Three short years have passed and you are now on the threshold of a new experience. Beginning at the time you came to us as 7B's, We have followed your progress through the grades with great interest and now, with you, are re- joicing because you have achieved your goal, a promotion into a higher field of education. We trust your years at Martin Boots have brought to you the great pleasure of work Well-done. Our very best wishes go with you in your endeavor to achieve still greater success. -BERTHA M. ANDERSON THE SKETCH Q Uwnllifllifi ji EDITORIAL Q, Cir' X-7-fix' lf' i 2199 J Each year it is the custom for the ninth grade to publish a year book. This idea was started in 1928 and has continued to the present time. We hope it will always be this way. The book is called the Sketch and is edited with the help of our faculty advisor and sponsor, Miss Nussbaum. This year several new features have been added, which we hope will add to the pleasure of our readers. These three years will always stand out in our minds as the best and most enjoyable in our school experiences. From little seventh graders we have advanced and accomplished much. This knowledge will help us not only through Marion High School, but through the School of Life. Before we leave Martin Boots we wish to express our deep gratitude and appreciation to our principals, Mr. Milhon and Mrs. Anderson, and to the faculty for their helpfulness during our three years stay here. Of course, we are glad to enter Senior High School, but regret leaving our old school, with its many fond associations. FRANK, BUTTERWORTH, Editor THE SKETCH 7 Pledge of Allegiance I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all. Freedom Is Made of Simple Stuff From the achives of broken peace we are bringing out old words and dusting them off for use again as shining lanterns to lead us through the darkness of another war. Words like freedom, justice, and truth-all of them hard to define, none of them used more frequently than freedom. You cannot say what freedom is, perhaps, in a single sentence. It is not necessary to define it. It is enough to point to it. Freedom is a man lifting a gate latch at dusk and sitting for awhile on the porch, smoking his pipe before going to bed. It is the violence of an argument outside an election poll, it is the righteous anger of the pulpits. E It is the warm laughter of a girl on a park bench. It is the rush of a train over the continent and the unafraid faces of people looking out the windows. It is all the howdys in the world, and the hellos. It is you trying to remember the words to the Star Spangled Banner. It is the absence of apprehension at the sound of approaching footsteps outside your closed door. It is your hot resentment of intrigue, the tilt of your chin and the tightening of your lips sometimes. It is all the things you do and want to keep on doing. It is all the things you feel and cannot help feeling. FREEDOM-IT IS YOU. -HAZEL PAKKER America For Me 'Tis fine to see the Old World, and travel up and down Among the famous palaces and cities of renown, To admire the crumbly castles and the statues of the kings- But now I think I've had enough of antiquated things. So it's home again, and home again, America for me! My heart is turning home again, and there I long to be, In the land of Youth and Freedom beyond the ocean bars, Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars.

He washed dishes in a restaurant for S12 a week! Don was only 25 and weighed about 200. He was most good look- ing. Even though he had been a fighter since the age of 17, he bore no dis- figuring scars of any kind. Yet at ZS he was through with the iight game because one punch on an opponent's jaw did something to his right hand. He knocked out his adversary but he never fought again, because his broken hand never healed properly. Until then he had been hailed as the coming champ and had had a good time in life, spending plenty of money. But that soon ran out because of the operation on his hand-that had failed. His friends deserted him and he couldn't get a decent job. And here he was washing dishes, instead of fighting, and living in a cheap flat, instead of the expensive Astor Hotel. He was down and out and very discouraged. He'd been rich before and he wasn't used to being short of ready cash. Therefore, he didn't particularly enjoy the status quo. He would get some money somehow. Finally he hit upon the solution. He'd commit a crime, a perfect crime. just one crime would put him on easy street for two or three years. just onwhe'd never be caught. Not he, Don Peters, once almost the heavyweight champion of the world. So Don quit his job, saying he needed a rest, and went looking for a prospective victim. Finally he found an out-of-the-way jewelry store which did a thriving business. For one entire week he carefully plotted his crime, even buying a gun-just in case. One day headlines blazed: Masked Bandit Robs Jewelry Store-Police Unable to Trace Culpritf' Meanwhile Don casually told his landlord he was going to Chicago to visit relatives, but that he'd be back in a month. He planned to use the flat for a month or two after he returned to avoid suspicion and then move uptown to a fine hotel, maybe the Astor again. However, Don didn't go to Chicago. He went to northern Maine. But first in the Grand Central Station he deposited a box in one of the many lockers. The box contained about ninety-five percent of the money he had obtained, and no one could open the locker because he had the only key. . For a month Don hid away and the smoke blew over. He enjoyed life, nshing and relaxing in various lakeside resorts. THE SKETCH 15 Then Don returned to New York. He wasnit going to touch the money until he left his old flat for good. So he went back and even got a new job as soda jerker in a drug store. For a week everything was fine. Then one night as he went home he found his door open. Inside were the police. Don turned in panic and ran. Two policemen followed. Don jumped a fence and ran down an alley. As he ran he thought, How did they know? How did I make mistake? It must be something else. Why am I running? I've done nothing. Still he ran. The policemen gained. One yelled, Halt, or we'll shoot. Don ran and a shot whizzed over his head. Pl' Fi' 31' Don grew scared, very scared. He drew his gun fthe gun he had bought-just in casej, and one policeman went down, a bullet in his leg. The other policeman fired and Don pitched over-dead. A bullet was in his head. Next morning Sergeant Murphy spoke to reporters: I can't understand it, he said. O'Flynn and I received orders to arrest this guy for not appearing before his draft board when he was called. You know, boys, that's a very serious offense. Evidently he'd gone away without notifying his board and his number came up quickly. But no one knows why he ran away and then shot back at us. His only crime, as far as we know, was forgetfulness. Yet it cost him his life. The reporters shook their heads sadly and walked away. The mystery of why Don Peters fired at the policemen was never solved and down in a certain locker in the New York City Grand Central Station lies a box containing S1S0,000, which will never be claimed. To Martin Boots Three years ago we entered here, And now prepare to leave. Let's pause awhile and call to mind The lessons we've received. Three years of study it has been, Three years to reach the height Cf appreciation of education To which we have the right. As we go forward year by year, Let us forever strive, To reach the goals our school has set And lead happy useful lives. -DICK SHIPPY I6 THE SKETCH Favorite Faculty Expressions MISS CURTIS- Now listen, lets be quiet.

Top Row-Mr. Hubbard, Henry Dillon, Dayne Bonta, james Beekman, Frank Welch, Paul Cain, Bob Blacker, Roy Brock, student manager. This year Martin Boots completed one of the most successful basket- ball campaigns in its history. The boys' ability is shown in their record of ten won and five lost. The credit for this record should go to the coach, John Hubbard, who drilled the team, and shaped them into a well function- ed ball club. This team proved themselves so, when at mid-year they lost Bill Coffman, Ed Anderson, and Charles Inman, but continued in their winning way. This year, as last, it took the Blue and Gold cagers three games to take the city series. McCulloch winning the first 21-15 and Martin Boots coming back to win 36-15 and 24-15. THE SKETCI-1 21 Girls Athletics Miss Sinclair came to us from the High Schoollthis year. A graduate of Earlham College, she is proving herself to be a competent gym teacher. In the annual kick pin tournament, 104 won the honors for the seventh grade. 106 for the eighth grade and 202 and 4 held the joint champion- ship in the ninth grade. The high-light of the sports activities is Pentathlon.

This award will be given yearly by Mrs. Anderson and shall be called The Bertha M. Anderson Award of Merit. It requires infinite patience and sympathy to be dean or assistant principal over 800 or more pupils each year for a period of many years. Such has been the work of Mrs. Bertha M. Anderson at Martin Boots school. Not only has she been brave, but patient, courageous and gentle through it all. She has served in capacity of mother, teacher, and doctor. Every wound made mentally or physically has been given special attention by her. Never too busy but what she has time to listen to one's needs and advise cheerfully. Every pupil can truly say with me, To know her is to love her. 24 THE SKETCH School Departments ' Biology Biology is taken only in the ninth grade and is an elective subject.

The students with a few chaperoning teachers journeyed to the capital city by busses and private cars. They went on a sight-seeing trip before meeting at noon for dress rehearsal. The program was patriotic, entertaining and educational, and was very timely since it preceeded United States entry in the 2nd World War by only about a month and a half. It portrayed by historical scenes and songs, the Spirit of America Throughout the Ages.

Vfhat is this we hear about Stephen France inquiring how he could get a date with Ellen Freel? We see Max Horn with Winifred Gilmore lately. What's this all about Max? How will Bobby Braunlin get any fun out of life when the govern- ment requisitions rubber heels? Creeping up behind girls is all rightg but he will have trouble with those noisy leather heels.. Patty Pickens says 'QI don't see why he doesn't come to see me any more. We don't either Patty. Jack Harreld should join a ladies gossip club. He is always arguing with the teachers. ' We wonder why Billy Runyon doesn't get a steady. He keeps all the girls in suspense. Hint. Hint. We find Howard Fink skillful in many things. We find him very good at drawing cartoons. We hear Miss Sturgis is giving her General Language classes singing. Mainly, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. All men are fools who fall for dames says Richard Motsinger. What about the notes you have been sending to Joanne Robb? We hear that Dorothy Cougill is fond of a boy over at High School. I wonder who it could be? Charlotte Curran is just another red head, but some-one doesn't think so. We hear Mary Lou Beshore is taking ballet. Keep it up Mary Lou. It seems as though that handsome Dick Dessing is losing his technique. What's wrong Dick? Marcia Draudt seems to be fond of a boy at Washington School. Why not let us in on the secret Marcia? Ronnie Bollett still has hopes that he will grow just a wee bit taller so he will fit into Donna Crisler's environment. Richard Rauch is continually rolling his eyes around at the girls. She will be a lucky girl when he finally gets them set. Don't be surprised if you see Xen Lemon, and Fred Shinault still walk- ing down the halls with 8th grade books under their arms. They stayed because they were mid termers??? It's too bad there is no method of growing tall quickly. Walton Ball Wants to be che tallest 8th grader so badly. Eldon Smith fso he saysj is all alone in this great big world. There's your chance girls. Maybe if Calvin Osborn had eyes in the back of his head, the teachers could save their breath. They wouldn't have to tell him to turn around. We certainly are glad the craze for white rats has passed. How about it Billy Barley? 33 THE SKETCH 9th Grade News We want to take time and space to thank Miss Hall, Mrs. Anderson, Mr. Milhon and all of the teachers of Martin Boots for their kindness throughout the year. Looking back to the mid-termers who graduated we find that Violet Anderson and John Jones received the American Legion Awards. I am told the students of Martin Boots have bought a great number of Defense Stamps. We must keep up the good work in order to keep our freedom. There have been quite a number of cases of measles going around in Martin Boots. Many students were sent home to spend that long vacation of seven days. It seems as if Barbara Pence and Donna McGriff ought to be great musicians, judging from the fnotesj they write. Whistler's mother has a new rival since Mr. Campbell posed for the ninth grade art class. I wonder why the girls of Martin Boots aren't better in History. Most of them have fdatesj on their minds all the time. The government's worries about the rubber shortage would be over if they would buy Mary jo Lett a combination lock. Think of all the rubber shoe heels she uses going back home after her locker key every morning. Jim Sanders went to the office to get an absence slip but found he was not absentg just absent minded. What will Martin Boots do after our most perfect couple has left, Mary Lee Schultz and DeMoine Frye? Does anyone know who Becky Connelly's heartbeat is? She hasn't had any one on her hook since E. J. Dayne Bonta please tell which it is-Shirley Crisler, Dorothy Cougill, Charlotte Curran, or Ellen Freel. I hear Dick Runyon has been coming over here at noon for quite a while. Pat Clark, could you by chance tell us why? Do those sweet little smiles and notes Robert Chenoweth gives Carol Chamberlin mean anything? All the girls are asking why Paul Smith is so hard to get. Wake up Paul and get yourself a lady friend. What happened to Barbara Nicholls and Bill Coffman? Are you through with the boys, Barbara? Katie Thomas, what is this we hear about you going out with that high school boy? Warning boys, Louise Smith is out to find herself a boy friend. Calling Fred Shinault, calling Fred Shinault, be on the lookout for all girls. They seem to be swarming after you. It seems as though Joan Smith is having competition. Barbara Pence is after Bob Blacker also. Hopkins and lipstick don't mix so well this year, so the 9A girls tell me. Violet Stewart, what's that we hear about you trying to get your big sister's boy friends? THE SKETCH 39 There is a certain 9A girl who is watching the footsteps of Harvey Detrick. You had better check up on it, Harvey. She is a blond. We have been looking around and we find Frankie Welch and Joan Wilson going together. Now, Frankie have you been holding out on us? When Patty Miller and Violet Anderson left at the mid-year James Beekman was left stranded. We all wonder who the next lucky gi.rf'will be. Martin Boots once again claimed fame by defeating the McCulloch freshmen in the city Series. The Martin Boots Carnival went off with a bang again this year as usual. Thanks to the cooperation of the whole school, it was an over- whelming success. This year after a long absence Martin Boots had a school paper. A contest was held to get a name. The lucky winner was handed in by home-room 6. The name was The Astonisherf' Billy Bundy the dark haired canary has a very good friend who is a junior in High School. She doesn't even give you a chance, does she boys? Frank Butterworth's return from Chicago was a bright spot in the hearts of many girls. The mid-year basketball game between the 9A's and the 9B's was a success. The 9B's won but they were only too glad to help the graduating class gain some money. The Sketch movie The Ghost Goes West was very good. We think every one enjoyed it immensely. Walking down the halls I saw a crowd of boys. I thought they must be organizing a baseball team. but I found out the attraction was Betty Whisler who was visiting Martin Boots. Miss Miller must have had a lot of experience teaching. She said she taught David Copperfield. I have noticed a certain 9A girl who has someone or something on her mind. She carries a picture in her purse of a very prominent High School boy, who is about 5 ft. 6 in. tall. I wonder if this is the reason for her troubled look. How about it Lizzy. is it? Hank Dillon. a new comer to our school has made a place in the hearts of most of us for himself. You're tons with us, Hank. Katie Magers is having a good time this year going from one person to another. Becky Connelly and Jim May were seen having a good time together. Could this be the starting of a romance? Only time will tell. And so we come to the end of our stay at Martin Boots, where we have spent three very happy years, which we will long remember with affection. THE SKETCH Do You Know?

He began to soften toward her like a marshmallow. Coed to girl Friend: I have an uncomfortable feeling we're not being followed. After dinner remark: Now before I start I want to say something. Her words drifted over the truth, snowing it under with white lies. Women are always talking about amendments to their constitutions. His education is only pigskin deep. Critics straining at their adjectives. They gave each other a smile with a future in it. She was gnawing on her grievance like a dog on a bone. A seven year old with his teeth parted in the middle. My dwelling was small and I could hardly entertain an echo in it. Politicians talking about themselves red, white, and blue in the face. Women are like elephants. I like to look at them but I'd hate to own one. Friends: People who borrow my books and set wet glasses on them. The kind of girl men toast and women roast. A baby clouding up for a squall. A plump woman came through the door belt buckle first. A young man in his early flirties. He's the kind of guy who has the first dollar he ever owed. A bluebird carrying the sky on it's back. One woman's poise is another woman's poison. She gave him a lunch of cold shoulder and hot tongue. One learns in life to keep silent and draw one's own confusions. That family has enough troubles to be a radio serial. -Rnannxs Dlcasr THE SKETCH 5' Calendar SEPTEMBER 3-Test new brains Q7B'sj. 4-9:30 A.M.-They're here now-those 7B's. 5-1:00 P.M.

And we'll be ever loyal to your gold and to your blue. Jo ANN JONES, 7A THE SKETCH SS Martin Boots Glee Club Any pupil in the 9A or 9B is eligible to try out for Glee Club. Some- times pupils of the eighth grade have been taken in if there was a short- age in some part and if the eighth grader had an exceptionally good voice. The members are given class voice instructions. Correct breathing, good posture, vowel formation, and enunciation are stressed. Some appreciation work is given by listening to such song artists as Lawrence Tibbet, Nelson Eddy, Miliza Korjus, Deana Durban, and others. During time when the club is not working on a special program the students are allowed one day a week, generally Friday, when they them- selves take charge. They have programs, play victrola records of their own choosing, or if there is any business to come before the organization they use this time. The programs are arranged by committees which are ap- pointed by the president. Officers are elected each term. In the fall Billy Coffman was elected president and Baillie Bundy won the spring election. At Christmas the Glee Club had a Pot Luck supper and party They used money for this from a hot-dog and home-made candy sale. During the year the Glee Club has given several performances to our student body and to the public. First of these was the Amerizanization pro- gram given to our students. Second, the same program given at the Murat Theatre, Indianapolis, to the Indiana Jr. High School Teachers and Officials. Third they sang Christmas Carols in our halls at Christmas time. Fourth they sang Christmas Carols on the Christmas Street Car. Fifth, a program of sacred music was given to the parent-teacher association. Sixth, an Easter program was given to our Martin Boots students . The Glee Club robes are royal blue with gold stoles, which are our school colors. Something New Started in the Music Department This semester there have been two selected groups of music students started. One is a boys choir composed of about twenty boys from the seventh and eighth grades. The other is a girls' class composed of girls from the 8B and 8A. The boys' group meets the Hrst period on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The girls' group meets the seventh period every other day. Each group is given class voice training. The boys' group assisted the Glee Club on one song for the Easter Program. The girls' group have been singing solos in class one day a week with constructive criticism from the class and teacher. The accompanists of all the music classes gave a program of piano solos in the auditorium on April 24th. The following people accompany for music classes: Barbara Pence, Lorene Brandon, Billy Foster, Dale Winder, Susan Swanger, Mara Jean Mart, Charlotte Curran, Coleen Ziegler, jo Ann Wilson, Marjorie Hills, Donna Getsinger, Suzy Stiefler, Rachel Duncan, Gladys Gray, Claudia Phillips, Wilma Pierce, Miriam McGuire, and Jo Ann McColl. 56 THE SKETCH Best Boy Sport As we go walking down the hall, We see a boy both large and tall. If you would put me to the test, I would tell you he is best In sports and school and everything. So here is Henry Dillon, Hank to us And tho' he doesn't make a fuss When it comes to basketball Hank is sure to help us all Learn to be good sports. School Pest And now we come to the worst school pest, And by the worst I don't mean best. The one the teachers ought to spank Can be none other than our little Frank. Space forbids giving a brief resume of Frank Butterworth's misdeeds which won him the dubious honor of his title, for even that would require at least a full page! And here we are at the end of our column, so we must sign off with an Hasta Luego, Au Revoir and Cheerio.
