English, bioloqy, algebra, physical education, health are required: and from band, industrial arts, home economics, aqriculture, and Latin one elective may be chosen. Among the honor students are Richard Reiss and Maxine Azimow, who won the American Leqion awards last year.

Next year s football team will be much better because many unfavorable factors have been changed. The squad will be larger and have more experience and reserve strength. Facilities for care of equipment dressing and first aid have been greatly improved Graduating seniors are: Lawson, Kean, DiRuzza, Sul- livan, Plackard, and Richard- son, each made an excellent showing at his respective po- sition. Returning lettermen are: Gipe, Rohn, Etchison, Ewell, Nacoff, Trice, lim Wil- son, R. Lewis-the nucleus of next year's team. Players who, although they clidn't make their letters last year, should see plenty of action next year are: I. Hughes, R. Jones, I. Riggs, R. Stelter, P. Lewis, lohn Wilson. O O O IL The administrative posts of Alexandria h s: ool system are ably filled by Mr. Wood, superintendent: Mr. Evans, senior high principal a d 5 n Mr. Disque, principal oi the junior high. The excellent co-operation and executive ability of these three account tor the ime provements recently accomplished and for the s h moot running programs oi the school sys- tern. Although this year has been filled with many extra activities such as completing th new building, sale of defense stamps t' e , irst aid classes, registration and distributing ot ration- ing cards, Mr. Wood has been able to t lc a e all these in his stride and still maintain an efficient school system. The students of senio e ee ing that their problems and conflicts in relation to school will be given the proper attention and consideration by either Mr. Eva or Mr. Disque at any time. r and junior high have th f 1 HS Jai- Under the guidance of Guy Foster, spon- sor, and Charles Millspaugh, president, the Hi-Y Club has completed another worthwhile and active year in Alexandria High School. A turkey rattle, several dances, the organization of a junior Hi-Y Club, and two chili suppers were among the activities that were carried on by this nation wide branch of the Y.M.C.A. Sev- eral members ancl their sponsor attended the annual Older Boys' Conference which was held in Kokomo. On November 3, lack Kepner, Wayne Allen, Edgar Anderson, and Eugene Lud- low received the Hi-Y formal initiation. Serving the twenty-five club members with the president and sponsor were Wen- dell Perguson, vice president: Pat Miller, secretaryg Harrel Lane, treasurer: and Roy Iones, sergeant at arms.

Running on the same schedule as senior high, they pass trom class to class through the day. Each class is divided into two groups. Spon- soring the seventh grade are Miss Hash, Mr. McDaniels and Mr. Spear: Miss Hull and Miss Brannon have charge of the eighth. .N .wf5.t,t .fl 'ff W ,', , -:ff -sl -' t fl .

A formal constitu- tion was drawn up, and officers were elected. In this home room they had a ping pong tourney. Richard Cartwright was the victor. To do their bit for the Red Cross the eighth grade girls knitted a small ambulance blanket. 15 Class activities are carried on during home room period. Committees appoint- L V .E , 4 1 ,A i p .

Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays were celebrated by appropriate programs. Mr. Spear's English class Wrote a great many plays, one of Which, their own version of Pino- chio, was presented in Senior High. Mary Reiss's performance of Pinochio, which she played from under the assembly desk, in that squeaky voice of hers, will not soon be forgotten. qv- leroy bradford . . imogene golden . . richard cartwright . . phyllis allen . .

The club is fashioned after the senior high club with purpose, pins and code the same. Meet- ings are held the first and third Tuesdays of each month. As part oi their recreation program ct Saint Patrick's Day party was enjoyed by the members in the home economics room. Likewise for the first time a Hi-Y club has been organized in junior high. lt includes twen- ty boys from the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. Mr. Spear is faculty advisor and Iohn Ma- lone was elected president, Da- vid Hauffman, vice-president.. The secretary-treasurer is james " 'W' Kane and the sergeant-at-arms, Sheldon Lindley.

Both are large and well lighted. A window and door between the rooms make it possible for one teacher to supervise two classes. Mr. Spore and Mr. Graham direct the commercial department. Salesmanship and con- sumer education are new commercial subjects taught by Mr. Foster. The beginning shorthand class, taught by Mr. Graham, had a writing contest with a party for the winners. Advanced typing students who have attained the highest speed are recognized by stars placed on the board to represent each individual's achievements. One beginning class encourages typing skill by posting the names of the fifteen students with the highest speed. At Mr. Graham's suggestion, a bi-monthly school paper was published by the office practice students. The editor-in-chief was Dorothy Bowers and the assistant editor, Hildreth Mcliowen. The first edition came out on October 17, 194l. Although the students were han- dicapped by poor equipment, the results were satisfactory. Since there is now a paper shortage, the publication has been discontinued as a patriotic sacrifice. The Industrial Arts De- partment under the direc- tion of Mr. Hinds has ex- panded beyond all expec- tations with the completion of the new addition. Fif- teen courses are offered in the department at the present time. A class in blueprint reading was of- fered for the first time this semester. An industrial arts course for girls may be organized next year. New equipment and machinery have been ad- ded to all areas of the shop. New machinery for t h e woodworking a n d drafting classes was pur- chased with the proceeds from the selling of obso- lete and worn-out machin- ery. New machinery and equipment were pur- chased by the federal government to carry on the Defense program. Courses in shop mathematics, drafting, machine shop practice and blueprint reading are offered by the Defense program. Two hundred forty men en- rolled in these courses in the past year. By giving its complete co-operation to the Defense program, the school has received and has on order approxi- mately 5B5,000 worth of machinery and supplies purchased by the federal government. The shop library has increased from a few out- of-date books to two hundred rental and reference books and approximately five hundred publications of related subject material. Mr. Hinds gives much credit to the boys in this department for the fine cooperation that they have shown in helping to organize and put into operation the different divisions of work. Most of these improvements would have been impossible had it not been for Mr. Hinds. His clear thinking and foresight did much to secure from the government this new equipment and supplies. His planning and utilization of all possible space in the new addition saved much money and made possible such an industrial arts department as we have today.

COACH RIFE Coach Myrle Rife's Crimson and Gold Netters composed mostly of seniors and sophomores opened their 1941-1942 Basketball schedule by winning two of their first three games. Enthusiasm built up by the new gym and dressing rooms hardly offset the disadvantages of last season when the team had been without opportunity for practice at home or on a floor of regulation size. This affected the team more than the average tan can comprehend. The Tigers usually played cr brilliant first half but during the final periods failed to main- tain their power. The most thrilling game oi the year was the Elwood overtime game which was lost by one point. From an official viewpoint the record was not outstanding but the stu- dents of A.H.S. feel strongly that Coach Rite and his Tigers deserve their enthusiastic support. The schedule was a tough one this year including tour teams that went to state semi- finals-Burris, Frankfort, Huntington and Tipton. The first two of these were contenders for the 1942 championship. 24 I in 2' 1fiz.at:fazfv1-si.:,J1zfH 25" k suezgggfgtg w as " 4 ". ff 2 -- fs 1 Q' .

This is a "live" collection, that is, new books are continually being added and old ones discarded. Current magazines and a pamphlet and picture collection supplement the books. They are accessible to all students tor study and recreational reading. Routine work is done largely by stu- dent librarians, trained and directed by Miss Hieatt. These students receive one credit per year tor their Work. The present start includes: Phyllis Glass, Phyllis Gos- nell, Yvonne Suits, Marjorie Tuxtord, Bette Dodd, Pauline Peck, Norma Wheel- don, Mary Million, and Beatrice Le Roy. imagine the library not in use . . .

The student body became a part of the 1942 Spectrum by submitting informal snapshots in a photography contest con- ducted by staii members during February. Dan Rohn and Mary Barbara Kane won the dollar awards. The grand prize, a free Spectrum, was given to Dan by a student vote. Lillian Orme, editor-in-chief, and Ray Griffin, business manager, worked with the senior staii: Fern Maynard, Dorothy Bowers, Georgeanna Coyle, Bernice Buttle, Beatrice LeRoy, Ray Washburn, Pat Mil- ler, Manuel Williams. Assistants were Betty Latchaw, Betty Fuller, Gratia Henry, Dick Lewis, Donald Tappan, Robert Glass, lack Kepner. Mr. McDaniels and Dick Lewis were in charge of the yearbook photography. Miss Hieatt assisted the staff with editing this book and Mr. Hinds acted as business adviser. l l l l l This Ianuary the addition to the high school building was completed. A soundproof band room, connecting commercial rooms and two other class rooms have reduced congestion and taken most senior high classes out of the Central building. Not only were the basketball court and gymnasium greatly increased, but the facilities of the whole physical education program were much enlarged and improved. Concentrating those activities in the new part of the building also makes possible the convenience and economy ot using that portion of the building without having the rest open.

Every girl in senior high school is a member of this Girl Reserve Club. Last spring officers for the next year were elected. At a banquet at the Colonade, Lillian Orme, Phyl- lis Gosnell, Bernice Buttle, Betty K. Arnold were installed as president, vice-president, secre- tary, and treasurer, respectively. Early in the year a mixer was planned to get each member acquainted with her fellow members. Miss Hash directed the games assisted by Miss Frazier, the sponsor. The girls made plenty of noise and some made new friends. ln November Miss Lucille Cook, National Girl Reserve Secretary, visited Alexandria. She gave many helpful suggestions and promoted the organization of junior high Girl Reserve Club. The freshmen elected Nancy Emswiller, president: Iune Castor, vice-presidentp Minerva Ann Cook, secretary: and Maxine Azirnow, treasurer. Miss Hash is the sponsor. Once a month they have a party or special program. They have enjoyed a skating party, chili supper, and a recreational party in the gymnasium. Miss French talked to them about the "Ideals of Girl Reserves." The girls' physical education classes, under the direction of Miss Harsh, have had several weeks oi baseball and bas- ketball practice. Volley ring and volley ball have added pleasure to the athletic activities. To help in the proper carriage of the body and promote better muscular coordination, a series of strenuous stunts were added. In connection with this, Brace's motor ability test was given to each class to test the balance of the girls. The new dressing rooms, equipped with showers, made for greater comfort and cleanliness. Four new mats were bought to replace worn out and dirty ones. The freshmen ended their season by winning their last three scheduled games rover teams which had defeated them by rather top heavy scores earlier in the season. The remaining four losses were taken at the hands of two strong teams. The young Tigers shared with their elders the handicap of being without a gym last year. This prevented them from having any junior high school experience. Among the players Iacobs was depended upon heavily for his offensive drive, while Mottweiler, Porter, and Iim Swindell contributed to both of- fensive and defensive play. Donahue efficiently filled the back court position most of the season. Mohler, Clegg, Nelson, Hand, Benson, and Muey all saw action that helped to make a successful season for the freshmen team of l942. Thirty-five players, a combi- nation of the seventh and eighth grade boys, formed the pool from which future Tiger teams will be drawn. Coached by Mr. Prichard, they worked hard and enthusiastically and showed definite improvements in their playing. They lost only five out of eleven games and succeeded in defeating Orestes twice and Cunningham once. Front row: Mohler, Clegg, Hand, W lacobs Porter Back row: I.

A full four- year course would include, in the first year, planning well balanced meals, considering food stuffs and calories. Principles of balanced design, color harmony, and rhythm are stressed in sewing classes. One simple article is made. During the second year advanced foods and canning are taken up. Home nursing and care of the child includes study of diseases, first aid, making beds, and taking temperature and pulse, The third year deals with house furnishings and budgets. Clothing design, textiles and colors are studied in connection with sewing in the second semester. Usually each girl makes two dresses or a suit. When completed these are put on exhibit in a style show. The fourth year student chooses the subject on which she wishes to specialize, and makes a more thorough study of it. Early this year the junior class chose Donald Dickey, president: Bill Poppellwell, Vice-presi dent: Dick Lewis, secretary: and Harold lar' rett, treasurer. Lillie Hysong later replaced Bill Poppellwell who withdrew from school.

She has filled this position for ten years. One of the important factors of her job is early correction of physcial defects. Campaigns against com- municable diseases which urge im- mediate immunization are part of her work. Hearing tests which are required by state law were given this year with audiometer and pitch tone tester. -u One of the projects ot the Iunior Red Cross this year was the making of two knitted ambulance blankets. The club, under the supervision ot Miss Hieatt, made the six inch squares according to Red Cross spe- cifications and sewed them together. The Girl Reserves aided in the work by collecting yarn and unravelling old sweaters. . 'f' 2 ' , -L ' 'W f ' Y 1 fl' ' ' I 1 ' , -M - , A " 2' an .: " Q.

Some of the duties of the council are to promote a better school spirit, create a respect for scholastic achievements, and promote the general welfare of the school. This organization may regulate and direct school drives, charter organizations or clubs, sponsor school activities, and promote school spirit and sportsmanship. ln the past the council worked for adoption of the home room system. This year the organization provided the devotional period in which, every two weeks during home room period, a different church is represented. A self-serving coca cola machine was a source of profit for the Student Council and for a general fund for the school. Other money making activities were a dance and intra- mural basketball tourney. On December 5, 1941, the Student Council attended the fifth annual meeting of the lndi- ana Association of Student Councils in Anderson. About twenty-five schools were represented by more than 200 delegates.

Jmclr, Although track and field athletics are the oldest known sports, they are seldom much publicized in high schools.

Mr. Rite had the following thirty-three boys in his track squad this spring: Bill Hicks, Harold Landers, Eugene Ludlow, Duane Cook, Morris Wright, Lambert Oliver, lack Kepner, Eulen Walker, lack DiRuzza, Hershel Crist, Bob Kane, lack Brenner, Eugene Weed, Elbert Benson, lim Swindell, Bob Beernan, Richard Allen, Charles Boothe, Bud Fisher, Iohn Hughes, Pat Mehling, Bob Iarrett, Don Hannah, Harold Hague, Kenneth Allen, Ralph Wilson, Dan Rohn, Bill Scott, Bill Arnold, Blair Sullivan, David Swisher, Ioe Walker, and Farada Hensley. From this group contestants were chosen tor the following events: 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, 440 yard dash, 880 yard dash, mile, low hurdles, high hurdles, broad jump, high jump, pole vault, mile and half mile relay, and shot put.

Don't you like the Way the book is arranged? We didn't expect all of you to. You will have to admit it is different. We pre- ferred the unconventional in yearbooks. Our idea was to portray a year at Alexandria High School. You seniors that are disgusted because you are in the back section, remember seniors are buzzing around and showing oft more in the spring than fall. ln the light of this We hope you will reconsider, TO SPECTRUM STAFF AND ADVISERS: We have thoroughly enjoyed making this book. Without the aid of Miss Hieatt, Mr. Hinds and Mr. McDaniels it would have been entirely impossible. Special credit and thanks are due Dick Lewis, the snapshot photographer, and Mr. Esley, who did the formal photography.
