Mr. White is probably the best basketball coach in the state. For the past two years he has very ably filled the thankless job of athletic director here at lvlale, We dedicate our annual to Mr. White, not because he is a first class basketball coach and ath- letic director, but because he is a regular fellow. We think Frank White stands for the finer things in sports. Sincerely, The Class of '39V2 rw W.

A craft made water-tight by knowledge. We are going out into a troubled world. A world filled with war, and hate, and fear. Yes, we believe the United States will be in- volved in another war. No, we aren't flag wavers. We don't jump to our feet and shout the Star Spangled Banner every chance we get, We are just waiting until the internation- al termites get into our wood-work, and then we'll exterminate them. No flag waving. No making the world safe for democracy. Nothing to bolster up false courage. Simply a case of removing that which we find we cannot stomach. That's the way weve been reared. True, we're not very scientific or literary. We never could quite fathom Newton's First Law Of Motion or Spencer's Faerie Queene. but we have been taught to hate an oppressor. We've been taught to hate those who hate others, We've been taught that might doesn't make right. We're about ready to show Male Means Men. l 444444444 sf: '- , Sw ' , Q. f, ,,,,., - .A ua.

Harken back to the closing days of l936 and the beginning of l937 when we first entered Male. Franklin D. Roosevelt had been re-elected for a second term by the greatest majority in history, and people said that the Republican party was dead. Dewey, McNutt, and Taft were little heard of names. England had just acquired a new king. Automobiles still had their gearshifts on the floor, and everybody was singing a crazy ditty entitled The Music Goes 'Round and 'Roundf' Albania, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, and Danzig were all flourishing countries, and Margaret Mitchell's new book, Cone With the Wind was appearing on best seller lists. We looked forward to entering Male High, but even as we received our diplomas from lunior High, Old Man Ohio dumped himself in our front yards. High School survived 57.l feet. We started to school five weeks late. School ran until four o'clock, and there were no electric lights. Floors were buckled and most of the first floor could not be used. As threes we became acclimated to Male High. It was a bit strange not having any girls in the class. That was the term when the Hindenburg exploded, and War Admiral won the Derby. l937 was the big football year. The Bulldogs won twelve straight games, gloriously defeating Manual, 25-20, for the only Male High victory during our three years. Coach Butts left us to go to Georgia, where he is now head coach. In the spring we proudly became juniors. Colonel jordan left as Professor of Military Science and Tactics, and after a brief time, Major Bashore took his place.. Lawrin won the Derby. - .. ..,. t, ...,.,..-, . The hit tune was Bei Mir Bist du Schoen, and Happy and Dear Alben were stumping up and down the length of Kentucky in one of the hottest campaigns ever fought, That fall a stubborn Male High team held Manual's national champions for three quarters and finally lost, 40-7. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was hailed as a film success, and the popular song was Franklin D. Roosevelt jones. Then in the spring of i939 we became seniors. Do you re- member the twelve crowded months of l939? The Glee Club presented The Pirates of Penzance and the Royal Masque, The Ghost Train. Deep Purple and Three Little Fishes were the song favorites, johnstown won the Derby, and Czechoslovakia died at Munich, where Chamber- lin said, This is peace for our time. That was a carefree summer, for weren't we going to be English eights in the fall? ln Europe affairs grew worse and worse, until, on September first, German troops crossed into Poland. And so at eleven o'clock, September third, twenty years, ten months, and nineteen days after the War to end all Wars, the world went to war. Another thrilling Male-Manual game took place on Thanks- giving, when Manual won 20-l3. This game had spectators on their toes right down to the last seconds, and there was no shame to the losers. Gone With the Wind finally appeared and the hit songs were Oh, johnny, ln The Mood. And so here we are. Of the great world powers, England, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, japan, China, Spain, only this country has enjoyed peace. And we, the class of l939Vz, face a somewhat unpredictable future. There is not the gloom and discouragement of a depression-ridden nation that faced the classes of the early thirties. ls it our destiny to die on the battlefield? Will our era be the ushering in of a new order, with war outlawed? We cannot answer these questions. We can only face the future, determined to maintain and preserve our heritage of freedom, and firm in our faith in the American Way. .

Dear jimmy: l've just returned from a trip back East and I thought you'd be interested in knowing about the old classmates l met. I stopped in Louisville where l saw Alvin Warren, j. O. Bagwell, and Ralph Edsall, who are, respectively, president, chief accountant, and head of German correspondence of the Lincoln Bank of Kentucky, I visited Male and found that the P.M.S.T. is none other than Major Robert Coffman. Drs. Harry Reid and Willard Taylor are the most prominent physi- cians in Louisville lHarry diagnoses the cases and Bill oper- atesl. I discovered Taylor Duncan painting murals in the new city hall. I visited Prof. jerry Davis, who is dean of the Dental College. In Washington, D. C., I saw Hon. Russel Ernst, the new Supreme Court justice, Sen. john V. D. Fels, the Republican senator from Ohio, and Burke Hyde, the record-holding pilot to whom all important documents are entrusted for trans- portation. In Newark I came across Marshall Humphrey working on the fifth dimension. In New York, I found that C. Barkley Hutchison is an eminent pediatrician and that Gene Carpenter is a successful research chemist. I was pleas- antly surprised by being received at Playboy Walter Lacy's penthouse by Ervin McClain, who is unofficially the best butler in New York. j. H. Bickel is still breaking speed records when he's not busy painting portraits of famous people. You know, no doubt, that LaMont Richardson has just completed ten years with the Yankees and that Harry Stimmel is presi- dent of the national Y. M. C. A. On the way back to California I stopped in Des Moines to see Ben jacobstein who owns a shoe factory there. I also saw Fred Strobel practicing for the National Skeet Shoot that is to be held there some time this month. l don't have to mention the successes of Ted Holliger as a character actor and Richard Schell's top-flight band over in Hollywood. It doesn't seem like twenty years has passed since we left Male, but the members of our l939V2 Class have certainly succeeded on a grand scale. jimmy, I have to run up to 'Frisco in a couple of weeks, so I'll drop in to see you then.

The past year has been an epochal one in the history of the Halleck During the past tew years the Halleck had gained the reputation of being an intellectual aristocracy or a refuge for misunderstood geniuses. This year the Constitution was revised to make the Halleck an organization ot the boys most active in school affairs. Two of the last tour Colonels and three ot the last tour valedictorians have been Halleck members This year the three seniors, Barkley Hutchison, james Erwin, and john Eels were editors ot the H Book, Annual, and Spectator, respectively. The presi' dent of this years midfyear class, james Erwin, is a Halleck member, as was the president ot l93Bl J. The Halleck teels that in the eleven short years ot its history it has already ac- quired a reputation for distinguished mem- bers in school activities that can not be sur- passed by any other club, The Halleck wishes to bid farewell to its graduating seniors and wish them the best of luck in the rest ot their careers, JW?

We also extend best wishes to all graduating seniors. DISC AND DIAMOND The Disc and Diamond Club, which has a larger membership than any other student organization at Male, enjoyed another successful year under the capable advisorship of Maj, Bashore, the Professor of Military Science and Tactics. Through the capable management of the Activities Committee by Chairman Bob Coffman, the club sponsored its addition to the steady growing list of Military Balls. On the evening of December 8, at the Henry Clay Hotel Continental Room, the semi-annual Military Ball was given and proved to be the largest school dance of the year, surpassing all previous Balls given by the Disc and Diamond. lt is indeed with a thrill that a few of l939lf2 Disc and Diamond members recall the not overly crowded first Military Ball as described in the l938 Bulldog, Cadets and cadet officers in immaculate uniforms, shining brass, brilliant white shirts, and the girls in gay formals, presented a most spectacular scene. From the record breaking profit derived from the Ball the club donated a sum to the Bulldog and supplied the Rifle Team with much appreciated new 'scopes and Leyden sights for use in the new rifle-range. The remainder of the profits were left to the succeeding Disc and Diamond of l94O to whom we wish even more success than was enjoyed by the Disc and Diamond of l939V2. x an 1l' l,l Gap I .Nyw THE DELPHIC LITERARY SOCIETY President. ,S .... ........

From its infancy to the pre t, the members have co-operated and made the most earn- est efforts to develop the Society, which has never been eclipsed by any other school group. Term of l939V2 The Christmas dance was a financial, and a social success, Our thanks to all who attended. Our Spectator , in addition to being a success from the literary stand- point, has contributed considerably to the assets of the organization. On the night of December 23, L939, Perry Miller, loe Simpson, and Billy Weber were formally initiated into the Society.

C raig Alford The Athenaeum is bringing to a close the fall term of its seventy-eighth year in school. ln this year we feel that we have worked hard for the school through the Athenaeum, The Athenaeum has grown from a debating society to a literary and social organization and has developed in influence and prestige chiefly through the hard work of its members. The traditions formed during these many years are cultivated and cherished, one of these traditions is to give annually a Christmas dance, which is the social high spot of the holidays for younger Louisvillians. We believe we have ac- complished t ' by presenting to Louisville an excellent orchestra in the beautiful Crys al Ballroom of the Brown l-lotel. Because of the pledges that we have inducted, we have had less time than usual for outside speakers. However, we did hear some fine talks from Messrs. Bradbury, Tapp, and Koerber among the faculty. The Athenaeum is pleased to have presented the school with a trophy case for the new gymnasium. Also we presented a plaque to Mr. Blandford for his untiring work in getting the gym for us. The Athenaeum wishes the Class of '39lY2 all the luck in the world. ,Q . c .... .,,.,,s- ,,,,5..-,.-if THE ROYAL MASQUE DRAMATIC SOCIETY, l939Vz President Secretary Sgt.-at-Arms Stage Mgr.

The Royal Masque. however, goes on, We started the first of the year by electing officers for the fall term. Bill Peake has been a very active and efficient program chairman ln the programs we have had boys in short plays and have found that Noel Thurman, George Drescher, and Tom Har- grove have displayed considerable acting ability. There have been few Royal Masque meetings during the time the senior play was being rehearsed, as several of our members were in the cast, namelyg john Fels, Tom l-largrove, George Drescher, lim Moss, Dick Raymond, Gilbert Ades, and Edwin Barnes. Mr. Gardner was naturally with them during practice. Immediately after Christmas we will begin to study and cast the Royale Masque play of this year. The date will be sometime in late lVlarch. IAMES TODD, Secretary. I l RIFLE TEAIT This year the Rifle Team had the biggest turnout in its history. Over lOO embryo Male Annie Oalcleysn reported to Sgt. Sleeth at the gallery range in the new gymnasium. The new range, it may be safely said, is the best of its kind connected with any R.O.T.C. unit. Although through the process of graduation we lost many of the team, we hope, with the support of the old men who are left, and the boys who are chosen from those who try out, to have one of our most successful seasons. The veterans who are again with the team and their respective offices are as follows: F. C. Schneider, Captain, l.. E. Leonhardt, Recorder, W. C. Caw- thorn, Secretary, C. H. Lund, Range Officer, l-l. C. Dittol I. W. Lewis, K. M. Moore, l. W. l-loppe, N. A. C-eorge, W. B. Fowlks, l. R. Kane. The Coach is Staff Sgt. Sleeth.

CONCERT ORCHESTRA The Louisville Male High School Concert Orchestra certainly has grown since it first began back in l9l3, when approxi- mately twelve or fifteen boys met after school hours for instruction. In l9l 5, Orchestra was offered as a free elective to all pupils, with one-half credit per semester for the work. A definite boost was realized by the Orchestra when, in l9l 9, Principal I. B. Carpenter acquired for the band a full set of instruments from the War Department. A great deal of these could be used in the Orchestra as well as in the Band. Another big help came in l929, when the Board of Education pur- chased two string basses. These, added to the three basses. six cellos, and two violas which the school bought, helped to make up a balanced string section. The Orchestra was conducted by Mr. E. 1. Wotowa and Mr. A. F. Marzian until l93l, when the present director, Mr. Lynn Thayer was employed to direct the music department. The Orchestra has held a high state of proficiency and has played a great part in the musical program of the school, city, and state. ln l939 the Orchestra won a rating of Superior Double-plusl in the State Music Festival at Lexing- ton. lt has played for events such as the Annual Convention of the National Cafeteria Association, the Kentucky Educa- tion Associations pageants, Commencement exercises, plays and many others. The Orchestra owes much of its success to the Band Parents Association, which, among other things, has just purchased an entire outfit of dress uniform jackets for the boys. At present the Orchestra roll call lists fifty members and all are determined to build the Best High School Orchestra in the country. GEORGE P. HICKS.

During the past term all ofthe phases of its activity, service, social, physical, and religious, have been brought out by its members. We have continued the policy of service to the community, the school, and the Y.lVl.C.A. in many different projects, In a social way we have had a general social at the Y.lVl,CA., in which all clubs participated and also two smaller socials of our own, including a get-together at the Boy Scout Camp, and also a skating party. Omicron has participated in Volley Ball, Water Polo, and six-man football competition among the l-li-Y Clubs. One of our most inspiring talks was a lecture by Dr. Slutz of Dayton, Ohio. Omicron loses two of its esteemed members by graduation, Russell Ernst and Bill Spears. We look forward to the spring term as one in which we will do bigger things and in which all the members of Omicron will be benefited. ,g J SENIOR CLASS PLAY On December l5, I939, the class of '39lb went dramatic. lt presented a comedy about a group of college boys.

In this statement we store our greatest pride, for what could be greater in a club which has a reputation for the accomplishment of all its purposes? We have lived up to all the tradi- tions of the past and have built a club out- standing in athletic ability, and close in fellow- ship. One could hardly conceive a club which has had more wholesome enjoyment than Beta. Not only have our own social projects been a success, but our participation in the activities of the Hi-Y has been most suc- cessful. The new members of our chapter have been elected into the club with the assurance that they have the necessary qualifications and that they will be both benefited by, and an asset to the club. Although we do not lose very many members through graduation this year, we will deeply feel the loss of our seniors. They are: Harry Stimmel, joe Larkins, james Harrison, and james L. Hannah. lt is to these seniors and to Mr. Neu, our faculty advisor, that we, the members of Beta, do dedicate this page. RICHARD AYRES, Publicity Chairman.

The membership includes only those who have shown themselves to be actively and seriously interested in chemistry. At a recent reorganization meeting, the follow- ing officers were elected: Q President ......... Cene Carpenter Vice-President. . .Edwin Fruehwald Secretary ....... William Sherman Treasurer ,......,.... Harry Frye The particular branch of chemistry which the club has been investigating for the last semester is spectroscopy. The immediate in- centive to study of this field is the fact that it is absorbingly different and unusual to many of us: but under the leadership of Mr. Allen, our Faculty Advisor, we are learning also valuable techniques which may perhaps be an aid in college studies, Our meetings are held every Wednesday afternoon at the close of school, in room 305. A cordial welcome awaits all sincerely scien- tific visitors. BILL SHERMAN, Secretary. 11 .males Major Wilbur E.

Until February, 1931, E. l. Watowa and A. L. lvlarzian, assisted by a R.O.T.C. Sergeant Instructor, taught and con- ducted the band and orchestra, bringing both to a high state of proficiency ln 1931 Lynn Thayer was employed to direct the instru- mental department. Today the following classes are offered: concert orchestra, marching and concert bands lwith sectional rehearsalsl, intermediate and advanced wind instruments, string classes, percussion ensembles, and a class for beginners. Both band and orchestra have made outstanding accomplish- ments in state and national contests. ln 1938 the band won First Division in the National Regional Contest, the high- est rating a high school band may receive in this country. ln 1939 the Band Association , consisting of the Dads and Mothers of the boys taking music, made it possible through their personal initiative for the Band to accept an invitation by Olin Downes to appear for marching and concert programs at the New York World's Fair. Today the 341 enrollments in the department are using the most complete music department in the state. There is a central hall 50 by 60 feet, acoustically treated, practice rooms on the first floor, specially arranged instrument rooms, a music library, director's office, and conveniently located lockers for the first band, The department was so designed that evening practices or pgograms may be held without opening the rest of the building. Broadcasts may be made from the central band hall. l. E.

The team had but two defeats, Woodlawn having a heavier and outclassed team and Manual having superior running and blocking, The team as a whole did very well tor the installment of a new coaching staff. lt is very hard for new coaches to get accus- tomed to the conditions and boys, and produce a winning team as our coaches did. We can assure you that this staff will produce winning teams in the years to come, not only winning teams but Championship Teams. GAMES September l 5-Hoping to have an undefeated season, the Male High Bulldogs got started with a bang by defeating the Middlesboro Team by the tune of 39-O. September 22-Thinking of the small margin by which the Bulldogs won last year, the Bellevue team had revenge in their hearts. But they were stopped cold and Male High came out on the long of the score of 43-O. Kuhn, Taylor, and Compton did most of the scoring. September 29-With the urge to strive on and on the Bulldogs met the strong and heavy team of Woodlawn, Alabama on a wet field. The cogs of the Male machine just didn't have the proper punch and at the end of the game they came out on the short end of a I3-l2 score. October 6-The team, taking a long trip to Ashland, were expected to be defeated by the Ashland team. But with the urge to win drumming in their heads, they were not going to be defeated. The Ashland team held Male and by their actions they were beaten in the first half, but as things came around they were victorious by the score of 37-13. October I3--On the unlucky night of Friday the l3th the Bulldogs met the New Albany Bulldogs at New Albany. Through the smart and fast thinking of our little quarterback, Harry Reid, they kept the Bulldogs jumping. Kuhn and Compton again did most of the out- standing playing. The score was I3-O. October 20-It was a long trip to Covington, Kentucky, and the Male men were outweighed but in spite of all this they charged, tackled, blocked, and scored harder. At the end of the fourth period the Bulldogs of Male, again, came out on the top of a 21-7 score. November 3-On a very cold night the Boys' of Male warmed up by defeating the Danville Admirals to the tune of 26-l3. Danville made the first score, and at the half the score read l2-O in favor of Danville. Things looked very Blue for the Purples. But as the third and fourth periods rolled around things brightened up and the boys went on to win. November ll-On a very ideal day for football the Bengal Tiger of St. Xavier dared to challenge the overwhelming power of the Purple and Cold of Male's Bulldog. The de- fense power of St. Xavier held very well until a minute of play was left, and Male proceeded to score. A rushing play by Kuhn and conversion by Kaelin and a pass play to Taylor produced the score. The score, I3-O. November l8-The powerful team of Bosse High from Evans- ville paid us a visit, and for a while had us in hot water. At the half it was l2-O in favor of the visitors. Compton's hav- ing had an accident the day before the game was a set back to the team, but the team functioned very well without him. However when he entered the game he added the extra power to conquer the Bosse team by 33-l9. November 30-About 2100 at Manual Stadium two great teams clashed. Male kicked off, the ball rolled over the goal, and Captain Koshewa fell on the ball for a Touchdown. The score after a minute of play-Male 6, Manual O. Compton made' the placement. Both teams fought hard the rest of the game. Manual scored twice in the first half, the score being l3-7. Manual scored on a running play and Male scored on a pass play from Kuhn to Brunig. After the final gun sounded, the score, in the favor of Manual, 20-l3. BASKETBALL With the opening of Male's new Gymnasium many fellows turned out for the first meeting of basketball. The team has very much promising material, many Sopho- mores and juniors. This year's team has only one returning letterman, he is to guide the first team as Captain in this new gymnasium. Mr, White is depending on Captain Charles Kuhn and half-year lettermen, Foster Kaiser and Le Monte Richardson for regular positions on the first team. To fill the other berths are, junior Klienhenz, a sophomore, Billy Taylor, Harry Reid, joe Kaelin, Paul Koshewa, Dudley Van- diver, Billy Harris, Harold and David Dean, and others. Male's team has a very hard schedule ahead of them. THE SCHEDULE AS FOLLOWS: Dec. Manual ......... .Here Dec. New Albany .... .Here Dec. Hazard ......... .Here lan. Valley .......... .Here lan.

To us, this addition won't be just the gym, but rather we will know it as White - Blandford Field House. The White - Blandford Field House will seat over four thousand spectators, This great seating capacity has naturally attracted several maior college games. We are sorry we just have pic- tures of the gym while it was being built, but that's the way most of the Class of '39l,'2 re- member it. We still wonder how they got that steam-shovel OUT. TRACK The early spring, as track and baseball season came in sight, marked the coming of Mr. Stovall to Male High. To start off with Mr. Stovall bought the track team new uniforms and equipment. Though not knowing what talent he had, he produced a very good track team. This team received second honors in the Big l6 Meet, in the Dis- trict Male was second and ran second to Manual in the State Meet. Male won the Triangular Meet between Male, Newport, Covington. Male finished second in the Dual Meet with Manual, whose team shattered many state records. The team was captained by limmy MCC-uirk, others to receive letters are as follows: Her- man Hale, Billy Hagan, Melvin Carson, Hoyte Taylor, Channing Pierce, jimmy Craik, Arvill Maish, Clarence Haberlin, Kennith Harrington, Kennith Pepper, Robert Becker, Robert Kurt- singer, Elwood Stultz, joseph Hagan, Paul Koshewa, lack Thompson, Billy Mansfield, Harry Embry, Eugene Petty, Max Spicker, and George Sagar, Mgr.

Mr. Bradbury called practice very early in April because he had only one returning letterman and had to select a full team from a variety of material. The returning letterman was Captain La Monte Richardson, around which most of the heavy action and hitting was centered.
