At the sight of the underclassmen, a feeling of nostalgia sweeps over us, as we think back to that day, so many years ago, when we were thrilled and proud to be entering Lincoln High School. We entered P. H. S., 120 strong, in the fall of the year 1936. We took the change from grade school to High School in our stride and fit into the scheme of things from the first. Our first social event, a hallowe'en party en masque, was a decided success. Ross Kaser's mechanical man costume drew first prize. A note of hilarity was added to the occasion, when Ross attempted to divest himself of his get up, and found he was sewed in. Our sophomore year was spent with a vision of circles, triangles, and parallel lines dancing in our heads, for we were taking that famous subject, geometry. Qiipman and Hartman excelled in art, while Elkins, Hileman, and Kaser won lau- rels on the athletic field. Nimble feet and a flexible digit were the sole requisites for popularity at the sophomore party. The Big Apple was the latest dance rage, ice cream in coke was the favorite confectionary concoction, and Cupid's darts flew thick and fast. As juniors, we embarked on a political campaign and Wentzel Wagoner was elected president of the class. The other officers elected by popular choice, were: Treva Read, vice president, Phyllis Haag, secretary, and Joe Elkins, treasurer. The New York World’s Fair Junior-Senior Prom was an artistic and highly sophisticated achievement. Its success amply repaid us for our work, worry, fev- erish painting, and hurried lunches eaten at school. Dan Cupid's expert marksmanship robbed of us 7 members of our class. Our theme song could well have been, Those Wedding Bells Are Breaking Up That Old Gang of Mine . During our reign as seniors, Hileman was elected class president. Other offi- cers were, Miles, vice president, Poore, secretary, and Cannon, treasurer. Our bas- ketball team won sectional honors—the first since our freshmen days. Don Minx organized a snappy swing band, that won the enthusiastic acclaim of all who heard it. Plans for the editing of the MAYFLOWER were being put into effect, with much bustling and hustling by the staff, but all, with the utmost secrecy. The senior play, This Genius Business , was highly successful. Grayce Dexter and Vemer Wolf had the leading roles and handled them admirably. The entire cast turned in a near-professional performance. The Spring Festival, a yearly physical education demonstration, was outstandingly unique in arrangement. Highlighting the festivities, was the crowning of Evelyn Marsh as Queen of the Festival. The crown rested gracefully upon her lovely blonde head. As a class, our history has ended; as a part of the Alumni Association it has just begun. It is our duty, still to support all high school activities. We were loyal to our school while we were receiving an education, and as a part of the Alumni, we should continue to be loyal. Furthermore, it will be our happiness to bring distinction to our school. As the class of 1940 leaves P. H. S., we are glad that we are not saying a final farewell. SHIRLEY THOMA Page Sixteen We are waiting on the threshold, Girded, ready for the strife; Waiting till we shall be marshalled In the battle-ranks of life: Waiting for the bugle's ringing, Through the tumult to be heard, For the order, ‘'Forward!'' bringing Work and conflict in a word. Yet we ask one thought of sadness, Tho' bright hopes illume our way; Tho' our hearts are filled with gladness, Comrades, we must part today 1 Yes, we part; and while before us Lie the welcome future years, Yet your voices fill the chorus Like the sound of falling tears; Though 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 are clinging, And, like distant chiming bells, Through the chorus you are singing Hear our sorrowful Farewells!'' When we 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 that heavenly rest above: Then, with raptured voices ringing Sweeter far than earth has known, Shall we join the chorus, singing Praise before the great white throne.

This is Station P. H. S. bringing to you SPORTS ON PARADE. CAPTAIN WEBSTER This is Rosemary Harris, your sports announcer. We have as our guest today, Coach George Belshaw, who will give you the low down on Plymouth's Fighting Eleven. Mr. Belshaw, what do you think of this year's football team?” Well, I thought that the heavy loss of last year's squad would handicap our prospects for the 1939 football season, but with the addition of Swisher and Fortin, the Rockies fared pretty well. With Captain Webster encouraging the Rockies out on the field, the team made history in football by winning four games and losing four games, which gives a larger percentage of wins this year than ever before.” Who was your toughest opponent this season?” Rensselaer was probably the toughest opponent, although Wabash was plenty tough, too. Pago Forty Were there any spectacular plays made during this season?” DOWNING SINGREY FORTIN SUSELAND FRUITS HILEMAN SWISHER KASER WARNACUT Pa ?o Forty-Two Yes, in the Columbia City game Fortin made a sensa- tional 52 yard run, and a clever reverse play gained 22 yards lor Kaser, which brought the score to 21-6. Fortin also made a spectacular 56 yard run in the Warsaw game. “Who made the most points throughout the season? Kaser made a total ol 31 points throughout the season, while Hileman and Fortin followed closely with 30 and 24 points respectively. “Now fust one more ques- tion Mr. Belshaw, before we close our broadcast. Why die the team change their name from Pilgrims to Rockies? Well, I guess the only rea son for the change was tha the team thought that Rockies sounded tougher than Pil- grims. I thank you very much Mr Belshaw, and may your nex year's team be capable o breaking the record establishec by the member's of this year': squad. Mr. Belshaw, did any of your boys make the all con- ference team this year? Yes, we had three boys make the all conference team: Hileman, Webster, and Fortin. Webster and Fortin were given honor- able mention for the all state football team. And now let me introduce the second team. In the first row, seated from left to right, we have Squires, Harner, and Baker. Fisher, Klapp, Bonnell, Ball, and Harper make up the second row. In the third row, from left to right, we find, Mclntire, Price, Broomall, Holloway. Flora and Dague. The Line-up: Row 1—Thomas. . . .Singrey... .Wamacut... .Capt.

This is Rosemary Harris, your sports announcer, presenting to you through the courtesy of station P. H. S. George Belshaw, basketball coach of the Plymouth Pilgrims. The Pilgrims lost the county tourney by a 24 to 18 defeat by Lapaz. Turnabout is fair play, so the Pilgrims nosed out the Lapaz Vikings 39 to 22 to carry off sectional honors. Now, we will see v hat Mr. Belshaw has to say about his team this year. What do you think of this year’s basketball team, Mr. Belshaw? Well, I think we have a good ball club this year. We have won eight games and lost twelve. This isn't so bad considering the illness that our team has suffered. All of the boys were in good condition when the sectional was played, and that is why we came out on top. What kinds of illness did your team suffer throughout the season? Kaser has had a bruised cartilage in his knee ever since the Rochester game at Rochester. Bonnell had infected ears, and Elkins had several sore ribs that prevented him from playing very long. The student managers are from left to right: Mark Downing, Bob Poore, and Joe Fortin. Page Forty-Four From the eighteen different teams that you have encountered this season, who seemed to be the toughest? Lew Wallace seemed to be the tough- est. Every boy on their team was about six feet tall, and height plays an important part in the game of basketball. Do you have any comment to make on the Rochester and Warsaw games? Yes, I think it would be all right if we would break even with Rochester every year, and ii was about time to win from Warsaw since they have won every game since 1932. Who scored the most points throughout the season? FCubley was high scorer with 205 points. Morrow and Hileman were second and third with 124 and 117 points respectively. By the way Mr. Belshaw. why not introduce the members of your squad to all our radio listeners. I think perhaps, that some of the Pilgrim fans might be a little in- terested in knowing a little something about the fellows who make up your team. Why of course. I d be glad to, Miss Harris. First of all we have Kaser, a snappy forward who has played on the varsity for three years. Due to a knee injury early HOLLOWAY KASER ym i KU9LEY MAY Pag© Forty-Flvo in the season, he was unable to play but a few games. Ross is a senior this year, and I'm afraid that next year's team will feel his loss when he graduates this spring. Almost everyone knows Elkins. He's about the scrappiest player on the floor and is a whiz on the defense. Joe's been on the varsity three years and is liked by everyone who knows him. He has a wonderful personality. Hileman, another three year man. is an excellent guard and is a good steady player. The team will lose a good man when he graduates this May. Singrey joined the team late in the season, but turned out to be one of the most valuable players on the squad. Like all the others. Lem is a senior and won't be back with us next year. May. the tall lad from Royal Center, has only played for P. H. S. 1 year, but in that short time, has gained quite a name for himself. He plays a position as forward. Winsted. one of the tallest boys on the team, didn’t see much action this year because of an appendicitis operation. Winnie played center and had a level eye. one reason accounting for his accuracy at foul shots. Snyder, a junior, is noted for his speed and rhythm. Because of an injured back, Bob was unable to give his best performance on the floor. A lot is expected of him next year. Harper is the biggest boy on the squad and plays guard and center. Hank is only a junior this year and will be back next year to give height to the team. Morrow, a forward, is a dead shot on free throws. He has another year to play on the varsity, a fact which we're all very grateful for, because he'll be one of the most valuable players on next year's squad. Kubley is only a sophomore, but already has seen much action, as a member of the first ”5 . He is a forward and. as I've a’ready told you before, is high point man on the team. He's a sure shot. Page Forty-Six Bonne!! is a junior this year and will b3 back on the squad next fall. He's a good guard and plays excellent ball. Young is a junior who got off to a bad start. The first part of the season he was handicapped by a blister on his heel, and later on, was hampered by colds. He didn't see much action, but when he did play, he had the position of center forward. Hol.oway, better known to his fans as Fat, is also a junior and plays guard on the varsity. Thank you. Mr. Belshaw, this has bean quite an interesting interview and I am sure all of our listeners have enjoyed every minute of it. Standing . . . Hileman, Kaser, Harper, Snyder and May. Seated . . .
