McDonald CHAMPS BASEBALL SQUAD SUNSHINE BOY SCOUTS GIRL SCOUTS BAND GIRLS' GLEE CLUB ORGANIZATIONS The Linden High School Baseball team had a pretty fair season this year in spite of the fact that most of our home games had to be played away because of water on our ball diamond. We won five out of nine games. Our Basketball team did much better. Out of our eighteen regularly scheduled games we won fifteen. In addition to this we also v on the Montgomery County Tour- ney. We defeated Ladoga In our first game, Alamo in the second and Waynetown in the tourney finals. In the Sectional tourney we v on our initial game with Darlington, but lost to Crawfordsville in the sec- ond game we played. Crawfords ville then won the Section- al. Close to the last of the basketball season, the Bulldogs took a few new members into their squad. They were Don Hall, Junior Denham, Ed and Bob Brewer. Athletic sweaters were awarded to five Senior boys. They were Woodrow Barton, Student Manager, Albert Brown, Oscar Burton, Bob Stephenson and Reid Hampton. The Junior High ball club had a good season, losing only three of seventeen games. Fourteen boys make up an A and a B team. Mr. Tipton has been coaching the group. The Sunshine Society of Linden School has 26 mem- bers from the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes. The motto of Sunshine is: Others, the col- ors, yellow and white, and the song, The Sunshine Girl. The Sunshine Society has had a tea for the Faculty and members of the Sunshine Society. We also had guests from the Crawfordsville Chapter of Sunshine. The officers are: President, Betty Johnson; Vice- president, Mary White; Secretary, Jean White; Treasurer Lee Lochard. On March 5, the Sunshine gave a Leap Year Dance for the High School. Entertainment and dancing was en- joyed by all. Boy Scout Troop 32 organized in 1944, with 10 mem- bers. Rev. Ketsler was scoutmaster; Eddie Barton, ass t. The purpose of scouting is to help a boy lead a good, clean life, to be a good citizen, and to educate him in real-life experiences. The Scout Troop now has nine members. The leader Raymond Lyon with Jlddle BartjoxL as assistant. The Girl Scout Troop was organized about l£ years ago. It now has 13 members with Evelyn N. Royer as a leader. There are 5 Senior Scouts and 8 Intermediate Scouts. The Linden School Band has 36 members. The offlaers are: Pres., Bob Stephenson; Vice-Pres., Bill Kindell; Sec'y- Treas., Martha Campbell. Twirlers are: Martha Campbell Geraldine Mahan and Nancy Switzer. The Band has made several appearances this year. First, at the Lions Club Circus, given to raise money to be donated for new Band uniforms purchased this year. The second appearance was a Winter Concert. The third was at the Annual R.E.M.C. Meeting. Later they played at the District Farm Bureau Meeting at Crawfordsville. Four members, graduating this year, received band sweat- ers. Chevrons on the left sleeve indicate the number of years in band. Stars are placed on the right sleeve for first-chair players, officers, twirlers who have served four years, and soloists in the State Contest. Marie Pearson has one star for first-chair player, Bob Steph- enson, one star for officer, and Martha Campbell has three stars for first-chair player, officer, and solo in the State Contest. The Junior Band was organized in the fall of 19L7. It has 17 members from the Uth, 5th, and 6th grades. All members started on their instruments at the same time. Their first public appearance was made on the Winter Concert given by the Senior Band. The Girls’Chorus sang at the Christmas program and also on the broadcast. Of the 25 members, 8 will graduate this spring. The Boys' Chorus consists of: Morris Smith, Bill Kin- dell, Bud Kitsmiller, Bob Irons, Bases; Lavon Vannice and Reid Hampton, Tenors. They sang at the Christmas program, on the broadcast and have appeared as soloists and quartettes before the student body. The Triple Trio was organized to sing whenever the Chorus could not do so or time was too short to prepare a num- ber with the full Chorus. The girls competed for parts in the trio and are selected on a competitive basis. CO CM CO SHOP Our Shop is open again and seems to be a very busy place. Eddie and Frank Barton, the custodians of the school, have been with us for the past b years. Our building is one of the best kept in this part of the State. Y e are proud of this and we also appreciate the personal interest they take in our problems. Our Advanced Typing includes Office Practice, Filing, Dictation, Records and Reports and Duplicating. We received a new Mimeograph machine as a gift from the Class of 1947. COMMERCIAL V- CM eo Geraldine Iviahan, this year's annual ueen of the Echo, was chosen by the Senior Class from the Junior and High School classes. Gerry is a Freshman, member of the Band and Girl's Chorus. She is also baton twirl- er for the High School Band. She is a Sunshine Member and a Girl Scout. Gerry was chosen on character, per- sonality and popularity. The Seniors are indeed happy to bestow this honor upon Geraldine and sincerely hope that she may go on through school leaving behind her kind words and noble deeds.

Swooping down on the fair city of Linden, Indiana in our jet plane, we could see many changes—new houses, new buildings, new factories; but the sam6 old school house. We landed at the airport and immediately started on our tour through the business district. We found that some recent changes had been made In the various places of business. The Linden elevator, formerly run by Bob Stephenson, had changed hands, and Bob had taken over the blacksmith trade. While traveling on to the south side of Linden, we found that the town had been extended, and we saw a large sign along the highway, reading: Don and Betty’s Trucking Company. That had a familiar ring, so we de- cided to investigate. The first thing we saw when we opened the door was the former Betty Johnson sitting be- hind a large desk looking quite dignified. We went on south and came to another sign which read: Oscar Burton's Poultry Farm----Straight Ahead. Remembering that v e onoe knew a young lad by the name of Burton, we traveled on to investigate and presently came to a mail box which read: Mr. Oscar Burton, Esq. Then remembering that Oscar used to live here with his parents we decided that he must have taken over the farm, so with this thought in mind we drove up the driveway. Just as we stopped, guess who should come out to greet us? Our old frisnd Norma Lee—v ith twins! While talking to her we found out that they had become quite prosperous in poultry farming. We asked her if she knew where Albert Brown was, and she said that he was playing professional basketball and was staying somewhere near Darlington. We then hopped in our plane and shot over to Darlington and found him replacing an old driveway gate for a new one. We chatted with him for a while, 9nd he said that he had been to Linden and had noticed a new theater In the northeast part of town. We told him that we had just traveled through the main part of town and that we hadn’t stopped to see any of the sights, but we would go back. So we went back to Linden. We were walking down the street and who should we see but Mr� . Don Swick, the former Jean White. She said she was cn her way to t he new theater that Lester Robert- son had just opened, so we said if she didn't mind, we would go along and talk to Les to see how he was getting along. We saw him and he seemed to have a prosperous business. All the town kids were there. We ambled on up the street and noticed that a new beauty parlor was in town. The sign on the window read, Come In And Try The Irons Twins' Wave Special. So we went in and talked a while about old times. On the table was a newspaper which was named The Linden Chronicle. Jean said that Woodrow had started the paper about three years before, and now had close to fifteen hundred sub- scribers in Linden alone. We asked if he had ever got- ten his motorcycle, and they said that he had. We read in the paper where Woodrow, who had a great interest in concert music, had arranged for a concert to be given in Linden, by the Indianapolis Symphony, direct- ed by the concert mistress, Martha Campbell. Jean and Bob asked us if we had visited the school building since we had been in town, and � e said that we hadn't, but that we would, before we left town. We wandered over to the school building and, lo and behold! who wa3 teaching English there, but Miss Marie Pearson. Marie asked us if we had visited the new branch of the R. R. Donnelley and Sons factory that had been moved here by the former Wilma Kiger. Marie said that Wilma, who was now a Mrs. Winningham, was working at Donnelley's. We then realized that lunch-time was near. Marie asked us if we would join her downtown at Midge's Cafe. After eating a luscious meal, we asked Midge what had become of Frankie June Kelly. She said that Frankie was still at Purdue, only she was now working in the Chest- nut Room at the Purdue Union. So we bade Marie and Midge farewell and started on our journey homeward. Enroute home we halted in Romney at a newly built filling sta- tion run by Reid Hampton. We talked with Reid awhile and he filled our tires with air and then we started on. When we arrived home, we discussed the trip that we had just taken and we discovered that we had talked to the graduating class of 1948.
