®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.

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.

®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. Mae Murgatroyd, Katherine Garn. Twenty-two
