« Annual cReport . . . for 1947 The Committee Reports To the 400 Stockholders of P.H.S. In return for your untiring faith and trust in our corporation, we proudly pre- sent, to all stockholders, this review of our happiest and most outstanding of school years. This annual is our dividend to you for allowing us to share with you your happiness and good times. In look- ing over the pages of our report, you will recall many memorable events that took their respective places in our ’46-’47 schedule. We, as the senior class who sponsor this annual report, have tried to bring to you the finest and most appropri- ate MAYFLOWER in history and, you, as our stockholders, may judge our success. 2 GRADUATES .... 1947 1947 Annual LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL . • • • . PLYMOUTH, INDIANA 3 Several years ago, when this business establishment had just began to function, the scene of activity centered in just a few small rooms. Now this busmess concern has grown to inhabit a huge two-story building contain- ing twenty-eight rooms. The cornerstone for the present building was laid in 1923 and the structure completed in 1924. Thus for the past twenty-three years apprentices have been taking in- structions on the various trades and studies offered, and have been gradauted with honors. Yet, despite the many who have passed through the halls of this establishment, the building has retained its modern look and deprecia- tion remains low. Several additional buildings have been added to the campus since 1924. Directly behind it is another huge structure known as the Centennial Building. This was con- structed in 1936. It is used for public and social meet- GENERAL HEADQUARTERS Ts 2 i I —-- JO 4 V P 1 il o 7 R ji_ pj s' jr A J a - 7 l f L i � o � £ vo S l ► G) K 0 4 Assets: modern headquarters and grounds BROWN AIR PHOTO ings of all kinds. However, during the basketball season it has its most use, holding the enthusiastic fans who cheer on their respective teams. Because it is the largest structure of its kind to be found in the county, the bas- ketball tourneys are held here, drawing a huge number of local as well as visiting spectators. Lincoln High School is well-known for its lovely and spacious campus. With the addition of shrubs and trees great improvements on the landscaping have been com- pleted. The smooth, emerald lawn and arching shade trees provide a welcome haven for employees during their moments of leisure. The campus has also been carefully planned to include many facilities for sports. Among these facilities is a paved tennis court, which is now being taken full ad- vantage of with the revival of the sport. Also high on the list of these facilities stands our track consisting of a runway which lies in an oval shape and is one-quarter mile long. The track becomes the scene of great activi- ty in early spring. However, at the very first on the list of facilities is our well-cared for football field. This grassy rectangle' is one of this section's best. Although the seating is not too satisfactory at the present the committee wishes to report at this time that plans are, and shall continue, being developed for the construction of a completely mod- ern stadium complete with the most modern equipment. Thus is the annual report on the value of the build- ings and campus of Lincoln High School. 5 Assets: new commodities in the Some time ago the advisory board of the executive council became aware of the vast importance of languages in a world which seemed constantly to be growing smaller. With this knowl- edge came the realization that language and speech divisions in P.H.S. were rapidly becoming inadequate. A need for enlarge- ment and expansion of this department was recognized and work on this project was begun. This work has not yet stopped. Development and new improvements were, and are, constantly being made. After much discussion the council came to the conclusion that our most pressing need was that of a foreign language— one which might be of use in years to come. Thus, it was decided that because of our close relations with Latin and South American countries, a Spanish course would best suit our needs. Plans were completed, instructors procured, and the Spanish course established. Thus, for the past several years, this versa- tile, colorful language has been studied and practiced with care. DIRECTORS FLOURISHING INDUSTRY However, the course is not limited to the language alone. The gay lands of South America are discussed fully, while ex- hibits and other projects are carried out concerning the mode of life and customs practiced by her people. Each yea' at the annual exhibit held by the corporation, the Spanish section attracts a great deal of attention. In this way the Spanish course has come to hold an important position in the activities of the corporation. This year the advisory board suggested to the council that a course on public speaking be added to the curriculum. They felt that correct and interesting speech constituted an art and wished to offer this art to the students by means of such a course The council heartily agreed with these arguments and plans were put in motion. Mrs. Barnes was secured as an instructor and the class was planned for the enrollment of senior students wishing to participate. Much time was spent by these students in learn- ing the rudiments of correct public speaking. However, as time passed, these students had improved and were introducing speak- ers, plays, etc., at our auditorium programs, thus taking an active part in school procedures. 7 Stockholders Make Use of Corporation’s Library Each year new equipment is added to the corporation, and each year the program for effective education is ex- panded. The establishment is carefully checked by a com- mittee to discover what equipment is defective and must be replaced. This same committee also studies new pro- grams for education and gives advice to the board of directors as to a selection of these programs. During the past fiscal year the committee reports an entirely new program for agriculture was set up and functioned effectively during the period. OR EFFECTIVE EDUCATION Classroom utilities in the home economics and agriculture classes include equipment that help the students to have a better understanding of the subjects they are taking. 9 Assets: learning As new workers enter into the corpora- tion each year they find it necessary to master several types of complex equipment in order to be successful. This equipment consists not only of mechanical devices, bui also of devices to be mastered through the 10 the WHYS and WHEN use of senses. Such is the case in our science department where the science is taught through demonstrations by the teacher and experiments by the students. An effort is made by the corporation to Stockholders Are Benefited by Complete Equipment Mr. Hermanson teaches those students in- terested in chemistry the subject by having them do actual experiments themselves. In the mechanical departments of our cor- poration, such as typing and shop, many weeks are spent in instructing workers as to the vari- ous uses of the different types of equipment. This instruction is absolutely necessary before work begins in order to insure more efficient production and a high rate of profit to the stockholders. Thus the committee reports that in proportion to time spent on instruction, the time saved by the resulting efficiency was com- mendable. WITH COMPLETE EQUIPMENT begin each new fiscal period with new or well-repaired equipment. This equipment is given periodical check-ups and taken care of as necessary. A large share of its de- preciation is due to careless handling by workers, and so therefore, a program has been set up by the corporation to decrease this depreciation to a minimum. This program has worked effectively and the committee now reports only a minimum depreciation rate. li .Annual Report on the Stockholders The stockholders of Lincoln High School have had one of their best years so far as profits are concerned. Hard work on the part of the principal’s office, the superin- tendent’s office and the faculty, coupled with the stockholders' serious desire to gain, brought forth large profits in the form of information and a knowledge of how to use it. In the following report the committee will endeavor to give due credit to those who have had so much to do with the success of this year’s campaign, and rec- ognize the co-operation of the stockhold- ers themselves. 12 DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS 13 Z0-H ?3Ha)«ZM20 EDWARD DUNLAP, President NONA MARSH, Treasurer IVAN W.

The committee now presents a complete and detailed report on the growth and development of the investment made four years ago in the form of the students entering P.H.S. as freshmen. According to past records this date fell on September 8, 1943. Throughout the ensuing months new partners were initiated into the various activities of this new business world. In October a G. A. A. hike was held for the frosh girls conditioning them to the rigors of an athletic environment. The records also relate that during October of that year school was dismissed to facilitate rationing. In December the An- nual Frosh-Soph. party was staged. By this time it was re- ported that the freshmen were getting accustomed to the busi- ness routine and by January were ready to take an inventory of the work done during the past four months. Thus, by January 14 exams were completed and new work begun. Time passed, work was completed and by spring stock values on the class of '47 had risen somewhat above par. On May 25 the employees were dismissed for vacation and dividends were paid to stockholders on the investments made. Needless to mention, these were in the form of credits, allowing stock values to advance into a new year with a higher par. Thus ended the fiscal period of 1943 for the class of '47. After vacation we re-entered the exciting business world left a few months before. This time it was done with a feeling of familiarity for we now knew the fundamentals of our corporation and felt qualified to handle bigger and more complex work. Bill Crocker and Jean Medlock were advanced by our votes to the executive council. They were entrusted with the duty of looking out for the best interests of the stockholders who had invested in the class of '47. Several of our classmates entered into the field of literary work by joining the staff of Ye Pilgrim.

Not all was serious for during this time a clever character known simply as Butch was introduced through the talented pen of Jean Wedlock, and his antics offered relaxation to the many minds wearied by the complex work of conducting business transactions and activities during the week. Our young corporation had many bad moments during the past caused by the conflicts raging both in the East and West. However, 1945 is a year never to be forgotten. History was made and we, as patriotic citizens, helped make it. We gave our old papers, salvaged used fats and even donated our old toothpaste tubes to aid the cause. And then on May 7 spirits all over the allied world were lifted immeasurably by word that the European Axis had surrender- ed!!! Thus V-E Day was established and all efforts were turned toward the defeat of Japan. We, as a corporation, continued our work in aiding those who fought that organ- izations such as ours might survive. As yet, none of our co- wrkers had left for battle, but we had seen many vacancies appear in posts held by the junior and senior members of the firm. To keep up the home-front morale the corporation staged parties and entertainment of other kinds. Heading the list was the Frosh-Sophomore gatherine where we introduced the newest members of the firm to the life of such an organiza- tion. The band was always heard at our sports events, decked in the patriotic colors of our flag and playing the patriotic songs of our country. Helen Pesch and Jackie O'Keefe be- came drum majorettes, leading us on to victories. Don Shirar qualified as guard on our varsity football team. These boys were being groomed to hold key positions in sports activities at a later date. Just a few weeks after victory in Europe, we, the younger members of the corporation, witnessed the graduation of the senior members. Many positions were now open to those of us who qualified for the filling of them. However, before awarding these positions, a three-month holiday was garnted and we retired from our duties. We returned to our duties after one of the great history- makinq summers of all time. A new, deadly weapon had been launched against Japan and had won a complete and over-whelming victory for the allies. Yes—the atom-bomb had been introduced! We had now, as a group, been advanced to junior po- sitions in our business organization. Many of us were quali- fied to hold the coveted executive positions and these were awarded during the first weeks of re-organization. Our first election for ofifcers was held and enthusiasm ran high. Jack Greenlee was the man destined to steer us through a busy year as president. Don Shirar, Helen Pesch, ana Betty Florian aided him in this difficult task. This year was destined to be one of the busiest in our school careers as we were being groomed to assume the great- est of responsibilities in the future,—that of being the senior members of the corporation. 19 MARY JOAN JOHNSON JERRY KAIN MARTHA KELLER MARGARET KEYSER LEE KITCH LA VERNE LACHER DOROTHY LAWRENCE IRIS LONG ROBERT MART JEAN MEDLOCK DONITA MILES DE VERE MUFFLEY LEO MURPHY MARIAN MYERS CAROL NEIOIGH VIRGINIA NITCHER JACQUELINE O'KEEFE MARILYN OWEN ROBERT PARSLEY SHIRLEY PETERSON 20 Executives Report con’t. . . . The executive department was quickly reorganized and we, oeing upperclassmen, had three representatives. Bob Mart, Suzanne Speyer and Bill Crocker carried out their duties well. That year we were finally old enough to enter Sunshine and Hi-Y. Pat Pifer and Pauline Clark were 'liven executive posts in Sunshine. There was a thrilling candlelight cere- mony at the time the girls were initiated «and then as full- fledged members of Sunshine, the girls were plunged into a heavy schedule of activities. Ideal ladies were chosen, plans made for a Dad's Party, benefit tickets sold for the enlarge- ment of the Riley fund, a Boy Friends' Party, one for Mothers, and finally the Senior Breakfast. None of our fellows received executive positions in Hi-y, but nevertheless, they played a very important role in the planning of activities. Credit goes to this branch of our corporation for the fine work it did in fostering the Cen tennial landscape fund and for offering its services in the check room. The boys also had a social life, attending con- ventions. holding a chili supper and planning a highly suc- cessful Sweetheart Party. Our band reaped many honors at the Band Contest at Valpar,iiso. They also sponsored a Tag Day in order to raise funds for the treasury. Jack Greenlee and Mark Woolley were elected officers. The choir and orchestra, largely made up of the junior members, reaped honor after honor in the various contests in which they participated. The literary department of the organization was headed almost completely by a staff of Junior members of the cor- poration. Jean Medlock was named editor-in-chief, while Lee Kitch became feature editor, and Pauline Clark took charge of the school page. Bill Crocker edited the sports section. These members all strove to publish one of the best papers ever and they were highly successful. Of course, the sports department had inherited quanti- ties of very good material from the ranks of our Junior class. Don Shirar, Jerry Fox and George Emenaker filled the open positions while a great deal of aid was offered by James Read, Wesley Trowbridge, and Jack Greenlee. Further merits were given to the Juniors when Don Shirar was honored by being named as tackle on the All-Conference football team. Wes Trowbridge and Jim Read were named on the second and third teams respectively. That year was one of the best known in the football history of the scchool. Bill Crocker, Jerry Kain, and Bob Bergman aided in win- ning basketball games throughout the season. Bill won a major letter for his owrk. Several of the Junior fellows participated in track and at the Conference track meet held in May, several records were broken. Early in the spring plans were fostered for the biggest project of the year—the Junior-Senior Prom. After the many committees were named, meetings were held nightly in a business-like manner. It was decided to revive the old custom of having a banquet before the prom as the budget would allow the extra expenditure. A theme v as chosen and for weeks the plans moved fowrard in the utmost secrecy. Eventually May 17 arrived and the evening's entertainment began. After a bountiful dinner the combined groups ad- journed to take part in the Sea-Caapdes. Dancing was featured and after many hours the highlight of our fiscal year drew to a close. 21 HELEN PESCH PATRICIA PIFER JAMES READ SHIRLEE PRICE MARY RETTINGER ROBERT RIDDLE ALLEN RUDD PHYLLIS SCHAAL FRANCES SHAFER DONALD SHIRAR FLORABELLF.

We returned for a short while to our business desks occupied with the taking of examinations, which would de- termine the persons who would hold the executive reins for the future year. The student court and council, monitors, etc. were all determined before the end of the term to facilitate reorganization for the next fiscal period. Then on May 28 we received our wages in the form of report cards, and were informed of our adavncement into the senior posi- tion of the corporation of P.H.S. After a summer vacation which went too rapidly, we re-entered the corporation for our final but most memor- able year. A more democratic method of electing class officers and mmbers of the corporation's government had been es- tablished the preceding year. Each candidate was required to present a speech lasting a few minutes, starting with why he or she wished to hold an office and his or her qualifications for the position. Rill crocker was elected to the corporation's highest office, that of President. Bill Dailev became Vice-President, while Pauline Clark and Fred Wol- farth were given the duties of Secretary and Treasurer re- spectively. The choice of monitors had been made also in the year preceding. The people chosen for the positions of being watchmen and guardians were to be headed by Jean Medlock. As soon as the new fiscal period began, the moni- tors were installed at their various posts. The many other branches of the corporation began re- organization promptly. Lee Kitch was chosen to head the Ye Pilgrim staff. She was to be assisted by Mary Lou Hawkins, Pauline Clark and Jean Medlock. Lloyd Duwelius and Keith Taylor had charge of the sports section. Jack Greenlee and Bob Mart took over the duties of President and Vice-President of Band and Betty Florian and Margie Keyser headed Sunshine. Hi-Y was headed by Bill Crocker; Norma Ward headed the new Brush and Palette Club, and Phyllis Dickson took charge of G.A.A. On September 26 the senior members arrived at our business establishment looking very neat and acting extra- business-like. This was so because the day for senior picture- taking had arrived and work on the MAYFLOWER began rolling. In honor of the accredited football team of the 1946-47 team a Homecoming celebration was held. Stockholder Helen Pesch was selected to reign over the festivities with Share- holders Marjorie Vore and Betty Florian aiding her in her queenly duties. On November 20 many new members were initiated into Masque and Gavel in a solemn candlelight ceremony. Thanksgiving vacation soon was here and the corporation employees spent the holiday being thankful for their many blessings. They hoped for increased dividends and a pros- perous future for the corporation. Christmas vacation finally arrived and two weeks were spent away from our business establishment. Time had flown and the first half of our final fiscal period was drawing to a close. We returned on January 6 and began work for examinations. The county tourney was played the following week, with Bremen taking laurels. Exams were as difficult as usual, but the corporation survived the crises and set up its work for the final fiscal period. 23 NORMA WARD ROBERT WHALEY WILLIAM WENINO HILDA WRIGHT JACK WRIGHT FRED WOLFARTH DONALD WOOLLEY MARK WOOLLEY LOUELLA YCUNGMAN Executives Report con’t. . . . The senior members met early one morning for the pur- pose of setting up a MAYFLOWER campaign. Shirlee Price, sales manager, asked for and got volunteers willing to aid at the concession stands. Lee Kitch was authorized to write a script for our MAYFLOWER program which would for- mally open the sales campaign. This was cleverly done but unfortunately, the ideas could not be presented due to cir- cumstances beyond our control. This was a disappointing factor but the seniors kept their heads up and opened the campaign in spite of such difficulties. Basketball came to a close with the Sectional Tourney at which time Plymouth lost to Bremen. The Cap and Gown committee had finished its tasks oy now and time was grow- ing short. Feverish work on the MAYFLOWER filled the days of its editors because an early deadline had been set. On March 17 a concert was held by the music de- partment and was lauded one of the best in years. The Senior Play, Fresh Air, was presented to the public on April 21 and 22 as one of our final major activities in the life of our corporation. The prom, presented to us by the juniors as a final gesture of gratitude from the junior exe- cutives, high-lighted the evening of May 16. Senior Day was held May 19 and many an extra pound appeared as a result of the bountiful food. The time for our departure drew nearer and nearer. The traditional baccalaureate serv- ices were held and at length on May 22 the final dividend from our four years of work was presented to us in the form of the coveted diploma. Thus we were rewarded for our tireless efforts toward the goal of a better-paying cor- poration. 24 Executives Avocations ROBERT AVERILL—Hi-Y 3, Sec. 4, MAYFLOWER 4 JEAN BELT—S.S.S. 3, Spring Festival 1, 2, 3 LOUIS BISHIP—Culver 1, 2, Monitor 4, Hi-Y 4, Band 2, 3, 4 CHARLES BOLIN—Monitor 4, Hi-Y 4 NORMA BOWER—S.S.S. 3, 4; Booster's Club 1, Brush and Palette 4, Spring Festival 1, 2, 3, G.A.A. 1 JEAN BREEDING—Spring Festival 1 PHYLLIS BURROUGHS—Ye Pilgrim 1, S.S.S. 3, 4, Choir 4, Oper- retta 1, Booster's Club 1, Spring Festival 1, 2, 3, 4, G.A.A. 1, 2, 3, 4 AGNES CHRISTIANSEN—Argos 1, Spring Festival 1, 2, 3, PAULINE CLARK—Ye Pilgrim 2, School Editor 3, 4, Student Council 1, S.S.S. 4, Sgl.-at-Arms 3, Band 1, 2, 3, Orches- tra 3, MAYFLOWER 4, Spring Festival 1, 2, 3, Brush and Palette 2, 3, A, G.A.A. 1, Home Ec.

Yes, apprentices, and very inex- perienced, but we learned the ropes rapidly. Barbara Hen- drix, John Kellar, and Dave Servis took the honors in the Student Council election for us freshies. Many new partner- ships were announced at our Freshman-Sophomore Party. REMEMBER?? Sophomores, ah! (We don't have to run from, or be afraid of, those older executives now!) Our talents began blossoming! Choir, orchestra, band and other activities prof- ited by this uncovered talent. Jean Langenbahn acquired recognition by winning first in district and second in the state wide meet through the use of her soprano voice. In sports, major awards went to Nagy, Cox, McCan, Menser and Servis. Our share of the honors of Student Council this year were Barbara Hendrix, Dave Servis and Elizabeth Hutchings. Executives at last! We worked overtime perfecting a foolproof sales program in order to raise finances for our Prom. The honorary offices of the junior year were: Presi- dent, Lewis Hawkins; Vice President, Edward Ball; Treasurer, Rosemary Lamek, and secretary, Elizabeth Hutchings. The music department did great work. Our Student Council repre- sentatives were last year's Big Three plus Jean Langenbahn. Our football squad was superb and, although we Juniors won the Interclass Tourney, our basketball crew was just mediocre. Thus is the report to date on the past activities during the preceding fiscal period. 28 BEATRICE ABAIR JONI APPLEBAUM PATRICIA ASSELIN DELORES AUSTIN MICHAEL BAGLEY EDWARD BALL ELOISE BEAM BETTY BILLHIMER BETTY BIXEL MARY BOLINGER GERALDINE BOOKER ALICE BOTSET ALVIN BOTSET JAMES BROOKS BETTY BROWN ILENE BRUNDIGE BETTY CLEVENGER DALE COBLE FRANK COX JERRY COX BARBARA CROY LORA ANN CROY JANE CULP MARILYN DODSON MARY DOUGLASS JULIA EBERT PAT FERGUSON KATHRYN FILSON MARY FISHER MARY LOU GLASS JUANITA HARMON ROBERT HARRIS EDMUND HARTMAN ELAINE HARTMAN LEONARD HARTMAN 29 Junior LEWIS HAWKINS BARBARA HENDRIX CAROLYN HESS RITA HISS KENNETH HORN NADINE HOUIN DOROTHY HUGHES ELIZABETH HUTCHINGS AUDREY INBODY DOROTHY JACOX BEVERLY JOHNSON JAMES JOHNSTON BETTY JONES LOWELL KAUFMAN JEANNE KEHOE JOHN KELLAR BETTY KLEIN ELEANOR KOPPERT ROSEMARY LAMEK SALLY LANGDON JEAN LANGENBAHN JUNE LEE SUE LEMERT JAMES LOWER VIRGIL McCAN NORMA MAHLER FREDERICK MANUAL CHARLES MARSH PHYLLIS MAXSON JOHN MELANGTON BARBARA MENSER HOWARD MENSER PHYLLIS MILNER HAROLD MOREHOUSE RUTH MYERS 30 Executives STEPHEN NAGY DALE NEIDLINGER WILLIAM NICKEL MARILYN NIEBRAND BONNIE PENDLETON PATRICIA PLUMMER BARBARA POMEROY RUSSELL POOR FREDERICK RENTSCHLER DAVID RICHARD CAROLYN RITTENHOUSE ELSON RUFF HAROLD SCOTT DAVID SERVIS PHYLLIS SHIRAR BARBARA SMITH MERRITT SMITH ROSE MARY SNYDER RICHARD STOCKMAN DONNA JEAN SWIHART JUNE THARP DONALD THOMAS PATRICIA WAGONER WILLIAM WALKER NELSON WALKER TYRUS WALLACE PHYLLIS WARD JAMES WARNOCK ELIZABETH WARREN JUNE WEISJOHN AUDREY WRIGHT PHYLLIS XAVER NELSON YOCKEY NANALEE YOUNG ARTHUR ZEHNER 31 Advanced Donald Aker, Shirley Allis, James Arm- mgton, Harold Anderson, Richard Aver- ill, Harold Bagley.

Thus the knowledge of social activities is wid- ened greatly within our corporation. On the following pages will be found a detailed account of the activities of all the organizations that have been doing such a fine job at P.H.S. ACTIVITIES 36 37 RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES Standing by the club motto OTHERS' the Sunshine Society filled out a complete term with helpfulness and kindness to those in need. Many charitable deeds were per- formed to give meaning to both the creed and the motto of the club. First, the mem- bers presented a musical show to the resi- dents of the Marshall County Home. Through this means the Christmas season was made happier for many. A Tag Day'' was spon- sored by the club to earn contributions to be given to the Riley Hospital Fund for both medical and social supplies and help to the patients there. Along with this feeling of responsibility towards others, the year of club activities was filled with social joy for the members as well. Many parties and teas were given by the club in honor of the fathers, mothers, ideal ladies of the members and just for fun. Led by Betty Florian, the staff of offi- cers included Margie Keyser as Vice Presi- dent, Betty Irwin as Recording Secretary, Dorothy Jacox as Corresopnding Secretary, Marceline Helms as Treasurer, and Mary Douglass as Sergeant-at-Arms. The sponsor of the organization is Miss Agnes Hass. This year, in their social activities, S.S.S. combined with the boy's Hi-Y organization in a party in an effort to bring the two clubs closer together in their club duties. 38 of the CORPORATION TO CREATE, MAINTAIN, AND EXTEND THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL AND COMMUN- ITY HIGH STANDARDS OF CHRISTIAN CHAR- ACTER. This is the aim and creed ol the Hi-Y Club for boys. Organized in 1929, this club has upheld these high standards in grand fashion. The most important project of the club is the maintenance of a fund which is used for the improvement and beautification of the grounds around Lincoln High School. The officers of the 1946-47 school year were: President, Bill Crocker; Vice Presi- dent, Bob Mart; Secretary, Bob Averill; Treasurer, Maynard Hochstetler; Chaplain, Fred Wolfarth, and Sergeant-at-Arms, Jack Greenlee. Along with the club sponsor, Mr. Palmer Mart, the officers have kept the club activities running smoothly this year as al- ways. Besides buying a Tuberculosis bond and contributing generously to the Red Cross, the Hi-Y Club has done the community an- other service by running a check room at the high school basketball games. Hi-Y is not all work, however, as is shown by the entertaining of the Bourbon chapter with a chili supper and the staging of their annual Sweetheart Party. 39 THE GREEN CARPET THE PATROL COMMISSION Richard Dye was called upon The Green larpet' for violating a rule of the school, lailiff Jack Greenlee brings him into Court or Judges Maynard Hochstetler and Fred Volfarth to pronounce his sentence. Helen ’esch records the court happenings. Those who enforce the rules of school are: Back row—Louie Bishop, Charles Bolin, Bill Crocker, James Read, Jean Medlock, Don Shirar, Jack Wright, Phyllis Dickson, Marian Myers; front row—Donita Miles, Mary Joan Johnson, Marceline Helms, Betty Irwin, Pat Pifer, Carol Keidigh, Gertrude Feece. 40 A TRUE DEMOCRACY . . . To, By and For the Students Every establishment, whether large or small, must maintain order. Otherwise there will not be any work completed or progress made. This establishment, in order to run smoothly and efficiently, has its order in the form of a government system. Student participation of government in P.H.S. is based upon that of our Federal government. The Student Council is the law-making body. The Monitors who patrol the halls form the law-enforcing body, and the Student Court is the judicial branch of government. The Council has as its officers: Robert Mart. President; Bill Crocker, Vice President; and Marian Myers, Secretary. Student Coun- cil takes part in the legislation of student activities such as the selection of yell lead- ers, and class elections. The Monitors, headed by Jean Medlock, regulate traffic in the corridors of this con- cern. They help to prevent accidents by forbidding students to run, push, shove, or loaf in the halls. If students persist in vio- lating rules made for the safety of them- selves, they are given a ticket and then are summoned to court. In court they are duly penalized. Mr. Beabout is the faculty advisor for this efficient government system that gives to all students a practical knowledge of democratic government. The Student Board of Directors Before the monitors can enforce the rules or the court can deal out its justice, there has to be a body to make the rules of this establishment. This Board of Directors in P.H.S. is formally known as the Student Council. Those who make the rules of the school are, standing: Richard Dye, Jean Langen- bahn, Clyde Hickman, Beverly Roush, Mar- jorie Miller, Jay Read, Carol Neidigh, Eliza- beth Hutchings, David Hott, Barbara Hen- dricks; sitting: Bill Crocker, Bob Mart, Marian Myers. 41 Standing, left to right: Betty Irwin, Sue Frederick, Shirlee Price, Bob Mart, Bob Averill, Iona Hiss, Pauline Clark, Helen Pesch, Jacqueline O'Keefe.

Early last spring a staff was chosen for the '47 MAY- FLOWER. And then the work began! Meetings were held, ideas were exchanged and even before the '46 MAY- FLOWER had come off the press the theme for this year's book had been chosen. Jean Mediock, heading the staff, saw that the staff members carried through the Business Report theme on the annual. Mary Hawkins and Lloyd Duwelius wrote the many reports needed for the book. Lee Kitch and Marian Myers visualized the finished product as they gave out with their ideas for the make-up work. Bob Averill, Bob Mart, and Jackie O'Keefe saw to it that the many pic- tures were just the right kind for a business report. Iona Hiss and Betty Irwin, through their artistic abilities. helped with the completion of the book. Indispensable to the MAYFLOWER staff were the busi- ness managers, Shirlee Price and Pauline Clark. It was they who saw that the ideas of the editors were kept within the financial boundaries of the organization. As the literary work was finished the typists, Betty Cook, Helen Pesch and Sue Frederick, typed the material for the printer's dummy. Behind all this work stood Mr. Beabout, ever ready to help the students in the difficult problems that arose as the work proceeded on to completion. Thus by the co-operation of the staff this '47 MAY- FLOWER was completed.

Published weekly except during special oc- casions by student staff members at Lincoln High School, Plymouth, Indiana, YE PILGRIM has served faithfully as the mouthpiece of the school. Relating news events, aiding in beneficial causes, and alluminating views on subjects pertaining to school affairs, the school paper has maintain- ed its high standards throughout the past year. This activity, directed by Miss Janice Tid- Marsh and Mrs. Dorcie Phillips, is one of a high caliber, exacting time and effort of all students involved. Serving well in her post as Editor-in- Chief, Lee Kitch guided a staff of Jean Medlock as Feature Editor, Pauline Clark and Mary Haw- kins as School Editors, Lloyd Duwelius as Sports Editor, Liz Hutchings as Art Editor, Jim Johnston as Cartoonist, Betty Irwin as Business Manager, and Phyllis Dickson and Gertrude Feece as Typ- ists.

Seated Marcelme Helms, Jack Greenlee, Lloyd Duwelius, Sue Frederick. The Senior Executives Present . . . One of the biggest thrills in any student's life comes when he is a senior. The night of the senior play is one to be re- called long after all others are forgottten. So may it be with FRESH AIR, for this was certainly a play to be remembered. Leading the audience through an excitement packed after- noon in a Los Angeles park, Maynard Hochstetler. Sue Frederick, Jack Greenlee, Margie Keyser,, Bud Rudd, Marilyn Owen, Jack Wright, Jackie O'Keefe, Carol Neidigh, Pat Pifer, Fred Wolfarth, Marceline Helms, Roger Gurthet, Betty Irwin, Jerry Fox, Marx Woolley, and Lloyd Duwelius kept the pace moving swiftly. Through their antics many were informed of the real doings behind poli- tics today. Performances of the play were given for the student body on April 18, and for the general public on April 21 and 22. Miss Marcella Cornetet successfully directed the group of performers in their work and was helped by Miss Agnes Hass. In reward for their efforts, the cast was given a trip to Fort Wayne to view a real stage play. This evening of enter- tainment followed on the heels of the play itself, April 25. It can be agreed that FRESH AIR did add some FRF.SH AIR to the exhausted activities of Lincoln High in 1947 and 1948.

Dramatics and speech play an important part in high school activities and so it is in the P.H.S. Corporation. Since 1940 a nation-wide Masque and Gavel Club has been organized to bring together students who have talent in that field. These potential actors are chosen for membership by fellow classmates belonging to the club. As with most organizations there is an annual election of officers. The officers for this fiscal year are Maynard Hochstetler, president; Jerry Cox, vice-president; Joan Ap- plebaum, secretary; Marian Myers, treasurer; and Donita Miles, sergeant-at-arnis. Masque and Gavel Where We Act and Speak Last fall the members of Masque and Gavel presented an outstanding example of their dra- matic ability with their interpre- tation of IN OUR STREET, a three-act play written by Hilda Manning. Proceeds from the sale of tickets went to a fund ofr new stage curtains. 45 First row: Eleanor Koppert, Ruth Myers, Mrs. Gondring, Norma Ward, Bonnie Gardner.

THE BRUSH AND PALLETTE . . . for a pleasure and a purpose The prospering club of the year was that of the Brush Palette. This club original- ly formed as the Art Club, took its new name with its new management. The name was chosen by the members when Norma Ward, Ruth Myers, and Eleanor Koppert took of- fice as President, Vice President, and Secre- tary-Treasurer, respectively. Throughout the entire school year this organization has been the one to spur students on to greater achievements in the field of art. Sponsored by Mrs. Majora Gondring, club activities were at a high pitch throughout the nine months of the school term. At various times the Brush Palette presented a puppet show and color review for the stu- dent body, made and sold Christmas cards, and donated seven color paintings to the school to be hung in classrooms. Besides all of this, a trip to Chicago to view the art galleries and museums, pot-luck parties, and a dinner party given by a caterer were the social activities of the club. A scrapbook of the many doings of the Brush Palette club of 1947 and 1948 was kept for others to view and to follow. 46 They Lead the Parade The Plymouth High School Band is one of the school's most valuable assets. Clothed in red and white uniforms, the 51-piece band has played at the majority of the football and basketabll games. Mr. L. B. Eherenman instructed the musical group throughout the year and molded it into one of the best bands that Plymouth has ever had. The P.H.S. Band as an organization has made an outstanding name for itself by giving excel- lent performances, in a public concert sponsored by the Parent-Teacher Association in March, and at the District Band Contest at Nappanee. Good accounts were given in both events. The staff of ofifcers for 1946-48 were Jack Greenlee as President, Bob Mart as Vice President, Sue Frederick as Secretary, and Joe Fiederick and Phil Eherenman as Librarians.

Eherenman (instructor), Phyllis Shirar, Dorothy Jacox, John Reed, and William Wagoner. THE CLASSIC ELEMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION The 1946-47 Plymouth High School Or- chestra has probably been the most outstand- ing one Plymouth has ever had. Devoted to the task of enjoying music and helping others to enjoy music, the P.H.S. Orchestra has put on many performances for the public and has been outstanding in every one. The twenty-six members of the orchestra prac- ticed faithfully under the direction of Mr. Eherenman and, thus, achieved near perfec- tion. This near perfection is proved by the fact that the orchestra received first place rating in the State Band Contest held in North Manchester in the spring of '47. This organization is a tradition that has been well kept and its value can easily be seen by the numerous programs that have been filled by the orchestra. Hundreds of people have enjoyed the music played by the group when putting on public perform- ances. 48 The Singing Voices Bring New Laurels to Our Corporation This proud group of robed students seems to hold the high school honors this year since the State Music Contest rated them first division. Recognition must be given to the instructor, Miss Jane Kinsey, a new-comer to the P.H.S. faculty this year, who has proved her ability in the field of teaching music. This club has accomplished many things under her capable leadership and the help of its elected officers: Marceline Helms, President; John Melangton, Vice-Presi- dent; Jack Beabout, Secretary; Ruth Myers, Treasurer; and Joni Applebaum and Duana Peterson, Librarians. Count- ing noses, they number 31, and to quote a contest judge: There are none too many, each section being perfect. Their loss of members with the graduating class is small, so good luck is extended for the coming year.

The following pages recount the achievements of one of Plymouth’s greatest football teams, tell of a fighting basketball team that thrilled P.H.S. fans for an entire season, laud the participants of another of Plymouth’s truly great track teams and last, but sure- ly not least stories of the homecoming, the cheer leaders and the Girls’ Athletic As- sociation. ATHLETICS 54 5 COACH THOMAS Director of Athletics The football, basketball, and track director for P.H.S. is Arthur Thomas. Coach Thomas received his B.S. de- gree from Indiana University in 1932 and his M.S. de- gree from the same university in 1933. Coach Thomas, having formerly coached in the Muncie Junior High School, came hack to his home town of Plymouth in 1942. GREENLEE SCORES THIRD TOUCHDOWN AGAINST ADAMS IN HOMECOMING—Jack Greenlee, a Rocky fullback, took to his feet and sprinted over for a touchdown. Other Plymouth players are: (left to right), Trowbridge (in the foreground), Emenaker, Fox, Read, Riddle, and Servis. T H E 1 9 4 6 H O M E C 0 M 1 N G G A M E 56 COACH ROGERS Ass’t. Director of Athletics The assistant director of the football, basketball and track teams is Dorrance Rogers who started his coaching career in Plymouth in 1936. He received his B.S. de- gree from Butler University in 1936. Coach Rogers com- pleted his work for a Master's degree at Indiana Uni- versity in 1946. 57 The P. H. S. Corporation Attains New Records in Competitions Long before school started last fall almost sixty po- tential football players reported to Coaches Thomas and Rogers to form the beginning of what was to be one of the best Plymouth football teams in the history of Lin- coln High Scnool. Advance notices of the Rockies indi- cated that Plymouth fans could expect a poor year in foot- ball since only three regulars were back from last year's team, but these three players, Don Shirar, Wesley Trow- bridge, and Jim Read formed the nucleus of a truly great team. After losing their first game, a 20 to 6 encounter at Warsaw, the Rockies really got to rolling and triumphed six consecutive times before losing to C.I.C. Champs Hunt- ington in the final game of the season. This gave the Rockies a record of six victories and two losses, the best record a Plymouth football team has ever compiled. They also completed the fifth consecutive season in which a Plymouth football team has scored at least one touchdown in each of its games. Included in the Rockies' list of victims were John Adams of South Bend, Crown Point, Columbia City and C.I.C. foes Monticello, Alexandria, and Wabash. Monti- The Executives of the Gridiron Top row Davis, Shirar, Greenlee, Emenaker, Trowbridge, Smith, Duwelius Middle row: Fox, Riddle, Duram, Crocker, Woolley, Read Bottom row: Wolfarth, Menser, Cox, Servis, Nagy. 58 THE ROCKIES' FOURTH TOUCHDOWN AGAINST JOHN ADAMS—Here is Sleepy Davis, Plymouth halfback, as he lunged over the goal line following a 13-yard dash around right end in scoring the Rockies' fourth touchdown in their 39 to 19 victory over John Adams. At left is Halfback Nagy and in the rear is Trowbridge (No. 31). Corporation Attains Records (con’t.) cello and Alexandria were the first to bow before the Rockies, losing by 14 to 0 and 27 to 13 scores respec- tively. Both games were at Plymouth. Crown Point was the site of the next Plymouth victory, a 21 to 12 affair, before the Rockies returned home to vanquish Wabash 34 to 28, and John Adams 39 to 19 in the Homecoming game. After administering a 33 to 6 whipping to a rough Columbia City team, the Rockies let the C.I.C. title slip out of their grasp by losing to Huntington, 20 to 6. The 1946 Rockies were captained by Don Shirar, a 190-pound tackle, and Wesley Trowbridge, a scrappy guard. Aided by Guards Bob Riddle and Jerry Fox, Tackles George Emenaker and Kenny Horn, Ends Lloyd Duv'elius, Merritt Smith and Fred Wolfarth, and Centers Jim Read and Mark Woolley, they formed one of the toughest forward walls ever to perform for Plymouth. A good line is worthless without a backfield that can carry the ball and Plymouth was fortunite in this depart- ment, too. Jack Greenlee proved himself a giant in worth as time and again he picked up precious yardage from his fullback spot. Halfbacks Norman Davis and Steve Nagy lugged the leather for the majority of Plymouth points while Dave Servis and Jerry Cox did a grand job of calling signals from the quarterback position. Don Aker Corporation Attains Records and Vernon Snoke were indispensable as substitute back- field men. Four players were injured in pre-season practice. Jerry Cox was unable to play the first half of the season because of a sprained ankle. Bill Dailey and Bill Nickel were out the entire season, Dailey with a broken ankle and Nickel because of a Jiead injury. Howard Menser, a returning letterman, was out most of the season because of a leg injury only to be injured again immediately upon re- turning to the lineup in the Columbia City game. (con’t.) Throughout the season the team was spurred on by the other stockholders of the school. Led in yells by Bud Rudd, Margie Keyser, and Jeannette Handy, the fans went wild as they saw the team go on to many victories. On October 11 the Homecoming was held. The Stock- holders held an election for the Homecoming Queen. Helen Pesch was elected Queen, with Margie Vore and Betty Florian as her attendants. Helen reigned over the fes- tivities as the team brought home another victory. Junior Executives Of the Gridiron Standing: V. Snoke, J. Warnock, G. Horn, R. Silvernail Second row: L. Hawkins, D.

Although winning only seven of their eigh- teen scheduled games, the Pilgrims proved themselves capable of putting up a tough battle against any competitive organization. The P.H.S. Pilgrims got off to a good start on the Friday night of November 15 despite the dire predictions of local scribes when they vanquished the invading Wina- mac Indians, 34 to 27. This first look at the Pilgrims was en- couraging but we Plymouth fans were soon rid of any illusions as the Rochester Zebras came to town and swamped our P.H.S. ath- 62 First row: R. Poor, V.

El- wood came from behind in the closing min- utes of the game to win 38 to 36, but Alex- andria was not so lucky as they lost to Plym- outh, 35 to 36. December 6 saw the Pil- grims bow to Peru 28 to 39 on the Peru floor, but the Pilgrims came back the next night and held a tough LaPorte Slicer team to a 33 to 30 win. Their next two wins were over the Mishawaka Maroons, 37 to 34, and the Culver Indians, 46 to 45, in an overtime. This brought the record to four victories and four losses. On December 20 the Monticello Tioga Indians were 34 to 30 victors over Plymouth. In the first game of the new year South Bend Riley treated Plymouth to a 53 to 42 drubbing. The Pilgrims picked up a 45 to 33 win over Bourbon before County Tourney play started. The annual Marshall County Basketball Tourney went as usual with huge crowds watching 'teen age athletes battling it out on the court. Our P.H.S. athletes got past the first round by drubbing Bourbon 54 to 33 but ran into a tough Bremen outfit which proceeded to methodically run up a top-heavy score of 56 to 43 to shove our boys out of the tourney. Bremen eventually won the tourney by sgueezing past the Culver Indians in the final game, 43 to 41. The following week our P.H.S. boys jour- neyed to Bremen and just missed gaining revenge as they lost to the Lions by a 40 to 38 score. John Adams and Wabash came to Plymouth on successive week ends only to get beaten by our Pilgrims by 40 to 39 and 45 to 42 scores respectively. February 7 Rochester gave Plymouth the first of its four losses in a row as the Zebras won 39 to 30. The next night the Tipton Blue Devils, one of the better teams in the state, beat the Pilgrims 53 to 37. On the following Friday night Warsaw put in their ten cents worth and edged out the Pilgrims 39 to 38. Huntington then finished the Plymouth schedule in grand style by drubbing the Pil- grims 55 to 32. The Sectional Tourney finished the 1946- 47 basketball season for P.H.S. Plymouth was put out of the running in the first game when Bremen handed us a 52-44 beating. The final game saw Bremen and Culver face to face again only this time Culver gained its revenge by winning by a 52 to 48 score. Major awards for the season were given to Captain Bill Crocker, Jerry Kain, Wesley Trowbridge, Jerry Cox, Lewis Hawkins, Steve Nagy, Dave Servis, Merritt Smith, Don Aker, and Vernon Snoke. Manager Lowell Kauf- man also received a major award for his work. Bill Crocker won the annual Sportsman- ship Trophy, awarded by the City Basketball League, and also the Rotary Club's Trophy an annual award to the most valuable player in all sports. Kennie Horn won the Free Throw Medal, awarded by the high school. 63 Bill Crocker Forward Wesley Trowbridge Forwaro Jerry Kain Center Steve Nagy Guard Lewis Hawkins Forward Dave Servis Guard Howard Menser Forward Kenneth Horn Center Merritt Smith Forward Jerry Cox Guard Vernon Snoke Forward Don Aker Guard lompetitive Jesuits We They Vinamac 34 27 Jochesler 27 54 11 wood 36 38 Alexandria 36 34 Jeru 28 39 .aPorte 30 33 Mishawaka 37 34 Culver 46 45 Vlonticello 30 34 Jiley 42 53 Jourbon 45 33 Jremen 38 40 (Adams 40 39 Vabash 45 42 Rochester 30 39 Tipton 37 53 Warsaw 38 39 Huntington 32 55 Apprentices Of the Court Standing: Voss, Wenino.

TRACK, AN ASSET TO PHYSICAL TRAINING Another major activity under the title of Sports is Track. Unlike other athletics, it is not a game but a match of skill with the main objective being score making. It is uncanny how each year brings new stars into the picture to break previous records and we wonder about the future and its coming supermen. Track doesn't furnish much fun for its contestants and this year finds it regretful to have talent in our school going to waste because of that. We are fortunate in having a very able coach with a favorable record in the athletic field. The different events and the boys who helped carry the load were: High Hurdles— Bill Crocker, Bill Walker, Stanley Mitchell, Jack Beabout, Chuck McConnell. In the dashes— ’Sleepy Davis, Bob Deacon, Squirt Neidlinger and even Kenny Horn got in there for a fifth place. 440 and half milers—Jerry Kain, Red Smith, Vernie Snoke, Jim Warnock, Bob McQueen, Dale Sullivan, Russ Poor and Lewie Hawkins. A dozen or more thinlyclads picked up many needed points for the Pilgrims in the field events. In the shot put are Jack Green- lee (who twice set new school records), Ken- nie Horn and Vernie Snoke. In the pole vault Virg McCan, Don Aker, Rog McCan and J. Read. The trio of broadjumpers are Dave Servis, Aker and Pentelow, while in the high jump were Aker, Jerry Kain, Jack Beabout, Snoke, Armington and H. Keller. 66 G.A.A., AN ASSET WHICH PROMOTES PHYSICAL FITNESS One of the larger clubs in P.H.S. is the Girls Athletic Association. This association is sponsored by Miss Griffiths and Its officers are Phyllis Dickson, President; Betty Clevenger, Vice- President; June Lee, Secretary-Treasurer; and Donita Miles, Recording Secretary. A Soccer Spread is held each year as an in- formal initiation of the new members, and along with numerous Play Days attended, the club activities are at a high pitcn. The main ob- jective of the group is the presentation of a Spring Festival. This exhibition, put on by the physical education classes, shows the activities of a normal high school girl. A queen and court are selected by the members of G.A.A. to reign over the fastivities. Standing: Phyllis Dickson, Lee Kitch, Pat Pifer, and Marceline Helms. Seated: Betty Florian, the Queen, and Margie Keyser, the Maid-of- Honor. 67 PATRONS Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Anderson Sam Baker Barbara Alice Baldwin The Barrel I)r. F. W. Bauer Bear-Cat Store Arthur F.
