CALDWELL Principal. 0I'0ll!0 Within the covers of this book are found the reminders of boundless joys that we have shared in work and in play. Now that we, the Seniors of 1953, are about to be graduated, our Memories turn back to those days we shared. Here we wish to express our appreciation to our teachers for their efforts and their patience in bearing with us as we struggled through our various courses. In four short years they have changed us from awkward, bashful freshmen into young men and women who now stand on the threshold of new responsibilities. During this time we have formed friendships which we shall cherish for many years to come. Here we have learned some of the truths which should make us better men and womeng here we have learned something of living. Our lives will branch out into different paths as we each seek different goals, but here in Pinnell High School was laid the foundation upon which the structure of our lives will rest. For every life that has touched our own and made it a little better let us say, Thank you . AD INISTRATI N BOARD 0F ED CATIO Virgil Schenck Maurice Cunningham Alva Walker Dr. C. T. Malan R. N.

If f I , ' f , Mrs. Evelyn Caplinger, nsor CLASS HISTORY On a fine fall day in the year of 1941 twelve healthy youngsters boarded a bus for their first day at school. The first grade consisted of Harold Acton, Harold Carney, Alfred Dale, Carlene Peabody, Max Pittenger, Eileen Ragesdale, Jack Ross, Morris Wethington, Oliver Williams, Margaret Witt, and David Woodard. Our grade school days passed swiftly and happily, and before we realized it we were in high school. The next big step was when we entered the Freshman class in 1949. Our activities tint year were very limited. The class officers that year were as follows: President- Harold Acton, Vice President-Margaret Witt, Secretary-Larry Young, Treasurer- Jack Ross. The following members were Barbara Baker, Alfred Dale, Leona Haverkamp Sue Higgins, Marilyn Hiland, Carlene Peabody, Morris Wethington and Joan Robertson. The following year some of our activities were the skating party, a paper and scrap drive, and the decoration of the Christmas tree. The officers were President-Harold Acton, Vice President-Jack Ross, Secretary-Margaret Witt, Treasurer-Alfred Dale. Then we were Juniors. We had several activities that year. Some of them were the trip to New York City and then on to Niagra Falls, the jolly Halloween carnival the play called A Pair of Country Kids, a scrap drive, and the selling of candy at ballgames completed our activities. Our Junior class officers were President-Jack Ross, Vice President-Alfred Dale, Secretary-Carlene Peabody, Treasurer-Margaret Witt. The other members were Joan Robertson, Paul Brose, Sue Higgins, Lema Haverkamp, Marilyn Hiland, Carlene Peabody, and Morris Wethington. We are on our last lap now.

This trip usually takes place sometime in the spring before school closes. The Juniors have sold pop-corn, candy, and cokes at all of the home games. They sponsored the Junior Carnival in October where such consessions as fortunetelling, fish pond, cake walk, etc., were enjoyed by a large crowd. On January 9, the class, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Jack Mills, enjoyed a theater party in Indianapolis. They attended the Indiana Theater where they saw The I Don't Care Girl , the story of Eva Tanguay, who was formerly from Indianapolis. The class attended Junior-Senior Day at Zionsville.

SSS THE AIMS AND PURPOSES of the SUNSHINE SOCIETY Any organization should have a definite and worthwhile purpose in order to justify its existence. Certainly the Sunshine Society meets this requirement Indiana Sunshine Society was first organized in 1900 in Crawfordsville High School. Since that time many chapters have been organized throughout the state. District and State Conventions are held in the fall and spring, and these have proved very valuable. As a state project the societies contribute to the Riley Hospital of Indiana- polis. Each chapter is asked to contribute to the Riley Fund and this money is used in aiding the little patients to regain their health. Feeling the need of camp life for high school girls, the Sunshine organiza- tion has inaugurated a Sunshine camp. Each chapter may send girls to come where they may receive Sunshine instruction as well as renew fellowship and higher ideals. The work of the Sunshine Society is recognized by state and nation as being one of the best for high school girls, and any girl should feel both proud and happy to be a member of Sunshine, which stands for happiness, good cheer, and higher ideals. Mrs. Frances Coons, Sponsor I-II-Y A AIMS AND PURPOSE OF HI-Y There are in the United States over nine thousand Hi-Y Clubs with a total membership of more than 350,000 boys and girls. There are 400 Hi-Y Clubs and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs in Indiana with an erollment of 12,000 youth. These clubs take as their purpose the pledge to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. They build their program on a four -square platform of Clean speech, Clean sport, Clean living, and clean scholarship. The Hi-Y emblem is composed of the red triangle which is emblematic of the unity of spirit, mind and body--the White Cross, the emblem of supreme sacrifice standing for the light and purity of the life of Jesus, which is the central theme of the Hi-Y movement. The principles of Hi-Y. through its purpose and platform, are expressive of the Master's way of living. The Hi-Y movement has chosen Christ as its leader, and measures its service by His ideals. BOYS 4:-H CLUB GIRLS A-I-I CLUB AGRICULTURE It is the purpose of vocational agriculture by way of on the job training to give to the students an appreciation, and understanding of the soils of America- a true vision of soil conservation thru proper use and management. In short a realization that the farmer is a steward of the good earth with the obligation not merely to feed the generation of his era, but to pass it on to succeeding peoples-more productive than when he received it. This necessitates a know- ledge of plant food nutrients-how they are depleted by cropping-yet how they may be maintained by proper management practices-such as rotation of crops, use of cover crops, erosion control, fertilizer applications, and livestock pro- jects. The young farmer must be led to look upon a plant as a living thing which may be improved, nourished, and encouraged to respond to his wishes to dis- covering and using those natural laws pertaining to it. The young farmer must also have an acquaintance with the other form of life-animals. To be successful with animals he must have a certain love for them and understand the laws governing their improvement, nurture, and protection from disease. He must be braced for disappointment as well as prepared for success. We can not hope to supply all this information in our classes. And our purpose must be to create in the young man such an interest in this intriguing field that he will ever keep informed on the most recent findings. Finally, the purpose of any course in education must be to develop a citizen for tomorrow who will appreciate the heritage that belongs to an American, who will be an intelligent, ambitious, cooperative member of his own group, and who possesses a degree of tolerance to the ideas and ideals of his fellowman. AIMS AND PURPOSES OF VOCATIONAL HOME ECONOMICS The homemaking program includes instruction and guidance in the various phases of home economics in the junior and senior high schools. Opportunity is provided for learn- ing experiences in the home and community as well as in the school. The purpose of homemaking in the school is to enable the individual to live a more useful and satisfying personal, family, and community life. Some objectives of homemaking education are to help the individual to: l. Become better citizens through understanding and accepting the responsibilities and privileges as members of the family and community. 2. Acquire skills in managing a home and in performing necessary housekeeping duties. 3. Conserve the family's money through wise planning of expenditures and through wise selection, preparation, and care of food, clothing, furnishings, housing, and equipment. 4. Improve the family's health through understanding and practice of health habits, and proper care of the sick in the home. 5. Guide children wisely by understanding their physical and emotional neaeds. 6. Establish a wholesome attitude toward, and relationship with other members of the family and comm- unity. 7. Appreciate beauty in their daily environment and to make their homes, clothes and food more attractive. Homemaking education is integrated with the purposes of general education through the development of those attitudes, appreciations, and abilities needed by each individual for her present and future personal and family living. Home economics contributes much by improving their eating habits at school and at home, by solving their problems in personal development in relationships with their schoolmates, and with family and community groups, by teaching them to select appropriate clothing, and to use profitably their share of the family income. Homemaking education furnishes the foundation for a future career such as nursing, interior decoration, commercial demonstration, beautician, costume designing. It also helps them to find their place in community life as a social leader, recreational leader, or a homemaker. Anna Conaway THE VALUE OF HISTORY As history is taught in almost all schools in the United States, from the elementary through college, we wonder sometimes and are challenged some- times about the values of history. I believe the basic and most important value derived from the study of history is the understanding of our heritage, from whence we came, why we live as we do today, and how we have developed along the way. We are given a greater understanding of social and economic conditions in the past and the present. Some teachers maintain that we study history for the light it can shed on problems of our own time. As it is often said, history repeats itself, so we should profit by the mistakes of the past by avoiding these same mistakes in the future. We teach history in order to develop patriotism. In almost every country, history has been taught to make children love and respect their own country and admire its great heroes. At its best, history is studied and taught so that people may learn to square off their beliefs and attitudes toward other peoples and nations of the world. Perhaps through history we might come to a greater understanding of foreign peoples and their cultures. History is a source of new ideas and how life may be made better in the future. History may be used to help the student build and broaden his own point of view and his own outlook on the world. In summing up the values of history, we might say that it is of value in understanding our heritage, our way of life, a help in avoiding the mistakes of the past, a source for understanding other peoples of the world, and a power in broadening our own viewpoint. J ack Mills LIBRARIANS JOURNALISM THE AIMS AND PURPWES OF TEACHING COMMERCIAL SUBJECTS The Commercial subjects offered in Pinnell High School are elective and are primarily vocational, but it must be remembered that many students use them in their personal work, too. Bookkeeping, Shorthand, and Typewriting are offered to juniors and seniors. In the shorthand class an effort is made to train students in taking and trans- cribing dictation. A knowledge of bookkeeping and accounting is essential to all who wish to understand our modern economic system. All types of business men, store- owners, farmers, professional men--are required to prepare government reports, such as income tax returns, sales tax returns, and social security forms. These government reports must be based upon adequate business records. The primary aim of a course in typewriting is the development of typing power for personal and vocational use. There are other aims of the course, to be sure, such as the related learnings having to do with syllabication, capitalization, punc- tuation, and methods of expressing numbers, but these are secondary to the primary purpose of learning to type. Whether the student wants to use the skill for typing personal papers or for getting and holding a job, the early learning is based on the same fundamental principles. In second year typing the student receives a great deal of training in cutting stencils and doing mimeograph work which will prove beneficial in almost any type of office work. The most vital interest of all students is the preparation for earning a living, and many young people will seek initial employment in some business or office position. The work of the Commerce Department is planned to help the student for the present as well as the future. Frances Coons BAND The Pinnell Band has made excellent progress this year. Except for two players, the boys and girls were all beginners last year. Most of them rented their instruments for a period of three months. During this time they studied privately or in small groups with Mrs. Caplinger. At the end of that time nearly every player purchased his own instrument. The group has made several public appearances before the community this year. They have played at all of the home games where they performed on the floor between games. In these performances they were supported by members of the twirling class, which was organized at Pinnell for the first time this year. The brilliant solo work of June Brose, cornetist, should be given recognition here. Her very excellent musicianship together with her willingness to support any program have won for her the admiration and respect of all students who love music, and all patrons who wish to promote it in our schools. Supporting her in many performances this year have been our school drummers, Bobby Jarvis and Tommy Giles, who have also earned recognition as outstanding members of the band. All members of the band are to be commended for their good work and the many hours of practice they have put into the making of the Pinnell band. The Community club has been quick to recognize the need of financial help for the group. Last year they contributed the money for all new music racks which were very necessary. This year they bought a new street drum. There is still much to be done. The need of harmony instruments--namely alto horns and tuba--remains to be met. At the same time the need of proper uniforms is also apparent. All of this involves the spending of a lot of money and is certainly a project to be taken into consideration in the near future. MUSIC Teachers are gradually recognizing music study as a powerful force in teaching students how to live after Commencement. Music contributes to the healthful development of the growing child through two channels--the body and the mind. A healthy mind is the chief prerequisite of a healthy body. Clear thinking, accuracy, and intense concentration are demanded of the music student- -both vocal and instru- mental. He must read the note, think the tone, pitch and time, simultaneously with the act of singing or playing. At the same time he must watch the con- ductor and interpret his thinking. Subconsciously he must be alert to every other singer or player in the group. Nearly every one can sing. True not many have solo voices and become great singers--these are the talented few. But nearly every boy and girl can sing well enough to become a part of a group or chorus and sing simply because he loves it. In both instrumental and vocal classes we have a laboratory of self- government. Here the students learn to work together. Here, as in no other school activity, the will of the individual is subordinated to the good of the whole. Upon the shoulders of each individual in the group lies the personal responsibility for successful performance of the group. Self reliance, respect for authority, cooperation, and leadership are cardinal principles of character that are learned through music. These have been the objectives of the music students in Pinnell High School. In constantly striving for better performance they have developed a keen sense of values. In nearly every case the music students are also the best students in other subjects. They are the ones who have the ability to organize their time and take more than just the required subjects. In doing this they are reaching out and taking advantage of all that is offered to them. This will make them the better citizens of tomorrow. That, after all, is the basic objective of all education. Evelyn Capnnger ART CLASS 'MZWM - Wvm, wwiw -L.. ,. -1-.5 .yy 7 Miha MATH SCIENCE Before the group of Indiana High School Science Teachers this fall I heard a representative from Western Electric make this statement, There is a critical shortage of technically trained scientists. If all students, now enrolled in the science schools of our colleges, go into the work of science after graduation, they will no ways near supply the number needed. He appealed to the I-ligh Schools of America to stimulate more interest in the study of Science in order to meet this desperate need. Emphasis on individual experiment and the use of demonstration was stressed as against stricly text book teaching. The ability to think clearly and logically is probably the most important achievement to be obtained in a high school education. No other subject like mathematics contributes to the development of this ability. Today we use mathematics every time we look at the clock or the calendar. Every time we buy anything and add the bill we use mathematics. Mathematics in science have led to many discoveries in physics, chemistry, and schools. Mathematics in engineering helps in the designing of modern structures and schools. Mathematics in navigation helps sailors to guide their ships. t The algebraic equation is considered the second greatest invention in the world. Without it our modern way of living would not be possible. BASIC OBJECTIVES OF ENGLISH Why study English? I can get by without it! What good will it do me after I am out of school? How often has the teacher of English heard these questions from boys and girls in her classes ? How often has she tried to answer these questions for them and make them feel the need for the study of English? The aim of the English course is to help the students gain a mastery of language adequate to their varied business, professional, and social needs. It seeks to make them more efficient members of society by training them to express themselves clearly, forcefully, and correctly. Because the ability to make one's meaning clear is vitally important and because study and practice are the surest means of attaining that ability, the minimum of three years English is required in our high schools today, and colleges, universities, and business firms are recommending four years. And for the same reasons every student, who wishes to make the most of himself and his life, will strive for effectiveness in his speaking and writing, and will enter whole-heartedly into the work of the course. Not until the student recognizes this need for the study of English can English teaching be truly effective. Evelyn Caplinger BASIC OBJECTIVES OF SPEECH TRAINING Nineteen centuries ago Jesus was born of a simple peasant woman. He grew up and lived an obscure life for thirty years. He never entered collegeg he never had a familyg he never wrote a book. At the age of thirty, through the power of speech he set into motion a way of life that was so impressive and compelling that it assumed the proportions of a great religion. The Christian religion swept over half the globe and was nourished through preaching not writing. Jesus never wrote a single sentence. His way of life was made articulate by the words from his own lips. Speech is just as important in our modern world as it was in the days of Christ. Speech training helps the student meet the practical need of the modern day. The person who can speak well before a group is the person who forges ahead. Speech helps to discipline the mind, and no man can consider himself educated who has not gone far toward acquiring mental discipline. In acquiring mental discipline one is also acquiring character self-confidence, poise, initiative, and individuality. Speech training helps one to increase his service to society. The highest function of citizenship can never be realized as long as those who have wisdom remain silent and keep their ideas to themselves. It is only when these ideas are shared with others that they become an important force in creating a better world Evelyn Caplinger if Morr is Har old Jack 4 nil!! 'm . N ul E, l Don J. O.

Chlldred of life are we, as we stand With our lives uncarved before us, Waiting the hour when, at God's command, Our life-dream shall pass o'er us. If we carve it then on the yielding stone, With many a sharp incision, It's heavenly beauty shall be our own,-- Our lives, that angel-vision.
