The Pioneer ► r iLi Yearbook Published by The Senior Class of Boonville High School Boonville, Indiana Volume 10 1929 THE PIONEER Alfred E. Bennett To our friend and Pioneer leader, himself a graduate of B. H. S., a brave and daring defender of his country in the World War, and now our well loved principal, we dedicate this first issue of our annual bearing the name “The Pioneer. Page Two 1929 THE PIONEER Our Story The pioneer educators of Boonville failed to leave any records of their early activities in blazing a trail for learning in our community, but from some of the older residents we learn that the school teacher came to the village before the sound of the clearing axes ceased. Our story proper begins in 1X86 when a one room high school was held in the old Gum street building. Fifteen or twenty pupils studied Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Latin. Rhetoric and U. S. History, under the guidance of Prof. O. K Clarke and Prof. Emmerson. For commencement each graduate was required to write an essay on a subject of his own selection. The first class consisted of four hoys and two gills. The enrollment increased with each new year. In 1897 the school was given its commission by the State Board and the course was changed from three to four years. The year 1904 found seventy-five students occupying three rooms in the First Street building, now known as the Ella Williams School. Our present home was built in 1910 to house one hundred sixty students. We now number more than three hundred. Since 1886 there have been nine hundred ninety-six graduates, many of whom have become famous and all useful citizens Until 1906 Prof. Clarke acted as principal along with his other duties as super- visor of schools. Since that time Mr. Skinner. Mr. Lmdley Mr. Seybold Mr Kat- terjohn Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Bennett have had charge of Boonville High School. 1929 Page Three THE PIONEER Literary Staff of The Pioneer Editor-ill-chief—Helen Lowell Assistant- Mary F.

How We Did It At the beginning of the school year all signs pointed to no annual for the class of '2J . At their first meeting the matter was discussed pro and con. The Senior sponsors made all the obstacles and difficulties very clear: five hundred dollars and a great deal of hard work. We were firm in our determination and voted for an annual and all the labor involved. The first test of our will power came with the operetta Cool Knights. Mr. Robinson an- nounced that all proceeds above a certain sum would go to the two upper classe . The division was to he made on the basis of the amount of tickets sold. Both classes needed money, the Juniors for the banquet and the Seniors for the annual. The contest was a lively one; peo- ple had to buv tickets In self-defense when they were caught between a determined Junior and a more determined Senior. The Seniors triumphed in this selling contest by a good margin. Result—some fifty dollars added to our bank account. With our willingness to work proved beyond a doubt the staff, consisting of two divisions, literary and financial, was chosen by the class sponsors and Mr. Bennett. Their first meet- ing turned into a dbcusslon of ways and means of earning more money. Faithful members of the class stood by at games and sold endless candy bars. (Mr. Ben- nett was our best customer.) We were at a loss as to the source of next income when one day a representative of the Crowell Publishing Company visited us and suggested a magazine campaign. We had al- ready started negotiations with Better Homes and Gardens. Soon we were on the streets again. Our profits this time grew to a hundred dollars. The senior play was in the offing so we took a little rest and gave the community time to save a little before we made another attack. Everybody did his share in the play or selling tickets, or both. The play was a big success in every way si our financial worries came to a happy end. The performance of the literary staff can best he judged by the product this hook. 1929 Page Five THE PIONEER Karges, Patmore, Robinson, Roller, Bennett, Dillingham Byers, Grossman, Garrison, Youngblood, MrKown, Hines, Wilson Haas, Role-rt-i, llitcman.

The names of these trembling, but daring, explorers were: Charles Martin, I,avone Hemenway, Edith Miles. Katherine Meyers, Charles Ferguson, Karl Simpson, Henry (load, Harold Griffith, John H.

They were content to go along unorganized the first semester. After a summer's vacation they chose Ray Fuller as their President. Mr. Ott was class sponsor. During this year they were exposed to Caesar. They came, they saw, they were conquered.” Geometry proved a Waterloo to many others. When a new autumn brought the class back to school as 10 A’s about half the class had miraculously disappeared. Some had failed: more ambitious ones had jumped ahead, others had deliberately discontinued all efforts to gain a high school education. This was their last year of separate organization. To work more harmoniously and efficiently in serving the Junior-Senior banquet the Janu- ary and May classes were organized together during the junior year. ' When an accounting was made for the class as seniors, five were discovered who still bore the flag of the unfortunate mid-year class of '29. They were Ray Fuller, John H. Whittinghill, George Day, Bessie Campbell, and Florence Pace. This quintet left school with many regrets, but with best wishes for a bright future for B. H. S. In the fall of year '25 a group of students, forty-five in number, entered B. H. 8. We ranged in size from tall and slender to short and fat. We entered B. H. S. with the color green, hut expected the school to help us change our color as we advanced through our classes. In the freshmen year our girls and boys did not come out v.-ry strong on athletics. We had too much to do in getting acquainted with the school. In our second year of high school we were able to hold up our heads and look the freshmen in the face. This year Helen Lowell, Kathryn Meyer, and Ruth Taylor came out for basketball with Katie Meyer making the team. She started making baskets early. Gerald Hay, Chester Werry, Ed- gar Baum, Charles Kinder. Cecil McKinney and Jarrett Roth held up the reputation of our sophomore class in football. The officers of our sophomore class were Gerald Hay. president, and Edgar Baum, secretary-treasurer. Our sponsor was Miss Bring. Our class was neither increased or decreased in number when we moved on into our third year of high school. In our junior year we had much to do. We had to give the annual Jun- ior-Senior Banquet to the seniors! Oh, to be seniors! They were the stars to whom we had hitched our carts and intended to follow after. We sold theme paper and candy so that we could entertain the seniors and give them enough to eat at the banquet. The seniors seemed to enjoy everything, but were we glad when it was over? At least we could be reconciled by the thought that next year somebody else had to take that trouble for us.' This year two of our classmates. Lenora Bufkins and John Henry Whittinghill, entered debating. The officers Mildred Donnelly, president, John H. Whittinghill, vice-president, and Edgar Baum, secretary- treasurer. Edgar must take good care of our money. Our sponsors and helpers were Miss Youngblood, Miss Bateman, and Mr. Goerlitz. This is our last year of school! Are we glad? All the underclassmen who have seen the way we rushed everything through know the answer to that question. We at last are able to look down on the underclassmen and think over “Ye Good Olde Da yes,” when we were in the same classes. Our class play was the climax of our career. It bore the tempting name The Whole Town’s Talking.” An account of its cast and unusual success can be found in another part of The Pioneer.” Now as the close of our school days approaches, our joy is tinged with regret. We cast a lingering look backward on the pleasant days and pleasant ways of our “Pioneer” school. May Class B. H.

As we leave this school w'e take with us only the sincere love and high respect for the faculty and the students. (Signed) MAY CLASS OF ’29. Robinson Crusoe, Attorney. We Look Into the Future November 20, 1924. 815 Troust Ave., Los Angeles, Calif. BUNNY DEAR: I must tell you of some of my latest experiences. They are so thrilling and exciting. Of course you remember that in my last letter I told you I had changed my mind about marrying. A devoted husband is quite nice indeed. Carl and I arrived home last week from our honevmoon. 1 am very, very happy. You and I did exceedingly well in choosing outsi k of dear old B. H. S., didn’t we? That brings me back to what 1 started telling you. I was riding down town one afternoon and saw a sign which read Don’t fall Grange, the second, Leland Stanford’s famous quarter-back. Game at 2:30. 1 decided to go out to the field and was fortunate In getting a seat near the front. When the team ran out. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the Red Grange to be our own Ray Fuller. Girls He was handsome! I wondered if he was married. When I saw him later he told me of his inter- esting romance with Dorothy Dike. They are to be married soon. While we were in New’ York on our honeymoon I was shopping in one of the most exclusive “Couturieres.” While I was admiring the gorgeous frocks the owner entered. It wasi none other than our petite Florence Pace. Her name is quite different now. Her husband is of for- eign descent. You remember how John Henry tho’ vanquished, could argue still.” I read in a Chicago naner that he is a famous lawyer for divorce cases. Just at present he is greatly occupied in freeing Mrs. Charles Kinder. You will remember her as a little freshman named Eloise. Ru- mor says that John Henry’s interest in the case is more than professional. Some one wrote to me recently about our shining liRht. George Day. W'e a’ways did say he kneThl2 ‘‘tTuci patch follies.” He is the proud possessor of a large orange ove. a wife, and twin sons. It must be nice to be supplied with nice juicy oranges. W'e did have great times in B. H. S.,didn’t we. Bunny dear? perior, class. I shall always remember everyone. Our’s was a small, but su- Devotedly yours, BESSIE PFINGSTON 1929 Page Fifteen THE PIONEER The Prophecy This Is the year 1948 and I have Just heard the election returns and to my surprise Charles Kinder has been elected Governor of Indiana by a great majority. This is very good news to me because Charles was a member of my graduating class of B. H. S. in 1929. When Charles came out for Governor it made me wonder what had become of the rest of my class. How could I find out was a big question not easily solved. Finally I decided to go to a spiritualist fortune teller, whom 1 found out could give me all the necessary information. Chester Werry is a great violinist and is playing in New York. He is very famous and is indeed rushed with engagements. Chester was always very fond of the girls but it seems he has not as yet decided which one he desires. Katy Meyer is out measuring telephone poles for the American Bell Telephone Company. Ruth Taylor is her first assistant. Dorothy Dike has become a renowned artist and her husband is Giotto de Vinci, who is widely known for his famous portraits. William Gardner is now a criminal lawyer for notorious cases. Althais Jeffries is now playing on the Army Team and is America's most noted half-back. Cecil McKinney is now working ns Democratic orator; his rumbling, chesty voice is his primary attraction. Ruth Martin is doing great work as a missionary to the uncivilised nations of India. Henry Goad has developed wings and is now the world’s highest flying ace. Bulu Adams is now the owner of a large chain of mercantile stores. Hilda Wolfe attended college and taught a few' years until her Prince Charming, an artist, having been attracted by her beautiful hair, carried her away. Bill Hay always did like to go from place to place, so he is a traveling salesman. He is a perennial bachelor and has just as much fun having dates as he used to back in his high school days. Mildred Donnelly is now President of the Non-Skid Soap Corporation. Icon Brown is a doctor, who� through research work, has discovered a serum which pre- vents flu. Ben ora Bufkins is a lawyer pleading cases directly opposite William Gardner. Delorls Corn became a very successful nurse but decided, after work and consideration, to change her occuimtion, so she became a wife. Ora Harris is the inventor of a new type of car with the strongest body and easiest gear shift of any car heretofore | atented. Helen Lowell is the dietician of the Brooklyn Hospital in New York. Anne Hoover is the most skillful equestrienne the world has ever known. Mary Frank Sullenger is the owner of the Sullenger Shoe Factory, which puts out the most original and dainty shoes ever worn. Mildred Harry owns La Beaute Shoppe, which has become widely known and patronized. Evelyn Flint has arisen to the height of the most sought after basketball coach. I orothy Traylor now is an author and writes scenarios for the movies, w'hich we see fre- quently. Lavone Hart married Mr. Holden, a millionaire, and is very liberal in her donation to B. H. S. Bertha Bee Bailey, after a five year struggle with chemicals. Is the proud inventor of a medicine that w'ill make you your exact opposite—fat, short, tall, slim. We all know’ Bertha Bee will be changed tremendously. Charles Ferguson has become a barber and loves his work. Mabel Addington has become the w'orld’s most famous woman politician. Doris Edwards owns a famous dancing school and does her own teaching. Thomas Tichenor is now working for Uncle Sam as a revenue officer. Jack Ellis has become another Dempsey and has taken his place as w'orld’s heavy-weight champion. Jarrett Roth has just been elected Mayor of Boon ville on the Prohibition ticket. Thomas Youngblood is the owner and operator of a big ranch in the I one Star State. lone Youngblood is the only one who has become an actress. She is another Clara Bow. Edgar Baum has Joined the navy after going to school and is now an admiral. Marlon Rudolph went to an agricultural school and is now the proud possessor of a fifty- acre farm. Lois Ritter married Mr. Webb and they have just completed their new theatre, which will be known as the “Lover's Palace.” The most notable thing is that only two seats are in each aisle and these of course are joined with one chair arm between.

Friday evening, April 12, all Boonvllle, and some people from elsewhere, crowded Into Clarke gym between 7:15 and 7:30. We thought that there would not be room for everyone, as all the reserved seats were taken, and most of the bleachers filled. The first act was great, and everyone was kept laughing every minute. When Charles Es- kew walked onto the stage attired as a hard working drudge, the audience roared, because they all knew Charles. The crowd was carried away by him, and we suggest that he take up act- ing as a vocation. The second act came on better even that the first. Edgar Baum, the movie director, exer- cised his lungs, and vowed his love for Betty By the, alias the movie queen. Anne got Charles in a pickle when she said she had loved him in Hollywood. Noel Baum rolled off a considerable amount of French and you should have heard Charley try to imitate his “Cherry, madame!” Tom Tichenor. good on his “original ideas,” knows how to be an old married man without much acting. Mrs. Simmons, played by Imogene Ward, kept at his heels over “Sadie Bloom, a role taken hv Bertha Bee Bailev. Mary Frank Sullenger naturally lisped, and Mildred was a true friend to Ethel, Charles’ fiancee. The role of Ethel was played very effectively by Dorothy Traylor. We think Chester Werry should go to Chicago or Evansville, and drive a Yellow Cab, be- cause he seemed like a real chauffeur. Helen Dowell as Annie was a typical maid and we believe she could get a position any- where. and many gossips like Martha would soon ruin a fellow in any town. Here’s to many more senior plays like ' The Whole Town’s Talking. But we 11 miss Char- ley Eskew’s famous ability to put over future plays. Wouldn t he have felt unny Iftha chan- delier had fallen? He did look queer, though, perched way up there. Ba for ( haries. The success of this play Is due to the excellent coaching of Miss Bateman. Senior Week, 1929 Saturday, May 18.

Rah! O for our old gold spirit R for our ragged hooks S stands for seniors That’s what we'll soon be. Rah! Yea! for B. H. 8. In September, 1926, we, the graduating class of 1930, began a struggle decreed by the fates to continue for four years. Our ranks were sixty-nine strong. Realizing that we could not accomplish much without co-operating with each other, we organized with Richard Johnson, president; Thelma Hastham, vice-president; Brie Gough, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Robinson was our sponsor. We soon had candidates for places on all the athletic teams of our school. Few were des- tined to be successful during the first year, but all gained valuable training. A rich harvest of scholarship B’s has always come our way. We started reaping them while we were still fresh- men. The second year found us with our ranks somewhat thinned. Our determination to achieve honor in all phases of school work was stronger than ever. Lela Dunaway was made president of the A section, sponsored by Mr. McCool; and Robert Wilkinson of the B. section, sponsored by Miss McKown. During this year Jane Howard won the county Lincoln oratorical contest and placed second in the district peace declamation. When this year opened both sections of the class were organized together. We elected Charles Eskew, president; Florence Wilkinson, vice-president; Thelma Cranor, secretary; Rich- ard Johnson, treasurer. We had lost some members and gained others, but still numbered six- ty. We were well blessed with sponsors. Miss Garrison, Miss McKown and Miss Grossman were to help us serve the Junior-Senior Banquet. We spent most of our time and efforts on raising the money needed to feed the seniors and ourselves. Tickets to ’’Cool Knights”, pop-corn balls, candy, and hot dogs were some of the things with which we gained training in salesmanship. Some of the honors won by our class during three years of sturdy effort In classroom and athletic contest are as follows: Football—Walter Donnelly, Charles Eskew. Raymond Gore. Oratory—Jane Howard. Basketball—George Powers, Richard Johnson, Walter Donnelly, Thelma Brown, Luctle Hay, Florence Wilkinson, Lillian Hedges. • Baseball—Walter Donnelly, Marion Vote, Raymond Gore (Capt.), George Powers.

Miss Margaret Myers was the accompanist. This play concerns a group of typical college girls and boys who try very hard to get along without each other and get into many unpleasant places. However, it ends well and they all come to a reconcllliatlon.

Bill was a marked player but he didn't mind—he played so much the harder. He never quit fighting. Bill also received a place on Tiny Ten and honorable mention on the All-State Team. CHESTER WERRY played center. He gave all he had and never quit fighting. He made the Tri-State Team. TOM TICHENOR, Big Hands Tom, was a very good tackle. When he got his big hands on the ball carrier, he went down. Tom was a very valuable man on the team. CHARLES KINDER was assured his place on the team from the beginning. He was al- ways fighting. RAY FULLER could nab passes and tackles, when ! ! ! When he hit them they stayed hit. He was very good on the defense and almost equally good on the ofTense. CHARLES ESKEW showed the boys just how tough he really was. When he tackled them they fell like a ton of bricks. JARRETT ROTH was the smallest man on the team. He gave all he had. If he had had a little more weight, someone would have lost a position. RAYMOND BUFKINS, Gunnie’s Old Side Kick, came out to play football and to show oth- ers how to play the game. He gave a good account of himself. CHARLES DOUGLAS, •Bull Montana”, as the boys prefer to call him. was always on the job. He was an all ’round football man. He has two more years of football and one handicap. ROBERT WILKINSON was our lightning half-back. He was the fastest man on the squad. Robert will be hard to stop next year, providing he overcomes ”his weakness.” CECIL McKINNEY was the second •'Buck Britton.” When the team wanted a gain Cecil would open a way. He was death on blocking, also a good defensive man. GUY RODERMUND was the freshman on the team. No doubt by the time he is a Senior he will be an All-State Star. ROY YOUNGBLOOD played on the third team until his superior playing won him a place on the first team. Roy has another year. RUSSELL McKINNEY was a threat for any tackle falling down on the job. He has two more years. Last but not least is the CAPTA IN - EL ECT, WALTER DONNELLY, who will pilot the team next year. He should make the All-State Team in 19.10. Track Notes Co h Byers’ cinder artists found the 1929 season to be a severe test of their metal. The io:,t s ccessful meet was the one with Central, which resulted in a tie. Bosse invaded the amp o: Jhe Pioneers and took the victory away with them. Boonviile found so much competi- tion in t e invitational meet at Petersburg and the Tri-State at Evansville that the boys were not able o annex many ribbons. In the sectional Gerald Hay placed second in both the shot- put and oad jump. This enables Boonviile to carry on Its tradition of always sending some- body to the State meet. Other letter winners are Charles Kinder, Edgar Baum, Henry Goad, Harold Eastham, Chester Werry and Cecil McKinney. Baseball—A Perfect Record The baseball season came to an end too late to make it possible for the Pioneer pill fan- ners to hr space and recognition which they richly deserve. Coach Goerlltz's boys played - ,rand of baseball that put them on the front rank among high schools in this part of the Manson Lenn's pitching placed him in a class considerably above the best of sec- onda -nool hurlers. He was given whole-hearted support by the following: Vote C, Powers 2B, her RF, Crowder IB. Sutton IB. Capt. Gore CF. Hart IB, Nicholson LF, Tobin SS, Alt- mey F, Bauerle F. Byers F, Lemmon F,, Campbell SS.

Fioyd SUMMARY OF THE SEASON The jinx camped on the trail of Coach Byers’ Pioneer nettera. What red grades didn't get, the “IIu did. Just as soon as the team began to function in a manner that promised victories, something happened to cause a change in the line-u � . With most of this squad back and the large number developed by Mr. t.oerlitz, prospects are very bright for a splendid team next year.

A large part of her success Is explained by her interest In and complete devotion to her girls. Summary and Letter Winners Coach Bateman’s feminine sharphooters came through the season with the best record ever team in southern Indiana, where girls’ basketball is on a high level as a sport. Out of wenty- flve starts they brought home the bacon twenty-three times. Their two defeats were by one jwdnt each and were acquired at the hands of Mt. Olympus and Petersburg. They were later avenged by decisive victories in both cases. Mr. Bennett gave the team his whole-hearted sup- port before all critical games and deserves much credit for their splendid playing. T •ougn nl •five of this year’s squad will be back on the firing line next year, prospects are b vht for a good team. CAPT. KATE MEYER led her company of sharpshooters in an admirable manner ‘fc'atie” was well known and feared by all the fans In this part of the state. She wasn t hard for he ene- mies’ guards to “spot”, but she was a handful to guard. Her height, speed and acc. -te eye have turned many a doubtful struggle into victory. Her place will be hard to nil. THELMA BROWN was a second and notable member of the firing squad. Her playing never varied in its excellence. Her quick pivot and shot left many a guard gasping f the rear. She piled up many points from the free throw line. LUCILE HAY, the last of the three blonds, knew where the ball should go a ad got it there. Her cheerful disposition was one of her biggest assets. FLORENCE WILKINSON, better known as “Sis,’’ was frequently shoved in wher the fray was at Its height. She has a nice basket eye and plays fast and hard. MARCELLA LOGE did the fastest floor work of the entire squad. No o her covered. If it wasn’t a pivot it was a dribble. She knew how “to ke ball. guard could keep possession of the JANICE YOUNGBLOOD was the last of the “three little forwards. She has an uncanny eye for long shots from impossible positions. 1929 Page Thirty-nine THE PIONEER FIRST LIEUTENANT LOWELL was a hackguard who had few equals. Her Judgment in a crisis was always pood. It took considerable time for people to realize that on the tip-off she was giving signals with hands, feet, and head. BERTHA LEE BAILEY would win the Gimbel prize for mental attitude If such a thing were offered to girls. She rarely met her match in jumping. More than one victory can be traced to her unfailing ability to turn the ball into the right end of the floor. LILLIAN HEDGES, lured away by matrimony, was a steady, active guard. She had little to say, but did the right thing at the right time. DELORIS CORN grew up as a player guarding Katy. The experience made her a valuable member of the squad. It was never weakening to the team to send her in at a critical mo- ment. RUTH TAYLOR was a steady defensive player. She never lost her head. Her size was her handicap.. That was the only thing that kept her from playing all the time. The Nighthawks Mr. Goerlitz’s Interest in athletics prompted him to give his services in coaching a group of Freshmen and Sophomore boys. Their hours of practicing gave them their name. The players were: Forwards—Hewins, Lenn, Becker, Nicholson. Centers—Davidson, Cranor. Guards—Roderman, Bateman. Wilson. Milner. They played two games with Richland and Chrisney; one with Folsomville and the Central Freshmen. Pioneer Cackles Toni Y. (on the phone)—Hello, is this the Salvation Army? Voice—Yes. T.

Mr. O.—Positive. “I shall have to give up smoking,” announced the young husband. “The doctor says one lung is nearly gone.” Oh, Robert , exclaimed his wife, Couldn’t you hold a little longer, until we get enough coupons to get a new rug?” “What kind of a boy is Noel?” Well, when we were together last night the lights went out and he spent the rest of the evening repairing the fuse. Miss McK.—My, that’s a dirty book! Cecil C.—Let me at it! Miss McK.—Wait till 1 dust it off. Chas. E.—We will be friends until the end. Chester F.—Lend me $10. Chas. E.—That’s the end. The man who gives in when he is wrrong,” said the orator, is a wTise man, but the man who gives in when he is right is—” Married,” said a meek voice in the audience. Motorist—Want a lift? Malcolm H.—No thanks. I’m walking for exercise. Motorist—Exercise! What’ that? Jarrett R.—Did you hear about the accident in Scotland? Bill H.—No; what was it? J.

Miss Haas—When was Rome built? Ray F.—At night. .Mis. Haas—Who told you that? Ray F.—You did: you said Rome wasn’t built in a day. I simply can’t get over it”, said Miss Garrison as she paused in front of a rail fence. There was a young Junior named Dick, Who of all the nice girls had his pick. He’d give them a smile, It would last but a while, But now he has one who will stick. He took her rowing on the lake, v She vowed she’d go no more! r I asked her why—her answer was He only hugged the shore.” Chas F.—Mv dog knows as much as I do. ___.. _ Chas.
