No school is too large to be uninterested or too small to be able to help in the celebration. Plans have been in formation since 1928, when a naticnal committee was appointed to begin collecting material and informing schools. By means of radio, newspapers, and magazines, the public is learning cf America's Tercentenary. This special issue of the annual 1935 Guccessue, is one of the Union City School's activities in keeping with the national celebration. .But education has not always been available for people all over the United States. The first public school in this country was established in Boston in the year 1635. It was named the Boston Latin School. It has had continued existence even to the present day. With one school leading the way, many such schools were establiched in Massachusetts. In the year 1647, twelve years after the founding of the first public school, a law was passed in the state cf Massachusetts requiring every town of fifty householders to maintain a master to teach reading and writing, and every town of one hundred householders to maintain a grammar school. The wages of the master were to be paid by the parents whose children took advantage of the instruction. In most of the New England colonies education was considered a public responsibility. New York, Pennsylvania, and the Southern colonies, however, did little in connection with schools preceding the Revolutionary War. ss succ-essus The four decades following the Revolutionary War marked many changes in the school system. Local autonomy gradually gave way to st-te supervision. Nearly all the states now have laws making educ tion compulsory. Today we recogni ze three main types of public schools: (1) The city elementary and high school, (2) The centralized school which includes a hi h school and department, and (3) The rural district school which is fast disappearing because of greatly improved methods of transportation. However, we are most interested in the history of the Union City school system—and an interesting story of endeavor and true citizenship it is, too. The first school in Union City was a private one. It was opened in the fall of 1853 by Miss Mary Ensminger. About a yea.r later the first public school was opened on a site near the railroads on Columbia. Street. When the school was first opened, George W. Brainard and his wife, Emily H. Brainard, the teachers, had seven pupils. The building was destroyed by fire. A new building was erected on the site of the present West Side high school building in 1858. This was a two-story, brick structure with three rooms. Three groups of rooms were added at later times to the building. There were then eight regulation class rooms and an office. In 1882 the school system wa.s composed of four years of primary work, two years of intermediate, three years of groan-mar grades, and three years of high school., making a total of twelve years in all. At that time only one child in every one hundred v ho entered the first grade finished high school. But before we advance too far, another word about that first school on the present location. In 1872 the first high school class was organized by Walter B. Page. From those thirteen people came the first graduates of the Union City High School, four of them in the year 1876. The school built in 1858 became, after • time, inadequate for the increased educational demands of the Union City population. So, in 1891 the building was demolished and a larger and much better-one was erected at the same place. There were about three times as many rooms including a large study hall and science laboratories. Another valuable addition to the new building was the Stone Library adjoining the study hall. At least two thousand volumes wore in the Stone collection. . = 1935 5 szS SUCC'CSSUS it! jj I d I nil «n5oi80h0?i did not have the a vnntp.ge cf an auditorium; ail public, gatherings had to be held in the study hall. :ur basketball team was at a disadvantage because of a gy..,.:asium greatly resembling in shape the main '' rrjdcr cf °ur present building. • 1 lA55, _due to increased attendance, the South Gide '■arol was built, it was used for many years 1 rrtly as a scnccl shop and home economics department. the high school building and contents were tctal-„Ld®f!,rryed Jy fire; The following year tried the ingenuity and citizenship of the faculty, civic organizations, and _ i ens. Naturally, the South Fide was used to capacity, xiie elementary grades met in the Lutheran Farish Hall, the Fresbyterian Church, and the City Library. The (Kindergarten !? U8eddn the Atlas Btate Bank building. The seventh and eighth grades were located in the Methodist Church, and the high school in the Christian Church. Alter the housing problem was solved, there remained an e en more potent problem—that cf constructing a new school house. Many difficulties were met in raising money for the +vV’ aa:i ldln But by strenuous effort it was possible for the A-iumni Association to raise a large sum which, combined with insurance and three issues of bends, made the money available for constructing and furnishing the building. The board cl education consulted many authorities and traveled -lar+ tl ?S?ect sohools that the Union City school might be nest ;itted to our needs. Cur present school is the result oi careful research. Today we have but two reminders f the old building the bell mounted in front of the school and a stone tablet over the Walnut Street entrance. The tablet is in the shape cf an op n bock and on the pages are the Latin words Quails Gchola Tails Civis -as tr.e school so the oltizen. The image of the book has been placed on the school seal which appears on the certificates of recognition and vario-us objects produced in the school or made specifically for the school's use. These two tangible objects from that former school are held in deep respect by the Union City high school students today. They stand for education, achievement, endeavor, and success. May we of today and those who follow live up to these standards as have those who preceded us Education is one of the most important phases cf oUr JVfiS' ea f-nd women have do voted the.tr time and effort to ' 1935 i V[ • i •;!i t; | 3UCCC5SUS research and study that the people in the mcdern schools mifcht receive the best available education. And the Union City ic.hool has never been behind in offering to its students the best in the way of instructors and scholastic rating. Thus three hundred years of Secondary Education have proved that Pcgnitic Non Ferit (Learning ices Not Perish), the mottc of the Boston Latin School, is as applicable today as when that school was founded. Much credit is .also due to the students who have followed our school motto, just do your best)’ to become the best cf whatever they are. r If you can't be a pine cn the top of the hill Be a scrub in the valley—but be The best little scrub by the side of the rill; Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass, And some highway some happier make; If you can't be a muskie then Just be a bass— I But the liveliest bass in the lake .' I We can't all be captains, we've got tc be crew, There's something for all cf us here. There's big work t-o do and there's lesser to do. And the task we must do is the near. If you can't be a highway then Juct be a trail, If you oan't be the sun be a star; j. It isn't by size that you win or fail— Be the best of whatever you are —pouglas Mailoch I j ..

Beaty, treasurer. On August first of last year Mr. G. G. Barr retired from the board. His'retirement was sincerely regretted by those closely connected with the schools, for Mr. Bapr was conscientious and fair in his dealings as president-of the' ■bo ir-d--Besides this he was a true friend of the schools, anxious at all times to further those educational policies which tend to promote an efficient and progressive institution. Dr. Beaty has served for three years as treasurer of the school city, and in that time- has been careful and exacting in his duties. State examiners have commended him for the accuracy and appearance of the books of the school city. His previous experience as a teacher has been helpful in boa.ra discussions. Mr. Grimes has taken an unusual interest in his work as secretary of the board. He has been particularly helpful in certain matters relating to the reduction of insurance rates and other fiscal details, such as the budget. He has rendered valuable service as a member of the Randolph County Board of Tax Adjustment. Mrs. Fitzgerald is the first mother to hold a position on our board cf education. She has made a capable and impartial presiding officer. True to the predictions made for her, she has brought into board discussions the viewpoint of a mother in a way that has been particularly helpful. Her previous service as president of the Mothers' Club has been espeoirlly valuable in forming contacts with the mothers of the community. Harlie Garver, superintendent of schools. Mr. Ga.rver attended both Ft. Wayne Central and Union City High Schools for three and one-half years, but due to being a mid-year student went directly to Hiram College where his secondary work was completed in Hiram Academy. He received the B.S. degree from Hiram and the M.A. degree from Columbia University. He also did graduate work at Carnegie Institute of Technology. At Hiram he was editor-in-chief of both the college newspaper and the monthly magazine, and san0 in the glee club two years. Columbia University granted him the diploma as superintendent of schools, a reward for his high scholastic record even though he had not at that time acquired the necessary experience as superintendent. Previous tc his work here he taught in Homestea„d, Pennsylvania, and in Ha-stings, Nebraska. 19 35 5UCC-C5SUS -----------------r-------- In 1920 he became principal of the local high school and in 1927 superintendent of schools. Mr. G-arver served two terms on the Legislative Body of the Indiana High School Athletic Association. He is a member of the Indiana Schoolmen’s Club and of the Indiana City and Town Superintendents' Association. He has attended the meetings of the National Department of Superintendence continuously since 1928. He is the author of many articles on school and technical subjects in several magazines of national circulation. At this time he is president of the Randolph County Association of Christian Churches, vice-president of the Rotary Club, special program committee member of the Elk's Lod0e, chaplain of the Masonic Lodge, elder in the Christian Church, secretary of the Union City Chamber of Commerce, and member of the Randolph County Board of Children's Guardians. •ft LEADERS. We cannot at once improve our schools in general. More money alone will not do it, much as money is needed. To a large degree that improvement must come by individual schools in individual communities, and generally the improvement will come because a fev leaders make it their business to see that their communities have great schools. HOW. Suppose that in some community or intelligent man-or woman should decide that the best use he or she can make of spare time for the next twenty or thirty ye rs is to work for and with the public schools. Suppose, too, such a person realizes that the heart of a school system is the men and women who teach and administer. TEACHERS. Through a parents' and teachers' association or through other channels the public must be made to realize the difference between carelessness and slovenliness in education on the one hand, and thoroughgoing sincerity on the other. Illustrations and cases must bo constantly provided, beccause people can understand cases better than theories. A constant search should be made for teachers of exceptional I intelligence, sincerity, thoroughness and interest in their work. When a good teacher is found, brin , him or her into the community life. Increase the number of men teachers with families, who can make careers out of their work. Try to find the occasional man � f energy, intelligence and vigor whc sees education as the greatest possible c.areer, as the I key to the future. FRCM COMMON PEOPLE. It will be Staid tlv t I have pictured an impossible task—that no community wants such leader-ship, or will accept it. It is a difficult task, 'cut the schools will reflect the public, and except ns that job is ; done, our fine plans to improve our schools may net mount j to much. —The above quotation from the U.C. text in Guidrnee, the chapter by Arthur Morgan, Chairman, Tennessee Valley Authority. _ _________ -----3==: 1 9 3 5 ■ ' ■■-==-== :: x x x :: :: :c :: :: :: :: :: :: ;; - j:'« :: a xxxxx XX'X'X « « XX X XX X X X x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x :: TEACHING STAFF Front row: Thelma Chittick, Myrtle Roush, Marian Bunger, Chas.

We have been organized officially for the first time in our history, and that is just as we like it. This class of 1936 hs„s thirty-three members, but they are by no means insignificant in the eyes of the hi0h school. Buckingham, Flory, Jacobs, Porter, and Svreeney are all members of the basketball and baseball teams; Robert Stebleton also plays baseball. We a.re also represented in the orchestra, glee club, and band. Betty Booth Fitzgerald, Virginia Sowers, Richard Flory, Robert Stebleton, Anne Throo, and Stuart Riffle, are Junior representatives on the Student Council. Various have been the ways and means pursued by the Juniors to make money for the auspicious social event of the school year—the Junior-Senior Reception. We have sold wreaths, ties, tickets, and pies in order to build a financial foundation equal to a reception. This year we have enjoyed, none the less, other pleasant parties—Hollywood Party, the mothers' club Party, and our own Washington's Birthday Party. Class colors: Royal blue and Platinum. The activity of the Sophomore Class has disproved the saying, Much Ado About Nothing . Eaerson Porter, Paul Wigger, Glen Dillon, Alan Crtlip, Paul Leatheruan, and James Wickershan were basketball candidates, the latter throe being selected cn the tournament squad; all of then, with the exception of Alan Ortlip, played baseball. Mary Alice Boggs, Betty Brovm, June Hart, Elsie Davis, Jean Parent, Betty Jean Price and Anna Ruth Romeiser played on the high school softball team. Adabelle Mangas v on second and George Kill, Jr. , fourth place, in Division II of the county Latin contest. By winning second in the county contest, Adabelle Mangas entered the district meet held at i.iuncie, where she placed fifth. James Wickershan, Victoria Barth, Rosemary Harrison, Janes Thokey, George Hill, Jr., and Adabelle Mangas were members of the student council. The Sophomore members of the county band were Victoria Barth, Rosemary Harrison, George Hill, Jr., end Anna Ruth Romeiser. The chief social activity of the year was a class party at New Year's time in the Lutheran Parish Hall. In retrospection of this year, it has been a busy one but a happy one,living up to the school motto, Just do your best . a :: :: n « ;; j: jc :: :: :: « ” :: it :: x :: :: H :: :: :: :: ;; jf« :: :: :: k,h tf.K x :: x X :::: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :i jc gxx X.X.;X.XX.XX x :: :: :: :: :: :: :: X-X X g CLASS OF 1937 Front row: Louis Vernon, Nelson Frazier, Alan Ortlip, Betty Brown, Martha Creviston, Mary Alice Boggs, Dale Hammons, Glenn Dillon.

A class as large as curs ought to h ve much talent, and as our class is no exception, it has already proved very promising. Bob Chrttin, James Cotter, Bob Ely, Kenneth Borland. Paul Price, Bob Hilderbrand, and Elden Lindley. represented tne class in basketba.il this season, while Betty Jean Shierl-ing, Wendell Riffle, and Bob Chattin were elected to the Student Council, ©n recognition day Betty Jean Shierlin0 end Betty Brandon were commended for their oartlclDation in recent Latin contests. One of the most humiliating happenings of the' Freshman olc.ss w-..s tiie initiation at one of the Social Hours, when we were made to sit on green kindergarten chairs with green nair riboons tied around our hea.ds while the rest of the high school laughed and marched around us. After some time we were allowed to remove the green hair ribbons and were orenounce d full-fledged high school members. Cur Ahristiaas party was held at the home of Ruth Ann Weaver, where we all had a most enjoyable tine. We hope that v hen this school year is over, we may be able to throw off our title, A Comedy of Errors. The Junior High School, as organized under the six-six plan, is under the prin ipalship of !.Ir McCullough. However, Mr. Butcher, who is a new-comer to Union -ity, is directly in charge and also teaches arithmetic, physical education, and Indiana history. Other Junior High School teachers and their teaching subjects are Mr. Cole, history, geography, and physical education; Miss Carter, English; Miss Mangel, home economics, English, and physical education; Mr. Frazier, industrial arts; and Mr. Hastings, general science. Due to the fact that there were no raid-ye?. r promotions into Junior High School, the total enrollment for the first semester was quite large, 112 in all, but dropped to 92 the second semester. In addition to sports, class programs, and high school assemblies, there heve been a number of class parties, and near the end of the year a camp supper for the entire Junior High School. Such activities help to make a well-balanced program of work and play. x x x x x X x x x x x x x x x x x x x x'x x x x - ' x x x x « « XXX x xxx x x x x x x x x x x xx x x x x x x x :: x x x x x x x x X CLASS OF 1939 Front row: Ford Ellis, Robert Pollic, John Pontius, John Fisher, Paul Smith.

DEPARTMENT? CLASS-RCOi.i ACTIVITIES Secondary Education in our school embodies the Seven Cardinal Principles as stated by the National Education Association in 1918. These principles consist of seven objectives: (l)health, (2)ooi.ir.iand of fundamental processes, (3)worthy home-membership, (4)vocation, (5)civic education, (6)worthy use of leisure, and; (7)ethical character. Of course, our school has greatly exceeded the exacting, limits of these seven principles, but there are still outstanding evidences of them. Our school offers many oppertunities for its students through its generous program of study. ENGLISH ENGLISH: The English Department burin. 1934-35 has offered the state required courses in composition and literature for ninth, tenth, and eleventh years, and three elective courses for twelfth yea.r— Business English, English Literature,and American Literature arid Creative Writing. New and well-edited adoptions for the literature courses in English 2, English 7, and. English 8 have proved successful in their initial use, not only because they have offered extensive beginnings in reading of various types and in contciaporary literature as well, but also because they have pointed the vr.y to further readings when students have been especially interested, more than 1000 additional reports on readings—often informally given—have been handled durin , the year. In the composition courses, students have written frequently and often daily on subjects that called for diversified types—from experiments in poetry and other forms of creative writing to the simple explanation and long scientific theme, and from telegrams to all kinds of business correspondence. Grammar training has included diagnostic and achievement tests and remedial exercises, often developed at individual need and speed. Opportunity for fluent and correct speech has been offered in the talks, reports, group discussions, and conversational recitations. Individual students have found ways for further training by participation in the national bread contest, by takin0 part in such a research problem as the senior study of literary centers in America, and by developing library skills through- the study of methods in class and through the student v'ork in the school library and the visits to the city library. Both the weekly quarter-sheet, West Side Hi, k. News, edited by sophomore students, end the present number of the school annual have been supervised from the composition side by the English department. 19 5UCC-C 5 SU5 TUPLIC . PEAKING: The rublic Spc; kin.., Course includes every unit generally found in Fublio Speaking text books, namely speeches for every occasion, discussions, orations, story telling, pantomime, and dramatics. The class of twenty-six Senior enjoyed each unit very much. At Thanksgiving, this department and the history department. sponsored A Puritan Style Show a pageant v'.nich at the request of the Chamber of Commerce was repeated at Jackson, Ohio, January 19, for the County Farm Institute In February a formal Patriotic Banquet was Oivon honoring Washington and Lincoln. In April three programs featuring one-r-.ct plays were presented. The girls gave The Alien liete for the Mothers' Club. The boys entertained the Rotary Club with Dress Reversal . On April 30 these two ploys, with several excellent specialties were given f°r -ae entire public and were well received. During the year the class nas h u an opportunity to hea.r some excellent speeches given ny Glen:. Hindsley, Oliver Auckerraan, James Patchell, Ernest Dunn, Treva Mangas, and Don C. Ward. One year of Public Speaking is offered in our school. SOCIAL STUDIES GUIDANCE: This year the course in guidance was made a general study because of the present unreliability of material on vocational information. A new text, Social Studies, edited by William McAndrew, was used as a basis for the course. The work centered around the adjustment of the high school pupil to his school, home, community, and nation. HISTORY; The history department includes a study of World History and American History that is made interesting by the use of the reference library, charts, lectures, and visual education. American government, which is essential to the student’s knowledge of public problems, makes him a worthier member of society. In this course three seniors Edwin Ginn, Marga Mary Glunt, and Ruth Gordon Glunt—wrote on the Industrial History of Union City amid received prizes. AFRICAN GOVERNMENT: This year the government class enjoyed both county and state civics trips. The first include' a visit to many county and st te institutions in Ohio and Indian; while the second was a trip to the Indian Legislature on February 15. Sixty-five juniors and seniors enjoyed this latter trio .that was inaugurated in 1915 when the 1; te Clare no Pierce was in the Legislature. .me J t l 1 _A O _ I ,r-.c 19 3 5 3UCC-C 5 SUS I. AHERIlAi'? PROBLEi.IS: The course in Ameriofui Problems is given to the seniors in their second seaester. It is a combi nation of elementary econonics and sociology. The purpose is to develop a better underst.- nding of some of the fundamental economic lavs and hov.' they apply in commerce nd industry and keener appreciation of some of the problems of society. Both the text book and laboratory methods are used in the class yo FOREIGN LANGUAGE LATIN: The foreign language department in our school is given to the study of Latin. Work for fobr full years is offered. This consists of j be0inning Latin, second year Latin, Cicer|f:, and Virgil. One might divide the course J into regular work and by-products. In th$ first year and a. half, the fundamentals of a highly inflected language a.re studied. Here you will find declensions, conjugations, vocabulary, translations, with a growing interest in literature end histo In Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil, students use these fundamentals in developing an interest in ancient literatures and former civilizations. Here you have the bare outline of work for four years. What makes it vita.l and beau .ful? Each day students bring in derivations .and histories of words, such as manufacture and oounterfeit. Art, travel, and outside roa ling—each contribute ! its share. The state Latin contest creates an interest such as the state basketbo.il tour uont. This year Adabelle I.iangas won fifth in c group of cib:-in a district contest. Ghe has the honor of bcln0 the cnly student from this school this year to enter a contest outside the county. Sometimes slides and club work, songs - rid jckos help to enliven the course. Correl?tion with other courses i made through reports from these other cLasses and by direct references by other teachers and by the Latin teacher. At th end of four years the student may have four units that will serve as admission in any college and besides he has an en- I larged and enriched vocabulary, a taste and respect for transh la.tion, an intimate view of the lives of several Roman writerp , and a working knowledge of another language besides his own LlATHEi.IAT ICG ji me I ALC-EPRA: LET THE B OY = X Algebra is offered one and a half years althcu students arc required to take but one yea for graduation requirements. GEOmETRY: Geometry is generally con sidered to be one of the best subjects fo: mental training. Besides this, it I'urnis' s the basis upon which most of our hitdiei 1935 ==•=3 = ' SUCC-CS SUS mathematics is founded. The practical phases ef geometry as applied to everyday life are particularly emphasized in this course. SCIENCE BIOLOGY: Biology, which is alternated each year with bot- any, was offered this year. The pupils are expected not only to grasp the text-book facts, but also to increase their interest in and acquaintance with both plants and animals. The textbook work is supplemented by laboratory work, field trips, and special reports. Botany will be offered next year. PHYSIOS: The physios course is exceptionally well suited to give tne pupil a feeling for universa.l natural I1 Law. This, therefore, has been stressed along with the aca-• ler.de, course. The laboratory of the physios room has oeen equipped with the definite add of correlating that type o1 .vork with the text book nrterial. ,HEI'-ISTRY: Chemistry, which was dropped from the schedule jlue to a decreased budget, has again been offered this year. 'Although it has been proved in the pa.st that it is advisable ijjbo make chemistry a foundation for further scientiiio researcn An academic fields, attention in this course has been paid |!especially to the use of the fundamental laws in everyday i life. The laboratory equipment is such that the student has jthe opportunity of actually applying the textbook material j;in hi3 everyday life activity. HEALTH the and !'a.nd HEALTH EDUCATION: Health Education is required by the state department. It is a one semester course, which combined with physical education completes the health' unit. The aims cf health education may be briefly stated as follows: 1. To instruct pupils so that they may conserve and impreve their own health. 2. To establish habits and principles of living which will carry over into .adult life and provide vigor and vitality so necos- ..... sary for greatest happiness and service. 3. To influence parents and adults in field of health education. 4. To improve the individual community life of the future. In this course textbooks laboratory methods are used. 53 = — S'JCC-CSSUS ........== PRACTICAL ARTS t Cm. .aRCmAL DEPARTmEKT : The commercial deportment ;i...s to give vooation-1 training to those vfhc intend to engage in n business pursuit end to acquaint the students with the everyday customs and practices th' t every citizen is expected to know. Many students take cou� .iercirl arithmetic, bookkeeping, shorthand, or typewriting, which are all included in this course. FOOD AND CLOTHING: Foods and cloth- ing, are taught for one ye r in high school and one year in the eighth grade. In the first semester high school home economics students studied foods. During their course, they studied food preservation, canned fruit and vegetables and unde jelly) learned the classification of foods, They studied and prepared vegetables, soups, salads, and salad dressings, quick breads, pastries, cakes, frostings, and candies; they planned well-balanced luncheon and dinner menus, then prcparin0 and servin, each. The two main projects of the sem.ester were preparing and serving a regular weekly Rotary luncheon, and a te.a for the faculty. The second semester work has been in clothing. In the clothing work they studied costume design, patterns and pattern altercations, textiles, social relations, and construction work. They have cut out and constructed a princess slip cand a school or sport dress. INDUSTRIAL ARTS: One of the greatest problems of the Indus trim arts department is to discoura0e the use of the old term Mmanual training as applied to this shop work. The old type of work has practically gone out of existence. Some of the general aims of the industri-1 arts course are (a) to instill an appreciation of the better typos, designs, construction, finishes rnd materials of furniture by first-hand experience; (b) to tr'iin the head and the hand, to some extent, in the technical ways of the industries; (o) to pro...etc an interest ■ nd understanding of the beauties, wonders and need for conservation of cur growing forests; (3) to give some training in household mechanics for use of the handy-man about the ho;.:e In other words, the course aims to round out rnd creation the student's gener- 1 knowledge in ways the more academic subjects entirely miss. Girls were d...itted to shop classes the second semester and they have scored a big success.

They also were uciabers of the County band which -was composed of all the high school bands in the county. Cn Hay 3 r big final concert was Given in the auditorium for the purpose of p-yinc the b- h ance of the amount due on the uniforms and for the buying of new instruments. There have also been m ny other programs and concerts in which the band has taken part. . ORCHESTRA AND GLEE CLUBS: The orchestra took part in several programs in the high school auditorium, as also did the lee clubs. Throu-Jiout the year there were several programs in which the band, the lee clubs, and the orchestra all took part. On May 6 the .lee club and the band went to Huncie to join in the musical festival ■ t Ball State Colle0e. On Hay lr the orchestra and the lee clubs joined in presenting Music-1 Moments , a. musical program. The orchestra also played in the county orchestra at Winchester. ART: Art is i ven in some of the elementary , r,-des. junior hi h school, • nd high school. The element ry ,_ra.des have varied types of work such as: pencil, crayon, water color and a simple project of crayon ba.tik. The junior hi h school has work in water color, pencil, and some crafts such as: crayon batik, wood carving, bead bags, a. small amount of leather tooling and lacing. The hi0h school art has consisted of pencil sketching, painting, designing, posters, and crafts of various kinds as the following: leather tooling and lac in, , blockprintin, , ba.tik, basketry, glorified gl- sc, c-i- yon batik, and pottu ry. ---------1 i i r PROGRAMS -assemblies The students all look forward to the prr0rr...,s, assemblies, pr.rties, r.nd other activities of the school, many new plans were carried out this ye. r and many successful old plans were continued. RELIGIOUS: Some of the newest md most worth-while Vis seme lies were the religion ones. At different times throughout the year the v-.rious ministers delivered messages on modern day problems. In thi -way the more serious ;aid essential part concerning the moral habits of the student was emphasized. Those sermons or talks were given in an. understandable way by local and visiting ministers. = SUCCCSSUS I I I I ; THE STUDENT COUNCIL; This is net a new organization, but it is certainly an active one. It is chosen by the election of the students from an approved li st for thq purpose of helping carry on extra-curricular activities in the school. This year three committees were appointed to take charge i of the social activities, the assemblies, and the annual. The! officers and the corn..iittee chairmen for this year were: I; Elizabeth Barth Richard Murphy Adabelle Mangas Marge. Mary Glunt Clement Romeiser Ruth Glunt Chairman Vice Chairman Secretary ,! Chairman, Social Committee Chairman, Program Committee Chairman, Annual Committee PEP SESSIONS: One of the best liked j’; assemblies is the oep session where all' , of the students join together in songs jj and yells and a song or two to quite ijj exciting and demonstrative programs. One of the most novel of these was held in tne gymnasium.j j j The band, newly arrayed in red and white capes and caps, marc a j- j ed in by their music and formed the letters U. C. It was quitilm a spectacular sight. Another program that was both funny and appropri. te was ||j held just before an outstanding game. The Spirit of Cpposi- |;j tion came on the stage in fine spirits, all ready to bea.t ]!{ U. C. But then, the scene changed and we savr the picture sj| after the game. The oppesite side carrying a lily was wheeled, ! across the stage in a wagon. TChat a defeat for them J Everyone enjoyed these end the other enthusiastic pep sessions that, j helped promote a fine school spirit. SOCIAL HOURS: It was decided that our ] j} schoel really needed more social activit-;. ties, so the social hours were started. J if As most of the-ether schccl social func -'j tions and ether outside social activi-ties called for a knowledge of dancing,!’j the main feature of these hours was | dancing. Persons from the city and £ students furnished the r.iusic. There wjs also ping pong and other games that anyone might choose. ?. At one of these social hours the Freshmen ’ ere initiated.! j -$ucc-essus They had to sit on kindergarten chairs in the middle of the floor and wear green hair ribbons while everybody marched a-round then to the accompaniment of music. The students enjoyed these hours end it is hoped that they v ill be continued next year. THE CHRISTMAS PARTY: The Christmas pprtjj'j was held on Tuesday, December 20th, in |J the High School Gym fer the high school I pupils. It was sponsored by the Mothers'! Club. There was a choice of dancing, playing bingo, and taking port in other r| games. Since it w s a Christmas party, j.| Mrs. Morris told us a beautiful story. H ill After two hours of amusements ending with unusual refreshments, the party broke up with much appreciation of the effort? ef the Mothers' Club in rn.ak.lng the affair a success. THE HOLLYWOOD PARTY; Cn March 28th the high school entertained at a. Hollywood Party. Amon , the guests were the Marx brothers, Marlene Dietrich, Pcpeye, and many, many ether stars. Oh yes, there were also three distinguished radio stars in person—Clara, Lu, and Em. The impersonators entertained with a program of clever acts and features. After .11 the celebrities had been judged, the guests played bingo, danced, and were served delightful refreshments. Everyone had a most enjoyable evening. THE WEST SIDE HIGH NEWS: The first issue of the West Side News appeared in the Gazette. October 30, 19?A. This was another milestone in the history of our school—it marked the first ti...e the Union City High School ever had a weekly school news section. The paper, which from the start lias had a purely constructive policy, has featured articles concerning departmental objectives, teachers' biographies, and the National Tercentenary celebration. Much credit is due George Hill, Jr., who worked cut the original plan and who has acted as editor-in-chief. He has been ably supported by Dale Hammons, sports editor; Juno Hart, class editor; and Adabelle Mangas, feature editor. It is hoped that this student publication will continue during the coming school year. 19 35 3UCC-C5SU5 HEART'S-EASE Jeannie S.

MOTHERS CLUB album The Mothers' Club has made outstanding, progress this year. Not only have the members carried cn their usual worthy projects, but they have tried many new plans, all of which have been highly successful. This year the high school mothers were included in the membership of the club. Two mothers for each class were appointed class councilors according to the plan that was begun last year. They assisted in the social activities of the school. The club also made possible the financing and making of uniforms for the school band. Several of the mothers' gave their own time and effort in the furtherance of this worthy project. Surely it has proved time and money well spent because of the many programs and games in which the bond has made a striking appearance. At the close of the year they donated money for an oboe, an instrument that will be used in the band. Another kind of good work of the Mothers' Club was the starting of an Employment Bureau and the new plan for the Thrift Shop. The Employment Bureau was begun in order that any girl who wished to work in her spare time might do so. Girls wishing such employment submitted their names and qualifications to the club. The Thrift Shop was carried on this year through the various teachers who distributed clothes to families where they were needed. At a recent meeting it was decided that a $50 scholarship will be presented to some senior who with this additional help will be able to go to college next year. We must not forget an outstanding activity of the Mothers' Club—the distribution of milk to the undernourished children in school. Money was made for this purpose by several different plans. The newest and most successful plan was 1 Tag Lay . The club greatly appreciated the fine spirit of cooperation and the contributions of school patrons and friends. Of course, much was realized from the annual chili supper of November 27, and from the card party of April 23. i| The milk fund was increased by the amount of $255.32. The club is also interested in the furtherance of social activities in the school. On December 20, they entertained the Junior and Senior high schools with a Christmas party held in the gymnasium. The party was conducted on the plan of a fair vrith tickets issued to the various shows. The rest of the evening was occupied with dancing, a Christmas story, paid refreshments. The following day, December 21, a party was given for the lower six grades. There have been several worthwhile programs at the meetings. Two of the outstanding of these were a talk on Health ! by Dr. Thurman Rice of the Indiana University School of Medicine and a discussion Progressive Education by Dr. Earl Johnson, principal of the Burris Experimental School in Hun-I cie. A program in which pupils from various grades gave current events and a play presented by the Public Speaking Class were also interesting contributions to the meetings.

No doubt the question never appears directly, but who actually has tried to penetrate the meaning or what it stands for? To one who might be interested, the organization made up of graduates of this high school, and commonly called the Alumni Association, is the one common link, connecting our uneventful, everyday lives with the activities of the school that we love, and also calling to our minds, the happy carefree school days that now seem childish, but ever cheerful. This organization especially has accomplished many things. It has lived for many years, and continues to grow through the support of its loyal members and officers. Interest is again being revived among its members, which is an apparent indication of better understanding of its efforts. One of its big activities and one of which it is indeed proud is its annual banquet, tendered to the incoming class and its members. This event has always been considered a real part of the school's closing program and always climaxes the big week of festivities. succ-e s s us There is always the best relationship between the association and the school proper. The two work hand in hand, thus proving that cooperation produces the friendliest attitudes. Every graduate can feel proud to be part of it. It is cne of the most active organizations of its kind in this section of the country, and can boast of good assetts. May it be said that there are evidences still available, giving this organization's capabilities. It has lived and it shall continue to live. The Alumni Association of the Union City High School extends to the Senior Class best wishes for success in its efforts to produce a worth while annual fer the school as one of its last accomplishments. —James Young, President of Alumni Ass'n.
