But it is our humble obligation, by means of this book to add what we can to the eulogy of our Hoosier state. From lake bound sand dunes to rolling forested hills, some part of Indiana lives and breaths in every one of us, and imbued with this majestic influence we seek to perpetuate in this annual, fragments of that beauty. Indiana is possessed of practical beauty which we feel is present in forests of virgin timber, fertile and beautiful fields, rich coal mines, productive limestone quarries, and lastly the simplicities of everyday life. Primeval Indiana to the pioneer meant in most cases a bountiful store of necessities, but today we recognize and cultivate the natural beauties of the state. To you who have gone before, and to you who may come after, we give Beautiful Indiana. PtIllOf'HlIIfC' view showing lake, yields, bills , . ll.

Hi 1- JOHN W. KENDALI. OHN WESLEY KENDALL, just now completing his 14th year as principal of our high school, has endeared himself in the hearts of all who have come in contact with him. It is his greatest interest to instill in the students of the school the desire to work for a goal, to attain something higher in life. His every act is characterized by his effort to carry out this ambition. Indiana and its history are the chief interests of our principal who is constantly enriching his own knowledge of this subject and has always been quite ready to pass it on to the students. Mr. Kendall favors the quotation of Sarah T. Bolton: The winds of Heaven never fanned, the cir- cling sunlight never spanned, the borders of a fairer land than our own Indiana. l13l Q ' QJSEL, 4 AVELINE A WILI-IITE BALLINGER HANES V. A.

Al- though a little shaky and awed by the upper-classmen, they were anticipating the many pleasant days ahead. ' As a result of the first election, Carter L. Davidson became president of the class. Under his leadership the class gained a live-wire reputation which has followed it up to the present time. Paul Burke led the class through a junior year outstanding in social activities. The senior election of '34 was a battle royal among the many capable lead- ers in the class, but a wholly satisfactory solution was gained by the election of Jack Snyder, president: Elaine Van Blaricon, vice-president: Carolyn Stephen- son, secretary: and Jack Hill, treasurer. The class activities of the year have been numerous. and successful. Social activities began with a party in the high school gym. Work on the Cactus Frolic and Easter Parade, and winning honors in the Thanksgiving charity drive added to the senior laurels. Possibly the outstanding event of the year was the crowning of the Easter Queen. By popular vote the students of Marion High School made it known that only LaVerne Bradford, senior, could so capably hold this high honor. On Arbor Day, April 13, seniors planted an elm tree in front of the school to replace the tree donated by a former class. Ceremonies befitting the occasion -,399 ' were held. - Senior week came for the class of '34, as in former years, with the senior ljii, A program, picnic at Wawonaissa Glens, Baccalaureate services, and finally the 3,,fa,-A-gi Commencement giving us a sense of gaiety, and yet leaving us with memories not ll to be easily forgotten.

THE JUNIOR CLASS DURING THE last few days of November, of last year, the Junior Class held the spotlight of prominence in Marion High School. It was then that the class election was being held. A spirited campaign preceded the election and was beneficial to the extent that it brought out several of the class's best leaders as candidates for ofiice. The result of the voting was that Delbert Trueman was named president: John Fox, vice-president: Jack Davis, secretary, and Anal- deen Jones, treasurer. Miss Wortman and Miss Craft were again appointed class sponsors. The first party of the year was held in the high school gymnasium. This was the Eskimo Hop and was held on December 15. The significant fact con- cerning this party was that it was the Hrst time that the gym had been used for dancing. The committee-in-charge was headed by Jack Davis, assisted by Frank Gartland, Doris Davis, and Dorothy Davis. Carl Shelton's orchestra was engaged to provide music for dancing. The gym was beautifully decorated with Christmas trees and colored lights. While refreshments were being served in the cafeteria, a shower of confetti was blown down by fans. Other outstanding social events held during the year were the class picnic, held at Camp Kilowatt, and the Junior Prom, at the Meshingomesia Country Club, north of the city, on May 18. Jack Davis was again named to head the executive committee. The Juniors took an active part in the Cactus Erolic and Easter Parade. They were second in both the Library book shower, and the Thanksgiving charity drive. During the book shower, the class ran a close second to the Soph- mores and of the 3,400 books donated the Juniors gave 1,400 of them. The 31 class has also been noteworthy in the contributions to the athletic squads. N? .T 'sa lift 9 3-.A . i?fQ,.61m.x 3 nnnziv LX: F7375 l 40 1 5' - ' S 'Lf : 'T 1 'K :Tgm 'ii11-.

They elected Jack Gelder, president: Donald Stephens, vice-president: Liberta Stephenson, secretary: and Robert Shannon, treasurer, to guide them thru the year's activities. The sponsors of the class were Miss Florence Heck and Miss Marion Breadheft. Students of the class immediately became active in school affairs helping to make the Cactus Frolic of November 9, a success. Three representatives from the class, Jack Gelder, Jerry Torrence and LaVonne Leech were members of the Booster committee. Several members of this class were awarded positions in the concert band, orchestra, and ensembles, and as soloists. Altogether they have displayed much talent which has made them an asset to Marion High School. On January 9, the nrst party of the year was held in the novelty form of a Jungle Jamboree. The committee in charge was Donald Stephens, chair- man, Grace Anna Smith and LaVonne Leech. Held in the school gym with Carl Shelton and his orchestra playing for the dance, the party was a success. A floor show, cards. bingo, and ping pong were other features of entertainment. Cooperating with the entire school in putting over the Book Shower for the school library, the sophomores won over the juniors and seniors by donating the largest number of books. The total number donated by Sophomores was l,600. , The class was revealed to contain no little talent when the Sophomore pro- gram was held during the last month of school. The year's activities were brought to a close with the annual picnic held the last week of the school term. Donald Stephens was in charge.

AWARDS UTSTKNDING AMONG the major awards given to graduating seniors of Marion High School are the Kiwanis Builds For- ever Awards, presented to the eleven highest ranking students of the class. The awards were lirst presented in 1922, at which time the prizes were in the form of money. The first prize was twenty dollars in cash. Several years later this policy was changed and medals are now awarded the winners. First prize consists of a gold medal with a diamond set: second prize is a gold medal with a ruby set: and the remain- ing nine prizes are gold medals. Until last year the pre- sentation was carried out at the Commencement ex- ercises, W i t h Principal John W. Kendall making the awards. However, last year the ceremony was held in the high school audi- torium with the student b.ody as an audience. The entire Kiwanis Club was assembled on the stage and the awards were presented by Mr. Paul Jones, presi- dent of the club. WINSLOW STEPHENS WILSON Diamond Medalist Ruby Medalist Third K. B.

MARY BUTLER Associate Editor 1 9 3 4 ISSJ JACK HOOPER Business Manager GLADYS LEWIS Treasurer THE CACTUS N NOVEMBER 10, last year, the 1934 yearbook consisted mainly of a few well-sharpened pencils, a sheaf of blank paper, and several more or less workable ideas. On that day the execu- tive board of the Cactus was appointed by Principal Kendall. Two weeks later the staff was appointed and the actual work on the publication of the year- book was begun. Since then the pencils have been worn to stubs, the paper has completely been used, and the ideas have all been either discarded or metamorphosed, until to- day the 1934 Cactus is complete. Just twenty-six years ago the Hrst yearbook under the name of The Cactus was published. This is the sixteenth volume to be issued under that name, The Cactus has been consistently pre- eminent in quality, repeatedly winning honors in state and national competi- tion. For the past several years the book has been rated either All-American or given First Class Honor Rating in the National Contest sponsored by the University of Minnesota. lt also ranked among the best annuals in the I. H. S. P. A. contest sponsored by Franklin College.

However, it was necessary to discontmue those classes this year, so the students of the whole school undertook to issue the paper, l under the supervision of B. H. Penrod, Director of Publications. At the Indiana High School Press Association, Mr. Nell, professor at Northwestern University, was the critic of the local paper and spoke favorably of it. Mr. Nell and Miss Leitch, critic of the yearbook, appear in the picture on this page. Special issues published this year were: the Christmas issue, the sectional and regional basketball issues, and the April Fool's Day scandal sheet. With a large number of students contributing to the paper from time to time it was a most successful year for The Survey. The editorial staff of the paper was composed of: Morris A. Hamilton, and Paul T. Stewart, co-editors: Robert C. Moore, exchange editor: George Helnzmann, and Edward Bloch, sport editors: Carolyn Stephenson, columnist: and Julia Ann Roehm, typist. The following people were associated with the business staff of the paper: Deborah Hale and Harold Abbott, business managers: William Roessler, circula- tion manager: .Matt Ober, Jr., assistant circulation managerg B.

The team this year participated in thirty debates, including meets with Frankfort, Wiley of Terre , , Haute, Rushville, North Vernon, Jefferson of LaFayette, Greentown, Wabash, Huntington, Dunkirk, Anderson, Eaton and Elwood. During the first part of the season the local team entered a debate conference at Anderson. There the team met Greensburg, Lagro, Knightstown. Lebanon, and Colum- bia City. The Marion debate squad was in charge of and coached by V. A. Smith, English and Dramatic teacher. It is largely due to his efforts that debating has met with such approval on the part of students of the high school here. The captains of the teams Were named at the be- ginning of the year as Ralph Erlewine, aflirmative captain, V- A- SMITH and Carter L. Davidson, negative captain. Erlewine is a junior and will be on next year's team. Martha Jane Griliith, junior will also be available for next year's debating. Silent members of the affirmative and negative teams were David Hancock and Jack Hooper, respectively. Carter L.

This year the club is no exception, having kept the standard set by previous clubs intact. The club has a closed membership, and at the present time there are approximately sixty names on the roster. These fellows were voted in by the al- ready existing members over a period of the last three years. They have been sworn to carry out the club's standards of Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Sports, and Clean Schol- arship. Hi-Y activities of the past year have been widely varied. Some of the most notable ones were the Alumni Banquet, held during Christmas vacation: the banquet of March 26, at which the members of the basketball team were guests, and the Older Boys' Conference held here April 17 and 18. The club also sponsored a school-wide Hello Week during the Hrst week in March. O t h e r outstanding events of the year were the Mother-Son banquet, May 16, the several Hi-Y-Girl Reserve parties. and the faculty banquet.

ART CLUB RT HAS been one of the chief interests of the world for many centuries and nearly every country boasts of its line works in this line. ln order to become better acquainted and more familiar with some of these great works the students of the art classes of Marion High School formed the Art,Club. The club' this year has accomplished much toward its purpose and is one of the leading organizations in the school, both in membership and activities. At the beginning of the year Rex Kennedy was selected to head the club: Earl Dille was elected vice-president, Ruth Myers, secretary: and Donald Hesher, treasurer. Miss Grace Cleveland, art instructor, acted as club sponsor and assisted the club in several downtown exhibits. The exhibits created a great deal of local interest. Indiana University Art Exhibit, two exhibits of student's work, a sale of some student creations, the money from which went to defray a part of the expenses of the club, were among the works of the club this year. The club was responsible for much of the art work of the Cactus Frolic and the Easter Parade. They also did a'great deal of work in planning and supplying settings, table decorations, and signs, for other club banquets, shows, and parties. Several 'social events were sponsored by the club, among them a dance and an organization meeting at the home of Ruth Myers: a skating party at Van Buren: and a spring picnic and sketching hike at Deer Creek. ag., ,g,f.1 '5f is 1 fav, -TFT-. ga Tup row, left to right--Moore, Layman, Botkin, Curtner, Dille, Kennedy, Watson, Enyeart.

Each meeting was carried out in true French fashion, games, contests, and songs all being done in French. Under the direct supervision of Miss Elizabeth Brownlee, to whom much credit is given for the success of the club, each meeting proved to be of exceeding interest and created a better knowledge of French customs and modes of living. Officers elected for the year were: Betty Cochrane, president: Charles Col- bert, vice-president: Margaret Morgan, secretary: and Virginia Wodtke, treas- urer. Every effort was made on the part of the officers to make this year's club the finest yet to be experienced. During the year a chili supper was held at the home of Miss Brownlee, a Weiner roast was given at the National Veterans' Administration Hospital, and the annual May breakfast was enjoyed at the home of Virginia Wodtke. One of the outstanding attractions of the second annual Cactus Frolic was Fan Chonette, the fan-dancer, a Marionette show, sponsored by the club. Many of the club members are carrying on a correspondence with high school students in France who are studying the English language. Through this medium they are becoming better acquainted with the modern-day French people. The ad- vanced members of the club were present at a tea given by Les Jaseuses, the adult French Club of Marion, when Miss Helen Jackson, French instructor of Ball State Teachers College, spoke in French concerning her observations of French life and customs on her visit to that country.

The two consuls presided alternate- ly at the meetings. They were assisted by the aediles, Roberta Meguiar, Kathryn Bowman, and Norma Fite in planning the entertainment and programs. Praet- ors for the year were Mary Jane George and Anna Linelle Shrock. Six regular meetings, a skating party at Van Buren, and a picnic made up the club's activities for the year. The business at the meetings was conducted in the manner of the Roman government: the entertainment was in keeping with the Roman customs. Various meetings were based on Roman holidays. The meeting of May l, the annual May breakfast, was held in the high school cafe- teria, and provided an effective climax for the year. At the annual Cactus Frolic, the club sponsored a Roman theater featuring Tony Columbus, and also edited a news sheet for the occasion. The latter contained many news flashes and editorials concerning the latest doings, wise and otherwise, of the Eternal City. On February 24, Marion High School was the scene of the annual Grant County Latin contest. Lunch was served to the contestants, and entertainment was provided by the local Latin Club. si. -1149 Top row, left to right-W. Hooper, Booth, Batton, J. Davis, Torx-ence, F. Smith, E.

Many have found it profitable to join these groups where study goes hand in hand with enjoyment. That these classes are elective and that their number is always increasing proves their popularity, Various types of music have been studied from which interesting selections for programs have been made. Several of these programs were given before the student body by the two clubs jointly and severally. Among these were the customary Thanksgiving and Christmas musicales. All these programs featured soloists from the two groups. For the lirst time members of the club entered the district solo contest spon- sored by Indiana University but held at Fort Wayne. These entrants were Betty Ober, Robert Merritt, Eugene Norman, Charles Colbert, and Evelyn Y. Anderson. Merritt was successful in placing among the five entrants eligible for the state contest at Bloomington, Indiana. The final appearance of the two clubs was at the Baccalaureate service on June 3. in the high school auditorium. The Senior members belonging to the organization sang at the Commencement exercises on June 6. Accompanists were Mary Florence McClure for the Girls' Glee Club and Anna Linelle Shrock for the Boys' Glee Club.

Jones the Concert Band has succeeded in keep- ing up to the high standard set in previous years. The soloists and en- sembles, as in former years, dominated the contests they entered. As has been done formerly, the band played for all the football and basketball games throughout the year. The band also gave a concert at the National Sanatorium on New Year's Day. Tag day, March 31, was held to defray the expenses of the band going to the contest at Crawfordsville. Tags, bearing the slogan: Rush the Band to Crawfordsvillef' were sold on the downtown streets by members of the band. The band concert held April 2 was one of a series of instrumental concerts under the direction of Mr. Jones. The other two concerts were: orchestra concert, April l8, and a concert by the soloists and ensembles held in May, Outstanding work was done throughout the year by the German band, an organization within the concert band. They played for the Lion's Club skat- ing party, the Scottish Rite Minstrel Show, the German Rathskeller, and sev- eral other functions in the city. The members of the German band were Paul Swathwood, Edward Keller, Richard Thorne, Richard Thompson, and William Thorne.

This musical group has done and is doing much to bring credit to the school. Under the capable direction of Lloyd DaC. Jones, the orchestra has Worked hard all winter to increase both the quality and quantity of the music in its repertoire and to improve the ensemble effect. The concert of April 18 showed that Mr. Jones had accomplished much along these lines. Some stringed instrument students from Martin Boots Junior High School are included with the high school members and the Wind and percussion instru- ments needed are taken from the concert band. This makes a total of forty- eight members in the group. The orchestra members also make up several ensembles that have won recognition in the contests they entered this year. A string quartette, a piano quintette, and several soloists won high honors in district and state competition. As in previous years, Mr. Jones selected a small ensemble, composed of eight members of the orchestra to provide music for the various clubs and organiza- tions of the city. This group completed more than fifty engagements during the school year. Among these engagements were the civic club luncheons, the de- partmental clubs, and various other parties and meetings. The group was com- posed of Ruth Cole, Kathryn Blinn, Robert Grant, Joseph Davis, Rosemary Parsons, Katherine Gabriel, and Beryl Lou McCoy. Top row, left to right-Woodmansee, Winchell, L. Ward, R.

The committee was organized for the purpose of increasing school spirit and interest in athletics. The committee this year con- sists of Mr. V. V. Smith, Elaine Van Blaricon, Arlyne Drook, LaVonne Leech, NVilliam Roessler, Jerry Torrence, Jack Gelder, Willard Bish, and Paul Burke. These people have worked hard to fulfill the purpose of the committee. They chose three cheer leaders from candidates picked by the student body and were responsible for having the clothing department make colorful gold and purple uniforms for the cheer leaders. They arranged Hpep sessions before the big football and basketball games which aroused interest and enthusiasm in the student body. They urged that no person should wear an M sweater who had not earned it. They were also responsible for selecting and buying the shields which contained the M. H. S. emblem. The shields were purchased from a Wholesale company and were sold to the students for eleven cents. This was the cost price to the committee. Ap- proximately 45O shields were sold to the students of the high school and of Martin Boots and McCulloch junior high schools. Cheer leaders chosen by the committee were Cilen Shook, Charles Hatton, and Robert Lancing. These boys are all juniors and will be back next year. The attractive purple, gold, and white uniforms, made for them by the clothing department, created a colorful atmosphere to the scene at basketball games. - Top row, left to right-Gelder, Bish, V. V.

Much of the credit for developing the substantial line should go to Jake, who has become pretty much of a permanent fixture along the sec- ond ranks of the Giants. Although not being as successful a season as Marion has been in the habit of enjoying in recent years, the Giants' '33 gridiron campaign was by no means a failure. Three games were won, four lost, and two tied, giving Coach Austin Smith's men a per- centage for the whole season of .429. The schedule opened on the first day of school. September ll, with a 7-0 victory over Westfield. Flashes of potential power were displayed although only one touch- down was scored, this by Bobo late in the final period. The closing gun ended a sec- ond lvlarion drive on Westfield's nineteen- yard line. Muncie invaded Memorial Field with a record of three victories over outstanding teams. Young, Bearcat fullback, led the visitors in a 24-6 triumph, scoring all the points himself. It was not until late in the fourth quarter that Weatherly crossed the goal on a pass from Burke. RONALD J ACOBSON On a soggy rain-soaked field, a fighting outfit of valiant gold-clad warriors held the much-heralded Kokomo Kats to a scoreless tie, the game being featured by the desperate defense the locals employed to check touchdown drives. Four times did the Wildcats cross lVlarion's ten-yard stripe, but in each instance they met a stonewall defense that held for downs. With Cherry, plunging all-state fullback, showing the way, Washington of Indianapolis smashed out a 14-0 conquest Friday afternoon, September 29. Morrell dashed 75 yards to the one-yard line, but in four downs Marion failed to take the ball across. The annual celebration of County Day was held here October 6, the main feature of the program being the tilt with Elwood. The Panthers scored twice in the first half before the locals solved their offense. After one Purple and Gold drive was stopped in the last period by the visitors a mere half yard from the goal, Baxter stepped outside the end zone while in the act of punting, automatically scoring a safety for Marion. A listless affair at Logansport. featured only by Marion's drive to the five- yard stripe. ended in a scoreless deadlock. However, a complete reversal of form was displayed the following week when the Smithmen held one of the state's strongest teams, Peru, to a one touchdown margin. Paul Burke, veteran quar- terback, was injured in this tussle, and was unable to play until the Wabash game. l75l A snappy alert squad snowed Kirkland under the following week, 26-6. Conner started the scoring with a 5-yard plunge after Jones had blocked a punt. Two minutes later Chambers sliced through and 'clawed down another punt: Clark, playing with his hand in a cast, waselected for scoring honors this time. Fox accounted for the third touchdown on a pass from Connor in the third quarter, and Bobo scampered across to end the festivities. Fighting for the right to hold possession of the Victory Bell for the third consecutive season, the Giants downed a light Wabash outfit, 6-0, to close an- other campaign. Bobo accounted for the score on a seven-yard plunge after an 84-yard sustained drive. The Giants were pressed hard to hold their lead after an Apache had recovered a fumble on the four-yard stripe in the closing period. However that old stonewall defense showed itself again, and Marion held for downs. Of the 17 men receiving major awards, Tom Jones, Edward Bloch. Max Clouser, George Bruner, Paul Burke, Paul Clark, and Robert Bobo have played their last game for Marion High School. Robert Gunyon, Lemoyne Duncan, Willard Chambers, Charles Yeager, Addison Marshall, John Dye, Wilson Weatherly, John Fox, James Conner, and Delbert Trueman will be back next year to carry the Purple and Gold banner forward. .P I 9 I 71- xf 1 l i f- 4 L ., f ,R Top row, left to right-Knauer, Dixon, Ba:tton, Vogel, Winters, Albright, Sav'esky, Thomas, Whisler, Mathews, Roessler, H.

'l'-5 ' M la 1771 CACTUS VARSITY BASKETBALL REVIEW THE FIGHTING GIANTS of the 1933-'34 hardwood, although not making an impressive record by any means, improved through the four months of play- ing until Coach Austin Smith entered a quintet in the semi-final tourney which pushed Wabash to the utmost in the regional for the right to enter the state finals at Indianapolis. A brilliant 22-15 victory over Logansport, later crowned state champions, headed the bright spots of the season. Marion took the lead at the start of this battle and held it throughout, hitting over thirty percent of their shots. Re- venge for an earlier defeat was gained on the Wildcats in a 21-20 victory made possible through a last minute field goal. A desperate last quarter rally finished Garrett off by four points. The next revenge, this time over I-Iuntington's Vikings, was realized when the visitors were sent away from Memorial Coliseum on the short end of a 26-22 count. A rough contest, resembling a wrestling match more than the court game, finished the season when Muncie eked out a 19-18 triumph. Entering the sectional tourney against the best group of teams ever assem- bled from the local county, the Fighting Giants captured the crown. After Upland was eliminated in the first round, Jonesboro, main threat, felt a 29-16 axe cut her district championship hopes in the semi-finals. Fairmount, the county's second best, was met and downed in the final round, 26-18. The first Wabash team ever to play in the Indianapolis finals knocked Marion off, 28-23, in their afternoon regional tussle. Tipton was taken in the finals by the state-bound Apaches. The Smithmen developed into a strong outfit near the close of the season. Chambers, although small, 'was a fast, hard player. Conrads had possibly the best basket-eye on the outfit. While Yeager, powerful center, was a bulwark on defense as well as offense. Weatherly, speedy deceptive fioorguard, and Mooney, one of the best backguards ever turned out by the school, rounded out the regu- lars. Harry Thomas, Delbert Trueman, Charles Shodlouski. John Fox, Earl Dille, Lemoyne Duncan. and John Dye were other men qualified for the final tourneys. Of these twelve men only Mooney and Dille graduate this spring.

Much is expected from second team members as recruits for next year's varsity. Of the eight losses sustained through the course of the entire schedule, four were avenged, and none of the other four teams was played a second time. After Delphi, Hartford City, Logansport, and Bluffton had taken the team into camp to start the season, South Side of Et. Wayne was downed and Shortridge of Indianapolis took a victory. At this point. Thomas, Trueman, Dye, Bloch, and Duncan were shifted from the first string to strengthen the seconds. Victories over Kokomo, Hart- ford City, Elwood, Garrett, and Huntington followed, Kokomo falling twice. Wabash, sinking a third of their shots, administered the worst defeat of the sea- son to the Little Giants. Following wins over Logansport, Peru, and Alexandria, a close contest wa dropped to Huntington, and one taken from Wabash. After Muncie's second annexed a decision, closing the schedule, Trueman, Thomas. Shodlouski. Dun- can, and Dye were shifted to the varsity for the sectional and regional tourneys.

The Hi-Y Cardinals won the flrst semester championship by defeating Ballard's Terrors 17 to 14. ln the second semester the Inkwell Imps won the championship: defeating the Wonder Five 29 to 27. The two semester win- ners then played and the Inkwell Imps came out victorious over the Cardinals by the margin of 12 to ll. The Inkwell Imps were formed during the first semester from members of the second team and were called the Ex-Subs. The members of the Hi-Y Cardinals, winners of the first semester and runners up in the second semester, were. Charles Campbell, Jack Snyder, Bob Moore. Jack Hill, George Thomas, Paul Clark, Bill Blake and Jack Davis. An All-Intramural team was chosen by Fred Lancing, secretary of the Board, as follows: Forwards-Charles Winters, Inkwell Imps and Eugene Sparks. Hot Shots: Center-Bob Moore, Hi-Y Cardinals: Guards-Bob Mer- ritt, Wonder Five and Edward Bevans, Ba1lard's Terrors. . Bob Moore of the Hi-Y Cardinals led the Loop scorers with 119 points.

TRACK OACHING HIS sixth Marion High School track team, Austin Smith started the season this spring with very few of last year's squad on which to build his present outfit. George Mills, Ed Riggs and Paul and Woodrow Burke, holders respectively of the all-time school records for the shot put, pole vault, half mile, and mile events, did not don track togs again this year. Other out- standing cinder artists who graduated were Dewey Johnson. John DeWolf, and Robert Kneipple. Robert Weesner and John Hill were the only veteran point-getters left for this season. However several men developed to capably fill the shoes of those ab- sent. Hill took third in the quarter-mile at the indoor state meet. Weesner ran the hundred yard dash in 10.6 seconds, and the 220 yard dash in 24.4 in the county meet. William Weser turned in a time of 2:l2.4 in the half mile, While Richard Baker was clocked in 4150.9 for the mile run. Joseph Davis runs in both hurdle events, while James Murphy puts the shot over 45 feet. James Conner is the pole vault entry, and Edward Bloch and John Hill broad jump. McFarland, a freshman, high jumped five feet six inches in the county meet. P55 p pg gp, x, V fx.. Top row, left to right--Austin Smith, coach, Marshall, J.

A tri- angular meet at Ft. Wayne started the outdoor season with Marion garnering 222 points as against Central's 50M and South Side's 44. Baker in the mile, Murphy in the shot put, and Conner in the pole vault took firsts for the Giants. Four teams, Fairmount, Jonesboro, Sweetser, and Marion, entered the annual county meet held at Memorial Field, April 21. Taking ten iirst places, the Giants walked off with 69 points, being followed by Fairmount with 41, Jonesboro with 6, and Sweetser with 1. Entering the annual Kokomo Relays, the Giants placed in the shot put and pole vault, their 3M points being good for thirteenth place. The remainder of the schedule included a meet with Montpelier, Jonesboro and Fairmount on May 5, the sectional meet May 12, and the state meet May 19. As hosts to the Sectional meet, Marion placed second to Central of Muncie by a score of 55-295. Two sectional records were broken by Muncie men. Williams set a new record of 5 feet IOM inches, bettering by l inch the old mark of 5.9M held by Dewey Johnson. Fowlkes, 440 dash man traversed the distance over the loose Memorial Field track in the brilliant time of 52.2 sec- onds, to lower the old mark by .8 of a second. Marion qualified seven men for the state meet: Baker in the mile run and the six men of the winning half mile relay team, Murphy, Herzog, Hiatt, Weesner, Davis and Conner. The Giant's mile relay team composed of Clark, Baker, Hamilton, and Hill has turned in its last performance under the banner of the purple and gold, as all men graduate.

MARION M CLUB URING THE existence of an M Club, the organization of athletes who have earned letters in sports in Marion High School, it has always been the purpose of the club to further interest in athletics, foster clean sportsmanship, and improve interscholastic competition. Much credit must be given to the club for their efforts to attain this end in the past three years. Although the M Club in the school has no distinct organization, they are constantly doing their part in bettering the mental attitudes of the boys in actual competition. Under the leadership of Austin Smith, who for the past three years has been head coach of Marion High School athletics, a finer idea of sportsmanship and fair play has been gained and he has gone far in furthering the objective of the M Club. M Club activities have been quite outstanding in the past year: the graduate members of theclub have sponsored their own football team and play- ed some very good amateur teams. The club sponsored an athletic banquet with the players from the football, basketball, and the 1934 track squad as guests on Thursday evening, April 19, in the high school cafeteria. Several former athletes of Marion High School have furthered their abili- ties in college circles. Probably Marion's most outstanding graduate in recent years in sports is Lewis Ookie Miller, formerly of Purdue University and now playing with the Chicago Bears professional football team and national champions for 1933.

This is a contest which is staged every year to determine the person with the highest standing in various divisions of the contest. The balloting is done in the auditorium, usually near the iirst of the second semester. The votes are then counted by members of the Cactus staff and board. This year the above ballot was used and approximately 900 votes were recorded. Of the twelve winners in the various phases of the contest, ten were seniors. The other two winners were: Delbert Trueman, junior, and Jacqueline Harrold, sophomore.
