DAY, Superintendent of the Marion City Schools, was born in 1882 at Markle, Indiana. I-Ie attended Marion Normal, Indiana Univer- sity, and Columbia University, and has an A.B. and an A.M. degree. His career as a teacher is both long and interesting, a striking testimonial of great ability well used. He taught school in Roll. Millgrove, Butlerville, Galveston, Bunker Hill, Butler, and Toledo before he came to Marion four years ago in February, 1923. His experience has rendered him an exceedingly capable superintendent. Perhaps the most important events which have occurred under his jurisdic- tion are the construction of the McCulloch and Martin Boots Junior High Schools and the adoption of plans for a new field house for Marion. School affairs in Marion have prospered as never before since the installation of Super- intendent Day, and he is well liked by both students and teachers throughout the city. PRINCIPAL JOHN WESLEY KENDALL was horn in Miami County. He is a graduate of Indiana State Normal and of Indiana University. He has an A.B. degree and has had a great deal of experience as principal, having been prin- cipal of the High School at Peru, Indiana before he came to Marion. He assumed the office of principal of the Marion High School in 1920 and has been here for seven years. It is no easy task to fill the office of principal well and he has certainly done so. A great deal of preparation and a tremendous fund of intensive information is needed by the holder of such an office and the holder must possess other attributes even harder to acquire. Altogether M.H.S. has good reason to be proud of her chief executive and to compliment him on the way in Which school affairs have been transacted during his administration. ! 1-- X ' v .1 i ,I WEgiQMj.f!?QfQ1A'Wj-Q:pg ,2QlQIL7C',l2T.1'I'iT'ITJilQF.

Nearly all are graduates of Universities or Col- leges and have had special work in their line. Within the last year four new teachers have been added. Miss Christine Kendall has taken the place of Miss Wise who is now studying at Michigan Uni- versity. Miss Kendall is very accomplished in Music and under her direction this department has developed to a great extent, UThe Belle of Barcelona de- Hnitely proved this statement. Miss Cleveland has superseded Mrs. Eli Thomas formerly known as Miss Welty, in the Art Work. The art classes were entered in the poster contest and won high honors and Marion High School on account of its interest in art was intrusted with the John Herron Art School's exhibit. Miss Aveline, a graduate of Indiana University is now a member of the English department and is handling her classes capably. James Mock. popularly known as Jimmy , teaches Spanish in school and also has charge of Marion High's tennis team. The various departments have advanced greatly in the past year. The band is a product of the music department and under Mr. Tuttle's supervision it has gone farther than many can think believable, considering the short time it has been organized. The drama course which is a part of the English work is making fast strides toward the success that Marion High should have. Many plays have been put on namely: On the Hiring Line, Minick, Golden Days, besides numerous one-act plays. Mr. V. A. Smith, who directed these plays, also di- rected Captain Applejackf' the Senior Class play. ii ALVIN G. ALLEN History and Economics Marion Normal College Indiana University MILDRED F.

'fl HE Seniors have at times tried their best to assume the dignity that typifies an upper classman but try as they would it proved only temporary. But all in all they have turned out to be a good group. The faculty advisors were Miss Burton and Mr. V. A. Smith and under their direction the Senior Class has accomplished much. The class sponsored the Band Ticket Sale in the High School and the sale of the Cactus. They have given an average of one program a month before the student body and planted a tree in front of the High School building early in the Spring. The Annual Staff is composed of Seniors with Roger Rhorer as Editor-in-chief: Joseph Hutchins, Business Manager and Susan Erlewine, Student Representative on the Annual Board to guide the Staff. Besides these activities they took time out at intervals of the school year and held some very interesting good times, The first of these was a Hard Times Party in December. The evenings entertainment was divided into two sec- tions: The first was in the form, of a program in the auditorium and the next took place in the Gym, where they lost their dignity and assumed the role of chil- dren. The Good Times Party was next and the famous Senior Orchestra fur- nished the greater part of the entertainment. As the time for commencement grew nearer they became worried that they should never partake of the childish ways again so they held a Kid Party at Camp Meshingomesia and you would never have recognized those most dignified personages, for their attire and man- ner were so changed. Of course their picnic must be mentioned. for it was one of the days that will not soon be blotted from the memories of those who attended. i'Captain Applejacku was more than a success and it showed the dramatic ability of the Senior Class. Senior Class Oflicers Robert Brunt, President Clifton Grant, Vice-President Stephen Johnson, Secretary Robert Custer, Treasurer EACH year it has been the custom of the Senior Class to organize, but the or- ganizations have taken place rather late in the year. This year the class got away to a flying start and held an early election. As always. great interest was felt in the outcome and the election was hotly contested. Robert Brunt emerged from the fray as President, Clifton Grant, Vice-President of the Junior Class of the previous year, was reinstated in his old oflice. Stephen Johnson, justly renowned for his athletic powers, was elected Secretary, and Robert Custer, also of some note in athletic circles, was placed in the Treasurer's chair and entrusted with the pecuniary resources of the Senior Class. Robert Brunt was well qualified to fill the oflice of Senior President and has done so, remarkably well. He has been and is a member of many of the best school clubs and has been indefatigable in working for the betterment of the class. Clifton Grant, the vice-president, has been prominent in school affairs since his Freshman year. He has been editor of the Handbook, Consul of the Latin Club and Vice-President of the Hi-Y and French Clubs and of the Junior Class. Stephen Johnson is very well known in lVl.H.S. He is a letter man in football and basketball and an earnest track aspirant. He was Treasurer of the Junior Class and could not be bettered as Senior Class Secretary. Robert Custer is a yell leader of no mean ability. He has his letter in football and is an actor of note. He is a superb guardian of the money bags. MERVII. A.

They organized soon after school began and chose for their oliicers: Ralph Isselhardt. President: Herbert Custer, Vice-President: Josephine Hardy, Secre- tary, and J. William Long, Treasurer. Their advisors are Miss Covalt and Miss Marie Ballinger, Late in the year they followed the custom of the year before and got their class rings and pins. SOPHOMORES, '29 The Class of '29 attained the distinction of being Sophomores after being known to us as Freshmen for one long year. They organized for the first time and chose to guide the destiny of the class: Hunter Stewart. President: Tom Kendall, Vice-President: Margaret Clawson, Secretary: and Fred Herzog, Treas- urer. The advisors are Miss Priest and Miss Sims. In scholarship the Sophomores rank high and one of their number, Herbert Reese, took second place in the State Latin Contest at Bloomington. They showed very favorable prospects in athletics, Gib Sullivan gaining an for his work on the first team while David Price, Erle Kightlinger. John Yunker, Harold Nall, William Shearer and Frank Roberts upheld the second team. FRESHMEN, '3 0 This year Marion High had a very small Freshman Class consisting of about seventy-Hve members. No class activities were engaged in nor was the class organized. Most of the Freshmen were at Martin Boots and McCulloch Junior high school in accordance with the plan of having three years of Junior and three of Senior High School.

THIS year Marion High School inaugurated a distinct innovation in the line of its publications by placing in the hands of the student body a high school handbook containing valuable instruction in the usage of the building. lt was published with the idea of bringing before the entire student body the complete curriculum of the school and of enabling them to become familiar with the rules governing all branches of conduct in the building. It was primarily intended for the new students, but information important to others was placed in it. In it was embodied an outline of the athletic achievements of the school and a list of the college entrance requirements of the best known colleges. The book was printed and bound in the high school printshop and was distributed to the student body about the beginning of the second semester of the school year. The book was published by a staff consisting of Will Hilde- brand, Velma Poland, Roger Rhorer and Mary Kendall. It was edited by Clif- ton Grant and was produced under the direction of B. H. Penrod, faculty ad- visor and instructor of printing in the Marion High School. lt has long been the custom of other schools to publish such handbooks, and Marion's adding the handbook to her list of publications is regarded as a distinct advancement. The handbook published this year was in the nature of an experiment and was successful from every point of view. The work of publishing the book was considerable, and was handicapped by the lack of any precedent. However, a splendid book was produced and next year's handbook, even aided by the examples' set by the present publication, will have much to do to equal the handbook of this present school year.

At its first meeting Robert Pixel was unanimously elected president and arrangements were made for tryouts in the immediate future. By the constitution, the club- is limited to a membership of forty, but this year after the tryouts, in accordance with a new policy, only about twenty people were admitted, making a membership of twenty-eight. Velma Poland was elected secretary: Donnel Weaver, treasurer of the organization: and the club has found a most effective vicefpresident in Stephen Johnson. Through much discussion the purpose of the club for the year was de- cided upon. It was: To stimulate interest in drama, certainly: but to stimulate interest in a better type of drama,' was the motto, to bring to the local public an appreciation of what is best in dramatic art. To what degree of success this purpose has been realized, only the play-goers of Marion can testify. And what- ever has been achieved is largely the product of untiring effort on the part of both president Pixel and Mr. V. A Smith, faculty advisor and dramatic coach. It was proposed in the beginning to give at least two long plays, besides a number of one-acts, but owing to various conflicts this was found impracti- cal. so that in the end five plays were given in all, only one of which was three acts in length. Of these tive, brief summaries may be found below: MINICK Minick recommended itself to the Red Masque Club as a play more powerful in appeal than anything ever given here. It is a very pleasing melo- drama, full of engaging humor, presenting in an often-times touching way, the tragedy of old age. The cast, one of exceptionally high caliber, are to be con- gratulated on the realism with which they portrayed their various roles, each 'Top RowffSnodgx-ass. Mart, Johnson, Hardy.

CThe stage presented a charming picture with its specially constructed set, novel lighting ef- fects, and the new black tormneotrs, which threw it into bold relief.j The part of Minick, the lovable old man who comes to live with his son and daughter-in-law in their Chicago flat, was splendidly conceived by Victor Day. The young Minicks f,Eleanora Lutz and Leo Keimj were easily recog- nizable as the typical, modern young couple, well'meaning, but too hopelessly engrossed in the social doing of their young married set to have much time for an old man. Lil and Jim Corey CAnna Louise Fagan and Stephen .Iohnsonj manage pretty well to demoralize even the best intentions of their friends, and what they leave undone in the way of destruction is more than accomplished by Marge and Al Diamond CVelma Foland and Robert Custerj, two jazz babies whose combined wind power is enough to wreck any home, be it ever so Storm- proof. Top all of this with an Irish maid CRebecca Snyderb in a perfect fury and you have a fair cross-section of the first act. Donnel Weaver and Everett Callahan developed unsuspected feebleness as Mr. Price and Mr. Deitenhoffer, Minick's friends from the old men's home across the street, and Josephine Hardy kept the comedy going as Lulu, the slouchy, indolent, but dictatorial new colored maid. One of the features of the play was the club-scene in which Mildred Echelbarger, Ruth Penstermaker, Anna Chochos and Ruth MacDonald create pandemonium in their efforts to be rid of the talkative old Minick, who interrupts with his stories. Ruth Mac- donald was especially outstanding in her character as the stern, off-with-your- head Miss Crackenwald.

Lytle, Pence, Sausaman, Morrison, Lenfestey, Mangz, Fisher RENCH is exceedingly interesting. More and more persons are studying the language and learning to speak it fluently. Those who would be neighborly must be able to converse with people next door. There is a large call for French- speaking Americans to teach English to the French. If the international ex- change of languages were practiced, might not a stronger bond of friendliness be formed? At least several seekers after French decided to know more about the subject than mere text-book material and in order to do so on Tuesday. No- vember 2, 1926, the members of the French Ill, IV and V Classes met and or- ganized 'ALe Cercle Francais. The club was better known to those not in the parlez-vous Classes as the French Club. The purpose of Le Cercle is to create and maintain a higher appreciation of French, in fact, to promote interest in all things French. French problems and customs were the favorite topics of discussion. Interesting reports were giv- en on the government, social life and religion of the French people. In the way of lighter things, French games. songs and charades were learned. The French National Hymn and many peasant songs were sung. The club met once every six weeks and at each meeting the flag salute was given in French. The officers of the club were as follows: President, Minnie Bourke: Vice- President, Victor Day: Secretary-Treasurer, Jane Rhue. Near the end of the simester Victor Day resigned his office and Clifton Grant was elected to fill his p ace.

In this length of time it has become a permanent fixture of the moral and social life of the high school. The slogan is known as the Pour C's : Clean living, clean speech, clean athletics, and clean scholarship. The purpose is to create, main- tain, and extend throughout the school and community higher standards of Christian character. At the beginning of each half year new members are chosen. The first se- mester there were nineteen initiated and the second, thirteen. The club reserves the right to select their own members and by that method they keep the club from becoming too large and unwieldy. An annual Father and Son banquet was held at which Representative Al- bert Hall gave an address, A Faculty and Hi-Y banquet was also given. Mr. Schnell, of the state staff of the Y.M.C.A., was the main speaker. The case of Miss Gladys Neal was continued on this occasion. The culprit was last year charged with using a Latin pony and was this year proven guilty. The sentence was that since she had disgraced the Latin Department, her privileges as Latin teacher were to be forfeited and she was from thence forth to serve in the Physics Department. Oiiicers for the first semester were: President, Will Hildebrand: Vice- President, Clifton Grant: Secretary, James Anderson: Treasurer, John Mart. Officers the second semester were: President, Ellman Jones: Vice-President. Victor Day: Secretary, Hunter Stewart: Treasurer, George McClure.

This group of boys was supervised by the agricultural teacher Mr. Crane, who was elected President of the Indiana Agricultural Teachers Association in June, l926. This organization is sponsored by the American Vocational Association of both the United States and Canada for promoting vocational work in its various phases. The Work and opportunities of the club this year were extensive. Various lecturers were brought to Marion, giving the students a chance to hear them. The members of the Club won the majority of the prizes at the Poultry and Corn shows ini the county contest. Teams composed of the different members of the club demonstrated during the course of the year various features to farm bureaus and other clubs. Each student had a home project for the summer. He was given the liberty of choosing any one he wished to do. Some had ive acre cornlots, pigs, calves, poultry and bees. One member took as his problem the raising of Flemish Giant rabbits. Last year a park was started on the agri- cultural farm near the Memorial Field. This year the members enlarged it ox- tending the grove to the West end of the tract, planting more trees and shrubbery. Also the club was represented in the round-up at Purdue, May 4-7.

The Marion High School Latin Club is one of the peppiest and largest organizations in the school, having a membership of about sixty Latin students, representatives from the Caesar, Cicero. and Vergil divisions. It is the oldest continual school club, and, all during its existence, it has done commendable work in creating, maintaining, and extending a beneficial in- terest in the subject of Latin as taught in the High School curriculum. The club meetings, held monthly in the school building, are remarkably well at- tended, due largely to the fact that the program committee, with the aid of the sponsors, has at each meeting provided a diversined, interesting, and instructive program. Talks on Roman customs and people, debates, and games with a Latin background have contributed their part to the program. The club itself is modelled from the Roman government having as its ex- ecutive department two consuls, who alternately preside at the six regular meet- ings. Three aediles, serving as the program committee. and two quaestors, who are the secretary and treasurer, are the remaining oflicers. The consuls of this school year of 1926-27 are Clifton Grant and Will Hildebrand, the quaestors are Karolyn Meyer, Secretary, and Charlotte Woodmansee, Treasurer, and the aediles are Miriam Bahr, Margaret Clawson, and Mason Hamilton. County Latin Contest Winners i l Top Row'-Pence, Reese, Clawson, Stewart Bottom Row-Broughman, Meyers, Rhorer, Woodmansee ACH year for the last four years, it has been the custom of the Marion High School to enter contestants in the Latin contests, sponsored by the ex- tension department of Indiana University. This series of contests, four in num- ber, consists of the local contest from which the Winners of first and second place in each of the five divisions are entered in the county contest. From this contest also the Winners of first and second place in each division are entered in the district contest, from which only the winners of first place in each division go to Bloomington to take the state Latin examination. which is the final test. In both district and state contests, gold, silver, and bronze medals ard awarded to the first, second and third in each division. Marion has established an enviable record in the Latin contests during her four years of participation, and this year, she secured eight firsts and seconds in Division IA, Esther Pence and Herbert Reece were awarded first and second respectively. Division II was represented by Margaret Clawson, first, and Hunter Stewart, second. The champion of Cicero's orations was Donnave Meyers, who won first in Division III, while Virgil, Division IV, was won by Charlotte Woodmansee with Roger Rhorer second. In the district Latin Contest held at Wabash, March 26, Marion acquired two first places and all the seconds. Herbert Reece triumphed in IA and Roger Rhorer received the gold medal in IV. Mary Broughman, Esther Pence, Hunter Steward, Donnave Meyers and Charlotte Woodmansee received silver medals in their various divisions. In the state contest held April 8th, Herbert Reece placed second in Division IA and Roger Rhorer placed third in Division IV.

The' of- ficers this year were as follows: Joseph Hamilton, President: Gladys Wilcox, Vice-President: Margaret Bradbury, Secretary: and Dixie Elkins, Treasurer, The elections are held at the beginning of every school year and the oflicers hold their positions until the end of the year. The club was named Hflbur, Espanol Cl-li, Spaniardj. The meetings are held on the first and third Thursdays of each month and special meetings may be called whenever necessary. There were about fifty members in the club during the year, which included some Spanish pupils from Martin Boots and some members who were not taking Spanish. The object of the club is to create a greater interest in Spanish by help- ing the members to become familiar with the use of Spanish in speech and to have social activities conducted along Spanish lines and with Spanish customs. The emblem of the club is a pin of black and gold letters, A. E., set in the black center which is surrounded by a gold rim. The requirements for membership in the club are one year of Spanish and a grade of 85 or better. If the enthusiasm so far made manifest continues, the school may count herself fortunate to have the organization made a permanent asset.

Those who felt the call of the stage in their blood grouped themselves into the organization called the Dramatic Club: the gentle followers of Vergil into the Latin Club, for protection. Thus the Literary Club was formed. A goal composed of two definite purposes was established immediately. First: to arouse more interest in the classics as well as in modern literature, and second, to discover the rising poets and authors of the future. Without a doubt they have been found. We say and say it Without fear of successful contradic- tion that some of the poems written by the members will be inscribed, at some time IH the Hall of Fame.

Cole, Robbins, Jay, Burson Third Row-Green, Meyer, Bradbury, Baumfzartner, Jay, Merriman GREAT many students of today do not realize the value and necessity of good penmanship. The penmanship classes of the high school, under the super- vision of M, S, Cole, endeavor to raise the standards of penmanship in Marion High School. Certificates are granted only to those who are proficient in a rapid muscular- movement writing. ln this class there were twelve, winning certificates this year and five who had Won them the previous year. These five were not eligible for the na- tional examination this year because of having written on it and received a certificate the year before. The classes are increasing every year and with the increase from year to year Mr. Cole is hoping to have a large class of expert penmen with every one passing the examination. A commercial contest which includes typewriting, penmanship, short- hand, and bookkeeping is held every year for commercial students all over the state. The students first tryout in the district, where the Marion contestants usually have the pleasure of contesting in their own school. Then the team or individual goes to the State Contest which is held at Muncie, Those winning in the state receive awards. Four of the students who won certificates at school this year were entered in the State contest, three of the four participated in the contest, one served as alternate. Those entered Were: Robert Comer, Zoe Baum- gartner, Max Robbins, and Doris Rounds. f i 1 L, ,,, ,A 'Y f A i Q5 fl X 'H ,ag LM s fi 1 N I X il X' S4 . . 1. .. :Q A' - - . ta li 1 -. f 'f I , V, l I il . . if il .L . 1.

One of the most important factors in the music department is the band. conducted by Prof, Coloston R. Tuttle. This is a splendid organization and its conductor is es- teemed one of the best in the state. This year the band has been very active. playing at all the football and basketball games and giving concerts. A smaller division of the band. the Trumpet and Drum Corps, has been organized this year. The Trumpets are of the Aida type, about four feet long. Another very active part of the Music department is the Ciirls' Glee Club. It has entertained the assembly many times, as has its companion club, the Boys' Glee Club. The vocal instruction for the first semester was under the di- rection of Miss Vvlise. Upon her withdrawal. Miss Christine Kendall assumed charge and has been doing remarkable work. After due consideration the operetta The Belle of Barcelona was selected to be presented by the Music Department. John Haner as Hal, the hero, made a dashing lover and Rebecca Snyder, a beautiful heroine. The remainder of the cast portrayed the story with superb characterization. The story was very well worked out and interest was kept at the highest pitch throughout the per- formance. Marion High is lavishly supplied with musical talent of all descriptions and many musical numbers have been presented during the school year. Musical ability is being encouraged more and more each year both by the faculty and by popular acclaim and each year a marked improvement is to be noted. This year a truly good department has been produced and the instructors of the department look forward to an even better season next year. and expect to develop some entirely new talent.

Both of' this year's instructors in the art of vocal melody labored long and tirelessly to instill this fact in the minds of the girls who were musically or not musically inclined. Wonderful results came from their valiant efforts. One year the girls worked especially hard and won first prize in the state contest, Dean McCutcheon and Schumann-Heinck were judges which made the honor conferred still greater. Although no other prizes have been won the club has been a group of which the school has been proud. This last year the club sang for various luncheons and programs. The operetta or musical comedy given the first part of May was the chief triumph. lt was a Spanish composition entitled the Belle of Barcelona, with Rebecca Snyder depicting the Spanish beauty and John Haner her American lover. The production was a gratifying success, both to the audience and singers. Martha Tippey and Andrew Whitehurst were the hilarious, laugh- ter bringing pair, and the wooing of Margarita's sister, Mercedes, by Emilio, the Toreador, was an example for many Hbashful beausf' Dorothy Winchell played the part of the former and John Moore Hstrutted his stuff' as the bull lighter. Victor Hood made a wicked villain and the minor parts of Margarita's friends were enacted quite successfully. 'The Glee Club is a comparatively new organization in the high school curriculum and its rapid growth in popularity and eiiiciency has been remarkable. Boys' Glee Club Top Row---Snotlirrass, Jones, Wimmer, Nall, Recd, Miller Second Row--Meredith, Bower, Suze, Clevemzer. Nichols, Goltlinir, Saxon Third Row-Whitehurst, Schwaner, Moore, Miss Wise. Keim, Olive-r. Richardson T HAS never been definitely determined why boys are so loathe to sing. If boys are told they can't sing, they stop trying while girls make up their minds to show that teacher. However it may be, the fact remains that both vocal teachers succeeded iby magic or some other methodl to bring forth me- lodious sounds from the throats of some twenty or thirty boys. Under the supervision of Miss Wise the boys brought back first prize in the State Glee Club Contest the same year the girls won the one hundred dollar prize offered to the best Girls' Glee Club in Indiana. Madam Schumann- Heinck presented the prizes and kissed each girl. Miss Wise was in an agony of suspense for a few minutes, but the boys were not similarly honored. The boys were dashing young Senors in the musical comedy this semester. Part of them played the parts of U. S. Marines. There were few solo voices, but the other voices blended well and made a good chorus. A few soloists were found who had never dreamed of singing. The same was true in the feminine portion of the vocal musicians. The harsh, shouting type of singing derived from congregational merry- making was difficult to eliminate, but patient efforts on the part of the instruc- tors culminated in the spectacular success of the operetta. Ciiven a few more years, the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs of Marion High are going, to do wonderful things. Lets boast them and help them to win an- other frrst prize. Drum and Bugle Corps Top Row--Mickel, Dixon, Mautz, Hartman Second Row-Bauserman, Marchal, Carey, Hollingsworth, Dodd Third RowiDowns, Foulke. Smith, Hardimon, Winder, Foster Fourth Row-Hamilton, Hartley, Bullet, Johnson, Wilson, Darrow, Jones HE Drum and Bugle Corps, a new venture in the band line, has proved very successful this year. This organization was begun for the first time in Sep- tember and is the only one in the State of Indiana. At first it was doubtful whether it would prove at all profitable, but the members have practiced so faithfully all winter that it has been a success and will probably be a permanent organization in Marion High hereafter. Because of the fact that the member- ship was composed entirely of Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors, the Corps will remain intact next year. Twenty-one boys made up this band, and. since these members did not at- tend the same school, night practice was held. The instrumentation was compos- ed of twelve Fanfare or' Aida trumpets of the variety used by orchestras, cym- phonies, and in grand opera and nine Leedy street drums which are the very best for street playing, for they are especially large and give a greater volume. ume. The purpose of the Corps is to give flash and individuality to a band and is used only for parading. The members of the Corps have been trained in their particular line until constant practice has almost welded them into one body. They have been coached in teamwork and the facility with which they perform is a testimonial of the result. Though many of the members are Freshmen, the constant drilling has produced veterans of many parades and a body of musical students of which M.H.S. may be justly proud.

Tuttle. Last year with the old band as a nucleus Prof. Tuttle built up a wonderful organization. With the addition of two baritones, one sousaphone, one bass. one bassoon, and an oboe the band made an unusual display and brought much glory to her Alma Mater. In the state contest at Indianapolis last spring Marion was headed by Technical High School only. Later when the band went to Fostoria it succeeded in capturing seventh place against the strongest high school bands in the country., This year Mr. Tuttle had an even stronger organization than last year in spite of the fact that he lost about fifteen of his most seasoned men by gradu- ation. During the year the band presented three concerts before local audiences. The band also brought great honor to Marion High when they won the State Band Contest held at Elkhart, May 6th and 7th. They received a grade of 93 percent while Emerson of Gary was second with 91 M, and Froebel of Gary was third with 91 M. ' L a L I N. 4 3 Coach Eugene Thomas EUGENE 'THOMAS graduated from Fortville High School and entered Indiana University. While there, he received three football letters, three basketball letters, two track letters and two baseball letters. He also received the Gimbel medal, a medal given to the member of the Senior class who has shown the best mental attitude toward athletics. On graduating in 1923 he took up his duties as Coach in Marion High School. He introduced track as a major sport. He has turned out an all-state basketball team and several good football teams. For the present he will con- tinue in the capacity of coach of Marion High. football teams. ff--T'----46,-'f,3,Q-5 - v-,1E5,fQ3f4-:s1m,-::.,.W-.,,---,- --- -41:-vzpmu 1.-a,.,,,W --- , - :,....::.:,pc::3l:4.::..cc:.,h:.,., -- '-- - .-'-r..,...2f,.,,.1'-' ---- -3,:::.,-.z-,rr- ' .

The Giants Won all but the one with Mishawaka and although this did not Win the conference, they finished second and established themselves as one of the five strongest football teams in Indiana. By defeating Muncie and Wabash, the Giants Won state-wide recogni- tion. In the backfield with Quarterback Heck as field general, Hodge, our hard hitting fullback and Davidson, Johnson, Chasey, Custer and Stickann alternat- Chapman Kilgore ing as halfbacks, the Thomas-men had a smooth and powerful offense.

Although this was Carmel's iirst year at football, they fought hard, but were handicapped by lack of experience. Marion then traveled to the den of the Bearcats and proceeded to tame them. For four consecutive years Muncie had triumphed over the Purple and Gold, but this year the tables were turned. After trailing Muncie throughout the Miller Johnson Y' ii' i Heck g , e Pram Q, ' game, the Giants opened their strong aerial attack and during the nnal moments of play, carried the ball from mid-field over the Muncie goal and emerged from the Held of mud, the victors, 6-2. The Gerstmeyer team of Terre Haute was next to bow to the Giants. With the entire team playing fine football, Marion carried the ball down the muddy field, scoring l9 points and holding Gerstmeyer scoreless. Marion then journeyed to Mishawaka for the first Big Ten game and re- ceived a set back in her championship aspirations. Heavily out-weighed, the Giants fought hard, but were unable to stop the strong Mishawaka team. It was no disgrace to lose to Mishawaka who won all her games and who was considered by many as the strongest team in the state. Next week took the Giants to Dayton, to battle one of Ohio's strongest elevens. Out-played the first half, the Giants came back strong, showing real skill and lighting spirit, but the rush was started too late and when the final whistle blew the Teddies were ahead,l3-7. In this game David-son was hurt and unable to play any more during the season. After two successive defeats, the Giants doled out revenge by defeating Sheridan. With their powerful aerial attack Marion scored three times, while Sheridan was unable to score against the Marion defense. In the hardest fought game on Memorial Field this year the Giants crushed the strong Richmond team, 12-O. This was the last conference game and left Marion with a record of three wins and one defeat.

This is the Marion M club, the members of which are all old high school athletes. ' The prime purpose of the club is to foster and encourage all high school athletics, to foster the highest ideals in all sports and vigorously to oppose anything savoring of professionalism and unfair play. The M club was first organized about six years ago by a group of old Marion high school athletes who felt that as an organized group they could better lend support to the high school athletes of the present. Allen G. Messick, one of the most famous of the oldxtime athletes of lVl.H.S., was the club's first president. Every Marion High School athlete that ever won the highly coveted in basketball, football or track is eligible to membership. There is a move- ment on foot among the club members to present the wearers of the in each year's graduating classs with a small gold and a year's membership in the club. Ofhcers of the club at present are George M. Coon, president: J. Blaine Long. vice-president, and Clarence Thomas, secretary-treasurer. The club has been especially active in fostering friendly relationship with schools in neighboring cities.

At time the Giants played well, giving the best teams in the state a gruelling battle. Then they would go into a slump and be defeated by much weaker teams. The season opened with a victory over the Noblesville quintet. This was followed by victories over Central of Ft. Wayne and Greenfield. A visit to Warsaw and Anderson gave the Giants two more victories to their credit. Then Vincenneacame north and by defeating the Giants 29-26, gained possession of the Victory Brick, which Marion had held since the state tournament last year. A rough and terrible game with Kokomo gave the Giants another defeat. These defeats sent Marion into a slump and she easily fell before Bedford. Anderson, Kokomo, and Rochester by one-sided scores. In a return game with Bedford the Giants hit their stride and out-played the fast Stone Crushers throughout the game, only to weaken in the final moments and lose by two points. The game was the best the Giants played this year and showed that when they were going at top speed they could give any team in the state a close battle. The next night Marion walked from Wabash, 52-25. The Giants then traveled to Frankfort and put up a real fight the first half holding Frank- fort to a tie, but they weakened in the second half and Frankfort won easily. Three nights later the Giants fell the same way before Martinsville, who later won the State Championship of 1927. ln a slow and poorly played game the Muncie Bearcats defeated the Giants, 25-14 at Muncie. A northern invasion netted the Giants a defeat by Gary and a victory over South Bend. Once more Marion fell before the fast Muncie team 43-17. Marion played well but was unable to connect with the basket. ln the last game of the season Bloomington defeated the Giants in a hard fought game, 27-23. Sectional Tournament The sectional tournament was held at the Civic Hall and was the closest one ever held in Marion. Marion eliminated Sweetser 27-16 in the morning and in the afternoon disposed of Upland 41-26. Fairmount went through their schedule and met Marion in the final game. The game was one of the closest ever played in Civic Hall. Both, teams put up a strong defense in the first half' which ended with Marion leading 10-6. Fair- mount started a shower of baskets in the second half and was leading until Ma- rion came back strong and won by one point, 23-22. Regional Tournament ln the first game of the Tourney the Giants defeated Montpelier 22-15. The game was hard fought and closely contested throughout. Then Kokomo eliminated Marion in the final game, 26-19. This game was very rough through- out, both sides having many fouls. Thus ended the season for the Giants of 1926-27, and although they did not go as far as their predecessors they fought hard throughout the season and gave their best for the Purple and Gold. 1 1. , ,' .V l 1 .1 .

Coach Thomas organized an Intramural League. Any team of high school students could enter. The league was divided into four divisions and V. V. Smith was placed in charge of it. ln division one were the Hot Shots, Wolverines, Scrappy Five and Sky- rockets. ln division two the Nighthawks. Hi-Y Cardinals, Acme and Wonder Five. ln division three were the Ramblers, All Stars, Wampus Kittens and Doo Dads, Division four consisted of the Galloping Ghosts, Hardwood Snails, Blue Devils and Bearcats. After a schedule of games the Vyfolverines won in division one, the Night- hawks in division two, Ramblers in division three and the Galloping Ghosts in division four. A tournament was held to decide the champion of the league. After a bitter struggle the Wolverines defeated the Nighthawks in a close game and the Galloping Ghosts won the right to play in the Hnals by defeating the Ramblers. In the final game the Wolverines consisting of Heck, Chasey, Hodge, Fraser McDonough and Fixel easily defeated the Galloping Ghosts and won the Intra- mural Championship for l927. Track Season .

Marion won easily scoring 63 points against Peru's 36 points. Marion again emerged the victor in a triangular meet with Westfield and Elwood. Marion scored 63 points, Westfield 2l points and Elwood 15 points. x A trip to Ft. Wayne gave the track team another victory. Central easily fell before the Giants who scored 6256 points to their 362 points. Then came the county track meet at Memorial Field. Amid flurries of snow Marion tied Fairmount for first honors, each scoring 32 points. The two teams tossed a coin to decide who should receive the cup, and Fairmount won the toss. Five county records were broken by the contending teams, Marion breaking three of them. Davidson shattered the century run. Stickann broke the 220 dash record and the Marion half-mile relay team broke the county record by ZX5 of a second. Davidson, Stickann and Chasey led the team in scoring. Among the track men who graduate this years are Davidson, Chasey and Usher, whose loss will be especially felt by the coach in his efforts to construct a track team for next year, This year has been one of triumphs on the cinder path, but the team has been weak in the Held events. However, this being the first year for Marion with a home track, the record is outstanding. Those members of the team who scored a certain number of points will be given sweaters and Marion expects to have several letter men about whom to build the track team of next year. Stickann has been showing up well in the dashes as has Isselhardt in the hurdles. Knipple, Price, Kightlinger, Duke, Paul- lus, Miller, and Bollet have also been doing good work, The district track meet was held at Marion and was followed by the state meet held at Indianapolis. A big year is expected in 1928. Tennis Team TWO years ago Marion High School had a tennis team. coached by Clifford Pribble, who also coached the track team. A very successful season was the result. Last year Professor Pribble was unable to coach a tennis team as too much of his time was taken up by track. This year a tennis team was organized again, coached by Professor James Mock. Great enthusiasm was manifested by the students and a good turnout began practise in the gym almost before the snow was off the ground. Not all who came out for tenni-s were boys, as it had been decided to have a girls ten- nis team also, thus making tennis the only M.H.S. sport in which girls may compete. As soon as the weather had modified to a slight extent, the embryo Mal rionnetters prepared a tennis court and outdoor practice began. Double teams were organized, both boys, girls, and mixed. Some of the aspirants who dis- played some real ability were Duncan, Oliver, Grant, Pixel, Case, Warner, and Pope. Two of these. Fixel and Warner, were veterans of the former team or- ganized by Coach Pribble. The first meet was held at Marion with the Central netmen of Ft. Wayne. The long hours of practice and earnest effort were duly awarded. Of the tennis teams, Grant, Oliver, Pixel, Warner and Case graduate, but among the undergrads, Duncan, Moore, Paynter, Pope and Flannigan, have been show- ing fine form and the reserves have given the regulars many strong battles in practice. As in all first years many obstructions had to be met and overcome this year by the tennis teams, but hereafter it is expected that it will become an established factor in the Marion High School athletics. This year's team was in a degree a trial, but a successful one, and most optimistic hopes are held for future teams. Not so long ago athletics were regarded by high school authorities as utterly unnecessary and irrevalent, However, it is coming more and more to be recognized that athletic activities are a splendidly beneicial part of the high school curriculum. As time has passed, more diversified kinds of sports have been added to the schedule of the athletic department and tennis is the latest sport added to that of M.H,S. .Inna 1 X f V ,.AAAM-,A,AAAAAA A ,M ..,,.A.A.A,A.,.A.,A WMA.-- ,,,. .AAN gEgf?,::,::,W.... .A.M,x5:?:tMW.:::?.g::.,,,.,.,.,.N.,:,A,,WA.---.,,,..,...,.....,.,-..W.M.-.-ff wf.w- 11.7, ,QA 'f'5'V: V I 1 'VALAHXJ7' A in -fu f , A ' 'ff X V A'A'ffVf V wfA'fViA VA 3 in A A AA VY? ii 1 .V f v' f f If ,LTA .K ly T, A A 1: fx IAA A , Vv,1V,I+f QA.QiyA 35, 1 Qlff' V 'QNsJ'pVf 5 V 22 V 'Ezjk yy fl:-Af.
