Much to their astonishment they were treated, not as the superior beings which they felt themselves to be as fresh- men in Junior High, but as lowly sopho- mores. They soon held an election and vot- ed Robert Montgomery, president, William Anderson, vice-president, Barbara Stirnit- zke,,treasurer, and George Osborn, secre- tary. The activities of the second year were carried out under the able direction of Kenneth Manwell, president, Richard Sis- son, vice-president, Bonnie Williams, secre- tary, and Helen Winters, treasurer. The class took increasing interest in school ac- tivities, preparing to assume the responsi- bilities of seniors. Then the year of triumph came-the year of being upperclassmen. Through the leadership of Jack Pitcher, president, Betty Williams, vice-president, jackie Saunders, secretary, and Joanne Robb, Treasurer, many activities were planned. Miss Ethel Renbarger and Miss Marjorie Connelly, class sponsors, aided the oflicers in their duties. A chile supper Was sponsored in January, for which Shirley Crisler and Cardinal Hartley served as co-chairman. A dance at the Y. M. C. A. was held after the Kokomo basketball game. The Big Top Bounce, for which Jackie Saunders and Joanne Robb were chairman, was held early in April. These Seniors have taken part in the Cactus Frolic, aided in publishing the Sur- vey, and have chosen a capable person as editor of their yearbook. Senior boys have taken an active part in athletics, and the entire class rallied to support them. These Seniors feel that they have justly contribut- ed to the school by frequently participating in school activities. ...,,,w1.wmuK'SS Mr. john H. Link and Miss Mildred Avelinc, class sponsors The junior class usually has to follow a middle road policy during its school year for its members are neither new nor old to high school life. However, the class of '47 has shown a great interest and has had an active part in Marion High School affairs. The juniors chose as their oiiicers for the year Robert McCafferty, president, JoAnn Jones, vice-president, Donna Crisler, secre- tary, and Mary Wall, treasurer. With the aid of their sponsors, Miss Mildred Aveline and Mr. John Link, this class planned and participated in many enjoyable activities throughout the school year. The juniors sponsored an all-school dance at the Y. M. C. A. building after the Mar- ion-Tech basketball game February 8. Those who attended the dance went home with memories of a well-spent evening. As a novelty attraction, pins were sold with the initials MHS engraved against a background of purple and gold, the school colors. Next came the big event of a junior's life-the Junior Prom. This was given on May Z4 at the Coliseum with a large number of stu- dents attending. ff,- fs X , I, ,H f X 7 W I fl 1 gl vi, Ja.. 1, Jo Ann Jones, vice president Donna Crisler, treasurer Mary Wall, secretary Robert McCafJferty, president 22 Top Rau' Charles Abell Erma Adamson Richard Alexander Robert Anderson Richard Andrews james Lee Babb Suroml Row Melvin Bailey Walton Ball james Bradley Banter Mary Louise Banter Mary Ellen Barker Betty Barley Tbirzl Row Mary Ellen Barton George Bauserman Eugene Beck Phyliss Bell Suzanne Benjamin Charles Bennett gpm Q IDR Nia' wg, www -df Fourlfa Ron' Jane Best Richard Bischoff Doris Blake Darlene Boatwright Ronnie Boller Dorothy Bolton Fifth Ron' Wrendall Bond .Ioan Bonner Dahl Bonta Alpha jane Boots Peggy Boswell Alice Bowman 23 S ixllv Ron' Phyllis Bradtield -Ioan Bradford Margaret Brandon Mary Branson Donald Brown June Brown Buffuuz Ron' Robert Brown Herman Burton Barbara Butler Ethel Cachules Helen Cachules Lillian Cachules QWB.

Under the guidance of their sponsors, Miss Marion Breadheft and Mr. E. Tillett, they elected the following officers who rep- resented them throughout the school year: Kay Hickman, presidentg Elaine Buck, vice-president, Maxine Rickey, secretary, and Jean Kelham, treasurer. For their first real project for the school, the sophs bought the decorations and trim- med the annual Christmas tree located in the front hall. Those who noticed the tree will agree that the sophs did a good job in decorating it. Cn January 24 the class sponsored a mid- semester dance, which was cleverly named Swing In, Swing Out. The entire school joined in the fun during the evening. The committee chairmen for this gala affair were Don Scearce, ticketg Elaine Buck, juke box, La Vonne Everson, refreshmentsg Mary Mullins, cloak roomg B. J. McKeever, d K Hickman, clean- entertainmentg an ay up. Now these sophomores have settled down to the usual studious life of all the other students around Marion High and are prov- ing themselves quite capable of carrying on future contributions and services to the school. No doubt this class will keep up the standards which have been set for them.

The Vikes were the first to score on a recovery of fumble behind Mar- ionis goal line. The Giants retaliated in the second quarter with a pass from Pettiford to Lemmon for the first touchdown of the year. Again in the third quarter, Lemmon receiv- ed a pass to the end zone for the sec- ond touchdown. Both attempts for the extra points failed. Marion 18 Kokomo 6 The Giants journeyed to Kokomo for the second contest of the year. The first quarter was uneventful. However, in the second quarter, aft- er Marion recovered a fumble, Don Pettiford flashed 45 yards on a fake reverse' to a touchdown. After the kick for the extra point failed, Ko- komo took the kick off and made a series of spectacular plays to score their first and only touchdown of the game. It had been raining all through the game and the third quarter was merely defensive ball. The Giants regained their old iight in the final quarter to move 90 yards down the field to set Gene Stewart for a two yard plunge over the goal for the second touchdown. With three minutes to go, Stewart put the game on ice by intercepting a Ko- komo pass on the 30 yard line and speeding over the goal for his second touchdown of the game. Marion 33 Logansport 12 Marion won their third game of the year in as many tries and their second North Central Conference game by defeating Logansport with a thrilling aerial offensive plus pow- erful ground plays. Early in the game Pettiford dashed over the goal line for a 6 pointer and passed to Bowlds for the Hrst successful extra point of the season. Minutes later Lemmon took a pass from Pettiford for the second touchdown of the game as the half ended 14-O. Mar- ion's favor. Again in the third quarter Pettiford passed to Lemmon for the third touchdown of the game. Marion then recovered Lo- gan's fumble and once more Petti- ford displayed his passing skill by heaving to Bowlds for the second touchdown in less than two minutes. The second and third strings were S2 sent in and immediately Weagley ripped OH a 70 yard run on an off tackle play for Marion's final touch- down. The Logan Berries slowly came to life and scored two touch- downs on end runs in the final per- iod of the game, but could not off- set the tremendous score Marion had built up. Marion 13 Anderson 6 Marion's third N. C. C. win and fourth victory of the year came by defeating the powerful Anderson Indians in a driving rain. Anderson was the first to score by a flashy SS yard run in the second quarter. However, the Giants retaliated sev- eral plays later when Stewart broke loose and carried the ball to pay dirt. The extra point was picked up by a fake kick and run by Don Petti- ford. The rain stopped in the third quarter and Marion played much better ball. Stewart, colored half- back. tore off on a thrilling run to give the Giants their second touch- down. Anderson substituted freely during the final canto but failed to penetrate Marionis powerful defense. Marion 0 New Castle 13 The Giants hnally met their Vfaterloo, after a four streak win, at the hands of a fast and powerful New Castle team. Jay Gray, the Trojan's star halfback, proved to be Marion's undoing as he scored all of New Castle's points. The two teams battled evenly for the first quarter but is was obvious Marion was lack- ing the old punch. The first half was played almost entirely in Mar- ion territory with New Castle in possession of the ball. In the third quarter the Giants started a rally, only to be thwarted by a New Cas- tle interception and touchdown. Another 66 yard run to the goal line by the Trojans cinched the game for them. Perhaps the thing that saved Marion from a worse de- feat was the fact the Giants recover- ed S of New Castle's 6 fumbles. Marion 0 Muncie 36 Marion's second gridiron set back of the season came by way of il powerful Muncie Central team. The game was one sided all the way with Dooley, of Muncie, making four of the six Bearcat touchdowns. Mar- ion's veteran quarterback, Don I-Ioover, managed to keep the Giant offensive rolling by five passes. This remarkable performance was offset by the fact that Don Pettiford was injured during the game and car- ried from the field unconscious. The two teams battled evenly with each making the same number of first downs. However, Muncie proved they didn't need first downs by rip- ping off runs of 60 yards or better. It was a case of the Giants inability to make the offense click as they never penetrated the Bearcat 20- yard line. Jeff Lafayette 25 Marion 18 ln a bitterly fought battle Mar- ion was defeated for its third suc- cessive loss of the year against Jeff of Lafayette. The contest started with the Giants at the controls. A pass from Pettiford to Lemmon, proved effective as it netted Marion the first six points of the game. The Giants scored again later when Pet- tiford dashed over the goal to pay dirt. However. jeff, wasn't long re- taliating and passed one across which placed the score 12-6, Marion's way. Power plays in the third quarter set Stewart up for a third and final touchdown for the Giants. Then Jeff broke loose and scored two on rapid successive pass touchdowns plays. Marion commenced a last minute rally but the gun ended as ' 1 the goal Lemmon was tackled near line, after receiving a pass from Angstmann. Marion 32 Elwood 6 The Giants once again climbed on the victory wagon by running ram- pant over the Elwood Panthers. Marion started off on the right foot by a series of power plays which set Don Pettiford up for the first touchdown. A short time later, Stewart recovered a fumble on the one yard line and on the next play plunged over from this point. Gap- tain Xen Lemmon then received a pass for the extra ooint. After a few more plays, Dick Weagley took a pass from Pettiford and went over for the third touchdown of the l ediately following this game. mm touchdown, the second team was sent in. After a few offensive plays by Elwood, Bowlds intercepted one of their passes and galloped 35 yards to a touchdown. The Panthers then ran their only touchdown of the la on a through-center p y. game Stewart passed to Pettiford, who XVABASH GOES D scored the last touchdown of the game. As the gun sounded, both teams were playing offensive ball. Marion 13 Wabash 12 Outplayed badly in the fi Marion returned in the second to defeat their old rivals and once again came into possession of the Victory Bell. Early in the game the Apaches took possession of the ball on their own 2 yard line and trampled 98 yards to a touchdown. The rest of the iirst half went to Wfabash, as they stopped nearly every play Mar- ion had to offer. Opening the sec- ond half, Pettiford ran three plays rst half S3 VICTOR Y N..

Navy, Lester Pete,' Williams returned to his coaching position at MHS last spring. Upon his return to Marion, W'illiams re- sumed his old post and set about making changes. His Hrst alteration changed the coach's room into an oihce. Physical train- ing rules and illustrations were posted on the walls and purple and gold curtains were hung to instill school spirit. Pete always maintained that win or lose, the boys should have the correct school spirit. Williams graduated from Central Nor- mal, earning an A.B. and B.S. He then con- tinued his schooling at Indiana Univer- sity, from where he received his M.S. Degree. His favorite class is geometry, and he enjoys semiclassical music. In addition to basketball duties, he also coaches the track team. Returning from the war in 1945, Clem Woltman took coaching positions as assist- ant basketball coach and head football coach. Clem gave Lester Wfilliams able as- sistance with the varsity five and developed a well rounded second team. Clem not only taught the fundamentals of the game, but also stressed school spirit and a line sense of co-operation. The second team, which made an impressive season's record, was composed mainly of sopho- mores and mid-termers and showed great promise for the future. They will undoubt- ly develop into a winning varsity quintet in seasons to come. Clem teaches Health and Safety and United States history during school hours. He is active in school affairs and is a natural leader. The boys who play under his guidance look upon Clem as a fine coach and a regular fellow. Clem in action -:scsi 5.

The pole vault was left mainly to Gerald Fears, the broad jump, Don Pettiford, Eugene Beck, and Lawrence Overmyerg high jump, Jack Mullins, Don Pettiford, and Jack Stephensong shot put, Bill Davis, Martin Lhamon, and Gene Beck. Of this group, Bill Davis was the only one who qualified for the state meet last year. Lester Pete Williams and his able assistant, Dwight Hutcheson, gave these boys the necessary en- couragement and guidance to build a fine team. As many of these boys are underclassmen, future seasons will see Marion High strong in field events. Kg wi 'Vlanwell on the mound HARD HITTING TEAM INAUGURATES a ff is fi re Q?

Under the direction of Coach Clay Layman, the Giant squad showed great promise and bright prospects for the years to come. Layman received his B.S. degree from Ball State in 1937 and came to Marion to teach at McCulloch Junior High. From there he went to Washington Junior High, where he has charge of all sports. Clay play- ed ball all through high school and several years of semi-pro ball after graduation.

Layman carried twenty boys and taught these boys the fundamentals of the game, correct attitude, and school spirit. The usual line up was: Mullins, catcher, Mc- Kee, first base, King, second base, Weagley, third base, Runyon, shortstop, Angstmann, left field, Overmyer, center, Lemmon or Conn, right fieldg Manwell, Woodring, and Vanlandingham, alternating at the pitcher's mound. The line up was flexible, however, as any boy who showed promise and im- provement was given a fair chance to play.

From the enthusiastic participants, six teams were organized and eight league games and a tournament were played. The Wolves and Mules tied for first place in the league by winning eight games and losing two. However, the rub came during the intra- muaral tournament. In a thrilling three game play off, the Wolves defeated the Mules by winning two out of three games. The winning team, captained by Lawrence Overmyer, was composed of George Wert, Richard Tippey, William Koon, Stanley Woodring, Dean Wolfe, Pedro Costello, Don Scearce and James Hoy.

In the past Marion has ranked well toward the top in conference and state honors. This season's mentor, John Hubbard, has worked diligently with a promising group of underclass- men. The sport has been extended to the Junior Highs, and throngs of enthusiastic Freshmen promise to hold a bright future in store for sea- sons to come. As in the past, the Marion linksmen will meet none but the strongest competition in the state. In Hubbard,s schedule are such teams as An- derson, Logansport, Kokomo, and Central of Muncie. In addition to these regularly scheduled meets the Giants will participate in the conference meet at Kokomo, and the state match to be held at Indianapolis.

Eldon Smith, has combined hard work and enthu- siasm, and, joined by a faithful and ener- getic staff, has made great progress in mod- ernizing and giving interest to this publi- cation. Lending his capable and construc- tive guidance, Mr. B. H. Penrod has once again proved his ability as faculty advisor. Late last October, after the staff had been appointed, it held a potluck supper during which Mr. Penrod explained some of the duties involved in publishing the yearbook. The first task was to make plans for the Cactus Frolic which was November 13 at Memorial Coliseum. A floor show was presented, followed by the usual conces- sions and dancing. The Frolic is held an- nually for the purpose of financing the yearbook, thus eliminating advertising. The editor, J. Eldon Smith, and the busi- ness manager, Ruth Bernstein, attended the Franklin Journalism conference at Frank- lin, Indiana, in October. At this time, the plans and problems of publishing the year- book were discussed, and the order was placed for the cover. Football pictures were taken at the close of the football season, and senior class pic- tures were taken by Gayle Studio late in October. Underclass pictures were taken in January, followed by pictures of the var- ious clubs and organizations of the school. Throughout the school year,-snaps were be- ing taken and write-ups submitted. VIRGINIA SCHILS Associate Editor S J. SMITH Editor-in-chief By the last of April, all material, with the exception of the Easter Parade, was turned over to the printer. The book went to press early in May and was returned later for distribution to the student body.

In October Pat McGrew and Suzy Stiefler attended the Indiana High School Press Association Confer- ence in Franklin to discuss the plans and problems of editing the school newspaper. Robert McCai'I'er- ty, Pat McGrew, Suzy Stiefler, Frances Meredith, and Miss Wilhite went to the Butler Journalism Field Day in April at Butler University where they received valuable advice on news and feature writing. Four special editions were pub- lished by the Survey this year. The first was a three-column issue dis- tributed November 21 honoring the national holiday.

The unique April Fool issue was edited by Arlene Kaminsky and Diana Marden. 1In honor of the Easter Parade a special six-page edition was distributed May 3. Forty-eight members of the sur- vey staff, the Cactus staff, and the print shop attended the Marion High School Publications Banquet April 10.

Our Purpose is Truth and Service VALUES What is the real worth of a high school newspaper? What is its purpose, its value? Does it play an essential part in school life? The worth of any publica- tion depends solely on how authentically and how well it serves its readers. A high school newspaper should strive, therefore, to present all news pertaining to the school in an accurate, efficient way. It should reflect the opinions and activities of both students and teachers. It should be a chron- icle of all the important events which make up school life. A high school newspaper can be one of the essential, contributing factors of the school. We of the Survey try in every way possible to live up to the principles of our pur- pose, Truth and Service. SUZY STIEFLER Suzy's secret ambition is to be a psychiatrist or psychiatric social worker. She also wants to write novels, short stories and so forth. This busy senior has been active in spanish club, Girl Reserves, and Quill and Scroll. She plans to at- tend Northwestern University next fall. Suzy has worked on the Survey since she was a sophomore. Exploring people's minds- fasci- nates Miss Stiefler.

THAT'S THE SPIRIT Mysteries of the year: Where Gerald Fears gets the huge quanti- ties of Cheese Tidbits he's always so amply supplied with seventh per- iod. Rumor has it that he's trying to build up his vitamin A supply. How does Bob Sellers get out of the print shop all period '? ? '? Why does Miss Wilhite call Arlene Kaminsky Lady Macbeth ? Where does Fran- ces Meredith get her laugh. WHISTLING I'N THE DARK The feud between Suzy StieHer and Bob McCaHerty is something to see . . . and hea1'. Just Wait Till Next Year McCaiferty is biding his time. Pat McGrew is a disinterested spectator. Millie Gore and Diana Marden, when they get together, spend most of their time reminisc- ing to the rest of the staff about the times they've doubled. Dick Dessing is the mystery man of the staff, since he's the only editor who doesn't come in seventh period. Jo Ann Weicht, the Exchange edi- tor, usually is found with scissors and glue, cutting and pasting bits out of other newspapers to use for filler.

Each group aided in making the year a successful one. Girl Reserve Mother and Daughter tea The Girl Reserves had charge of one au- ditorium and a program at the Y. W. C. A. each month. An outstanding feature of the Y-nights was the March style show pre- sented by the Vogue Shop and modeled by members of the Girl Reserve Organization. During the April auditorium program, Mrs. Ray Benjamin presented an inspira- tional talk in keeping with the Easter sea- son. Besides these interesting programs, the Girl Reserves gave a Christmas party and presents for the children in the orphanage, presented an entertaining program in April at the Emily Flinn Home, and helped to fill Red Cross boxes. To conclude the activities of the year a Mother-Daughter Banquet was held on May 17, during which officers for the com- ing year were installed.

NV. Polley as Director, in its twenty-second season continued to contribute to the full- ness of the school life of M.H.S. students, and enjoyed increasing appreciation for their faithfulness to their many appear- ances for school and community. Marching maneuvers occupied the bands- men during the first few weeks of school. Special formations and appropriate music was given at home football games. A trip to Muncie was made in support of our Giant gridmen, where the band made a hit with their Boogie,' March and marching be- tween halves. On Halloween-eve the band took part in a parade of masked marchers, and gave a program on the south-side of the court house.

Last October, the Art Club sponsored the Autumn Fling and also an exhibit of reproductions of impressionistic paintings from Indiana University. In the spring they sponsored art work done by students of John Herron Art School.

Here an editor wishes to exercise a bit of an editor,s prerogative to add a few parting words for the doubtful benefit of you who are leaving or will leave this in- stitution of learning and comradeship. Those last phrases, learning and com- radeship, are really not as trite as they may seem upon first inspection, for learning is the basic reason of your enrollment, your progress, and your graduation. Comrade- ship in all its phases is the lubrication that has made three years of effort slide by easily while we struggled to obtain a firm grasp upon the mechanics and theories involved in preparing you and me for our parts in the complex patterns of life. Many things may be taken from us in the days that lie ahead, but no one shall be able to requistion our recollections of asso- ciations made during this period of transi- tion from childhood to adulthood. If this publication makes but one small episode in each of your lives vivid again, its purpose will have been accomplished. All is not rose water and flowers when one is confronted with the problem of editing an annual. Mr. Bayerys little aspirins have been consulted many times before this book began to roll off the printer's rapid presses and the number of ideas proposed and discarded would probably H11 a couple of volumes of this weight. But don't think that because I sit here wailing, one lone editor bore the brunt of this publication. This person is willing to extend his horny callouses at any time in a handclasp of gratitude to the number of individuals and persons who helped place your 1946 CACTUS on the launching skids. The staff is most praiseworthy as to their efficiency in the assimilation of subject ma- terial and their puntiliousness and depend- ability in carrying out assigned tasks, no matter how dull or routine those tasks might have been. The experienced advice of our faculty advisor, Mr. B. H. Penrod, guided us ex- pertly through all our trials and tribula- tions. A vote of thanks is also due Mr. V. V. Smith, treasurer, and Miss Grace Cleve- land, art director, and appreciatively ac- claimed is the co-operation given us throughout the year by Mr. E. D. Milhon, the deans, and all of the teachers here at M.H.S. The skillful handling of our ideas and im- pressions by our business associates, the Peer- less Printing Corporation, Gayle, Beitler, and Hockett Studios, and the Fort Wayne Engraving Co., has aided immeasurably in the production of a creditable CACTUS. Well, the wind in my sails seems to have calmed considerably, so having exhibited this book for your earnest plaudits, your profligate editor will bow out as gracefully as his rickety frame permits. Thanx', for everything in the last year, friends. Thanx for everything in the last three years, Marion High. J. ELDON SMITH, Editor-in-chief Au revoir.
