We, the annual staff of ’62, would like to express our appreciation to Mr. Baker whose faithful service to our class made this, a year we will remember. He made our Senior year one of accomplishment and of order. And so in this last year of our school, we wish more than ever to thank him for the loyalty in sponsoring the ‘impossible” seniors and for giving us the incentive of doing what the sponsoring required. 3 ROSEMARY BARNETT Secretary Se niors of ROBERT DENNEY President ' 62 JANET WEISS Student Council 4 DONALD CURLESS REBECCA DRAPER JON BRIGHT JERRY BIGGS STEVEN BENNET JAMES BLACK Motto What we are to be, We are now becoming.

DUKER Class of 1962, Fifty-four former and yours! Your class is the last of an era extending over nearly three generations. Your grandparents and parents, and you, will probably talk about the good old days t Linlawn and Noble, priding yourselves in the pleasures and personalities of the past! This is understandable and commendable. These words are a plea for the future. Progress is ruthless with one’s memories. Your formal and vest, symbols of your happiness now, will also become inadequate for future similar occasions. Let’s not discard the memories, but envision the possi¬ bilities for the next three generations. They will be ours! Let’s wish them the best. I, too, will have my memories—unique in comparison to yours. For me it is the Alpha and Omega of a sehool—Noble. Few men last the entire lifetime of a school. Let’s say I have been lucky. Together, let’s wish the best for Northfield and Southwood. No name will ever sound more peaceful than Linlawn, nor no name more ethereal than Noble, but the same peace and dignity ean be ours in the field, or wood, whether it be North or South.

Dear Students, When you are reading this yearbook the first time I am probably back borne in Finland again and one of the most colorful and worthwhile years of my life is over. But not all of it is gone. I brought back with me all the good memories, which will be with me for the rest of my life, and 25 extra pounds of myself, which may be with me a long time, too! During this year I gained an entirely new understanding of and sympathy towards the United States and Her people. It was a wonderful experience to share the real life of your country, and I do hope that I helped you to know and understand Finland and her people better than you did before. I considered it a privilege to get to spend my year in a small school such as Noble, where I got to know everyone and had a chance to make many close friends. You were a fine gang to be with. I also wish to thank all the teachers for their understanding of me and friendliness to me, which never gave out despite my repeated efforts. I know it required some effort of them, too, when I got out of Mrs. Myers’ study hall to play ping-pong or when I turned my book-report in to Mr. Jones five weeks late 1 I enjoyed this year very much. I hardly passed a day here without experiencing something new and interesting. I shall never forget my year at Noble. I wish you all the best of luck, and may you succeed in life!

Pirates Operation School Spirit I I Schools 100 years ago Present schools Future schools 69 126 Years When the city of Wabash was laid out in the spring of 1834, there was little thought of education, but a year later, after the fixing of the county seat, the civil organi¬ zation of Noble Township, and the complete surveying of Indian land, the population increased so rapidly that soon parents began to think of an education for their youngsters. Even so, special “schoolhouses” were un¬ thinkable, as they were not only impractical, but almost useless: a schoolhouse wasn’t used long enough at a stretch to warrant the expense. Nevertheless, school was held in the year 1836-37— the first time—in a building which had been previously used as a storehouse. Though the attendance was small, about twenty, and the discipline was not the best, the teaching, done by Ira Burr, was considered above average for the time. The next three or four years the schools were con¬ ducted much in the same way. A storehouse, a short term, and a few pupils made up the entire “school system.” Our township. Noble, was the first of the county to realize the necessity of a separate school building. In the spring of 1840, School District No. 1 having been formed here under contract to Joseph Ray, the frame building was erected “on north part of lot 157, a little south and east of the freight depot of old Wabash, St. Louis Pacific Railroad.” The little building was com¬ plete with a small playground near-by. Along with certain other private buildings rented by school authori¬ ties, this school supplied the demand in District No. 1 for the next decade or more. In the ’50’s the situation was at first far from good. 1853 showed only fifteen schoolhouses for a potential of 1363 school-age students. These were certainly not the best, being described as “uniformly in bad condition— usually log structures and illy supplied with even the ordinary paraphernalia of the schoolroom.” Legislation finally got behind the schools and taxes started helping out. It was about time, too, for in the year 1854-55 for a total of 1191 pupils, only $571.50 was paid for their education. During the latter years of the 1850’s several schoolhouses were built, providing a school year a full sixty-five days long. What was considered improvement in the curriculum was established as well. 70 of Education 101 years ago (exactly) there was published a map of Wabash County. Among other items on this map was included the locations of the schools of Noble Township at that time. Our division page map shows twenty-four of these schools in the township; however, there may have been a few more. It wasn’t long after this in 1872 that Pawpaw Township was created using the northern part of Noble and the southern part of Pleasant Town¬ ships. They did their best, but school improvement wasn’t of too much concern when the first schools were built: the young people were being “educated,” and that was all that was thought to be necessary. The change was grad¬ ually starting, however, and the first superintendent of schools, Irving Stratton, took office in 1873. His visits to schools and reports on those visits revealed many things that teaching methods were and were not offering. Here is a bit of what he had to say: “Jan. 12 Rich Valley Recess. Noise fearful—dancing, jumping, hollering— almost everything that should not be allowed—When bell rang a doz. pupils stood around the floor and took their seats of their leisure. Hats on—floor dirty—spitting on floor. Small geography wll recited Lesson well as¬ signed. Pupils then asked what their lesson was No criticisms on recitations they were very good.” Oct. 13. Dis. No E. Dennis—teacher. Class . . . reciting from a spelling book! . . . classes in reading were told by their teacher how to pronounce all words that they could not readily pronounce themselves . . . often they had been told fully one half of the words . . . The small pupils were stting on high seats with their feet dangling in the air almost a foot from the floor, while some of the larger ones were sitting on the smallest seats in the house. It was a pleasant day. Yet the stove was red hot making the temperature at least 95. ... The teacher worked hard, but he did not Know how to tegch.” Exactly when the number of schools actually started decreasing cannot be said, but after more legislation and attention to schools, instead of building more small schools, the old ones were added to and made larger. As far as is known Linlawn was the first real consolida¬ tion of schools in this part of the county. There is a bit of controversy about whether the school was named after the lin trees in the lawn or after Miss Effie Lynn, a distinguished teacher of the old Quaker Brick School House and the first principal of Linlawn. Linlawn was located to take advantage of the interurban lines running along that area. The plan to include all the outlying one-room schools by this did not work, for it was not until the success of Linlawn was firmly established that the small schools finally gave up around 1916. The Rich Valley school, larger than most, endured until 1933. Linlawn at that time was a high school, and was j thought to be one of the best, as its students competed successfully with much larger schools. Though the date on the building sRows 1902, it did not actually open its doors for classes until the Christmas time of the year ' 1903-04. This first class graduated in 1908 and con¬ sisted of four persons. When the interurban finally did go out of business, the students were hauled in by horse- drawn “kid hacks” with curtains as sides and worse. Mechanization later reached the busses, too, and pro¬ vided safer and more efficient transportation. Though the roads often made it hard to get to the school, and more than once the “bog before the building” tied up the busses, still the number of students increased until the present building was built in 1926. The first year of classes here was 1927-28. Though the school was not as crowded as it is now (how could it be?), the curriculum was much the same except that the em¬ phasis was slightly different. An interesting thing to note is that at that time the “B” team in basketball was made up of girls. Not so much stress then was placed I on athletics as it is now, though it was followed. I Considering the salaries of teachers during the depres- ' I sion and the hardships of keeping going, it is a wonder that the school could keep its doors open, but it did and well. One of the first big steps that was reached shortly after was our little school’s undertaking of the first an¬ nual in 1937-38. Though not fancy, the first Treasure Chest was neat and interesting. It established a precedent for the students of succeeding years to try to make a good and better annual each year. Here are a few of the activities of that year to show some of the differences of now from then. —Books were laid aside on September 6 as the entire school enjoyed a swimming party at Diehl’s pool. —The P.T.A. demonstrations included a humorous de¬ bate by the “B” team of public speaking class on the question. Resolved: that the expenses of a date should be divided equally between the participants. —A definite schedule of assembly programs was planned by the teachers for each week. The ’40’s were a sort of transition period for Linlawn. At least it was principal-wise. Paul Stone, the man had come from being principal at Linlawn’s first building to our school to be the first principal here, ended his eight¬ een year term in 1941 by an untimely death. During that decade Condict “Connie” Smith, Gilford Gurtner, and Joe Shanahan started their service in office. Our present principal was slightly later and didn’t come in until the year 1952 and has served us well through this last year of our school. Also in the ’40’s started another milestone of our school. Though the senior trips that we know as the good time in Washington, D. C. started in 1949, the senior trips actually took place for a long time before that, going to Canada, Chicago, Niagara Falls, and a few others. This is the last year for this trip, and it is some¬ thing that will be missed by our future senior classes. “Friendly rivalry” has always existed between Chip¬ pewa and Linlawn, that is, as long as Chippewa has been around since 1911. Most of us still have the memory of those afternoons off to see the baseball games between the two. So in 1953 when the consolidation of Chippewa and Linlawn came about, it became impera¬ tive that Linlawn go by some other name to alleviate differences. Although the name Noble Township High School was on the building from the beginning, it was actually called Linlawn High School until that year. That was the last consolidation for nine years. Then again this year our Christmas present, though late, pro¬ vided a “little” excitement for the remainder of the year. The burning of the LaFontaine school during the vacation brought about a sudden consolidation of our schools and quite a jump in our attendance. Still, though it was crowded and there were problems, I don’t believe that any of us can say that we did not enjoy their little sojourn among us. Now we have reached the end of an era. Nearly half of our graduates left us in the past decade, and we are expanding beyond our seams. Our new schools ' , North- field and Southwood, are going to take over where the rest leave off, and though we love our little school here, we look forward to a better community and a fine future with this advancement. Sincerely, we hope that no matter what school they come from, our students will be up¬ standing, far-sighted, and truly noble. 71 lUl ri«|1 ml 1 f Schools in Noble Township Linlawn 1902 j j I Chippewa 1911 I ;i I Noble. 1962 Southwood (Northfield — Same) (Metropolitan) 1962 Chippewa Graduates Muriel Custer Roy Gamble CLASS OF 1914 Gladys McCown Allen Wilson Lawrence Murphy CLASS OF 1915 Frances Vincent Grace LaSalle Muriel Lavengood Helen Likens CLASS OF 1916 Charles Vincent Ira Wilson Ruth Wilson Earl Bolinger Georgia Emery Ruth Wilson Dallas Johnson Byron Wilson Gtece Wolf Martha Petery CLASS OF 1917 Opal Custer Mildred Dearmond John Ganvin Mildred Barnette Lois Sloop Gilbert Talmage Raymond Tristler Bessie Blake Enola Custer CLASS OF 1919 CLASS OF 1920 Blanche Huddleson Thelma Story Von Beal Pearl Bolinger Josephine Cory Dorothey DeArmond Nova Ewing Phillip Hettmansperger Dorothy Oswalt Merle Engleman Madge Barnett Isabelle Binkerd Hazel Johnson CLASS OF 1921 Margaret Kennedy Viona Scott Francis Wilson Russell Alber Imogene Barnett Mabel Beal Beulah Beamer Mabel Blake CLASS OF 1922 CLASS OF 1923 Elbert Carr Oliver Custer Robert Hetzler Wilbur LaSalle Edna Niccum Helen Wilson Robert Kinerk Theodore Lindsey Veva Story Mildred Thrush Phillip Walker Emerson Allman Paul Bohn Willie Custer Ruby Dillman Anna M.

In 1956 the class chartered a bus and went to Lansing, Michigan, to celebrate their 25th anniversary. Two former teachers and their wives accompanied this group to Michigan, Mr. and Mrs. Von Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Otto Bechtold. We, as a class, would like to wish all the Noble students luck and success in their new Southwood and Northfield Schools. This page sponsored by the CLASS OF 1931.

In later years, while turning these pages, if you should recall the many smiles, sorrows, and dreams of all the years, we shall be content, knowing that we have done the thing we were called upon to do. We have tried to present each division and activity of high school work and fun. We have all joined in to make this Treasure Chest one of the best ever. We feel that your satisfaction with this volume is our compensation, and with this thought, I proudly give you the 1961-1962 Treasure Chest.
