The 1948 7 PuLliilted by the SenioA, Qlall Q allien Jli j,lt ScUaal, QadJten, Una. A Feudin ' and a Fussin ' A feudin ' a fussin ' and a figbtin ' Sometimes it gets to be excitiu ' We don ' t like them ornery neighbors down by the creek We ' ll be plumb out of neighbors next week. Grandma, poor old Grandma, Why ' d they have to shoot poor old Grandma? She lies ' neath the clover — someone caught her bendin ' over Pick in ' up a daisy. , ff x ' vf r 1 Campustry But there ' s nothing half so siveet in life As love ' s young dream. — Moore. Ar Senyer Y ' ar Thet summer vacation shore went fast ! Yep, it ' s September already and time to git back to book-larnin ' agin. Them thar frosh shore have a rough time, what with gittin lost in the halls and bein ' , ' nitiated with the water treatment. It takes a coupla weeks fer the teacher to git command of the class and then we settle down to collectin ' blue slips, U ' s and concoctin ' excuses fer bein ' late t ' class. Them loud mouthed hoodlums of this here institushun begin daily trips to Mr. B ' s office and keep insistin ' we hain ' t done anything, Mr. Principal. Football (for rugged guys only!) is going strong by October. And thet magazine campaign! It gits folks a wonderin ' when they ' ll read all those new subscriptions they suddenly have took. ' Fore too long it ' s Christmas with the choir singin ' the Messiah and then no school for ten whole days. Yipee ! Then — bang! We ' re back in school agin! Accordin ' to official reports we warn ' t supposed to have ' xams, but it ' s jest as bad as before. At the beginnin ' of the new semester the senyers have meetin ' s with Mr. Starr and find out to their disgust they ' ll have to git a heap more book-larnin ' if they wants thet diploma in May. Gosh! Thet means more books. (Have to run off some more greenbacks tonite!) February means singin ' valentines and pulenty of blackmail ! Everybody was purty happy ' bout the basketball tourney plan — no feudin ' for ti ckets. Then we have the fussin ' and fightin ' between senyer and sophomore gals over the precious senyer boys. (Yep!) ' Round about the end of March the juniors realized that the prom shindig ain ' t fer away and the senyers are fussin ' about who ' s goin ' to make music for the square dances. Goshen Relays is open to anyone who ' s been eatin ' their Crunchies right along. Senyer Sneek (in name only), the prom, class day, and finally graduation closes another year at G. H. S. — Sue Mc.

Folks just don ' t rightly understand us, I guess! Tak ' for instance t ' other day now. Maw asked me for a chicken and we ' ans ain ' t got none that are fat enough for eaten so I says to Maw, I says: — Maw, the McCoy ' s iz got some right nice chicks, so why not borrow one of theirs? See dis here hole in my britches? Dats ' wat happened! For four long years people has been treatin ' us mighty awful. We ain ' t a going to stand it much longer.

It would be difficult to imagine football or basketball games without the band. Attired in crimson and white military-like uniforms, our band appears at every home game. At halftime it entertains the fans with a performance consisting of marching and unique formations along with appropriate music. During basketball season the band divides into the Crimson and White bands, which alternate in playing at home games. This year the band was composed of approximately sixty-seven musicians, three of whom performed, also, as a drum major and baton twirlers. In February several soloists and ensembles won honors in the state music contest. On April 2, the band appeared in the all-musical-organizations ' concert, sponsored annually by the Music Parents ' Club. The band was frequently called upon to assist in pep sessions, parades, and other community programs. Mr. Brinklow deserves praise for the fine work he accomplishes as director of the band. He was assisted this year by a new faculty member, Mr. Erwin.

This year the forty-piece orchestra had two full rehearsals a week. At other times the strings rehearsed with Mr. Erwin, while the brass, woodwinds, and per- cussion practiced with Mr. Brinklow. The orchestra participated in the annual spring concert along with band and choir. It also supplied the music for the junior and senior class plays. Several members of the organization took part in the solo and ensemble contest, February 21; and several played in the South Bend Clinic during Teachers ' Association. A string quartet composed of David Schneider, Charlotte Burkhart, Alice Bender, and Judy King performed as accompanists for the annual rendition of the Messiah. The entire orchestra has worked hard in accomplishing the goal set before them by the director. Each member has achieved a richer and fuller understanding of an art that can be enjoyed throughout life.

You don ' t have to be a Frank Sinatra or a Lily Pons to qualify for the choir. However, being able to carry a tune as well as reading music is a must. This year the choir was made-up of sixty-four mixed voices. The outstanding event of the year was the presentation of Handel ' s Messiah. At Thanksgiving time the choir sang a few numbers for the assembly program. In the annual spring concert it rendered a variety of songs including Gallia.

At Christmas time the Girls ' Glee Club sang the traditional carols in the corridors.

To qualify for membership in the organization a required number of points must be earned. These points are earned in various ways, such as: selling waste paper and grease, working for teachers, bringing in old clothing, selling holly wreaths, attending church, and various other ways, too numerous to mention. All the activities and projects which the Sunshine Society does are planned by girls in this group. This year they made plans for the holly wreath sale, initiation, Big and Little Sister Plan, and numerous other items which were undertaken by the society. The Honor Group holds its meetings during the noon hour. As the girls eat their lunches together they make important plans for the Sunshine Society to consider at their regular meetings.

This year our local Sunshine Society, which promotes happiness, good cheer, and higher ideals, had a membership of over two-hundred girls. Sunshine, which is a state and national society, is recognized as being one of the finest organizations for high-school girls. The activities of the society were many in number and great in importance. At the beginning of the year new members were initiated at a beautiful and im- pressive service. During the year the Sunshine girls carried-out the plan of Big and Little Sisters. Each member had a special friend for whom she did nice things, secretly. At a party held in the spring the sisters were revealed. Around Christmas time the annual holly-wreath sale was sponsored with in- dividual sales reaching an all-time high. Baskets of food and clothing were sent as gifts to poor families. The girls erected a pretty Christmas scene on the balcony above the front entrance of the school building. Several projects were completed by the S. S. S. At Thanksgiving an assembly program was sponsored. Toward the latter part of the year the girls donated money to be given to the Riley Hospital Fund. To sum up everything about the Sunshine Society the creed is best suited. With love in my heart, forgetting self, and with charity for all, I will make the object of my life helpfulness and kindness to others. I shall try to fit myself with intelligent service in making my community a safer and more beautiful place in which to live. Thus will my own life become rich and complete.

The chemistry and science clubs combined this year, and the result was a bigger and better organization than ever. This group was called the Science Club , and was comprised of nearly one hundred fifty students who were interested in the field of science. Under the capable co-sponsorship of Mr. Beck and Mr. Needham, the club met regularly the second and fourth Tuesday night of each month. Meetings consisted primarily of two parts, business and entertainment. In- cluded in entertainment were games, refreshments, and programs. These pro- grams proved educational as well as entertaining. The more serious type of pro- grams consisted of lectures and demonstrations, given by speakers and advanced science students who performed interesting laboratory experiments. As a special project the Science Club sponsored several auditorium programs which were intended to further interest in the science department. Scientific tours were made through various local plants and industries. To- wards the latter part of the school year, the members made a trip to Greenfield Village near Detroit, Michigan.

Worthwhile and enjoyable reading is found in the ten pages of feature articles, literary col- umns, humor writings, club news, and advertisements. Tomahawk staff members are chosen because they show a special talent or in- terest in the field of journalism. This year twenty-six new members were initiated, making an unusually large staff of twenty-four seniors and eleven juniors.

The constitution of the organization calls for meetings once a month at which time members submit manuscripts to be read. This constructive criticism, given to the writers of these manuscripts, is for the purpose of helping the members attain a better quality of writing. Thirteen new members were accepted into Scribblers ' this year. Those students whose pictures do not appear are: Alice Stemen, Marjalie Swihart, Mary Ann Ste- men, Barbara Riffe, Doug Weaver, Sara Stookey, Harold Miller, Beverly Brown, Roger Stemen, George Vlassis, Richard Sage, Barbara Bassett, Arleta Miller, and Martha Kercher.

The Senior Hi-Y is comprised of junior and senior boys interested in creating, maintaining, and extending throughout the school and community the high stand- ards of Christian character. In November and January, formal initiations were conducted for new mem- bers. This year the club was twenty-one in number. The organization took part in various activities throughout the year. At Christmas time the boys and their guests enjoyed a party which included caroling. As a school project, it undertook decorating for the Messiah concert presented during the holiday season. A swimming party was held at the Elkhart Y. M. C. A. Two banquets were given; one for the members only, and the other was a father and son affair. Representatives from the club attended the State Older Boys ' Conference at Indianapolis for two days. All officers went to the Officers ' Conference held at Indianapolis in the spring. The Hi-Y Executive Council, which is made up of officers and award winners, met with the sponsor, Mr. Schenck, on Tuesday noons to plan ahead and settle unfinished business.

The initiation ceremonies were held in November and officers were elected at the following meeting. The Hi-Y stands for clean manner, speech, study, and service and a worth- while life for school and community. Each member tries to fit himself to live such a life. Several delegates were sent to conferences held at Elkhart and Indianapolis. The club donated one-hundred dollars to the State Y. M. C.

The purpose of the Pan-American Club is to familiarize its members with the Latin American countries and to promote a better understanding between the Americas. This year the forty-six members of the club were led by a new and capable sponsor, Mrs. Buckwalter. They chose as their motto Siemper delatite de otros meaning Always before others. To become a member of the Pan-American Club the student must be en- rolled in a Spanish class or have studied the language at sometime during his high school career. In order to retain membership, it is necessary to attend at least four meetings during a semester. At meetings held throughout the year entertainment included speakers who had visited various Latin American countries. Parties, where Spanish became the language for the evening, were enjoyed by the group. The most outstanding project completed by the membership this year was the presentation of an assembly program on Pan-American Day. This entertaining per- formance cleverly illustrated Latin American ideals and customs.

However, upon its affiliation with the state and national organization in December of 1945, the group adopted the official name, The Future Homemakers of America. Membership in this club is open to all girls who are or have been enrolled in a home economics class in high school. The total membership of the organization this year was seventy-five girls. The purpose of the F. H. A. is to promote the appreciation of the joys and satisfaction in homemaking and to work toward a better home and family life. The motto, Toward New Horizons best expresses this purpose. One of the high-lights of the year was sponsoring a style show for a popular pattern company.

The Health Council, organized to promote better health habits throughout the school, has continued its contributions to the health room and school building, in general. Every September, three freshmen girls are traditionally chosen for the Council. This year Pat Whittle, Jane Mills, and Jane Tilley were selected as new members. The Health Council sponsored the Red Cross drive here at school, sold material for the United Relief Fund, and as their most outstanding project played cupid for the Singing Valentine sale on February 13. To climax the year ' s activities, the senior members were honored at a dinner given by the freshmen girls.

Member- ship to the society, a purely honorary organization, is based on scholarship pri- marily, with leadership, service, and character considered. The National Honor Society is a nation-wide organization for the purpose of encouraging scholarships. Members of this society proudly wear the national emblem, a small gold shield with a flaming torch. The group, which is composed of five per cent of the junior class and fifteen per cent of the senior class, had a picnic in the spring.

LaRue. The Auto Mechanics Department has been a part of the school curriculum for twenty-five years. When it was first organized, there was some doubt as to the suc- cess of the department. During the ensuing years it truly proved its worth, and now Auto Mechanics is considered one of the most important and beneficial courses offered. The class, under the capable instruction of Mr. Kintigh, is comprised of care- fully selected senior boys. There is a great demand for boys to work in shops doing mechanical repairs; and the department has never been able to fill all these de- mands. After completing the course, the students are not full-fledged mechanics; but they have acquired a foundation upon which to build a successful trade. Pop and his boys, as they are often called, are one of the most popular groups among the students and faculty. New equipment has been installed in the department recently, and it is con- sidered one of the best auto mechanics departments in the state. The Latin Club or Circulus Intimus is made up of a group of 84 students. These members have taken Latin I-II or Caesar. The purpose of this club is to ac- quaint those interested in Latin with the customs and language of the Romans. The club ' s projects through the school year consisted of donating books con- cerning Latin to the library, sponsoring an annual pie sale, giving a Roman banquet, and supporting such benefits as the Red Cross. One of the outstanding events of the year was the program given at the Junior High School. This program was of spe- cial interest to those coming into high school next year. It pointed out some of the high lights of all Latin language, its use and the activities pertaining to Latin. The meetings were held every three weeks. At some of these meetings skits were presented by club members portraying the life of the Romans. At other times we were entertained by outside speakers. The social events of the year were high-lighted by a gala Christmas party. Christmas carols were sung in Latin. A Doctor I. Q. Quiz proved to be very entertaining and after refreshments were served, Santa Claus passed out gifts to all.

The purpose of the Student Council is to represent the students, sustain the high standards of the school, cultivate academic interest, promote school loyalty, and encourage cooperation among all elements. The Council is composed of five elected members from each class and the class president. The term of office for all representatives is one semester. The officers consist of a president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer. The president is elected in the previous semester and is not classed as a representative during his term of office. The Council meets once every two weeks on school time discussing matters of benefit to the students. The sponsor sits in on these meetings and gives suggestions. Permanent committees appointed by the president are: Citizenship, Scholarship, Sportsmanship, Maintenance, Program, and Publicity. The group ' s main project for the year was to support the suggested pupil re- sponsibilities that the Council and faculty discussed thoroughly. These were com- piled into eight statements and presented before the student body who gave their approval. Another project for the year was sponsoring the concessions for the Goshen Relays.

Football for 1947 Redskins Drop Opener A wet and muddy field was the scene of the Goshen Redskins ' first defeat. Fort Wayne Central was led by their negro star, John- ny Bright, who scored three touchdowns, to defeat Goshen 32 to 12. Brown and LaRue tallied for the Redskins. Doug Weaver and Ned Lantz played outstanding on defense. Redskins Scalp Indians Playing before the first home crowd, an improved Redskin team downed a fighting South Bend Central Catholic team 13 to 7. Baker recovered a C. C. fumble on their twenty-five. This put in motion a drive, and as a climax Brown scored from the six yard line. He scored again in the fourth quarter. Central Catholic scored in the closing seconds of the game. Robinson and Baker played heads- up on defense. Eagles Too Much For Redskins Scoring in all but the second quarter, the John Adams Eagles swamped Goshen 20 to 0. Bill Roberts and Joe Howell proved to be too much for the home team. Goshen rallied late in the third quarter, but this proved to be harmless. Redskins Over Power Red Devils Goshen completely out-played the visitors from the Prison City to win 19 to 6. Brown scored to end a 64 yard drive. City scored on a 65 yard pass from Ciolek to Wilson. Then Stan Lewal- len chucked a perfect pass into the waiting arms of Tink LaRue. The last score came as a result of a blocked punt by Edwards, which was recovered across the goal line by Bob Hay, tackle. The line play was something terrific. Mishawaka Upset By Redskins The Redskins played the best game of the season, when they defeated the Cavemen 6 to 0. Brown scored from the one foot line, which climaxed an eighty-three yard march. This was the first time in the history of Tupper Field that a Goshen team had ever defeated a Mishawaka team there. The line play was sparked by Heine Hatten, Carl Rhein- heimer and Doug Weaver. James Phcnd, Ralph Peterson, Donald Yoder. Burdette Hoke. The Coaches Second Team FRONT ROW (left to right): W. Edwards, W. Reasoner, R. Stenien. L. Baker, G. Vlassis, N. Lewallen, D.

Roof Caves In On Redskins Dick Alban and Company scored thirty-two points in the first half to wallop Goshen 39 to 0. Steeb and Alban were the big guns for the Slicers. A rejuvenated Redskin team came out in the second half to hold LaPorte to seven points, but the Redskins were still unable to score. Redskins Halt Cadets A Howe fumble near the goal line, recovered by Robinson, set up the first Goshen touchdown. On the third play Brown went over from the two yard line. An intercepted pass sent the Red- skins on their way for another touchdown. Dave Cozzi carried this one over. The Cadets never threatened during the entire game. Hartzler and Cozzi, spear-headed the G. H. S. attack, and the final score was, Goshen 12 and Howe 0! Blazers Defeat Goshen Goshen and Elkhart fought a scoreless and thrilling first half, but the Blazers scored once in the third and twice in the fourth quarter to beat Goshen 18 to 6. With eighteen seconds left in the game, Brown scooted around left end, from the eight, to score the only Goshen touchdown. Reasoner and Headley sparked the defense. Panther Powerhouse Runs Over Goshen Bobby Robertson and his Washington team mates skinned Goshen to the tune of 52 to 0. Jack Beachy intercepted a Panther pass and advanced it far into Washington territory. The Panther defense stiffened and Goshen lost the ball on downs. The Redskins fought until the final gun. This was the last game for the following seniors. LaRue, Rob- inson, Edwards, Headley, Reasoner, Vlassis, Lantz, Rheinheimer, Baker, Capt. Weaver, Beachy, Hartzler, Cozzi, and Stotts. Jim Cotherman, Senior Manager, also served for the last time. —J. C. and P. S. Coach Don iiiIiii The 1947 Squad FIRST ROW (left to right): C. Rheinheimer, N. Lantz, S. Lewallen, L. Baker, D.

Goshen played ragged brand of ball as football was only completed just two weeks before. Robinson and Fult being the only returned veterans paced the Redskins while Carmein was high for the Pirates. Goshen Nips Warsaw With another week of practice under their belts the Redskins showed much improvement in the defeat of the Tigers with a score of 42 to 41. Jack Fult was high with 17 points, while team- mate Robinson followed with 13 points. Goshen Skins Cubs Goshen traveled to New Paris to drop one of the stronger teams of the county 43 to 34. This score resulted from the much improved ball-handling and smooth playing of the teams. Again Goshen was paced with veteran Fult, who tallied IS points. Branson and Strycker had 13 and 11 respectively. Goshen Wins Third Straight For the third consecutive week Goshen has been on the long end of the score. This time Nappanee was the Redskins ' victim, falling by a score of 38 to 32. Fult again led both teams in scor- ing with a high of 22 points. Goshen Trounces Middies After a slow start, the Redskins beat Middlebury 42-29. With the halftime score at 17-10, the Redskins scored 25 points in the last two periods. Fult, Robinson, and Branson paced the attack. Riley Cats Win Wayne Wakefield ' s Riley Cats poured 54 points through the hoop to win over Goshen by the score of 54-31. In the fourth period alone, Riley made 15 points. The base of the Riley attack was composed of Overhoster and Stout. Coach Paul Underwuuil FIRST ROW (left to right): P. Grush, G. Gcrbcr, B. Burt. D.

Indians Scalp Redskins The Wakarusa team won a 43-28 point victory over Goshen. There was too much Bemiller and Moyer in the Indians attack. They scored 36 of their team ' s 43 points while teammate Rohrer made the other seven. Yoder, Branson, and LaRue made 9, 8 and 9 points respectively. John Adams Trips Goshen The Redskins, playing in their first conference tilt, were de- feated by the Adams ' Eagles, 42 to 39. The Redskins fought gamely but were unable to make up the half time advantage 22 to 14. The Truex twins from South Bend starred with 30 points between them while Fult, Strycker, and Robinson paced the Redskins attack with 15, 10, and 10, respectively. Elkhart Jinx Continues Elkhart ' s Blue Blazers whipped the Redskins for the 13th straight time. The score, being 23 to 18 at the half in favor of the Blazers, wound up at the end of the game, 46 to 28. Lambden, Longfellow, and McCloughen had 14, 13, and 11, points respec- tively. Goshen again was paced by Fult with 11 points and Robin- son with 8 points. This was another conference battle. Cavemen Triumph Over Goshen Losing their second straight conference game, the Redskins were overpowered by a strong Mishawaka five, 56 to 45. Since the Cavemen were able to hit from all spots on the floor, the scor- ing mounted fast in their favor. Vernasco with 15 points and teammate Nichols with 13, paced the winners. Redskins Blast Minute Men Getting back on the road to victory, Goshen beat Concord 45 to 36. The Concord Minute Men were outfought the whole game by a fighting Redskin five. The scoring was divided equally for the Redskins with Fult on top with 16 points. Holiday Tourney Goshen lost to the Rochester Zebras in the afternoon session, the score being 41 to 38. The Goshen team lead most of the way but were nosed out in the final seconds by the Zebras. In the evening games Goshen met Valparaiso and beat them 36 to 28. The Redskins outfought the Crusaders the entire game. The Redskins were represented on all the tourney teams by Jack Fult, Stan Strycker, and Paul Branson. Fult led all the players in the scoring, with 28 points for two games. LaPorte came out on top in the finals by downing Rochester. Coach Tom Savine The Frnsh Team FIRST ROW (left to right): C.

The Redskins were on the heels of North Side through the first three-quarters but gradually fell out of reaching distance. Their tall rangy center hit for 14 points, but was nosed out, for scoring honors, by Fult who had 15 points. LaPorte Triumphs A powerful LaPorte Slicers ' outfit tumbled the Redskins to defeat by a score of 47-36. Although the Redskins played hard throughout the entire game, the Slicers ' Baumgartner and Baker were too much for them. They scored 11 and 13 points respectively while Jack Fult led the Redskins with 15 points. Central Bears Tough The Bears hit an amazing 45 per cent of their shots from the field to humble the Redskins 69-36. Goshen rallied in the second quarter but to no avail. Bond, Morrical, Davis, and Santa were the sharpshooters for the Bears. Each made over 10 points. Strycker and Fult led Goshen in their scoring attack. Bulldogs Whip Redskins The Nappanee Bulldogs proved to be just too much for the Redskins; and when the final gun sounded, the Redskins were on the short end of a 40-30 score. Anglin and Hershberger teamed up together to score 27 of their team ' s 40 points. Washington Slips By Goshen The Panthers displayed a well-balanced scoring attack to win over Goshen 34-25. Although the Panthers led the Redskins by only 3 points in the last period, the Goshen lads couldn ' t catch them. LaRue was tops for Goshen with 8 points. Blazers ' Victorious Again A fighting Redskin team took the floor against Elkhart, but the Blazers were on the long end of the 38-24 score. At halftime Elkhart led Goshen by one point. Lambden totaled 24 points in the game and became red hot for the Blazers in the third and fourth quarters; 19 of his points were made in the final two periods. Strycker made 13 points while Lewallen tallied 6. City Conquerors Redskins The Redskins were nosed out by the Red Devils. The Goshen Redskins fought tooth and nail the whole game but lost 42-38. The teams were never over six points from each other from start to finish. Michigan City led by just one point at the half. Two tall boys, Ciolek and Steingbom, tallied 24 of the Devils points while Branson, Strycker, and LaRue made 16, 8, and 6, respectively for Goshen. This was the last game of the regular season. SECTIONAL TOURNEY Jimtown vs. Goshen Goshen drew Jimtown for the first game. The Redskins nosed out the Jimmies by the score of 34-32. Playing good ball the en- tire game, the Redskins finally came out on top. Frog Yoder with 13 points led the Redskins to their victory. Lewallen made 6 points. By winning this game, the Redskins gained the honors of meeting Wakarusa the same night. Redskins vs. Indians Tired from their afternoon game, the Redskins were dropped from the sectional tourney by the Wakarusa Indians. The score was 39-35. The effect of the afternoon game could be seen on the faces of all the Goshen lads. Mover and Bemiller led the Indians ' attack while Rankin made 9 points for Goshen. Prospects Look Good! Coach Tom Sovine ' s little Palefaces ended the season with 9 wins and 11 losses. Two of these losses came from the Mishawaka tourney for the B teams. The squad was composed of Swihart, Tilley, Rankin, Ronk, Hoogenboom, Shaum, Oswald, Gerber, Burt, Grush, Davenport, and Chrisman. Oswald and Rankin led the Palefaces in their scoring attack for the entire season. A few of the boys look like outstanding material for next year ' s varsity. Coach Sovine ' s boys met some unusually tall second teams this year, and Michigan City was no exception. FIRST ROW (left to right): R. Stanley Strycker, Herbert Tillev, Jerry O ' Neill.

Crass Country Team The Girls ' Athletic Association One of the most entertaining and beneficial organizations in G. H. S. is the Girls ' Athletic Association. Often referred to as the G. A. A. , its purpose is to promote better sportsmanship and to interest girls in various sports. The activities of the group are many. An initiation service was held in Decem- ber for girls who had met the requirements for new members. During the year the club instigated a noon time program whereby girls could participate in basket- ball, volley ball, and Softball tournaments. This provided a form of recreation for G. A. A. members as well as other girls interested in athletics. Several parties were enjoyed by the membership and their guests. These in- cluded several swimming parties, a dance, and a hobo party. At the end of the year a banquet was held to honor the senior members and to welcome the newly-elected officers for the ensuing year. THE OFFICERS FOR 1947-48 President Leona Miller Vice President.

Jerry Rarick won the mile and set a new relay record in winning this event. Wayne VanderRyden placed third in pole vaulting, while three of the Goshen Relay teams placed second, second and fourth. In the sprint relay, Brown, Fult, Newell, and Weaver, wound up second. The Medley Relay team, composed of Rarick, Rockenbaugh, Fields, and Newell, also took second. Rankin, E. Sullivan, J. Cripe, and G. Peffley, who ran in the mile relay, placed fourth. Due to unfavorable weather conditions many of the spectators were absent from the meet.

The Cheer Leaders cc22V23l Literary - - Snapshots - - Features The Male According to biologists and other students of the human species, there are two sexes. This learned group of people goes still further and says these sexes are male and female, the latter group being credited as the more intelligent of the two. Let us go more fully into the subject of the male. Much has been written on the Bobby- soxer , but the Goon — oops, I mean the male has been sadly neglected. The ego of this specimen is astounding, but his true knowledge is small. In order to keep this lack concealed at all times, he bluffs; and need- less to say, at all times, he is caught. When asked a question in class, he mutters That wasn ' t in our book, was it? After the inevitable Cer- tainly, he searches for some reply; and at last he emerges from the depths of his — shall we be bold and call it mind for lack of a better term — with My book ' s prob ' ly different from you guys. This strikes him as being one of the best comebacks of his school career, and for the remainder of the period at odd intervals he dis- rupts the class with throaty chuckles. At any social gathering he is much in evidence as the hostess ' s delight. He moves aimlessly about, now and then knocking over a chair or vase. He has no preference, either will do. This naturally puts more life into the party — into the hostess, too. As she, with a tight, strained smile on her lips, follows him, righting chairs and pick- ing up the remnants of a once beautiful vase, she vows never again to include Wonder Boy in any future plans. As the evening wears on, some talented person steps up to the piano and plays Beethoven ' s Fifth Movement or the Hungarion Dance, Number Four. Others follow suit, and our hero, not wish- ing to be outdone, gives forth a most unusual ren- dition of Old Dog Tray. Any resemblance to the original composition is purely accidental. Upon hearing this novel number, Stephen Foster moans and turns over in his grave. But let us not suppose Wonder Boy to be en- tirely stupid. As a matter of fact he is quite effi- cient with a yo yo and many other mechanical de- vices. All joking aside, what would we do without him? — Barbara Riffe. Ma ' s Sick Since Ma ' s tonsils have been out for over a week, My dish pan hands are beginning to speak. The dishes I wash as clean as I can, But my brother just tosses them back in the pan. Now the cooking is another thing, With the hamburgers now reigning supreme. They ' ve been creamed and roasted, barbecued and fried, And in our dreams ' til we almost died. Naturally there ' s the cleaning, but, oh, what a mess ! And the dusting gets more instead of less. For sweeping, I do that in rows, And pretend that Fm fighting Patton ' s foes. Now the week is drawing to a close, But not one of my efforts even shows. And now with my heart, I hope and pray That Ma ' s tonsils are out to stay. — Don Fiedeke. 10:39 — Confusion in the hall 10:40 11:05 The bell rings and study hall 28 begins studying. Silence.

OH, Well ! ! ! 3 ss °Fl948 This year the seniors gave the three act comedy, Tish , an adaptation of one of Mary Roberts Rinehart ' s widely heralded stories, and one of the most entertaining productions ever presented in the Goshen High School auditorium. A student matinee of the hilarious play was rendered on March 11th, and on the evening of March 12 th, a public showing was given before a capacity crowd. Both performances were rated as true successes and kept the audiences rolling in laughter for two and one-half hours. fhe Senior Class Play The scene for the entire play of Tish is a hotel in Southwestern United States near the Mexican Border. Letitia Carberry (Tish) a mid- dle-aged, blunt, outspoken, but entirely lovable spinster who is vacationing there together with her two boon companions, Lizzie and Aggie, race through the modern story with rapid pace, getting themselves into and out of more jams than you can shake a stick at. Tish , under the direction of Miss Barbra Zook, was the Class of ' 48 ' s one and only class play during their high school career. The cast of characters, all of whom turned in remarkable performances, was: Tish Carberry Phyllis Rockenbaugh Aggie Eleanor Long Lizzie Fran Kidney Ellen Leighton Carol Kaser Charlie Sands Don Fiedeke Luther Hopkins Doug Weaver Sheriff Lem Pike Jim Cotherman Callie Hopkins Barbara Riffe Denby Grimes Jim Drummond Dorice Gaylord Joan Huffman Bettina Trent Nona Mae Grush Wesley Andrews Bob Chiddister Charita Kate Ogle — Martha Kercher. The Fighting Littles Class of 1949 eno%u m The Junior Class Play On December 11, 1947, The Fighting Littles , a three act play by Caroline Francke, was pre- sented by the junior class under the direction of Miss Barbra Zook. The play depicts the Littles, a family with opinions of their own. Every family in the world suffers from the misunderstandings of two gener- ations, but not many of them are as explosive about their conflictions as the Littles. Each Little has his own idea of the way life should be lived; and all of them say so, except Mother Little who is too busy trying to keep peace. The fireworks really begin when Daddy Little finds all his daughter ' s friends young hoodlums and Ham Ellers the worst young hoodlum of the lot. Mr. Little thinks young love should begin at a Sun- day School picnic as it did in his day. He has his own candidate for his daughter ' s affections, Norman. By a series of painful surprises Mr. Little discovers that young hoodlums can be quite solid people after all. Then there is Eilmer. Filmer can ' t keep out of trouble. Filmer has a deep inner urge to be a hero, or a villain, any- thing but commonplace; and Filmer has his own trouble with love, quite as desperate to him as Goody ' s is to her. The quick-tempered Littles squabble their way through differences in view- point and ridiculous situations without knowing how funny they are. Only when the battle royal is over do they discover that they have learned to understand each other and are really a united family; and Mr. Little finds that young folk aren ' t going to the dogs after all.

There ' s a fad going ' round The whole country, we guess And the crazy thing calls for A long-skirted dress. Very few inches From floor to the hem And if this keeps up There ' ll soon be none of them! Girls don ' t trip gaily Down halls anymore They walk very sloivly — Or land on the floor. Student Council ' s not bothered By their running to lunch ' Cause the long-skirted femmes Always follow the bunch. And teachers — take note All the girls will assert That for lateness to class Don ' t blame them — blame the skirt! So here ' s to the boys Who never will see Those cute little legs From ankle to knee. And here ' s to the girls Who follow the fad. They ' ve got lots more courage Then we thought they had! The Rossville Lectur ' Course by James Whitcomb Riley Folks up here at Rossville got up a Lectur ' Course; — All the leadin ' citizens they wuz out in force; Met and talked at Williamses ' , and ' greed to meet ag ' in; And helt another corkus when the next reports wuz in: Met ag ' in at Samuelses ' ; and met ag ' in at Moore ' s And johnts putt the shutters up and jest barr ' d the doors! — And yit, I ' ll jest be dagg-gon ' d! eft didn ' t take a week ' Fore we ' d settled whare to write to git a man to speak! Found out whare the Bureau wuz; and then and thare agreed To strike whilse the iron ' s hot and foller up the lead. — Simp wuz Secatary; so he tuk his pen in hand, And ast ' em what they ' d tax usfer the one on Holy Land One of Colonel J. DeKoomb ' s Abelust and Best Lectur ' s, the circ ' lar stated, Give East or West! Wanted fifty dollars and his kyar-fare to and from, And Simp wuz hence instructed fer to write him not to come. Then we talked and jawled around another week er so, And write the Bureau bout the town a-bein ' sorto ' slow — Old-fogey-like, and pore as dirt, and lackin ' interprise, And i gnornter ' n any other, ' cordin ' to its size; Tel finully the Bureau said they ' d send a cheaper man Fer forty dollars, who would give A Talk About Japan — A reg ' lar Japanee hise ' f, the pamphlet claimed; and so, Nobody knowed his languige, and of course we let him go! Kindo ' then let up a spell — but rallied onc ' t ag ' in, And write to price a feller on what ' s called the violin — A Swede, er Pole, er somepin ' — but no matter what he wuz, Doc Cooper said he ' d heerd him, and he wuzn ' t wuth a kuss! And then we ast fer Stvingse ' s terms; and Cook, and Iugersoll — And blame! ef forty dollars looked like anything at all! And then Burdelte, we tried fer him; and Bob he writ to say He wuz busy writin ' ortographts and couldn ' t git away. At last — along in Aprile — we signed to take this-here Bill Nye of Californy, ' at wuz posted to appear The Comicalest Funny Man at Ever Jammed a Hall! So we made big preperations, and swep ' out the church and all! And night he wuz to lectur ' , and the neighbors all wuz thare, And strangers packed along the aisles ' at come from ev ' rywhare, Committee got a telegrapht the preacher read ' at run — Got off at Rossville, Indiany, ' stid of Michigun. Finis Now our high school career comes to an end. This career covered four important years of prog- ressive educational development, the development of wisdom that enables us to direct our feudin ' and fightin ' into constructive channels. We have learned the value of feudin ' — the kind of feudin ' that emphasizes the importance of cooperation and individual self-reliance. We have learned the value of fightin ' — fightin ' for the team and the school — the kind of fightin ' that develops the spirit of true citizenship. These things we have learned through the sym- pathetic guidance of an understanding faculty. We take our leave to enter an uneasy world with confidence and pride — confidence in what we have learned, and pride in Goshen High School. —J. D. Reid. jUL- Autographs Courtesy of I. A.
