LLEWELLYN November 21. 1 874-April 21 . 1939 Superintendent New Castle City Schools 1917-1939 Pago four In Mexnoriam He held his place — Held the long purpose like a growing tree — Held on through blame and faltered not at praise- Towering in calm rough-hewn sublimity. And when he fell in whirlwind, he went down As when a lordly cedar, green with boughs, Goes down with a great shout upon the hills. And leaves a lonesome place against the sky, Edwin Markham Page five Faculty School Board Ray L. Davis, president; Claude Stanley, Secretary: and Mrs. W, H. Boyer, Treasurer, form the school board which is always working for the betterment of the city schools. Each of the three answers some specific need in the school supervision. To- gether they effectively guide the school system. Superintendent Mr. Edgar J. Llewellyn, who is com- pleting his twenty-second year as City Superintendent of Schools, is an untir- ing leader of both teacher and student. Under his guidance, the city schools have been brought to a high standard of ef- ficiency. Mr. Llewellyn ' s name and leadership became immortal to us after his sudden death at his desk on April 21 . Page eight The Rosennial Staff takes this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Valentine on his elevation to City Superintendent of Schools. May he fill this office as successfully as he has that of Principal of New Castle High School. Page nine MISS CLARA WESTHAFER English Ph.B. JOSEPH CREENSTREET Journalism, Latin A.B.

CORTIS SELKE — a competent and willing vice president to the nth degree. HELEN PREBLE — a charming and efficient secretary to our class and our president. BOB BITLER — a trustworthy and caoable keeper of the treasury. These are the official representatives of the Class of 1939. We feel we have chosen as good a foursome as has ever gone down in the annals of senior class officers Along with choosing our class officers is the task of choos- ing the class motto, flower, and colors. Those which gained highest favor this year were: MOTTO — We enter to learn; we leave to live . FLOWER — American Pride Rose. COLORS — Turquoise and Old Rose.

Page twenty-six An Open Letter To the students of NHS. : I have found it a pleasant task to work with and for the youth of any cominunity. Especially is that true with you who are the youth of this par- ticular community. I am confident that no group of similar size could be found any place which would be more cong enial, more willing to do the things which are good for all. Never have you been called upon to meet a particularly trying problem when you did not respond nobly. It has been my infrequent duty to show some of you that what you were doing was not for your good or that of others. Such action — or words — seem seldom, if ever to leave any lasting ill will either in your hearts or mine. Never have I intentionally prevented any student from telling his story. I have always listened carefully to suggestions for the good of the school. Naturally, many of the good points about our school can be traced directly to suggestions offered by individuals or groups of students. I have told you many times and I believe that you feel that, This school is mine. It is poor, good, or superior, very largely as I make it so . I have tried to keep young with you. I doubt very much if I ever can grow old so long as I work with you who are young. I have always tried to take the advantage of your youth and inexperience by pointing out to you constantly that what you are acquiring in habits and knowledge here will help you to become the men and women you hope to be. Other things being equal, the ones who profit most by these habits and this knowledge become the best men and women also the most successful. You have inspired me. You have made me determined in my stand that the boys and girls of today — in spite of other reports to the contrary — are the very best since time began. Sincerely, Principal of Senior High School Page twenty-seven Class of ' 40 David Hayes President Bill Saint Vice President Phyllis Ray Secretary Martha Schuffman Treasurer The Junior Class of New Castle High School has as its yearly objective the annual Junior-Senior Prom. To work ef- ficiently to any end, leadership is required. Having the Prom as its aim, the Junior class chose leaders in David Hayes as presi- dent; Bill Saint, vice president; Phyllis Ray, secretary; and Mar- tha Schuffman, treasurer. Under the sponsorship of Miss Fern Hodson and Mr. Fred Coar, this class was the second to be fully organized; the prac- tice was initiated last year by this year ' s graduating class. The juniors were very fortunate in securing for their Jun- ior-Senior Prom, Paul Barker and his orchestra from Indian- apolis. The reception was held oh Friday, May 19, 1939, and that evening can be remembered as a most successful one. The Class of ' 40 numbers two hundred on its roll ; and from this class, many outstanding accomplishments are expected. Page tiveiity-eight (reft) ROW 1 — Robert Adams, William Aitchison.

Yesterday approximately four-hundred students entered our beloved portals. Today they are full-fledged members of the student family of N.H S. As seniors, we look upon them as our equals in nearly every resepct, be- cause many of them have taken part in cur activities instead of waiting until their junior and senior years. Thus, they are better fitted to take advantage of the opportunities when they become upper classmen. They have begun early to build an outstanding class. In September of ' 37 they came as freshmen to N.H.S. physically and mentally scared, but in September of ' 38, they returned with a feeling of security and assurance. In September of ' 39 authority, respect, and re- sponsibility will become them as juniors. Frethmen Hithtry We know ' ou all think we ' re babieth. Waal — ' ou were thume onths.

Honor Society it is believed by both students and faculty members that those students who showed initiative and interest in their work as well as leadership among their classmates should be properly recognized. Therefore, the National Honor Society was organized in 1934. Miss Westhafer aids the members in their efforts to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, stimulate a desire to render service, promote worthy leadership, and encourage the development of character in the school.

However, this new asset also brought a problem. Mr, Creenstreet, faculty advisor, had to initiate a group of boys into the art of printing. But after the first few hectic weeks of working both day and night, things began to run smoothly. The Phoenix has made rapid progress in the past year. The first-se- mester staff was the first to publish a paper when we had only a three day week because of vacations. The second-semester staff put their heads to- gether and published an experimental daily for one week. It was a success- ful experiment but the lack of facilities and sufficient time prevented their continuing this project. However, they have set a goal towards which fu- ture Journalism students may work. Page forty Hi-Y Club Following their code, clean speech, clean living, and clean scholarship, the Hi-Y club has very successfully taken charge of the refreshments at the football games, held a school dcnce. had an annual hay-ride, and established clubs throughout the county. This was all dons under the leadership of the two sponsors, Mr. Jones, school sponsor and Mr. Wittenbraker, Y.M.C.A. sponsor, and the able as- sistance of all members.

The Sunshine Society has been responsible for this extra cheer. The group was organized during the second-semester of 1938 by Mrs. Fylious Fisher, its sponsor; and it has become one of the largest and most active groups in the school. The New Castle Chapter was happy to be hostess to the tenth annual state convention here on April 1 with approximately 2,000 girls attending. N.hH.S. is proud of Doris Ellen Field, the State President for year ' 39 and ' 40. Science Society The hum of a motion picture machine or the echo of highly technical phrases this past year always led any curious eavesdropper to one of the sci- ence rooms. Here he found all students interested in this world of scien- tific wonders at a Science Society meeting. During the past year Mr. Bronson and iVlr Hodson, science teachers, with the cooperation of members presented many entertaining and educa- tional programs.

The band has played for home games and other school functions. It also played in the Ball State Music Festival at Muncie, and made a large con- tribution in producing the Crescendo Varieties. Marching in colorful for- mation was one of the most popular features of the band. Orchestra The High School Orchestra, under the leadership of the new instructor, Mr. Copeland, has played for several functions this year, among which were Christmas Concerts, Thanksgiving Programs, Senior Play, and Commence- ment. In addition to this, the Orchestra played a major part in the produc- tion of the Crescendo Varieties. The type of music which the orchestra has played varies from the bet- ter known classics to modern light opera. Page forty-three CHOIR GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB Choir Miss Dorsey chose twenty girls from the Girls ' Glee Club and ten boys from the Boys ' Glee Club to make up the High School Choir. During the past year, this group of singers has well represented the high school on num- erous occasions by having taken part in many school and community pro- grams. Girls ' Glee Club Ninety-five larynges of NHS. are the members of our Girls ' Glee Club. Under Miss Dorsey ' s direction, they represent New Castle in the annual fes- tival at Ball State College and provide vocal selections for our senior activities. Page forty-four Boys ' Glee Club Choral Club Approximately twenty boys vocal- ize every Thursday afternoon in the Music Room. These boys are pioneers in the boys ' music division and are mak- ing fine progress. Of the ninety-five larynges in the Girls ' Glee Club, Miss Dorsey has chosen thirteen girls who have entertained num- erous organizations of the community this year and in the past. The members place a high value on the experience re- ceived from the different performances. Crescendo Club We are becoming Music Conscious! For proof, we have a club of seventy students who desire to learn more of music appreciation, composers, and the types of music. These students presented the Crescendo Varie- ties, a successful concert, on May 12, which was defi- nitely appreciated by the citizens of New Castle. VARSITY CLUB Charles Roper Honorary President David t-layes President Arthur Turner Vice President Bob Kalk Secretary David Felix Treasurer In 1937 the varsity members of track, football, basketball, and baseball organized under the name of the Varsity Club. All boys who have won their letters in any of the sports of New Castle fHigh School are eligible to membership. This organization has as its purpose, as stated in the constitution, to promote a closer union among the members of the var- sity squads of each sport. The chief objective of the Leather Lungs is to boost the Trojans to more vic tories and to help keep the students inter- ested in all sports. This goal was reached by selling buttons, feathers, pictures, by giving school dances, and entertaining all athletes and athletic coaches. All this is under the splendid supervi- sion of the two sponsors, Mr. Leslie and Mr, Fessler.

BOOST!!! These pep- py, enthusiastic girls have been doing just that. They ' ve boosted the Trojans to vic- tory on the gridiron, hardwood, and cinder path. They are also athletes themselves. They meet every Thursday night at the gymna- sium to play basketball, volleyball, ring tennis, and all kinds of active games, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Harrington, Physical Education teacher for girls. NATURE CLUB PHYSICAL EDUCATION SPEECH CONTESTANTS SPANISH CLUB READING CLUB FRENCH CLUB Introducing PHYSICAL EDUCATION: Here we see the boys on the bars and the girls playing volley ball. This work is designed to develop them not only phys- ically but mentally and socially as well. It teaches them also the value of good sportsmanship. THE SPEECH CONTESTANTS: They have had a very busy year having placed fourteen entries in five contests: the Wabash Oratorical Contest for boys, the Henry County Republican Oratorical Contest, the American Legion Oratorical Contest, the Franklin College Speech Contests, and the Rotary International Discussion Contest. From these entries were representatives in two state finals. NATURE CLUB . . READING CLUB . . SPANISH CLUB . . FRENCH CLUB . . The second semester of this year saw the advent of four new clubs into the extra curricular life of N.H.S. Under the sponsorship of Miss Smith, Miss Stoddart, Miss Pogue, and Mrs. Eden these clubs have had an enthusiastic beginning and promise an interesting and active future. Page fortij-seven Vocational Education DEPARTMENT OF TRADES AND INDUS- TRIES: The work of this department is either general or specific in Trade and In- dustrial Education. While it may seem that there are two types of instructional content, yet they are closely related. The work given on an Industrial Arts basis is aimed more for general industrial informa- tion. Its purposes are to give general edu- cation in various materials of industry, their fabrication and use in industry, and a variety of manipulative skills and general indus- trial information. The work given on a Trade basis aims to give certain definite trade training and skills necessary to be- come a worker in that particular trade. Last fall this department was reorgan- ized and expanded. In the General Shop two wood lathes, a bandsaw, and a variety saw were added. The Foundry unit was increased and other units were reorganized. A Machine Shop was started with six metal lathes. The following units are now a part of this department: Drafting — Mechanical, Machine, and Architectural. General Shop — Cabinetmaking, Pat- ternmaking. Wood Finishing, Mill, Foundry, and Cold Metal Bending. Machine Shop — Lathe and Bench work. Plans are being considered to add, in the near future, one or two units to the General Shop — probably Electricity and Sheet Metal. The Machine Shop is to be enlarged by the addition of more and dif- ferent kinds of machines over a period of the next four or five years, until a com- plete shop has been installed. Mechanical Drawing — Learning the Universal Language of Industry. Machine Shop — Turning and Forming Metal. Foundry Unit of the General Shop — ' Making Sand Molds. Mill Unit of the General Shop — Just a few of the ma- chines in this unit. Printing Room — Composing Table. Foundry Unit of the General Shop — Melting Metal to Pour a Mold. Page forty-eight HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics De- partment is comprised of two different phases of work: cook- ing and sewing. Mrs. Fisher ' s girls have made much progress in their study of home manage- ment, foods, and the planning of menus. This year they have served lunches to the teachers one day a week. Miss Wright ' s Dressmaking class shown on this page is en- gaged in making their spring frocks which some of the girls plan to wear on the various senior activities. The girls have found that they may have al- most twice as many clothes for the same amount of money if they make them. VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE The Vocational Agriculture Course aims to improve the home making, agricultural, ed- ucational, and social advan- tages of the boys of the com- munity. This is one of the many new additions to the Vo- cational Educational Depart- ment. Under the able direc- tion of Mr. Damon Catron, the work has made great advance- ment, but plans are to expand this work to meet the needs of the rural school population. ART The Art Department, under the direction of Miss Manifold, has expanded extensively in the last two years. It furnishes for those students who have a flare for pen, pencil, brush, or crayon a chance to develop their talent. COMMERCIAL EDUCATION The Commercial Department now offers a better, more extensive course than ever before for the student interes ted in business. The Bookkeeping class shown here is busy trying to get trial balances to balance. This typing class finds perfect copies a problem. Page forty-nme Athletics Y i4MAk ' 1 COACH DONEL SMITH: An assistant in both football and basketball, Cob , has laid the foundation for the brilliant teams of New Castle High. His moral influence will always be remembered by Trojan warriors. COACH MAURICE BAKER: New Castle is proud of Criz , a hometown boy who has brought home the bacon . Always a build- er of men, physically and mentally, he devel- oped a squad that not only brought the North Central Championship back to the Rose City but also one that was undefeated throughout the entire season. COACH WILBUR ALLEN: A basketball player of fine ability, a gentleman at all times, a builder of character, Strings this year again produced an outstanding team. His tireless effort of the past two seasons showed effect, and he developed a team that was the maker and breaker of Conference Champions.

They won the North Central Championship and be- came the second Trojan Eleven to win the title since football was introduced into the con- ference in 1931. This year ' s team was regarded by many as the state ' s outstanding eleven. The team went through the entire season without a defeat and with only one tie game to spoil the otherwise perfect season. They rolled up a total of 2,548 yards from the line of scrimmage for an average of 283 per game. The team journeyed to Anderson for the first game of the season. Although most of the game was played in a driving rain, the Trojans turned on the power in the second half to subdue the Indians 25 to 0. The Trojans entertained the Muncie Bearcats for the first game played on our own field. After a bitterly contested battle, the Trojans won a 6 to victory. Rushville ' s Lions were easily defeated 25 to 0. The second stringers played most of the game. The Richmond Red Devils became the next conference victim of the powerful Trojans by the score of 36 to 1 3. They were the first team to cross the Trojan goal. Southport ' s highly rated team was victim Number 5 for Baker ' s Charges. About five thousand fans witnessed this contest, and the final score was 20 to 6. The Trojans clinched the Conference Championship by defeating Orville Hooker ' s Mar- ion Giants 1 2 to 7 at Marion. The Trojans were handicapped in this game because of injur- ies to several regulars. Connersville ' s Spartans were easily outclassed by the Champs v ith a score of 36 to 7. The afternoon of October 28, was a sad, sad occasion for the Trojans, for it was on this afternoon that they let the state championship slip through their fingers by per- mitting the little Sheridan team to hold them to a score- les s tie. The Trojans went out for the Noblesville Millers with blood in their eyes, determined to get revenge for the tie game of Sheridan. The result was the worst drubbing the Tro- jans handed any team all year. The final score being 54 to 6.

After a rather cloudy basketball season the year before the same group of warriors laced their shoes and scrambled into their togs to avenge those smarting defeats they had received. Slipping into the same rut as last year the Trojans fell vic- tims to the powerful Hagerstown Tigers. The next week, how- ever, they proved their ability by defeating ConnersviHe and Muncie. At the turn of the year the Trojans again defeated Muncie at the Big Four Tourney, but fell to Anderson in the final, a game which was later to be vindicated. The highlight of the season was reached when the Trojans, glowing with determination, conquered the hitherto undefeated Kokomo Wildcats by the score of 32 to 25. This game toppled the Cats from the top rung of the North Central Conference ladder. 1 Page fifty-eight Basketball Colts Later in the season, the New Castle boys placed Kokomo on the top again by defeating Anderson. Using a stiff zone de- fense, they stopped the Indians at every turn. The Trojans won by a score of 30 to 24. After a season of twelve victories and ten defeats, the Tro- jans entered the Sectional tourney where they emerged victors after four hard games. The thriller of the Sectional was the New Castle-Middletown game in which the Trojans conquered, by a score of 28 to 25, the same team that had collected Sec- tional honors the year before. The Trojans entered the Regional tourney at Muncie and after defeating Parker fell under the conquering heel of the Burris Owls. Thus another basketball season came to a close.

As you start on your journey of life we say, good luck . Warren Stretch Lewis To these six boys fall the respon- sibility of another successful season. This year they were guided by the senior members of the team but next year they must fill the shoes of leaders. Their job is just begin- ning. They must carry the green and white banners of New Castle far and wide. They must win; sec- ondly, they must be sportsmen at all times. They must have courage, stamina, and determination.

With a wealth of material, from last year, joining the squad, everything looked quite rosy at the Twenty-Second Street athletic field. At the first call for track, about sixty boys entered competition for po- sitions on the team. From this group Criz picked a team to represent New Castle High School. With this year ' s team built around such stars as Roper, Turner, Felix, Kessel, Cassidy, and many others, it was an outstand- ing team in this section of the state. t ' ■ xJ Q ' 4 «S.f Page sixty-tivo i Golf and Tennis Much more enthusiasm was displayed this year than ever before in golf, a com- paratively nev high school sport. When Strings Allen made the first call for golf, about thirty candidates re- sponded. A schedule was arranged with several of the Trojans ' traditional rivals and the team enjoyed a successful sea- son. The new team was composed of Dick Hufford, Dean Morrell, )ohn Pfen- ninger, Marshall Koontz, and Russel Chard. Several racket wielders turned out at the first call for tennis this spring, which was under the direction of Strings Allen. A twelve match schedule was ar- ranged. Out-of-town matches were scheduled with Burris of Muncie, Tech- nical of Indianapolis, Richmond, Central of Muncie, Winchester, and Conners- ville. The team was built around the veterans, Don Mastin, Bob Modlin, Ernie Tidrow, and Cortis Seike, and strength- ened by two underclassmen; namely, Dick Wittenbraker and Pierre Zetter- berg. Page sixty-three Features i pr «n  !iM President ' s Address FRIENDS and FELLOW CLASSMATES: We, the largest graduating class in the history of New Castle High School, have reached the culmination of a journey; and today, as we retrospect over four years of educational training, we express the desire that our work has been well done. Our tasks have not been easy ones. There have been many trials and tribulations, but we have also made many friendships and enjoyed many happy hours. To you, our parents, we owe an indebtedness that cannot be repaid by material wealth, but only by a minute particle of pleasure that we might, by chance, bring to you. To you, taxpayers, our teachers, the citizens of New Castle, we are indeed grateful. All of you have made the ideal of graduation — today, a reality. To you, under classmen, we express this urgent wish that you will take advantage of the education that is being afforded you. Take advantage of the opportunities that offer them- selves through extra-curricular activities. Men and women who become leaders in science, in finance, and in industry have not let opportunities for advancement pass by, but have taken advantage of such opportunities. At times your efforts will seem to be in vain, but by steadfastness and perseverance you will as assured victory in the end. Thus education is a definite path to success. Men are directed through their lives by various forces. Many are content to drift, but others surge forward with perseverance and determination toward a definite goal. Far too many of us, having caught a vision, let it vanish into the distance; we live only for today. But some few — a very few — with keener insight and higher ideals venture through life with feet on earth and head in the clouds: men with vision. We know not what awaits us, but no matter what our life ' s work — whether it be the highest in the land or the lowest — let us strive to be those chosen few who venture through life with feet on earth and head in the clouds. Let us never lose sight of that definite goal; never lose our perspective on life. Without an objective at which to aim. we are as blind men groping in the dark. foundation We, ourselves, mold our futures. What we think, what we feel, what we believe — these are the constituents which go to make up that edifice called life . Thus it is not so much fate, or destiny, or luck that brings success. Rather it is hard work and preparation. Lastly, we are thankful that we live in a country that encourages education, rather than in a nation which fosters ignorance. As young Americans, we are truly the dictators of our own destinies. Classmates, in parting, let us always remember these words: It matters not how straight the gate. How charged with punishment the scroll- I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. By Morton P. Goldberg Page sixty-six Class Song LE COMMENCEMENT It ' s just the beginning, And not the end. It ' s onward to winning. To you we extend Our thanks for the memories We ' ll always keep Of roaming the hallways, Of studying always. We ' re out to succeed In thought, word, and deed; So here ' s what we say, In going away, To you, our dear teachers, Our old school pals too, Our thanks to you.

May Breakfast One of the most enjoyable events of the Spring Activities for the senior girls is the Annual May Breakfast, held in the Masonic Temple, and given by the New Castle Business and Professional Women. Since 1930 this event has been enjoyed by three-hundred members of the club and honored guests, including the mothers of the senior girls. A very beautiful program is presented with songs, speeches, musical and dramatic numbers, all in keeping with the colorful decorations and fes- tive array of spring flowers. We senior girls appreciate this event given in our honor, and we shall try to fulfill the slogan of the Business and Profes- sional Women ' s club: to be World. The Queen of the Festival for this year was Helen Preble. Her attendants were Mabel Danley, Patsy Patrick, Betty Erickson, Mary Phyllis Scott, Jhane Clancy, and Dorothy Wayman. The committee for the Breakfast included: Margaret Quigley, Program; Susan Bak- er, Decoration; and Carroll Blount, Menu. Verena Hutson is president of the club.
