THE MELODIOUS LIFE OF THE PLYMOUTH YOUTH AS RHYTH- MICALLY PRESENTED IN THE 1937 MAYFLOWER ARRANGEMENTS ................. AND LYRICS .......... BY ............. HARRIETT HADDOCK ...........EDITOR CHARLES PINNEY BUSINESS MANAGER PUBLISHED . . FOR YOUR . PLEASURE . BY . . . . THE SENIOR . CLASS . THE 19 3 7 MAYFLOWER LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL PLYMOUTH, INDIANA FOREWORD Within the covers of the 19:57 Mayflower we have endeavored to picture a complete symphony of school life in Lincoln High School. From the baby songs of the freshmen to the dignified marches of the seniors, and from the lilting strains of operettas, glee clubs, and choruses, to the thun- dering boom of the Lincoln High School Band, it has been our aim to keep in harmony with the goals and ideals that have been set up by those who pre- ceded us. ;r DEDI CAT I O N To Ray Kuhn, maestro, who has blended our school life into a harmonious symphony, the re- frains of which shall linger in our hearts and minds all the years of our life, we, the class of 1937, dedi- cate this Mayflower. RAY KUHN, Superintendent 5 COMMUNITY AND THE SCHOOL Plymouth celebrated its 100th birthday this year by staging a gigantic centennial. The Centen- nial Auditorium, the culmination of the celebration, will have a lasting effect on the lives of the peo- ple of Plymouth during the next century. This building was built for the combined use of the community and the school. An extensive recreational program under the supervision of Mr. Thomas Downey has been put into effect for the townspeople. Only basketball games and the larg- est high school affairs are held in the new building. The school and community owe a lasting debt of gratitude to Superintendent Ray Kuhn, because it was largely through his efforts that the auditor- ium was made possible. jr CENTENNIAL AUDITORIUM SCHOOL BOARD Three progressive and intelligent men—vitally interested in the welfare and development of Plymouth’s youth—constitute the school board. They are: J. A. Broman, President A. W. Thompson. Treasurer Harold Pifer, Secretary � jj A D M I N ISTRATION We are proud that we have two very capable men at the head of our administration, Mr. Kuhn. Superintendent and Mr. Beabout, Princi- pal. With their knowledge of school work, their interest in others, and their cooperation with each other, they have given us a progressive and sound educational system. During the five years Mr. Beabout has been here, he has been in- strumental in introducing and developing such progressive measures as Board of Control, home room, monitor systems, and activity tickets. It is largely through his efforts and methods, too, that athletics have been put on a paying basis. PRINCIPAL H. R.

Our team is our fame, protector. On boys, for we expect a victory. From you, P. H. S. Che-he! Che-he! Che-ha-ha-ha! Che-he! Che-he! Che-ha-ha-ha! P. H. S. Rah! Rah! P. H. S. Rah! Rah P. H. S. Rah!

S. 12 SENIORS We, the class of 1937, entered Lincoln High School one hundred and twenty-five strong. By successfully hiding our “Timidity” and entering our students in every pos- sible field, we soon lived down the title of “Green Freshmen”. Charles Pin- ney was elected the out- standing boy and Harriett Haddock the outstanding girl. Margaret Morris and Geraldine Myers won first and second places, re- spectively, in the County Latin Contest. Our numbers had di- minished by the time we were sophomores but this had no effect on our spirits. We did not sink into “Sophomore Sluggish- ness” but kept putting more members into activities. Charles Pinney was again elected the outstanding boy and Beatrice Steiner the outstand- ing girl. Geraldine Myers won first place in the County Latin Contest. Louise Thompson was the champion speller of the school. Our junior year was one of our happiest years. The most outstand- ing event for us was the giving of the Junior-Senior Prom. Artificial snow and aurora borealis effects were used to carry out an Arctic theme. In preparation for this we initiated the idea of Tea Dances after school. Charles Pinney was elected editor of Ye Pilgrim in his junior year. He was the first junior ever to hold the position. Charles Nelson and Lowell Peterson, our class president, went to the National Music Con- test. Louise Thompson won the spelling contest again. And so at last after three happy and eventful years we are seniors enjoying to the fullest our last days in Lincoln High School.

These underclassmen take good pictures and are all a swell group of students. 34 EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Lincoln high school offers its students a broad field of extra-curricu- lar activities. These include clubs, dramatics, music, journalism, social organizations, and sports. Through these, many new fields of interest are opened up to the student. His horizon is broadened. Life interests, hobbies, and even vocations are found. The picture above was taken at the TRI-L Sweetheart Party in Feb- ruary as the couples lined up for the Grand March. Japanese lanterns swayed, weird music sounded and burning incense created a truly orient- al atmosphere for one of the never-to-be forgotten TRI-L parties. 35 TRI-L Seated: Elizabeth Heim, Mary Nell Langdon, Dorothy Pett, Katheleen Easter, Mary Kathryn Bergman, Marjorie Benjamin, Wanda Reynolds, Johanna Staley, Grace Dexter, Beatrice Steiner, Madge Derf, Virginia Wagner, and Mary Alice Bennett.

Its aim has ever been to stimulate a more democratic feeling, to provide opportunities for the girls to meet socially, and to promote the development of high ideals. Every girl in Lincoln high school belongs to Tri-L. This makes a membership of two hundred girls. The activities of the organization are carried on through the cabinet and committees. The program is similar to that of a Junior Y. VV. C. A. Some of the outstanding social events on the Tri-L 1936-1937 calendar were: an Autumn Tea honoring the freshman girls; a Kids Frolic at Christmas time for all the girls in school; the Japanese Sweet- heart Party in February also for all the girls in school; and a Mothers and Daughters Party in May. Other activities of the Tri-L included the collection of White Gifts at Christmas time for Plymouth’s needy, a musical auditorium program, afternoon teas and talks by outstanding people. Senior girls, who graduate this year, will always hold a warm spot in their hearts for memories of Tri-L days. Tri-L 1936-1937 Officers Beatrice Steiner ............ Kathleen Easter .............

Hi-Y boys have ever lived up to their international high standard. They are always ready to lend a helping hand to the needy. This year, as of previous years, the Hi-Y boys gave four Christmas baskets to the poor. They were also one of the first organizations to give a substantial fund to help in the flood areas. This year they have sponsored the check room in the Civic Auditor- ium. With the money that they took in from the President’s Ball they bought four stands for the dressing rooms that can efficiently take care of five hundred coats. At their semi-monthly meetings they have been discussing vocations and stressing personality points. This year’s outstanding social events include the Christmas party. Mother’s and Son’s banquet, and ‘‘Best Girl” dance. Hi-Y 1936-37 Officers Earl Sauerwein Charles Pinney James Bergman Kenneth Jewell .

And so when try-outs for the staff were held in October, a record number of seniors showed up. After the process of elimination had been completed and a staff appointed, we started to work with real “vim and vigor”. We set a new record when our twelve salesmen sold two hundred and fifty-nine books in the first twenty minutes of the contest. The num- ber was close to the four hundred mark when the contest closed. This also was a new record—the largest number of Mayflowers ever to have been sold by any one senior class. After sales were over; cameras snapped; typewriters clicked; editors hurried through the halls; students and teachers alike were hounded for information; but finally the turmoil ended; and on April 1 the Mayflower went to press.

This conference is held annually at Franklin Coffege. There were nine members from Plymouth, a much larger group than that which attended any previous year. Miss Larmore, a business advisor, and Miss Hass, the sponsor, chaperoned the group of young journalists.

BOOSTER CLUB BOARD OF CONTROL BOOSTER CLUB Over one hundred Lincoln High School students make up the Booster Club. Everyone who is a booster of our High School has the privilege of belonging. The Boosters attend the home games in a body. They may be spotted by their enthusiastic yelling and also by their Booster emblems. Fifty of these Boosters piled in a school hack this fall and attended the football game at La Porte. We feel that our Boosters Club has done a great deal for our school and we are cheering for its progress. Officers Lowell Peterson ..... Margaret Morris ..... Don Houghton ........ Harriett Haddock .... ..........President ..........Secretary ..........Treasurer Publicity Manager BOARD OF CONTROL The Board of Control is a centralizing and coordinating agency for the extra-curricular activities of the schoool. The club aims to sponsor and promote a complete school program. On September 26 the Board of Control sponsored the “Float” con- test for the homecoming parade. This year each class entered a float in- stead of each home room. The sophomores won the contest. The annual spelling contest was held in the early spring and courtesy week was held the week of the sectional tourney. The monitor system was reorganized this year with following peo- ple chief monitors: Bob Livinghouse, Ruth Dexter, Earl Sauerwein, Jim Bergman, Geraldine Myers, Kathleen Wolforth, Pat Miller and Al- bert Chipman.

B. Eherenmann, music supervisor, who came to Plymouth two years ago. The school now boasts a twenty-four piece orchestra and a fifty-piece band. ORCH ESTRA The orchestra furnishes music for such special occasion as the sen- ior play, baccalaureate, and commencement. The high school also has a senior ensemble which will play at bac- calaureate. The members are: Kenneth Jewell, Hugh Deale, Charles Nelson, Earl Sauerwein, Geraldine Myers, Lloyd McFarlin, Harry Hepler, Lowell Peterson, Ward Troyer, and Bill Houghton. BAND The band is fast becoming an indispensable part of our school life. It has done a great deal towards building up our “pep” at basketball games. Besides playing at all the home football and basketball games, the Band played at the Bourbon Fair and several of the political meetings. It has also given two concerts for the public.

Every person in school belonged to a club. This year club meetings have been held after school and membership has been optional. ART CLUB This club, newly organized this fall and affiliated with the Junior Art Club of the state, has proved very popular. The club has studied Indiana artists, especially those living in and near Plymouth. The club celebrated National Art Week by sponsoring a poster contest, by holding an exhibit of pictures from Notre Dame, and by sponsoring Cora Bliss Taylor, from the Taylor Art School in Chicago and Sangatuch. Michigan, in an auditorium talk. The club has twenty-five members and is sponsored by Miss Mary Jane White, art supervisor. Officers are: Geraldine Casterline, Presi- dent; Albert Chipman, Vice-President; Mildred Mann, Secretary.

The clubs activities have in- cluded talks on the construction of airplanes and the demonstration and building of model airplanes. Mr. Myron Phillips has sponsored both clubs. CRAFT CLUB Beadwork, wood carving, weaving, metal work, and clay modeling have occupied the hands and minds of the twenty-five members of this club which was sponsored by Miss Ann Morris, Home Economics teach- er and Handicraft Instructor in summer training camps.

Officers of the club were: Norma Neidlinger, President; Loretta McPherson, Vice-President; and Irene Myers, Secretary-Treasurer.

It all seems just the same as last year, except, we do have two new teachers, Mr. Phil- lips, commercial teacher; and Mr. Carr, industrial arts. Of course, being seniors, we arc look- ing forward tc the best year yet. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 11, 1936 D. D: Tonight we defeated Logansport 19-0. Jim Puett, our coach, has resigned to take up coaching duties at Logan sport. This was his last game. We hate to sec him go. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1936 Dear Diary; Tonight, after a lot of shoving and pushing. Marvnell Langdon claimed all rights to the $326.00 offered at the Rial- to. It looks as though P. H. S. is do- ing all right by their Little Nell . (I’ll bet the boys will rush her now, the mer- cenary thing) Ho hum! and so to bed. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1936 D. D: . - !,FI The first Ye Pilgrim of the year came out this morning. The students’ eyes watered over the nice, juicy gossip. Isn’t it funny how everyone revels in a little bit of dirt dished out with the right swing? ? ? ? FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 25, 1936 D. D: Got all worked up in a pep session at 3:00. After school we worked on the floats for the contest tomorrow. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 26. 1936 D. D: , Up bright and early, slaved on the float for the home-coming game. Sopho- mores won, and they get their class name engraved on an honor plaque. It rained cats and dogs and ruined our float. Ply- mouth won 14-12 over Valparaiso. There wasn’t any dry playing, either. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 28. 1936 D. D: We had senior play tryouts tonight after school. The play is to be “Thru the Keyhole”. Another heart boat enme today—the new assistant coach, Mr. Rogers, to take Mr. Puett’s place. After inquiring from various people, we found that he was married. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29. 1936 D. D: Shrills and shrieks, moans and groans, sighs, chills and trills among booms and rooms, bangs and clangs and clatters echoed through the halls of P. H. S. as the glee club held the sextet and quar- tet tryouts. The first band concert of the year was held tonight. It was a big success. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 1, 1936 D. I): Tri-L had its annual tea for the fresh- man girls this afternoon. I played. The football boys held a pot-luck sup- per for their parents and the coach to- night. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1936 D. D: Played Crawfordsville on their grid tonight. We lost the game as well as part of our youth. Were those guys brawny and tough! At least, so they tell me. I didn't go. It was too far. MONDAY. OCTOBER 5, 1936 D. D: A funny incident happened today—as a matter of fact, it has been happening just about every day for the last week. Myra went to bov’s health class. Won’t she ever learn? ? ? TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1936 D. D: Today Beatrice Steiner was elected president of Tri-L. Oh. yeah, by the way, a boy winked at me today. I winked back. I don’t know the color his eyes were, because he shut both of them in the sentimental effort. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 8. 1936 Dear Darling Diary: The boy who winked at me is named Wilbur and now today Ye Pilgrim came forth in all its glory to spread Wilbur and me all over the gossip columns. Is my face red! Isn’t it funny how love sick people like to gossip. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1936 Dear Diary: Juniors and a few seniors were the victims of a marathon achievement test today to ascertain the amount of brain matter they possessed. Pep session at 3:16 for the Columbia City football game. The slogan was “Out to Win” and we did with the score of 12-0. It rained. There were quite a few cases of people running out of gas and flat tires. 48 DIARY THURSDAY. OCTOBER 15, 1936 D. D: - Today we had auditorium. The De Willo Concert Co. provided the program. It consisted of two ladies and a man, playing musical instruments and singing parts of operas. I adored the gown the one lady had on—it had a rip down the back. I wonder if Mama will let me have one like that for junior and senior prom. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16. 1936 D. D: Did we have fun today! We started our Mayflower campaign in auditorium this morning. There was a contest between senior home rooms to see which one could sell the greatest number of subscriptions. 101 won that part and 107 was second. I didn’t go to the game tonight ’cause it’s too far to Wabash. Wilbur went and he said it was rather a good game, al- though, it was a little lopsided. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1936 D. D: I think this is what they call a fur- lough from school. Slept late this morn- ing. What a treat! The HI-Y boys went to the Notre Dame and Washington football game at Notre Dame. I guess they almost froze, cause Wilbur said he did. MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1936 D. D: Big Board of Control meeting this morning at 8:00—or rather—it was supposed to be at 8:00. I’ve never been there at 8:00 so I don’t know. The senior play cast has been chosen and are they working or are they work- ing? THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1936 D. D: This morning the little reporters, edi- tors, “Winchells??”, etc., got up bright and early to journey to Frankfort with Miss Hass and Miss Larmore to take in the Press Convention. Vacation for three whole days. Such ecstasy! MONDAY. OCTOBER 26, 1936 D. D: We all went to the Warsaw game this afternoon. Brrr! Was it cold? Warsaw took Plymouth 20-6. Wilbur was there. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 29. 1936 D. D: Rowdy-dow. After school the juniors gave their first tea dance of the year. The gym was decorated with big pump- kins and cornstalks, making everything look “Hallowe’enish . It was a success and the juniors are looking forward to sponsoring more of these rhythmic ex- hibitions. Wilbur and I went, and did we swing it. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 4. 1936 D. D: At 10:15 this morning Max Gilstrap, the “Whistling Ranger, whistled and told us some stories about Yosemite Valley and Yellowstone Park. Boy. “I’ll never fergit the time I spat a mile. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 6. 1936 D. D: Saw “Through the Keyhole” tonight. It was good. Wilbur escorted me. All the senior home rooms were trying to sell the most tickets. 204 won. They would! Will they ever be conceited now. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1936 D. D: . m Mrs. Cora Bliss Taylor from the Tay- lor Art School talked in Auditorium and demonstrated oil painting and painted a picture of a bowl of flowers for the art room. I wonder if Wilbur likes Art. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1936 D. D: We had our first basketball game of the season tonight. This afternoon we tried out some new yell leaders and to- night we veiled our heads off. We played Lapaz. It was a thriller. Everyone was excited. Plymouth won, of course. It looked like a football game part of the time. Wilbur sat by me. He is very romantic. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1936 D. D: Big pep session after school. “Out to Argos and Win” was the slogan. Played basketball with the Argos Dragons to-night. When the Pilgrims and the Dragons get together the game is bound to be good. We won 16-11. After school there was a tea dance sponsored by the juniors. It was all “Thanksgiving-ish”. Again it was Wil- bur. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1936 D. I): There was a Thanksgiving program in the auditorium. Everyone left with high hopes of a swell vacation. Wabash played here tonight. They certainly showed us up. It was thrilling and terri- bly exciting. Wilbur says that he is go- ing out for basketball after vacation. I always wanted to go with an athlete. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 26. 1936 Thanksgiving turned out to be a day of sorrow for us—Ruth Jane Fetherolf died at Healthwin Hospital this morn- ing. It was so unexpected—we thought she was getting better. 49 DIARY MONDAY. NOVEMBER 30, 1936 D. D: We all went to Ruthic’s funeral this afternoon. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 2, 1936 D. D: We are organizing a new Boosters Club under the sponsorship of Mr. Toni Downey. We are ordering emblems and are all going to games together. More fun. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 5. 1936 D. D: Junior party carnival to-night. Jun- iors only—I stayed home. TUESDAY. DECEMBER 22. 1936 D. D: Well Xmas vacation has started. At school this afternoon Theacallosin gave a play. “Why the Chimes Rang. To- night everyone was worked up over the Plymouth and Culver game. It was really a thriller, but Culver won. Just wait un- til next week. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25. 1936 D. D: Wake up everybody. Santa Claus is here. Wilbur gave me his picture and a box of candy. I guess I still have my charm because he is tops” with all the girls. No snow, but still a grand Christ- mas. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29. 1936 I). D: Big blind tourney at Nappanee. Our first game was with Goshen and after giving them some close competition for a while we finally dropped the game. Rochester won the tourney. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1936 D. D: Ah—The big game has come and gone — We lost 18-17. Another one point game. Wilbur was on the bench for the first team. He didn't get to play, but I hope he will soon. FRIDAY. JANUARY 1. 1937 I). D: Well, vacation is almost over, but Plymouth got beat by Culver. Plymouth has lost the last few games by one or two points. The sectional will bring us revenge, I hope. SATURDAY, JANUARY 9. 1937 D. D: Whee-e-e! Our losing streak is broken. We beat I.aporte tonight in a whopper of a game. It looked as though we were going to lose for awhile, but we fooled them. The Boosters Club took over a bus load of kids and they raised the roof. Wilbur went with the team. TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1937 D. D: Auditorium at 10:30. It seemed so un- important when we thought of the big dedication game tonight. We played Huntington here tonight and won. 1 wonder if we can win the rest of the games played in the new gym. (Includ- ing the sectional.) I guess Wilbur didn’t feel so good tonight, ’cause the coach didn’t let him play. FRIDAY, JANUARY 15. 1937 D. D: Rowdy-dow! Our basketball team played Peru’s tonight and was it wild! We lost. Wilbur went with the team, but I guess the coach doesn’t appreciate Wil- bur’s merits, for he didn’t get to play. The band finally had their much post- poned concert. SATURDAY. JANUARY 16. 1937 D. D: Tonight we played Wabash with their Yarnelle brothers. Such a game. Another one-point defeat. They are the only team in the conference that has not been de- feated. Maybe we’re not so bad after all. TUESDAY. JANUARY 19. 1937 D. D: Worry—worry—worry! Exams! And they talk about the Spanish Revolution! That’s mere child’s play compared to the tortures we went through today. This cry of agony will be continued tomorrow. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1937 D. D: H-m-m-m. And wasn’t government a nice tasty morsel. But it was my last exam, until next semester. THURSDAY. JANUARY 21, 1937 D. D: We touched a lighter vein in the hum- drum of our school life this morning, when we had the humorous speech con- test. Ruth Dexter, Betty Bonne]], Chris Willett. Kate Thompson, Gerald Coffeen. and “Pat Pinney gave readings. Pat won with a characterization of a sales- man. It was swell. FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1937 I). I): Whe-e-e-e! We beat Bourbon, 31-29. We played it in our new building. That’s the second one we have won in the new gym. I hope it is a good omen. Wilbur didn’t get to play—although, he did help keep the bench down. SATURDAY, JANUARY 23. 1937 D. D: Am I stiff and sore! Ten senior girls journeyed to Bremen today to take in a G.A.A. Play Day. We hurried back to 50 DIARY the Centra! of So. Bend and Plymouth game. Such a farley. We won 32-19. Wil- bur got to play a whole minute. I just know he will be a second Kessler. TUESDAY. JANUARY 26. 1937 D. D: Oh, to be a monitor. I hear they had a party tonight. They ate, danced, played ping-pong. I heard also that they had a business meeting, but that’s a mere matter. FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1937 D. D: Our fourth victory in the new gym! We beat North Judson in a swell game. I hope this good playing continues until tournament time. I hope we get the sec- tional. SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1937 D. D: Tis the gala day—or should I «ay night. It’s tbe President’s Ball. Wilbur and I went. We had the duckie t time. It rained cats and dogs. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2. 1937 D. D: Number 5. We beat Bremen tonight. Wilbur didn't even get to smell the basketball. Tsk! Tsk! I guess no one un- derstands him. That is, but me. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 5, 1937 D. D: Well, well, 101’s John Barrymores, Greta Garbos, Mae Wests, Robert Tay- lors, etc., got together to give us a little play this morning. It was called Hold It Please”. Was it swell! Of course, I like 101. We went to Warsaw to see the basket- ball game. Such a game! The score was 41-35. Their favor. Bernie got his eye cut. Bloody Beef! FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12. 1937 D. D: Nappanee is our jinx or something. At least, they seem to be, since they have beaten us three times, now. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1937 D. D: The sophomores did things up right tonight at their party. It seems they bad a swanky night club with chorus girls and everything. They were great, they say. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14. 1937 D. D: St. Valentine’s Day! Wilbur gave me n snazzy box of candy! Was I thrilled! We went to the show then. Maybe Wilbur will be my valentine? TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1937 D. D: Is the school buzzing! It seems that seven of the basketball boys violated training rules and were kicked off the team. This will make it bad for the Rochester game. And then there is the sectional. Woe is me! WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17. 1937 D. D: Well, now the boys are hack on the team. I’m sure glad they are back. That’ll make them play harder than ever now. There’s Rochester, Warsaw, and then the sectional. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 18. 1937 I). D: The Glee Club is going to give the operetta called Magazine Princess”. I wonder who will be in the cast. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1937 D. D: Ah. the night of nights, the battle of battles, the feud of feuds—Rochester vs. Plymouth. We lost 29-39. We had Roches- ter fooled when they thought our team was all smashed up bv the “Valentine’s Folly”. Well, we foiled” them. Wilbur didn't do much in this game. He only looked interested. (In the blonde babe from Rochester). I’ll get him. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20. 1937 D. D: Such a day! We had a G.A.A. Play Day here today in the new gym and the old one, too! We played basketball, volley ball, and ate. We also had a program. Am I tired. I am so-o-o sle-e-epy! MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1937 D. D: Today was George Washington’s birth- day. The reason I thought of it was that an orchestra was playing It’s a sin to tell a lie”. I wish someone would tell Wilbur that, the little-! TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23. 1937 D. D: Wilbur took me to the Washington School’s play tonight. He’s such a dear! FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 26. 1937 D. D: Well, we were out for revenge tonight, but we didn’t get it. We played Warsaw and got took by the score of 38-23. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27. 1937 D. D: Chop Suey (or something like that) was the high sign at the “Japanese Lantern tonight. It was the annual Tri-L Sweetheart Party. Some of those chinks” were cuter than the dickens. 51 DIARY Mae West crashed the party. And then there was the reporter (?) who made a scoop. THURSDAY. MARCH 4. 1937 D. D: Ah. here’s what we have been waiting for! The sectional! It started at 7:00 tonight and the first two preliminaries were played off. I hope Plymouth takes Culver like Grant took Richmond. FRIDAY, MARCH 5. 1937 D. I): We beat Culver! If we do get defeated in the next game, we can say that we beat Culver. They were too cocky and over-confident. SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1987 D. D: We won the sectional! We played Tip- pecanoe, Culver, Bremen, and then North Judson. Am I happy! We go to the Regionals now. We play Rochester the first game, and Mishawaka plays Elk- hart the second one. I wonder what will happen? MONDAY, MARCH 8. 1937 D. I): No American Observer test today. Mr. Kleckner promised an exemption if we won the sectional. He showed his supreme confidence, however, when he didn’t make out the test. SATURDAY. MARCH 13. 1937 D. I): On to Rochester!’’ That was our bat- tle cry all the way down to the Regional. After we got there, it was On to Vic- tory”. But—we changed our tune a little bit after we got there. We didn’t seem to click so well. Rochester won the regionals. SUNDAY, MARCH 14. 1937 D. D: Well, well, tonight we are free souls —or sumpin’ to that effect. Training is all over after these long weeks. Dates in peace. No conscience to bother Wilbur and me, now. FRIDAY, MARCH 19. 1937 D. D: The Indiana University Band gave a concert this morning at the Community- Building. Were they ever good! They played several band numbers together, and then some of the members gave in- dividual solos. The trombone player played Nola”. Was he good! Then the little (?) xylophone player played Star Dust. How romantic! SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1987 D. D: Rochester took their semi-finals. Gee. maybe we weren't so bad after all. They beat us by only one point once this year. They play Anderson and then the winners of the Fort Wayne and Huntingburg game. FRIDAY. MARCH 26. 1937 D. D: Ah—spring, spring, beautiful spring. Spring vacation and all its glories. Yippee! SATURDAY, MARCH 27. 1937 D. D: Well, Anderson beat Rochester and Huntingburg defeated Central of Fort Wayne. Anderson then defeated Hunt- ingburg to take the championship. A boy from Huntingburg got the Gimbel Award for Sportsmanship. THURSDAY, APRIL 1. 1937 D. D: I hate Wilbur, I hate spring. I hate vacations, and I love school. Anybody can tell by that line of talk that it’s April Fool’s Day. There was an April Fool Edition of Ye Pilgrim today. The pictu res—yeow! FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1937 D. D: Ah. the much waited for day of days. The Senior Swing. The Blue Jackets played the seniors and their guests danced, and they all had fun. The most people running around with chalk on the back of their clothes—don’t worry they were from black paper with white silhouettes on them. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7. 1937 D. D: There was going to be an operetta to-night, but Pete got an attack of laryngitis and held up the curtain. THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1937 D. D: Earl Sauerwein’s team won the ticket sales contest for the operetta. His team topped the sales of Hugh Deale’s team by 42 points. Miss Cornetet, sponsor of the winning team, was presented with roses; while the sponsor of the other team, Mr. Kleckner, was given two beautiful white lilies. In other words, he got the rasp- berries. FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1937 D. D: We have a new baby grand piano, thanks to Miss Townsend and the Vocal department. 52 DIARY TUESDAY, APRIL 13. 1937 D. D: , „ , The Hi-Y «ave a Mother’s and Sons Banquet to-night. They had the darling- est” silhouettes of the members. Miss White and Gerry Casterline made them. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 14. 1937 D. D: , Well, the operetta was given for the high school students tonight. Was it a wow! The “Magazine Princess” stole their hearts. It seemed that Sally screamed again. And Billy E. made a wonderful Red Rosie. SATURDAY. APRIL 17. 1937 D. Dt . , . The big state commercial contest is being held today at Muncie. Our school sent two typing teams and two individual contestants. The advanced team is made up of Waunita Hunt. Bee Steiner, and Regina Emenaker, the beginning class is sending Madeline Greer, Louise Thomp- son, and Norma Neidlinger. I wonder how they came out. MONDAY. APRIL 19. 1937 D. D: The honor banquet beat anything you ever saw this year. Seems as if the love bug is worrying Mr. Kuhn. What will our school do without Miss Ahl. Miss Townsend, and all the rest next year? Pinney and Truman got Kizer awards. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21. 1937 D. D: Of all the racket. Of all the blue notes, sour notes, discords, etc. The band mem- bers are getting ready to play in the band contest. All of them are practicing night and day. Hope we win. SATURDAY, APRIL 24. 1937 D. D: , Today we played host to the rest of the Conference and had the track meet at our field. The awards were to be pre- sented by the May Queen and her court. Pat tried to win all first places so that he might get the award from Regina. Ah—love. FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 1937 D. D: The Hi-Y Sweetheart Party was given tonight. All the boys took their best girls and went social with a bang. All the girls got gardenias! Wilbur took me—thrill, thrill. SATURDAY, MAY 1. 1937 D. D: May Day. Saturday Club gave the seniors girls a tea. We furnished the en- tertainment (which included a few’ sly hints in Miss Ahl’s direction). FRIDAY, MAY 7. 1937 May Festival! The first one in the new auditorium. It was the story of the sleep- ing beauty. Queen Regina reigned with a quiet dignity and grace to offset her beauty. FRIDAY, MAY 14. 1937 D. D: Well, the dreadful day has finally come—Exhibit. Those oil paintings the advanced art class made are doozers. I’ll bet Van Gogh is jealous! FRIDAY. MAY 21, 1937 D. D: Tonight was the night of nights. Tha Junior-Senior Prom. It was pretty snappy, nice music, swell food, and clever decorations. Wilbur and I went and had the time of our silly young lives. Rowdy - dow! Of course, their prom couldn’t touch a candle to ours. SUNDAY, MAY 23, 1937 D. D: I have heard of people perspiring, but I have never seen so much of it until tonight. We had Baccalaureate, the first ordeal of graduation. I feel decidedly sentimental after all— MONDAY, MAY 24. 1937 D. D: Brains, brains, don’t fail me now. We seniors have our little brain twisters (exams to you). I sure hope I make it at this late stage. WEDNESDAY. MAY 26, 1937 D. D: Class Day! We all acted like kids again. Food—stacks of it—and all kinds of it. Underclassmen looked sort of hungry when thev saw us. Everything tasted deliciou®. It was a sort of dressed up affair. Wilbur looked so nice in his new suit. I didn’t look so bad myself. THURSDAY. MAY 27. 1937 D. D: Ha-ha-ha-ha! We’re getting revenge now. Someone else is taking the exams now. The seniors got together and talked over their plans and their futures. We have a grand class, and I hope we don’t drift apart. FRIDAY, MAY 28. 1937 D. D: Commencement! Caps and gowns and diplomas! Sighs of relief and sighs of sadness! It has been a grand year—and it has been fun! Shall we ever have such good times again! But I'm afraid I am getting sentimental and so lest I do— 111 say Good-night, “Old Diary”. 53 HALL OF FAME We Nominate For Our Hall of Fame Betty Bonnell ...............................For being the most beautiful Beatrice Steiner ..........................................For being the most popular Harriett Haddock ..........................................For being the most capable (leraldine Myers ............................For being the most brilliant Frances daub ................................For being an all-around girl Betty Cook.........................................For having the best line 54 HALL OF FAME We Nominate For Our Hall of Fame Tom Ferguson ..............................For being the most handsome Hugh Deale....................................For being the most popular Lowell Peterson .........................................For being the most talented Charles Pinney ..........................................For being the most brilliant Harold Truman ..........................For being an all-around athlete Jack Rupley......................................

We realize that our yell leaders often play a very definite and difficult part in shaping this attitude, and so at this time we wish to express our appreciation to them. Three big ones for our yell leaders— Rah! Rah! Rah! ;r 56 SPORTS All basketball games this year were played in the new Centennial Auditorium. The picture below shows Plymouth and Warsaw ready to start into action on the night of February 26, 1937. The sectional tourney was held in the new building. Schools par- ticipating were: Bremen, Bourbon, Culver, North Judson, Tyner, West High, Knox, Tippecanoe, Grovertown, Hamlet, San Pierre, LaPaz, Argos, Centertownship, and Plymouth. Plymouth won the tournament by defeating Culver 48-33 in the final game. 57 f r COACH DOWNEY Last fall when Jim Puett, football coach, resigned to take the Logansport job, Mr. Downey took over the duties of head foot- ball coach here and finished the season with a splendid showing. Thomas E. Downey, former Franklin four-letter star, is serving his second year as basketball and track mentor of P. H. S. THOMAS DOWNEY The winning of the sectional tourney, the third time in the history of the school, is another laurel for Mr. Downey. The Pilgrims defeated Culver, Bremen, and North Judson in the Sectional but lost to Rochester in the Regional Tournament. Since Mr. Puett’s resignation Coach Downey has been assisted by Dorrance Rogers, graduate of Fowler High School and Butler Univer- sity. Mr. Rogers played both football and basketball while attending Butler. Mr. Rogers also has charge of Junior High School athletics. 58 P CLUB Inserts: Charles Pinney, basketball captian; Harold Truman, football captain.

He is only n junior and much is expected from him next season. Don Doggie” Glass—The West Ends “Mighty Midget” who was always good for the needed yardage will also be appreciated next year for his ability to plunge through lines. Junior “Mitt” McKiney—“Mitt when needed, played defensive end. He is a junior and will be in the regular line-up next season. Joseph “Moose” Fuller—Joe, a tackle, who was also drafted as a center, made him- self proud by his fine blocking which paved the way for many gains. James “Snakehips” Bergman—Jim’s ability to throw the pigskin high, wide and hand- some into the receivers arms was one of Plymouth’s main ground gaining hopes. He has one more season left. Harold “Elad” McLaughlin—His consistency in breaking up line smashes and offen- sive strength marks him a standout in the Pilgrim wall. He played tackle. Bernard “Al” Scheetz—This pass snaring end who kept Plymouth in step with their opponents and whose educated toe made aftertouchdown conversion and field goals an asset to the team will be missed next fall. 60 FOOTBALL Schedule 1937 Sept. 10 Logansport .......................................There Sept. 17 Huntington .......................................There Sept. 25 Valparaiso ................................. —.....There Oct. 1 Rensselaer .........................................Here Oct. 9 Columbia City .....................................

Charles Broncho” Pinney—Hard driving fullback and heaviest man on the squad tips the scales at 180. Bronk” is a deadly blocker and one of the high scorers of the season. Harold “Harboil” Truman—Captain Truman serving his third as a member of the varsity has lived up to all expectations. His brilliant punting has kept the team out of many holes this season. Jack “Pidge Rupley—Jack, a product from Columbia City, plays the stationary guard position. He is one of the fastest men on the team as well as a hard driving tackier. Tom “Fergie” Ferguson—Though his first year on the squad Tom played the role of a reserve at tackle and end positions. Tom never gave up hope and was always still punching away at the final gun. Gerald Mag Mangun—Gerald played the running guard position and with his lead- ing interference on wide end sweeps rolled up many large gains. Mag is a junior. Richard Handsome Bonnell—Bonnell plays end and with another year of experi- ence should develop into a real defensive end. Bill Billy Drubert— Bill, big fullback, who received little experience this season but who has another season left to carry on for Downey’s Pilgrims, should come thru in a big way. Louis “Slugger Ball—Smallest man on the squad, alternated at guard and wingback position. His speed and drive not only helped him but made many an opening for the rest of the backs. 61 BASKETBALL Season’s Record 1036-1937 Plymouth................. 31 Plymouth................. 16 Plymouth................. 22 Plymouth................. 24 Plymouth................. 29 Plymouth ................ 17 Plymouth................. 23 Plymouth................. 20 Plymouth................. 23 Lapaz ..................... 15 Argos ..................... 11 Wabash .................... 32 Goshen .................... 25 Tipton 30 Rochester ................. 18 Culver 27 Culver 22 La Porte .................. 18 Harold “Shirley” Truman—Harold played his third and last year on the varsity, was leading scorer and one of the smoothest working forwards seen this year in action. James “Jim” Bergman—Was runner-up in the scoring column. Jim hits with either hand, plays forward and has another year of service. Jack “Yickety” Rupley—“Yick”—small but mighty guard who makes up for his height in speed and accuracy in splitting the mesh. His service will be greatly missed. Bernard “Bernie” Scheetz—His taking off of rebounds was our main hope for fast breaking. He is a center and is serving his last year on the varsity. Charles “Pat” Pinney—Captain Pinney is the most accurate shot on the squad; he is also one of the best defensive back guards ever produced at P. H. S. 62 BASKETBALL Season's Record 1936-1937 Plymouth................. 30 Plymouth................ 22 Plymouth..................31 Plymouth................. 32 Plymouth................. 36 Plymouth ................ 31 Plymouth................. 36 Plymouth................. 29 Plymouth................. 26 Plymouth................. 23 Peru ..................... 35 Wabash ................... 25 Bourbon .................. 29 Central South Bend ....... 19 North Judson ............ 31 Bremen 22 Warsaw .................. 41 Nappanee ................. 39 Rochester ............... 36 Warsaw 39 Gerald “Mag” Mangun—'“Mag” is a floor guard who is adept at left hand hook shots. Much is expected from his next season. Joe “Moose” Fuller—Tallest man on the squad, towering around six feet two inches, plays center. Joe was slow rounding into form but has come through in fine shape. Richard “Dick” Bonnell—Center on the second team who saw plenty of action on the varsity. With another year of experience he should de- velop into a real player. Tom “Tim” Ferguson—Tom always peps up the game with his hard, fast, and clean playing. This is his last year on the team. Arnold “Doc” Dunfee—Handicapped by an operation, he was off to a slow start, but was in fine condition by tournament time. “Doc’s” a sophomore. 63 NEXT YEAR'S PROSPECTS First How: (Loft to Right) Bill Ruggles, Gotho Wilkins, Arthur Wagnor, George Long.

A.—one of Lincoln High School’s most active and popular organizations. Any girl in high school may be- long to the club, although this is the first year freshmen have been eligible. This year all girls’ athletics have been carried on under the the auspices of G. A. A. A soccer league was organized in October and a soccer tourney was held in November. A tennis league has been organ- ized this year for the first time. Other activities include volley ball, basketball, soft ball, and noon league. Five of the twenty-five points necessary to earn a G. A. A. emblem may be earned by participation in any one of the above league activities. Further points may be secured for nine hours of hiking, golf, skating, archery or swimming. On January twenty-third, ten senior girls attended a Play Day at Bremen. They were: Regina Emenaker, Sibyl Thomas, Frances Glaub, 66 Ethel Jeffries, Myra Carnefix, Betty Bonnell, Esther Grossman, Bette Eherenmann, Barbara Baker and Katherine Bottorff. On Saturday, February 20, G. A. A. observed its annual Play Day. On this occasion fifty members of the club with the help of their sponsor. Miss Hazel Ahl, acted as hostesses to a corresponding number of girls from Goshen, Mishawaka, Bremen. South Bend Central, and Culver. Teams made up of girls from each school played basketball and volley ball. A pot luck luncheon and a program of stunts, dances, readings, and musical numbers completed the day’s program. Each team took its name from some state. Wyoming won the tourney. The May Festival concludes the year’s program. The local club has patterned its constitution after that of the state organization. As a result, a sophomore girl is elected each year as sec- retary-treasurer. In her junior year she becomes vice-president and in her senior year she is president. Officers of G. A. A. the past year were: Regina Emenaker ............President Mary Jane Yoder........................Vice-President Dorothy Pett .....................Secretary-Treasurer Miss Hazel Ahl ...............................Sponsor 67 The crowning of Virginia Ruggles, senior, as May Queen was an im- portant feature of the May Festival festivities. Virginia’s attendants were: Phyllis Easter, Martha Tharp, Marie Kline, Elizabeth Thomson, and Mary Cook. Jackie Beabout carried the crown and Jacqueline O’Keefe and Sally Cleveland carried the train. The Cinderella Ballet was then presented for the royal party. Eleanor Burket was Cinderella; Bill Ellis, Prince Charming; Helen Ann Mallory, the Fairy Godmother; Helen Lee and Jane Holloway, the Ugly Sisters. 68 Besides the Ballet a program of tumbling, drills, acrobatics, pyra- mids and apparatus work was given. Tap dancing was an outstanding feature of this part of the program. The May Festival activities were directed by Miss Hazel Ahl, girls physical education instructor; Costumes were supervised by Miss Ann Morris, home economics instructor; and stage sets were designed by Miss Mary Jane White, art supervisor. 69 Here is something new and different in snaps . . . Miss Ahl, our ace producer of the May Festival . . . Bill Ellis, the student manager and a good one, too . . . Tom Downey, the coach . . .
