ABELI To the Principal of our high school and the pilot of the faculty, we, the Senior Class, take off our hats. Mr. Abell is our Class Advisor and friend. His daily practice is just a few an- nouncements before dismissal. R. B. MILLER— Mr. Miller is the right hand of Mr. Abell. He is the Athletic and Manual Training instructor of the school. He has been connected with our Senior Class ever since the Freshmen year. R. B. is in for everything. NAOMI NEYHART— Miss Neyhart is our Latin instruct- or. She is especially proud of her Virgil class. We were very much afraid that we would not have Miss Naomi with us this year, as she was wanted by a particular young man to talk Latin with him over his tea. rnrtii n n nine;:: r. ■ H . $ I H , I yartuncT Page I I ' ll Q) ' £Tn« raL E fn rvk u O ► GLADYS BERGDOLL— The Mathematics instructor is the gay member of the faculty. She was very proud of her Solid Geometry class last year, but has now almost forgotten them. Miss Bergdoll and Miss Neyhart were the rooters of our basket ball five ' s, and never failed us. LENA GOYER— Our cook and sewing teacher is held in memory for the feed given the bas- ket ball boys after winning the Coun- ty Tournament. Miss Goyer su e has a time with those naughty Senior boys. So far we have not learned the name of her gentleman admirer. GLADYS RAGSDALE NEWLAND— Mrs. Newland, our Botany and Eng- lish instructor, played a joke on the high school by coming here under her maiden name. We are afraid Doc will claim her next fall for himself only and we will be the loser. f H Kfirtunol r . I g s s ztzhzh: I H t hort und Page eleven (C ) ' £■m rat ) m m ra lb O FRANCES S. TOMSON— Mrs. Tomson, our History instruct- or, came to this place from Wabash. By the Seniors she is noted for her lonfi: assignments and Elson Reference History. Her favorite sport is to list the names of the students who are not in their seats when the bell rings. VIRGIL MILLER— Virgil has charge mostly of the Junior High. He is the serious mem- ber of our faculty, but also knows when to smile. He is a friend of the lady teachers, and we fear he may be vamped. LEONA LEWIS— Miss Lewis is our Music and Art instructor. She is next to Mr. Abell with her announcements. The High School Orchestra is her pride, but the school ' s pestilence. Her sweet voice drowns out the discords in the High School Chorus and Glee Clubs. Tar h u m-Cl r : I Q s ■ c: ■ M .

Who can fathom the depths of his thoughts? CHARLES GENTRY— A modest and industrious lad. Fortunately not strick- en with the girls. He should have a wonderful future dowm on the farm. JUNE WEEKS— A cheerful and affectionate country lass is June. She is always ready to do anything that is asked of her and to do it cheerfully — a disposition as rare as it is pleas- ing. ELSIE MURPHY— A very mischievous maiden whose smile wins her many friends. For her, we predict a quiet, cozy cot- tage, hidden among the roses. Tnr t n r I n f . IQ SS n U . rSULT hortunol I ' aKe fourteei (O ' £Tn rata E mem TF 0 MABEL SMITH— Happy-go-lucky Mabel. Nothing ever worries her. She feels as if studies are not the only things in life. She is a lover of the male sex, ' tis said. ESTHER HONEAS— Although Esther came to us from Windfall in her Junior year, she has won a place among us as a stud- ious and industrious girl. JOHN HUNT— Clever is a weak word for our class president. We often wonder where he stores all of his knowledge, but we know that whatever he undertakes will be a suc- cess. John won his fame this year as back guard on the second basket ball team. WAYNE JOHNSON— We have not yet decided what Squirt ' s supreme am- bitions are, but he likes to sleep, to eat and to make a good actor. f. loss r, . - . . i H a I - o rt ij rTo Fnri-.tinrT Page fifteen (C ) ' £T rY [6 K mem u o VIRGIL JOHNSON— Werge our star back guard is the busy man of the Senior Class. He is now working his way as a printer and will no doubt be a second Benjamin Franklin. MENNO EBERSOLE— Menno ' s a jolly lad, never mad, never sad. Latin shark and an all-around star student, intends to be a teacher. He is a Menno ELVIN HORNER— Elvin is very amusing; always saying things in class that cause everyone to laugh. He is so shy that he remains awake at night planning ways and means to avoid the girls. JOHN SMITH— Captain of our basket ball team, fond of ladies ' com- pany, especially one. Finds life a series of hard knocks and good times. « m r: la s: r. ■ M . f i I [ I yartuna ro r t n n n I ' age sixteen Q) trim r« li 1tiYni rvilb i GERALD MARSHALLr— Skinny is our hero of the County Basket Ball Tourna- ment. Although he is more industrious this year than usual, he still has time to think of a former Greentown girl now at Kokomo. LILITH MORRIS— Lilith is a very shy young lady with a pleasing smile. She is always good-natured, taking everything as it comes. She is the art editor of the Emerald. GEORGE SCOTT— George is best known as a penman. His writing is hard to beat. When it comes to wanting things done, the teachers always know that George is dependable. He is Editor-in-Chief of the Emerald and hence did not write these lines. George expects to enter De- Pauw or I. U., this fall and will major in law. ALMA SMITH— Alma is a very blond young lady, but not of the perox- ide type. She is a member of the Girls ' Gl ee Club and will no doubt sing her way into somebody ' s heart. f- ' j s ZIZHZHZ i H I yart MncT Fnrt.nnrT Page seventeen (C . ' ' ftJTnt r-ttlA E m Trt D Seniors of ' 21 Thru many a year they struggled and fought, And many good deeds by them were wrought. Although thru life mistakes they made, They always out of sight did fade; They were covered up by much good work, For, they were never known to shirk. Thus they struggled thru rain and sun To be the Seniors of ' 21. For the best line of work on earth, The Seniors were qualified by birth; They always accomplished the things pursued, No matter how difficult, artistic or crude. They were ever there with unusual bustle. As steady and quiet as the leaves ' rustle. Yet continually having plenty of fun — Such were the Seniors of ' 21. Throughout their works you ' ll find no flaw. They ' re honor bound and create much awe; For basketball you ' ll find their name Shining brightly in the Hall of Fame. Hard work they never refured to do, And kept, Work and Win, as their motto true. Then, by such things to everyone, They ' ll be known as the Seniors of ' 21. Then as a reward for hard work at school. They finally reached the desired goal; Wearing an illustrious sparkling crown They ' ll e ' re be remembered with great renown. They were brilliant in work and also in play, Obeying instructions without delay; And speaking quite boldly, without a pun. They ' re proud to be the Seniors of ' 21. High School Song We have taken from the oak tree Its laurels of bright green. And white which stands for purity From the lily ' s purest sheen. CHORUS From the oak tree brightest green, Our laurel of victory. Uphold the colors of our school And always by the golden rule. We all shall praise and for it fight. Our flag composed of green and white. Our standards his h maintaining The honor of our school. Our characters too, we ' re building. By this golden rule. When you wander in the twilight ' Mid the evening, shadows cold. O ' er us proudly waves the green and white, Which gives us courage bold. — Chorus — Chorus « ZIZHZSZ I H I Kort uncT TTi r t n n n r. ac:. Page eighteen Qj ' Emprr id m JCh m rvi u lU Senior Class Historij By G. V. Marshall This Senior Class of Greentown High School of the year nineteen hundred-twenty-one is a genuine miracle in itself. The graduation of any class of our caliber from any high school is a miraculous event. There have been some very few schools, throughout the United States that could boast, to their credit, of having graduated more than one great man. This high school has the distinction of being the only one in existence that ever graduated a class, composed wholly of great characters. Each member of this class is endowed with some extraordinary gift, which will, in days to come, place his or her name in Who ' s Who In America. Greentown, in her future years, will look back with inexpressible gratitude upon our Senior Class and praise our inestimable achievements. We began our high school careers in very much the same manner as most common classes do — in the Fresh- man department. There were thirty-two members of that class. On the first day of school, the teachers were so elated over our marked degree of intelligence,, that there was serious propaganda for promoting us to the Junior Class at once. This, however, was soon discouraged be- cause of the large number of students already enrolled in the Junior Class. Toward the close of the term we were still laboring under the imnression that we knew it all, and that, life was but a dream. It seemed to us that we could drift with the current and slide by, but we were soon awakened by the able professor, Mort Lamb, and those who did not come-to, have either fallen out of the boat or have been shipwrecked on the sands of time. In our Sophomore Year, our school building was de- stroyed by fire and the remainder of the year was — filled in. It was in this year that several of our schoolmates migrated to other institutions. In our Junior Year we made another brave start in the Odd Fellow ' s building, having converted that place into a form of school the year before. It might be said that this year was uneventful except that we labored in- variably at a disadvantage and made the best of our sad misfortune. We were joined this year by Wayne Johnson, who had been serving overseas, and by Esther Honeas, who moved into our community from Windfall. Our Senior Year began splendidly in our new building. We had the best of accommodations and were exceedingly proud of our new high school building. Our opportunity had come and we began our work with an inexhaustable determination. Our school work became our pleasure, from whence came our recreation. Several of our class intend to go to college next year and prepare for the day when we step up and shake hands with the world. Although we feel that we have been re- paid, doubly for our efforts put forth in high school, we also have learned that the more we learn the more there is yet to be learned, and perhaps if we were to be examin- ed strictly, it might be noticeable that there are a few minor details of a few minor things that we do not know, and that — after all — we are just as common and ignorant as the average individual was when he or she was a Senior. H j-nrt.unn f. IQRS n ■ H . F? ■ I H S I horti nql Page nineteen (Q XTMOrata m E merrk D Senior Class Prophecij And now, our prophecy you shall read, — The fates say John Smith in all will succeed. Menno an absent minded professor will be, And Carr a great league player we ' ll see. Esther Honeas very early a happy housewife. And Elsie will later enjoy this life. Virgil Johnson, tis decreed will win college fame, For John Hunt they prophesy the same. Gerald Marshall will be a commercial traveler, For in selling goods he can surely palaver. Elvin Homer will continue a student of life, And Charles Gentry will never meet hardship or strife. Alma Smith a matinee idol will be; For June in the future much good fortune we see. Wayne Johnson an actor far renowned we see, And Mabel a writer of fiction will be. Lilith Morris will be a suffragette; In college halls George Scott will be met. Senior Class Will We, the Senior Class of Green town High School, of Liberty Township, Howard County, State of Indiana, con- sidering our mortality, yet our soundness of mind, do make on this 4th day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty one, our final will and testament as follows: First: All other or previous wills shall hereby be considered null and void. Secondly: We hereby leave to the Juniors as much as is needed of our title and rank and in addition our val- uable example. All that is left shall be stored away for the next generation. Third: The Class of ' 21 wills to the future teams of G. H. S. our marvelous and plucky basketball ability, hop- ing they will make good use of the same as they have our example before them. Fourth: We also wish to leave to the Juniors the right to discuss Emerson ' s Essays, and to argue with Mrs. Tomson as their American History teacher. Fifth: We wish to say many thanks to old G. H. S. for its protection and progressive spirit during times when we wee hard pressed or discouraged; to the teachers for their guidance, their excellent and untiring services and valuable advice in starting us out upon life ' s long and m r r. n n n r.ln zuhzsz I H I hort y tin I ' ago twenty C J ' Empirnld ] X mf ' Tvt LtL rugged journey; especially to Mr. Abell for his most val- uable aid in publishing this Annual; we leave the care of the Junior High School in the hands of Mr. Virgil Miller and Miss ( ? ) Gladys Bergdoll for another term. George Scott, Mabel Smith, Menno Ebersole and Elsie Murphy v ill to the Juniors their Virgil ponies and other valuable equipment used in Latin IV. Lilith Morris grants to George Pool her art materials, etc., for use in preparing next year ' s Annual. Elvin Homer wills to his brother, Lloyd, the right to talk incessantly; and his popularity with the girls. June Weeks wills to Olive Matchett her red sweater; and as the poet says, June may be had by the poorest comer. (For proof, ask Miss Goyer.) John Smith turns over to Chester Larowe, the habit of being tardy; and his favor with the teachers to Malcom Johnson. To Margaret Kirkendall, Esther Honeas leaves her stature and giggle. In the record of Charles Gentry, we find that he leaves to Harold Gentry his privilege of coming to school on the 8:50 car each morning. Alma Smith bequea ths to Isabelle Benson her happy and carefree disposition and to Madeline Woods her ability to sing. To Paul Bagwell. John Hunt wills his position in the High School Orchestra. Gerald Marshall gives to LeVon McCoy his hair-cut and his ability to handle Solid Geometry. Wayne Johnson, Whitney Carr, and Virgil Johnson refuse to give up anything worth while except their posi- tions on the basketball team and in G. H. S., since they expect to strive for higher positions, in preparation for which they will use most of their property and equipment. This is our last will and testament singned and sealed by our own hands, and witnessed by the following respon- sible witnesses, who be without blame for this, our word and will.

We now have the building, one of the best, if not the best of its kind in Indiana. It is fire proof which is its best feature. No more need the people of Liberty Township fear of awakening in the early morning hours and seeing the school building in flames. It is large enough to meet the exactions of an advanced educational program, and will be large enough for several years to come unless our city should suddenly increase materially. The heating and ventilating systems, which have recently been criticised, will prove their merit in the fu- ture just as they have during the past year. No parent need fear that his child will not be comfortable or in san- itary surroundings in this building. But we have only begun. Our school is the only in- stitution in which we all have a common interest. Book education is good, but we can and should do more for our children. Our kitchen, sewing department, shop, and laboratories should be more fully equipped so that we shall be able to do better what we are doing and do many more things along advanced lines. A Commercial Deijartment is needed, and additional instruction along musical lines such as piano, violin and other orchestral instruments. Is it too much to hope for the time when we can have our school dentist, school physician, school nurse, special teachers for certain children who need more help, teachers to supervise play during the summer months, a larger play ground as well as athletic field and a 100% school com- munity helping to do our very best for every boy and girl ? TRE EMERALD (Apologies to Longfellow) The days of school were flying fast As through the year ' 21 we passed The class who composed mid toil and strife The class book with the epitaph The Emerald. Their brows were knit; their eyes beneath Flashed like falchions from the sheaths, As on they wrote, nor never quailed Until their efforts strong prevailed In the Emerald. In study deep, they saw the light Of acquired knowledge gleaming bright. As from their books their eyes were raised While their lips spoke only words of praise, In the Emerald. And when in the twilight of life I shall sit And think of the years gone by. Of the boys and girls who were classmates then Here all their names and faces I ' ll spy In the Emerald. — June Weeks E rn r H 1 n n r-. I fi r. .

With soft and dainty hands; Considered by the sterner sex, The fairest of the lands. Her hair is fine, and black, and long, Her cheek is like the rose; Her disposition is so sweet. She is loved by those she knows. And looks the whole- world in the face, As on through life she goes. Week in, week out, most every day. You can hear her talking low; To the children of the village school. As down the street they go; About the tasks and duties that, They all should learn to know. She goes on Sunday to the church. And lends her help by choice; She hears the parson pray and preach, She hears her Sweetheart ' s voice. Singing in the village choir, And it makes her heart rejoice. Happy — rejoicing — inspiring. Onward through life she goes; Each morning sees some task begun, Each evening sees it close; Something attemped, something done. She deserves a night ' s repose. Thanks, thanks to thee, my village maid For the lesson thou hast taught! For always in a person ' s life. Their fortune must be wrought; And in the golden years of strife. Be pure in deed and thought. — Elsie iVxUrphy PROUER5S 1. How long wilt thou sleep, O pupils? When wilt thou arise out of thy slumbers? 2.

MUSIC The music department has tried to serve the purposes for which it exists, namely, to furnish music for special occasions, train in the student a desire for good music and enable them to produce it. The Victrola has aided materially in furthering the second purpose. A musical history class, boys ' glee club, girls ' glee club, orchestra, and H. S. chorus have enabled some stud- ents to recite music in some form five times each week. Each of the glee clubs have appeared in public sev- eral times and the two will furnish the music for the com- mencement exercises. The orchestra opened the evening program at The Fairy Shoemaker and Prince Charming. These two programs netted a good sum which was used in the music department. A good field is now open for the teaching of class lessons on instruments of various kinds and a number of boys and girls have talent to such a degree that our school will come to the front musically in the next few years. MANUAL TRAININQ The aim of the work in this department is not espec- ially the training of the individual for any one particular kind of work, but rather to establish in his life as habits, the underlying principles upon which success in the indus- trial world depends. With this as the aim of the depart- ment it is a misnomer to speak of the work as vocational, but rather it should be termed pre-vocational. The young man who does not regard his hands worthy of scientific training ought to be compelled to give them over to the unfortunate fellow who has lost his — the latter % f. lQ? S ZHELIBZ I H . t yor-Luna Tn rtxmn Page forty-two Qj Xmi rtit6 ' K.m Tvtlb would know how to appreciate them. A man can be just as much of a gentleman standing behind a work bench or forge, with grimy face and hands as the one who sits behind an office desk, and oftentimes is a better citizen because he is able to produce something of value to society. The youngster who is able to produce a good piece of work must necessarily have practiced neatness, accuracy, self-reliance, foresight and skill, — fundamentals to success in any avocation. The department can boast being able to reach more, and get more visible results from the slow pupils than can be had in any other department, because the pupil has the visible results of his work before him and learns to profit by his own mistakes. It can thus be seen that manual training does not aim to make blacksmiths, carpenters or painters of the boys, but rather aims to help the individual find himself in the industrial world and thereby become a more useful citizen. The following projects have been made by the begin- ners, 8th year: tie rack; stationery box; pen tray; book rack; coat and hat rack; foot stool; camp stool; broom holder; bread cutting board. The Freshmen class, some of whom are beginners in manual training have made the following projects: book rack; towel roller; foot stool; taboret; cedar chest; tool chest; kitchen stool; medicine cabinet; drawing board and tee-square; wagon jack and shoe shining stool. ART A number of interesting undertakings have been car- ried thru during the year in this department. Probably the first of note was the making of real Xmas gifts by the Junior and Senior H. S. classes. The students became very enthusiastic over art as an industrial subject. In the Seventh Grade girls ' section much interest was shown in the costume design work. At present both sec- tions of that grade are working on houses, carrying out certain ideas of interior decoration. The Eighth Grade sections have done stencil work, made various kinds of flowers, etc. In H. S. pine needle baskets, posters, paper flowers, organdy flowers and lettering have taken up the time. An attempt has been made to teach the things for which the student will have an actual need, either in mak- ing necessary articles or in making things that will add materially to the beauty of his surroundings. The upper classes made the costumes for the two mus- ical plays, with very little outside help. DOMESTIC SCIENCE AND ART The excellent spirit manifest this year fortells a great future for this department of our school. The Freshmen course consists of cooking, serving, sewing, pattern making and textile study. Twenty of the Junior High School girls have had two lessons per week in introductory cooking. Constructive processes of sewing are taught in the seventh grade. These processes are applied in the making of the apron, cap, holder, and towels to be used in the cook- ing course the next year. In addition to the above, a warm lunch was served at cost, one day per week for a period of two months. These noon lunches proved very popular as more pupils applied than could be served. Next year we intend to ex- tend this service so as to benefit more pupils. Knpfti I nrT f ' Q! s r, ■ H . B I H . i hortynal Page fortv-three (C ) ' £nn ry lA nrmi .ATiem O PH1]SICAL EDUCATION LATIN Since we have come to believe that education can be most efficient by being supplemented by a well rounded physical development, we have endeavored to foster this belief by giving physical education a place of greater im- portance than has heretofore been given it in the Green- town school. Under the supervision of the various teachers the gymnasium has been open to every pupil in the entire school and special classes have been organized for a great number of the pupils. Classes for the boys of the Junior High School have been organized, the time being given to physical training, personal hygiene and play. To accommodate the boys of the Senior High School who had no other opportunity for using the gymnasium, noon classes were organized. For the girls of the Junior and Senior High School practically the same program has been followed. Although this was our first organized attempt in physical training work and even tho it was not started near the beginning of the year, we feel that the benefit derived has paid for the eff ort put forth. A lively interest has been shown in every line of the work and it is hoped that the future will bring better organization and consequently bet- ter physical development for the students of the Gresntown school. The Latin department is offering to the students this year a four year course. We believe in the study of Latin hecau e it is to a large extent the study of the history of our own language. More than that one who has become familiar with the derivation of the words which he uses is likely to speak and write with greater clearness and ac- curacy. Inaccuracy in the use of language may be the cause of failure in many situations in the business world. Schools which afford training for newspaper writers, law schools, schools of engineering, medical schools and other schools training for professions advise or require Latin. We have tried this year to make as much practical application of our work as possible. Posters displaying the use of Latin in Advertising have been made and a sur- prisingly large number of examples were found. Another poster shows that many Latin phrases are in common use and another explains the Latin terms found in music. Charts which give the English words derived from Latin stems have been used in word study. The work of the regular course has been made more interesting by the use of Latin songs, Latin plays, cartoons, scrapbooks, study of State Mottoes, pictures and stories. 1 Fn r t, u ti n lHai: zrzBzs: nrpn- hortunol I ' age forty-£Cur (O 1Enif rt ta E m Tri u O) SOCIALS JUNIOR- SENIOR RECEPTION A new custom was established this year, which we feel was successful and better in many ways than the one formerly followed, namely, that of having the reception in the school building instead of a private home. The Domestic Science facilities are adequate for the preparation and serving of such a group and the Gym. of- fers a room that makes a splendid reception room. The Gym. was decorated with a canopy of crepe paper overhead, of old rose and silver and a parlor was made of the west end. This room was furnished with a large library table, floor and table lamps, rug, rocking chairs and pot- ted plants. The dining room was decorated in purple and old gold, the Senior colors, and each of the seven tables had a bou- quet of sweet peas. The dinner was served in Japanese style — the place cards and favors having Japanese designs and each of the seven waitresses were attired in Japanese style. The menu consisted of a four course dinner.. First course: Relish, Olives, Pickles sweet, Radishes, Strawberries with powdered sugar. Second course: Chicken-broth Rice Soup, Cracker Wafers. Third course: Chicken-a-la-King, Creamed Peas and Potatoes, Neufchatel Cheese Salad, Fruit Salad and Na- bisco Wafers. Fourth course: Ice Cream and Cake, Tea and Vanilla Wafers. Toast Master, Mr. Ronald Freeman, called on the fol- lowing persons for toasts: Mr. J. A. Abell, Our School, Its Future; Gerald Marshall, Our Teachers; Miss Berg- doll. My Pupils; Olive Matchett. Futures for Seniors; George Poo l, When I Get to be a Senior; Miss Lewis, Songs I Should Have Sung; and R. B. Miller, The Senior Class. Immediately following the toasts the guests were re- conducted to the Reception Room where they were enter- tained by piano solos, vocal soles and readings. The latter part of the evening ' s program was informal, the time being spent in visiting, drinking punch and having a general good time. ALUMNI RECEPTION The Alumni Banquet consisting of a three course din- ner was served in the M, E. Church basement. The pres- ent Senior Class and teachers of Greentown schools were guests. The room was beautifully decorated in school colors, and every table literally loaded with flowers. The Ladies ' Aid served the banquet and did credit to that excellent organization. Toasts were given by some of the old grads and others, after which all repaired to the Red Men ' s Hall for the initiatory service and dance.

There was never, at any time, any question about that. Yet when the end came there was much rejoicina: as all felt that our team had fought both well and nobly. The Domestic Science girls alon? ' with their teacher, be- lieving that the boys after three hard games in one day, would be hungry as well as worthy, prepared a small feast. This spread came after the tournament was over and when the hands of the clock were turning toward e]even. But altho late and tired everyone rejoiced for bright eyes, youth, love and beauty were there. The boys voted the girls and their teacher past masters in the art of cookery. IPRIQRT BANQUET On March the eighteenth at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Wright, the first team of basket ball boys and their guests spent a most p ' easant evening in celebration of the victory in the County Tournament and also of St. Patrick ' s Day. The colors, green and white, being suitable for both occasions, were abundantly placed about the home in many original decorative designs and streamers. The Shriners have nothing on this crowd of ycung people when it came time for them to be seated at the five prettily decorated tables, wearing their gay green hats with large white tas- sels and metal pi::es with green and white ribbons. A fine course of refreshments was served, consisting of grape juice, fruit salal, cakes and ice cream. Many novel and amusing stunts were pulled by the young people. Con- tests and fortune telling were the pastimes of the evening, and a number of flashlight pictures were taken of the group. QOOD TIMES On Monday evening, May 23rd, 5 to 7 o ' clock, the Eighth Grade held their last class social in Marcus Lamb ' s grove. Games were played and weinnies, onions and pickles made up the refreshments. On Tuesday evening, M ' ay 24th, Lilith and Oscar Mor- ris entertained informally the Seniors, Sophomores and teachers. The Freshman Class held their last social at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Simeon McQuiston on Thursday evening, May 26th. The teachers were guests. Mr. and Mrs. Abell entertained the Senior Class in- formally at their home on Thursday evening, May 26th. The Seventh Grade ,spent the hours 4 to 6 P. M. Thursday, May 26th, in Marcus Lamb ' s grove. A picnic lunch was enjoyed. r c Fn r t n nTT _G Io ns n .U .ir .

The first school was held in a log house, here represented, which stood on the lot now occupied by the res- idence of Herman F. Wagner. The school was conducted for the most part dur- ing the summer months. About 1855 the school was trans- ferred to the old M. E. Church building, which is now the re- modeled Quaker Church, and which in 1855 stood where the present M. E. Church stands. It seems that this church was used only one or two terms for aM3 T86 ' § school purposes and that a frame build- ing standing on the Kemper Bros, cor- ner was next used for one or two terms. In 1858 a frame building was built one square east of the present high school building, on the north side of the street. Here in this building the grand- parents of the pres- ent generation of school children se- cured their educa- tion to the tune of the hickory stick. Seats and desks were introduced in this building, and it re- mained the palace of learning until 1876. i r. a -; ZTZBZSZ i H a I rnpr.nnrT i-ortuncL Page forty-five (Q ' L-mp rrtld M ' Eim TVklb iZ ERECTED IN 1876 In 1876 the above brick building was erected on the north part of the present school ground. This building consisted of six rooms and for its day represented quite an advance in educational equipment. This building met the needs of Greentown until 1905, when a frame building was erected just to the north to care for part of the grades. The two buildings were used until the year 1912.

Brackemyre, superintend- ent. It was at this time that the school town of Green- town was discontinued and entire control of all schools in the township came under the trustee. The building of 1912 was in advance of most buildings in Indiana found in cities the size of Greentown and even larger. Few towns the size of ours could boast of a gymnasium or well equip- ped vocational departments in 1912. But the efforts of the builders of 1912, were in some measure thwarted when a terrible conflagration leveled this beautiful structure ori ' the morning of January 20th, 1919. Still the example set made the task of rebuilding much easier for those in au- thority in 1919. yr,rt,ur 7T r ilQ SS zuhzsz I H £ t -ortMnn I Page foi-ty-seven (Q ' rn r-rt I d E m TVk D c ERECTED IN 1920 On Wednesday, January 22nd, 1919, steps were taken to erect another school building ' . This time it was decided to build so that the people of Greentown would never again see their building in ashes. The new building is twenty per cent larger than its predecessor, and has utilized some of the educational ideas advanced since 1912. It is no ex- aggeration to say that the people of Liberty Township are justly proud of this beautiful structure, and it is likewise only human that the Class of 1921 are equally proud to be the first to carry a sheepskin from its portals.

So put yourself to it, and know how to do it And put all your heart to the work. — A. Conan Doyle The students of Greentown High School and the people of Greentown can feel that the team of 1920-21 has been a success. The team was heartily supported by the student body throughout the season. The total number of games played was twenty-four, sixteen out of which were won by Greentown. The Howard County Tournament was won by Greentown, but we met defeat at the sectional tournament. being eliminated by Marion who made a good showing against Anderson at the Regional. Since basket ball is king of sports in Greentown High School there is no reason why a high standard should not be maintained in this sport. Next season will see a good team out for G. H. S.

Mr. Miller also got busy as coach. A cinder track was built back of the school building and as an opener Whitney Carr, John Smith and George Scott challenged the rest of the team. The event took place on Friday afternoon, April 8th. The challengers won by a score of 47 to 34. On April 15th, Windfall invaded our camp and carried off the larger end of the score to the tune of 74 to 24. This, however, taught our boys that training was needed to win and many got busy. We again met Windfall, at their place on April 30th and this time lost by a score of 57 to 31. In the meet on April 15, the following boys won points as follows: Carr 11, Smith 7, Larowe 3, Abell 1, Douglas 1, McCoy 1. On April 30: Carr 15, Smith 7, Bagwell 5, Doug- las 3, and Larowe 1. In the district meet at Anderson, we had four men en- tered, but Smith could not make the trip. In this meet Carr won first place in the running broad jump and third in the pole vault. There were ten schools entered, and Greentown landed fifth place, being ahead of Elwood and Kokomo. In the meet with Kokomo on May 18, we were beaten by a score of 38 to 61, but in every event Greentown gave our neighbor a hard match. Whit.cy Carr starred for Greentown and was by far the best point getter of the meet, taking 19% points. H FnrtM nnL r. n C. . - . i n. i H p.

Many who came on Thursday evening return- ed on Friday, and there would have been excellent patron- age, if the play had been staged a third time. Fainj Shoemaker The Fairy Shoemaker is a pastaral operetta in two acts. The opening scene finds the shepherd boys asleep in- stead of watching their flocks. The fairies surround and waken them and just as they are about to go to work a peddler comes in. He sells them the secret of hidden gold which the boys eagerly covet. In the second scene the boys attempt to get the gold from the fairy shoemaker. He allows them to get it, they having bound him first. As they are ready to make oif, he lifts his magic hammer, which has the power to render them helpless. While they stand thus the fairies carry off the gold. This operetta was produced as Part I of a musical program given Feb. 22, in the H. S. auditorium. When B etsy Ross Made Old Glory Part II was a patriotic playlet entitled, When Betsy Ross Made Old Glory, and dealt with historical incidents grouped about the making of the first flag. About one bundled boys and girls took part during the evening. Prince Charttiinq Prince Charming, an operetta in two acts, was given May 13th, in the H. S. auditorium, under the direction of the Music Department. About 110 pupils took part in the pexformance. The parts of Prince Charming, Maid Molly, Jack and Jill and Cupid were played by Lee Shoemaker, Garnet Isaacs, John Franklin McCan, Gladys Robinson and La- von Ayers. The costumes of the Fairies, Butterflies, the Gold and White, the Indians and others were beautiful. The excellent success of the attraction was due to the un- tiring efforts of Miss Lewis and shows what can be done along these lines with the children. ri fl R s ZTZHZEZ I H .
