Students of Linlain, during all the twelve years of their school course, depend upon that morning signal. Through rein or snow or sleet, the faithful driver goes steadily onward. No obstacle store him. He never fhils to make his sched- uled erpeerence. So customary is his service that sometimes we forget to give his credit For his fideli- ty end perseverance. ' The Linlewn student body and teachers wish to ex- nress their ahnreciation for the faithful cooperation of these men durin? the school year LQSQ-40. Through the assistance of the heck drivers, stud- ents were provided with trensportetion to the basket- ball games. Therefore, Linlewn had many Tens to sup- port their team. The heck drivers have done their Shfre of enter- taining also. Linlewn heck drivers and teachers played Chippewa heck drivers end teschers in e most interesting and amusing series of basket hall games. Proceeds were used to provide uniforms for the bands of the two schools. Linlawn's share amounted to approxi- metely one hundred dollars. . i TREASURE CHEST OF '40 , , ,, .,,,, v, ,, , ,wr '1. , H T: Z Vtlblg A Xl: r's?Qgp -lf1fLjf gm. if - F24 f' f 1 1 :ltr e f ., f'i ',gQf f ii: M ,Liga '- gg, r e o e me OUR JANITOR Since 'the new Linlawn High School building was built in 1926 Mr. Spencer Bricker has been the Janitor.

Margie, who is a student at the Institute, has dreamed of winning the medal for a secret reeson. The trustees, who award the medal, know of Margie's secret and in the past have deliberately kept her from winning. Margie confides to the girls that she is the niece of Mrs. Bowers, who endowed the Institute with half of her fortune with the provision that the re- maining half go to her should she win the Cecilian Medal before her twenty-first birthday.Should she fail, all of the fortune would go to the Institute. The girls are anxious to help Margie and they decide on a plan to outwit the trustees. The plan is successful and Margie wins the Cecilian Medal.

Parsons' DAY ' The students, teachers, hackdrivers, patrons, and friends of Linlawn again enjoyed the annual Big Din- ner. This year it was held on Friday, March 15. Three tables, which stretched the entire length of the gym- nasium were laden as heavily as possible with delicious food. Everyone seemed to enjoy the fine dinner. Immediately after the meal was finished, the tables were removed and chairs placed for the program. An amplifying system, supervised by Roger Wright, added greatly to the success of the event. This new arrange- ment overcomes the acoustical difficulties of our gym- nasium--auditorium. The P.T.A. held a short business meeting, at which last years officers were all reelec- ted for a second term: President, Von L. Williams, Vice-president, Roy Kroftg Secretary-treasurer, Mildred Stoops. After that the orchestra played a few numbers, Under the supervision of Mrs. George Black, a group of girls from the choir at White's Institute sang four num bers. They were accompanied by the pianist, Mrs, Rollo BQSTQ Q 4 The seniors presented a sketch advertising their play to be given on Wednesday, March 27. We were indeed grateful to have our principal, Mr. Stone, with us this year. As we remember he was unable to be here last year because of illness. We count his presence both a pleasure and a necessary unit for the success of our big annual event. ' We are certain that everyone was filled, enjoyed the nrocram, and had a grand time meeting old acquain- tances. ,,, an Qrganization asm:I:-mucrnunuun mrmm:mDnunnonnnunnncnuucuunnnnunmcuamucmnuuuuuunusnmn Q 9 X!

This group is the first agriculture group of Lin- lawn High School. It is made up of two classes, one which includes the freshmen and sophomores and ethe other the juniors and seniors. Every boy in the group has taken up a project that pertains to farm life. Some have calves, hogs, chick- ens, colts, some are raising corn, potatoes, and some are making collections of insects. These projects are supervised the year round by the teacher, Mr. Lawson. Every boy is required to keep a complete record includ- ing feed costs and other expenses, and the progress of the project selected for the year. This vocational work was founded on the idea that the class work wfs to be supplementary to the work done on the farm. We learn in class what to do on the farm rather than learning on the farmfwhat to do in class. 5-53 I Lf ' -591 L- .1 - 1. X ,Ang . , 2.

Miss Lillian Berry, Professor of Latin at I.U., and one of the,authors of our second year . Latin text, is an enthusiastic supporter of the contest. Lin- lawn'has entered for three years. Each year a local contest is held, in order to select the students most capable of competing in the county contest. This year Walter Garrison, Wilodean Weimer, and Robert ' 'Ellison ranked highest. The first two journeyed to North Man- chester on Saturday, February 24. Three schools pre- sented contestantS:Chester, Central of North Manchesten and Linlawn. The examination lasted for two and a half hours. If you wish to know how difficult it was, ask the students who worked on it. After the examination is over,the teachers have their work assigned in grad- ing tapers. Since grading is done as closely as one tenth of a noint Cthere being from one hundred '- and eighty to one hundred and ninety points on one examina- tionj, you can imagine that the grading of papers is no easy task. This year one of our contestants, Wilodoan Weiner, stood third out of six first year contestants. She is named alternate to the sectional contest. More- over she stood only one and one tenth points below the second contestant. E Some day we hone to send P contestant to the state but we'll have to have one who is almost perfect in or- der to achieve that honof. NAd astran is our aim.

Those who have akre dy' graduated from Lihlawn are: Maroile Albright, William Rupert, Betty Cook, John Tharpe, and Earl McGuire. This year fl94OD we have three more graduating: Delor- es Weesner, Mike Mindala, and Bob Gliver. Throughout the past years never has there been a larger number enrolled here than this year. At the beginning of the year there were twenty-six, at present there are twentyetwo. To show our appreciation of this opportun- ity,eaoh of the classes had a party this year sponsored by the Institute. We hope thot the present sympathy and appreciation may continue to exist between the school and the Institute. V T TREASURE CHEST OF '40 ,b,.,-u...-....-, V ..

A decision was given only in the Peru-Iinlawn debate, in which Linlawn won. Next was the invitational debate tournament at Peru. There were twelve schools represented. Linlawn won . two debates and lost four. Then came the elimination tournament for the state debate contest. This was also held at Peru. Wabash and Peru tied for first and second place, winning four debates and losing none: Logansport and Linlawn tied for third and fourth, winning two and losing two. After double debates had been held to cancel these ties, re- sults were as follows: First, Perug second, Wabash, third, Logansportg fourth, Linlawn. There were seven schools in this tournament. The national subject for debate this year was Ren solved: That the federal government should own and op- erate the railroads. The teams were: affirmative, Dorothy Wilson and Bob Oliverg negative, Martha Esther Dubois and Paul Glass. The alternate on. our team was Martha Jane Brown. Out of six decision debates for each team, the affirmative won three and the negative won two. The debaters thought the work very interest- ing and worth while. TREASURE CHEST OF '40 4 . B DEBATE TEAM The B debate team, consisting of eight students,who debated the proposition, Resolved: That the high schools of Wabash County should adopt a system of only two grades: passing and failing. On December 7, the B team took a trip to Lagro where they had the opportunity of debating against Ches- ter, Laketon, and Learo. In this contest each school was allowed two teams for both the negative and affirm- ative sides. The affirmative teams were: Doris Schaaf Maurice Halleck Lily Whitaker Russell Eppley The negative teams were: Helen Cole Avis Fordyce Naomi Finkenbiner Ivan Rinearson Linlawn tied with Laketon for second place, both schools having won eight and lost eight debates. The affirmative team composed of Maurice Halleck and Russell Eppley won honorable mention, because of their accomplishment latin ning four debates straight and losing none. No other team present at the tournament come through with a per- fect score. The B teams debated against each other in speech class numberous times during the year, and everyone was given a chance to debate both positions on both teams. Bevond doubt debate proved to be one of the most interesting activities of our school year. Everyone put forth a good effort and hence our debating season was made a success.

The Linlawn Annual Staff has again put forth their efforts to publish the best Treasure Chest possible for the years 1939-40. John Lynn, our editor-in-chief, has spent many an hour in the Commerce room with Martha Stone as his assistant, working on the annual to make it a success. Due to the cooperation of the other mem- bers of the staff and the help of the advanced typing class, the Treasure Chest progressed rapidly. The annaul staff put on a hot lunch in February to raise money. There was quite a lot of work and also fun connected with it. Some of the senior boys made excellent dish washers. Through the cooperation of the entire school and due to the meeting of the Hog school that was held at Linlawn the same day, we cleared for- ty-three dollars. We hope that our successors will en- joy the work as well as the fun connected with the pub- lishing of the Treasure Chest.

Formerly, all the teams were divided into two sections. The two teams having the highest percentage in each section ,met to play the championship game. This year 'each team had to play every other team in the county, and the one who had the highest percentage of games won was the champion. The Pirates, with sur- prising hitting power and with a staunch defense, won the championship with a clean sweep. With one excep- tion, they easily defeated the opposing teams. The trophy was presented by the Main Auto Supply Company of Fort Wayne. The school presented each play- er on the team with Aa baseball pin engraved with the letter nL.W A The team was invited to a weiner roast by Mr. Ashley in honor of winning the trophy.

The,first Linlawn High School building, which is now the grade building, was built in 1902. In 1911 it was remodeled and an addition was built. During the school year of 1914-15, thirty-two per- sons were enrolled in Linlawn Senior High School. Mrs. A. B. Oswalt was principal at that time, and Mr. B. F. Hubbard, trustee. There were five teachers in the high school. Mr. Alvah Dubois was trustee when the school term of 1915-16 began. In the fall of 1917 a new principal was placed in charge of Linlawn. He was Mr. S. J. Birk. Mr. Von Williams began teaching at Linlawn in the fall of 1922, and he has been faithful to this work ever since. In the fall of 1923 Mr. Paul D. Stone and Mr. Arthur Iinkel began careers at Linlawn which have continued wit out interruption up to the present time. The school year of 1924-25 found Linlawn with six high school teachers. Fifteen school buses were in op- eration, part of them horse-drawn. The old high school building became to small for both grade and high school, so plans were completed for a new building.

Mr. Spencer Bricker was the first janitor of the new Linlawn High School. He has been on the job ever since, and everyone wishes to compliment him on his ex- cellent service. In the fall of 1929, Mr. Otto Bechtold began teach- ing at Linlawn. Mrs. Mary H. Adams and Mr. Roland Du- bois joined the staff in the fall of 1934. In 1938 Miss Jane Keller and Mrs. Winona Barnett were added to the faculty, and in 1939, Miss Mary Florence Howe and Mr. Harold Lawson. - At the beginning of the 1939 school year, there were one hundred and twenty-four students enrolled. This is an increase of ninety-two in the past twenty- five years, ' All of us hope that this school will continue to progress as it has in the past.
