S IN MEMORIAM It is with deepest reverence that we pause at the outset of this book to pay our sincere respects to the memories of two Bloomington High School boys who have passed from us during the past year. Quiet and unassuming in life, so Russell Fish, sophomore, met his death. To say he is greatly missed by his teachers and classmates is inadequate. His modesty was highly com- mendable, particularly in view of the fact that he was a brilliant student. Russell inspired his associates to greater achievements and in so doing he attained a greater glory. Richard Brown, also a sophomore, was the second to pass from us during the past year. Although Richard's span of life was all too brief, still it was long enough to leave im- pressed on all who knew him the memory of his willing and cheerful personality. Richard is no longer here but his friendly greeting and happy smile will linger on through the years to come. FOREIDORD ln the publication of this annual we, the staff of the l938 GOTHIC, have attempted to give a pictorial and written panorama of the activities and events of the school year of i937-38. We have endeavored to accomplish this purpose through our presentation of the parades of school life in Bloomington High School. The parades of personalities, activi- ties, and athletics appearing in the following pages are drawn up for your review. Aside from our primary purpose we have striven to be non-partisan in every respect, to represent the entire school, to show school life in B.H.S. as it is, to exercise a choice of good taste in every regard, and to construct our book in an interesting, distinctive, and permanent fashion. But we cannot tarry . . . the parades of school life in B.H.S. as characterized in the ensuing pages await our review. 4 3 i x l I As the long shadows deepen and the lights of the firefly flicker timidly, you realize that it is summer and the school year once more has slip- ped by. lt was a good year, full of rich memories. Hair went page-boy or cluttered up with bows-skirts came up and up- I Double Dare You tickled your toes-library pass colors changed and rechanged-the show still cost thirty-five cents and the boy friend still groaned. Yes, it was a good year. Golden September - Dr. Simon's twinkling smile took the edge from the return to slavery- the Gothic campaign flared brilliantly, catching even the underclassmen iD,i4's web of excitement -the boys rivaled the girls with a council that got things done-the monitor system reversed the old rule that bad children sit in the hall and managed to let the good ones sit there for a change-the Bloomfield game set smiles on the lips of hysterical fans and the football team on a pedestal. Frosted October-the first council tea dance swayed the new gym floor-a barrage of in- tramural sports seasoned the lunch hour-Mona Morgan, character actress, gave us a Shake- spearean taste of the footlight thrill-the Gothic Staff was thumb-tacked for the public eye- Teachers' Association blossomed as a reprieve- the Franklin Press Convention delegates re- turned with new ideas and new addresses. Bleak November-first nighters loudly ap- plauded Big Hearted Herbert, first senior play -candid camera fans took the public eye as the Gothic snapshot contest was staged-the dust on the hardwood floor was scattered once more by slim tennis shoes-the Yellow jackets of lasonville were impressively retired as the Pan- thers ended a highly successful grid season- underclassmen toed the line and eyed a clicking birdy -Rev, Rae delivered the Thanksgiving convo address-and Thanksgiving recess seemed but a moment of turkey and mince pie. Bleached December- Gym Gems came off with the much talked of barrel of fun and Plunko Peanuts-Channing Pollock's story, The Fool , was presented with all the finesse of pro- fessional actors-the Reflector staff started bothering people for their literary masterpieces- the football victory banquet sparkled with well earned praise-Coach Mumby crossed his fingers and sent out a first call for mat practice-a little of the real Christmas spirit warmed the school by way of the Christmas cheer drive-and Old Santa rode in on a hopelessly short twelve day vacation. Wooly january-a tootin' rootin' meller-dramer stole the spotlight at the Senior Sport Dance -the band and orchestra concert plucked a star from the field of musical accomplishments- the Invitational Debate Tourney flung echoes to the four winds-and the basketeers kicked the dope bucket skyward by outshining New Albany's Bulldogs by a 23 to 22 score. Fleeting February-convo dished out some worthwhile tips by way of Mr. Damon's talk on the selection of a vocation-Gothic sales were dead- lined with the largest number ever to be sold-the boys' gym got a spring posey in its bonnet as the Student Council sponsored the first all school dance-Honor Society drooped its learned mantle on 29 new members-Bloomington rang the gong at the State Wrestling Meet with some single titles and the collective label of third place. Windy March-Bloomington, gallantly gallop- ing through the sectional, was finally scalped by ye old rivale , Martinsville-the seniors winded the faculty's deadeyes , with a 23 to I8 victory -Proscenium Players presentation of Abie's Irish Rose scored a four bell hit-the Seniors took a Swing at Spring in the form of a sport dance, high lighted by the bare-legged, grass- skirted boys' ballet. Budding April-Len Bunger donned the crown of the junior class presidency- true love won out in the rioutous mellerdramer , On The Bridge at Midnight -Senior Reception for par- ents came and went-the long heralded Reflec- tor made its debut-the Gothic went into the home stretch minus tentative May. Flowery May-Much ado about something?- Honor Day featured the talented and the hard- working-Class Day bubbled gay predictions-the Gothic came out lwe hopel-Baccalaureate sol- emnized the memories of four happy years-and lastly, Commencement closed each senior's book in which was recorded a record of laughter and tears. CONTENTS i - 1 i l THE PERSGNALITY PARADE--Here we pause to review the host oi personalities who constitute Bloomington High School. The Faculty,the seniors, and the underclassmen pass quiclcly by, Forming a panorama ot the persons whom each of us lcnow. THE ACTIVITIES PARADE--Our spotlight of attention moves on and comes to rest upon the activities found within our halls. Organizations, honorary, departmental, and general, march lay in brilliant parade which we may review in sweeping panorama. THE PLAY-TIME PARADE--As a climax to our review oilthe parades oi school lite, we come to the parade oi athletics. Gridders, grapplers, baslceteers, and thinlyclads--they are all here, on parade, awaiting our review. The Personalihg Parade Q WY' ' 1' 1 Page ten DEDICATI For the past four years we, the members of the class of 1938, have been in attendance at Bloomington High School. We have at- tempted to acquire a background and work- ing basis for the future accomplishment of greater things and the attainment of higher levels. Throughout these four years we have been under the guiding influences of that body of individuals whom we have known as teachers . Now, therefore, at the conclusion of this brief scholastic soiourn and because of their sincere efforts in our behalf and of their forbearing patience and pleasant friendships with us, we, the Staff of this l938 GOTHIC, as representatives of the i938 Senior Class, are happy to dedicate this book to our teachers . FACULTY MR. BINFORD Superintendent MR. WOODWARD School Board MISS FLEENER Clerk M RS. BAKER School Board MR. RENAKER School Board MRS. COFIELD Clerk MR. PHILLIPS Dean of Boys MRS. KRUECER Dean of Ciirls MRS, CARDWELL Mimeograph Clerk DR. SIMON Principal ADMINISTRATION The Bloomington city schools have had as their superintendent in the past, several men who are outstanding as school administrators. Mr. H. E. Bin- ford, our present superintendent, is no exception. Before accepting the superintendency of the Bloomington schools three years ago, he was connected with the adminis- strative department of the Louisville city schools. When Mr. Binford came to Bloomington, he did not come as a total stranger, for he had formerly been principal of Bloomington High School. Since his return as head of the entire system he has given a very commend- able and high type of service which we sincerely hope may continue for many years. With the resignation of Mr. V. L. Tat- lock as principal of B. H. S., all Bloom- ington students of high school age quite naturally were curious as to the abilities of his successor. However, with the advent of the new year, Dr. Donald L. Simon, our new principal, soon proved himself to be more than capable of administering the duties of his office and of coping with the many problems presented. Coming to B. H. S. from the superintendency of the Grif- fith, Indiana schools, Dr. Simon has since won the admiration and friendship of the student body. At the close of his first year the en- tire system joins in wishing him many more successful years at B. H. S. Page eleven MISS CARITHERS English MISS COFFEY English MISS WELLONS English MRS.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Stepping from beneath April Showers, the junior class election passed out honors to limmie Noland, who was chosen president, Mary Susan Schmalz, vice-president, Betty Fraser, secretary, and Margaret Anne Torphy, treasurer, May found written in its book of treats Auf Wiedersehen in gaudy letters, and tipped off the seniors of '37 to the fun and frolic that was held in their honor in the gym on the fourteenth. Holding on to September's scorching fingers, the GOTHIC campaign blustered in with a handshake and a pocket of promises, and went out to the tune of Editor Lloyd Dyer and Business Manager Nat Hill. October scratched some appointments on a frosty window and the GOTHIC began to take on color and life. ln November the senior play season donned its wig and mask by way of Big Hearted Herbert. A cast starring Ted Bockstahler and Lela lane Ross gave two evenings of fun and enjoyment and received compliments galore. The Senior Swing dotted lanuary's clean sheet as an evening of fun went with the wind. A mellerdramer clothed in moiderly yells, train whistles, and villain coises, Mr. Ferguson's tapping toes, and the usual two by four squirming filled the evening with unforgettables. All of March's gusty puffs were transformed into hearty laughs as he witnessed the Seniors devouring the Faculty on the hardwood floor and a masculine ballet of Senior buttercups topped the fun at the Spring Swing. With winter's ghost holding dainty blooms in decrepit fingers, April I saw the class conclude their second dramatic hit, Night of january l6, and decorated her twentieth with the gala affair-Senior Reception. Glorious May smiled tenderly on Seniors dancing at the junior-Senior Prom, willing their merits on Class Day, hushed and still at Baccalaureate, stuffing and groaning at the Senior Banquet, and lastly, serious and a little sad, receiving a diploma for four years well spent.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Bloomington's first Honor Society was organized in i927 at which time it became a member of the National Honor Society. The purpose of fostering and maintaining high scholastic standards, which are scholarship, service, leadership, and character, has remained the same during the past twelve years. With these standards serving as a basis, the faculty elected thirty-eight members from the upper one-fourth of this year's senior class. These students were proud to be eligible to wear the small gold pins bearing the torch of knowledge. Members are initiated annually in an impressive ceremony staged in the auditorium. The alumnibanquet is held each spring.

The members of this national honorary dramatic society have been very busy all year preparing speeches, planning banquets, as well as coaching the plays. Regular meetings are held at the homes of the various members where current plays, books, shows, actors, and other stage news are cfscussed.

The Bloomington High School Chapter received its charter in l93l and since that time a total of 75 members have passed through its portals. ln l935 at the time ofthe Franklin Press Convention Charles A. Wells, prominent cartoonist and journalist, was inducted into honorary member- ship in the organization. Since that time the local chapter has been known as the Charles A. Wells Chapter. While the group exists solely as an honorary organization it has had during the past year one active function, namely, that of preparing a B. H. S. handbook. This book has been prepared for the purpose of acquainting in- coming students with Bloomington High School. The guide is to be pub- lished next fall.

To publish or not to publish a Gothic -that was the question. The' answer?-we'll let you guess. There followed immediately a whirlwind election campaign such as never before was seen in B. l-l. S. Lloyd Dyer and Nat l-lill rode in on the election returns to the posts of editor and business manager, respectively. A subsidiary staff of eighteen was soon chosen and work was started im- mediately. The aims of this staff have been to publish a book that is different, to show good taste throughout its pages, and to give a realistic view of life in B. H. S. Whether we have succeeded or not is a matter of personal lor publici opinion. Whatever the case, though, we extend to the class of I939 our best wishes for the eternal quest for a bigger and better annual.

M r ,r I'rryw sixlrr-Irrru BOYS' COUNCIL Due to the growing acclaim during the past tew years for student representation, Bloomington High School has created the Student Council which is composed of the Boys' and Crirls' Councils. A Girls' Council has existed in B. H. S. tor several years but it was only last tall that a Boys' Council was organized under the sponsorship ot lVlr. Phillips, dean ot boys. Each home room in the school may elect one repre- sentative to each council to represent its interests. The Boys' Council during the past year has held regular meetings twice a month at which time its activities were planned. Among the activities in which the Boys Council has participated in collaboration with the girls' branch have been the sponsorship ot The Christ- mas Cheer Drive and of the numerous tea and all-school dances. The groups have also acted as ushers and hosts at the basketball games and at the Debate Tourney. The Cirls' Council, composed ot tifty-four girls, was reorganized this year with one representative elected from each home room. With Mrs. Krueger sponsoring the council, the aims and purposes were to promotebet- ter school spirit, closer relations between faculty and students, and higher moral standards. During the first tew days of school, a committee ot girls furnished general information to all new students, then as classes wererbetter or- ganized, the officers of the council entertained all freshmen girls with a tea. Other students were entertained throughout the year by the numerous matinee dances in the gymnasium and the evening sport dances for high school students and guests. The spring style show presenting Easter styles and clothing made in sewing classes was one of the year's largest affairs, The girls also cooperated with the Boys' Council in collecting and de- livering Christmas baskets and in welcoming visitors at the ball games.

The Hi-Y Federation in i938 is composed of three individual clubs to which a total of 94 members now belong. The Torch Club for the junior high school, under the sponsorship of lvlr. Hunter, has a roll of l8. Mr. Stubbs has again sponsored the Freshman-Sophomore group of 37 members while the junior-Senior branch has a membership of 39 and has been under the guiding hands of Mr. Harmon and Mr. McAdams. The entire Federation is under the control of the faculty advisory council, Mr. Lorin Ashbaucher, Federation sponsor, has been the guiding light in directing the achievements of the organization for the past ten years. Weekly meetings at which prominent persons are featured as speakers, pot luck suppers, socials, basketball parties, and other similar activities make up the yearly programs of the three groups. The Federation, meeting monthly, has staged several delightful social affairs during the year. A Chinese Chop Suey supper with real Chinese cooks serving the meal, and an Oyster Supper, at which Mr. B. R. jones from the University Y. lvl. C. A. was the guest speaker, were chief among these. The Hi-Y also co-operated with the Blue Triangle in the sponsorship of the Pre-Thanksgiving, Pre-Christmas and Pre-Easter services. Page sixty-five Row Row Row Row Doris Dobson. I-Garland Bennett.

One hundred twenty girls composed this year's Blue Triangle which is the branch of the Young Women's Christian Association for junior and senior girls of high school age. Miss Martin, Miss Coffey, and Miss Grant sponsored the club. The goals of each member and the purposes of the club are to face life squarely and to find and give the best. The new members were initiated at a very impressive ceremony held at the Christian Church early last October. The first party for the members was a folk-night dinner at which folk stories, songs, and dances were demon- strated. The Pre-Thanksgiving, Pre-Christmas, and Pre-Easter services were again sponsored jointly by the Blue Tri and the Hi-Y. Other means of entertainment were the Valentine party, the Blue-Tri Sing, the March of Time Party, and the April Musicale. Those girls who gave the greatest amount of service to the club during the year were awarded Girl Reserve rings at the annual ring breakfast. The seasons activities were concluded by the Mother and Daughter Banquet on the ninth of May, at which time the I939 officers were appropri- ately installed and welcomed.

The seventy-six freshman and sophomore girls who compose the Silver Triangle have as their motto to tincl and give the best which is the same as that ot all other Young Women's Christian Association branches. The year's meetings of the club proved very interesting because of the variety ot the subjects represented. Miss Stuart ot the Home Economics Department illustrated early spring styles to the members at one of the meetings. Other programs consisted ot the appearance of Dr. Swartz at the Thanksgiving meeting, a group of readings and stories given by the members tor the Christmas program, and the appearance of Miss Winitred Merrill ot the Standing -Nancy Haskett, vice-president.

Club meetings were held each month in room 427 at which time plans for social and business affairs were discussed. Some of the outstanding social events of the year were the annual Halloween Party, two skating parties, the barn yard frolic, and the presentation of a play. Representatives from the club and the Commerce Department attended the annual contests at Central Normal and Ball State Teachers' Colleges.

The activities of the band this year included several new projects which proved very successful due to the excellent cooperation of the seventy-four members and the two hundred members of the Par- ents' Organization. Among these activities were the indoor circus known as the Gym-Gems, the Round- the-World Cruise which typified music of various countries, and numerous public appearances at the grade schools, convocations, and ball games. With the proceeds from the Plunko Peanut circus, the parents' membership cards, and the foot- ball balloon sale, new capes and instruments were purchased. Since the band now has a uniform ap- pearance, the marching formations have been greatly improved. The formations for lVlr. Ghost Goes To Town and Harvest Moon will long be remembered as clever ideas worked into marching formation by the group. As usual, Bloomington participated in the state band and orchestra contests and was represented at the annual music clinic in which a concert is given by an all-state band and orchestra. The selections are the required numbers of the state contests, and the directors are from large music schools. The sixty-four members of the orchestra are to be congratulated on the excellent reputation estab- lished by them this year. They, together with the band and theater orchestra of 30 members, have made over 65 public appearances at several concerts, convocations, plays, and grade school programs. Both the band and orchestra, as well as twelve soloists and nine ensemble groups were entered in the annual high school music contests held at Cannel- ton and Lafayette this year. Philip Ferguson in baton twirling and two student directors were also entered in these contests. Because of one remaining first division winner from the previous national contest and several other outstanding musicians, Blooming- ton ranked very high among the competing schools. These contests afforded excellent opportunities for individual players to listen to and learn about the various instruments in which they are interested.

ORCHESTRA Page seventy-one Continually working behind the scenes in Bloomington High School is the OPTIMIST staff which is ceaselessly engaged in the seemingly endless task of getting out an OPTIMIST each week. Closely connected with the primary objective of presenting a news picture of school life is the fulfill- ment of the desire to create a paper that can be looked upon as worthy, through its exellence, to represent B. H. S. Composed of past and present students in journalism ll classes, its members are not experts, but rather beginners who are content to write for the sheer joy of writing. This staff, under the leadership of Miss Dorothy Robertson, adviser, has a full calendar of activities throughout the entire school year in addition to the weekly task of getting out an edition. Delegates are sent to the State Press Convention at Franklin College each October. This convention is attended by similar delegations from high schools over the state and features headline personalities from the world of journalism on its program. Spring brings with it the annual pilgrimage to the Butler journalism Field Day. Speakers from Indianapolis newspapers and excursions through city newspaper plants constitute an attractive program.

To satisfy the demands of this host of students would be far too great a task for a single librarian. Because of this condition and for the purpose of giving training in lib work to interested students, the library training class been organized. ra ry has Members of the class, which is open to juniors and seniors, are required to give one period a day to work in the library and also one afternoon each week in order that the after-school demand may be accommodated. The class, under the direction of Miss Ella Davidson, librarian, meets once a week in regular recitation. One credit is given for one year of work in the course. Not only do these members of the library staff greatly assist the librarian and the entire student body, but they are en- abled to learn the clock-work of a library and its procedure. During the many years that library classes have per- formed their functions in B. H. S. our libraries have grown bigger and better and have been able to efficiently meet the mounting demands of an ever increasing enrollment.

NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE Page .sc'Ue'n.fy-four Outstanding speakers of Bloomington High School who possess a high scholastic average are eligible to become members of the Na- tional Forensic League upon the completion of certain requirements. To qualify for membership in this honorary organization a stu- dent must participate in interscholastic forensic contests to the extent of qualification for the Degree of Merit and, in addition, must rank in the upper two-thirds of his class. Upon acceptance into membership, work toward the goal of a Degree of Distinction, which is the highest degree attainable, begins. lt is the purpose of the N. F. L. to promote the interests of in- terscholastic debate, oratory, and public speaking by encouraging a spirit of fellowship and by conferring upon deserving candidates a worthy badge of honor. For the seventh time, the Bloomington Invitational Debate Tourney was again conducted this year. Ben Davis High School copped first place while our own team, ranking fourth, nevertheless triumphed over her traditional rival, Bedford. On the B. H. S. team were Len Bunger, Louise Foster, Dick Reed, Sydney Robinson, Paul Visher, Patty Lou Wingert, and others from the Debate Team. Resolved: That the State of Indiana should adopt a unicam- eral system of legislature has been the subject of many a spirited forensic battle as the year i937-38 saw Bloomington High School further its Demosthonean reputation. Lead by a new coach, lvlr. Darrell Gooch, the team has had a successful season which was climaxed by participation in the State Tournament. The local orators came through the District meet at Seymour with flying colors only to meet defeat at the hands of Wiley of Terre Haute in the zone meet. In the District tourney Bloomington reversed the tables in its traditional rivalry with Bedford who last year had been returned victor. The curtain on the present season was run up as the team at- tended the Eighth Annual Debate Conference at Purdue. ln january the actual debating season got under way. The Annual Bloomington Invitational Debate Tourney was held on the fifteenth with the locals finishing in fourth place. An entry list of sixteen schools made this the largest tourney since the event was initiated seven years ago. A squad of debators was also entered in an Invitational Tourney held in Terre Haute.

Those students wishing to have further opportunities in dramatics, to better their diction, to improve their tastes in productions, and to be given a chance to express themselves may be chosen as members of the Proscenium Players. Choices are made by the Thespians, Mrs. Childs, Mr. Gooch, and Miss Wellons on thebbasis of the quality of talent displayed at a tryout tor the c u . Various one act plays which are coached by Thespians are given by the members at each of the monthly meetings. Two three-act plays were presented this year. This year's play, The Fool and Abie's Irish Rose, both proved quite successful and met the approval ot both audiences. i A new enterprise was undertaken this year when the last meeting was held as Open l-'louse or Guest Night. Each member was allowed a certain number ot tickets for his par- ents or friends who might be interested in dramatics. Two one act plays were presented.

NATIONAL SCIENTIFIC HONOR SOCI ETY The National Scientific Honor Society which was the junior Academy of Science is now eight years old in this state. Its purpose is to assist in the development of scientific attitude in the secondary schools and to encourage students to follow up urges which may function in later life in the career of the individual. The membership is selected from a list of applicants who have a B or better in science and citizenship and who rank high in courage, service, character, scientific scholarship, and leader- ship which are the five cardinal points considered by the or- ganization. The club has one social function a semester and takes in new members once a school year. Students in both Senior and junior High School are eligible. At stated meetings routine business, demonstrations, and talks by members and outside speakers are featured while the main yearly meeting is the state conclave held in conjunction with the Indiana Academy of Science which is the sponsoring body. Here the members take their contributions and compete in exhibits with similar organizations over the state.

The B Men's Athletic Association was reorganized in Bloom- ington High School immediately following the Victory Banquet held in honor of the I938 football team which had just completed a suc- cessful season. Although a B lVlen's Athletic Association had for- merly functioned in B. H. S., it had become inactive several years back. The new organization is made up of those boys who have earned a letter through their participation in some school sport. Officers elected to guide the organization through its first year were Gilbert East, president, Mike Thrasher, vice-presidentg and Dick Letsinger, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Mumby, head football and wrestling coach, and Mr. Baker, his assistant, were chosen as the sponsors. Deeming it advisable to effect the reorganization by means of a constitution, a draft was drawn up by an appointed committee and subsequently adopted by a vote of the members. The purposes of the association are to promote a better under- standing between the various athletic branches, to create an im- proved spirit of cooperation between the general and athletic activi- ties of the school, to create a more wholesome respect for the B and the ideals for which it stands, and to create a spirit of good fellowship among the school Iettermen. The association sponsored an all school play for the benefit of the service fund and have tried to create a better spirit among the fathers toward athletics by organizing a fathers' club. Page seventy-eight The girl athletes of Bloomington High School are organized to form the Girls' Athletic Association under the leadership of Miss Siebenthal. The members are all quite active in various sports, and the club itself is becoming more popular each year. The purpose of the club is to increase interest in girls' sports, to give the girls a chance to continue their activities after they are no longer taking physical education as a part of their regular schedule, and to earn letters and class numerals as awards for participation. The after school sports in which the members participate are soccer, tennis, volley ball, basketball, baseball, dancing, and deck tennis. Quite often on Saturdays the girls go on extended breakfast or luncheon hikes. No matter what time they go, what they do, or when they get back, the members always seem to spend very enjoy- able hours together. As a means of entertainment, a kid party was given in the gym- nasium, with short dresses, anklets, low-heeled oxfords, large hair bows, and dolls predominating. This spring the class of modern dancers from the university gave a demonstration for the C.A.A. members. Twice a year initiation services are held for those girls who have earned the required number of points for membership. Standing-Marcelle LaMaster, president.

Page seventy-nina To further interest in vocal activities and provide entertainment for various occasions, the high school C-lee Club and Girls' Chorus are sponsored by Miss Schwend with approximately sixty-six vocally talented student members. After several special rehearsals, the C-lee Club presented its first program for the double convocation in November. The feature of this program was Kipling's Recessional, the solo parts of which were sung by Eithel C-alloway. The next public appearance of the club was at the November Parent-Teacher meeting, then carols, hymns, and songs of other countries composed the Christmas convocations in December. Sev- eral days before Christmas vacation the building was filled with music as the halls joyously resounded, for the Clee Club members were carolling through the halls. The patients in the hospital, older people of the city, convalescent students, the Simons, the Bin- fords, and several other local people were also carolled just before Christmas. The lvlarch Parent-teacher program and two full convocations during National Music Week were provided by Clee Club members, and since they were special guests at the Parent-Teacher Association family night, they gave a short program following the dinner. The Glee Club brought both its series of programs and the school year's activities to a close when they sang, as usual, for the i938 Baccalaureate services.

CHRISTMAS CH EER DRIVE ''Tomatoes-potatoes-sugar-rice . . was the warehouse hum in IO6 as student Santas flooded the room with materials for the filling of the annual Christmas cheer baskets just prior to the Christmas vacation. The school wide campaign for foodstuffs, conducted on Decem- ber ZO, ZI, and 22, was this year for the first time, under the direc- tion of the Student Council. The Council cooperated with Mrs. Waldron, head of county welfare work, in the delivery of the baskets. Collections were made through home rooms with the council delegates managing the campaign in each home room. Articles solicited were coffee, sugar, navy and pinto beans, rice, canned fruit, jelly, Irish potatoes, and onions. Several baskets were filled by some enterprising rooms. Wearable clothing was also donated to the city welfare agency for distribution to needy families. Included in the drive was the erection and trimming of a Christ- mas tree for the front hall. The tree was donated by the Hi-Y and decorated by the Student Council and Commercial Club. The picture on this page shows but a minute representation of the some one hundred and seventy-five baskets filled by the stu- dents of Bloomington High School.

JUNIOR GIRL RESERVES In l924 Bloomington High School found that among her many other organizations there had come into existence the junior C-irl Reserves under the sponsorship of Miss Smith. The membership at that time included girls in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Since that time, however, a third branch of the Young Womens Christian Association has been or- ganized in this school and membership in the junior C-irl Reserves is now confined to girls in the junior High School. The club throughout its fourteen years has endeavored to find and give the best , to face life squarely , and to serve others sincerely . Miss English is now the sponsor of the organization which has sixty members. As has been its custom since its founding, the club initiated its new members with an impressive candle light ceremony. During the year it has had as its guests several speakers from the school faculty, from the Silver Triangle, and from its own membership. lt has also enjoyed numerous other activities and has performed several services for the school.

FUTURE FARMERS Organized solely for students interested in the agrarian arts, the Future Farmers of America organization has become more and more important to agriculture students since its founding in l932. The popularity of an organization of students interested in agriculture has grown in the last few years until this year there are l l2 such organiza- tions in the state. The Bloomington chapter, sponsored by Mr. 1. O. james, alternately holds weekly evening and school meetings in the course of the year. Each - member of the organization carries on some home project, and a contest is X held at which each member must exhibit some form of his project. This year's award of a silver cup was won by Ralph Rogers. The Future Farmers have been very active this year, making their an- nual trip to the Purdue experimental farm, touring Kingan's Packing Plant, h and entering both shucking and seed corn contests, in addition to regular ' X. club activities such as parties, moving pictures, and club meetings. Financially the club exists through a small fee charged members each semester and profits from a stand run at home football games. Standing-Martha lean Stone, president.

COMMERCE Hl-LITES STAFF Newly established in B. H. S. is the Commerce Hi-Lites, a featurized, mimeographed newspaper issued monthly by the Commercial Club. The paper first came into existence last year as a special activity of the Commercial Club at the suggestion of Mr. R. O. Williams. This year under the editorship of Helen Slinkard and the sponsorship of Mrs. Stradling, Miss Lett, and Miss Unger the Commerce Hi-Lites has reached a total circula- tion of l2O copies monthly. On November l3, representatives of the staff attended the Fifth An- nual Conference of the Mimeograph Paper Association at Central Normal College in Danville. At this convention many new ideas were gleaned from ten newspapers published by groups attending. Also it may be said that a great deal of pleasure was derived from it according to accounts of those at- tending. During the year the staff of Commerce Hi-Lifes has endeavored to give the school entertaining and practical articles, and editorials written by Mr. Binford, Dr. Simon, Mr. Murray and others of the faculty. Page eighty-three BK5 HEARTED l4ERBERT Placesl House lightsl Curtain! was the whispered signal back stage as the purple drapes opened on none other than Big Hearted Herbert, the first senior play of the year. This hilarious three act comedy presented the situation in which the father of a family wanted to be just a plain man with a cuspidor and the mother and children wished to elevate themselves in society. Packed with a capacity crowd on Thursday and Friday, November 4 and 5, this senior play production not only pleased its audience, but proved a great financial success.

Because of his foolish ideas he is rejected by every class of people to whom he goes. Finally he discovers happiness in the slums by operating Overcoat Hall.

ES RISH ROSE The humorous situations arising between an Orthodox-jewish hero and an Irish-Catholic heroine provided laughs tor a capacity crowd at the pre- sentation of Abie's Irish Rose, the Proscenium Players' second play ot the year. Presented on the night ot March ll in the high school auditorium, this play, recently released for amateur production, starred Max Coan as Able. Patty Lou Wingert in the title role, and Chalmers Coyert as Abie's father, The complications arising trorn the three marriage ceremonies and the continuous chatter ot the two jewish neighbors combined to make the play one ot the hits ot the year. NIGHT OF JANUARY l6 Gentlemen ot the jury, on the sixteenth ot january-near midnight- the body ot a man came hurtling through space and crashed a disfigured mass at the toot of the Faulkner Building. Thus began the complaint ot District Attorney Flint in Night of january l6th, a new and sensational play, presented by the class ot '38 on the nights ot March 3l and April l. Packed with thrills, surprises, novelties, and the uncertainty ot the tuture outcome, the trial of Karen Andre tilled the high school auditorium two nights in a row and lett all B, H. S. talking. Page eiglliy-five RE 'N' THERE The Plaq.-iime Parade THE SPORTS RE IEW Intramurals For Boys Resumed Through the newly re-inaugurated in- tramural sports system, the boys of Bloomington High School were given the privilege during l937-38 to participate in a large variety of sports. l An intramural program had formerly existed under the supervision of Mr. Phillips but was discontinued a few years ago. The reorganized program has been under the sponsorship of Mr. Bucher, head of the boys' physical education de- partment, and Mr. Brogneaux, his assis- tant. The main purpose behind the intra- mural program is to provide physical training for boys in sports of their own choice. Boys who no longer are taking physical education as a part of their regular programs are through this medium given a chance to participate. Each month an average of 700 boys engaged in the program, which was car- ried on from October through May. The program of activities was divided into monthly units with tournaments being staged in each of the sports of- fered. Champs were determined in the following sports: box hockey, side walk tennis, paddle tennis doubles, loop tennis, horseshoe pitching, tether ball, shuffle board singles and doubles, deck tennis singles and doubles, foul shooting, volley ball, ping-pong singles and doubles, bas- ketball, softball, and soccer. Also included in the program were several tournaments in the grade schools which were under the direction of Mr. Brogneaux. A system whereby a boy might earn an intramural letter was worked out. Points were awarded for each activity with a total of 425 entitling one to a letter. Included in the intramural sports sys- tem was the noon league contests for boys riding the busses to school. This program was under the direction of Mr. Bretz and was divided into two sports, covering the year, Basketball, with two leagues partici- pating, was played until the weather per- mitted the playing of baseball outside. The basketball program was divided into two periods with a champion being crowned for each period. Page eighty-eight GRIDDERS END SEASON WITH GOOD RECORD Mat Artists Capture 3rd In State Meet Lacking somewhat the showmanship of the pro grunt and groansters, Blooming- ton High School's mat team, nevertheless, copped third place in the state tourna- ment in l938. Not only that, but the beefy boys won five out of seven dual meets during the season to make a mild grand slam for Coach Mumby this year. For their outstanding muscle puffing. eight boys were awarded wrestling let- ters. They were: Mike Thrasher, state champion in the 95-pound divisiong loe Sparks, king of the l05 poundersg and Ben Bruce and Drexel Hughes runners-up in l55 and l35 respectively. Other B bearers for the team are Nat Hill, Bob Patty, lrvin Chitwood, and Ben Wil- son. The award selections were made on a different basis this year. Formerly one of Mumby's prodigies had to win first, second, or third in the state tourney to be considered, for the B Men's As- sociation. The present requirements are: ill Participate in and win 6O'k of the dual meets, and qualify for the state tournament, or 121 Win first, second, third, or fourth in the championship eliminations. The victims of Mumby's mangling mat team were Bedford, who kissed the mat twice, Southport, whose lads did like- wise, and Muncie, yielding once. Their only conqueror was Bedford, who turned the tables twice. One of the sidelights of the season was the tape twisting of Winston Bed- well, senior kit toter. The team attributes much of its phenomenal success to in- spiration from Bedwell's medicinal man- agement. Due on deck next year to resume the gymnastic wars, are Captain joe Sparks, Dennis Norman, lrvin Chitwood, Charley Teague, Bob Patty and a corps of other experienced men who have been out dur- ing the past year. May good fortune attend their skin. Finish Runners-Up In S.I.A.C.g 7 of 9 Opponents Beateng Hardisty Stars Dame Fortune smiled on Blooming- ton's football fate in 1937 as B. H. S. enjoyed its most successful season in recent years. Coach Mumby's stalwarts chalked up seven victories in a nine game schedule to take second place in the Southern ln- diana Athletic Conference. The purple team opened its season by entertaining the Bloomfield Cardinals with Russell Hardisty pulling the game out of the fire by virtue of a sparkling l0l yard touchdown dash in the closing seconds of play. Score: 7-O. The Manual Redskins came down for the next game and bit the dust to the tune of 20-6. In their first foreign tilt the Panthers for the first time tasted defeat, losing to Sullivan 27-7. There followed two easy victories as the Washington Hatch- ets retired 20-0 and the Linton Miners were undermined by 26 points. Hardisty continued to shine. lnvading Columbus, the Mumbymen came home conquered 6-0. The season ended in a blaze of glory as Bicknell lost 33-6, Vincennes dittoed, 7-0. and jason- ville faded cn the zero end of 27 points. During the season B. H. S. scored a total of l47 points to their opponents' 45. They won six shut-out games while being held to no points in only one bat- tle, the Columbus fracas. Twelve lettermen, including Chalmers Goyert, Dale Mishler, Acton Nunn, Drexel Hughes, Ben Bruce, and Harold Roberts in the line and Russell Hardisty, Dick Miller, Bob Cummings, Ben Wilson, lack Cook, and Bob Young in the back- field, riddle the ranks through graduation. Six lettermen remain as a nucleus for a future dreadnaught. Highlight of the local post-season was a banquet held at the Masonic Temple on December 9 in honor of the victorious squad.

Netters Win 7 Ol 25 Gomes Handicapped by having only one re- turning letterman, Captain Eithel Gallo- way, Bloomington's basketball team won only 4 games in a schedule of l9. The team opened warfare at home against Crawfordsville, who departed vic- torious 32-27g after which Seymour, boasting a splendid team, walloped the home lads 36-27. On December 3, the Panthers branded Bicknell 32-lO, only to eat a humble pie when Bedford came to town to paste us 33-l9. Longing for the sweet taste of victory, we motored to Evansville and eked out a 26-24 victory over Bosse. Caravaning up 37 to do battle with Pearcy and Co. of Martinsville, Curtis' lucky lads eyelashed us 23-20. On December 29, we tangled with Tipton, Richmond, and Central in a blind tourney at Evansville. Tipton knocked us out in the first game and Richmond took the consolation scrap. Still vagabonding, B. H. S.'s next port of call was Shortridge where the Blue Devils knocked us to perdition, 36-23. Meeting the Happy Hunters of Hunting- burg on january 5, the locals were scalped 39-l6 on the home floor. We took our first victory of l938 in our own parlor january 7. The victim- Princeton. The tally sheet-22-l7. Then in rapid succession our Panthers were downed first by Sullivan 34-28, by Linton 36-30 ldecidedly an upsetl, next by the Artesians on our own linoleum 27-2l, and again by Bedford 29-l6. The Bretzmen bumped off New Al- bany 23-22 here january 22 for the sea- son's biggest upset. The Columbus fray, due january 28, was postponed until Feb- ruary l2 because of a local measles epi demic. In the interim the locals engaged with Reitz for a 38-36 loss and bowed to Central of Evansville 47-38. The follow- ing Saturday night, Columbus came to town and booted the municipal crew 47-28. Alice of old Vincennes came trucking into B. H. S. February l8 and shagged home with a 35-24 victory. Still fighting grimly the Panthers wound up the sea- son February 25 at Washington bowing to Wendel Walker's gang 3l-30. Surprising pessimistic dopesters, the locals went to the finals in the sectional only to lose to Curtis' crew 29-25.

CUBS HA VE .563 TRACK LOSES PERCENTAGE TO GOTHIC ln l937-38, their first year under Coach Brogneaux, the Cub basketball team won 9 games and suffered 7 losses for a percentage of 563. Their victims were: Bedford l4-ll, Martinsville l6-l4, Shortridge 2l-l8, the Freshmen 40-9, Sullivan 23-l5. Linton 26-7, the Freshmen l5-8, Stines- ville lvarsityl 24-ll, and Washington 20-l8. The list of their conquerors includes: Crawfordsville l5-7, Seymour 28-l8, Bicknell 20-l7, Martinsville 24-l9, Bed- ford l9-l7, Columbus 35-l8, and Vin- cennes l9-l3. Several of the boys gave high point performances on various occasions. ln the first Bedford game, Gib East, who grad- uated to the varsity, starred with 6 points. Against Martinsville December 22, junie Forsythe scored 9 points and against the Freshmen, january 7, Lowell Clark snagged l3 tallies. The following night against Sullivan, Bob Galloway totaled lO. On january 2l, Lowell Clark gave another fine performance by scoring IO points. Against the Stinesville varsity on Feb- ruary 4, Fred Huff picked up l3 points, and with the Columbus Seconds as op- ponents, Bob Galloway scooped in 7 points eight nights later. ln the matter of traditional rivalries, the Seconds broke even with Martinsville and Bedford. l When the Gothic had said its prayers and was tucked into bed, the track stars were just in the middle of their pre- season training grind. Consequently, we can not give you the results of the sea- son. You will have to be content with the prospects. At that date, everything seemed hunky-dory. Six lettermen had returned to the cinder wars to be aided and abetted by some outstanding numeral wearers. ln the dash events were Ralph Cum- mings, Don Sparks, Zane Cannon, and Russ Hardisty. The latter, in a practice spin, did the 60 yards within one-tenth of a second of the state record. Russell Brcwn and Garth Duncan were doing the hurdle hopping. ln the middle distance group we found Lefty Galloway, Bob Smith, and Howard Mitchell, with the Hayden Bros., Bob and Ray, doing the full distances. On the field, Ray Steffey pole vaulted and Lefty Galloway and Ralph Cummings did the broad jump. Without doubt Coach Bretz has found suitable men for the un-- filled ranks. As for the schedule: On April l6, the Brazil spike and cinder artisans paid us a visit, and on April 20, there was a night meet-the Southport Relays. Alice of old Vincennes was host for the SIAC Meet on April 30. May 7 we corn- peted in the Petersburg Relays and the Sectional came May l4.

They were such excellent students that all were exempt from examinations and Dr. Woodburn, to celebrate the event, en- tertained them at his home. Thus a real mark was made in the creation of a recognized high school. Two years later 5l students enrolled and two teachers were engaged. We may smile, yet they were real people striving to fulfill a real dream. They were so earnest and so uncertain was their encouragement, financial support, and ultimate success. The narrow smug state- ment- What education I had is good enough for any son of mine -that many a man had made, was fought courageously in that simple school. From l89O the strict set course of study blossomed forth to snare the extra activi- ties that would cushion the hard seat of learning-the first awarding of scholar- ships, the first school savings bank, the first reception of juniors for the Senior Class. That predominate word first . How proud of it they must have been.

We of today know it well. We still race madly over to it on rainy days and saunter vaguely toward it when the sun feels warm and comfortable on our bare arms. Old Seminary of today is still sending out students into the world of tomorrow. Hardly waiting for the scholars to get ad- justed, the even then elderly building burst into flames. The town counteracted by wasting hardly a moment before work to resurrect the old faithful structure was be- gun, and only a short time intervened before school went on. With the birth of the 20th Century, athletics in the form of track was intro- duced and the superiority of Bloomington l-ligh's boys proven by the team copping the South Central Track Meet. Not satisfied, four years later the now experienced cinder men tied for first place in an interscholas- tic meet at Louisville.

Class day was introduced through continued efforts of stu- dents whose pride for their school flared in every instant. Athletics, now able to rest on its laurels, was firmly established by the organization of an athletic association. Promising young journalists issued The Specula which became another real achievement for the school, as did the first high school annual that encored the paper. ln l909 the familiar Gothic flamed across the purple and white cover of the latest publication. That year's seniors distinguished themselves by being the largest graduating class i631 ever to leave the portals of the Seminary. In l9l4, as an out-shoot of the suffrage move- ment, the Girl's Council was organized. The same year was celebrated by the transference of the school to the New High School Building at the corners of 2nd and Walnut. l9l9 can be called a red letter year, for the State Basketball Championship crowned the head of our victorious team. A high school band followed by an orchestra formed one more link in the chain of cultural advancement. In l938, just 75 years departed from the one room school house, Bloomington Public High School is the vital pulsing machine of 2,005 students and 75 teachers. l l EMPIRE STONE CO.
