IURORS OF THE JUVENILE COURT Marian Reames Marian holds down two jobs this year. She is secretary of both Mr. Mahan and Mr. Curtis. Some students th i n k her very liberal in distributing seventh periods, but the dose isn't so bitter when accompanied by her winning smile. Marian was graduated from M. H. S. with the class of '26. At the head of the English depart- ment is Miss Stevens. Her journalism class owes much of the success of The Artesian Herald to her. She's always there when she is needed. When it comes to creat- ing autobiogra- phers out of her senior English students, she is at Hannah Stevens wonder. As sponsor of the year book, Miss Stevens has always proved her efficiency. Mr. Scheidler heads the social L. J. Scheidler science depart- ment. Present day political and economic affairs are studied in his classes as well as e v e n t s of the past. His ability to make clear any point in the les- son is greatly ap- preciated by his students. Mr. Scheidler is also the efficient treasurer of the local High School Athletic Association. As a teacher of Latin Miss Hart has proved to be one state: her stu- dents h a v e al- w a y s achieved honors in t h e L a tin contests. The l a s t t w o years, however, they have been barred from this competition be- cause Miss Hart was chosen to of the best in the l Lillian Hart prepare the contest questions. She sponsors the Latin Club and the ever- popular Musicae Latinae. The senior class is proud to have Miss Rose, who supervises the mathe- matics depart- ment, as one of its sponsors. The fact that she has been a junior and s e n i o r sponsor several times speaks for itself of her dependabil- ity. One of her hobbies is to pick a good-humored Margaret Rose argument with the gentlemen in her classes. Mr. Colvin is at th mercial department. l Z Robert Colvin e head of the com- He teaches short- hand and typing and manages the H i g h S c h 0 o l Bookstore. Every spring he and Mrs. DeWitt es- cort soine of their commercial stu- dents to Muncie where they com- pete with other contestants from all over the state. Under his guidance the students learn with pleasure. Mr. Colvin also helps to sponsor the sopho- more class. This page through courtesy of Frank P. Edwards' Service Station

PCHWYRRS TTL4TfBEI I i M.s.MAHAN GLENN M. CURTIS 'P i Mr. Mahan has been superintendent of the Martinsville schools for the past twelve years. Under his guidance the high school has grown from an enroll- ment of 313 to the present enrollment of 798. In order to make school life more interesting to all types of students, Mr. Mahan has brought about the addition of several new departments. Mr. Mahan is an excellent econo- mizer. In these years of financial dis- tress he has safely carried us through. Many students do not realize thc amount of fighting, planning, and scheming which has been necessary to maintain -the high rating of the school. Mr. Mahan has been a real asset to the school system as a whole, and the students of Martinsville High School are greatly indebted to him for many of the scholastic opportunities that are open to them today. This year marks Mr. Curtis's thir- teenth year in the Martinsville schools, and this is his fourth year as principal at M. H. S. During the thir- teen years he has been connected with the schools he has each year success- fully coached a basketball team. In fact, he now has the distinction of being the only coach credited with four Hoosier hardwood titles. His team won at Lebanon in 1918 and here in 1924 and 1927 before capturing this year's state victory. Mr. Curtis is greatly loved by every student as well as by faculty mem- bers. He has a winning smile and a sympathetic disposition which go far in making his close, daily contact with student life a success. Disciplining is necessary in many cases, of course, but he serves his doses with a. smile, which is no doubt the most effective method after all. This factor also often reduces the mental acuteness ot' the punishment which must necessar- ily be administered by him at times. Every student relies upon Mr. Curtis as a principal, a basketball coach, and a real friend. This page through courtesy of 1. J. Newberry 5-10-25c Store
