Page 2 SCHOOL BELL ECHOES f OUR ALMA MATER HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL The first school in Baugo Township was or- ganized in 1839, nine years after the organiza- tion of Elkhart County. The first high school in Baugo Township was organized in 1909 as Baugo Township Cer- tified High School. There were ten students: Hazel Proudfit, Georgia Kern, Mary Wenger, Imo Kreighbaum, Maud BeMiller, Warren Cook, Ona Ehret, George Holderman, Lewis Wilcox, and Russel Ehret. Mr. Holben was the only teacher and taught the Eighth Grade in addi- tion to the high school pupils. Three of these pupils remained to graduate. It was the intention of the State Board to certify schools for three years ' work only, but a special dispensation was secured for four years ' work in 1912-13 on condition that a suit- a ble building would be erected the following year or the school discontinued as a four year .school. Thus Baugo Township High School en- joyed the distinction of being the only four year Certified High School in the history of Indiana. The officers to whom credit is due for Baugo Township Certified High School were Trustee John D. Bristol, and C. 0. Ehret, Charles Bel- den and James E. Proudfit, Advisory Board. In 1913, while Mr. Bristol was still town- ship trustee, but with the Advisory Board, David Stickel, Frank Watkins and Samuel Kern, a new ibuilding with five class rooms and an auditorium was erected. This was the first school erected in Indiana under the then new law permitting and legalizing centralization without the many former technicalities. Three high school class rooms and two grade rooms were added to this in 1925, by Trustee Peter Huff man and Advisory Board, Frank Kriegh- baum, Charles Belden, and Arthur L. Paulus. In the last two years a gymnasium and en- tire new high school department was added. This, according to the state high school inspec- tor, has made the school one of the finest school plants in the state. The trustee is Mr. Hoover and the Advisory Board, Carl Replogle, Glenn Parcel and Herbert Kilmer.

Page U SCHOOL BELL ECHOES Left to right, seated — Carlysle Moore, Helen Holderman, Eunice Walters, Grace Motts, Mary Deak, Helen Hendricks, Dorothy Gentzhorn snd Forrest Albright. Left to right, standing — Raymond Steele, Ellsworth Martin, Robert Molebash. Maurice Sawyer, Joe Gaspelin, James Replogle, Leonard Ernsberger, and Frank Kavas. FOREST ALBRIGHT (Bus)— A star in every- thing, especially athletics. He can sing, , play a clarinet, and in fact do almost any- thing. What Jimtown would have been yyith- out Bus is hard to imagine. MARY DEAK (Mary )— Always ranks first— in grades and otherwise. As her name implies, she is always just Merry. FRANK KAVAS (Frank)— When we think of Frank we think of music, for just imagine him without his trumpet. JAMES REPLOGLE (Jim)— Band, plays, sports and all school functions have been aided by him ever since Jim came to Jimtown things have happened. EUNICE WALTER ( Eunice)— Eunice is known for her school spirit. Active in all school ; affairs. Where Jimtown is represented, she is present. MAURICE SAWYER (Sawyer)— Peppy and witty. Maurice is the life of the class. He , has been one of the first five in basketball for two years and plays in the band as a drummer. JOSEPH GASPELIN (Joe)— At first Joe was the original Cave Man, but now we guess he is outgrowing it. He is a big boy, and he plays a big horn in a ing way. HELEN HOLDERMAN ( Helen)— Helen wants to be a nurse and we are sure her jovial ' ij manner will help her a lot. She is noted for her ability and willingness to do things for the class. DOROTHY GENTZHORN ( Dorothy) — She came from Nappanee and all the time that she has been at Jimtown she has always been a friend, and he who is a friend, makes a friend. GRACE MOTTS (Grace)— Grace has left most of her bashful traits behind in her freshman vear and nov is among the most popular. She gets some of the highest grades in the class. In fact, she is a high-grade girl. ELLSWORTH MARTIN ( Mike)— Ellsworth ' s attentions are centered in a certain little Osceola girl, and we are jealous. Neverthe- less he has always shown much interest in old J. H. S., taking part in a wonderful way in the Senior Play, track, baseball, and other school activities. LEONARD ERNSBURGER (Pat)— Pat is right pat in everything. His one weakness is Algebra. He has played in the band in all his High School Career, and took part in the Junior Play. He is light-hearted and happy. Here ' s to you, Pat.
