With astronomy as its theme the Spectrum offers a spectacular collection of pictures and events in the orbit of this class of '41. The cartoons used to carry out the lofty theme may seem frivolous, but they reflect the Staff's earnest endeavors. They have drawn up- on their imagination and ability to carry them over a bridge of stars into the Milky Way of Success. DEDICATION We consider it a privilege to dedicate this volume of the Spectrum to Miss Marjorie French, sponsor for the Senior Class of 1941. Her willingness to cooperate with the Seniors has been only one of many displays of good sportsmanship. Not only has she led her students into the wide fields of history, civics, and sociology in order to broaden their sense of reasoning, but also into the even wider field of problems dealing with social relationships. Hers has always been an understanding and genial nature which will indeed be missed by each graduating Senior. EARL L. WOOD Superintendent VICTOR M. EVANS FRED H. DISQUE CLYDE A.

J V. 51-1 fresh- PATRICIA POPPLEWELL Pretty, sweet, delightful, and kind, Simple in heart but not in mind. How I wish I could be like you- Yet, you see, I was young once, too! EARL BASSETT We call him Cassanova, Although his name is Early For every time we see him He is with a girl. GENEVIEVE SHRACK She always wears a smile- She's such a happy worker, We love to go to Bailey's To watch their soda-jerker. FRED FIELDS Our Alexandria atmosphere Is of a different mein- It doesn't take the springtime To turn our Fields green. BEVERLY WEAVER Once pierced by Cupid's dart, Her love still lingers ong Though others seek her heart, Her love is all for Braun. MERRIL SHAW He keeps his friends busy, Ohing and Ahing, Because of his skill In cartoon drawing. JOAN CULLEN The consort of a king Is usually called a queeng When we call her Queen joan You'll all know what I mea DON FLANDERS Our Flanders is a desperate case- He's playing second fiddle, For Nellie and the H. and H. Have got him on the griddle. LOUISE JONES Her face would deceive Even the prudent- She's much too good-looking To be such a good student. 'RLVDW ll. V48 'WV I i G' 'WM A Q I M' OJQPWQSQ , Az .U.- klii v 'H I ' I lllli ' MELVIN FRAZIER Melvin toots a horn, But he's no one's dupeg His grades are good- His father's county supe. GRACE FOLEY Grace is her name And grace is her lifeg She's just the girl To keep us from strife. ART HOVER He fell in love- How hard he fell! His only love Is Annabelle. ROSE MARIE TUERFFS Soon we may apply the phrase Of Shakesperian fameg A rose may smell as sweet By any other name. THE 5Tf'f'?AKERse RX., fix .Q M' ROLAND PORTER If you're looking for a senior Whom everyone likes lots, You can find him hiding Behind the name of Watts. ESTHER CASTOR In the race of life- Some may he fasterg But, "slow but sure," That's Esther Castor. DICK Sl-IIRK This boy's noted For his many quirksg We'll forgive them, They're Dick Shirk's. SARA PAINTER Her mind is goodg her body sound Her hair is soft as silk, And this is all because She always drinks her milk. BOB FRAUNDORFER Elwood has nothing on us- Behold this local resident! Our class has this slogan, K'Fraundorfer for President." FREDA SWIFT Socrates was wise, But Freda is wiser: She knows all the answers- Her technique comes from Kyser. ROBERT ZEDEKAR Ain't it a shame about Zed! All his fat has gone to his head. He's really much too well fed: He should walk to Orestes instead. DOROTHY SMITH In sports and in studies Our Smith takes the leadg It's easy to label her "Most likely to succeed." VERN SULLIVAN Behold our former presidentg His was our local Fuehrer. "His strength is as the strength of ten, Because his heart is pure." BERNICE BELMORE 'Hurry," said the patient, "My condition is much worse. Please send for young Miss Belmore-- I need a pretty nurse" ANN HELLMERS Little Ann is hard to see Because of her position. Her motto, 'Do not tread on me," Is quite a requisition. f TED ERVIN Here's to Ted, our high school herog If the teachers rate him zero, He's still Rifey's pride and joy- Isn't he a bouncing boy? DOROTHY McCORD In typing she has made her mark, A star that's bright and shining. May all the clouds in her life Have a silver lining. WAYNE DELINGER What keeps you happy all the day? What keeps you on your feet? Is it love or youth or what?- It's just the way you eat. L ,, al '54 -' .05 oo Um 56? S096 Dedicaizecl' to ous-di-essmg I-Dorn 'lzeruor-S. HARRIET CUNNINGHAM Harriet is a pretty girl, As you all know. Her dazling eyes and happy smile Have won her many a beau. JACOB MADDOX Our Jacob has one longing- He thinks that he'll be lucky If he can leave the Hoosier state And return to old Kentucky. LUCILLE PERCIFUL She came back, like the swallows, To give the boys a thrill, V'e hope, for many a year, That she will be here still. WARREN GARNER Warren wants to be a country doctor, I-le's begun his course, He's learning how to milk a cow An how to drive a horse.

Well, who knows-he may make it By the time he's ninety-three L SHIRLEY it comes to dancing, really cuts a rugg glad that we have Ethel our class jitterbug. LESLIE CALDWELL Leslie would be a traveller And go as far as Bostong He'll circumvent the U.S.A. ln his little Banty-Austin. BASIL RETHERFORD His face is always longg He has a smile, we trust- He really ought to use it Before it goes to rust. MARTHA JANE WILSON Lady mine, most fair thou art, With youth's gold and white and red Though your mind with wisdom's heavy Do not let it turn your head. HAROLD WILSON If our struggle in life Is to raise ourselves higher Then just look at Harold, Whom we should admire. MARY HUNTER She is a girl of manner mild, Her temper never varies: We'd really like to give a hand For those sweet ways of Mary's. CHARLES PEERY Our Charles is an all-'round boy, For all these things are his: A mind thatis good for studies, And a very pleasant phiz. THELMA GUSTIN She's quite a model oliice girl, And quite the teacl1er's pet. Her work is always neatly done- They've found no better yet. EUGENE HANNAH Our Eugene is a model boy, You never see him with a fag. That's why he is so very bright In Chemistry and Ag. GRACE PATE Here's one who's quite a typistg Her name, we see, is Pate. She says she is successful because She doesn't procrastinate. HERMAN RASTETTER They call him "Dutch" Because he's German. He can take a joke- That's why we like Herman. 45 IPQDK cow' SPA THA T DlClC TOBEY No one knows this Tobey well, es closed up in his oys e she ut oysters too may hide a pear Tobey s not such a sullen chur BOYLE MARTHA DEAN The usual boil is a painful sore ich is very hard to endure, But Dean is an exceptiong We're very fond of her.

VICTOR SCHOTT RUSSELL MUEY He's not so very tall or big, lt isn't the weather that gets him down Though bright, l will agree. lt isn't his studies that make him frown, e's Schott But we all know when he's in that mood lt's merely that the girl is Rood. VlllGlNlA POPPLEWELL She's much too pretty to settle dovmg No humdrum life for her lot. ver can tell' Lots of fun, Though yet demuref But, of course, one ne She may, or again, she may not. Wh Another like her? N' WATCH THE ,donno Ano r'L Go THROUGH IT AGAIN. ONE OF QUR TEACHERS CLAUDE MlLLER nd all applaud We ask that each a worthy chairman'-little Claude debate, ur Famed in high school for Who can tell what is his fate? CLEO ELSWOR'I'l-I Her hair is blonde and curley, Her eyes express surpriseg You can tell hy their deep color Why she is called "Blue Eyes." BERNARD PRIESHOFF The aroma that surrounds him Would make a martyr gripe. We're not referring to B. O.: We merely mean his pipe. x I I Lffl 1 f lm ,ui I MAXINE KILGORE How queer this girl Who now takes the Hoorg She not only studies, But even asks for more. JOHN scoT'r Why, even if our Scotty Were dead and almost buried, He'd get up and tell the bearers How he should be carried. GLENDA NELSON A voice so soft and quiet, And manner so demure- A very pleasant future I'm sure these will procure. HARRY ELLIS When searchin for a charmer g Who's always bright and merry, You needn't look much further Than that ever-joking Harry. MARY MOHLER If you're looking for a typist Who's really very fastg Well, here is Mary Mohler, Who cannot he surpassed. ROBERT PIERCE You never could tell, By that attitude fierce, That all his friends call him . . Guess what?-Porky Pierce. MAE HOWERTON By her sweet and merry ways, She breaks the fall of many a bump. She's jolly all the live long day, And really most pleasingly plump. To Our Band lVXQ.rnbe1-S 'V S 1-- Means S HX r!! F W CLAYTON JARRETT His hair is Eery red, With a nose to match it, toog But then for pleasing contrast, His eyes are baby blue. ELLEN FERGUSON When you Come to her with troubles, Your hopes she never douses. That's why she's liked so very well Up at Rothinghouses'. ARMAND REEVES As our local Don juan Doesn't'he make his mark? Perhaps his last name is Gable, And his first name is Clark. DONNA PARISH In typing or in sewing, Her work may be but fairish But when it comes to social life, Look out for Donna Parish. A fldavj aa. that had -Co bd S fi VIRGINIA YORK What we like about Virginia Is the cheerful way she'll say, As she stands before the classes, "Here is the menu for today." HERMAN BEARDSLEY The Senator, we surely hope, Will travel wide and farg But this we fear he'll never do, Unless he gets another car. BETTE ROOD "Oh johnny may be out of date But not for Bette: Roodg The words that it Contains just suit her present mood. DALLAS LUDLOW Our Dallas can Both fry and bake. In Home Ec. class, He takes the cake.

CLARA MONTGOMERY She may be just a little girl, But for herself she'll fend. We can explain it by the fact, She's from that tough North End. LEOTAS LONG The train was coming down the tracks It would not stay for Long -g He jumped out of his faithful truck Before he got the gong. MARY MONTGOMERY There'll be those who will love her And those who will slam her. What keeps them all going? It must be her glamor. BILL BLAKE He likes the women and Farming, too, it appears. We'd like to suggest He combine those careers FRED INGLIS He's pretty good at raising crops, In more than just one place: He's got one out on the farm And one upon his face. BETTY JO MILLSPAUGH A priceless gem, a lovely pearl, Although a simple country girlg Our Betty Jo is not romantic- Marriage for her would be Morganatic. BYRON MORGAN Once there was in days of old A pirate of this name. We hope our Senior treasurer Will not win that kind of fame. ROSEMARY MCCORD Her hair is red, And her heart is gold Our own school colors She'll always hold. NWC' ' The, 75-achal' Miha. diclnff allcvo H1 -f HOME WORK AA JO DONAHUE These poems were written By fools like meg Read and bear witness What fools we be. VIRGINIA KIRBY A military wedding would Be so very niceg Wc'd like to be there And throw the rice. ROSAMUND FULLER She may seem quiet, But she's not asleepg Remember the proverb KENNETH BAKER He says he's no relation To the singer of this name, He's content with country life And Orestes for his aim. ALBERTA ETCHISON What a pity that Alberta Wasn't born a boy. With her skill in basketball, She'd have been Rife's joy. JIM QUINN He mopes around disconsolzte, With a long and gloomy face. Can any irl console him ' 5 It's still waters that run deep. And take his EveIyn's place? TREVA JONES She's a very good girl, And no one's fool. She learns her lessons At her Sunday School.

THREE HE N AND A cfm 5, S UM"-I THE BOSS fl I n BAND The first appearance of the marching band, which had been maneuvering for three weeks, was on June 5, 1940 at the Elk's State Parade held in Anderson. The band practiced maneuvering all summer and most of the fall, during which time they made money marching for various political rallies. They also played for the fall football games. On December 2, the band marched in Anderson and won seventy-five dollars, first prize. Forty-eight regular marchers and five twirlers make up the marching unit whose appearance has brought Commendation in every contest and parade in which it has participated. A concert was given the first week of December to a capacity,house at Cun- ningham School. An instrumentation of sixty was led by Claude Kusselman, who has directed the band for four years. During the last week in March, members of the band went to Bloomington to compete in the musical solo contest. Those stu- dents who participated and won first division honors were: Mary K. Lee, pianog Raymond Griffin and Richard Hall, cornetg Helen Sullivan, Lillian Orme, Betty K. Arnold, and Richard Reiss, flute quartet. All were recommended for the national contest. On Saturday, April 5, the band went to the annual contest at Conners- ville. They won first division honors in class E and the right to participate in the state contest. Early last year a glockenspeil was purchased with earnings from marching. and in January a set of tympani, rotary tune, was bought. The band hasn't a complete instrumentation, but expects to obtain additional equipment within the coming year. TENTH, ELEVENTH, AND TWELFTH GRADES GIRLS' GLEE CLUB There are two girls' choruses.

FRENCH CLUB LE CLUB FRANCAIS, sponsored by Emma Phillips, is scheduled for one meeting a month during the regular French class session. This year the organization has devoted its time to such club activities as French correspondence, dramatizations, singing and readings. According to the Cleveland plan, which has been in use for nearly two years, French was the only language spoken during the meetings. By this plan after four weeks of the prop- er instruction no English is spoken by the students or the instructor. New words are introduced gradually through dramatization. Students in the second year class are able to conduct a club meeting through the entire hour, without assistance from the instructor carrying on their parliamentary procedure in French as effectively as it could be done in English. If a student wishes to use new words he is able to make them clear to the class through dramatization and explaining in French. The officers are as follows: Patricia Popplewell, presidentg Sara Painter, secretary. GIRL RESERVES Slogan: To face life squarely. Purpose: To find and give the best. The Alexandria Girl Reserve Chapter, a part of the National organization of the Young Women's Christian Association, was organized in 1927 with no restric- tions as to membership. Through the years the Chapter has served to bring a unity of ideals to the young girls of this high school. A committee selected by the president arranges a program for meetings held on the second Tuesday of each month. Several prominent musicals were enjoyed this year. The value of the club lies in its contribution to self-expression and dis- cipline in the lives of each of its members. The officers are as follows: President, Betty Jo Millspaughg Vice-presi- dent, Dorothy Smith, Secretary, Phyllis Gosnellg Treasurer, Helen Shafer. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA F. F.

So, if you're going to consider him by that standard, Myrle Rife, boss of Alexandriafs Tigers, hasn't done so well. For the record of the kids from the Rock Wool City shows only four victories in 18 starts, which isn't, to speak in the most euphemistic terms, particularly auspicious. But, if you care to investigate the circumstances, you'll be tempted tonight, ,when you gaze over at the Alexandria bench in the North Walnut St. Field House, to stand up and give a cheer for the chunky guy who guides the Red and Yellow-clads. Myrtle Rife, who, long before this, acquired a reputation as doing more scouting of prospective foes than any other coach in the business, has been piloting a gymless team all year. The Tiger goalyard, an addition to which was started by the WPA last summer, wasn't completed in time for the season and consequently the entire schedule had to be revised. Alexandria has played every one of its games away from home. 5 On top of this, Rite had to build his team almost from the ground. The :fine Taylor-Smith combination that handed Muncie Burris two con- escutive Central Indiana Conference defeats, was lost by graduation and the second string of 1939-40 moved up to fill the breach. The first part of the season saw a constant succession of defeats, relieved only by a triumph over St. Mary's of Anderson. Now St. Mary's may not be so much either, but the record shows the Gaels whipping Lapel no longer ago than Wednesday night. High spot of the Alexandria campaign was a 33-to-31 conquest of Hagerstown. And up to that time, only Burris had beaten Rex Rudicel's lads. who had run off 12 straight wins. You might call him the Knute Rockne of Indiana high scnool basket- ball, for he introduced a novelty-that of substituting a Whole team at a time. Alexandria races with any of them-it may lose-but still it races. And occasionally five fresh players go well against worn-down competition. That could be quite a game tonight. Last year when the two teams met as reserve lineups, the Tigers finished on top, 26 to 18.
