I935 GREENSBUR6, INDIANA .2 THE CLASS OIF '35 To you, lower classmen, we now toss the flame- A symbol of knowledge, honor, and fame. Hold that brand high till some future dawn, When your following classmates shall carry it on. The Seniors now bid you a fond farewell. Forever we are leaving the call of the bell- Our school days are overg they brought joy from the start, But listen to our story before we depart. Four long years we have fought side by side. H Our past and our present we've no need to hide. We've tried hard to please, and our standard's been high. May we write for this class a name in the sky. As racers we're qualified for the great race of life- To join in the tumult, the toil, and the strife. We must push ever forward and make it a rule, To do honor and justice to this, our old school. We soon must part and choose our own courseg We must drive ourselves onward with unyielding force, Till at last we come to the Inevitable End Where each fellow student shall again meet his friend. Many years in the future when the battle is won, When the toil is all over and our Rest begun, May the following classes keep the name alive And always remember the class '35. To you, fellow students, and the faculty, too, We are now obliged to say adieu. But cherish the memories and keep them alive Of your classmates and students of '3S. -Iafmes Crute, Class Poet Two F HISTORY OJF GREENSBURG HIGH SCHOOL The Greensburg High School organization was established in 18694 the present building was begun in 1912 and completed in 1915. In 1871 the first class was graduated, and since then 1,677 stu- dents have been graduated. The curriculum of 1869, with modifications, now constitutex the academic course. Five distinctive courses of study are offered to the pupils. They are academic, agriculture, home economics, industry, and commerce. Annual prizes in various activities are provided for by the Nelson and Carrie F. Mowrey funds and the Robert A. Hamilton Agricultur- al fund. It may well be said that pupils of Greensburg High School enjoy opportunities practically as diversified and extensive as now prevail in larger cities. Three i-11: FACULTY C Our guides, philosophers, and friends who have helped us to gain that greatest of human achievements-intellectual understanding of life. From lefl to right, in the first row is Elmer Jerman, Superintendent of the Greensburg Public Schools. His leadership has been valuable in the success of our school. His interest and friendly advice have been a great help in furthering the success of the class of '3S. Next is Carl Billings, G.H.S.'s grand-man -its principal. Because of his kindness, ready smile, courtesy, and quiet forcefulness, he has enriched the lives of all the students and has succeeded in making them his friends.

At that time the faces of one hundred five young, enthusiastic. freshies darkened the thresh- hold of our great auditorium, to start bravely upon their careers. holding high the keys to their futures. In the many varied fields which G. H. S. offers, we, the class of ,35, have labored hard to distinguish ourselves. Our debaters have defeated some of the best teams in the state, proving that among us are those able to compete with any. Now We focus our attention on the field of baseball and basketball. From the time we were frosh until we became seniors, we have striven for clean sportsmanship and for indomitable records. In this land of opportunity and enlightmentf' this haven for the oppressed, many of us are doomed to spend the most formative period of our lives either as successes or as failures. Now, as a pro- duct of four years of liberal education, we are proud to say that though most of us have weathered these four years bravely, a few who made this pilgrimage to the shrine of learning have been lost in the labyrinth of halls never to be heard of again. In parting we wish to show our deep appreciation to our teachers, our principal, and to all who assisted us in attaining a high scholastic record. To our underclassmates, friends, teachers, and associates, we must now say adieu. May the classes that follow be as successful as ours. Hfere's to the class of '36. -Mary F.

Sixteen Sevel1ivf'n JUNTURS First, they were green freshmen writhing under the scornful stares of the upper classmeng then, sophomores, sharing the joys of abusing the following group of freshies g Now, they are jolly juniors, and they have earned this title for from the moment of organization they had as their code, Good Fellowship Toward All. Under the eicient sponsorship of Miss Frances Eward every project which they attempted proved successful. . - Class ot!-icers were: Harry Williams, president, Charles Redelman, vice-presi- dent, Billy Licking, secretary, and Bobby Howe, treasurer. ' SOPHOMORES The class of '37 is one in which individualism is paramount. For an unor- ganized class, it has co-operated exceedingly well in class room work and school organizations. They had a representative on the debate team, and members in the Sunshine Society, Play Shop, and Hi-Y. The success of the Pirates and Saplings depended largely on the athletic ability of some of them. Its members demonstrated extensively, varied abilities in different school ac- tivities, this year. I THE 'JFRESHIIES' No, this isn't the faculty although it does bear some resemblance at first glance, nor is it an assembly of seniors, basking in the warmth of newly-found superiority, but you are looking at a group of individuals who, believe it or not, comprise the cream of the school's intellect, the very brain trust of G.H.S. It is your privilege to gaze at a collection of budding geniuses who, because of their pardonable inexperience, have become the objects of unrelentless ridicule and shameless derision. But for one brief moment they throw off the yoke of humiliation, lift their bowed heads, blink at the birdie , and stand before you-the class of '38 . Eighteen iIld'f4'l'H TREE CITY BREEZE STAFF The Three City Breeze has completed its twelfth successful year by publishing sixteen issues of the paper.

The local debaters, coached by Raymond Bennett, had a very successful year. At Anderson the team tied for first place with the Anderson group and they ranked seco-nd in a tournament at Franklin College. By defeating Rushville and Knights- town in the sectional, they were privileged to meet Technical of Indianapolis. The capitol city group defeated them. i Margaret Samuels, Richard Morrish, and Gilman Stark composed the affirma- tive team, with Mavern Sparks, Hubert Stuhrenberg, and William Robbins on the C PLAY SHUP Play Shop, honorary dramatic organization, this year celebrated the tenth year of its existence. negatix 'e. Seniors are replaced at the beginning of each year by students having the best dramatic ability. These students are selected by tryouts which are held once every year. This year seven new members were taken into the organization. Miss Wilouise Woodbridge and Raymond Bennett are the present sponsors. Officers of the Play Shop for 1934-1955 were: Nancy Stevenson, president, Blaine McCoy, vice-presidentg William Robbins, secretaryg John Stewart, treasurer. Twenty mg N 4,.g.m-1 .ilmw 'wrzfy SUNSHINE SOCIETY The Sunshine Society of G. H. S. is an organization that is open to any girl. The purpose of this society is to help the unfortunate kiddies of Greensburg and aid in any other civic or charitable activity. For the first time in several years the Sunshine girls abandoned their annual Christmas party for poor children and in its place donated toys to the Daily News Cheer fund. The officers of the organization were: Frances Adams, presidentg Mary Mc- Laughlin, vice-president, Virginia Shriver, treasurerg Louise Christian, secretary, and Jean Tumilty, Scrapbook editor. The sponsors were Mrs. Stella Kennedy and Miss Elma Sullivan. I HEY The purpose of the Hi-Y club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the community, high standards of Christian character among young men. Besides regular weekly meetings, the club held frequent feeds and parties, gave contributions to charity, and took part in other activities. The boys financed most of these by selling hot-dogs at the fall fair. Particularly active was the Hi-Y Gospel Team which spoke at various churches in this district. The oflicers were: Guy Guthrie, presidentg William Robbins, vice-president, Malcolm Clark, secretaryg Ralph Brown, treasurer. 5 ORCHESTRA The Greensburg High School Orchestra under the instruction of Mrs. Altha Clerkin has been one of the outstanding organizations of the school for many years. This year the orchestra combined with the chorus entertained the students during an interesting forty-minute assembly. At the Senior Class Play and the graduation exercises, music was furnished by them. Each year, those seniors who have been in the organization for four years, are awarded a letter. Robert Weisner was president for the year 1934-'3S. Twunty-two I GIRLS' CHORUS This year's chorus performances have been varied. A selected girls' quartet comprised of Monna Jeanne Guess, Marilyn Ogden, Lucille Weisner, and Margaret Wood was sent to sing at the meeting of the Indiana Federation of Music Clubs, and a girls' trio, three of the former quartet to the North Central Music Educators' Conference, both held in Indianapolis. The chorus sang at the Community Sing and gave several assemblies, some of which were in league with the orchestra. Twenty-nine voices comprised the Melody Girls of '34-'3S. The officers were as follows: Virginia Shriver, presidentg Margaret Clary, vice- presidentg Monna Jeanne Guess, secretary and treasurer. C GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION To promote athletics among girls, the Girls' Athletic Association was organized in 1933, and has been a prominent organization throughout '34-'35, A recital-tea is an outstanding annual project. Sixteen girls were successful in gaining admission this year, making the total membership thirty-five. Miss Catherine Cloud, physical education instructor, is sponsor of the organiza- tion. Ofiicers this year were as follows: Mavern Sparks, presidentg jean Tumilty, vice-presidentg Helen Havens, secretary, Jane Ryan, treasurer. ,Athletic awards were given to girls who made the required points in various activities outlined by the organization. I PIROCRATS Pirocrats!! The peppiest, yelliest , cheer section in the history of the school!! Resplendant in blue and white and Pirate helmets, the Pirocrats under the ex- cellent direction and supervision of Harry Leadbetter, who organized the group this year, and his assistant Dorothy Pleak, won the admiration of both local and visiting basketball fans. ,The section presented a perfect picture of discipline, organized yelling, and beautiful formations, throughout the basketball season. Color, pep, enthusiasm, and good sportsmanship, were the constant contribu- tions of the Greensburg High School's grand yell section-the Pirocrats. Twenly-four vm, wrzly-fin TOWER TREE STAEE We, the Tower Tree Staff of 1935, are pleased to present this book to G. H. S. so that you may remember our class throughout the years.

The Crew was greatly handicapped by the lack of .size and out- standing players. The strenuous schedule that the team had to buck must also be considered. Losing to North Vernon by a seven point margin in the local sectional, the Crew ended their hectic season. At the start the Pruitt- men ran away from Lawrenceburg's Hve,and bit Columbus's Bulldogs. The other seasonal wins were scored at the expense of Center Grove, Knightstown, and St. Paul. St. Paul was also defeated in the sectional. During the year, varsity positions were held by Huegel, Horn- berger, Fromer, U. Link, T. Link, Pleak, Espy, Scripture, Turner, Harman, Klene, Best, Ryan, W. Oliger, and Sturgis. Twenty-right SAPILIINGS O Again the Saplings, Greensburg High School's second squad, have completed a very successful season. Although they were handicapped in height, weight, and exper- ience, they lost but four games out of seventeen contests. Two of the losses were overtime affairs, both of which went to Shelbyville. The third defeat was at the hands of Columbus, by whom they were dropped by one point. During the season the quintet won from Rushville ftwicej, North Vernon, Aurora, St. Paul, and Scottsburg by these high scores: Rushville-42-23 and 36-223 North Vernon, 38 to 8. The players that participated in the Sapling games were R. Stur' gis, L. Ryan, B. Best, R. McKim, J. Klene, Shriver, S. Miller, M. Stutz, J. Keillor, C. Haag, L. Haag, R. Carman, E. Neimeyer, H. Hornberger, and W. Oliger. Twenty-nine unui t -ll BASEBALL T EAM O Having lost several good players last spring, the Greensburg nine came back with a number of rookies to win four out of six con- tests staged in the fall season. The climax of the season came when the Pirates were defeated by Hope by a 5 to 4 score. In the spring season the team saw action against Connersville, Batesville, Madison, Shelbyville, and Columbus, besides the county teams. The pitching staff included Thomas Link, Robert Huegel, Marvin Stutz, and Charles Dugle.
