Mayflower 19 2 3 “The Mayflower” My ship lay off the harbor whence the Mayflower sailed, And, lying there I dreamed of days agone. I saw, Or seemed to see, the setting forth of that Majestic Bark Whose cargo counted not its wealth in gold, but Good. To me, The Mayflower seemed a symbol of a life But newly launched upon a sea before untried; And still, she dared to hold aloft the promise bright Of glad fruition of each sacred Hope. At end of path, thru stormy seas, the goal of her ambition lay — A Nation pledged to Freedom, Right and Brotherhood. And now, again I see, on verge of putting forth, A group, beneath that symbol which foretells so much ; A group of youth, whose way is vaguely known, as was The path of that proud ship when prow turned Westward. Edward Errett Boyer.

For two or three weeks times were still troublesome. But after the new class was initiated by the upper classmen, things became settled again. After four or five days, the class, num- bering si xty-four , held a meeting and elect- ed David Gibson as our first President, Raymond Ball our vice-president, Helen Rantz, our Secretary, and Gladys Izor our Treasurer. During our first year we enjoyed several social events; a Hallowe’en party and a picnic. It was during this year that our capable actors, Mr. Ball and Mr. Seymour, made their first public appearance as “Mutt” and “Jeff”. As Sophomores of 1920, we emerged from the Freshman class, survived in spirit, but not in numbers, for our class had de- creased to the number of f orty- fou r. We were now free from that feeling of inferior- ity, and were better prepared to meet the new responsibilities, that we have had to meet during our high school life. During our second year, David Gibson again took the bench as president, Leonard Clizbc was his assistant, as vice-president, Helen Rantz was elected Secretary, and Edith Boyer, our treasurer. We contributed several members to the orchestra, glee clubs, operetta, and debating teams. We were well represented in Dec- lamation, as our classmate, Athalind Kelli - son won first in the Northern Indiana Dec- lamation contest. On September 5, 1921, we entered the assembly as a Junior class of thirty-nine. We had played the game for two years, and it was with pleasant anticipation, that w e looked forward to the Junior year. David Gibson was again elected president, William Gammons, vice-president, while Helen Rantz and Edith Boyer took their places as Secretary and Treasurer. One evening during the month of No- vember, the class journeyed to the home of Mrs. Boyer, our class adviser, to attend a party, at which our class pins and rings were presented to us. On February 8 the class was royally entertained at the home of our classmate, May Schlosser. This was a jolly “Kid party.” Our ambition to accomplish something was represented by our Junior class play, “My Lord In Livery,” given at the Rialto Theatre, February 28. One of our num- ber, Athalind Kellison, was also honored by appearing as the “Star” of the high school operetta. The finis of our Junior year was the glorious banquet, that we gave to the Seniors of ’22. It was wit h eagerness and longing that we looked forward to the time, when we would again enter P. El. S. and be enrolled as Seniors. Very soon, our Senior year opened be- fore us. The honor of being our first “Miss President” was bestowed upon our classmate, Mary Harris, while Raymond Ball was elected vice-president, Katherine Garn, Secretary, and Harry Scott, Treas On October 28, the class enjoyed a Hallowe’en party at the home of Mae Murgatroyd. A picnic in the spring, and our “Chemistry” dinner marked the last of our social events. The class of ’23 was well represented in Debating during the last year, as six of our number took part in the debate, and one of our number, Katherine Moore, in the Dis- cussion league. We also have had many members in the choruses, and one member on the Boys’ Quartette. For three years the class of ’23 had been living a more or less idealistic life. We have formed ideals and dreamed dreams. We are now “waiting on the threshold” of a new experience. Our high school course has opened new fields of opportunities (which would hardly have come to our vision in any other way). We have also acquired a training, which will help us to meet these opportunities, now open to us. We must take advantage of these if we are to suc- cessfully proceed along the pathway of life. We, the Seniors of 1923 bid farewell to the high school halls of our Alma Mater, and hope that we may give the largest pos- sible service to the world and thus find in life an everlasting joy, and success. Eva Webster. Seventeen ullji ' 11123 Hayflmupr Last Will and Testament □□ E, the members of the Senior Class of Plymouth High School, City of Plymouth, County of Marshall, and State of Indiana, considering the uncertainty of this life, and being of sound mind and memory, do make, and publish this, our last will and testa- ment.

To Miss Jacoby we give our composi- tions, themes, poems, and essays, that we have written in our high school course, to be used as a model for her under classmen. To Mr. Hensel, we will some new jokes, so that he will not have to tell the same ones over so many times.

To Miss Poe, we will a book, entitled, “Dishes that Tickle the Palate.” To Mrs. Boyer we leave two dozen sets of teeth guaranteed to masticate Latin, to Eighteen be given to her Freshmen class next year. To Mr. Boyer, we leave the hope of complete laboratory equipment. To Mr. Sims we will some congratula- tory speeches to be used before the assembly next year.

Helen Taber leaves all her Home Economics books on cooking to Gladys Dietl for use in future years. Lastly, to the faculty, we leave the memory of the class of twenty-three. Blanche Peterson. Nineteen uJljr 1U2 I iMaijflmiu’r Ye Pilgrim Plymouth High School May 10, 1935 (Washington News.) St. John’s Cathedral in Wash- ington, D. C. has been com- pleted after a period of five year’s work. It is indeed the world’s greatest cathedral, surpassing all others in grandeur, and in beauty. The plans were originally di ' awn by Mr. Harry Scott, one of the world’s greatest archi- tects. Mr. Scott first became noted during the erection of the Alta bell tower in New York City, for which, plans that he submitted, were ac- cepted. Word has been received from Mr. and Mrs. Harold Koontz on their cotton plan- tation near Botteneau, North Dakota, among the Turtle mountains, that Mr. and Mrs. Charles Goodman, near Kan- chou, China, are coming home for a visit. These two couples, remaining as in- separable as they were in high school days, have been in constant communication with each other, by means of their radio, although they have been separated by sev- eral thousand miles. Mr. and Mrs. Goodman have been in China, in the rice business, but they have decided to take up their residence, once more in the United States. (Cleveland Press.) Miss Nettie Rhumphrey of Culver, Indiana, has taken first prize in the International type- writing contest, held here May 6. She excelled all con- testants in accuracy, and speed. Previous to this, she has received many medals, won in speed tests. She graduated from the high school of Plymouth, Indiana, in 1923. When Miss Rhum- phrey was interviewed she modestly said that she owes her success to a streak of luck, and not to any high school training. (Kansas Limited.) Miss Cecelia Sester, for several years a clerk in the ready made department of the Twenty Ladies’ Department Store, has been promoted to the position of head clerk. Miss Sester came from Plymouth, Indiana, five years ago, and has proven to be a most efficient clerk. The company employs sixty-eight clerks, and such a position as head clerk i ' s quite an honor. Death notice: Mr. Harry Hollinshead died suddenly, yesterday noon with a stroke of apoplexy. He has been afflicted with a sweet tooth for several years, and speci- alists think this was the culmination of that disease. Funeral services will be an- nounced later. For Taxi Service call 4592. Night or Day, anywhere. Everett Jamison. The noted fashion design- ers, Misses Helen South and Blanche Peterson, have come from Chicago to our city to establish a shop at 509 North State Street. Here they will exhibit the latest styles of women’s wearing apparel. They will also conduct a mil- linery trade in their outfit. They have had extensive training in this line of work, and since 1926, they have been designers for fashion magazines, throughout the entire country. The infirmary of Logans- port has obtained a new head clerk. Who should it be but Miss Eva Webster, State Di- rector of Home Economics for the past two years. The motive for her change in po- sition was that, in the insti- tution, her knowledge would be used more advantageous- ly. She has had a great deal of experience, and conse- quently, the inmates of the home will receive great bene- fit from her being there. Notice, at 7:30 tonight at the Lincoln H. S. auditorium — James Seymour speaks on “Men’s Rights”. As Mr. Seymour is widely versed in this subject, his address will be of great interest to all. Members of schools will be greatly interested in a hypo- dermic recently discovered by Dr. Edith Boyer of Two Forks, Indiana. This hypo- dermic, when injected into the arm on the night before finals, has such an effect up- on a body, that knowledge, unheard of before, will re- veal itself at the critical moments. This hypodermic, a chemical compound, is very hard to obtain, and is of a very high price. But it has been tried in a few cases, and has been found to be success- ful. The Model Chautauqua Company is scheduled to ap- pear here this summer in the middle of June. This com- pany is noted all over the United States, and we hope that it will live up to the ex- pectations of Plymouth. With its troupe are Miss Katherine Gam, famous pianist, and Miss Athalind Kellison, solo- ist and dramatic reader. They have been in the com- pany for two years, and it will be a pleasure to hear them. Buy your tickets early! Coming. Rialto — One week from to- morrow night — “The Tonic,” comic opera playing Albert Wetmore. Reserve tickets are on sale now at the Model Pharmacy. Mr. James Fox, of our city, has recently acquired the position as Professor of accounting in the commercial Department of Columbia Uni- versity. Having a talent for this line of work, he has ad- vanced so far, that this honor could be bestowed upon him. He studied commercial work in Indiana University, where he obtained his degree, and since then, he has been the head of the commercial de- partment of the Ridgeway High School in Indianapolis. ®ljr H123 UKauflmiu ' r (New York Limelight.) Mr. David Gibson, noted comedian, returned yesterday on the Star Liner from France, where he has been playing for movies. He was met at the harbor by a host of admirers and newspaper reporters with their cameras. They were however unable to snap him, for he had mys- teriously disappeared among his friends. He is the most popular comedian on the American Stage. He return- ed to enter the film “The Hit.” Miss May Schlosser, Physi- cal Training teacher in our public schools was seriously injured yesterday evening, when she fell from a bar. Her ankle was sprained so badly that she was taken im- mediately to the hospital. It is feared that she will have to remain there for three or four weeks. The accident oc- curred when she was doing some acrobatic stunts upon a tall bar in the gymnasium. She slipped, and fell, tearing some ligaments, and wrench- ing her ankle out of position. This was a most inconvenient time for this, as she has been preparing for a May Day fete to be given the last of this month, upon the High School lawn. Miss Mae Murgatroyd of the Novelette Department store entertained the follow- ing friends at a dinner party Saturday evening at her home: Miss Mary Harris of the County Treasurer’s of- fice; Miss Vera Livinghouse, Republican candidate to the Federal Congress as Repre- sentative of the thirteenth district; Mr. Raymond Ball, manager of the Ball Adver- tising Company of Chicago; Miss Kathryn Moore, one of the assistant editors of the “Pictorial Review” and Mr. Bernard Schuh, the head of the English Department in our High School. After the dinner, the group went to the “Princess Theatre,” where they saw “The Golden Bars.” Mr. William Gammons ar- rived in Plymouth today to visit his mother of South Michigan Street. He is one of New York’s busiest real estate agents. He is now in- terested in some deals in the Andes Mountains of South America. He has just re- turned from South America, and reports that the countries are prospering, and industry is booming. He also says that Plymouth never looked better to him, than it does now. Miss Sylvia Suter, Primary teacher of Jackson, Michigan, is home for a spring vaca- tion. As her term extends over ten months, her spring vacation happened to come in warm weather. She is tak- ing advan tage of the fact, and is planning on visiting many of her old friends and relatives. Notice: I have established a very fashionably equipped beauty shop at; 205 West Main Street. — Rae Mutchler. Miss Mutchler was for sever- al years connected with the School of expert hairdress- ing, and manicuring in Chi- cago, and is one of the best hair dressers in the country. She is also employing two women to help her. Miss Helen Taber, and Miss Opel Berkeypile have accepted positions as private clerks in the office of Mc- Cumby Son law firm. Miss Taber has been in McKes- son’s office for several years, and has had much experience in this line of work. Miss Berkeypile has been the stenographer in the County Recorder’s office, and she is also well fitted for the posi- tion. Mr. Anson Stout has be- come the proprietor of the Snow Peak Dancing Hall on Coney Island, a famous sum- mer resort. He is remodel- ing the hall, and when it is completed, he expects to have one of the most beautiful halls in the United States. He is hoping to become a millionaire with this business, for the resort is literally crowded to capacity every summer. Fine orchestras, and efficient chaperons will be provided, and it will sure- ly be the most popular re- creational hall in the country. Mr. Robert Ralston and Mrs. Ralston (formerly Miss Louise Webster) have gone to their new dairy farm in Wyoming. Their buildings have been remodeled; new, complete dairy equipment has been installed, and large well houses have been built. Their buildings are all mod- ernly equipped, and running water is abundant, all of which makes work more con- venient. They expect to have one of the be st dairy farms in the west. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Burns (formerly Miss Fern Berkey- pile) have bought a lot on West Lincoln Ave., and are building a modern bungalow on it. They expect to oc- cupy it as soon as it is finish- ed. The bungalow will be a seven room house, with a fireplace, reception hall, and other features that make a house beautiful. A garage is also being built in the rear. The yards are going to be cleaned and decorated with flowers and shrubs. This will add greatly to the ap- pearance of the street. iss Bertha Thomas, Latin Instructor of our high school, has accepted a posi- tion as a private tutor for Delia Dewey of Chicago, this summer. She will accompany her pupil and Mr. and Mrs. Dewey, as they travel over Europe. They expect to visit England, France, and Italy. Miss Thomas will again teach Latin in our city schools next year. Twenty- one ®lfr 1 3 2. 3 iMaiiflmurr Senior Class Song (Tune — Solomon Levi) □□ I. We’re members of the Senior class that’s always done the best, We’re very sorry, I am sure, to part from all the rest. Our High School days are ended now and life’s new tasks begun, We’re starting on our journey long, toward the setting sun. II. Our teachers dear we hate to leave, we’ll miss them every- one, The Freshies we will always know their work has just begun, Sophomores their brilliant class will always win much fame, The Juniors with their talent great will also do the same. III. Our teachers we are leaving now — Annis and Stallings in History, Boyer, Renwick, Wilson, Hensel, in English Miss Jacoby, The Sims who trained our athletes, our housekeepers Palin and Poe, Miss Boss who leads the singing and Boyer and Cressner, too. IV. And now we bid farewell to you our dear old P. H. S. And may you n’er forget our class that’s always done the best, Anrd when our voices have died away, to cease forever more, May all the memories that you hold recall the days of yore. CHORUS Oh! Plymouth High School, we are proud of you, Oh! Plymouth High School, to leave you makes us blue, Your colors red and white we love and that for which they stand, And may we always think of you as being great and grand.

Did I say every one? Allow me to say almost everyone for, of course, there are a few of those perfect, sunny tempered people who wouldn’t know how to growl if they did have some cause for it. Tragic to state, the high school has a very limited number of these perpetually cheerful, visages. Two very good examples of our sunbeams are Pat Tomlinson and Dave Gibson. As I said before, most of us have only trivial things to growl about. As a class, I must admit that the Junior Class is most assuredly the growliest one I ever saw. Ever since our entrance into high school as green little freshies, troubles assailed us that just had to be growled about. To be- gin with, they wouldn’t allow us to elect our class officers until the second semester — they said we didn’t know enough ! Wouldn’t it make you growl to be told you didn’t know even enough to elect your class officers? Of course it would, and so we had our first growl. Our first year in P. H. S. ended with a few lesser things for us to growl about, but, as they weren’t so serious, I’ll pass on to our Sophomore year. We were by this time getting used to growling and as the habit was growing upon us, we didn’t feel quite natural in high school for a whole month because there was nothing but the weather to growl about. Then, one day, when we had a class meeting to decide about a Hallowe’en party, our beloved president told us gently that we could have only two parties a year. Then we felt really at home for we had something worth while to growl about. Wouldn’t any frisky, fun loving class growl if it couldn’t enjoy itself a little? We growled all the rest of the term and all summer about the fun we could have had at the parties we might otherwise have had. As full fledged growlers, we stalked intc the assembly last September. As the as- sembly was over-flowing with swarming freshmen, we growled because they were continually getting in the way of our digni- Twenty-six fied feet as would a gamboling puppy or playful kitten. Soon, however, something new loomed high in our horizons. It was this. There was to be no more dancing at parties, be- cause some had become rather affectionate at one of the last parties, said Rumor. A wave of indignation broke over the class followed quickly by consternation. What could we do to enjoy ourselves now? “Play ‘Drop the Handkerchief’ or, ‘Pussy wants a corner’,” said some. This time we wern’t the only ones who growled. The Senior Class caught the dis- ease next, with the Sophomore and Fresh- men classes closely behind. They growled almost as much as we. There was nothing except our own little personal growls for us to growl over the rest of the year, so we have made the most of the material in our possession. Some ot the class members have growled so insist- ently over their personal affairs that I feel I must set down the most important and loudest growlers. They a re as follows: Mary Freyman — “I growl because I’m so slender.” Carol Jacox — “I growl because my hair is so straight.” Peggy Grolich — “I growl because I can’t shoot fouls.” Hope Grossman — “I growl because there are not more junior girls on the first team.” Rae White — “I growl because Chuck is never with me uptown.” Glen Ritchey — “I growl because I can’t be president of the Junior Class.” Carl Zimmer — “I growl because the girls quarrel over me so.” Edgar O’Keefe — “I growl because Juanita sits so far away.” Myrle Marsh — “I growl because I never have any thing correct in Geometry. Helen Barker — “I growl because I never have any ‘A ’s’ on my report card.” P ' rances Armantrout — “1 growl because I can not sing.” Ruth Fries — “I growl because it’s my nature to growl.” I growl because I sit by a hot air register that is always cold.

N the fall of the good year 1921, the famous ship of the “Purple and White” was boldly launched upon the “Sea of Education” with the largest crew that has ever set sail. The first part of our aquatic pilgrimage was very new and interesting. In the vicinity of Algebra Island and about Cape English, the weather continued fair and warmer, but in the region ruled by King Latin the weather reports took upon themselves a “bluish hue.” During a few spare moments we would eagerly watch our men practice that well known game, Basket Ball. Three of our men were on the first team, Kizer, Glass, and Stout, and how proud we were of them! One of our members also had the honor of becoming a member of the Girls’ High School Quartette the first year she was on the cruise. We thought that fine of Carol, too. We contributed many mem- bers to the Glee Club, Chorus, Orchestra, and Operetta, and several of our boys tried out for track when we stopped at different ports. Oh yes, we had a famous crew and a loyal one, too. Our crew began to long for a really good time, so we stopped at the Isle of St. Valen- tine and had a Valentine Party. It was the first party the crew had had, but it was a real success. After leaving the Isle, new members climbed aboard and frankly demanded rec- ognition ; namely, Mae Weatherholt, Gladys Chaney. In the beautiful month of May, while cruising upon Pretty Lake the crew begged the captain, Kizer, to let the “Purple and White” drift ashore. He was very kind, and the crew was soon enjoying a “real-for- sure” picnic. A bountiful lunch was spread and the captain and crew did it justice. We again set sail, but soon the balmy summer days lulled the voyagers into quiet contentment on that tropical sea, called “Vacation.” Second Year of the Cruise After a long period of inaction on the “Sea of Vacation,” our ambitious crew once more returned to the greater “Sea of Education.” We saluted our former cap- tain, Kizer with enthusiasm and joy for he had proven himself an able captain on our first cruise. We also greeted a new mem- ber, Dorothy Bondurant, who has put con- siderable “pep” into our crew. During our cruise on the “Sea of Vaca- tion,” one of our most loyal members, Wayne Rankin, was taken from us. Wayne was an energetic and willing-to-work classmate. Our crew fully realized our loss when we began our second cruise. The sea became smooth and calm along the waters of English, and even an occa- sional squall on Caesar Ocean did not dis- turb our stalwart seamen. While cruising along the shore of Mich- igan, we stopped at Detroit and took Har- old Bockoven on board our ship. Then we sailed for the Pacific and met Billy Dublin at Pasedena, California. So thinking him a good fellow we took him aboard also. We had a number of honored people among our crew. Carol was again a mem- ber of the Girls’ Quartette, Pauline was on the High School Debating Team; Harold Bockoven and Stanley Brown were mem- bers of the Boys’ Quartette ; Kizer, Glass, Evans, and Stout were members of the first team in Basket Ball; and we also had a number of our crew, who were members of the Glee Club. As we were sailing, we decided that we would like to have a party, so on Hallow- e’en night we landed and our whole crew at once became goblins, witches, and gypsies. We had a merry time, but by the next morning we were calmly sailing in our good ship “Purple and White.” On March 8th our girls came out vic- torious in the Inter-Class Basket Ball Tourney. We were so very proud and happy that we entertained the entire High School. We are looking forward to landing on some beautiful isle for another party and after that the successful crew of the “Purple and White” will again enter upon the “Sea of Vacation.” Carol Linkenhelt Anna Madden Thirty ®l|i ' HI 2 3 ilauflmiu ' r Thirty-one ®ljr 1923 ilaiifhnurr Class Officers □a (K V President ----- Alfred Boys ' Vice-President - Hal Hoham Secretary _ Rebecca Cook Treasurer Miss Nellie Miss Mabel Class Advisers Wilson Poe qb Class Roll Helen Tanner Olen Albert Henry Grossman Ernest Mathia v Glen Ames Margarette Handy v Olive McGriff Albert Anderson V Russel Harley May McVey J Gerald Ball Roy Head V Bernice Morcombe Wendelin Ball David Heim Alice Musselman J Glen Baker ' Dulcia Hewitt Callie O’Dell Letha Baker Ruby Hisey Lillie O’Dell Edna Beatty Helen Hiss Kenneth Parks Homer Bixel Donald Hitchcock Bertha Perry Harold Bixel Hal Hoham Leona Price Alfred Boys Bernice Holland Lucile Rantz v Juanita Clizbe Carl Howards Ralph Ridgeway Rebecca Cook Mary Johnson Harold Richardson Victoria Crumm Lemar Jones Edna Rorer Bessie Dague Robert Kelley Dean Schrom •1 Jewell Shaffstall Minnie Franklin George Kennedy Pauline Falconbury Blanche Kindig Earl Smith Vincent Fisher Clarabelle Lackey Welcome Snyder Otis Fletcher Annabelle Lackey Ruth Steele John Fogarty Charles Leonard ■1 Helen Tanner Tom Fries Mary Lidgard .

Thirty-five ®l)f 1U23 DHaijfhnurr Unsusceptible Johnny □□ OHNNY Martin was, and al- ways would be, one of the most mischievous boys ever born. He was always getting into trouble, and his latest prank was burning the rope of the school house bell so that when the janitor went to ring it he wouldn’t be able to do so. Now the bell was ‘way up in the top of the old fashioned belfry and no one was overly fond of climbing up to fix the new rope on — and what was more, they had to send to a nearby city for a rope, for Oakley was a small town and, not expecting any- thing like that to happen, they did not have a good heavy, long rope to tie to the bell. No one being very anxious for the job of climbing to the top of the building, more than once, it was decided to wait until the next day when a new rope could be gotten from Chestertown. Everyone waited the next afternoon in front of the school house to see Johnny, for he had agreed to try fixing the bell, climb to his lofty perch and do the wonderful stunt. It was really quite a big event in Oakley, for the last time a rope had been fixed on the bell was about twenty years before. Then Jed Perkins had fallen, and broken his leg. The people waited, and waited and Chuck Williams, who had gone to Chestertown to get the rope did not come. Finally, some one discovered that he had had an accident with his new Ford and wouldn’t get home until too late to fix the bell that night. The people went to their homes and Johnny returned home grumbling, for he would have to get up at five-thirty the next morning and fix the rope. My! how he hated to think of get- ting up before seven. At about eight o’clock that night the wind began to blow and it gradually in- creased until Oakley was in thei midst of a strong wind storm. The townspeople went to bed early and prepared to get up and see the wonderful feat which was to take p lace in the morning. At about eleven o’clock the people were awakened by cries of “Fire! fire!” Johnny tumbled into his clothes and rushed out on Main Street. He was amazed to see the town lighted up as if it were broad day light. People were running to and fro in great excitement, the chickens were running around as if they thought it were morning, dogs were barking and the whole town was astir. The town elevator was on fire ! The strong wind had whipped the fire into one great flame and it looked as if the whole town might burn down. The people start- ed carrying water but there were so few people they seemed to make very little head- way. All they could do was to save the other buildings. Everyone worked hard but they became tired — if only they could attract the attention of the farmers so that they would come and help. Then someone had an inspiration. Why not ring the school house bell ? But alas ! there was no rope on the bell, and who would dare to climb up in the belfry in the shadows of the night ? Who ? That was the question. Why of course! Johnny volunteered. Not heeding the protests of the people he start- ed his perilous climb. He fastened the rope onto the bell and much to the sur- prise of the pessimists in the crowd, he came safely to the ground. The bell was rung, and in a short time, farmers were coming to the rescue of Oak- ley. Of course, the town was saved — that is most of it, but Johnny, unlike most boys, did not profit by the near disaster and to this day in his old age, he is always play- ing some pranks and he may burn up the town of his birth yet, if the fire company does not protect it. Mary C. Harris. Thirty-six 1323 lHatjflmurr DEPAPTMENTS Thirty- seven tilljr 1923 jOUgflnuirr English Department Mabel Jacoby, Ph. B. University of Chicago The school requires four years of Eng- lish, the course consisting of Rhetoric, Oral and Written Compositions, History of English and American Literature, a study of standard literature, and reports on out- side reading. There is also a year of Public Speaking offered. The school is a member of the Northern Indiana Debating League, the Discussion League, and the League for Declamation, and Oratory, and in all contests has been represented. English pupils have assisted in presenting two programs before the auditorium, one at Thanksgiving and one in celebration of Lincoln’s birth. The English department is in charge of three teachers. □□ Social Science Nellie Wilson, A. B. DePauw University The aim of the Social Science depart- ment is to correlate the past with the pres- ent. In accordance with this aim some new features have been introduced in the curric- ulum this year. By the permission of the State Department of Education, American History and Civics were each made two semester subjects. The Literary Digest was used as regular work in connection with American History and Civics, while the basic work in Civics was upon the pro- ject method. Thus the students gained practical knowledge in the rudiments of Government. These courses were open to Juniors and Seniors only. Another feature of this department was the introduction of a one semester c ourse in Elementary Economics elective to all ex- cept Freshmen. The usual courses in “Early European History” and “History of Western Europe” were offered ; the latter course as a continuation of the former. Thirty-eight U12-i Ifhttjflmiu ' r Mathematics Elizabeth Renwick, A. B. University of Indiana About three-fourths of our students arc enrolled in the mathematics department. Three years or six semesters of work are offered. The minimum is two years but at least one half of those enrolled complete the maximum. The purpose in Algebra is to lead the pupils to govern their actions in the solu- tion of problems by principles rather than by rules. In Geometry the pupils come in contact with absolute truth. He is a failure in mathematics who does not de- velop the power of logical thinking and accurate expression. BB Science E. E. Boyer, M. A. University of Chicago An important advance in Science work has been made during the year by the in- troduction of fixed Laboratory periods in the General Science Section. This hasi given opportunity for each student to ar-] rive at first hand information by fifty well) planned Laboratory experiments. During the year fifty-three students have enrolled in this course. A second advance was made in the in- troduction of a course in Botany, in which systematic study of the great orders of plants has been followed by the identifica- tion and classification of about fifty speci- mens. The enrollment in this class is twenty-five. In the judgment of the Department Physics holds the most important place in the Science curriculum. This is true, not only because we are better equipped with physical apparatus, but because a modern course in Physics embraces the fundamental facts of both Physics and Chemistry, and no course is better adapted to enable the student to do constructive thinking than that which relates to the laws, which govern the physical world. Sixteen students have done careful laboratory work during the year. Although handicapped as we have been by inadequate equipment and insuffi- cient room, the Department feels that the results from the year’s work have been fairly satisfactory, and the increasing in- terest in continuing in various fields of science work indicates that with the com- pletion of the new building, additional sub- jects must be added to the curriculum. Thirty-nine ulljc 142.1 JWagfUuufr French Margaret Cressner, A. B. Oberlin College The French Department offers two years of French for those who desire to elect it. During the two years of study an attempt is made to acquaint the student with French life, customs and culture by means of the reading and translation. By reading stories and anecdotes of the best French authors, the pupils are brought to a real- ization of what constitutes good literature. Conversation on the translation and fre- quent resumes make the French language living and real to the students. The close study of French grammar brings the student into closer relationship with English grammar. Gradually he comes to a better understanding of his own grammar, and many of his difficulties are cleared up. □ □ Latin Elizabeth Boyer, A. B. University of Indiana Though Latin is elective, more than half of the students in the High School are en- rolled in Latin Classes. It is true that a large per cent of students who study Latin expect to go to college, but if the subject is presented properly all students derive much benefit. The purpose of the study of Latin is threefold : to enrich the student’s understanding of English, to give a knowledge of Roman life, and to enable the student to read Latin literature ap- preciatively. In order to realize these ends four years of Latin are offered. The first year is giv- en to the study of word forms, syntax, vocabulary, and the reading of simple prose. The remainder of the time is spent in the study of prose composition, Caesar’s Gallic Wars, Cicero’s Orations and Vergil’s Aeneid. Throughout the course the rela- tion of Latin to the English language and literature is stressed. Forty H lir 1U23 JEagflotupr Home Economics Ozark Palin, B. S. Purdue University Mabel Poe, B. S. Purdue University The aim of the Vocational Home Econ- omics Department is to give to the girls a more intelligent appreciation for the im- portant and fundamental occupation of home making and to prepare them, so far as possible, for efficient and economic work in the home. It is not the aim to present in a systematic way a body of knowledge about cooking, sewing and other subjects, but to bring scientific principles and the best practices to bear on the problems ac- tually encountered in the average home, to the end that these problems may be solved in a more efficient and economical way. With this end in view the following problems or lines of work are envolved in the complete four year course. Problems pertaining to the selection, pro- duction, preparation and serving of well balanced meals, involving a study of such subjects; problems pertaining to selection, cleaning, repairing and making of clothing, problems of sanitation, personal and home hygiene, first aid to the injured; problems of managing the home, including a study of efficiency methods as applied to home work; best devices for cleaning and sweep- ing; care of furniture, floors, bed-rooms, home nursing, etc. ; problems presented by the fact that all home makers must proper- ly furnish and beautify their homes. This involves the application of culture and art to the business of home making and in- cludes a study of home furnishing, home decoration, house planning and the like. In order that the girls may work out these problems and gain by practical ex- perience, a cottage has been provided for them by the school. The Vocational Home Economics course was first introduced into Plymouth High School in the year 1919-20 and for the three previous years was conducted by Dolly Schlosser, assisted by Beatrice Jamison. New courses have been added from year to year so that now the regular four year course is offered, and this year for the first time a class is graduated from the Vocational Home Economics Depart- ment. ®Ijr lUi ' i iMayflmin’r Occupational Art Esther Steinebach Winona College A course in basketry began the year’s work in the art class, in which the art of construction and weaving was learned by making small table mats, and was applied in making hanging baskets, fruit baskets, and large French baskets of natural reed. Several beautiful parchment shades were made, and interesting work was done In enameling, bread making, clay modeling, and leather tooling. The purpose of the! class was to teach the principles of good designing, pleasing color harmonies, and to solve various industrial art problems. □ □ Music Carrie Boss Valparaiso University Music has held an important place in the High School course this year. The Girls’ Quartette composed of Frances Armantrout, Martha Tanner, Carol Linkenhelt, and Doris VanVactor has been doing excellent work under the supervision of Miss Carrie Boss. They will compete for honors in the Marshall County Oratorical and Musical Contest. The P. H. S. has had the honor of hav- ing a splendid Boys’ Quartette this year. The members are James Seymour, Stanley Brown, Harold Bockoven and Hal Hoham. The High School has had excellent ma- terial for comprising a Girls’ Glee Club. The girls did good work in the various programs of the year. Some other musical talent has been add- ed to our music schedule this year, in the form of the Boys’ Glee Club. Although the High School Orchestra has not appeared as often as formerly, the music at the various exercises of the year was very much appreciated, and their work done in the past year has been very com- mendable. Much credit is due to our director Miss Carrie L. Boss for her patience and untir- ing efforts in our behalf. Forty- two ®lfi ' HI 2 3 ll-l a gf linin ' r Commercial Lawrence Hensel, Ac. B. Valparaiso University The commercial department of Plym- outh High School was organized in 1907. It has gone through various changes and additions, but it still is grounded on Book- keeping, Shorthand, and Typewriting, with the other subjects taking secondary places. Efficient work has been the watchword of the department, the aim being to provide such training as is fundamental to practical work after leaving high school. All Shorthand students must qualify in typing, the speed being a minimum of 30 words per minute for a quarter hour, and ordinary dictation in Shorthand is required to be 80 words per minute. Bookkeeping is conducted on the actual training in prac- tice offices for the second semester. □ □ Manual Training Palmer Sims, A. B. Wabash College The aim of Manual Training is to create, and develop individuality, efficiency and self-dependence. The course covers several phases of work. A study is made of woods, stains, varnishes, shellac, nails, screws, and tools. The students learn to repair furniture, to upholster, to remove! scratches, and to plan, construct, and finish a simple piece of work. Some additional woodworking machinery will be obtained in the future, so that the work may be con- tinued on a larger scale.

At the beginning of this year “Ye Pilgrim” staff conceived the idea of pur- chasing a printing press and type and pub- lishing a paper that would be a credit to the school. Their first move was a maga- zine campaign from which they cleared about $85. The paper has been published two times each month and the circulation has been even larger than last year. It was the plan of the staff to make the paper pay for itself without securing money from ad- vertisements. In addition to publishing the paper, the department has done most all the school printing throughout the year. By the continued effort of the staff, the depart- ment now owns equipment valued at $300. In addition to paying for this, the staff leaves in the treasury an amount of money equal to that of last year. The school owes “Ye Pilgrim” staff of 1922-23 all the credit for this step toward a bigger and bet- ter school. The results speak for them- selves.

Forty- seven X h r lUili iH aii fin turr Debating and Discussion League □□ HE Debating Teams competed with teams from South Bend, Mishawaka, and Goshen this year. The subjects for the De- bating League and the Discussion League were suggested by the labor situation. They have enabled those taking part to become conversant with industrial problems from the point of view of the three interested parties and to know the merits of the several proposed methods of solution. The discussions have made possible much valu- able experience in public speaking. The Affirmative Team was composed of Mary Harris, Kathryn Moore, Vera Livinghouse, and William Gammons, and the Negative Team of Mae Murgatroyd, James Seymour, Pauline Gibson and Robert Metsker. Our school and county well represented in the Discussion League by Kathryn Moore. © Foi-ty-eight GH|1 ' ilai|fhuiu ' r Forty-nine QJljr 1U23 Muyflnun’r Girls’ Quartette □□ Plymouth High School has a girls’ quartette this year that has brought much credit upon our school.

Miss Persons received a letter from Lucille telling her that Lucille and three college friends were coming to visit her. Miss Persons was very much delighted. She instantly began to make plans. She planned that Arthur and Lucille should become engaged by Wednesday and be married September first. Then she and Mrs. Watson could sail for Europe on the Saturday following the wed- ding. To Miss Persons it was a plan that could be carried out without difficulty. But Mrs. Watson was a little dubious and nervous about a plan that appeared to be so much like a train schedule. Upon her arrival Lucille dreaded her meeting with Arthur. It had been seven years since they had met. Like her aunt, Lucille also made plans. She had told her aunt that she would wear a blue dress and a red rose. As she did not know Arthur and he did not know her, she planned that her friends Jane, Mabel and Marie should also wear blue dresses and pose as Lucille Persons. This plan Lucille thought, would save her from meeting Arthur. After launching her plan, Lucille withdrew and put on a cap and apron to help Mary in the kitchen. Arthur also dreading to meet Lucille, planned that his friends Ted, Dick and Jack, should each pose as Arthur Watson. Each boy met a girl thinking that she was Lucille Persons and each girl thought she had met Arthur Watson In the meantime Arthur dressed as a vegetable boy, brought some vegetables to the Persons home. Lucille, dressed as a maid thought he was a vegetable boy, while he thought she was a new maid. In turn she was known by Ted, Dick, and Jack as the new maid. In this disguise, she was very much dismayed and quite jealous of the actions of her guests who in their good times, had apparently forgotten their hostess. Jack and Dick : found out that Mabel and Jane were neither Lucille Persons. They felt that a joke had been played on them, and they planned to turn the tables on Arthur. By means of suggestions and suppositions, the people present at a dance at the Persons home that night were led to believe that Arthur and Lucille were to elope at ten o’clock. They all anxiously awaited the hour of the elopement. Arthur had made the statement that the new maid was the prettiest and nicest girl at the Persons home. Consequently Arthur was much pleased to learn that the new maid was Lucille, and the new maid was happy to think of the nice vegetable boy as Arthur. Miss Persons reminded them that they were to be engage d by Wednesday. Then Arthur replied that there were sever- al hours yet before Wednesday.

S. for the ’ 22-23 season. No such team has been produced for a number of years. This honor goes to Coach Palmer Sims formerly of the Elk- hart High School. Sims called the first practice in October with about forty candidates to pick from. A fine bunch of players was the result of Sim’s splendid coaching. Veteran players as the two Scotts, Glass, Kizer and Stout comprised the team. Evans, Zimmer, Carr, Musselman and Boys followed close on the first five’s heels. Personnel Plarry Scott (Scottie) a player of fine guarding ability has been on the P. H. S. team two previous years. He is one of the best guards in this part of the state and occasionally he dropped in several fade- aways. Harold Scott (Scottie) plays a fine game as running guard, and is responsible for many of our scores. His long shots were quite frequent. He has one more year in P. H. S. and there is no doubt but that he will be a member of next year’s squad. Russell Glass (Squawker) one of the fastest men in Northern Indiana has made a splendid record in Basket Ball. We wish him the best of luck and hope he does not slack up until he is an All State man. He made the All County team during the last season as forward. Marshall Kizer (Kiz) the Star center of the P. H. S. Varsity five and another mem- ber of the All County team, is accountable for most of the points made by P. H. S. during the past year. No doubt he would be a member of the District or Regional team had we finished the District meet. Kizer has two more years to go and there- fore will have several more chances at the big teams. True Stout (Cy) another two year man on the P. H. S. team. In spite of the fact that Cy was not able to play until the second half, he has shown a fine record for the remainder of the season. He makes a fine forward and no doubt will prove his ability in the coming basket ball seasons. Charles Evans (Chuck) a forward has shown fine playing in the first year of his basket ball career. He was a member of the first five until Christmas. From then on he was sixth man. For the short time he has been playing, he has shown up fine. We hope he keeps this up.

B. in P. H. S. proved a great success, and we are all proud of our girls’ team. Out of eleven games they have won eight and lost only three; they have made 168 points while their opponents have made 103. This team is again the champion of Mar- shall County. Three P. H. S. girls took: places on the All-County team chosen at the tournament at Bremen, the 16th and 17th of February. These girls were Grolich, forward; Jacox, center; and Schlosser, guard. The girls presented to the High School a basket ball which they received as victors of the tournament. Much of th e success of the team is due to their coach Mrs. Palmer Sims. She kept the girls always on the job, and taught them many secrets of the game. The Personnel of the Team Jumping Center — Carol Jacox — Right there with the tip-off. Running Center — Genevieve Huff — Some speedy lady in B. B. Forward — Margaret Grolich — Peg knows how to put ’em in. Forward — Hope Grossman — She sends them in with a grin. Guard — May Schlosser — Oh ! That left hand guard! Guard — Mary Freyman — Ma! They can’t get around her. Guard or Center — Mabel Myers — It’s nice to be tall — in Basket Ball. □□ Girls’ Track and Field Activities This 5 7 ear as in the past two years, the Plymouth girls took first place in the Coun- ty Track Meet. The Plymouth girls made 18 points and West High came in a close second with 16 points.. There were four schools represented : Argos, Bourbon, West High, and Plymouth. Those who took individual honors for Plymouth were: Carol Jacox — 1st place in Hurdles and) fifty yard dash. Mary Freyman — 1st place in the Shot Put. Mabel Myers — 3rd in Basket Ball throw. Margaret Handy — 3rd in Base Ball throw. The relay team — Katherine Garn, Clarabelle Lackey, Margaret Myron and Carol Jacox — took third. The inter-class meet was won by the Junior girls. Fifty-nine $ljr 1323 iW a Until’ r Base Ball a NDER the competent coaching of Sims, P. H. S. has produced a County Championship Baseball Team. The County Tournament was arranged so each team played eight games. P. H. S. won seven out of the eight and won the tournament with a per- cent of 853. This team has made a better record than any preceding team for the past several seasons, with nine victories out of eleven games, one defeat and one tied game. The team consisted of Zimmer, Harry Scott, Harold Scott, John Baugher, Glass, Kizer, Stout, Schuh, Ames, Orr, Fries and Thomas.

The Inter-Class Meet, the first contest, was won by the Sophomores. The first dual meet with LaPorte fol- lowed a week later. LaPorte won by a close margin of 4 points. LaPorte always has a good team and therefore, this defeat was not a great disappointment. P. H. S. won the second dual meet with Warsaw by 6 points. It has not been the custom of P. H. S. to have dual meets. They are a very good test of ability and strength for a team, and it is hoped that this practice will be repeat- ed in the coming years. Although Culver won the County Track Meet, P. H. S. came second and won the mile and one-half mile relays. It is already evident that P. H. S. will send several representatives to the State Meet. The Athletes who have won letters in the three branches of athletics, namely, Baseball, Basket Ball, and Track and Field, are : Harry Scott, Harold Scott, Kizer, Glass, Evans, Stout and Zimmer. Letter men in Track and Field Activities besides this group are, Marsh, Hollinshead, Boys and Gammons. . □□ Schedule Date Place Opponent Victor April 13 Plymouth Inter-Class Sophomores April 21 Plymouth LaPorte LaPorte April 28 Plymouth Warsaw Plymouth May 5 Plymouth County Culver May 12 Plymouth Northern Indiana Sixty-one ®lfr 1023 lHai|flmurr Inter-City Basket Ball Tournement □□ The Annual interclass tournament held March 6, 7 and 8, was a very exciting one, The games were full of enthusiasm at all times, for no games were one-sided and all victories were earned by hard fighting. Juniors came first with 26 points; Seniors second with 33 points Sophomores third with 41 points; and Freshmen lastly with 15 points. The Juniors were represented by Marsh, Zimmer, O’Keefe, Hammaker, Raven, Shobe and Metsker. The Seniors by Gammons, Gibson, Schuh, Jamison, Goodman and Fox. The Sophomores by Hunter, Shearer, Brown, Holem, Campbell, Myers and Dausman. The Freshmen by Girten, Mathias, Ames, Logan, Thomas, Fletcher, Whaley and Ball. Inter-Class Track Meet □□ The Inter-Class track meet held April 13 at the Centennial park was one of the closest inter-class meets ever witnessed. All events were performed except pole- vault leaving the Juniors in the lead and Sophomores a close second. With no one entered for the Juniors the following Monday in the pole vault event the Sophomores won the meet by a two point margin. Despite climatic conditions good work was done in all events and a promising future was in store for P. H. S. in the following dual and tournament meets.

Ding-dong, the school bell’s ringing Now I know it’s surely spring For the students, walking, talking Lag behind, loath to go in. Hark, I hear a teacher calling “Move along there in that line”, Students at the fountain thirsting Joyous spring, it is your sign. Whispering in our broad assembly Restlessness on every hand Languid students try to study But spring fever’s caught our band. Stand aside, and watch our drama ’Tis the last act you now view H S, your halls we’re leaving But forever we’ll love you. M. S. ’23. Bobby’s School Life Bobby was a Freshman in 1921 And he started in High School full of fun But before the year was out, Bobby lost all vim, For he often served detentions which the teachers gave to him. Bobby was a Sophomore in the fall of ’22. He started back to school, feeling rather blue, For sadly he remembered, the days of ’21. So he started back without a thought of fun. Bobby will be a Junior in September ’23. Now he is as happy as a boy like he could be, Bobby then will settle down, the teachers truly hope And begin in earnest with his lessons then to cope. F. F. ’25. Who? Her eyes are black, But eyebrows she lacks, Her mouth is so small, You can’t see it at all, She has no hair She is not fair She dresses in blue And is hated by all — not a few. Who is she? We soon shall see, She isn’t a flea, But she is— THE FLY. R. W. ’24. Sixty-four 1U23 itt a t|f linin ' r Thought of a Freshman Girl I’ve got a little hobby, At least I call it so; I’m crazy ’bout the Seniors In the three east rows. The girls are sweet and pretty, I see them now and then; But my eyes are mostly focused On the Senior men. There’s Bernard, oft called “Dimples”; He’s a dandy with his parts; His eyes and smiles and curls Have won the girlies’ hearts. And Raymond tall and frowning, I like to see him too, He’s stern, and yet so gentle, He knows just how to woo. Harry Hollinshead also Is a hero sublime ; Whenever help is needed He’s right there every time. “No one loves the fat man,” You’ll hear some people say; But we all love “Scottie” . He’s funnier every day. I also like Gammons, He has such lovely eyes; The girl that gets that fellow Will surely get a prize. But I loose my heart completely Before my tale is done; To tell you of the Senior boys, James Seymour is the one. I may be a crazy “ike” But he does look good to me ; If I’ve a special favorite I really guess it’s he. L. B. S. Seniors Oh, tis great to be a Freshman Better still to be a Soph, But the Juniors have the two beat And the Seniors always will. Oh, the Seniors are the good folks, They’re the ones who know the value Of a little bit of work Which is the reason, they’re looked up to. What would Plymouth High School do Without the Seniors? Things would be all mixed and mixed, But we’re the folks that make the end of such a fix. Then let’s all respect the Seniors Give them what is due Because some day you’ll be Seniors And you’ll like it too. S. M. S. ’23. P. H. S. Zoo Zoos are scarey things, ’tis true ; I’m sure you’ve all observed some, But the story I’m going to tell you, Is of a very, very safe one. Now the cage is rather ol d and worn, And the walls hold a greenish hue, But nevertheless ’tis strong enough, To hold our little zoo — The animals are up to date On knowledge they can’t be beat, And they have a little motto : That they ne’er will meet defeat.

For example, what have you read?” “By heck! Mr. Mayor, Oi have read hair, Right on the back of me neck!” D. D. ’25. Farm Reveries The sun has set ; its golden rays Have vanished from my sight, And Evening dusk comes o’er the hills And with it comes the night. Our Tony dog is fast asleep The cows and calves have gone to bed The little chicks have ceased to peep, The cats, oh lands ! they aren’t yet fed. ’Tis a pity to forget them For they love their evening meal If they’re as hungry as I am often, Then I know just how they feel. But I guess I’m abscntminded, Even more so than I thought, To be a bit more careful I really think I ought. I wonder what that noise can be Down in our big, red barn, Could it be Jim, or Jack stamping? But they couldn’t do any harm. Perhaps it w r as in our pig pen Perhaps I heard Aphrodite w 7 heeze, But no, it’s the gate on its hinges Swinging in the western breeze. The farm has all been put to bed I’m alone in my candle light And now, before I forget it, I bid to you “Good Night.” Anonymous. Spring Time Our friend, Spring is here, To greet us with unnumbered cheers, The sparkling brook in the sun shines clear, Your birds, your grass, are the beauties of the year. Welcome sweet spring time ! Joy is in every nook. The trout is playing in the shining brook. The spring flowers are peeping every where you look, In among the cow slips sits a fairy wnth her book, Oh! Spring time is here in every nook. E.
