We point with pride to our High School, we speak of its clean won victories, These vic- tories may be in athletics, in scholarship, in music, in oratory, or in any activity, but they must be the result of real effort, They must be the attain- ment of some worthwhile goal. They must be measured by high standards. To be a matter of permanent pride, championships must mean the attainment of ideal. Let us, the faculty and student body of Marion High School set and main- tain the highest standards iknown to high schools. May we be able to boast truthfully that our teams are the cleanest, our school spirit the finest, our scholarship the highest that can be reached. ELBERT E. DAY Superintendent , ln A ,,, 41-, ,,,, 7,,u.. l? u- Y an 4' Let us have faith in a high school that has brought forth a Van Devanter, a Reynolds, a Leipse, a Lenfesty, a HSandy Thomas, and a thousand others who have from day to day, in school and out of school, done the tasks that have confronted them, and so made this a grander and a better world for their fellow men. Our school as well as our city must be judged by the slogan Known by Her Products.

As a result, after a spirited campaign, the following of- ficers were elected: Hal Chasey, President: Clifton Grant, Vice-President: Velma Poland, Secretary: Stephen Johnson, Treasurer. Junior activities have consisted of a farmer-farmerette party held in the school gym, a campaign for Survey subscriptions in which they had a larger percentage of sutscribers than any other class in school, and a junior Program which was given in general assembly, consisting of musical selections and a one- act play, The Ghost Story, by Booth Tarkington. The class this year is setting a precedent in school annals in that they are obtaining their rings and pins in their Junior year. ,ji Top Row Second Row Third Row Fourth Row Fifth Row XVimmer Rcavel Oliver Burnsides Usher ' Fraser Chapman Rinker Irwin HJY95 Erlewine Naftzger Weaver Lloyd Robbins Snodgrass Bauserman Mclntyre Gotschal Malott Downey Williams Comer Davis Case Sage Day Hale Wood Chasey Morton Fagan Boykin Clifford Grant Hodge Boxell Stephenson Lowe Brown Barley Vandermark Wardwell XVirick Turney Licpse Keim Pence Morrow Kinnear Homrighous Burson Price Sanders Green Sixth Row Seventh Row Eighth Row Ninth Row Tenth Row Randolph Pixel XVood Eastes Barnes XVhitehurst Baumgartner Curfman Lucas Hiatt Renbarger Lee Hord Boller Brown McBride Badger De'l7Jalt Young Poster Kile Rhorer Chochos Brown Moon Lutz Copeland Fox Brunka Custer Phillips Reed Guyer Hodge Brown Hutchins Roy Townsend Snyder Walton Adams Wilson Gifhn Brewer Berger Kilgore NVeesner Johnson Cabe Cleveitgcr Pence McCoy Bunker Milford XVcomcr Ltd 3 a 1 I a E E i l 4 D l .ltl:f,,,,..1J:l.4' nl,, nx,,,,,-n ,T-n, 1, W, ,ln ,, ,nn ,,,.

The purpose of this club is not only to promote and stimulate interest in drama, but also to discover and develop dramatic talent among the students by giving them the opportunity for practical ex- perience. Precedent has established the custom of presenting a Christmas program to the students. This year a one-act play, The Reverie by Percival Wilde, was given. Later in the year, as a public performance, 'the three-act comedy Peg O' My Heart, by J. Hartley Manners, was presented. These plays were very successfully coached by Miss Jeanette Wilson, faculty sponsor for the club. At the first meeting this year Mary Katherine Fagan was elected presi- dent, and at a later dame Robert Charles was chosen as 'Secretary and Carrie Isabel Clawson, treasurer. The club meets every two weeks for a short business session and at in- tervals a social meeting is held at the home of some member, The Dramatic Club is limited to a membership of forty students, Juniors and Seniors. The Club has had a very successful year. .lthnv -311 ,,,,xn,,,,,...l1x...iu.L, ' ILL, ,-LL YJ -2- U-4'4 'l' v 'I -D cn 'fn -QL N' Top Row' Fagan, Charles, Foland, Mcdlin, Mart, Lutz, Fagan, Burns, LaRowe, Batchelor.

Hartley Manners was the mid- year play presented by the Dramatic Club. The play was given on the evenings of February 23rd and 24-th. and proved to be an outstanding success, . The principle role, that of Peg, was given in an excellent manner by Velma Poland, her interpretation of the lovable Irish heroine meriting much praise. The part of Mrs. Chichester, Pegs aristocratic aunt, was effectively and interestingly played by Frances Hardin. who assumed a snobbish and dignified air in bringing up her erring and hoydinish niece. The parts of Mrs. Chichester's son and daughter, Alaric and Ethel, were played by Herman King and Margaret Langan respectively. The role of Alaric was that of a conceited young Englishman, who had never done anything useful. The role of his sister, Miss Ethel Chichester, who was sophisticated and bored with life, was convincingly given.

This difficult role was realistically portrayed by Robert Pixel. The hero of the play was Jerry, Sir Cierald Adair, who won the hearts of his audience as well as that of l3'eg with his charming smile. The part, in- cluding the smile, was cleverly given by Everton Sheron. Another important character role was that of Mr. Hawkes. the family lawyer, given in a very business-like manner by Joe Batchelor. The minor, but essential parts of Bennett, the maid, and Jarvis, the butler, were given a very good interpretation by Maymie Wright and Clarence Slusser. The committee in charge of tryouts for the play were: William Thomas, Bliss Oliver, Pauline Torrance, and Frances Hardin. Those in charge of the production of the play were Bliss Oliver, Robert Hazelett, and Pauline Tor- YHIICQ. THE ARRIVAL OF KITTY The Seniors this year chose as their play the three-act comedy farce, The Arrival of Kitty. This was presented on the nights of May 20th and Zlst, to a large and appreciative audience. All three scenes take place in the office of the Halcyon House, a summer hotel in the Catskill Mountains. The plot centers around the fact that Jane's father left a will compelling her to marry a certain man in order to receive her fortune. Hence the girl and her lover must find something discreditable to her uncle, who is trying to force her marriage. The play opens with the proprietor of the hotel away and the bell-boy in charge. Upon the arrival of William Winkler, the uncle, Aunt Jane, his sister and Jane, his niece, the action begins. Shortly after their arrival Bobbie Baxter, Janes' lover, appears, and with the help of Ting, the bell-boy, who proves to be a classmate of his at Yale, he plans to stop the marriage, which is to take place at six o'clock that evening. Fortune plays into their hands when Bobbie accidently finds a letter from Kitty Benders, an actress, addressed to William Winkler. Along with the letter he finds a picture of the actress. He confronts Aunt Jane, Uncle William and Jane, and tells them of the affair. William, however, denies it and says that the letter and picture belong to Bobbie.

To win .lane back and secure a hold over her uncle, Bobbie masquerades as Kitty. However in the meantime, the real Kitty appears and many com- plications arise. To make the situation worse, Benjamin Moore. the man whom Jane is supposed to marry, arrives and is mistaken for a man from the matrimonial agency who has been sent out for Aunt Jane. Things are finally straightened out and they have, instead of the double wedding planned, a triple wedding and everyone is happy. William Winkler, the uncle, could not have been given a better interpreta- tion than that given by Russell Bragg. The part of Aunt Jane was so realis- tically played by Ruth Hadden, that it is hard to realize that she is not in real life an old maid. Jane the heroine of the play was charmingly portrayed by Polly Powell, while Bobbie Baxter, the hero, and also actress led the audience through many exciting and interesting moments. Glen Overman was fully qualified to play this part, The role of Benjamin Moore, the comical old gentleman who has a weak- ness for women, was cleverly presented by Robert Charles, Ting, the bell-boy, who became proprietor, was one of the most interesting characters in the play and Malcolm Kennedy was just the one for this part, ' Sam was a typical colored porter, who had his audience in a constant up- roar. Chester Meredith was very comical in this part. Emily Price in the part of Kitty Benders, the chorus girl, and Mary I. Allen as the French maid, Suzette, did their work creditably, The committee in charge of this play was Everton Sheron, Mary Eva Hardy, and Frances Hardin, Y N 4 qiQ,:,..5,-ff '-3 ,mag if I s GJ' e Y R 1 ll' -J, m...:5., ,,-, 1 gi .?'

Early in the year the Girl Reserves with the Hi-Y gave two plays to secure camp money. The plays were a success and the necessary amount was realized. i ' Not only does 'the Zonta Club have dramatic ability but they have singing 1 ability, as shown by the competitive sing staged in May.

The Latin Club Since its revival last year from the ashes of the Old Sodalitas Romana of 1923 fame the Latin or S.P.Q.R. Club has been perhaps the most -consistently popular and successful of all the school clubs. The fact that it is organized and conducted on the ancient principles of Roman government and law has added both dignity and interest to the meetings. As consuls this year Robert Chapman and Joseph Batchelor have executed the business of the Club in a way worthy of Cicero himself, The Quaestors, Polly Powell and Roger Rhorer have proved able scribes and keepers of the NL - V' o U B ,H YY ,H Y n, lu ,,-Ju, ,uL,,,,,u7,,..... is .T .B .a .as Egg.

The year's program has included many and varied features of interest, ranging from a heatedly contested debate concerning the value of Latin, which was duly judged and settled in a way agreeable to all real Latin students, to an interesting and illuminating visit from Apollo and the nine Muses. The cele- bration of the Saturnalia and other Roman festivals, the talk concerning the beauties of Rome by a recently returned traveler and the Olympic meets and games, which added hilarity to each meeting, should also be mentioned, State Latin Contest Marion High School for the third year won honors in the State High School Latin Contest conducted by the Extension Division of Indiana Univer- sity. This year the students who won in the local contest succeeded in winning all ten places in the county contest, At the district contest Hunter Stewart, Margaret Clawson and Donnave Myers won first places. Marion also captured two second places and two third places. Hunter Stewart was the only Marion student winning honors at the state contest, April 9th.

' Agriculture Club The sixth year of Vocational Agriculture in Marion High has been marked with great success, The department has pupils from ten townships in Grant County, the largest enrollment of any year, In the county corn show Marion won seven prizes out of a possible eleven. In the county club round-up two Marion boys won trips to the Cleveland Fat Stock Show with their calves, Their pigs and chickens placed high. The school farm which is located back of Memorial Field, is a plot of eight acres owned by the school corporation and tilled by the agriculture boys. Part of it is used as an experimental laboratory, while four acres are given over to pasture land. There is an orchard of sixty fruit trees and also upon the prop- erty is a poultry house where thirty English White Leghorns are sheltered, The grove of native trees set out this year by the agriculture department and donated by various organizations is also on this ground. For the past two years the farm has been self-suporting and affords a wonderful opportunity for practical work. Mr. Crane says, The spirit of the class is good and the club work next year should be the best ever.

Music The Cilee Clubs were again scheduled on School time and the classes com- pare favorably with those of other years. There are fifty girls and twenty- three boys in the organizations. This year the clubs gave a comic opera the latter part of April. Every year the clubs sing before the service clubs. the churches, and other organiza- tions. The State Contest was held the eighth of May at Indianapolis, under the auspices of the Indianapolis Association of Commerce. Marion entered a mixed chorus, ln the Music Department there is also a class in harmony and one in music appreciation. This class was very interesting owing to the illustrative records used both in the regular work and as a Memory Contest list. V Several years ago the members of a music appreciation class organized a music club which they called the Music Box for the tinkly old-fashioned in- strument which made melody for people long before we had our modern phon- ograph. The purpose of the organization is to further the appreciation of good music and only students of high class standing are eligible, also music-loving alumni may continue as honorary members. The meetings are held every two weeks, and their programs have been varied and interesting. This year Valen- B ,u1.,4lI 1-ng in ,Y ln.4,n.,.?1L,,,ju,,,,, -V - 5 n- ' cp- an E!

The art students redecorated their rooms which shows they practice what they learn. The chairs, painted a motley of lovely colors and the rose colored drapes enlivened the surroundings. The numerals in oil, taken from the Thief of Bagdadu were painted by a group of students. William Thomas do- ing the greater part of the ngure work. A small art library is another addition which holds an important place in the room. The free-hand drawing class painted out-of-door scenes and some of the water colors attracted much attention in the exhibit held during National Edu- cation Week. Each student in the interior decoration class planned a house and furnishings. They also studied stage craft and constructed miniature stages and settings for juvenile plays. The commercial artists made posters for the Martin Boots Centennial and Children's Book Week. The costume de- sign class, although still in its infancy, has an enrollment of twenty-five. The whole department helped to paint models of school houses for the Centennial parade and also stage settings for plays given by the Dramatic Club. Several contests were entered during the past year. During the spring of 1925, Ira Jones won the silver cup for nrst place in the state poster contest and Opal Stuckey honorable mention. Bliss Oliver won a cash prize in a na- tional poster contest for one entitled Be Kind To Animals. and William Thomas won honorable mention. We are again entering several contests for l926 and hope to come out with flying colors. III!

When practice began, there were only three veterans among the candidates but there was a spirit about the squad that no M.H.S. team has had in recent vears. From the first practice until the nnal game, every man from Coach Thomas to the last substitute gave all he had. The season developed few out- standing stars, team play being the predominating feature, There was an abundance of backiield material, there being seven candidates of varsity calibre. Bragg, at fullback, was a tower of strength on defense and could always be depended upon for a few yards gain, The quarterback position was capably lilled by Chasey and Heck. 'Coach Thomas had few worries about the halfback positions as there were four brilliant players available. Davidson was an outstanding ground gainer of the team and did most of the punting. Johnson was a very con-I ,sistent man on the team, his defensive work being of the highest quality. Hodge and Custer were always ready to enter the game and performed well. The line, which at first seemed weak, developed into one of the best in the state. On offense it was seldom surpassed and on defense, it could usually hold its own. The center trio, composed of Lewis Miller, Twigg, and Mackey, made the middle of the line impregnable. Eixel and Harold Miller were also on the job every minute and fought hard. Two new men Stone and Martz, held down the tackle position. Stone was one of the best defensive men in the line, breaking up many plays before they were fairly started while Martz always played a steady game and held down his position well. Bob Chapman, a vet- eran of three years, was one of the outstanding players on the team and one of the best ends who have ever represented the Purple and Gold. His catching of forward passes was always phenomenal and, by the end of the season, he was a dependable place kicker. Everett Chapman, on the other end, was also above the average, his end of the line always being well protected. Marion and Anderson, traditional basketball rivals, met for the first time on the gridiron and Marion won an over-whelming victory, The iinal score, 31-7 is no measure of the difference between the teams as Marion's reserves played almost half the game, The issue was never in doubt, Davidson making Marion's first touchdown on the first play and making a sensational ninety eight yard run a few minutes later. The new backfield, composed of Chasey, John- son, Davidson, and Bragg, worked smoothly and the line opened up great holes. The showing of Mackey and Everett Chapman was especially pleasing. The purple and Cmold opened the home season with a 24-O victory over Kirklin. The victory was not a real test, however, as Kirklin presented a much weaker team than had been anticipated. Marion scored steadily and held Kirk- lin in check at ,all times. The team showed promise of great strength and the fans were satisfied. The next week, Marion had no trouble in defeating Knightstown 54-0. The Purple and Gold was in possession of the ball practically all the time and 5 5 5 E 5 9 I H us - i I I E tn cn fn: an 7 ,,n1 , 441 ,lux Ln! em -Cl CD -0 'D' L- IAA FOOTBALL SQUAD very seldom punted. During the first three quarters of the game Marion used straight football, bucking the line and skirting the ends. The advance was steady but not sensational and provided few thrills, However in the last quar- ter, the fans were awarded, for Marion opened up with the most brilliant and varied attack an M.H.S. team has shown in recent years. Shooting long passes and short passes with deadly accuracy and dashing around the ends for long gains, the Purple and Gold clad machine swept irresistibly down the field for four touchdowns. Marion lost its first game of the season to Sheridan, 26-6. Marion scored in the first quarter due to some excellent line plunging by Bragg, 'but could not cope with the smashing offense of the heavy Sheridan backs. Fum- bles had an important part in the setback as Marion lost the ball once when it was across the goal line and several times when it was within scoring distance. After the Sheridan game, the Purple and Gold showed a complete re- versal of form and held the strong Muncie team to a 7-0 victory. This was lit- erally a victory for Marion as Muncie was held on even terms for over three quarters of the game and only scored in the fourth quarter. Red Davidson, was unable to play and Steve Johnson ,was in poor condition, but in spite of this, he played a fine, heady game. Marion was in possession of the ball most of the time but the Muncie defense was impregnable at critical times. In the fourth quarter, when the game appeared to be a scoreless tie, a long pass, heaved by Huckle George, placed the ball' near the goal line and Muncie bucked it over. ll' ir ul W4 i i YJ L!Twn.

In the second half Coach Thomas sent in the reserves and they ran y wild for four touchdowns. Bob Custer, substitute halfback electrified the crowd 7 with his brilliant 30-yard runs and his 50-yard run for a touchdown. John- i son made a touchdown on Custer's pass. Bob Chapman kicked five goals after touchdowns and a perfect placement from the twenty-live yard line. , l 5 X E.

Marion played a fine defensive game and gained state-wide recognition for stopping Dayton's powerful eleven. During the first three quarters, neither team gained any advantage except when Davidson and John- son worked the ball down to the twenty yard line.

There the Marion line turned the invaders back and saved the game. To close the season, Wabash and Marion met in a gruelling battle and Wabash came out on the long end of a 13-6 score. Before Marion had settled down, Wabash plunged the ball across the line for a touchdown. Marion was plunged into still deeper gloom when Theron Twigg, veteran guard, suffered a Martz Heck f l Q ll l f e E 5 s H s H E 1 l E E E 1 1 T. wimli..

State Champions For the first time in the history of the school, a Marion High School basketball team reigns supreme over all other Indiana High School teams. The Purple and Gold basketeers, known throughout the season as the Giants, swept aside all opposition and marched triumphant to the pinnacle of the Hoosier net world. The Giants were by far the greatest team in the great- est tourney ever fostered by the I.H.S.A.A. It was a remarkable tribute to Coach Eugene Thomas that in this, his third year of coaching, he should have produced a team superior to the teams of more experienced mentors. Only a master hand could have developed such a team. In the state tournament, competiting with the best teams the state had to offer, the Giants were behind only once and that by only one point. Central of Evansville, the dark horse of the tourney, held the lead over Marion but soon fell before the powerful onslaught of the Giants. Marion won the championship by defeating Van Buren, Fairmount, and Gas City in the sectional tourneyg Laketon and Kokomo in the regionalg and Nappanee, Central of Et. Wayne, Central of Evansville, and Martinsville in the finals at Indianapolis. The members of the team were each presented with championship watch- fobs and the team as a whole was presented with a shield symbolical of the Basketball Championship of Indiana. Following the final tournament the public square was filled with people, the celebration lasting until daylight. When the team arrived a huge crowd was there to meet them and in the week following the Giants were guests of honor at banquets. mass meetings, and theaters. The civic clubs financed a visit to Chicago where the Giants were spectators at the National Interscholas- tic Net Tourney. The move for a new gymnasium received such a boast that it now appears certain that future M.H.S. teams will have a suitable place in which to play. As a final tribute, the name 4'Giants is to become the name of all other Marion High School basketball teams in honor of the Marion Giants of 1926 who brought much glory to the school by winning the Basketball Champion- ship of Indiana. i l 1 l B E E .. ,Y .Lcu..., , in tn Yin D- --1.

Defeating some of the best teams in the state during the regular season and sweeping aside all opposition in the tournaments, the Giants reached the height of Hoosier basketballdom, the championship of Indiana. The regulars, Charles Murphy, Robert Chapman. Glen Overman, Everett Chapman, and Karl Kilgore, were all players above the average and steadily outplayed their opponents, while Davidson, Usher. Johnson, Chasey, and Heck, formed a reserve team of unusual strength. Brunn also contributed much to the reserve strength of the team until injuries handicapped him and Ricker showed promise of great ability, only to be declared ineligible, Marion was forced to forfeit several games when they voluntarily made it known they had unknowingly played an ineligible man. By doing so, they lost the famous Victory Brick which had been won the previous week and did not regain it until the final game of the state tourney. The Giants, although not possessed of great speed, had other qualities which made speed unnecessary. The keynote of their entire play was coolness and accuracy. At no time during the entire season were they even 'iup in the air. Each man knew what he was supposed to do and, when the time came, he did it. There were few unnecesary moves, false steps, or careless mistakes. Every member of the team became so well drilled in shooting that, before the end of the season, the Giants missed few opportunities to score. Many of Marion's points were scored from far back in the court in a manner which took the pep out of an opponent. These two factors, combined with their un- usulal height and their excellent teamwork, made the Giants the greatest team in ndiana. Charles Murphy, captain and center, started almost every play and was an important clog in the defense. He handled the ball cleverly and was an ac- curate distance shot as well as being almost impossible to stop under the basket. At the close of the season, he was the unanimous choice of critics for all state center. Robert Chapman, a veteran of three years, was a wonderful defensive play- er and an excellent basket shot. He performed brilliantly throughout the season and ended his High School athletic career in a blaze of glory. The forwards, Overman and Everett Chapman, were all that could be desired, each being an excellent basket shot and a valuable defensive man. Everett Chapman one of the most accurate shots on the team, was especially good under the basket. He was also valuable in breaking up opposing offense and although always closely guarded, was one of the season's high scorers. Overman was better at feeding the other players than any other member of the team, His great worth lay in his ability to carry the ball down the floor and to pass it to an unguarded team-mate. He was an important cog in the in cn 4:11 nu rn War- -me -- ll -+1 -o -41-N' nth V' tip-off plays and could be depended upon to come through with a basket in a pinch. Kilgore, at backguard, besides being able to break up opposing plays, was a valuable offensive player. Time after time, he would dribble down the floor and shoot or pass to a team-mate. He scored in almost every game and held the opponents in check at all times. The season opened with Wabash playing here and the game resulted in overwhelming victory for Marion. Then followed easy victories over Warsaw and Newcastle in which Marion averaged over fifty points per game, The first long trip of the season came when the Giants journeyed to Vin- cennes and emerged victorious over the Alices, 29-26. This was a surprise victory and gave an indication of Marion's future strength. Two more games were played that same week, Fairmount falling before the Giants 40-27 and Kokomo handing them their first defeat 37-26. Another of the season's high spots came when Marion decisively defeated the Anderson Indians for the first time in five years. Marion piled up 56 points while Anderson was garnering 31. A victory over Peru merely served as a practice for the return game with the Kokomo Wildcats at Haworth Gymna- sium. The Giants revenged their former defeat at the hands of the Koko- Katsf' winning a 44-34 victory. Akron, Ohio, Fairmount, and Huntington fell at the hands of the Giants and then, accompanied by the eighty-five piece band and eight hundred rooters, the Purple and Gold basketeers traveled to Martinsville, handing the Artesian City crew a fifteen point defeat, The southern trip ended when the unheralded and under-rated Bloomington team handed Marion the second and last defeat of the season. After the southern trip, the Giants emerged victors over Muncie and And- erson after two grueling battles. The efforts of South Bend were fruitless and the Muncie Bearcats were turned back a second time. Wabash met a like fate and the season closed when Eroebel of Gary failed to withstand the onslaught of the Giants, SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT -The 1926 Sectional Tournament was the biggest and best ever held in Marion. The teams, as a whole, were stronger than ever before and gave Marion keener competition. Van Buren was the first to fall at the hands of the Giants, the Blue Devils being overwhelmed 65 to 19. Eairmount's Prayin' Quakers gave Marion their hardest fight. ln the finals, Marion met Gas City, the surprise team of the tournament, and easily triumphed. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT Marion earned the right to go to the state tournament by defeating Lake- ton and Kokomo in the regional. Laketlon, although undefeated throughout the entire season, was no match for the Giants and was easily defeated.

This victory brought together Marion and Kokomo to determine which should go to the state tournament. The teams were supposed to be evenly matched and the game was watched eagerly by the state as both teams were recognized contenders for the state championship. The outcome of the game stunned the entire state, Marion clamping down with an iron clad defense which held the Wildcats to a meager eight points while they themselves were garnering twenty-four. STATE TOURNAMENT Accompanied by over one thousand fans, the Giants embarked upon the last trip of the season for the final test of strength, the state tournament. Mar- ion played their first game Friday evening against Nappanee, the surprise team from the north and effectively subdued their smaller opponents. Marion scored almost at will and kept the ball most of the time. The Giants advanced to the semi-finals by defeating Central of Ft. Wayne, 50-26. While Marion was far ahead, all of the game. the up-staters fought hard and showed flashes of real form. Central of Evansville was next to fall under the Giants withering barrage of basket shots. The Evansville team gave the Giants a real scare, leading by one point for a short time during the first half. Central kept within striking distance most of the time and it was only in the last few minutes that Marion drew away to win 29-22. In the finals, with the i'Cowbarn jammed to capacity, Marion won the State Ch3mP10USh1P by defeat- ing Martinsville in a fast baffle' 30123 If Wa? 3 game featured by marvelous bas- ket Shooflffgi llghmlflgv fast passes and dribbles, and a fierce intensity on the part of both players and Spec- tators. In the last few minutes, Marion had 3 small lead which Martins- ville tried desperate- ly to overcome when I gun signifying the end, was heard and ten tir- ed but nanny, Giants left the floor, recognized as the Basketbnii Champions of Indiana. u.l 1 D :D 'fu ,W I Q ffff -A -ff E Aff SECOND TEAM BASKETBALL SQUAD L.

The Little Giants played several varsity teams during the season and more than held their own. Every team that they played was larger than they were and they were always working under that handicap. However, each player was a clever passer and dribbler and an accurate shot. Since all of the reserves are underclassmen, they should be of great help next year in forming a new varsity. At the end of the season, Reserve sweaters were given to Custer, Hodge, Fixel, Booth, Fraser, and Carl in appreciation of their work during the season. 1925 and 1926 Track The track team of 1925, although handicapped by lack of experience and a poor place to practice, made a very creditable record. Placing third in the county meet, the M.H.S. squad showed that they were to be reckoned with in the district meet. In this meet, 'iRed Davidson, 1Vlarion's star distance man, placed second in both the half mile and the mile and entered the state meet. Here he secured second place in the half mile. Other meets were held with Van Buren, Fairmount, and Anderson, in which Wilkes, Cabe, Weaver, R. Chap- man' R. Harrold, H. Harrold, Davidson, Moore, Chasey, Kilgore, and Black formed the basis of the team. In the 1926 Grant County track and Held meet. Marion was nosed out by Fairmount but finished a good second. Marion won more first places than any other school but secured few seconds and thirds. '1Red Davidson was high point man of the meet, breaking the county record in the quarter mile and win- ning the half mile and the broad jump besides tieing for Hrst place in the high jump. Harry Harreld broke the county record in the 220 yard-dash and won the 100 yard-dash. Other Marion points were won by Kilgore Stickann, and R, Harreld. Marion also won the half mile relay with Custer, Chapman, Davidson, and Harreld running in the order named. Marion ............ .35 1-7.
