RUTH CARR ifh School CIUVIQ TEACHERS MAKE MERRY AT VARIOUS SOCIAL FUNCTIONS NOT ONLY Do THE STUDENTS of Marion High School entertain with parties and night life, but the faculty does too. In the opening Weeks of school, the faculty mem- bers were invited to attend a picnic held at Mr. Penrod's home. It Was an outdoor affair with Mr. Penrod acting as chief cook. On this momentous occasion, the new fac- ulty members, Mr. Hooker, Mr. Williams, Mr. Himelick, Mrs. Reiboldt, Mr. Wolt- man, and Mr. Tillett were initiated. This party was long remembered by the faculty, especially by those Who were initiated. Next in line came the HalloWe'en party at Mr. Hookeris home. All the teachers attended this gala affair dressed as old witches, goblins, clowns, and black cats. Everyone enjoyed this party by playing Halloween games, such as bobbing for apples and pinning the tail on the donkey. Back in February these scheming teachers planned a surprise party for Mr. and Mrs. Tillett. Just as they were preparing to leave home, having been invited to have dinner with Miss Wilhite, in walked the faculty loaded down with food. After en- joying an abundant dinner, the guests and hosts took part in a quiz program. Mr. Tillett Was able to return to school the next day which signifies that even the victims en- joyed the party. During the first part of May, the gentle- men members of the faculty attended a stag steak fry at Sutter's farm. The happen- ings of this party remained a dark secret. Many of the guests said they were glad it was held on Friday night as they didn't have to go to school the next day. 'k20'k I 1 5 , 1K YF Adil Nfbl 1 len was elllgule .

SENIORS OF 1942 COMPLETE THEIR HIGH SCHOOL TRAINING WITH FLYING COLORS ONLY Too SOON CAME the first morning in Marion High School for us Qwhich we all remember rather sorrowfullyj. There were so many teachers, rooms, and classes. Too, there were the mighty upperclassmen, whose good graces we all sought. After being trampled over somewhat, we resigned ourselves to being greenies,' for a year, but not until we had elected as our class officers, respectively-Merrel Coflin, president, Maud Scherer, vice-presidentg Patricia Camp and Rebecca Gallion, co- secretariesg and Peggy Goebel, treasurer. The outstanding event in our sophomore memories is the class party. At the 'lEoolish Fiesta, everyone had a wonderful time dancing or playing games. Merrel Coffin, elected Don Juan by the girls in the Sopho- more class, reigned during the evening. In the Easter Parade, the class was represented by Deanie Jeffrey, Jane Landrum, and Re- becca Gallion as attendants to the queen. Came 1941 when we were full-fledged Juniors, we proceeded at once to select these students as our leaders: Roy Vogel, presi- dent, Maud Scherer, vice-president, Barb- ara Merritt, secretaryg and Lynn Buchanan, treasurer. Merrel Coflin was chosen to rep- resent the class as the Junior member of the Cactus board. Outstanding events during the Junior year were the Sadie Hawkins Day, and the Junior Prom, which was held in May. The class elected Lynn Buchanan as Prom Queen. She was crowned by the class presi- dent, Roy Vogel. The successful Junior candidates for Easter Parade attendants were Jane Land- rum, Deanie Jeffrey, and Donna Coffman. After some cramming, over 250 persons survived the first two years, and we then were far advanced along the well-known road of education. Ours was a class that promised to be outstanding from the first with these officers: Jack Kightlinger, presi- dent, Phil Trostel, vice-president, Rebecca Gallion, secretary, and Elizabeth Jensen, treasurer. Miss Gladys Lewis served as class sponsor. Maud Scherer was chosen as the editor-in-chief of the yearbook, the Cactus, which the Senior class of 1942 was to pub- lish. True to tradition, another Cactus Erolic was held at Memorial Coliseum in order to furnish funds for this book. The Senior party was given the appro- priate title, The Heartbeat Hopf, where the King and Queen of Hearts, Bud Laven- good and Deanie Jeffrey, elected by members of the senior class, reigned in their House of Love.', DAISY MADGE ADAMS-Girl Reserve, Speech Club, G.A.A.

These officers proved to be capable of heading the class throughout the year. The annual Junior party, the Championship Swing, held at the Coliseum, was a great success, with everyone enjoying the fine music and dancing. This class was honored by having two representatives on the Cactus staff, the first Junior class to be so fortunate. Those serv- ing in this capacity were William Wagner and A. J. Raabe. Besides this, these diligent underclassmen participated in a host of other activities. Robert Simons and Foster Gelder won responsible positions on the Survey staff. Leland Taylor, Joe Pfeiffer, William Myers, Mark Hinkle, Delmar Shackleford, Marvin Keen, James Hulce, Election C'0llZl7'ZiflLC6 Cozmis class lmllofs.

Raabe all performed val- iantly on the gridiron. Joe Pfeiffer, jack Sutter, Robert Powers, Wendell Detamore, and Don Earnhart provided tough com- petition on the basketball floor while Leland Taylor and Joe Pfeiffer were stalwarts on the track team. Other Juniors served on the golf squad. With these boys returning, the literary and athletic future of Marion High School looks very promising. For their last big function as underclassmen, these Jun- iors produced the traditional Junior Prom to close a busy year in a blaze of glory. This Prom, held in May, was an- other success, again proving versatility of this group. Miss Helen Wortman and Mr. Kenneth Sipe deserve much credit as faculty spon- sors for such an outstanding class. These Juniors are looking forward to their senior year with much anticipation, hop- ing to make it even more suc- cessful than this past year. l First Row Glen Allen N orma Althouse Eula Anderson James Anderson Robert Anderson Barbara Andrews Second Row Dorothy Armstrong Norma Artherhults Wilma Axton Ivetta Bailey Russell Bainbridge Horace Baker ...ff l l Third Row James Baker Mark Baldwin Richard Ballard John Ballinger Rex Ballinger Charles Bayless Fourth Row Martha L ou Beals Gladys Bennie Pauline Berry Betty Bibler Robert Blake William Bogue 'A' 34 Fififa Row Bert y jean Boxell Barbara Bridges Doris Briggs Joe Brower Richard Brunk M ary Bunker 'A' Sixlb Row Donna Burright Richard Byler Willi am Caldwell Ferris Car ' michael Norma Case Sally Chapman Srvrfzfb Row Thomas Collins Georgia Connelly T.

THIS YEAR, AS IN preceding years, on the first day of school there were seen many wide-eyed, timid, and embarrassed students. Yes, they were the new sophomores. Since that Hrst day, many of these students have become active in many of the school organ- izations, including such noteworthy projects as Zonta Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, Cactus Frolic, Easter Parade, activity clubs, and second team basketball. On October 15, the usual officers were chosen to lead this class. John Ferguson was elected president, Patricia Hunt, vice- president: Betty Circle, secretary, and Phyl- lis Charles, treasurer. Miss Marion Breadheft and Mr. E. Tilletr served as class sponsors. Sophomores contributed to the social life of the school with their party, the Defense Swing, held on January 21. Music was pro- vided by John Shepherd and his orchestra. Ping-pong and other games were played by those not caring to dance. In keeping with the theme of the party, defense stamps were given as attendance prizes. The floor show con- sisted of vocal solos by Barbara Hummel and Linda Lewis, and a piano solo by Earl Landess. Members of the class overcame their timidity and backwardness as was clearly shown when they took such an active part in our book drive for soldiers and sailors. The sophomores led the upperclassmen in their contribution to this timely project. Furthering their co-operative spirit and leading ability, they took active part in the Cactus Frolic and were great factors in the success of the annual Easter Parade. The Senior class of 1942 can leave Mar- ion High School confident that the class of ,44 will carry on their spirit cheerfully and successfully. Ulzderclassmen Cui rug at Defense Swing.

A -1 Q 14 E 9 CA1'AlfLla' STAFF LEADS GIANTS T0 SUCCESSFUL YEAH THE GIANTS, 1941 GRID CAMPAIGN was a great success under the able coaching of chief coach Jerry Naug- le, and his assistants, Clem Woltman and Dwight Hutcheson. These men drilled the Giants this season on a rapid fire type of football, geared to take advantage of every break. Practice began on August 20 with about 75 candidates responding. This number was later reduced to approximately 50 members from which first and second teams were organized. Early practice sessions were held in the late afternoon and evening and were held daily in order to prepare a team for the first game played on the opening day of school. The coaches found a good founda- tion upon which to build an out- standing team, for several letter men of the previous year appeared in the ranks. Among these were: Jack Bevan, Joe Pfeiffer, Joe Hawkins, and Leland Taylor. Several other experienced players from the first and second squads of last year also l came out. Chief among these were: Glen Crawford, George Rhetts, Leonard Lasky, Jim Davis, Marvin Keen, Phil Trostel, Wallace Rook, Jim Hulce, Jack Oradat, Bob Powell, Billy Corn, Billy Myers and Richard Miller. Those boys all received sweaters this season. The boys combining pre-season enthus- iasm with frequent showing of mid-season performances proved that the material and improvements, which the Giants had lacked in the last few years, had again been found. In actual operation the Giants won six of the nine games played, rating considera- tion throughout the state. Averages for the season showed that the Giants turned in a better performance than the total opposi- tion in every department of the game. The Giants' grid machine dropped games to Auburn and Kokomo to open the season DWIGHT I-IUTCHESON, JERRY NAUGLE, CLEM WOLTMAN and then blasted into a four-game winning streak over Richmond, Peru, Huntington, and New Castle. This luck was halted at Muncie when the Bearcats handed the Giants a 20 to 0 setback. This game aided the Giants, co-operation and sent the Mar- ion lads on to victories over Logansport and Wabash to end the season. This entitled the Giants to keep the Victory Bell for the second consecutive year. It is an old custom in Marion High School that at the end of spring practice the un- derclassmen challenge the graduating sen- iors to a senior-underclassmen game. In the past the seniors have usually come out on top and they duplicated this again by defeating the underclassmen 8 to 7 this year.

MARION PIGSKIN CARRIERS HAVE GOOD RECORD AUBURN 27 MARION 20 The Marion Giants and the Auburn Red Devils broadsided into their 1941 Gridiron campaign on September 6 in a fast and ferocious encounter on Memorial Field that combined pre-season enthusiasm with frequent showing of mid-season performance. This game proved that the 1941 edition of the Purple and Gold Crusaders would give a good account of themselves before the season was out. The game was a free-running affair, with both defensive and offensive mechanisms showing signs of much need- ed improvement. Speed merchants of both teams had themselves a field day, and only the lack of proper blocking kept the score from going even higher. Captain Jack Bevan, Marion's four-year perennial, was the mainstay of the Giants' defense. At the final gun the score was Auburn 27, Marion 20. KOKOMO I2 MARION 6 Marion,s second game of the season showed the material and the improvement which the Giants have lacked in the last few years. The Kokomo Wildcats were at the peak of perfection, passing, running all the way down the field. The Giants made many driving attempts with some wonderful blocking leading the way for Taylor. The Wild- cats seored in the first period, then again in the last. The Giants sent Taylor over for the only score for Marion in the last quarter. Wlien the final gun sounded, the score was Kokomo 12-Marion 6. MARION ZS RICHMOND 12 In the first home appearance in North Central Conference competition the Giants whammed their way out of their winless wandering to outrun, out- play, and outscore the Morton of Richmond Red Devils by a tally of 25-12. The defense and the offense were both excellent as far as Marion was con- cerned. The Giants looked like a new team com- pared to the lads that played the two previous victoryless games. MARION 21 PERU 6 Playing hard-charging, fast, and speedy football, the Marion Giants walloped the Peru Tigers 21 to 6 in one of the most thrilling gridiron encount- ers witnessed on Marion Memorial field in many 'A'47f Top Row-Hawkins, Pfeiffer, Taylor, Lasky, Crawford, Myers, McMillan, Hulce.

The two elevcns were evenly matched and it was smart football that finally tilted the balance in favor of the Purple and Gold campaigners. Blocking was not only effective, it was a joy to watch, as Marion ball-carriers, time and time again, raced around the flanks of the highly rated Tiger line behind interference of a perfectly functioning convoy. Marion's line was the stopping off place for many a Peru advance, with Rook, Ferguson, and Powell doing a lion's share of the tackling. MARION 27 HUNTINGTON 12 In this game a force capable of mighty opposi- tion uncovered itself when the invaders scored in less than two minutes after the game had started. It began to look like a bad night for the Giants. Marion's line, however, turned to a per- formance that would have stopped many a mightier onslaught than it withstood in this game. Huntington's slashing at- tack was held out of scoring position. Speed again account- ed for a majority of the Giant advances with only three passes being attempted by the home lads. Huntington, with a recently formed passing attack, tried again and again to gain through the air. Overmire of Huntington accounted for both of Huntingtonis touchdowns, the first after single- handedly advancing the ball downfield and over, and the second on a 63 yard run that came out of the first play in the second half. Taylor made an 85 yard scamper that brought him across the payoff line. Hawkins, Pfeiffer, and Taylor toted the pigskin for Marion, scoring 27 points to the invaders, 12. MARION 27 NEW CASTLE 6 Traveling to New Castle, the Marion Giants defeated the Trojans 27-6. The New Castle lads realized the bundle of speed Taylor possessed and sewed him up early in the first i'48'k F , A 1 i Taylor carries pigslzin through line. quarter. Joe Hawkins took the small colored flash's place and went off tackle for 69 yards and heaved many successful passes. The game was much closer and exciting than the score indicated with New Castle constantly battering to get to the Marion goal line. MUNCIE 20 MARION 0 The Muncie Bearcats walloped the Marion lads in a Big Ten Game which ended a four game win- ning streak for Marion. The Giant's line, which had developed a stalwart defense in the last four en- counters, seemed to crumble under the mighty pene- trating offense of the Bearcats. It was only at the end of the last quarter that Marion got into Muncie territory close enough to score. The Bearcats out- played and outfought the Giants in every phase of the game with the Muncie boys rolling up 238 yards from scrimmage against Marion's 19. Muncie made 14 first downs to 5 for the Giants. The Marion lads were slightly handicapped by injuries, but it is doubt- ful whether this changed the outcome of the game. Muncie had scored over Marion 20 to 0 when the final quarter ended.

For the entire first half the Giants played a brand of football that would have withstood a much finer aggregation than Logansport could produce, and after the game the purple and gold lads seemed satisfied that a good day's work had been done. Marion's blockers were the individual stars, if any existed, and a pair of novice linemen, namely Trostel and Rook, operated in varsity form to cap- ture the honors for defense play. MARION 14 WABASH 13 Battling a strong west wind and a strong Wabash crew, the Marion Giants edged out the Wabash Apaches 14-13 in the last game of the season. A small crowd attended the game because of the weath- er. The victory entitled the Marion lads to keep that traditional symbol of superiority, the Victory Bell. Highlights of the game were the two beauti- ful runs made by Taylor: one through the middle of the Wabash defense and the other on a return punt which was picked up on his own 35 to scramble through the complete Wabash line with the help of excellent blocking by the Marion lads. The two Apache touchdowns came as blocked punts. Taylor scored the touchdowns for Marion and Roxy,' Bevan the two extra points. The Wabash points were scor- ed by Miller and Culver. Bevan tries for point after goal. ii... ' KX PETE WILLIAMS APPOINTED HEAD COACH COACH LESTER CPETED WILLIAMS came to Mar- ion during the school year of 1939-'40 from Delphi, Indiana, where he had produced several winning basketball teams. In his first year here the style of play was changed from a defensive to an offensive game. In this same year, Marion won their first North Central Conference crown. The following year, Marion had a fairly suc- cessful season, winning eight and losing twelve games. At the close of the season, Williams was appointed head coach, succeeding Mr. Hooker, who was selected as principal of Marion High School. During the season of '41 and '42, Pete's team had a flying start, winning eight games in a row, only to stumble over Kokomo for the ninth. Coach Williams worked hard all season, but his efforts were not enough to pull his team out of the slump. Marion ended this season by winning twelve and losing eight games in season play. In the tournament, Marion defeated Jonesboro only to fall before the Fairmount Quakers on Saturday. LESTER WILLIAMS MARION HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY TEAM HOLDS INTEREST OF FANS THROUGHOUT SEASON THE BASKETBALL SEASON of 1941-1942 was indeed one of varied success and failure. At times 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 opposition. The team consisted of Jack Bevan, Joe Pfeiffer, Jack Sutter, Joe Hawkins, and Merrel Cof- fin or Junior Byington, who were the usual starting five. Don Earnhart, Herman Craig, Bill Terwillegar, Firmer Wagner, Bob Pow- ers, and Wendell Detamore all added power YELL LEADERS-left to right--James Baker, Patsy Miller, Jean Van Zandt, Richard Harrell. and stamina to the team when the going got tough. This year the Giants played a form of ball consisting of fast breaks which were responsible for much of the scoring. The players and the plays seemed to materialize as the season went by. The Giants scored time after time with a fast break under basket pivot shot. As far as individual honors were concerned there were none, for the team was not built around one boy, but around five. Throughout the season the boys kept a spirit of good sportsmanship and a love for the game which is typical of all Marion High School. The team as a whole seemed to possess a talent of cooperating control which at times worked smoothly and brought out the real playing ability of the boys. The Giants pre-season form was one typical of mid-season performance. The lads won eight straight victories, then JACK BEVAN JACK SUTTER JOE PFEIFFER JOE HAWKINS JUNIOR BYINGTON MERREL COFFIN they were downed by one of their greater rivals, Kokomo.,' The rest of the season was one of varied success and failure. The Giants lost and won as every team does but their hearts were in the game whether they emerged winners or otherwise. The Giants started preparation for their first game a few weeks before time. With a couple of weeks drilling in fundamentals which were stressed as a leading factor and with another week polishing up on shooting and passing the ball, the boys developed into a team which one might say was in the pink of condition. One outstanding feature of the season was the enthusiastic way Marion High School fans greeted the Giants whenever they took to the floor. In spite of a few dis- appointments the support to the team was loyal. Followers of the Giants found con- fidence in the numerous victories the Mar- ion lads dealt out to their opponents and they found solace in the defeats the Giants received because the quintets which down- ed Marion were among the very best in the state. In a typical game of good old Hoosier basketball, the Giants defeated Alexandria, 46-31, to open the season. This win start- ed the Marion lads on an eight game win- ning streak. In the next three games the Giants defeated Winamac, 49-26, and hand- ed Anderson a 24-21 defeat, only to return from Anderson a week later to hand the Richmond Red Devils a 35 -32 setback. The Giants then ventured from their home floor for the first time to Peru where they de- feated the Tigers 34-17. Playing at home again the Marion team won from Logans- port 36-32. The Giants led the Kokomo in-k BOB POWERS HERMAN CRAIG BILL TERWILLEGAR FIRMER WAGNER DON EARNHART WENDELL DETAMORE Wildcats into camp with a score of 46-34. The Marion boys took off for Anderson and beat the Indians, 36-35. Traveling to Kokomo for a return en- counter, the Marion lads were defeated for the Hrst time by a score of 29-36. Play- ing on their own floor, the Giants lost the encounter to Frankfort by one point, 32- 33. Away for the next two games Marion won from Muncie Central, 37-31, and took a defeat from Richmond, 25-35. The Giants then came back to Memorial Coli- seum and won from New Castle, 30-25. Playing at Huntington, the Giants handed the Vikings a 40-34 drubbing. The Jeff of Lafayette boys came to town and our Giants were defeated, 30-36. Mak- ing a comeback, the Giants handed Tipton a 25-23 defeat. Away for the next two games with Tech of Indianapolis and Wa- bash, the Giants were defeated by Tech, 34- 40, and by Wabash, 30-34. In the last game the Giants closed their season at Fort Wayne with Central defeating the Marion lads, 28-29. After the close of the regular scheduled season the Sectional Tournament opened on February 26. The Giants downed Jones- boro, 45-27. After eliminating Jonesboro, the Giants were defeated by Fairmount to the tune of 40-42 in the semi-Hnals of sec- tional play. The Giants have again run true to form by completing a successful basketball sea- son. With the exception of Bevan, Hawk- ins, Coffin, Craig, Terwillegar, Byington, all the rest of the boys will be back next year providing outstanding material for a winning season. Including sectional play Marion won thirteen and lost nine games. 'ks3'k ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS Pfeijfcfr uses his over bead shot against Wafvasb. Hawkins sends ball 7117 and over gzzawi.

The first call brought a large number of basketball hopefuls who like to play the game for the fun of it. The league was open to any boy in high school with no other conditions necessary. The boys were divided into two leagues, the Little Giants for the smaller boys, and the Big Giants for the larger boys. League play got red hot as usual with everyone fighting hard for the title. It was first one team in the lead and then another, with every game being played as if it were a championship title. When the firing ceased it found the Wolves winning the smaller boys' division and it showed a tie in the larger boys' division between the Mules and the Zebras. A playoff contest was then scheduled and a hard iight ensued. In accordance with everybody's prediction, the game was a battle from the start to the Hnish. Both teams were putting out the best brand of basketball they knew. The final results of the encounter showed the Zebras winning from their opponents by a four-point margin. The members of the winning squad in the Little Giants division were Thomas Ward, captain, Charles Richardson, Ray Malone, Joe Dorsey, Howard Morrell, Donald Murrell, and Milton Rat- cliffe. The members of the Zebra team were Don Brenneman, cap- taing Paul Fortney, Raymon Crouse, Paul Jacob, Lee Schultz, Walter McAdams, and John Bunch. 5 -,1 Top Row-Nichola, Sharp, Brandenburg, Wells, B. ones Rob son Land Neeley Bailey Coker Patterson Weaver Second Row-Young, Downing, Spiker, Lowder, K.

The tournament was won by the team captained by Mary Inman. This was followed by volley ball. The winning team in that was captained by Mary Jane Prickett. Of six basketball teams playing for honors, Kath- ryn Stone's team was the winner. Basketball was followed by indoor baseball.

A majority of the boys started their train- ing about the Hrst of April, but there were a few enthusiastic lads who started condi- tioning several weeks before. When the call went out many veterans showed up and a great number of freshman and sophomores responded. The material was excellent but the time short, but the boys tackled the job like Giants and hoped for a great season. Since track is a sport for the individual there are more boys participating and the opportunity is greater for one to win recog- nition. The lads were given ribbons for placements in every meet and boys who won 15 or more points during the season received letters. Boys who were good enough to survive the sectional and participate in the state received sweaters. The Marion tracksters opened the season April 14 at Memorial Field in a three way meet with Central and Burris of Muncie. Marion placed first with 5 5 points, Central second with 49 and Burris third with 51. Three days later the interclass meet was held and the Seniors came out on top with 72 points, Sophomores with 70 and the Jun- iors with 67. The Grant County meet was held on the afternoon of April 22. Gas City took the honors with 58, 50, 27, 0, Marion, Fairmount, and Sweetser placing in order. The Marion lads then ventured from their home track for the Muncie Re- lays where Kokomo placed first, Anderson second, Marion third, and Central of Mun- cie fourth. The Giants were host to An- derson in the next meet, the guest took the glory with a count of 6926 to 4SV3. Mar- ion attended the Kokomo Relays on May 2, where North Side of Fort Wayne scored first, Anderson second, Kokomo third, South Side of Fort Wayne fourth, and Mar- ion fifth. Huntington and Wabash came to Marion the following week and Marion won the meet 71, 40, 24, Wabash and Hunt- ington in order. The Giants participated in the Confer- ence meet at Frankfort, May 8, where they scored a total of 53 points. On May 16 they attended the Sectional meet at Muncie and on May 23, winners of first and second places participated in the State meet at But- ler field in Indianapolis. During the track season of 1942 Leland Taylor proved to be the main stay of the Marion squad, scoring a total of 114 points exclusive of the Sectional and State meets. Second in scoring honors went to Tann with 5 8 points but he was closely followed by Kiser, Vogel, and Gillespie with 53, S1, and 51 points respectively. With a total of eighteen boys placing in various meets dur- the season many of whom are underclass- men, next year promises to be another good season so far as track is concerned. The State meet on May 23 brought to a close a season full of thrills and experiences.

Twenty-two boys showed up for the first meeting of hopeful golfers who intended to try out for the team. Several veterans were included among the aspirants for positions on the squad. These included Bill Terwille- of the best in Indiana. The 1942 squad expected to equal that record and keep Mar- ion on the golf map. On c'Pete's', schedule this year were such well known squads as Anderson, South Side of Fort Wayne, Ko- komo, Richmond, and Tech of Indianapolis.

ARCHERY CLUB MEMBERS PROVE SKILL IN VARIOUS COUNTY AND STATE SHOOTS DISTINGUISHED BY THEIR ability to use bow and arrows, some thirty students formed this club. Some of the out-of-school ac- tivities in which they engaged during the first semester were the Cottontail Shoot in Brown County State Park and an all day roving meet at the Pleasant Township Con- servation Club grounds southeast of Marion. In November, Huntington High School sent its girls' team here and beat the home team by thirty points. One of the various parties held was the Pilgrim Provider, a supper party around a big campfire at Jimmie Bowman's home. Through its affiliation with the Hoosier State Archery Association, the club was eligible for various awards. Ribbons came to our members at both the Annual Indoor Meet at Kokomo in March, and the Redbird Meet at Brown County in April. Elly Skin- ner won in her division at the latter meet. The Marion girls' team avenged their de- feat of November by defeating Huntington there. Charles wizfbcirczws zzrrows from bzalfs-eye.

Each year for the past twenty-three years the senior class of Marion High School has published a Cactus for three major reasons. First, the Cactus is the one tangible thing which we can carry away to remember our high school life, second, it is an excellent means of giving rec- ognition to those people who have done outstanding things, third, it is a laboratory in which students learn to rec- ognize and solve some of the problems they will meet later. If anyone feels like congratulating those responsible for the Hne work on this year's book, he should congratulate the sponsors, the staff, and the senior class as a whole.

By December a new plan had been devised for selling more yearbooks. Dur- ing the fall semester they were sold for cash, a plan which had never been used before. In preceding years the drive did not begin until the second semester. As usual, in the second semester drive the annual was of- fered the students on the installment plan. Payments of twenty-five cents or more were accepted. Padded covers with the student's name stamped in gold on the front were offered this year for a price of two dollars. As usual the regular leather back books were offered at 31.50 and paper backs at 51.00. On the night of November 7, Memorial Coliseum was the destination of most Mar- ion High School students and many of the town,s people. Why? Because being held there was the eventful Cactus Frolic. Concessions, refreshments, crazy house, fortune telling, games of chance, games of skill, in fact everything imaginable for one's enjoyment was included in this entertain- ment. At a given time an outstanding floor show was presented. Included in the floor show was a reading by Peggy Goebelg a vocal solo by Betty Moore, a novelty dance number by Lenore Goddard, and a vocal number by a trio composed of Linda Lewis, Betty Moore, and Jean McClain. As a spe- cial attraction the newly organized basket- ball quartet sang two numbers to a spell bound audience. Not a word was uttered when these accomplished vocalists made their debut. Composing this group were such notables as Bill McMillan, Jack Joy, A. J. Raabe, joe Hawkins, and Dick Har- rell. To top off this unique floor show, numerous prizes were awarded. After the highlight of the evening, jit- terbugs danced park-plan to the delightful music of Princess Leslie and her orchestra.

Each year Marion High School holds its annual Cactus Frolic in order to obtain money for publication of its year book. Way back in 1926 the idea that we should not use advertising in our annual as a means of obtaining funds was advanced. Every- one got to work on the idea and it was de- cided that we should hold a Cactus Frolic. Each year this has proven very successful and we are proud to be one of the first schools to dispense with advertising as a means of revenue. This year our Cactus Frolic was even more successful than usual and we give a great part of the credit for the financial success of the book to the Cactus Frolic. Mr. B. H. Penrod and Miss Gladys Lewis, faculty members of the Cac- tus board, were the general chairman and treasurer, respectively. This year the Cactus was very fortu- nate in having a very capable staff. A new plan for appointing students was used. Teachers gave to the board the names of those students whom they thought would be qualified for the various positions. Then these students wrote articles that were judg- ed by the board and the writers of those that were judged best were appointed to positions on the staff. Anyone wishing to try out, even though he was not recom- mended by a teacher, was perfectly wel- come to do so. Two student programs were given this year to introduce the sales campaign. The first was a round table discussion of what, why, and how the Cactus is produced, led by Editor Scherer. A stunt, featuring aud- ience participation, launched the second semester drive. The board and staff have enjoyed publish- ing this Cactus for the senior class of Mar- ion High School and now that our work is done, we sincerely hope you like it. 'A k'k WILLIAM WAGNER, A. J.

XXX, No. 37 MARION, INDIANA, JUNE. 1942 PRICE THREE CENTS - TERr E TOPIC Stai Holds Party . . . Tuesday, March 17, the Survey Staff held a party and business meet- ing in room 22 at the high school. During the business meeting, plans were discussed for the annual ban- quet, and committees were appoint- ed for that event. A record jam-session provided the entertainment for the evening. The refreshments consisted of pop-corn, fudge, and lemonade, which weird combination was furnished by those who attended. The evening was highlighted by a tour of the offices of the Chronicle Publishing Company, where em- ployees graciously devoted their time and effort to explaining the intricacies of the newspaper busi- ness. The budding reporters were allowed to observe linotyping, page make-up, the operation of the Lud- low typesetting machine, how the casts are made, and the presses. Upstairs, students saw the teletype machines in the receiving room, the news-room, and the morgue. lk Si 12 Picnic Is Held . . . Members of the Survey staff were guests of Mr. B. H. Penrod, director of publications, at a picnic given at his home Thursday, May 21. Committees for the annual event were as follows: entertainment committeeBill Jones, chairman: associates Barbara Hummel, Donna Mikels, and Roseanna Glackeng eats committee-chairman Jane Ran- dolph, Shirley Lasky, Bob Simons, and Mary Ann Davis. lk if ll! Thank You Note . . . The Survey would like to extend a word of thanks for the support it has received from the student body: and mpecially to members of the faculty for their cooperation in making this a newsier paper than ever before. Last but not least we want to thank our sponsors, Miss Gladys Neal and Mr. B. H. Penrod, and Mr. Penrod's proteges, the print-shop boys. We can consider them in no other light but as mem- bers of the staff: their help in get- ting the paper out on time has been deeply appreciated. SURVEY STAFF APPOI TED r'o l E D I T O R S STAFF PUBLISHES PAPER JANE RANDOLPH, FRANK PATTON Survey Staff Holds Banquet Mr. Ed W. Camp, editor of the Marion Chronicle, was the chief speaker at the second annual ban- quet of the members of the Survey staff and their guests on March 31. Other speakers on the program were Principal Orville J. Hooker and Mr. Earl Bainbridge, linotyp- ist and owner of the Arnold-Barr Printing Co., which does all lino- typing for the high school paper. They spoke on journalism, chances for advancement in that field, and the opportunity for service as well as real adventure. Mr. Camp espec- ially stressed the increasing oppor- tunity for young journalists, parti- cularly girls. Mr. Bainbridge revealed the intri- cacies of the lintoype machine, and Mr. Hooker disclosed a hitherto obscure phase of his many-sided self as he recounted his journalistic ex- periences. Another high light of the evening was a quiz, in which all the guests participated. On the back of each place card was a question printed in usual printshop reverse order. The guests' first task was to read the question: then to answer it. A quartet composed of Paul Jacob, Dick Harrell, A. J. Raabe, and Jack Joy entertained with songs, and Earl Landess played a piano solo. FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL Two weeks before the opening of school last fall, writers on last year's Survey Staff received an ur- gent telephonic summons to the high school. In order to dispense vital information to incoming students, the Survey was to come out on the first day of school. Despite the handicap of having lost a number of the more exper- ienced members, this hastily organ- ized staff managed to get the paper out on time. The quality of this sheet may be judged by the fact that the tentative organization for this issue was retained for the full semester. Patton Chosen Editor Persons who led this staff in the fall semester were as follows: Frank Patton, editor-in-chief: Jane Ran- dolph and Margaret Scheerer, asso- ciate editors: Eunice Stover and Eula Anderson, page editors: Rob- ert Simons, sports editor, Jacqua- line Cohee, girls' sports reporterg and Harry Treber, circulation and business manager. Spring Semester At the beginning of the spring semester, several changes were made. Margaret Scheerer, because of her many duties in other activi- ties, was obliged to resign her position as associate editor, though she continued to write throughout the year. Harry Treber also re- signed. Deanie Jeffrey was appoint- ed to his position. A promising junior, Barbara Bridges, took over the editorial page, while Eunice Stover was moved up to the posi- tion of make-up editor with Foster Gelder, another promising junior. Several cub reporters were also re- cruited, enlarging and enlivening the staff. Miss Gladys Neal served as lit- erary advisor for the paper through- out the year. All activities of the staff were carried on in room 22 under her supervision.

Published weekly during the School Year except holiday periods. Our Purpose Is Truth and Service Truth? It is the purpose of the school paper, as of any paper, to acquaint its readers with current happen- ings. Naturally, a weekly paper can seldom have hot news, or scoops, but it can, and should, supply factual information, stabilizing the rumors which cir- culate when there is a lack of this information. It serves to acquaint students with their fellows, and give all readers an insight into the true thoughts, ideas, and opinions of high school youth. Service? A school paper must entertain, as well as inform. It should stimulate thought and cultivate school spirit. It should serve as a link between the home and the school, acting as a means for parents to keep in touch with school activities and for pro- moting community support of these activities. Prob- ably the school paper is of most service-not to those who only read the paper, but to those who are actively engaged in the work of putting it out. The reporter develops not only journalistic ability, but responsibility, iresourcefulness, initiative, and self-expression. This, then, is the purpose of the Survey. fW'hether or not it has stuck closely enough to this standard, whether it has entirely succeeded in its mission, is a matter of opinionj Students and teachers alike, have given their best efforts toward fulfilling this task. As long as this support continues, the Survey cannot be a bad paper. As a final tribute to their efforts, we need say only this: every week the Survey came out on time! Miss Gladys Neal was mos t elo- quent when we solicited informa- tion about her sterling char acter. This character was molded in a variety of schools, among them Earlham College, Columbia and Chicago universities. At the men- tion of food, we learned that roast turkey and cranberry sauce take the cake! These contributed to her 118 pounds. Miss Neal cites gobs of favorites, embracing the legitimate theatre, movies, and travels: Katherine Cornell, Bette Davis, Errol Flynn, and Sonja Henie of the theatre and screeng and scenic loveliesfLake Louise, Perce on the Gaspe Penin- sula, and Cabot Drive on Cape Breton Island. Every summer finds her busily engaged in swimming and traveling. Jonesboro's gift to M.H.S. intensely dislikes insincerity, codfish, and those with strident voices. From this sketch a true pic- ture of Miss Neal may be drawn! 1 Orchids and stuff to the sponsors! Without the ready help of Miss Gladys Neal and Mr. B. H. Pen- rod, the Survey would not have been. They labored diligently without any time-and-a-half for the over- time they spent to make the Survey a success. Eunice Stover might be Make-Up Editor, but that's no reason for her compact and comb to be in action all the time. The other make-up editor, Foster Gelder, seems to get along all right without it. We feel pretty good. Two of the candidates for Easter Queen are on our staff. By the way, if you want to know who finally became the queen of the Easter Parade, turn to page 86 of the book you are now reading. We heard that four male members of our staff practically monopolized one issue of the Survey in order to make an impression upon certain out-of-town- ers to whom they sent it. Did you send them to Aurora, John, Tom, Bob, and Frank? Miss Neal: Jim Baker may be a yell leader, but that is no reason for his talking in Survey meeting. For those who appreciate the fine work done on the regular columns this year, the authors were as follows: Corn Crib, originated by Margaret Scheerer and carried on in fine style by John Caldwell and Eunice Stover. These wavered, in mid-semester, be- tween that title and a column somewhat differently styled named Pete's Repeats, finally returning to the original. Cruising Along Marion Hi-Ways was written each week by Roberta Kelly. Starting out as a boner column, it finally took root and branched out into allied subjects. Along the Hiring Line, a more serious feature, has been conducted by Marilyn Osborn. To secure information for this column, it was necessary to con- tact employers of high school graduates, both boys and girls, and find out the requirements desired for employment in these places. And last but not least among regular columnists is your old friend, -The Corridor Man ' M35QSsi'5us2zi' gsg,35gF ?1s.eH9gg3,wafs4rf4sfi1?IIIff159?Iif1A.Q25f92kfigffQ,?i2ara,gi1gff 253QFig54,52IIagaingg:5sisMfg.:as:sg.!s,zjsm55wsigss'1p1,g,.Q.fsg51's,gggnfafizfftiffas 5-,i g . viffiafisgglfitifisssfitrts?

SIGNAL, MARION HIGH SCHOOL'S SAFETY PUBLICATION, GAINS RECOGNITION THROUGHOUT NATION THE SIGNAL Is Marion High School's con- tribution toward the ever increasing de- mand for safety education. The paper is published and printed by the students and is financed by civic organizations, with Mr. Ronald Jacobson acting as sponsor. The material is contributed by the Health and Safety classes, with over sixty boys con- tributing articles. It has grown since its introduction in 1936, and now has a cir- culation of over 6,S00. The purpose of the paper is to promote safety education. The paper is sent to Marion children, lodges and charitable institutions. It spans the continent as it is mailed to points from California to New York. Other schools have now followed Marion,s example in publishing a paper of this type. Different phases are covered, with the ac- cent on traffic safety, but also stress on the importance of home safety. Members of the Signal took active inter- est in the city bicycle court, and received recognition by the National Safety Council. The front of the Signal page was feat- ured in the magazine put out by that or- ganization. Thus, in its six brief years, the Signal has become one of the outstanding projects of Marion High School. The paper repre- sents democracy at its best, for it is entirely written, printed and controlled by the students. The Signal has not appeared as frequently this year, as it has in others, being publish- ed once each semester rather than every six weeks. Shortage of materials was responsible for this curtailment. f70i' First Violins-King, M. Barrett, E. Barrett, Pcwell, AI. Meredith, Stroup. Basses-Mitchell, Lewis, R. Meredith.

DURING THE SECOND SEMESTER, the orches- tra presented a short program for the bene- fit of the victory stamp campaign. In May the orchestra once again came to the lime- light and presented to the student body both classical and semi-classical numbers. Civic organizations, recognizing the abil- ity of the ensemble, called upon it to pre- sent dinner music and entertainment num- erous times throughout the year. The mem- bers of the ensemble Were Peggy Goebel, piano, june Meredith, Herman Stroup, and Evelyn Barrett, violins, Norman West and Donna Pierce, viola, and Robert Billheimer, cello. The orchestra attended the February 13 concert of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. This proved to be both inspir- ing and entertaining. Marion, with the Peru. and Logansport orchestras, took part in the May Music Fes- tival held at Kokomo. Each organization presented an individual concert in the after- noon and massed at night to present a pro- gram under the direction of Eabien Sevit- sky, director of the Indianapolis symphony orchestra. The selections played Were: Overture to 'tImpresario by Mozart, The Mill by Gillettg Come Sweet Death by Bach, and Czech Rhapsody by Wein- berger. Mr. Lloyd DaCosta Jones directed the orchestra during the year and as is his usual custom produced one which ranks high. xl-22-as CHARACTERISTIC OF THE Marion High School Band, many public appearances were made again this year. Mr. Philip W. Polley, bandmaster, endeavored to further com- munity spirit with these programs. Among the outstanding performances of the band Was the t'Salute to the Navy program given on three occasions. The first program was presented at the Marion- Lafayette basketball encounter, the second program at the Red Cross benefit game be- tween Marion and Kokomo alumni basket- 'k71i' CHORUS PROVE THAT ball stars, and the third when the band jour- neyed to Central of Fort Wayne with the basketball team. The band attended all home basketball and football games, including the sectional tourney. They also made a trip to Muncie for the Marion-Muncie football clash. Other than sport events the organization pre- sented a short concert before the lecture by Gregor Ziemer, noted WLW news commenta- tor, and gave a concert at the Thomas Jeffer- son school in collaboration with the Parent- Teachers' Association of the school. On May 6, Marion with Peru, Logansport, and Kokomo, sponsored the fourth annual Music Festival. This year the festival bands were conducted by Dr. Edwin Franco Gold- man of New York City. Dr. Goldman led the massed bands during the evening performance in the overture Q'Martha,' from the opera t'Martha, by Fredrick Von Floton. During the matinee concert the Marion band played Il Guaryana, by Arthur Gomez. The appearance at Kokomo, along with a summer concert at Matter Park, closed the season for the Marion High School Band.

MUSII' 'TRULY HATII FIIARM THE MIXED CHORUS OF Marion High School is an elective course with eighty-five students enrolled. It is divided into three groups which meet daily for forty minutes. Out of these groups ensembles are formed which serve clubs and civic organizations with programs. Dur- ing the past year, the chorus participated in many school activities. It provided programs at Thanksgiving and Christmas and appeared at the Cactus Frolic, Easter Parade, Baccalaur- eate, and Commencement. During the Christ- mas season this group sang carols on the street car. This year, as usual, members of the chorus, sang in the Four-City May music festival, or- ganized and sponsored by the Music Depart- ments of the Kokomo, Logansport, Peru, and Marion High Schools, and in the All-State Choral Festival at Indianapolis. With the largest enrollment in recent years, vocal music classes have demonstrated that high school students like to sing the finest music in choral literature. Top Row-B.

This new organization is made up of forty-five boys and girls, chosen with care from the student body. One student is at each of the five doors of the school every period. Their attendance is checked just as classroom attendance is taken. Wendell Smith, president, and Evelyn Patty, treasurer, along with Mr. Carmin, head this committee.

They hope to become a more im- portant part of the school system as time goes on, earning the recognition due any club.

Among its many activities throughout the year were a potluck supper held in the high school cafeteria, a skating party held at the Idyl Wyld Roller Rink, and a party 'k75'k The club had one other big party and they ended the yearis activities with the traditional May Breakfast held May 1, at the Y.W.C.A. dining room. The Latin Club ended the year with the realization on the part of many that although Latin is a so-called dead language, its study can be- come very interesting and be very much alive.

ZONTA GIRL RESERVES SERVE STUDENT BODY BY FINDING AND GIVING THEIR BEST THE ZONTA GIRL RESERVES of Mar- ion High School have this year, as in former years, successfully com- pleted their work. The purpose of the organization is To find and give the best. Aims of the group are i'service and wholesome livingf' Programs and activities of the girls are planned by Mrs. Xen Stephens, Girlis Di- rector of the Y. W. C. A., and the advisors and cabinet members. The cabinet consists of the advisors and chairmen, along with the officers. The officers for the year were: Lynn Buchanan, president, Barbara Mer- ritt, vice-president, Mary Ellen Swaney, secretary, and Elizabeth Jensen, treasurer. Cabinet members are divided into groups according to their particular branch of work. The cabinet consisted of Miss Ethel A. Renbarger and Barbara Merritt, member- ship, Miss Mary Middleton, Margaret Mc- Griff, and Peggy Goebel, finance, Miss Mary S. Owen and Margaret Dick, program, Miss Gladys Neal and Margaret Scheerer, ser- vice, Miss Florence D. Heck and Barbara Loomis, social, Miss Martha DuBois and Donna Coffman, sports, Miss Elizabeth Brownlee, Betty Moore, and Caroline Furbay, music, and Miss Audra Flick and Harriett White, publicity. A membership drive was opened early in October, followed by the annual Candlelight Service in De- cember. The purpose of the service was to bring the new members into active participation. Preceeding the candle light- ing, Sara Beth Shields sang The Lord's Prayer and Elizabeth Jensen played a saxo- phone solo, Ave Maria. Following the program, Lynn Buchanan, president, and Barbara Merritt, vice-president, had charge of the initiation service. The new members proved to be an en- thusiastic and willing group of girls. They greatly aided the organization in its future activities with their splendid cooperation. Among the programs carried out were: matinee dances, a taffy sale, Y-Nights, a paper drive, and a hayride. The Sweater Swingi' was probably enjoyed the most of all. The dance was held in the school gym- nasium, which was decorated with M sweaters and girl's sport sweaters. The floor show consisted of vocal and dance numbers. i76i' On Monday, May 11 the Zonta Girl Re- serves held their annual election. The elec- tion is always held during the latter part of the spring term, in order to simplify the beginning of administration the following fall. The newly-elected officers were Carol- ine Furbay, president, Mary Ellen Swaney, vice-president, Harriett Ann Wall, secre- tary, and Gloria Terhune, treasurer. Y-nites proved to be very interesting and profitable undertakings, as they gave the girls not only a better understanding of the fields open for girls, but also provided many varied and entertaining evenings. The meetings were held once a month and all Girl Reserve members were invited to at- tend.

They also held two debates with Sweetster and one with Green- town. At the Peru tournament the affirmative met Linlawn of Wa- bash County, Laporte, and John Adams of South Bend. The negative team met Goshen, Elk- hart, and Warsaw. The Mar- ion group won the tournament by the fact that the affirmative won all and the negative won two and lost one. About fifty teams participated in the tour- nament. Tho-se who won at Peru were: Jane Randolph and Eunice Stover, affirmative, and Everett DuBuque and George Rhetts, negative. The debaters also pre- sented a debate before the student body, which the negative team won. Debating has proved very valuable in the development of the individual student of public speaking.

The cast included Mary Anne Davis, Arbella Jackson, Jeanne Van Zandt, Sheila Wease, and Jean Mc- Clain. The action took place in the home of one of the club members, and Was very interesting.

It was the long awaited Easter Parade, annual Marion High School extravaganza. To carry out the red, white, and blue theme, the floorshow was divided into three sections. The parts were the red. consisting of Conga Beat,', Tantalizing Tortillasf' with a Dash of Pepper, the white, which included Rolling Rhythm, Thank Your Lucky Stars and Stripes, t'Rat-ta-tat-Tap, with the Littlest Tapf, and the Coronation. Making up the blue section were: Indigo Fantasy, with a Flick of Silver, Troopers Tried and True, The Star,', vocal solo, Star Spang- led Victory, and Easter Paradev led by Miss Elizabeth Jensen, the 1942 queen. The queen and her attendants were select- ed by the student body. The three nominees for queen were chosen by members of the senior class, after they had gained the right to run by petition. This year Elizabeth Jensen, Willidean Jeffrey, and Betty Ann McKeown were nominted by the senior class. Each girl was required to sell five hundred seventy-five tickets to be elig- ible for election by the entire student body. Elizabeth Jensen was chosen queen, thus Willidean Jeffrey and Betty Ann McKeown automatically became princesses. The Junior and Sophomore girls were similiarly petitioned and elected by their respective classes, except that five girls were nominated from each of the underclass groups. The Junior girls elected as atrend- ants to the queen were: Norma Althouse, Aline Kinder, and Ernestine Terhune. Phyl- lis Charles, Carolyn Garthwait, and Janet Sutter were selected as the Sophomores to attend the queen. The girls who were not elected as attendants acted as flower girls and crown bearer. Naomi Henry, Junior, was crown bearer, and Gloria Terhune, Jun- WILLIDEAN JEFFREY Princexs BETTY MCKEOWN Princess NCRM1'XliliA ALTHOUSE ERNESTINE TERPTUNE Al,lNli KINDIQR Altrmlrmi Allvmfiuzl E Afft'lIZlLlIIf ior, Shirley Lasky, and Leahteen West, Sophomores, were flower girls.

Principal Orville Hooker crowned Elizabeth Jensen Queen of the 1942 Easter Parade at the coronation during the white section of the floorshow. The blue portion of the floorshow was given for the enter- tainment of the queen and her court. Con- cluding the floorshow was Easter Paraden led by the queen and her escort. Much of the success of the event was due to the steering committee, the floorshow committee, the costume committee, and the decorations which were designed and carried out by the art classes.
