Campus, church and trade press, as a class

NAMED AS A CLASS, WITH WHAT EACH MEMBER SETTLED

What it is: the checklist asks for this class named, because in a build like this one the settling document is as often a house organ as a newspaper. The members, with their work. The campus press: the New Prairie school corporation's own publications and yearbooks — the New Carlisle High School yearbook, the Olive Branch, whose 1955 volume stands digitized on the Internet Archive (item 1955_20221122), a school annual doing duty as a town record of faces, teams and advertisers; and the scholarship-adjacent campus record of the Colfax articles below. The church press and church archives: the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana's archives project, which carries St. Mary's Episcopal Church, New Carlisle, at document strength — a mission of 1885, a charter congregation of the Diocese of Michigan City in 1898, its building moved by rail to East Chicago in 1915, and its parish register of 1885–1904 extant: a congregation that left the town leaving its register behind in the record, which is exactly the kind of survival this class exists to catch; the town's Methodist and Christian church courses stand in Chapman and Howard at narrative strength (the first Methodist class in town formed 1853, the building raised 1858; the Christian Church organized March 29, 1868 in the chapel hall of the Collegiate Institute, its building dedicated March 13, 1870). The trade and enthusiast press: Electric Railways of Indiana (Central Electric Railfans' Association, 1960) and Cynthia Ogorek's Along the Chicago South Shore & South Bend Rail Line (Arcadia, 2012), the rail literature that carries the New Carlisle South Shore station — opened about 1908, closed July 5, 1994 — at the strength the railfan record keeps its stations; and the farm press, Edible Michiana's 2015 account, which is this build's carrier for a passage of Watt & Wade (the Marvel evening school) at one remove. House organs praise their own; the build uses them for registers, dates, rosters and photographs — the facts institutions keep about themselves carefully — and not for judgment.

Principal sources: as above, each cited at its place; the diocesan archives project (University of Southern California Scalar), Chapman (1880) and Howard (1907) for the church courses, all read first-hand or as stated.
