities. Among the teachers that we run across are Lawrence Rule, Betty June McCreary, Vera Farber and Martha Ann Buck. Doc Shelton and Frank Cripe are coach and trainer, respectively A professor, coming out of an assembly at which Adella Brunk and Areta Graber had lec- tured on Natural History, proves to be Arthur Smucker, who has been trying to perfect a = 7I4e Gtumdan 1940 = Ue Camera Review. rocket ship. Abe Hoogenboom is still going to school to play basketball, but he is rated the highest man in his class. In fact, he is six inches higher than any other student. ' We leave the school to take shots of different radio programs. As we enter the broad- casting station, we hear the announcer, Jack Kelly, introducing the two movie stars, Lois Ford and Orris Huber. As taking pictures of movie stars is not new, we change our course to lead to a musical broadcast. Here we come upon two prima donnas, Mary Clason and Lucille Warstler; a torch singer, Maurine Cramer; and a heart throbbing baritone, Romeo Cripe All the singers are accompanied by Rubye Stump. We go from this concert to the Fairy Tale hour, composed by Robert Hawthorn and told in kiddy fashion by Dick Strang. We leave the radio station to attend a farm meeting in which the agricultural expert, Paul Brenneman is to speak. We enter to find the meeting almost over, with Robert Ne- terer Leland Searfoss, Robert Unzicker, and Carlyle Wise asking the last few questions. As Paul sits down up pops Franklin Peffley to campaign for congressman from Texas. We continue our excursion by taking shots of local business organizations. We drop in on Earl Arnold ' s Public Secretary company where we see Arliss Cripe, Dorothy Ellis, Eva Nell Gosey, and Marie Crise. When asked about his business, Earl says he has his secre- tary business right in his lap. The truck breaks down as we leave Earl s company, and so we have it hauled to the nearest garage. The mechanics, Junior Bowser, Homer Kelsey, and Delbert Billett, find the trouble after three hours ' work — we are out of gas. As we have only a large bill with which to pay them Junior runs next door to Marjorie Stealy ' s candy shop for change. (We un- derstand that he wears out two pairs of shoes a week going after change.) While we wait on Junior, we notice a man in the back of the garage with some sort of machine. It is Clenwood Bunger with his invention for making cheap air. Going out on the street again we see everyone looking up, so we look up likewise. And there on the side of a building is Merritt Fausnaugh painting a sign. Yet above Mer- ritt several floors, pacing back and forth on the side of the building, is a human fly, whom we find out to be Bob Haney. As we bring our eyes back to street level we notice Bill Culp, the Fuller brush man, coming toward us. The only thing to do is to run, for if Bill starts sell- ing you brushes he ' ll ' talk you into buying his full line of merchandise. As we dash from Bill we run into Hap Williams selling magazines, and so to save ourselves we scatter and head for places of refuge, which are: Bud Weaver ' s A P market, Richard Washington s bank, Carl Smoker ' s drug store, and Wilfrid St. Germain ' s furniture store. After the danger of Culp and Williams passes and we begin to gather again, we dis- cover that Ralph Borden, our musician, is missing. We go to Irvin McCloughen ' s barber shop where we see Bob Penrose but no Borden. In the course of four hours we finally find him coming out of Betty Kistler and Betty June McQueen ' s beauty shop, where he says he gets the best wave by June Short and Katherine Wortinger. In connection with the beauty shop Dorothy Shelton and Marian Warstler have a gym for reducing, and if they can ' t make you thin they turn you over to Priscilla Slusher, who pounds the fat off you. With this mentioning of losing weight we get hungry and head for Carol Yoder s tea room. We are waited on by Mary Louise Yoder and Isabelle Leonard, who serve us food cooked by Carol Lydon and Maxine Householder. Lorraine Kinsella, the tea room bouncer, is talking to Joan Leidner, the interior decorator, at the table across from us. At another table we see Gertrude Cripe and Jeane Hoover, the local Sunday school teachers. We hurry through our meal so as not to miss the novelty stage show to be given at George Pestow ' s theater. Evelyn Rowe and Betty Copenhaver check our hats as we come into the theater. Violet Martin, Margaret Unzicker, Evelyn Widner, and Virginia Wolf usher us to our seats where we wait for the show to start. A fashion review comes first, with Jeanne Miller modeling the dresses designed by Betty Field and Robert Miller. Pa- tricia Baughman, a style reporter, describes each gown. A chorus number follows, in clud- ing as dancers Betty Swanson, Suzanne Ulery, Lillian Pietro, Grace Hoffman, and Betty Rose- zelle A special jitterbug contest gives us a chance to spot Kathryn Frick, and when the music slows down once in a while we can also see Orrin Dalka. Wanda Duncan gives a tap dance and we hear that the electric engineer back stage is Paul Seybert. (Strange, isn t it?) The last part of the program is a red head contest with June Culp, Marceil Hile, Betty Jane Miller, and Alice Musser entered as contestants. John Bosse and Paul Mitchell are the judges. ■ n . - j T u To take in some social life we visit a bridge party given by Maxine Gonderman. I hose present are Julianne Amos, Jayne Frauhiger, Eloise Fleck, Elaine Barringer, Mildred Biller, Mona Jean Brown Freda Cripe, Bettye Haberstich, Betty Hickman, Eleanor Juday, Rubie 7Ue G Um o i 1940 Ue Camera (lealeuf. Kurtz, and Jean Lehman. Travel pictures interest us so much that we decide to take a trip for photography pur- poses. With everything ready I find that I am late for the train. The railroad clerks, John Akens and Bob Mangum, tell me that the rest of the crew has gone on. I hail a taxi which is driven by Dick Sprenger, go to the airport, and board a transport plane which was designed by Phocian Hatten. The pilot is Jack Manrow and the stewardess, Madge DeWilde. (An- other strange coincidence.) Across the aisle from me I see Jeanne McPherson, and when the man beside her comes out from behind his paper, it proves to be her husband, the Rev. Bob Rinehart. The plane alights and I go to the steamboat lines to make arrangements with the clerk, Raymond Bubb. Then I wait for the crew to arrive by train. While waiting I employ a nurse, Jean Roscoe, to accompany us in case of sickness. As soon as the train arrives we go immediately to the dock and board our ship, which is captained by Joe Fidler. Among the officers and sailors we notice DeFoe Miller, Russel Jessup, Jack Stump, Kenneth Wortinger, Von Yoder, Earl Maxson, and Dick Zollinger. The first night out the boat rocks from side to side and so everyone holds on to his evening meal as best he can. When we ask Captain Fidler about it in the morning, he tells us what we had mistaken for a storm was Bob Claybaugh shifting his chewing gum from one cheek to the other. One of our traveling companions turns out to be Carlyle Nickler, a missionary to Africa. When we land in Africa we go to the model T dealer, Leonard Myers, to rent a car for proceeding inland. Finding our way into the heart of the jungle, we run across a group of natives listening to a music concert given by Bob Boshart and Margaret Davenport. This is followed by an illustrated cartoon lecture by Eldon Pletcher. Then a very stirring address is given to the natives by Thelma Miller. And so it is, dear people, that we continue upon our journey of experience. And if you wish to know how this picture of progress comes to a climax, don ' t fail to see it at your local theater of life, running for one generation that begins with the birth of the class of 1940 and ends when the Grim Reaper sees fit. —ROBERT BROOKS. CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1940 of Goshen high school, being of sound mind and body, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament in manner and form as follows: Item I.

In witness whereof we do hereby set our hand and seal on May 29, in the year of nine- teen hundred forty. Signed, EARL ARNOLD. VALEDICTORY This is the final day of our years in Goshen high school. We, as those who will soon leave its protection and guidance, see our education so far in a new light. The almost ideal school days were not to last forever; they were only a start in life. Those before us have said that they never realized their regular formal education had ended until they came to graduation. We may have thought, then, that those words were worn and meaningless; and yet, when we come to the time of graduation, we find the same feeling in our own hearts. When we began our twelve years ' journey through public school, we did not realize that the passing time would gain momentum until the senior year would seem almost a day, and the four years as classmates, a short friendship. It is too late now to regret failures, and it is not seemly to become elated over what small accomplishments may have been ours. Although we can never realize our privilege in being given so many opportunities, yet, as the future dawns, in a small measure we see what our school education may mean to us. We have learned of the world around us and what people have done in the past; and above all we have learned desirable attitudes and habits of work which have so much to do in making successful whatever we attempt. But in a large measure the light is yet dim; the future is yet in shadow. This afternoon, as the past and the future have been brought to our attention, we have resolved anew to live better, live nobler lives than we have before. May these reso- ' lutions become fixed as a high moment into poetry, so that it may be said of the Class of 1 940. On that day of May 29 the sun of their best lives was not setting; it had just risen. — ARETA CRABER. 7U Glim , 1940 7he Gcuneta Review. ORCHIDS to MR.
