14 The Modulus Four in One Chapter I UR Senior class of 1932 will be the best ever! was heard as the Seniors gathered on Monday, September 31, to elect their leaders for their last year in dear old H. H. S. Things, however, did not run so smoothly, and Wilma Lobdell and Dick Dennie tied for the highest position — that of President. The others elected were Billy Coolman, Vice-President; Geraldine Scheiber, Secretary; Ruth Paddock, Treasurer; and Miss Virginia Watson for Spons- or again. The next day another election for the Presidency was held with Dick Dennie being elected to the coveted and honored position. Of course, in order to help affairs run smoothly, committees were appointed by Dick and Miss Watson. The list of appointees is as follows: Social Committee: Wilma Lobdell, Chair- man; James Clabaugh, Carlene Fisher, Robert Slater, and Mary Catherine Stoffel. Flower and Color Committee: Mary Far- mer, Chairman; Virginia Branyan, Carol Evans, and John Hoover. Invitation Committee: Clara Bauman, Chairman; Kenneth Fahl, Clyde Stout, and Mary Jeanette Willson. Motto Committee: Wanda Pinkerton, Chairman; Kenneth Adams, Richard Guthier, and Alice Hurd. Finance Committee: Glenn Rickert, Chair- man; Jean Adams, Dorothy Hannon, Pauline Heiney, and Darrell Underhill. The Flower and Color Committee went right to work and selected delft blue and amber as the class colors, while sweet peas and pearnet rosebuds compose the flower side. Their guiding star this year will be: Life is a picture; paint it well. The final selection of Senior invitations was made so most of the business was taken care of and affairs were started running smoothly. The invitations are of the utmost importance, as presents are received through their strength. That ' s something we all enjoy and they never come amiss, either; and as you probably know, the depression has struck most of us! The Senior Play selected for this eminent class is a four act drama, The Mender, with six characters in all. Tryouts were held the middle part of November with many nervous and anx- ious Seniors aspiring for the parts. To begin their social activities for this most pronounced and dignified class the Senior So- cial Committee planned a wiener roast at Me- morial Park in the month of November. The pavilion served very well as a dance floor, and there never was an orchestra that did as well as that little portable phonograph. Even some of those bashful Senior boys were lured on to danc- ing. Some juggler acts were also displayed with the very disastrous result of crash, bang, and you know the rest. After eating several bushels of wieners, five pounds of marshmallows, and a couple of bushels of apples, everybody posed, putting on their sweetest smiles and watching the litle birdie ( Glenn Rickert ) perched on the ladder. About fifty seniors attended, and a good time was certainly had by all. Another gala event of the year was a party just before Christmas vacation. Among the many renowned visitors present, Santa Claus was the most prominent, just down from the North Pole with a big sack of colored hats. The program consisted of the reading of some letters sent to Santa Claus by some of those noteworthy Sen- iors. Aha! there are still some who send their an- nual letters to the North Pole. Then the program went on with a song by Wanda Pinkerton, a dance by our little vaudeville star, Bea Lesh, and a song by the famous opera singer, Paul Guthier. Keith Jamison ' s Huntingtonians played dance music during the evening, and among the guests were Miss Beatrice Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Wees- ner, Mr. and Mrs. Eberhart, and of course our sponsor, Miss Virginia Watson. The gym was decorated in true Christmas fashion, with red and green streamers, and bal- loons of every hue and size. The bridge tables were placed at either end, giving a night club ef- fect, and when the balloons started being broken, then the night club life really started. Every- one tried to see how many he could break in the confusion and hurry of the time. Refreshments were served at the close of the frivolity and were also in the Christmas man- ner. After this, everyone left, with a grand feel- ing in their hearts, and perhaps, stomachs. You can guess the latter for yourselves. Chapter II Now we come to that industrious group known as Juniors. During the third week of school they elected their heads as follows: Joe Moore, President; Earl Wiley, Vice-President; Eloise Hannon, Secretary; Audrey Beck, Treas-

The Modulus 13 The Fourth Estate y fXDER the personal direction of Papa g|j Day and his moustache, the staffs of the — two publications, the School World and Modulus, industriously started their campaigns for the new year in Room 212. The staffs were appointed with the Modu- lus having Alice Hurd as Editor-in-Chief, and Ruth Wike and Kenneth Balzer as Associate Editors, and John Spahr, Photographer. The money side is ably taken care of by none other than Theresa Biliter, Business Manager of our famous book. This staff has worked hard and faithfully to get this book out to the subscribers in the best manner possible. They have worked, also, on the Rainbow Revue, given by the Journ- alism Department of our school, December 14 and 15. With the money derived from this source, the Modulus is financed without any advertising. The 1931 Modulus placed first in the State for Division II and we want to keep up this high standard of efficiency. The 1931 Modulus was, as you know, a new type of annual, being issued three times during the school year, with a per- manent leather binder given with the second is- sue, so the three issues make up the complete annual. Now, we come to our weekly blab known as the School World, under the watchful eyes of Mary Farmer, the Managing Editor. The rest of her staff has among its members Dorothy Han- non, Associate Editor; Richard Guthier, News Editor; Annamae Oatis, Feature Editor; Lewis Kimmel, Sports Editor; Donald Freehafer, Copy Editor; Paul Schepper, Business Manager; Rosabelle Bridgins, Advertising Manager; Vel- ma Zook, Circulation Manager; Madge Sprowl, Exchange Manager; and Deloris Klinger, Typ- ist. The ones who aid these importunates, as Re- porters are Marjorie Barnhart, Betty Bradley, Jane Foote, Eloise Hannon, Jessie Mae Lehman. Louis Nie, Georgia Plummer, John Spahr, Mary Jeanette Willson, James Meier, Robert Bitner, and Wilma Lobdell. Naturally, they have to have some money, in order to finance the paper, so Willis Hosier, and Clint McClure take care of this, as Ad Solicitors. The School World placed second again this year in the contest under the supervision of the Indiana High School Press Association, and this is indeed an honor for Huntington High School. The Journalism office equipment has been added to every year, and an adding machine was bought for the room, making affairs more effici- ent than ever, now. Efficiency is stressed very much, both for the annual and newspaper, issued under the direct supervision of this department. Some people think that only a little time and effort is required to put out a weekly paper and a magazine annual, but you would soon change your mind if you were one of the workers. So, if you are not willing to work in an honest and willing way, do not take up Journalism, is our advice to vou. MODULUS STAFF John Spahr. Theresa Biliter, Mr. Day, Alice Hurd.

The Modulus 15 urer; and Miss Alwood was elected Junior Sponsor. Committees are necessary to keep this class booming and the boomers selected are: Social Committee: Earl Wiley, Chairman; Joe Moore, Kenower Hughes, Russell Hubartt, and Herbert Herendeen. Ring and Pin Committee: Marjorie Barn- hart, Chairman; Florence Dunkin, John Mc- Clure, and Theron Feigel. The Juniors ordered their rings and pins, as has been the custom for the last two years. They started selling campaigns early, and sold candy, hot dogs, magazine subscriptions, and what not. In the magazine subscription campaign, the Juniors divided themselves into two groups, with Peg Mehring and Louis Nie as captains and stim- ulators of the movement. The contest netted 50 per cent profit, and the class members certainly did their bit in this way, by earning money for the annual Junior-Senior Reception to be held May 26 at the Masonic Temple. At the football games the Juniors worked exceedingly hard and the industrialists had on its roll of honor Ann Elizabeth McClelland, Peg Mehring, Charlotte Lowey, Betty Ash- ley, Virginia Bunce, Audrey Beck, Dorothy Steele, Mary Grossman, Eloise Hannon, Cather- ine Row, Louis Nie, Kathleen Wagoner, and Jean Paul. Chapter III We proceed now to our sturdy friends — the Sophomores, who are advancing, slow but sure. We expect big things of them and in future years we can point with pride to them, thinking of their pleasant days in Huntington High School. Of course, they held an election and the fin- al tallies showed Tom Moore as President; Mar- garet Felton, Vice-President; Ervin Ade, Secre- tary-Treasurer; and Miss Brown as their trusted and tried Advisor. The Sophomores ' officers and Miss Brown put their heads together and elected the following helpers: Refreshment Committee: Audrey Rankin, Chairman; Margaret Baker, Norman O ' Malley, Evalyn Cox, Donald Miller, and Roland Plast- erer. Decoration Committee: Helen Cull, Chair- man; John Fitch, Margaret Hanna, Lillian Jay, Edward Fisher, and Keith Jamison. Entertainment Committee: Dorothy Mar- tin, Chairman; Dorothy Bell, Clayton Balzer, and DeForrest Landis. The Sophomores had planned for a Hal- lowe ' en party, but their plans fell through be- cause of conflicting dates, and so they will have a real party later on. Chapter IV The Freshmen must not be forgotten, and we all take off our hats to them. They haven ' t been up here long enough to accomplish anything of a high degree, but it can readily be seen that they are on the right road, which eventually will lead them to fame and glory. The Freshmen de- cided that since they were not really well-ac- quainted with each other, they would postpone their election of officers until the second se- mester. This is a very wise plan indeed, and one to be admired in every respect. Here ' s to you, class of 1935! SENIOR OFFICERS Geraldine Scheiber, Richard Den- nie. Miss Watson, Billy Cool- man.
