7Ae G iUhAjo i 1941 A HISTORY OF THE CRIMSON This edition of the Crimson is the thirty-fourth that has been published in the history of Goshen High School. It is interesting to glance back through past editions and see what they were like. It was in February, 1907, that the need for a school publication developed to the point that the students of Goshen High School, then the only six year high school in the United States, pub- lished the first Crimson. At that time it was a monthly magazine published six times that year. The successful work of Maynard Simond, the editor-in-chief, served as a standard for future pub- lications. From this time until 1920 a magazine was published by the student body. These issues aver- aged thirty-two pages, published about nine times a year. The editor in 1908 was Charles Wag- ner. In 1909 the Crimson edited by Frank Abbott emphasized school spirit. With Maurice El- liot as chief-of-staff the 1910 Crimson included a final commencement number of annual propor- tions. In I9ll John Abbott, a brother of the third editor, published a very spirited edition. Ned Newell was the editor of the 1912 magazine. Interesting and popular Crimsons were published in 1913 and 19 14 by Lester Blough and Walter Kester, respectively. The editor of the 1915 edition was Mitchell Charnley. Frederick Winterhoff and his staff produced an authoritative archive in their work during 1915-1916. In spite of the war, Andrew Sallade published a splendid magazine in 1917. In the years 1918 and 1919, Editors Paul Kinney and Warren McCumsey had to reduce their magazines greatly. In 1920 the senior class used the money ordinarily spent for printing expenses in other ways, and there was no Crimson. All of these Crimsons were interesting. The monthly issues had contents much like our pres- ent Tomahawk. The commencement numbers usually containing photographs of classes and or- ganizations were similar to later Crimsons. From 1921 to 1924 one annual was published each year by the senior class and representa- tives chosen from other classes. The editors were: 1921, Kenneth Stambaugh; 1922, Harold Bech- tel; 1923, James Harrison; 1924, Rosemary Harper. The 1924 book featured the new high school building. Some photographs in previous Crimsons seemed unfamiliar until we researchers real- ized that the present Junior high was at that time the high school. But the pictures from 1924 on are familiar ones of the spacious new building constructed during 1922 and 1923. In 1925 the Crimson, with Herbert Greene as chief, was again a monthly magazine, but all succeeding Crimsons have been annuals. The editors since 1925 have been: 1926, Margaret Haw k; 1927, Herbert Zook; 1928, William Hulwick; 1929, John Fobes; 1930, Betty Stout; 1931, Valeria Barnard; 1932, Jane Rummel; 1933, Mary Louise Barnhart; 1934, Waldo Lehman; 1935, Richard Umble; 1936, Bill Bullock; 1937, Tyson Carpenter; 1938, Donald Yoder; 1939, Ken- neth Lehman; 1940, Robert Hawthorn; 1941, Arthur Weaver. We hope that the Crimson of 1941 will keep up the glorious tradition of the past and help set a pattern for the future. G. G. 1lt GnintiXHt 1941

In addition to fourteen members in the concert band and two in the marching band, there are man}- representatives in the orchestra, glee club, and choir. The freshmen have been active in the various clubs. Richard Ha} ' and Bob Rippey are in the Scribblers Club. There are several members of the Class of 1944 in the Science and Camera Clubs. About thirty-seven girls are members of the Sunshine Society. This year, for the first time, Goshen High School has a Jr. Hi-Y for freshman and sophomore boys. The freshman boys have been quite active in this new club. The Class of ' 44 is represented in athletics, too. Many boys went out for foot- ball last fall, and this winter some good basketball players developed. With the able assistance of the sponsors, Mr. Beck and Miss Smith, we hope to continue this good work. 7Ae GtlMdaK 19m
