22 The Modulus At The Foot of the Rainboiu HE lilting strains of It ' s the Girl and ' Sweet and Lovely furnished a fitting 3 opening for the 1931 revue, appropriately called the Rainbow Revue. A galaxy of colors marked the costuming of the sixteen girls dressed in pastel shades appearing in this first chorus. Beauty, melody, and rythm ran rampant, and gasps of ah ' s and oh ' s told of the pleasure and thrills enjoyed by the audience from the striking effect. Words are inadequate to describe the beautiful setting, such as is seldom seen in a high school production. A low stairway, leading to a landing about four feet from the base in the middle of the back stage, was the center of at- traction. This was topped by a huge rainbow in the center of which gold curtains parted to admit the representative girls of the colonial, empire. late nineteenth century, and modern periods. The stage scenery was the product of Mr. Michael aided by his Mechanical Drawing class, and was declared to be the most elaborate ever to be devised for the High School. The sixteen girls in the first chorus were Zelma Hillegas, Mary Jeanette Willson, Jane Foote, Eloise Hannon, Martha Toopes, Helen Lenwell, Dorothy Hartwig, Berenice Brenn, June Rarick, Jean Adams, Wanda Smith, Vir- ginia Branyan, Lillian Jay, Virginia Bunce, Mar- alyn Dimond, and Julia Hartman. The eight girls, who charmingly costumed, brought out the theme that It ' s the Girl in every period, were Dorothy Steele, Betty Ashley, Margaret Baker, Dorothy Kitt, Dorothy Martin, Dorothy Bell, Margery Grayston, and Peg Mehring. Following this, a riot was narrowly averted as Wanda Pinkerton appealingly sang, Come to Me. Next came the strains of Marche Mili- taire, by Schubert, requiring eight hands for execution on the piano. Since Huntington High School could not boast of an eight handed player, the next best was Florence Dunkin, Louise Her- man, Mary Goodin, and Mary Snyder. Then Bea Lesh, quite candidly by her singing and dancing, advised us that You Can ' t Stop Me from Loving You. As the spotlight was turned, a lone figure on the stage was seen Travelin ' to the foot of the rainbow, presumably searching for the pot of gold; and judging from the quality of his sing- ing, Glenn Rickert may reach that much sought- for treasure. What were the secrets told underneath those gayly colored umbrellas? There are various ways of writing love letters, but Mary Kithcart, Melvin Swain, Mary Farmer, and William All- man seemed to think writing Love Letters in the Sand On the Beach with You the latest, while eight girls attired in beach pajamas, exe- cuted a charming dance. Everybody likes a little black-face comedy, so Robert Feigel and James Clabaugh showed us what they could do under burnt cork in a smile- provoking sketch before the oleo.

24 The Modulus Our TTlentors UNTINGTOX High School has one of the best coaching staffs in the state. For this reason, Hunt- ington teams are always ranked high in the standings in the state. This year two new members appeared on the list: Har- old Johnson took Paul Kriegbaum ' s place as Athletic Director and Coach of basketball and track; John Hughes, late from Indiana University, arrived in Huntington to help Clum Bucher coach the football team. Clum also came from Indiana, where he made major letters in foot- ball, basketball, and baseball. This is the fourth year that Bucher has been Coach in Huntington. Bucher came here directly from college. Buch is also Coach of the reserve basketball team. Bucher attended Huntington High School, and was an all-around athlete, earning letters in all three of the sports. Early in September Eddie Hughes putted into town in his abbreviated form of a Packard. He also brought along the leg that beat Purdue. Hughes was the hero of the Indiana-Purdue game in 1930 when he was rushed in to kick the point after the touchdown that was the margin of victory for Indiana. Hughes helped Bucher coach the football team this year, and with the two former athletes from Indiana as Coaches the football team had a suc- cessful season. While Buch was in the hospital, Eddie took charge and directed the team to a victory over Anderson under the floodlights After Paul Kriegbaum resigned last spring as Ath- letic Director, the School Board looked around for his successor. After receiving many applications, the board finally selected Harold John- son, who was coaching at the Berne High School at the time. Sonny had just com- pleted a successful basketball season, and only lost to De- catur in the sectional by two points. In the regional last year, Huntington lost to De- Sar.ny Johnson catur by five points in the first game. Millner, the man with the many panhandles, was selected for the sweater man this year. Charles played guard on the team last year and tackle this year, playing both of these positions to the best of his ability. Pod was always in the midst of every play, always giving the best he had to give. He started the season this year with the monicker Pod and ended up with such names as Terror, Wildman , and many others, coming out of each game with a differ- ent nickname. The team this year did not have a captain during the playing season. Be- fore each game a captain was appointed. When it came time to elect an honorary captain the team selected Babe Hos- ier, rangy end, for this honor. Babe was also a very outstanding player; he could block, pass, and receive passes. Hosier closed his career as a four-year man on Huntington football teams in the Warsaw game, in which he was one of the outstanding players. Due to an injury received during practice, Hosier was unable to participate in the Homecoming game. During Hosier ' s four years with the Vik- ing football teams, he has played many positions, last year in the backfield, and the year before as an end. This year the yell leaders were chosen by the members of the team and by the students who purchased athletic tickets. When the votes were counted it was found that Lloyd Blocker, Helen Lenwell, and Robert Feigel were the lucky ones. As all of these three are underclass- men, Huntington will be repre- sented a few more years by classy leaders. Just as important as being members of the team is the job of Student Manager. This year James Meier was Senior Man- ager and Robert Sayle was Junior Manager. Both of these boys were out at every practice and on the job at all times. Much of the success of the team depends on them. ,.■,,,,„■■ , : „ .,,..
