Page nineteen The Greentown Daily Gossiper Volume XIX Monday, March 28, 1938 Number 2 BEAUTY WEDS A TITLE OF ITALY Rome, Mar. 28.—The well- known American beauty, Hazel Evans, weds Arlando Nitton, of Italy. Miss Evans sailed from the United States in September. 1922, for the shores of Italy. She was to stay in Italy a mon¬ th and then continue her journey around the world, but while in Rome she met her old friend, Arlando Nit¬ ton, whom she had learned to love while in the East dur¬ ing the summer of 1920. She remained in Italy promising to return to the United States in 1924, but she did not re¬ turn. The announcement of her wedding was received over wire early this morn¬ ing at Washington. MY SCHOOL DAYS Roem of Our New Poetess, Miss Geneva Gentry. Quite popular with the boys, I say Especially on some holiday But when it comes to get a lesson I was always there to receive a blessin’. On programs I was quite the thing In eating apples and every¬ thing Outside of that I was pretty fine And I laughed and giggled all the time. Page twenty CANDIDATE FOR PRES¬ IDENT TO SPEAK HERE George Kirkendall, the Lead¬ ing Candidate of the Re¬ publican Party To Speak In This City It is the purpose of Sena¬ tor Kirdendall of this state to deliver a number of ad¬ dresses —one in each of the thirteen Congressional Dis¬ tricts. The one for the Ninth District will be at Greentown. We are unable at this time to give the ex¬ act date of his arrival but it will probably be during the early part of April. DIVORCE CASE Mrs. Wallace Smith, form¬ erly Miss Naomi Neyhart, ap¬ plied for a divorce today. She says her husband is of a cruel disposition and will not pro¬ vide for his wife and three children. She also adds that he leaves early in the evening and returns in the early morning hours. She has found clues of his going with other women. He claims she quarrels with him con¬ tinually and has struck him with the rolling pin anfl other articles. He says he is saf¬ est away from home. The case will be heard tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 o’clock. Miss Esther Miller accepts a position as Latin teacher in the Public School. REVIVAL MEETING TO BE HELD Rev. James Burrows and wife, formerly Miss Anna Dean Yager, of South Bend, will hold a meeting at the Meridian Street Christian Church, beginning Sunday. Mrs. Burrows and her two daughters will take charge of the singing. Every Wednes¬ day evening they will give a musical program just be¬ fore service. Everybody in¬ vited. Services open at 7:30. A PRETTY WEDDING A pretty wedding was sol¬ emnized Tuesday evening, when Mr. John Newsbury and Miss Minnie Parson were united in marriage. Miss Parson is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Parson and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry News¬ bury of Texas. The marriage vows were pronounced by Reverend Disbro. The bride wore a beautiful white geor¬ gette gown, hat and slippers to match. She carried white roses and lilies of the valley. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Newsbury left for Texas to make their future home. Miss Osie McClain, who re¬ ceived an old maid pension for such faithful teaching, returned to her home at Plainfield, Indiana, where she will make her home in her future years. THE GREENTOWN DAILY GOSSIPER GATE’S THEATRE MEDA SMITH “The Greatest American Actress” will be seen in “My Last Heartache” Today and Tomorrow Only MILPHERT MILLER will be seen in “Old Pal of Mine” BEGINNING THURSDAY MELIN’S FOOD Melin’s Food is really an as¬ surance of healthy happy childhood and robust manhood for proper feeding in infancy lays a foundation of good health upon which strong men and women are devel¬ oped. HEART AND HOME Dear Mbs McClain—“I Aent with a boy a full year and he seemed to care a lot for me. We were very true to each other., but finally we drifted apart and he started going with other girls and I started going with other boys. He has shown signs of wanting to come back and we are always smiling or happy when we see each other. I am going with a boy now, but I don’t care as much for him as I did for the first one. I tried to put him out of my mind entirely. I thought I had, but now I am interested in him again. Should I let him come back?” Josephine Seagrave Let the young man come back if he asks too, but wait until he asks. You may be misinterpreting his friendli¬ ness and placing more im¬ portance upon it than he in¬ tends. MELIN’S FOOD COMPANY Boston, Mass. “I recommend this food as being superior to all other baby foods and advise any mother to get it for her child. —Eunice Gallion.” I can’t write poetry at all As you will plainly see But I thought perhaps some¬ one Would be interested in me.

Pedigreed Literature of the Junior Class In order that you may understand the unusual ability in this Junior class of the Greentown High School, some mention must be made of our ancestors. As a class we recognize Adam and Eve as our very greatest grandparents, and to see some of our girls on dress parade would undoubt¬ edly reveal the fact that very slight changes have been made since that time in reference to styles. Among our other ancestors of importance are: Napoleon I, Boob McNutt, Hamurabi, Noah, Everett True and Robinson Crusoe ; but of course we all realize that far more important men than these mentioned might have been discovered if it were not for some missing link, that probably never lived. We will begin our description with the ugliest, Elba Cranor. She is a girl in whom we are very much interested. She is glad that this is a free country, as we all are, and that freedom of speech is enjoyed by all who can find anything to say and any one to listen. However, Elba is everybody’s friend and some day she hopes to marry some one who will listen to her and not make any comment about her line of “gab.” Wilma Bagwell comes next to the ugliest. She is the life of the class, full of fun and always ready for a good time. Wilma is willing to help any place she is needed and more willing to help where she is not needed. The chief objection to Wilma is that she is too noisy for a girl. Whitney Carr, “Jitney,” is a curious sort of a “human.” His highest am¬ bition is to be a telegraph boy. We are proud of Jitney, for he isn’t as ignorant as he looks. He is especially good in athletics, such as playing marbles and jumping the rope. Mable Smith is one of the Sycamore beauties. She is a lovely “little” thing, but in spite of her loud boisterous ways, she befriends even the friendless. Virgil Johnson, (Vergi,) is striving hard to learn the printer’s trade. He surely will turn out a second Benjamin Franklin. Vergi certainly pos¬ sesses the qualities which are necessary in reaching success. He is capable of doing anything he attempts. John Hunt is very studious. He is prompt and shows signs of intel¬ ligence at times. John has a smile for everybody and is the most peaceful boy in the class, except the writer. June Weeks certainly has a brilliant future. June is kind, gentle, and noisy. She is always on the job and works her best in school. June is a rather sensible creature even though she associates with Elba Cranor and “Pickle-Dish” Bagwell. Menno Ebersole claims Caesar as one of his least important ancestors. This probably accounts for Menno’s ability to handle “Caesar” in such an admirable way. Menno has formed a habit of flirting with the fair sex to a dangerous extent, and if it were not for George Scott, Menno would be con¬ sidered the worst cut-up in the Junior class. Page twenty-seven Cl ass EMERilD 19 2 0 Esther Mendenhall, “Styx,” is a girl well liked. She was the president of the class but opportunity called her to Fairmount High School in the month of February, and left us to mourn her loss. Styx was a leader among the fairer sex, a live wire and means well most of the time. Lilith Morris is the guardian of the girls. She watches over them, and advises them in times of greatest anxiety. She is termed the most sens¬ ible Junior girl. Lilith is very quiet, but remember “still water runs deep.” Esther Honeas is a hard working girl in school and “never puts off until tomorrow what she can do today.” She has only been with us since Christ¬ mas but she holds her own with the best in the class. Elsie Murphy is a sweet little article. Everybody Elsie meets is soon made her friend. She has a very charming personality and some day, if nothing interferes, she is cure to be heard from. Elvin Horner is a regular “lady’s man,”—a perfect “scream.” He teases the girls and works his Geometry at the same time. He was never known to loaf on either job. Elvin is as good as his word when he is asleep. Charles Gentry is a Sycamore boy, reared on the farm. Charles is very studious and enthusiastic in every school activity. Wayne Johnson, “Ted,” more extensively known as “Squirt,” is all sunshine. Every other word strangles itself in a series of jingles, which half way suggests that he is laughing. Ted is full of fun and at the same time game for anything once. Ted is just happy-go-lucky every day and cares naught for the morrow. Alma Smith. Yes, Alma can talk just as much as the rest. She enjoys a good time almost as much as if she had her right mind. She is especially fond of chewing gum in school. John Smith, “Smithy,” is chief bouncer of the class and also the ugliest boy in school. John’s favorite sport is grinding coffee. He works once in a great while, although he isn’t expected to amount to a whole lot for any¬ thing other than beef. We all sympathize with him and wish him luck. He is a leader among his friends and at times a very ambitious student. Minnie Havens is an adept pupil and strives to do the right thing, though, probably due to her physical standing, she sometimes covers too much territory. Minnie is a basket ball girl, loves out-door sports and in¬ dulges in most of them successfully. George Scott, “Big Tom,” is another peculiar object, of a rather un¬ tamed nature. George is industrious but it seems his brains is affected with sickness (apparently love sickness,) to the extent that it is impossible to teach him anything. “Tom” certainly is a smasher and a regular village cut-up. George will probably be a minister when he grows up. Gerald Marshall, “Skinny,” of course is the best-looking and most bril¬ liant pupil in the class. Yes, in the whole school, but no one knows it. He desires to be a bachelor and live on a large farm in New York City, far, far away from the wild ways of women.

Page thirty-one Cl ass ' EMERALD 19 2 0 -w.: Prophecy of the Sophomore Class of 1920 There was recently a great event in the City of Greentown. Miss Mar¬ guerite Ault, who was elected president of the United States in the last election, 1936, visited her home town. The great lady was due to arrive at Greentown on her special train at 2:15 P. M. A large crowd was present, and many anxious questions were directed to George Pool, now the station agent of the Clover Leaf. The train finally pulled in. As the engine passed, Professor Ronald Freeman of the Greentown Public Schools, called out a friendly greeting to the begrimed engineer, Lee Shoemaker, his old classmate. The President was met by a reception committee headed by Miss Edith Kirkendall, who had become the most popular belle of Greentown society, and escorted to Greentown’s new library by a brass band collected for thf occasion from neighboring cities. She was pleasantly entertained by a program composed of the world’s greatest artists and lecturers. One of the best addresses was given by Miss Thelma Scherer, a foremost lecturer of the United States. It was so full of feeling that it moved to tears the President, who had acquired a reputation of maintaining a calm and serene countenance in every crisis. Two of the musicians were Olive Matchett, violinist, and Miss Dorothy Melton, pianist, who have recently been declared the greatest musicians that have been heard in any of the leading cities for many years. After this program refreshments were served, and an hour was spent in discussing the peculiarities of the old Sophomore class of 1920. One of which was the fact that none of the class had ever married. The best ex¬ planation for this was given by the President. She said that the class mem¬ bers had never been able to find their equals, and had therefore remained single. The great lady was then escorted back to the station where amid the cheers of the people, her train carried her away on an extensive lecturing tour, which she had planned for the West.

We Are Freshmen Goldie Weisenauer We Freshmen are industrious, intelligent too In work, there is nothing we cannot do Attentive and truthful, are we you see The highest of all classes, the Freshmen will be. Our motto is “Ambition,” with main and might We study from sunrise until moon rise at night We never postpone the tasks of each day The teachers, on us, the blame cannot lay. Even though we are young, we can do our part For this year’s Freshmen are all very smart When others are in trouble our talent we share When it comes to work, we Freshmen are there. The Class of ' 23 Jean. Fleming The hoots and jeers were falling fast, When through the corridor there passed A class of Freshies, bold and free, They were the Class of ’23. Their brows were clear, their eyes beneath Flashed like a sword drawn from the The Seniors all were up a tree, [sheath, Here was the Class of ’23. “You can’t bluff us,” the Juniors said, “Your hazing, Freshie, is just ahead.” “Oh, come,” cried G. H. S., “can’t you see This is my Class of ’23.” We made the wheels of high school flash, Ours was the class that had the dash, And who ever cometh now may see The wonderful Class of ’23. Freshmen Although the Freshies are very wise. They do not come in a disguise. Noise they can make a plenty, One makes enough for any twenty. They tear up tables, chairs, and books, And knock the coats down from the hooks. They take the pictures from the walls, And tear up paper in the halls. They chew their gum in time of school, Although they know it’s ’gainst the rule The number of notes which they do throw, Would shock their dads, if they could know. All of them are so very lazy, It’s enough to make the teachers crazy. They do not stand when they recite But stay in their seats just for spite. They do not know, now they are young, That this is the way their life is begun, For if they did, they surely would, Just ti ' y a little bit to be good. To A Rouge Box Dear Rouge Box, thou art such a dear To make cheeks pink throughout the year! But when we have on rouge and sob, Why then any Tom, Dick, Harry, or Bob, Can without trouble the very route trace, Where down our pink cheeks, the big tears have raced. But in spite of all this, you’re a worldly bliss For you make girls’ cheeks just the sort to kiss, And how are the poor ignorant to know That you are complexion’s deadliest foe ? Girls love you I know, but, Powder and Paint You make a pretty girl seem something she aint. —V. Q. Page thirty-five CHS ?PJ Class_ E M E Ro41D _ 2 ° • .. .. - - ' «.... The Junior High School The legislature of 1919 provided by law for a new type of high school— The Junior High School. This type of school in different forms has been in operation in some cities of Indiana for some time, but was given legal stand¬ ing in 1919. Some of the advantages of the Junior High School are: Departmental teaching in grades seven and eight. Promotion by subject instead of by grade or year. No county examination for promotion into the Senior High School. The pupil becomes familiar with high school practices at an earlier age and thus is less likely to drop out of school at the eighth grade. Provides for more vocational work and differentiation in subject matter so as to make the years seven and eight more interesting. Teaching is apt to be of a higher order than under the old system. The course of study outlined by the state is as follows: SEVENTH GRADE Points English (Reading, Grammar, Spelling) 5 Arithmetic - - - 4 History and Community Civics - 5 Geography 4 Physical Training and Hygiene - 1 Drawing and Music - - 2 Agriculture, Domestic Art - 4 Total Required - - 25 EIGHTH GRADE Points English - 5 Arithmetic 3 History and Civics - - 5 General Science (including Physiology) - - 5 Physical Training and Hygiene - 1 Drawing and Music - - 2 Agriculture, Industrial Arts or Household Arts - - 4 Total Required 25 Although handicapped because of building and equipment, Greentown set out last autumn to meet the state requirement for a Junior High School, and has succeeded in securing such recognition. It should mean much for our Senior High School in the future. The enrollment for the present year is: Eighth year, 40; Seventh year, 50. Technically the ninth year is a part of the Junior High School.

' Keep Your Temper Thelma Scherer A person can never accomplish anything by losing his temper. Many men say that the failure of their business was because of some hasty and ill-considered statement which was made during a fit of temper. When things go wrong, business dull, and future prospects seem dark; it is very poor judgment to speak angrily to those with whom you are associated. The expression on a man’s face is good evidence of the feeling within. The world judges men by their outward appearances and by their conduct. Ill- natured men very seldom become successful. Difficult and hard tasks dis¬ appear when they are met calmly; they increase when they are met with ill-nature and anger. The best thing after all is to keep your temper. School Spirit That community is most fortunate which has in the fullest sense of the term a fine community school spirit. This spirit cannot be kept at one hundred per cent if only a part of the community work at the job. It can¬ not exist if people only talk about it. It cannot be realized if folks merely desire it but do not act. It cannot be present where only occasional effort is put forth. A town is no better than the school it maintains. The school cannot be first class merely by employing good teachers, no more than a church will succeed if the membership leave everything for the pastor. Our community school spirit and our school can grow better if we do nothing more than a few little things: Cultivate in our children the importance of never missing school unless absolutely unavoidable; teach them to regard tardiness as a great fault; to feel that every lesson is important; that many excuses are of little value; that the teachers are their friends and helpers, not their natural enemies as a few would think; that school comes first in their young lives, and that time lost can never be regained. Then the public can help by word and act to make our children realize the value of school, by creating a fine school sentiment among the children and above all by boosting for Greentown schools. If we do not pull for onr own city, strangers will not pull for us. Next year Greentown will have an excell¬ ent school building, the equal of any in the state. Let everyone resolve that our school shall be as good as the best. Proverbs 1. Look before you sit down. 2. Study has never been known to kill a Freshie. 3. A Freshman and knowledge are far apart. 4. A wandering mind gathers no learning. 5. Wisdom is not conceived in a day. 6. If wishes were hundreds, pupils might pass. 7. Spare the books and spoil your education. 8. High School is the mother of success. 9. Study is the best policy. 10. A student is known by the deportment he keeps.

I know Those ugly freckles now will show. You made some girl a lily white. What shall she do he comes tonight? She’s not the one to blame, she’ll say She lost her powder puff today. Still, Powder Puff, 1 beg of thee To listen to her wistful plea. Though you are forced to swallow dust, And it be white, you are a puff. Teachers I wonder, if teachers have in them a heart, Or, if they have lost in their struggles, that part Which Nature provided each male, and female; I really don’t know what it is that can ail. They don’t seem to know what it is they’re about. At least we don’t think so ’till we are kicked out For talking, or loitering around in the halls. I wish that there wasn’t no teachers at all. The horrible lessons, that they give to us, Would make e’en the saintliest one raise a fuss. I really am tempted to buy me a knife And end all the hardships and struggles of life. Ode To A Rag Time I love your ringing swinging tune, To me it’s best of all, And when I wed some day in June, They’ll play it at the ball. I do not like sad weepy junk; It makes me feel so blue. I think that stuff like that’s just punk, I really do, don’t you ? And when they bury me, some day, I don’t want sad tunes heard. I want the jazz band out to play, In place of some death dirge.

Her fire department is not much, ’Tis one truck full of buckets chucked. Her post-office vanished one night, With hardware too which went from sight, The barber shop was in the rear, Straightway in ashes it disappeared. Last year, our new school house went too. I was not here but heard the news, Of how the burning timbers fell. And now in lodge halls we must dwell. Our Own U. S. A.

People cannot call us a green town today, We’re quite up-to-date for a town so small, With our churches, our schools and big town hall Only wait till our new building stands by the way, And our fine corps of teachers have full sway, We’ll send our students to halls of fame, From this little town with an emerald name. English I Long years ago there lived in old Japan, A very feeble, old, and funny man, He spent his time in playing funny jokes, This one I tell you was his favorite hoax. One day, while he was walking down the street, A tried but ’touchy friend, he chanced to meet, And quick came inspiration to his mind, And to his friend he said in tones so kind. “Why, Friend, I have not seen you for some time. Your meal will not cost much more than a dime, So, you, to-night, must come and dine with me, Together we will drink a cup of tea.” The friend arrived, and soon the meal began, A dish was brought in, it contained a fan, The friend surprised looked so his host said, “I serve you as a meal this fan for bread.” “Whenever you do come to visit me, As you have come this evening, for tea, You always are so rash and hot,—that I Want you to cool off once before you die.” _A. A. Page forty-seven Class ' EMERALD Lise ns Music This year an effort has been made to create an interest in music which will prove of lasting benefit to the schools and to the community. Early in the fall a high school chorus was organized. Owing to crowd¬ ed conditions the Junior High School pupils could not become members, but we were able to use all of those from the Senior High School who wished to sing—about fifty in number. The work of the chorus has been done in four parts to a great extent and an attempt has been made to use only songs of marked value—such as those taken from the works of masters of music. Among those numbers were, “Oh, Italia, Beloved,” “Pilgrims’ Chorus,” “Unfold, Ye Portals” and “Send Out Thy Light.” Some of these selections will be used at the Com¬ mencement and Baccalaureate programs. A Girls’ Chorus was organized and meets after school. About twenty- five girls take part. Owing to various conflicts our orchestra is not as large as we wished, but the eight people whom we have will prove the nucleus for a larger or¬ ganization next year. In the Seventh and Eight grades technical work, opera stories, lives of great musicians and so forth have been studied. In the canvas to learn how many instruments there are in the school we found seven violins, a cello, mandolins and guitars in the Seventh grade. Similar conditions exist throughout the schools, so that there is no reason why we cannot have a mandolin club, and a brass quartette, besides our orchestra and solo instruments. We have talent among our students which needs to be developed, which needs to be patronized and the payment will prove far greater than the energy taken to stimulate interest. With our new building, adequate equipment and enthusiasm Green- town schools can be put on a level with any larger school. Page forty-eight Class IMER lD 19 2 0 John E.

Page forty-nine Class EME R TLD_ 1920 Domestic Science The high school enrollment was small this year due to the fact that many preferred to postpone this work until the new building becomes avail¬ able. The first half of the year was spent in cooking, the last half in sewing. As cooks our six Freshmen girls cannot be excelled, and as seamstresses we feel sure they are the equal of the best. The classes in Junior High are large. Nineteen girls in the Eight grade spent two days per week at cooking. The Seventh grade girls numbered twenty-eight. They did sewing once or twice a week and made the articles needed in their kitchen work next year.

Mr. John Frakes befriended the school and an outdoor ground was provided. This afforded some practice and a few out-of-door games were played. The following boys have represented the team: Whitney Carr, John Smith, Gerald Marshall, Wayne Johnson, Virgil Johnson, Ronald Freeman, George Scott, Clarence Lafollette and Chester Warnock. The boys deserve much credit for the fine showing made under trying conditions. After Christmas a hall was rented and three games were played in the home hall. Some fine exhibition of basket ball ability was displayed which gives promise of a winning team next year as not one of the team gradu¬ ates this year.

Page fifty-four Class ' EM E R ED L ?2 0 The High School Play It was not until near the end of school that the faculty decided a play should be given. Owing to our handicap for a suitable stage, it was thought for some time that the attempt should not be made. Because the play came so near the end of school, it was necessary to give it one night only. Every member of the cast performed his part excellently. Alice Miller as the Indian Princess played the leading role for the girls, while George Scott, as Grant Hayden, had the leading part for the boys. Especial mention, however, is due Wayne Johnson, Geneva Gentry and Elsie Murphy. The parts played by these young people pleased the audience greatly. The coach, Miss Parson, deserves much credit for the excellence of the performance. Every seat was sold and standing room was at a premium. The gross re¬ ceipts were $123.90. The play was given on Thursday evening, April 22, in the I. 0. 0. F. Hall.

The admission of Freshmen into High School. 2 . The enactment of a strict loafing law. 3. The organization of the girls’ chorus into two territories to be known as “Extra Chorus,” and the “Basket Ball Team.” 4. The prohibition of note-book trade in the Senior class. 5. The payment of many per cents in deportment by the faculty. 2. What was the Dred Scott Decision ? A Junior named Esther Mendenhall, whom her master, one of the faculty, had moved to the next table, which had been made a distin¬ guished place near the front, sued for more privileges. The faculty held that she had descended from another table and could not claim membership with the former set of whisperers and therefore could not bring suit at law in the courts of the High School. Here the faculty might have stopped, as this settled the question before it, but the faculty added more demerits to her deportment record, listed in the faculty’s report and therefore it was not settled until after the Civil War. 3. Name the two leading parties of Thomas Jefferson’s administration. Josephine Seagrave’s and Wilma Bagwell’s. 4. Give the Freshmen plan of Civil War. 1. To capture the Senior boys. 2. To keep the Sophomore class loyal. 3. To invade the teachers’ class books and to devastate their black marks in deportment. 4. To issue a blockade of paper wads. 5. To divide the High School into two parts by capturing Mr. Abell. 5. Give the immediate results of the discovery of brains in California. All three classes, the Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen, made a grand rush to the mines. Never before had there been such im¬ migration to the West. This was one of the main causes of the panic of 1920. These brains were in circulation trying to capture the Seniors’ intelligence so they could be the supreme rulers of the High School.

The first thing he likely learns is that to drive a nail he must hit it, but the greater part of his blows find their way to his thumb nails. The Archimedes principle is sometimes discovered when he finds that he is lifted by the amount of water he displaces and not by how much creek water he gets down his throat. Specific heat also plays an important part in his research for he gen¬ erally finds that a board or switch is hotter than the dust of the summer’s road when his mother wants him to run an errand.
