The other teams entered were beginning shorthand and begin- ning bookkeeping each of which made a good showing. The shorthand team was com- posed of Betty Tatman, Mary Hershman, and Virginia Massey, who we1'e coached by Miss Sowers. The bookkeeping team was composed of Hulda Schulenberg, Marjorie Dickover, and Julia Chambers and was coached by Mr. Planck. AWARDS Senior Day is not only a day set aside to honor the entire class as a group, but also the time at the end of the year when the most deserving students are given scholarship awards. These have always been given after the annual has been published, and therefore no record is to be found of them with the other senior activities. So let us go back a few years, now, and see who the worthy students of T.H.S. have been. The first to be mentioned is the American Legion medals. In 1933, Marjorie May and Robert McNeal received them: in the following year they were given to Helen Nance and Russell Stevensong in 1935, Mary Jane Presler and William Ross were the two students chosen, last year 119363 Julia Ann Harting and Richard Turnbell were selected as the most deserving ones. These students have always been selected by the faculty. Their scholarships and attitudes toward their high school careers were judged the best among the whole student body. Next is the award which interests girls only: the Phi Beta Psi award of Nurse's training given at the St. Vincent Hospital at Indianapolis. The Phi Beta's select the senior girl whom they think is best qualified and the most deserving person from a number who have applied to their president for ,the scholarship. In 1933, Gladys Bevelheimer received itg unfortun- ately, it was not given in 19343 Mary Jane Presler was the pick of the seniors in 19353 in 1936, the selected one was Betty Ertel. The last award is that of the Tri Kappa's consisting of twenty-five dollars given to the senior who has the highest scholastic standing through- out their four years in high school. This money is given with the under- standing that it will be used as an aid for further development of the edu- cation of the person receiving it. Mary Jean Essig, Geraldine Crail, Flor- ence Rosenthal, and Dorothy McCorkle received the awards for the years 1933-4-5-6, respectively. Now is the great question! Who are the seniors of our class who will be added to this list of distinguished Tiptonites? No one knows nowg we'll just have to wait.

'- .., V ul ig -r ' 'bl K we fHI-EC CLUB The Science Club was organized four years ago. Since that time it has grown in its purpose of spreading the interest of science in the school. Last year plans were carried out for affiliating with the Indiana Junior Acad- emy of Science when the club became a member of that organization. To become a member one must be in the tenth, eleventh, or twelfth years of school and have completed a course in biology, or be a student of chemistry or physics. Meetings are held the first and third Thursdays of the month. Most of the time this year has been spent working on projects. The various groups include birds and trees, radio, photography, astronomy, rocks and soil, electricity, and cloths. At each meeting a different group has charge of the program. Members of this club feel that they have benefited much from the meetings this year, and hope the members in the coming years will gain as much. The Dramatic Club was organized in 1923, and since that time Miss Ruth Coble has been the helpful sponsor. The purpose of the club is to discover and develop dra- matic ability in students interested in the club, and to instruct them in subjects pertaining to dramatics. To become a pledge one must have earned 10 points and to become a member, 25 points. These can be earned by public speaking, appearing in plays, or aiding in play production. This year the members are studying the History of Drama. One-act plays were also given at different meet- ings. In December the club sponsored the movie, A Midsummer Night's Dream , at the Ritz Theatre for the purpose of raising funds to improve the stage equipment. The attempt met with great success. On December 12, 1931, the Ti-Hi-Ec Club of Tipton became affiliated with the American Home Economics As- sociation. From that time until December of 1936, Miss Carol Blount was the sponsor, but after her resignation Mrs. Jackson took her place. The purpose of the club is to spread the interest of home economics in the school and in the home. Meet- ings are held the first Tuesday night of the month. We have had some enjoyable times in the form of pitch-in suppers at the High School Building and parties at the homes of the members. Different members usually have the lesson, but Miss Adams, the county nurse gave a talk at one meeting. To become a member a girl must read a paper, give a talk, prepare a demonstration, or give a stunt before the club. She must then be voted in. The club has been active all year and we feel that our efforts towards its success have not been in vain. l l v 4 A 5.534 A P- ul' 'I 1 ' L. fl -3 ji 1 'A SJ .15 2 9 1 X lu..
