Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1926 volume:

-------------- F ©reword C 7E the Class of 1926, taking advantage of the privilege and custom that is ours, present to you this Mayflower. We have endeavored to portray all the interests of our school so that in years to come this hook may be a source of joy and of beautiful memories of one of your four years in high school. __________________________ I Declncatioai TO FLOYD M. ANNIS, whom we love and esteem as a friend and teacher, we dedicate this MAYFLOWER in aj)f)reciation of his careful guidance of our four years in Plymouth High School. 5 c Class Song Wc arc waiting on the threshold (lirded, ready tor the strife; Waiting till wc shall Ik marshalled In the battle-ranks of life; Waiting for the bugle's ringing I hro’ the tumult to he heard. For the order Forward bringing Work and conflict in a word. Vet wc ask one thought ot sadness, Though bright hopes illume our way; Though your hearts arc filled with gladness, Comrades, we must part today. Yes, wc part; and while before us Fie the welcome future years, Yet your voices thrill the chorus Like the sound of falling tears; I ho’ you walk no more beside us, One there is who ever will; Though our teachers cease to guide us. His dear hand is o’er us still, Still to you our hearts arc clinging. And like the distant chiming bells, 1 hrough the chorus you are singing Hear our sorrowful farewell. When wc reach our home in glory. When our warfare all is done— When we look back o’er the story Of the victories we have won;— When the links that here must sever. Of this frail and changing love, Shall united be forever In the heavenly rest above. 1 hen with raptured voices ringing Sweeter far than earth has known Shall we join the chorus singing Praise before the great white throne. 7 8 Administration CHARLES E.

Our High School days we’ve enjoyed together. With all the joys that friends can treasure This crew of ours with noble teachers sailed With purple and gold, our colors hailed. And now we’re leaving dear P. H. S. Each one choosing the path which seems best; In years to come when we’ve gained renown We’ll be proud to say we’re from Plymouth town. Our thoughts will wander to Monday’s rejoicings, For victories won, our loyal yells voicing. Ami Tuesday our hank day in mem’ry we’ll hold When each of us vied to measure our gold. Our Wednesday in chapel we can not forget Or our Thursday each week with its prim etiquette, And also to Friday our thoughts will return With its pep and its “send-offs” more victories to earn. Parting—yes, Seniors, our ties now we sever Friendships true we will cherish forever May our lives of service to all be so blest That others may know “26” did its best. May our daily prayer thruout all our lives Strengthen our influence and make us rise To be of worth to those we pass And God to honor us at last. And now a sadness fills our hearts 12 —Rebecca Cook.

In reality it has been four years since we entered the good old Washington Build- ing fee I in’ kind� ’ little and out of place. Remember the good old times we hail in that assembly; how the teachers stood in front at morning and noon to see that we behaved. And oh, those double seats! Sometimes you would have a Sophomore for your seatmate and you would feel so big and important. Then one day the Bixel boys entered. We wondered what school they were from; which boy was which; who was the older; how tall they were; and numerous other things. Don’t you think our class is endowed with talent? I nderclassmen, you must acknowledge that such is the fact after we have stated our activities. Our musical ability is so well shown by the great numbers of the Senior class in the Band and Glee Clubs. About half of the orchestra are members of the Senior Class. What will they ever do without us next year? We have also been repre- sented on the boys’ quartette of ’23 and ’24. the girls’ quartette of '25 and ’26, and on the Ye Pilgrim Staff each year. The class ot ’26 has won many honors through its literary skill. Ina won first place in the oratorical contest during our Sophomore year; Victoria represented the school in oratory in 25; Bertha represent- ed the school in debate in '25. The Lincoln Essay Contest was won by members of our class. Vcrda took second place in ’26 and Victoria second place in ’25 and first in ’26. Then there were the essays from the Home Economics Department sent to Purdue University. Rebecca won first and Helen second. There were a goodly number of the class sent to the Purdue Round-up each year and one of our mem- bers was honored by being sent to the State Fair School at Indianapolis. 0 In the High School plays, “Clarence” and “Second Childhood”, our rare quali- ties as actors were displayed. Let’s not forget the parties we had; most enjoyable times of all. Always we had a picnic at the close of school when Pretty Lake seemed to call. The Hal- lowe’en festivals, too, we always enjoyed. Though the last two years a masquerade took its place at a later date so the foot- ball boys could join in the celebration. Ho-bos, dancers, little girls of all nations, and men and women of Washington’s day made merry those nights. We dare not forget the Junior-Senior Banquet we gave. Not only our class, but many of the other classes have said that it was the loviest banquet ever given. The decorations had much to do with its success. Surely the Alumni thought this so, for did they not buy the decorations as they were? This is the third year for the Athletic Association. Each year found a member of our class an officer—Hal as President for this year and Ina and Bob as yell leaders for the past two years. Our officers for the four years were as follows: President, Alfred '2.?; Hal '24. ’2s, 26; Vice-President, Hal '23; Harold M., ’24; Ina '25, ‘26; Secretary, Rebecca '23, ’24, ’25, ’26; Treasurer, Helen ’23. '24; Harold B. '2S, 26. Last, but not least, we have the basket ball years. For our Junior year we won both girls’ and boys’ Inter-Class Tourna- ments. This last season of Basket Ball cannot be praised too highly. YVe know you are all proud, but we are especially so when four of the “Fighting Five” are Seniors. Class of ’26, will we ever forget these years? No, we cannot, for they are woven into our lives for all time. We hope we have set a fair example for you, underclassmen, and that your coming years will bring you as much happiness as those years we are now leaving. —11 tlni Tanner. 25 19 £( Senior Estate b □ E. the Seniors of Lincoln High School, City of Plymouth, County of Marshall, State of Indiana, being of sound mind, do hereby publish and declare tin’s to be our last will and testament.

Our term expires May 28. 1926. Class Prophecy □ 0 IRS']'. I will introduce myself; I am a penny, and on my face is the date of 1945 and since this is the year 1950 you see 1 have been in circula- tion five years. During that time 1 have gone thru many hands and made many pilgrimages, of some of these 1 will tell you. In 1945 when I first came out of a 1. S. Mint, bright and shiny, the first person I saw was Donald Hitchcock. On listening I soon learned that Donald was chief boss over the Mint and was direct- ing the whole affair. After much handl- ing I was stacked up with many others ami taken to a large office. While here I saw many famous men and women. On one occasion the president and his private secretary. La Mar Jones, came to the office; on another three of the cabinet members: Sec’y of War, David Heim; Sec’y of Navy, True Stout; and Post- master General, Wendelin Ball. But very soon I was sent to a bank in Chicago. The President of the Bank, Lowell Lee. first unwrapped me but before I was handed out as change Cecile Beagles, Beulah Irwin and Leona Price, clerks, and a great many other hands handled me a great many times. One day I heard some one whisper here comes Gerald Ball the great radio king. They say he’s made millions of dollars with his radio factory and is now one of the wealthiest men in Chicago, and look, the one on his right is Harold Martin, the noted brain specialist, and the other is Welcome Snyder, the greatest criminal lawyer Chicago has ever known. Before five minutes had elapsed I was handed to Mr. Ball as change and soon was going around over Chicago safe in the depths of his pocket. Mr. Ball stop- ped in at a famous studio to see some old friends and, behold, who was there but “The Lackey Twins.’’ Stars; Hal Hoham, director of the famous Broadway “Ragg- bones” orchestra and Robert Brown, Chi- cago’s most noted ladies’ dancing master. The next day I was handed to a clerk at the famous Arlington Hotel. I lay still awhile in the cash drawer but after a while began to stir and peep out of the key-hole. I hadn’t noticed until then that the clerk was Olen Albert. Late in the day I was handed to a wealthy stock and poultry dealer Glenr Baker and was soon on my road to New York. Before reaching New York Mr. Baker stopped at a pretty little tea-shop which had a sign like this above the door, Welcome Inn. Callie and Lillie O’Dell. Proprietors. I was handed over in payment for a lunch, and for many weeks took a re t One afternoon a party of tourists strolled into the tea-room and sat down. Callie came behind the counter and cried, “Say. that woman with the light knickers on is Mrs. Leonard Clizbe, and the other is Mrs. Edgar O’Keefe. Jewel and Juanita made a success alright didn’t they?” It was then that I rolled over and be- gan to listen to the conversation of the tourists. 1 gathered from their talk that they were going to New York to see some old friends appear in public. That evening the famous Prima Donna, Bernice Mor- combe was to appear in a Broadway theatre owned and operated by Clifford 28 Logan. Also during the week Rebecca Cook, expressionalist and musician was to appear. And then who should walk in hut a group of nurses, namely Mamie Rohrer, Alice Mussel man and Mae MeV ey, off for a day’s rest. They all began to talk of the class of 1926 and P. H. S. so I learned that Helen Tanner was an instructor at the North Western College; that Alfred Boys was the owner of the largest newspaper in the U. S.; that Victoria Crum is a dean in an Ohio college; that Ruby Hiscy is running a chain of Beauty parlors in Columbus City; that Margaret Hurford and her husband were making a fortune on a large dairy farm in Illinois and that lna Johnson was operating a large ranch in Wyoming and had every good looking cow-hoy in the west at her service; and that Mrs. Varrell Girtcn, formerly Ruth Steele, is back from her trip to Europe. Well, I didn’t leave that day—hut the next Omer Bixcl and his famous “World’s Champion Basket Ball Team stopped in, and I was handed to him as change. Omer told his crew that he was going back to Plymouth to see his brother Harold, now- mayor. So after a few days' travel 1 landed in Plymouth. Oilier went into the Columbia Candy Kitchen now owned by Vincent Fisher, and left me there in payment for his soda. Many days later as I lay in the cash drawer 1 heard Vincent reading aloud an account in a oBaton newspaper how Miss Verda (iarl of that city, formerly of Plymouth, had been elected National Sec- retary of the Y. W. C. A.; also about Mr. Albert Anderson, famous boxer, de- feating Jack Dempsey in a boxing fete; and of Bertha Perry’s latest novel just off the press. That same day I heard Miss Edna Beatty tell that she was teaching a class in Etiquette and fancy dancing at the High School. The next week 1 was handed to a little boy and was soon again on the street. The boy stopped on the street corner where a young Salvation Army man was preaching and singing. The boy dropped me in the hat as it was passed and instantly I recog- nized the young man Ernest Mathia. For weeks I passed about from hand to hand until one day I found myself in Henrx Grossman's hands. Henry was a salesman for Ford cars and that very das was driving through South Bend in one of them at about 20 miles per hour when he smashed into a hearse. Both drivers crawled out and there stood Art liomas. Art said he was a South Bend undertaker now ami that he liked the work only that it was a dead job. While they were standing in the middle of the street talking, George Kennedy, in a cop's suit, walked up and invited them to go on. Some how that same week I found my- self in Pauline Falconbury's purse. Pauline was now a politician. Forthwith she took me to Mary Lidgard’s dress shop and bought a new dress. I do not know what happened for months. But one day 1 found myself back in Chicago. This time 1 went to a very wealthy home. Frances Kneppcr was in this home serving as private teacher to the children. Very soon I became aware that there was a very hen-pecked husband some where in the house. I had no idea who he was until one day as I was about to be carried out of the house 1 caught a glimpse of a familiar figure and recog- nized Eldon Babcock. Eldon sat musing aloud and from his soliloquy I learned that Eldon had been married five times and this trial has proved no better than the others. That he was absolutely broken hearted and the only joy he got out of life was serving in his capacity as janitor in a great business building where he met and flirted with all the pretty clerks and stenographers. Incidentally I learned that his favorite stenographer was employed by M iss Florence Tomlinson, the president of the Chicago Telephone Company. Well after passing through all this ex- perience you see 1 am now an old batter- ed and worn off coin. I have been sent back to Washington to be put in a hot- hot fire and melted to nothing. But be- fore I go to meet my doom I’ll say good- bye to one and all. Ii eagles. Helen Hon tty. Elizabeth Clipper. Edna Co , Fern Graves, Opnl Haddock. Wanda Hewitt.

S. and made it known J hv appearing in the various school activities. Four men were numbered among the first ten Red Jackets, still others appeared in football, baseball, and track. Two boys and two girls sang in the quartettes. Juniors also proved to be good orators and debators. T he Class of ’27 is great for entertaining. Recall those lively Wednesday morning stunts and the talent displayed in “The Limpet”. It was Juniors who were responsible for a lot of laughs in the high school play, “Second Childhood”. T hose who entered in nothing else went out for de- tentions and received their red letters as due reward. Yes, we were out for everything—this jolly good Class of ’27. 31 Sophomore Class Gibson.

W title ‘‘Sophoi Sophomores, because of our limited years and the drawbacks attending the Sophomore” cannot broadcast noteworthy things we have done. We can merely mention the few things that indicate latent powers which arc sure to be displayed in the future. We have shown promising ability in athletics, music and dramatics. Members of this class have taken an active part in football, track, and both girls’ ami boys’ basketball. Wc are sure the orchestra, band, and quartet could not function without some of us. The talent manifested in the class stunts indicate material for the Junior play next year. The coming year cannot help but be a SUCCESS. 33 19 f Freshman Class Alberts, Helen Austin, Ida Marta.

Of course we were green then, but the green of ignorance was soon changed to the green of brilliancy. This was largely due to the untiring efforts of our teachers, who have filled our minds with cross x’s, x, y’s and z’s, Hie, haec, hoc, dates, pyramids, home economics, bugs and crayfish in Biology, and how to do our daily dozen in Physical Training, how to say oui, oui, ma chere, etc. The members of our class have been quite active in sports and other activities in spite of the fact that we were Freshmen. 35 Loyalty Song 0 0 We’re loyal to you P.

As the school increases in enrollment, in activities and in achievement, so the Mayflower enlarges. As the executive staff is composed of Seniors a new staff is elected each year. However, two associate members are selected by the junior class so that the staff each year is not tota 11 y inexpe rienccd. It is indeed a fact that the “Mayflower” is the result of much time and labor put forth. The personnel of the staff is as follows: 38 Editor-in-chief Business Manager Harold Martin Alfred Bovs Literary Editor Art Editor ... Associate Art Editor Advertising Manager Assistant Advertising Mgr. Snap Shot Editor Girls Athletic Editor Hoys’ Athletic Editor Joke Editor - Associate Business Manager Associate Editor Florence Tomlin on Robert Broun Edna Beatty Bernice Morcombc Gerald Ball Eldon Babcock Annabelle Lackey Arthur Thomas Welcome Snyder Wm. Schlosscr Fern Cox 39 The Junior Officers Courtland Morris William Schlosscr Fern Cox - Theodore Fanning President Vice- President Secretary Treasurer The Sophomore Officers John Logan Pauline Turner Kenneth Martin Lucius Tanner - President V’ice-President Secretary Treasurer 40 The Freshman Officers Frederick Fruits - Robert Canan Marcele Holcm - Catherine Dunlap President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Athletic Association Officers 'This is Plymouth’s third year for an organized Ath- letic .Association. Officers elected were: President - - - Hal Hohani Vice-President - John Hcinibaugh Secretary - - - Ina Johnson Treasurer - - Clifford Logan Robert Brown, Ina Johnson and John Ix)gan were chosen Cheer Leaders by the student body. 41 THE YELL LEADERS Plymouth High School had a very successful athletic season. Much credit is due to the untiring efforts of its capable yell leaders. They are: Robert Brown Ina Johnson John IvOgan THE CAPTAINS The athletic events tin’s year were, without any doubt, successful partly because of the very efficient captains of the various teams. They arc as follows: Harold Bixcl - - Captain of Football Team Arthur Thomas - Captain of Basket Ball Team Pauline Turner - Captain of Girls’ Basket Ball Team Omer Bixcl - - Captain of Baseball Team Alfred Boys - - - Captain of Track Team ORATORY The interclass oratorical contest which was held April 9 was one of real rivalry. The contestants were: Victoria Crum, Beatrice Reeve, Virginia Miller. Jane (libson, and Katherine Rankin. Each one showed mark- ed ability and excellence. Katherine Rankin won first, and Virginia Miller second place. Katherine represented Lincoln High School in the County Oratorical Contest April 24 and won second place. Her oration was “Toussaint L’Ouverture,” by Wendell Phillips. The County Discussion Contest was won by Alice Musselman. The subject was “The County Unit Sys- tem.” Ina Johnson won second place in the County Consti- tutional Contest. Her excellent oration “The Consti- tution was original. Ina’s award carried with it a prize of fifteen dollars. 42 43 “The Hi-Y” ( • £ HE Hi- is becoming a great factor in the de- m vclopment of the spiritual as well as the social welfare of the high school boys. The fundamental purpose of the organization is to create, maintain and extend throughout the high school and community Clean Speech, Clean Athletics, Clean Living and Clean Scholar- ship. The club sent seven members to the State Older Boys’ Conference at Anderson. Among the other ac- tivities of the year were the “Father and Son Banquet in November, first semester initiation in December, Second semester initiation and the C. D. Allcman stere- optican lecture. The club was represented by Harold Martin at the Indiana State Hi-Y Council at Indianap- olis in December 1925. The club is composed of thirty-one members the officers being: Harold Martin, president; Arthur Thomas, vice-president; Lloyd Markley, secretary; Alfred Boys, treasurer. Much of the success of the Hi-Y is due to the efforts of Mr. Ronald Fischer, sponsor, and F. M. Wood, ad- visor. 44 “Ye Pilgrim” “Yc Pilgrim” has displayed much improvement. The general ap- pearance is far superior to that of any previous year. The printed matter has shown much improvement in journalism. Articles con- tributed by the staff and the high school at large have shown more originality and skill in handling material. The “Yc Pilgrim which has been printed even two weeks by the printing department, has been increased in size this year. The new press and other equipment together with the careful supervision given by Miss Cressncr and Mr. Ingram, have been responsible for the en- thusiastic interest in the printing classes. THE STAFF Editor-in-chief High School Editor Athletic Editor Senior Reporter Junior Reporter Sophomore Reporter Freshman Reporter Supervising Editor Instructor Fern Cox Bernice Morcombe Katherine Rankin Florence Tomlinson Winifred VanVactor Helen South worth Thyra Belle Harris Miss Cressner Mr. Ingram 45 Debating Again debating has been among the activities indulged in by the students of Lincoln high. There have been several participants but still debating has not yet come into its own and rightful place. As has been said before, ‘‘Those who enter debating do not reap the applause of the High School as do those who go out tor other activi- ties. They must he content perhaps with the personal benefit which comes to them from preparing their ma- terial and from doing the actual debating. Such ex- perience is a practical test of the individual’s ability to gather material and to convince others. This is an ability that must be used by people throughout life.” It will not be long, however, until debating will have a very definite place in the curriculum of the high school. Never before has the need been felt more keenly for effective oral expression. 4 6 Debating The question for debate this year is rerolvcd: In- diana should adopt the County Unit System of Rural School Administration. This question was also used for the Discussion Contest. Alice Mussel man won the county contest and thereby won the privilege of par- ticipating in the District Contest. The following people made the varsity Debating Teams: Affirmative—Alice Musselman, Robert Canan, Ina Johnson and Marietta Iceland as alternate. Negative—Winifred VanYactor, Dan Gibson, Joe Felice and Marjorie Lcland as alter- nate. 'There will be two debates with Goshen and Warsaw. With the faithful work and coaching that our teams have had, we arc looking for some favorable decisions. Miss Dema Kennedy, coach, deserves much praise for her teams and hard work. 17 Orchestra The orchestra of Plymouth High School has shown marked improvement this year. They arc playing very difficult selections and have had a variety of pieces for the many programs they have taken part in. The orchestra of ’26 is composed of twelve Seniors, and in all there arc twenty-eight. Much credit is due the in- structor, M iss (iauld. 48 The Band In recent years, with increased demand for public school music, there has come a demand for the band, especially in the secondary schools. The Plymouth High School hand has very efficiently met the requirements, this year being only the second year of experience. The band aroused much enthusiasm during the basket- ball as well as the football season at both pep meetings and games. The band accompanied the basketball team to Goshen and the regional tournament at South Pend. I he Conn Industrial Hand gave a concert at the Lincoln Auditorium, February 10, under the auspices of the P. H. S. Band. The proceeds of the enterprise went toward the uniform fund. Much of the success and credit of the band is due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Hubert Tanner, director. 49 KITTY One of the outstanding successes of the class of 26 was the pre- sentation of rlu- Senior play “Kitty April 28 in the Lincoln High School Auditorium. Kach member of the cast played his part exceedingly well and the humorous situations arising throughout the evening brought much laughter and applause from the audience. Indeed, much of the success of the pla was due to untiring efforts of the sponsors, Miss Wilson, Miss Knox and Miss Cressncr. THE CAST Win.

It was well attended both nights. The antics of the actors, especially the attempts of the professor to prove the worth of his “Elixcr of Youth.” kept the audience in an up- roar throughout the play, which was considered one of the best ever given by Plymouth High. Much credit for the success of the play is «lue to the coaches, Mrs. boor and Miss Weatherwax. CAST Professor Relyca - Mrs. Wcllsmiller, his sister Sylvia Relyea, his daughter - Philip Stanton, his assistant - Gen.

The quartet won the first honors at the Mar- shall County contest on April 24. Indeed, much honor and credit is due the quartet for its excellent work. The girls are: Virginia Miller Helen 'fanner fern McKesson Elizabeth Beatty first Soprano Second Soprano first Alto Second Alto 52 Tri-L Club The Tri L Club, composed of all the high school girls, was organized this year in Lincoln High School. The aim of the club is to bring the girls together in a social way and help them to become better acquainted. A cabinet, composed of two representatives and an advisor from each class, besides the officers, takes action on the various questions which come before the club. Mrs. boor is Dean of the organization and much credit is due her. as she has done much to make the club a success. The officers of the club are: President - - Helen Tanner Vice-President - Ruth Lawrence Secretary-T reasurer - Helen Southworth 53 “The Limpet “The Limpet was indeed a successful play. It was given by the Junior Class, and coached by Miss Palin and Miss Weatherwax. We were all surprised to learn that Ed Dunlap would make such a good Limpet. The cast is as follows: Edward Devson .... Alexis Ball Mrs. Devson, his wife - - Alice Weinzler Dick Devson, their son - Courtland Morris Percy Sheepwell, “The Limpet” - Ed Dunlap Daphne Sheepwell, his daughter - Virginia Miller William Fordyce, Mrs. Devson's Brother Perkins, Butler Spence, Footman 54 Stanley Nickel Lloyd Mark ley Clydelle Basclcr 55 � Miss Helen Schudel Much success of this year's athletics is due to our coach. Miss Helen Schudel. She is a graduate of I)e- Pauw I niversitv, where she played on the Varsity Team. This is her first year here, hut she has won the respect and appreciation of the High School and the community. 56 Coach Wood Coach Wood came to Plymouth two years ago at the opening of our new Lincoln High School. To Coach Wood, of the Franklin Wonder Five”, is largely due the co-operation of students, faculty, alumni and friends in building better Athletics for Plymouth High School. Rut more than being an organizer he is a lighting Coach who puts everything into the teams which have placed Plymouth high in state High School sports. A man w ho teaches and practices clean athletics and a square deal both in dealing with his own men and with his opponents he has won the respect of both students and athletes. 57 58 59 Football ( t OR tin second year of football 1925 was a successful season on the gridiron. With one victor)' and six hard fought defeats, w four of which were lost by the margin of one touchdown, and with a more experienced team back for next year the prospects of the 1926 football team are very bright. In the first game with Peru, Captain Pixel scored Plymouth’s only touchdown and the team showed a marked improvement over last year. Several long runs by Himebaugh behind excellent interference, a pass—Glass to Pixel—and the line stopping all of W arsaw plays, re- sulted in a 190 victory for Plymouth. Logamport with its tactful use of the “shoe string and Mishawaka, state champions, gave Plymouth our next two defeats, although Logan, our plunging fullback, and the punting of Capt. Pixel outclassed our opponents. In the Niles game with two of our regular halfbacks out. Plym- outh’s only touchdown came from a pass—Thomas to Logan. In the next game on a muddy field, the line was able to hold LaPortc to short gains and the game was marked by nothing spectacular. In a heartbreaking game Monticello won by a place kick in the first quarter. Plymouth made a touchdown and was in striking distance of the goal several times only to lore the ball by an offside on penalty. This was the last game for Capt. Pixel. (). Pixel. Baker, Thomas, Logan, Snyder, Poys and Hitchcock and these players wish the very- best of luck to next vear’s team. fiO Track l H. S. captured second place in each of the three track meets held. Having a meet with South Bend, May the Nth, the Sectional on the 15th, and State on the 22nd. we still have a chance to spring a surprise. We had two dual meets with La Porte and Rochester as well as the County meet. The County meet was very interesting, no one knowing who would win, Plymouth or Culver. Plymouth led by two thirds of a point with one event left. It is a sad story; Culver cap- tured first and second, leaving Plymouth to be satisfied with one point. Heimbaugh, Boys and Buckingham, have been the “Shining Stars” of the Plymouth team. Practically all of the track team is composed of underclassmen which leaves ample proof for an excellent team next year. The ones being lost by graduation are Cap’t Boys, Snyder, Logan and Bixcl. Cl Thomas H. Bixel C. Logan O. Bixel Clough Basketball ( I £ HE 1925-26 basketball season was the most successful year in the his- torv of P. H. S. Plymouth has won twenty out of twenty-two games this year, a record which few schools, if any, can equal. We have conquered such teams as Michigan City, Mishawaka, Froebel of Gary, Pa Porte, Valparaiso, South Mend and other teams. Our first defeat came from the hands of our ancient foe Ro- chester, and the second defeat came from Nappanee at the Regional Tournament at South Mend in an overtime game, the cause still remains unknown. 'This wonderful season is due to the splendid support and co-operation of the citizens of Plymouth, to a fighting second team, and to the best coach in Indiana, Forest Wood. And, although five men of the first ten graduate, prospects are very bright for an equally successful sea- son next year. MIXEL: Lefty was the leading scorer of the team with 301 points to his credit. With his left hook shot he cornered many points for P. H. S. This is Lefty’s third and last year on the team. BIXEL: Omer was the right hand of the front attack and his ability to get the tip off had a great deal to do with the winning of games for P. H. S. His fol- low up shots also often counted. CLOUGH: “Oozy” was the third member and center man for Plymouth’s six foot offense. This is his first year on the team and next year’s team will In- built around him. We believe lie is fully capable of the job set In-fore him. 02 19 THOMAS: Art was captain of the 1925 26 quintet. As a guard he was the smallest player hut made up for it in speed and blocked many opposing shots which might have resulted in points. LOGAN: Cliff is known as the shoot- ing guard. In any game he is usually good tor a couple of baskets long or short ones and in this way he has pulled several games out of the fire. Without a doubt he is one of the greatest guards P. 11. S. has ever had. BOVS: A1 has been a valuable re- serve man and was used in almost every position which he played with equal abili- ty and P. H. S. is losing a valuable man this year. GLASS: Squaker has completed his first year of basketball. Though small he was often put into a game to give it more fighting spirit. He will be back next year and we know he will give teams a scare next year. BRYAN: Bud is a junior and is a great scrapper. He is always there in a pinch and will be fully able to fill a guard position next year. HEIMBAIGH: Johnny has another year with P. H. S. and though he is not very tall he is fast upon his feet and he should be a terror to opposing teams next season. • FRUITS: Fritz is a promising young player and although only a freshman he has been seen in action in several games and every one predicts he is to be a com- ing star. G3 • Second Team Such a successful season of basket ball is due greatly to our second team. The old saying is a strong second team makes a stronger first team. Such was the case in I H. S. this year. Most of the second team is composed of under-classmen which leaves valuable reserve power for next year’s team, leaving such players as Underwood, Mogle, Skinner, McLaughlin, Buckingham, Logan and the Hamptons to build up tiext year’s team with. 'Lhe second team has gone through a highly successful season this year winning 9. out of 14 games which ordinarily would be a good record for the first team. 64 Chaney Johnson Turner Beatty C.

Then were chosen to represent Plymouth: Chany, Shcllcr VanVactor, Johnson, R. Hisey, fx)hm, Maker, Rannells, Webster and Rankin. Although the County meet was postponed because of bad weather, it was held through pouring rain April 27. Running Mroad and High Jump were added this year. The relay was called off because of mud. Plymouth and Culver changed places about every event in which Chancy, in the dash, baseball throw, shotput, and low hurdles; Sheller in the High and Mroad Jump; VanVactor in Mroad Jump; and John- son in Maseball throw scored well earned points for Plymouth, mak- ing a total of 26 2-7 points, against Culver's 27 2-7, Argos 6 1-7, and Mremen 3 2-7. The Tournaments Plymouth’s Red Jackets” won the Sectional Masketball tourna- ment held in the Lincoln gymnasium on March 3rd and 4th. The team played in the regional tournament at South Mend. The Red Jackets defeated the South Mend Bears, but were defeated by Xap- panee. The season shows very good possibilities of a state team next year.

Baseball Nine lias made a fairly good account of itself. Al- though we lost our first three gomes, two of them by a margin of one point, we hope to come back and win the remainder of our games. In losing to Michigan City, South Bend, and Walkcrton, we met worthy foes. There is no doubt in most people’s mind that P. H. S. should have won at least two of these games but it seemed as though fate was against us in a certain one inning when the whole team would go to pieces and let in from five to seven runs which were enough to cause our defeat. Glass has been doing the twirling for Plymouth and has been pitch- ing wonderful games, but he has lacked the support in the pinches. Members on the team graduating are: Cap't Omer Pixel, Logan, Mathia, Thomas, Fries, H. Bixcl, and Grossman, leaving Glass, Clough, Hampton, Mogle, Fruits, Fanning. With the interest in baseball again rising in P. H. S., our team next year ought to get off with a better start for the Championship of St. Joseph Valley League. r,8 19-, — Campus Life 6 71 'cfio 72 Monday, A up. 24 to Sept. 5.—Football Camp!
