These small keys have unlocked the door to friend- ship, knowledge, success, and happiness; and to the future. There are many keys — door keys, locker keys, car keys, honor keys. We have chosen these ordinary, common keys as symbolic of all the keys to G.H.S. to guide you through the 955 Crimson. GOSHEN KEYS GOSHEN HIGH SCHOOL GOSHEN, IND. Yea! Goshen!

We will long remember their willingness to work with us. Mrs. Robert Garwood The class of 53 also wishes to extend appreciation to Miss Kyler and Mr. Gerig, who led us through our freshman year, and to Mr. Owings for his guidance during our sophomore year. Mr. Charles Hart and what, sir, do you think? Tma not know just, whata to say, I ' ma getta so nervous when I ' ma talka this way. You aska me what I ma think. I see When I ' ma Iooka at da class of ' 55 . I ' ma see all de kiddies whena they laugh anda they shout. Ina the class rooms and halls, ina the inside or out. But mostly I ' ma Iika de games and the sports, There sa basketball, feetaball, games of all sorts. Leetle Pug, he sa runna all over de field Lika dat fella Mercury, he ' sa winged heeled. Anda sturdy anda strong, dat Beachy he blocks I ' ma think he ' sa gotta cast iron socks. Whena they shoota them balls, they whoosha right through; Shank, he sa lad that knowsa what to do. I ' ma lika dat Forgatsch, he ' sa pretty fast boy. He ' sa weave in and outa like da wounda-up-toy. Yes, I ' ma lika dat class, it ' sa gotta good stuff, The feetaball, basketball, ita getsa rough; But I ma lika dose lads, so you canna see. I ' ma lika da whole class of fifaty three. But. Monsieur, such a question, eet s not hard to say, Een fact, I shall tell you, zat ees, eef I may. Zee boys and zee girls, zay are to me, Zee sparkling highlights of zis class, ' 55. Oh. to me, eet ees dances and parties so gay Zay stand out like jewels een a brilliant array. Zay capture zee thought, zee mind is awhirl Eet ees a Utopia, for each boy zere s a girl. Zee Senior dances een zee Chamberlain gym Zee music ees sweet, for each her zere ' s a him. Zere ees a piece. Hot Toddy eet s named To eet. couples whirl and romances are named. Zee floor shows, zee, how you say, sessions of pep? Zay show to zee public zis class ees een step. Zee plays bring success, zay bring money, too, Zay show what zis class really can do.

Zere s but one thing to say Monsieur zat is Oui. ♦ Oh, I say, old man, it ' s not hard at all, To discuss this class, it s rather a ball, The students, ah yes, an outstanding group Such vim and vigor as to classes they troup. 1 he fact that impresses me really, you know. Is the group s intellect, outstandings — quite so. In classes they study, oh, a few pranks are played. All seem to expect that, though tempers are frayed. Shakespeare and his cronies take the limelight King Arthur ' s brave knights are a bit of all right. Miss Zook and her Thespians, a jolly fine lot Quoting from Shakespeare, Macbeth and Hamlet. I say, old man, the question arises For the uncommonest jest do they ever give prizes. In Prof. Yoder ' s class an odd thing occurred Robert Brinklow made believe he was a bird. Ah yes, my good friend, it s easy to say This class is what you might call okay A problem? Not at all for you may readily see I ' m awfully fond of this class, 55. I thank you, dear sirs, for being so kind As to answer the question I had in mind. The answers you ' ve given are pleasing On this topic the class of ' 55 .

Longfellow) Under a dying apple tree A baby cockroach stands Pursued— a frightened bug is he, He fears pursuer s hands. And the deafening pounding in his ears Resembles concert bands. Which way to turn, which way to go, The bug is undecided. A noise — the cockroach crouches low But no, the beast has hided. And like a fool he makes a run — Too late, the bird, he lighted. —Sue Farrell This page sponsored by . . . American Laundry junior class CLASS OF 1954 Eight long years of being in grade school and wishing to be in High School were finally over. September 1950 found us, the class of 54 , entering the doors of long awaited G.H.S., at long last. Our freshman year was very successful under the fine leadership of Miss Ethel Grogg and Mr. Harold Kastner. We were sophomores in the fall of 1951 and what a memorable year it was. Our hidden (?) talent came forward and our variety show, Fuedin , Fussin , Flirtin . presented May 16, 1952, was a great success. Two years have passed quickly and we are at last upper classmen. Mr. Ralph Anderson, who replaced Mr. RoIIin Hoover, and Miss Orogg are our ever-helpful sponsors. Under their capable leadership we have had a most successful class play, One Foot in Heaven, and an outstanding Junior-Senior Prom and Dance. Officers this year were: President Robert Backus Vice President Frank McCIoskey Secretary Linda Smalley Treasurer Terry Seaman Sergeant-at-arms Mary Ann Gill James Beaupre Sponsors Miss Grogg Mr. Anderson This page sponsored by . . .

WILBUR TREAT. ANNA MAE WILLSEY, DAROLD the wastebasket An old wastebasket! What a dull subject! Yes. it is just an ordinary tin wastebasket like those found in every classroom in every school, but unexciting? Oh, no! This wastebasket calls room 302 home. Thus it is an intelligent well- spoken wastebasket and never splits an infinitive or leaves a participle dangling. Sometime it intends to write its memoirs, Tales from a Wastebasket. This wastebasket avidly reads all material dumped into him, for he is hoping to find another Shakespeare. So far, his labors have been in vain. It seems as though these modern students would rather shoot water pistols than write plays. This wastebasket has a high moral character and will absolutely, positively. never disclose any secrets. How he wishes he could tell about that one note wrote breaking their date. The wastebasket was forced to hide his blushing face behind an old sheet of paper, because the language in the epistle was so shocking! Does a wastebasket have troubles? Of course! Of great tribulation to him is Miss Zook and her flowers! It ' s so embarrassing to him to have flower stems sticking out of his ribs, when he tries so hard to be in the top ten of the best dressed wastebaskets. Now do you think he s just an ordinary wastebasket? .—Barbara Weaver 77.; s page sponsored i by . . .

The publication holds membership in the National Scholastic Press Association and has been awarded first class honor rating on several occasions. The purpose of the Crimson is to provide a permanent record of Goshen High School life, programs, and activities. The staff is composed of seniors who have scholastic, literary, artistic, and executive ability. The educational benefits derived by the staff are numerous. Not only do the members received practical training in writing and business, but also they learn to assume responsibilities in a project that involves co-operation among themselves and with the public. The editor of the 1952 Crimson is Patsy Rupholdt and assistant editors are Barbara Weaver and Sarah Newell. Business personnel are under the direction of Richard Leavitt. These include: Suzanne Baker. Ronnie Kiester, Edward Heyde, Dave Landaw, and Betty Lou Bicfeel. Guidance is given to all by the sponsor, Miss Eda Margaret Barnes.

As usual, the club s well equipped darkroom is available to all club members during each day s extra- curricular period. This fact makes it possible for a beginning shutter-bug ' to launch himself full scale into a most interesting hobby field without the usual expense involved in setting up what can soon be a costly darkroom of his own. As an additional item of equipment, members may also use the club camera complete with flash gun, carrying case and tripod— thus are the member s photographic interests enriched. The purpose of the club is to increase a member ' s knowledge and interest in the great American sport of picture snapping. Having fun with a camera in a group such as this is a positive method of promoting a sound healthy spirit of cooperative endeavor and fellowship. OFFICERS FOR 1952-1955 President John A.

Coached by Hugh Jones, they made an excellent showing. Juniors Randy Oswald, Bing Pratt, Dick Hinckley, and Gerald Edwards combined with Seniors Joe Shank and Nico Wiese to win many honors. The underclassmen on the team consisted of Clayton Emmert, Eddie Nelson and Larry Eldridge. The Goshen scpjad should be strong next year due to the fact they will lose only two seniors. Due credit should be given to Randy Oswald who earned a trip to state and won twenty-fifth out of one hundred sixty-two runners. GOSHEN HIGH SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY Goshen 50— Adams 15.

Plymouth ' s Pilgrims captured the Class B crown with 37 points, four better than runnerup Garrett could muster. Kendallville, Rochester, and South Whitley were bunched in third with 30 counters each. With four out of five relay teams bringing home blue ribbons Froebel cornered 47 points to edge second place Elkhart. The Blue Blazers tallied 4l ' i points to finish ahead of third place Hammond with 5Q points. South Bend s four representative finished far down the A list of 17 teams. Central paced the quartet with 12 points, good enough for 11th place. Riley wound up a notch behind with 1 1 Vl points while John Adams was finishing 15th with eight and Washington 15 with 5 74. THREE RECORDS FALL Three A records fell and a fourth was tied during the afternoon. Froebel s sprint relay squad gave a hint of things to come when they shattered Gary Roosevelt s :45.7 mark with a :45.2 effort in the meet s opening event. Michigan City ' s Braelon Donaldson and Hammond High s Jim Sane, the meets only individual double winners, took care of the other new marks. Donaldson cleared 12 feet 72 inch to win the pole vault and Sane lowered his own record in the 180-yard low hurdles to 20 seconds flat. Riley ' s John Abell skimmed over the high hurdles in a record-equalling : 15.2 effort in the preliminaries and was on his way to a finals triumph when he fell midway through the race. Abell was treated at Goshen Hospital for cuts and cinder burns. Sane, beaten by Abell in the prelims, went on to win the event in :13.Q. Donaldson collected his second trophy in the broad jump. leaping 21 feet four inches. WHITAKER TIES FOR FIRST Riley ' s Dick Whitaker won South Bend s only first place, sharing top spot in the high jump with Froebel s Eugene Greenlaw with a leap of five feet 10 inches. Three B standards also fell as Kendallville s Bob Cotner covered the 120-yard high hurdle distance in : 1 5.9: Whiting ' s John Allen did the 100 in 10.1: and Garrett s sprint medley team toured the distance in 1:35.7. Donaldson won A high point honors with 10 1 A points while Cotner captured the B cup with 1 1 V2 points. Froebel was the sixth straight Gary winner but fell far short of Roosevelt s winning 1952 total of 73V2 points. PATSY RUPHOLDT. SENIOR. CHOSEN QUEEN OF THE 1955 RELAYS Patsy Rupholdt. a senior, was chosen queen of the 1955 relays. A spirited contest resulted in the classes choosing Patsy as queen, with Sandra Haberstich, sophomore, Pat DeBaiggio, freshman, and Kay Holdread, junior, as her court of honor.

It is the story of Annie Oakley, the best shot in Darke County, who falls in love with Frank Butler, champion sharpshooter of the world, and travels the country with him in Buffalo Bill s Wild West Show. Frank ' s jealousy of Annies daring stunts overcomes him, and the two go separate ways- — Annie with Buffalo Bill and Frank with the hoted rival Pawnee Bill. But the two get back together again, only to end up having a match to settle once and for all who is the best shot. Before the match. Papa Bull makes Annie realize that she can t get a man with a gun, and the play ends in an exciting and unexpected climax.

The play was taken from the book of the same title by Hartzell Spence. The story concerned Reverend William Spence and his Iivelv familv and their troubles of moving into a new parish. Some of the many jobs that faced them were ridding the parish of racial prejudice and building a new church and parsonage. But Hartzell and Eileen, the two children faced problems of their own.

Should not our rich blessings inspire us with the very highest of ideals and make us realize the benefits obtained as high school students, of Goshen, Indiana, U. S. A.? We wish to thank our parents, our faculty, our city, our state, our government — for these eventful years spent here at Goshen High School. We are confident that all concerned will be well rewarded for their faith in the Class of 53. Thank you, Richard Leavitt, President president ' s address Fellow graduates, faculty, parents, and guests: We are assembled here this afternoon to honor the graduation class of 1953. I shall attempt to review for you the four wonderful years spent in G.H.S. We experienced the usual gayety, disappointments, fun. sorrows, and we trusts learning. We received these in a way common to the average American high school student. Now we realize that a tribute should be paid to those responsible for our education obtained here in our Alma Mater. Here in these rooms were spent the most important years of our lives. Now the time has come for us to leave. Some of us will shed tears, some will lake our departure less dramatically. But no matter how we feel about leaving— we know that to graduate from Goshen High School is an honor and a privilege. As individuals we owe Goshen High School a great debt. Here we have obtained culture, integrity, emotional stability, and the right to do our own thinking — free thinking. We should not forget the part that guidance has plaved towards solving our problems. Especially do we wish to thank our fine and loyal sponsors, Mrs. Robert Garwood and Mr. Charles Hart. They have asked for nothing in return for their hard work and long hours— but that the class succeed and be worthy citizens. As a class we owe much to our faculty who guided and trained us for the world of tomorrow. We fully realize that we are living and being educated in a democratic country where free public education gives hope and better under- standing to all youth, regardless of race, color, or creed. We have been taught to face the future which at times looks very uneasy and indeed, very dark. validictory If the entire population of the United States were wiped out tomorrow, their number would be less than the number of human beings who have died of violence, disease, or starvation in war or as a result of (war) during the last half centurv. This startling statement is from EDUCATION AND WORLD TRAGEDY written by Howard Mum ford Jones, a well-known professor and writer at Harvard. What will be the record for the next half century? That is our problem! Our instructors have tried to teach us more than the three R s. Have we learned this something more than the fundamentals? Have we learned to accept responsibility? Have we learned to understand ourselves and others well enough? Do we have a good uhilosophv of life— one that will sustain us in these perplexed times? Are we socially mature? Are we able to solve our emotional problems satisfactorily? Are we prepared for the public duties of active citizenship? Are we on our way to becoming loving and intelligent mothers and fathers of 1963 s children? We must be able to solve these problems satisfactorily today; for in order to be tomorrows leaders we must meet today s problems. During the twelve years we have spent in school we have learned to know and like many different people — friends our own age and our teachers. Although each of us has had different religious beliefs, different economic and social backgrounds, and, certainly, different personali- ties, we have worked together well as a class. Each of us has realized that the brotherhood of man must be a fact, not just an idealistic phrase or a dreamy hope. Do not all people want love, security, prestige, new experiences, and friend- ship? Do not each of the seven major religions of the world contain a Golden Rule which emphasizes the brotherhood of man? Each of us must use that Rule in our contacts with the girl or boy across the aisle, the D. P. family down the street, our friend in less fortunate circumstances as well as with our Asian, African, and other foreign friends. Each of us must work for peace. That means you and me! We, the class of 1953, are thankful that we live in a democracy where we have been given the opportunity for a free education. We realize that our democracy is not perfect, and that it is the duty of each of us to put democracy to work in more and more phases of our lives. Democracy is not a goal, but a way of life which we must practice day by day. Democracy is the way we treat our neighbor whose dog barks every night, as well as the way we elect our president. Democracy is understanding and respecting, not merely putting up with ' ' or tolerating, the beliefs and customs of other races and religions. What will democracy be like after a half century of our leadership. ' ' That is our problem and our challenge. — Barbara Allen Weaver salutatory Parents, teachers, and friends: We, the class of 1955, extend to you a sincere and cordial welcome to our Class Day exercises. We are honored to have you, who have made this day possible, share it with us. At times we have been faced with difficult problems, but with your help and interest we have overcome them and now have reached another milestone on our journey through life. On this milestone is written one word: Graduation. During the past four years we have been traveling the road of academic education together as one class. We have shared our problems, friendships, and achievements together. Today we are standing at the crossroads of life where each one of us must choose a road which he will travel more or less alone. We must pursure this road through rain or shine, through valleys, or over hilltops with unfaltering faith. Some of us will travel this road through education, some through business or professional services. Still others will travel this road through military service. Some of us might become weak and falter along the way, while others may travel the road easily. The goal we shall be seeking will also bear one word: Success. Since we have reached the first milestone, we shall take a brief moment to recall the (oils of the road. Yes, we have had our fun, problems, and have reached our goal: Graduation. As we rest this final moment together before traveling our new roads we shall recall the joys and troubles of our first mile: we shall offer to future travelers some advice gleaned from our ex- periences; and, finally, we shall confide in you our plans and hopes for the future. We invite you to share this moment with us. —Stella Marie Saal oration Courage is a quality of mind that enables us to face all things without fear. The Class of ' 55 must have the courage to face the future with fearlessness, to live day by day courageously. We must be valourous to think clearly, to decide upon a thing, and continue with it to the end. To think clearly through our problems, we must have education in order to see all sides without prejudice. To do this, a clear, free mind is needed. It takes courage to possess a clear, free mind with all the advertisements and propaganda that we have thrown at us today. After once seeing our problem open-mindedly, the next step is to make a decision. A courageous person will ponder long on a decision, going over the details again and again, and deciding the consequences of this move or that. In order to make a good decision, one must have faith in God, and confidence in oneself. Once the decision is made, it calls for courage to act upon the decision— to do what we have decided is right. The colonists that settled at Jamestown in 1607 seeking freedom showed the courage to do what they believed was right. This courage was what our American Democracy was built on in 1775 with the fighting of the Revolutionary War. Doing what we believe is right, has led many heroic men into battle. Even today it takes courage to stand up for the right decision to our problems. When we have succeeded to solve a problem, we gain courage to continue. Refusing to submit to failure is the final test of courage. There s the courage that nerves you in starting to climb The mount of success rising sheer: And when you ' ve slipped back there ' s the cour- age sublime That keeps you from shedding a tear. I hese two kinds of courage, I give you my word, Are worthy of tribute— but then. You II not reach the summit unless you ' ve the third— The courage of try-it-again! by Ray Farrell Greene— Beffy Lou Bichel class grumble Fellow-laborers of the class of 55, parents, guests, and friends, (this does not include teachers) : We are now at the climax of four years at Goshen High School. We, as SENIORS, feel that there are a few changes that should be made at G.H.S. First of all, we, the class of ' 55, have not been appreciated. We, too, were once lowly under- classmen, and as such upon seeing a SENIOR we would bow low at the waist and allow them to pass. Present day conditions are quite different. Upon stepping foot outside a classroom we are immediately trampled by poking, prodding underclassmen. We try so hard, but no one appreciates us. For instance, upon finding out that the attendance office had ordered an overly large amount of blue or unexcused absence slips the SENIORS came to the rescue. We forced ourselves to be absent and tardy without good cause, thus diminishing the great concern as to how and where to get rid of the excess blue slips. It hurt us deeply to be absent from our dear school, but we struggled to stay out of school. By this good deed we also kept the attendance officer very busy. But were we thanked for relieving them of all those blue excuses? No, but that ' s life. There are also several adjustments that greatly improve old G.H.S. Since the first days of our high school career we had looked forward to first floor lockers. (These lockers until this year had been considered in hallowed ground ; for there were to be found SENIOR lockers.) Now we, as SENIORS, have third floor lockers. It was a nuisance for us to climb the many stair s so early in the morning. Because of this problem we have been forced to allow at least an extra 15 minutes every morning in order to climb the stairs. This means all SENIORS have to rise, (but not shine), at the unearthly hour of 16 minutes til S. Near the middle of the day you can easily distinguish the SENIORS from the rest of the students. They have to rest on the landings between flights of stairs. Every day there seems to be an extra step added. Escalators would be a great improvement. There has also been the problem of auditorium programs. Before this year it has been an un- written law that those in the cheaper seats or underclassmen must remain frozen in their uncomfortable chairs until every SENIOR has left the auditorium. This year we are mobbed upon leaving by restless underclassmen. The programs themselves have been quite tolerable, but we believe there should be more artists such as Ralph Flanagan, Stan Kenton, Frankie Laine and Louie Armstrong to grace the stage of G.H.S. Also for the SENIORS there should be tilt-back cushioned seats. The school clocks also present quite a problem at times. In the morning we set our watches with the time given by the radio. Upon arriving here we find that the clocks are approximately 6 minutes fast. Because of this we are left with very little time to climb the stairs. The next day you set your watch 6 minutes fast so as to be with school time, however you soon discover to your dismay that the clocks have been set back about 10 minutes. What a delightful game we must play with the school in order to determine just what the actual time is! Since the old student-engraved desks in study hall No. 205 have been replaced by large blonde tables this year it seems a shame that we are not allowed to use them for eating purposes. They lend themselves so well to, well, to a number of things from passing notes under cover of the tables to a quick game of cards while the teacher s back is turned. A concession stand that sells cokes, candy bars, french fries, and a lew other essentials to a teen-agers diet should be placed at the back of the room. It seems that the faculty has slipped up on this money- making possibility. There is only one possible thing which we have nothing, absolutely nothing to grumble about, and that is — we graduate this year. - — Sally Risser class history A key unlocks the door to many things. There are keys to happiness, keys to fame, keys to your house, keys on your piano, and just plain, old, ordinary car keys. But I am talking about a very special key. The key to the diary of the class of 1955. The first page under the silver and ice blue cover is dated September 6. 1949. It was on this eventful dav that 189 wide-eyed freshmen entered the halls of Goshen High. Maybe we felt a little lost, but we were proud too; proud that we were now G.H.S. students. We must have been a peculiar sight to all who were watching. The freshmen boys dodging upperclassmen. and the freshmen girls were busy looking over the new field of prospective males. It didn t take long to organize our class. Stephen Perm led the class with Larry Beachy as vice- president. Marcia Cross took the minutes, and Sue Farrell guarded our empty treasury. Patsy Rupholdt and David Landaw were to try to keep law and order. Miss Kyler and Mr. Gerig helped us through our first trying year. The cafeteria was the scene of our first class party. Swing your partner was the cry as the frolic began. Dunking for apples dampened everything except our spirits. How proud we were when the athletic members of our class received their G s, the first that had ever been given to freshmen. The day of the 1930 relays was a big one for the freshmen. Sandra Gee ran a close second to the queen, Doris Deter. Summer vacation rolled around, and we left our alma mater. Back again and the class of 55 was raring to go. Our capable president, Larry Beach, was assisted by Stephen Penn. Sue Farrell was elected to keep the minutes, and Patsy Rupholdt became the keeper of the small treasury. Marcia Cross and Doug Naylor attempted to keep the class under control during our meetings. Our new class sponsore were Miss Simmers and Mr. Owings. Our class won its first honor of the year when Sandra Gee was chosen as a majorette. A gala ballroom dance at the Chamberlain gym was quite an affair for our social sophomores. Soft music, dim lights, a colorful Christmas tree, and a crowd of good looking sophomores all went together to make one of our most remembered class parties. Our class was also prominent in athletics. Those receiving football letters were Larry Beachy, RoIIand Hoover, Frank Miller, and Doug Naylor. Ronnie Keister received a G in cross country. Tennis G ' s were awarded to Frank Forgatsch and Bill Ramsby. Track letters went to RoIIand Hoover, Doug Naylor, and Gene Greenawalt. The class of 55 was the first to start the annual variety show, and what a show it was! The G.H.S. auditorium, alias the wild and wooly west, was ablaze as Syncopated Sixguns was presented. Our variety show proved to be a success and has now become a tradition with each Sophomore class. By now the class was filled with a strong feeling of unity which has lasted throughout our high school days. 1 he time for the Roman Banquet arrived, and every sophomore in Latin Club was on hand to see that our Roman Banquet would excel all others. Patsy Rupholdt and Nico Wiese were chosen as yell leaders. Perhaps our highest honor of the year came the day of the 1951 relays when Sue Farrell reigned as relay queen. As we left school for summer vacation, it was a great satisfaction to know that next year we would return as upper classmen. This we did. Chosen to carry the heavy responsibilities of the junior class was Bob Brinklow. He was assisted by Larry Beachy, vice- president: Sue Farrell. treasurer; and sergeant- at-arms. Marianne Bigler and Lowell Shank. Mr. Hart replaced Mr. Owings as class sponsor. We proudly presented our junior class play, Remember the Day . Ardith Smoker portrayed a typical school marm while David Lehman thought of new ways to get into trouble. Other members of the cast were Sue Farrell, Larry Beachy, Janice Myers. Bob Brinklow, Ronnie Kiester. Betty Bickel. Jack Bowser. Dick Leavitt, Bill Kaser, Ed Bradford, Cheryl Brumbaugh, Eileen Conrad, Yerlin Garber, Patsy Rupholdt, Carla Stephenson, Loren Kaufman, Barbara Amstutz. Shayne Malone, David Landaw, Bill McKibhen, Phyllis Yoder, and Theodosia Hartzler. Finally our much awaited class rings arrived although many of us didn t keep them very long. Those that were in the upper 5% of the junior class became members of the National Honor Society. Among them were Betty Bickel, Theodosia Hartzler, Stella Saal, Ardith Smoker, Virginia Stemen, Barbara Weaver, Jane Wetzel and Phyllis Voder. It was a feather in our cap when Barbara Weaver won first place in the state contest for 5rd year Latin. We were proud of our junior candidate, Jackie Benton, when she placed second in the Goshen relay queen contest. In the athletic division top honors went to many members. Those who received football letters were RoIIand Hoover, Larry Beachy, Doug Naylor. Ronald Riley, Frank Miller, and Clayton Nisley. Basketball letters were received by Lowell Shank, Frank Forgatsch. and Frank Miller. Bill Ramsby and Frank Forgatsch earned G ' s in tennis, and Larry Beach, RoIIand Hoover, and Doug Naylor were awarded G ' s in track. Our prom at Tippecanoe Lake was one that will long be remembered. Upon our arrival at the Stork Club we stepped into an atmosphere of sophistication and gaiety. Thus was a perfect ending for our junior year. In the fall of 1952 our class, now top brass of G.H.S.. entered Goshen High for our final year. Our choice of Dick Leavitt for leader of our student activities was a wise one. Chosen to be his assistant was RoIIand Hoover. Suzanne Baker assumed responsibility as secretary, and Jane Wetzel kept track of our booming treasury. Jackie Benton and Bud Elliott tried to keep us quiet. The class of 55 always liked to be different, but they really hit the jackpot this year. With only eight months in which to raise money, the class decided to take a senior trip. But never say die was our motto, and we pulled through as we thought we would. We realize that this could have never been done without the guiding hands of Mrs. Garwood and Mr. Hart as well as all those who gave their time and effort. The senior production of Annie Get Your Gun was a roaring success. The class is very proud of Sue Farrell, Byron Rassi, Larry Beachy, Sally Risser, Shayne Malone, Bill Kaser, Shirley Leiter, Martha Haney, Dave Lehman, Jack Bowser, Ed Bradford, Dave Schenk, Bob Brinklow, Dellaura Smith, Geri Christner, Jane Wetzel, Jane Rinker, Janice Myers, and Harry Winters. We are proud to say that RoIIand Hoover is a member of the class of 53 . Pug, alias Mr. Touchdown G.H.S. , was bestowed the honor of All Conference back for the 51 season and again for the 52 season. Chosen to head the Tomahawk staff was Shirley Kaut. Patsy Rupholdt was named editor- in-chief of the Crimson. Two members of our class, Bill Ramsby and Frank Forgatsch, helped to win Goshen High School s highest award, the North Central Conference championship. Our heroes were honored with a victory pep-session. To share honors with the National Honor Society members previously named were Patsy Rupholdt, Sue Farrell, Shirley Kaut, Sarah Newell, Harry Winters, Charles Gorham, Larry Beacny, Janice Myers, Margaret Parsons, Berneice Smeltzer, Bill Kaser, Ronald Kiester, Peggy Stouder, Doris Boyer, and Wilhelmina Mote. Again in our senior year we contributed our share of athletic ability. Letter winners in football were Larry Beachy, Dallas Cripe, Charles Gorham, Gene Greenawalt, RoIIand Hoover, Dave Landaw, Dave Lehman, Frank Miller, Doug Naylor, and Byron Rassi. Our two tennis champions, Frank Forgatsch and Bill Ramsby, each received G s in tennis. Cross country G s were earned by Lowell Shank and Nico Wiese. Basketball letter winners were Lowell Shank, Frank Miller, and Frank Forgatsch. Again the class of 53 triumphed to glory as the senior candidate, Patsy Rupholdt, was crowned queen of the Goshen Relays. George Vander Wey was awarded first place at the Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio art exhibit at Fort Wayne for his sculpture. The diary of the class of 1Q55 has now come to a close as far as high school is concerned, but the story will go on. We will look forward to the future with bright hopes and fond memories ol the past four years. Tbe class of 53 has strived to excel in each of its undertakings. I believe we have succeeded, don ' t you? —Patsy Rupholdt class will We, (141 at the last count) outstanding, never to be forgotten, remarkable class of nineteen hundred and fifty-three, being of solid mind and forgetful memory realize our wonderful days at Goshen High School are slowly coming to an end.

II this doesn t work we leave a small sum so you can buy your own candy bars. Item XIII. Steve Bennett gives his hot rod driving qualities to Fi Fi Payne so he can follow in his brother s footsteps. Item XIV. Harry Winters bequeaths his neatness in dress to Don Auer. With his looks and Harry s dress. Don should be quite popular with the fairer sex. Item XV. Roberta Holderman. Shirley Kaut, and Dellaura Smith leave their quietness, efficiency and beauty to Carol John. By next year Carol should be the perfect girl. Item XVI. Giggles Garringer wills her barrel full of giggles to Renee Sapero and any other shy freshman girl, to charm the male element of Goshen High School. Item XVII. To Chuck Straub, we give Paul Fry s quiet way of talking, acting, and walking. Also Paul gives Chuck his ability to keep quiet unless called upon. Item XVIII. Barbara Ganger bequeaths to Carol Headly two mirrors, three combs, one lube of lipstick, and one jar of rouge to be used only between classes. Item XIX. Shirley Mighty Herman leaves her tremendous size to June Wenger in case June ever has that let-down feeling. Item XX. Bill Sherck and Butch Bigler give their constant companionship in the halls of G.H.S. to Peg Berlin and her next years steady. Item XXI. Ed McQuillian. Bob Brinklow. Jane Wetzel and Sue Farrell leave their ability in poetry, music and acting to Miss Zook so that she can present the play, Romeo and Juliet by Barrymore. (or is that by Shakespeare?) Ah, well, it really doesn t make any difference. Item XXII. David Landaw, suffering from a guilty conscious, wills his 162-page account of My frequent trips to Indiana to Sherlock Bemenderfer. We feel certain this will put Dave in the clear. Item XXIII. To the new Goshen High School cheerleaders, Nico Wiese leaves his tumbling ability. This should prove very interesting. Item XXIV. Since our class put out to sea our treasury is dry (Pause) and I am very sorry to say, we are unable to leave anything further. The best of luck to the many students who will follow in our footsteps. As our sparkling career at Goshen High School slowly dwindles, we, the class of 1053, affix our hand and seal on this twenty-eighth day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifty-three. We do hereby appoint Mr. Charles Burkett the executor of this, our last will and testament. (Signed) THE CLASS OF 1953 per Larry L. Beachy junior advice Class of 54, fellow students and friends. My fellow seniors and I who have been locked up in this building for four years have a few words of advice which we would like to pass on to you. If you take our golden gems of recommendations and follow them seriously your class will have no trouble in being the first group to have no graduates. Our first bit of advice is to all students who are planning to take Chemistry next year. There will be no need to purchase a notebook or a pencil for this class. It is never needed here and as the professor in charge does not believe said items are necessary items of study. When in the laboratory never heed the advice of the instructor and always mix the ingredients double for the amount called for in the experiment. Thus you will receive a large reaction and possibly a big bang. To all those lucky seniors ' who are taking English VII and VIII next year, go to class with two changes of clothing. One is for the time the radiators are working and the perspiration is rolling from your forehead; the other is when the radiators are shut off and you sit shivering in class. If you believe in fairy tales or gory murders in which the hero always dies, do not fail to sign up for English VIII. You will soon learn all about Bill Shakespeare s famous writ- ings which we. the class of 55, doubt he wrote. The future actors of America will be very interested in the new Dramatics course which has just been installed this year. This class teaches one how to converse with his fellow men without words, while going through a series of frivolous motions. This course is especially recommended for boys, as it teaches you how to apply make-up. Thus if your wife ever forgets how it is applied, you can show her now it is done. If you are planning to take shorthand next year by all means take the class that meets from twelve to one. I hear that they seldom spend a full week in class without some interruptions cutting one of their periods short. If you have the opportunity to pick your study hall, take the sixth period. The reason. Mr. Hart is planning to make his study hall students multimillionaires. His plan is to repossess and reprocess all of the old gum on the bottoms of the tables and chairs in the study hall. When picking your senior play be sure to pick one that needs live game, such as pigeons or rabbits. Then when you are done with them in the play you might give them to the cafeteria. Therefore you will have less meatless Mondays. Another matter of importance is that if you are planning to go to college take advantage of the Iree college counciling course that goes on in room 502. This service is run by an ex-Earlham graduate and her assistants are ex G.H.S. students returning from college. The Class of ' 55 would like to thank their wonderful sponsors Mrs. Garwood and Mr. Hart, for all the small but important tasks they have done for us. If you the class of ' 54 and the succeeding classes follow the advice of your sponsors and use your common sense your senior year will be a truly great one. — David Lehman class prophecy So the furry, little ground hog burrowed down into his cozy, comfy home under the surface of Mother Earth and settled down for his winter nap. The End. And so, another exciting, thrill packed hour is spent in the library reading of the numerous adventures of Gregory Groundhog. I hate to appear so satirical, but it is rather boring. After all, in this gala year of 1965 a young woman of my obvious beauty and intelligence should not spend long hours in a library. But I ' ve been searching for something, a trace, a sign of a lost classmate, a friend, a- — well, let s see. Perhaps if I glance through these magazines- Let me see, ah yes, The New Yorher; ah, this looks like an interesting article. Goings On About Town . Wouldn t it be a total shock if I found one of my old classmate s name listed among these celebrities of the Broadway stage. Oh, I should like to see this production very much, I Found Love In Newfoundland written by that aspiring, or should I say perspiring young playwrite (Oh. good heavens!) Dick Leavitl. Starring in the title role of Bertha Bong, Girl Tree Surgeon, is none other than Jeannine Drtdey. The hero. Elusive Aladden, is played by that rising young actor Larry Beachy who, by the way, distinguished himself as the football coach of an outstanding eastern school, Y. B. C. Yowser Business College. Lets see, what have we on this page? Motion Pictures . Ah, this looks interesting, a sequel to An American In Paris , Three Yugoslavians in Lower Tibet produced by that outstanding Hollywood magnate, John ( letro Goldwyn) Cornell. Associate producer is the famed flower of the movie world, Micnael Garoer. The leading character, Emil Shlodvessel, is portrayed by Jack Bowser, and his disolusioned heroine, Edma Whirlaway is played by Shayne iMo one. Ah, to think I actually knew these brilliant people. But lets progress -let me see, The Talk of the Town . Here s an interesting article. The well known, popular, young novelist. Edwin i lcQuillian. has had published a successful book on How To Have Fun In Eastern Siberia . The publishing house putting out this directory is Cripe and Cripe, ably managed by George Gripe and Dallas Cripe. Much of the material for this book was compiled by Mr. McQuillian ' s secretary Margaret Parsons. Oh, here s a piece of news. The New York Symphony conducted by Robert Brinklow presented a concert at Carnegie Hall last week. Mr. Brinklow played a number of his own compositions along with those of another con- tempory composer. Miss Jane Wef-el, who is seriously thinking of becoming a sousaphone soloist. Well, we come to The Art Galleries . Here ' s a bit of news. A young American impressionist. George Vander Wey has created a series of paintings entitled You Name It . Recent works of indescribable artistry, in fact, of complete indescribability have been produced by two promising young artists, Alan Maire and Jennifer Morgan. They have used for models several of the lovely young ladies of the Mile. Suzanne Baker charm school. Hm, that name is familiar. Among her more promising students are Dellaara Smith. Jacqueline Benton, ana Susanne Garringer. Now let me see — the next article in Books . Well — another old friend of mine has suddenly gained fame. The Memoires of Meriwether Milestone written by a rising young writer. Miss Sarah Newell has become very popular. The well known travel expert Miss Sally Kisser has compiled her notes into a travelogue entitled Canoeing Through the Bering Straits . She mentions several well known personages she encountered while on her numerous escapades. Among them are the famed geologists Bill Sherck. Ronald Schrock. and Kennon Shorthouse ; the experts on Oriental dancing, Marcia Cross and Anne Emmert; the four famed jungle hunters Dong Naylor. Ronnie Kiester. Mac Peffley. and Al Shanahan: the famed American diplomats. Ambassador David Landau ' and Speaker of the House. David Lehman: and three Texas million- aires (they made their money from oil . . . and it was awfully messy) Dave Alhaugh. Steve Bennett, and Keith Brown. Another writer of note is Ardith Smoker who has just finished a book of etiquette. One of the interesting bits of knowledge she gives out is how to fan a bowl of hot soup with your hat so that it looks like you re waving goodby to your hostess. Here s an interesting article concerning the sports world. The well known tennis player. Bill (Tilden) Ramsay and Frank (Sedgeman) Forgatsch are planning a world tour. Ah, here are two famed sportsmen. Rolland (Pug) Hoover who has been named head coach of Notre Dame, Michigan State, Illinois, and Northwestern and in his spare time he s thinking of organizing his own ball club. Pitcher Bill McKibben of the Chicago Argyles (a branch of the White Sox) has been named outstanding player of the Near. His agent is Terry (20%) Floogenboom who is assisted by Franklin Shoup. And here s another piece of news, Nico W ' iese, the famed gymnast is going on a world wide tour, his -423rd. He is being managed by those shrewd business men. Harry Winters and Ric Messick. The sports commen- tator on Station WOOF and WOOF-FM. woof and wooffm is none other than Frank Miller and the sponsors of his program Satisfying Solicitors of Succulent Sweets are four business tycoons, Loren Kaufman. Bill Yonder Maas. Gerald Kisser, and James Kulp. and also the scientist who discovered this bit of delectibilitv. Bill Kaser. Another sports figure. Joe Shank. has distinguished himself by becoming the first basketball player to wear cleats. The athletic instructor at Yipsilanti School for Girls, Miss Martha Neff has made an interesting discovery. Bats used in the game of baseball are made ol wood not molten lead as was thought before. And now. we have news of the home. The well known New ork fashion designer. Sonia Olowecki, has created fashions worn by all the best dressed women. She is ably assisted by Maurine Myers. Shirley Schieber, Mary Sue Speicher, and Sylvia Blosser. Models are often called in from the famed Edward Lleyde Model Agency to model these lovely creations. Shirley Whitehead. Nancy Smith, Marian Holdread, and Loretta Hayes are four of the highest paid models in the busine ss. They even own their own hatboxes. Now here s an article of note, big businesses are booming mainly due to the fact there is an abundence of competent secretaries. A recent poll was taken and the following were said to be some of the outstanding ladies of business, Miss Janice Myers and Miss Roseanna Trenshaw and Miss Kay Chenoweth at the Black and Blue Concern, makers of ink spots; the Misses Shirley Ott, Evelyn Raber. and Barbara Ganger whose employers Keith Mast and Bill Graff have discovered a new substitute for food. It ' s excellent in all respects but one, you can t eat it: then there are the Misses Shirley Herman, Mary Ellen Robinson, and Eleanor Weaker whose interesting jobs at the United Pickle Workers Factory owned by Donald Beckner includes stuffing olives. This unique process is done by crawling through the holes and dragging the pimento behind them: the Misses Stella Saal. Jac(jueline Steele. Peggy Stouder. and Carla Stephenson who are employed at the Rassi Real Estate Co. The owner Byron Rassi has installed a new plan of business whereby each girl has a 6 month vacation with pay and a 5 hour week averaging $200 a week.— it s very satisfactory. Among the other outstanding business women are the Misses Shirley Kaut. Marianne Bigler, Barbara Weaver and Phyllis Yoder who have organized their own newspaper. The Not-So- Daily, Not-So-Newsy News. The Misses Nancy Hoffhein. Roberta Holde- man, Mary Hartsough, and Coleen Holdread have formed a partnership and are opening a small Italian restaurant specializing in Chinese food. It promises to be interesting. The Misses Shirley Leiter. Shirley Ann Zehr. Elaine Keim, and Sandra Cripe are well established in this city as beauty consultants. Their motto Come in an old bag and walk out a new bundle is well known. They have employed as four of their distinctive hair stylists Lorraine Goggan. Beverly Burbank. Eileen Conrad, and Mary Jane Cripe. I under- stand a popular mode this year is the shaved head. My, this business world is really packed. Here s another article. It says. What well known automobile agency is putting Cadillac motors in Nash Ramblers? Hm, that would be inter- esting. Ob yes, it ' s tbe Scbenck and Scherck Agency owned by Dave Schenck and Ronnie Sherck. Tbe top mechanics who are executing this ticklish operation are Ronald Riley, Gene Greenawalt, Ronnie Grover, and David Dougherty. Well, here s something new. Bring Your family to the Riziest Ritz ever Ritzed . Our undisputed master chefs Ed Bradford and Bud Elliott supply food from their own chain of grocery stores. The Associate Chief Chefresses are Barbara Auer, Elnora Avers, Carolee Alfano, and Marlene Blacltport. It is said they flip a mean pancake. And now we hear from the music world. Let ' s see. Jon Robinson and his Five Fine Fellows have recently been voted the most popular dance band in the country. This is probably due to the fact that they are the only band that dances. The band ' s singer is also a top name today, Miss Cheryl Brumbaugh. Their publicity manager, Miss Patsy Rupholdt, has recently been voted The Publicity Manager With The Most- . Now here ' s a note, The Frey, Fry, and Frye Law Office, handled by Virginia, John, and Paid has recently won a case for its Client Miss Joyce Bauer, a well known art expert. She is thinking of buying the Brooklyn Bridge. Her consultants in this matter are famed realtors, the Misses Betty Bickel, Virginia Bixler, Julia Ganger, and the former Geraldine Christner and Martha Haney whose marriages take up a great deal of their time, but career women will be career women. And now, news of the home front. One of our well known young housewives, the former Miss Sandra Gee now Mrs. Maury McCally, is spending her spare time as a Young Marriage Consultant and due to the fact that there is a booming business, she has hired the Misses Anna Dills, Rosemary Brown, and Donna Whitmer to assist her. They have come to the horrifying conclusion that there are very few single men or women left. This might prove to be interesting. Here s a sports note. We have it via the grapevine that the three race track tycoons, James Knisley, John Simmons, and Darl Stump have recently purchased a new horse. This is good news as they had a bit of hard luck with their last one. It seems that he started with the rest but on the second lap he stepped out for a coke and they haven ' t seen him since. The Misses Doris Boyer, Eleanor Wfiorfe?!, Phyllis Goetz, and Esther Warsffer have recently opened a small antique shop. Their favorite article is a Louis XVI chair. Its reason for being outstanding is the fact that Louis is slill in it ! A lovely, new children ' s home has come into view owned by the Misses Berneice Smeltzer, Loretta Burkey, Ferdinande Kaiser and Helen Pippenger. 1 hey have recently employed Miss Jane Rinker who is to have full charge of the 4,368 children. Of course, she will have assistance from Charles Gorfiam whose 4000 acre farm is nearby and who supplies all the food. Well, I ve simply exhausted this magazine and I think I ve found what I wanted, one or two names of my old classmates. —Sue Farrell the choice is ours The years now total ten and three Since first our quest began In search of knowledge and right, And of our future s plan. The road thus far has held for us The roughness and the bend, And often on our way we ' ve paused To help a stumbling friend. The forks in this our road of Life We ve faced and gone our way The signs along the road have led To where we stand today. And now we face another fork With many roads in sight. We pray that we, with help from God Will choose the way that s right. —Sarah Newell class song To the tune of The Halls of Ivy To the halls of Goshen High School, To our friends we know so well. The class of nineteen-fifty-three Will bid a fond farewell. We have tried to give our utmost In the four years of our past. To leave us with our memories As long as life shall last. One day a hush will fall, The footsteps of us all Will echo down the hall and disappear. But as we sadly start Our journeys far apart, A part of every heart will linger here In the halls of Goshen High School Where we ' ve lived and learned to know, That through the years we ' ll see you In the sweet afterglow. .— Wetzel-Brinklow thank you We, the staff of the 1955 CRIMSON, wish to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to: Miss Eda Margaret Barnes, our sponsor, without whose guidance, the Crimson could never be produced.
