J ' %jgir Club and Actmtie The Winter Carnival, an all-school project, is spon- sored by the Student Council. For the third consecutive year the clubs at B.H.S. united their efforts for one successful night. This year ' s carnival was held on Thurs- day night, February 12. One of the most important events is the crowning of the King and Queen. This contest is sponsored annually by the Silver Triangle. Votes are cast for a girl and boy from each grade level. The King and Queen of this year ' s Winter Carnival were Roger Shields, eighth grader and Janice Thrasher, junior. Miss-issippi, the senior show, The Junior Hayride, junior show, and Captain Kidd ' s Kid, presented by the Proscenium Players also helped to make the Winter Carnival a success. An estimated $900.00 net profit was made. The money goes to help pay for the revision of the Compass, the B.H.S. handbook of information. -A ■ ' '  . - 9 -J V ' yfftUHM Row 1— Jerry Tardy, Linda Hash. Kathryn Bush. Bill Doub. Phillip Farlee.

This was shown by the participation in drives for the Red Cross, March of Dimes, and Tuberculosis Association. Dances after home football and basket- ball games and selling of defense stamps were also sponsored by the Student Council. The Winter Carnival, which was held February 12th, and the All-School Dance, which was March 27th, are two main events which the council sponsors annually. The revision of the Compass, Bloom- ington High School ' s handbook, was another worthwhile project undertaken by the Student Council. This was financed by profits from the Winter Carnival, an all-school production. The council is composed of two representatives from each home room. These students present the ideas of their classmates to the council. These suggestions are discussed and voted upon, and the most worthwhile are carried out. In this way every student has an opportunity to participate in forming the government of the school. Bloomington High School is very proud of this organization. The executive committee also plays an important part in ' the functioning of the school. It is made up of students, elected from each grade level to represent that particular class, plus the officers of the Student Council. The 1953 executive committee consisted of: Jim Butcher, presi- dent; Tom Turpin, vice president; Mary Lou Miller, recording secretary; Ruth McKnight, corresponding secretary; Carter Love, treasurer; Jack Jackson, representing the senior class; Dick Douglas, junior class; Bill Jenkin, sophomore class; Don Rush, freshman class; Linda Hash, eighth grade; and Ronnie Bland, seventh grade.

The purpose of the club is to promote friendship, service, and religious interests. The chorus, under the direction of the sponsor, Mrs. Sarah Franklin, presented ' The Rainbow for the Parent-Teachers Association. The chorus gave a Thanksgiving convocation for the student body and a women ' s organization of the First Christian Church. The Blue Tri Bazaar Booth was the club ' s contribution to the Winter Carnival. Blue Tri annually awards a scholarship to a graduating member who has been prominent in the club ' s activities. This scholarship pays fees for one semester to Indiana University. The candy table project finances the scholarship headed by the service chairman. A service award placque is presented to a member in May. This award is based on the following points: service given to the club, attitude, dependa- bility, co-operation, observation, practice and exemplification of the goals. The Y-Teen in Today ' s World, the program theme for the year I 952- ' 53 , was carried out with panel discussions, movies, and guest speakers under such topics as the Y-Teen in the World of Travels, The World of Books, and The World of Talents . Blue Triangle cabinet members were: Georgiabel Hays, Vernita Elliott, Mary Lou Miller, Clarice Graves, Ruth McKnight, Donna Bruner, Carolyn Brummett, and Alice Rogers.

Orchestra Orchestra is not only a study for credit, but a means of enjoying useful cultural improvement. Mr. Donald Neal, director, and the elected officers lead the group through parties, practices, Pop concerts for parents, and other events which maintain interest in orchestra. The school and community are served each year by the orchestra as its mem- bers produce orchestral concerts, solos, and ensembles. Member participation is recognized on Honor Day by the presentation of the coveted Arian Award to the outstanding senior, as well as the second class, first class, and master musician awards. String Ensemble The String Ensemble is a key, the key of finding pleasures in pursuit of a hobby, for discovering musical harmony, and for gaining entrance to many a pleasant ban- quet hall. The String Ensemble is one of the en- sembles from the orchestra and is com- posed of three violins and a piano. One activity of the group was providing dinner music at banquets. This included playing as a group, solo playing, and duets by members of the ensemble. The members achieved merit points for their playing. Mr. Donald Neal supervised the string ensemble.

Some of the jobs done are painting the sets, the gathering of properties, pro ducing lighting effects, gathering and making the costumes, and applying make-up. Any student of B.H.S. may join if he is willing to work. This club has a point system, whereby a tech staff member earns a specified number of points for the work he does on a play. These points enable a person to become a member of Proscenium Players and add toward Thesoian membership. At the carnival, the technical staff helped many clubs and classes by lending its materials and time. Kenny Beatty and Martin Sweet served as stage managers this year. The stage manager must see that all things are on stage and all actors in their places. This year ' s crew heads were: Bob Strain, technical assistant; Jane Babb, make-up head; Carol Austin, costumes head; and Ann Bissey, properties head. The sponsor is Mr. William Voorhies.

Adviser. Gothic Staff The 1953 Gothic Staff began its work last summer by choosing the theme, designing the cover, and preparing the dummy. Several mem- bers of the staff attended a journalism conference at Indiana University. After school started, the real work began. In addition to the many pictures of clubs and activi- ties that had to be taken, there were also layouts to be made, copy to be written, and individual pictures of all students to be taken. Members of the business staff were kept busy selling advertise- ments to local business firms, and by promoting sales of the Gothic. Staff members put in many hours outside of school in order to get the book completed on time. At the end of the year, deserving staff mem- bers were rewarded for their hard work and interest by being elected to Quill and Scroll. The best re- ward for the whole staff, however, was seeing the completed book, the final product of a year ' s work. GOTHIC STAFF Business Staff Standing left to right: Martha Wray. June Graves.

Optimist Staff Anyone who has ever been affiliated with a newspaper in the making or in the printing will recognize Beat the deadline! as a familiar unwritten journalism law. The Optimist plays an important part in the lives of B.H.S. students by helping them to form or change opinions concerning school problems. In this bi-weekly edi- tion are news items, sports news, features, editorials, and other items of interest. A cub reporter class, which was taught by Ruth McKnight, was organized and held once a week for the benefit of inexperienced reporters. The biggest social event of the year, as far as the Optimist is concerned, is the now annual Op ' Sock Hop , which comes in the spring. The highest position on the staff was held by Duane Wilson, editor-in-chief. Duane will be remembered for his pep talks to the staff and hard work in serving the school through the paper. He was always willing to give advice to the staff, and acted as general supervisor of the paper. Catherine Horstman and Ruth McKnight were co-associate editors. Their duties were numerous and closely related to the work of the editor-in-chief. Mary Lou Miller was feature editor, and Miriam Breneman was news editor. Their, duties were similiar as they assigned and rewrote stories, and did anything that the editor assigned them. Carolyn Brummett was radio news editor and was affiliated with radio and television articles. Carolyn had. frequent broadcasts on WTTS through- out the year. The sports section was extremely well handled by Tommy Douglas, sports editor. Jayma Van Hook, club editor, was solely in charge of club news. OPTIMIST EDITORIAL STAFF Row 1 — Catherine Horstman.

Each year approxi- mately 30 girls are chosen from a group of juniors and seniors on the basis of out- standing character, personality, dependability, punctuality, and courtesy. Being a member of Girl Ushers is quite an honor, as well as another service that the student can give to her school.

Membership was open to any student in senior high school. Club meetings were held during the fifth period on the first and third Tuesdays of every month. . Each member was expected to attend the basketball games in the Second Street Gym and wear the color chosen for that game. Several of their projects were a trip to New Albany for our last basketball game and the mak- ing of crepe paper hats and shakers for the sec- tional and regional tournaments. Officers for 1 952- ' 53 school year were Dick Beikman, president; Jack Jackson, vice president; Jim Butcher, secretary; and John Harrell, treasurer. The sponsors of the club are Miss Ariel Green and Mr. Joe Avery.  Hi 3 i i i 3 Of ♦ , £3l SSr 67. t_ 75 £ s ■ Sft 68 74, w s 55 e 6 60 6 u 66 « k 46i 4 ,51 73 f r Football Gib Apple, junior, tackle, was a main cog in the forward wall . . .

This question is asked daily of the hard- working managers. Being a manager re- quires a lot of hard work, an even temper, and unswerving integrity and honesty. The issuing of equipment, oiling shoes and tran- sporting dirty equipment to the laundry are just a few of the jobs attended to by these boys. Managers have the opportunity of earning awards for their efforts. These awards are quite similar to those received by members of the regular athletic squads.

The squad was led by three- year lettermen Jim Butcher and Jack Jackson, and Ronnie Terrell, a one-year letterman. Coach John Brogneaux ' s squad broke par by placing high in the Southern Indi- ana Athletic Conference Meet. Tennis The B.H.S. tennis team, coach- ed by Mr. Joe Avery, and paced by lettermen Ronnie Tincher and Jim Knapp, climaxed another win- ning season. Even though tennis is a comparatively new sport at Bloomington, Avery ' s tennis teams have established some admirable records. Many individual tennis stars have been trained here at B.H.S. Page 72 This page sponsored by LYON ' S DRUG STORE —Prescriptions, Drugs, Fountain B-Men To become a member of this club a boy must be a major letter winner in one of the eight sports offered at B.H.S. These sports are cross country and football in the fall, basketball and wrestling in the winter, and in the spring track, baseball, golf, and tennis. After a boy has been initiated into the club he is given his official symbol, the B-Pin. The purpose of this organization is to develop student interest in athletics, to promote good feeling among athletes of all sports, and to create acceptable mental, physical, and moral attitudes toward opponents, fellow students, and our school. This year the B-Men Club started something new by having dances after all home wrestling meets. These boys also sponsored a booth at the Winter Carnival. Following the end of the season of each sport, a Parent-Son banguet is held, and the B-Men ' s trophy is awarded to the boy who is voted most valuable by his team mates. This year the initiations consisted of the shining of shoes, opening the doors for the students and faculty, and saluting all B-Men. The officers of the club were Tom Douglas, president; Harry Kleindorfer, vice pre:ident; and Jim Buress, secretary-treasurer. The club was under the sponsorship of Mr. Laverne Burns.

BOOT SHOP £t(t tehtJ ah 4 faculty As seniors we began our last year in high school by electing our class officers during the last week in September. These officers, with the help of our class sponsors, Mrs. Mary Forgy and Mr. Carl Stewart, planned and carried out our program successfully. We sponsored three pep sessions, one during football season and two during basketball season. Our class parties in November and April seemed to bring the class closer together. In April we also got to show off our talent when we presented out senior play Hangman ' s Noose, which was en- joyed by everyone. As the weeks swiftly rolled by, Tramp Day came and passed. Finally, Commencement was up- on us and we said goodbye to many friends, for as the Class of 1953 we must take our place in the outside world. jL, Robert Allen Hi-Y, B-Men, International ] Mona Karen Anderson Commercial Club.

SENIOR PEP SESSION The first senior pep session was held in September before the New Albany- Bloomington football game. The senior girls posed as both Bloomington ' s and New Albany ' s football teams and played a game, with Bloomington winning after rough competition. The senior class mem- bers were New Albany ' s cheering section, and the remaining student body was Bloomington ' s section. The half-time show was given by three senior boys who repre- sented majorettes. SECOND SENIOR PEP SESSION An operation was performed on the Jeffersonville Red Devils to trim them down to size at our second pep session. Dr. John Ramsey performed the opera- tion on the Red Devil player. Bones were placed by the victim ' s side to make it look as if the doctor was pulling the bones out of the player ' s body. The senior class represented Jeffersonville ' s cheering sec- tion with three of the senior boys for yell leaders. J age This page sponsored by J. A. HOWE CANDY CO. Class Party Food and fun were enjoyed by all when the class of 1953 gathered In the girls ' gym for their first senior party of the year. Entertainment was furnished by some of the talented seniors, a group of boys who presented a hillbilly band, while Beth Barrows, Linda Patterson and Sue Groh gave their version of That Good Old Mountain Dew . Social dancing, games, and square dancing were a part of the enjoyment of the evening. The refreshments were cider and doughnuts. Since the party was held near Thanksgiving, as a door prize, a miniature chocolate turkey was awarded to June Graves. Junior Prom Stairway to the Stars , our Junior Prom, was given on May 16 in honor of the class of 1952. Stepping through an enormous silver star, we saw couples danc- ing under a roof of azure blue crepe paper to the enchanting music of Clay Phillips and his band. Completing the star-studded room was a glittering stairway leading to a realistic gold half-moon, the setting for the coronation. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of our King and Queen, Harold Isaacs and Frieda Young, by the retiring rulers, Dean Rainbolt and Jeanine Royer. Prom candidates were Connie Callahan, David Trueblood, Har- old Isaacs, Frieda Young, Catherine Horstman, Linda Patterson, Shirley Hedrick, Janet Rowlett, Cytha Harrell, and Donna Bruner.
