Mr. Curtis tliig noyp has just completed his second year with us. Wfe think him the best basket ball coach in the State. Although in both State Meets his teams were defeated in the first game we still think they were the best in the tournament. As well as being a good basketball coach, he has proved he can turn out some good trackmen. Last year his thinly clads defeated Manual lligh School of Indianapolis in a dual meet, a feat which has not been done by any other track team in lndiana for several years. He has very little old material this year but he will have a good team in the end. lle is a good sport and is continually playing pranks on the boys. tile is just an overgrown boy hiniselfj Mr. Curtis has received oHers to come to other schools but we believe we can keep him--at least we hope so. His success is due to his untiring and ceaseless efforts as well as his great amount of patience and continual good humor. mtrxeteen 1bunbreb twenty awe M.XR'IxINSYII,.LI2 IIICII SCIIOOI.

C. lluchstc the Spectroscope Tournaments Come and Tournaments Go, But Martinsville Doth Likewise After playing through an extraordinary hard schedule with only four defeats registered against us we entered the final stage, full of hope and high expectations. As was predicted we had little trouble winning our sectional, defeating Emin- ence in the final game 31 to 8. The next step toward the championship was the regional held at Bloomington, March the twelfth. Here we were pitted against Garfield fTerre Hautej a team of unknown strength. The first few minutes Gar- field stepped out and ran her score up to 8. Then our boys suddenly awakened to the fact that we must win this game to be represented in the finals, started a bombardment which netted us 38 points. Meanwhile Garfield had added only II points to their original 8. The Finals held at the State Fair Grounds in lndianapolis were witnessed by more people than ever before collected under one roof to watch High School Boys fight it out for a basket ball championship. Martinsville, Anderson and Franklin were touted as the three strongest teams in the state, therefore a great crowd as- sembled Friday morning before nine oiclock to watch F. H. S. and M. H. S. start the ball rolling. Playing without the services of Hunt our regular back guard we got away to a poor' start in the first half. However, Franklin was running true to form and at half time the score read Franklin I6 Martinsville 7. In the next period M. H. S. played the champs off their feet and with only a minute to go Nash tied the score at 24 all. Then came the deciding break of the game. Tudor fouled and Vandiver scored one. A moment later Friddle dropped one thru from the field and the game was over. However the defeated Martinsville is sure proud of her team and her reputation that no state tourney is complete without a team from M. H. S. So here is to the squad of 1921-2g NGO get 'em gang, eat 'em up. After our defeat Franklin eliminated Rochester, jefferson fLafayettej and Anderson successively, thereby keeping a clean slate and winning the much cov-- eted prize. Comment of game. QFrom Indianapolis News, March 18, IQZID. It was one of the greatest battles in the history of Hoosier basket ball, Mar- tinsville making one of the most remarkable comebacks ever registered on a bas- ket ball floor. Nineteen inunbreb twenty wne TUDOR Maurice Tudor, the lengthy ex-army man from Mon- rovia joined us last year. Because of I. H. S. A. A. rules he was not allowed to play until the last semester. This year he has led the scoring in nearly all our games. He is fast, a very hard man to guard and is death on short shots. He was selected as all state center by all the Indianapolis papers. He shoots like a Willie Hoppe and handles the ball about as well as any man in the state. He is lost by graduation this year. KNOY Knoy, a former Monrovia lad, came to Martinsville in his junior year. We sometimes think that he lives only for basket ball. He played forward last year but this year was shifted to floor guard and has filled the place to the satisfaction of even the most pessimistic. He is in the game heart and soul, playing with the determina- tion to win. He is in most every play, dribbles excellent- ly and usually drops in a long one. His sweater bears two service stripes. He graduates this year. - PAUL Coming into High School with a year's experience in basket ball, Hobe immediately started training for the squad. He is a consistent player and an excellent da- fensive forward. He is known as the man who held Smiling Williams scoreless in the Anderson game. He possesses the prize collection of M. sweaters, having earned four in basket ball and three in track. Hobe is one of the hardest workers we have ha.d and much credit is due him for that 24 to 18 defeat of Franklin last year. Remember that is the only game they lost all season. UDB 5D6Cfl'OSCOD6 NASH The slimy, slim, slick, slippery eel, has nothing on Conrad when it comes to wiggling thru the opponents' defense He is a hardflghter yet a clean player and is one of our most consistent scorers. He jumped into immediate fame last year when he Went in the Kokomo game as a sub and registered seven baskets. He is a good floor man and always keeps his guards worried. This is his second and last year on the team. HUNT It would be impossible for Martins- ville to enter the Iinal tournament with the entire squad intact and this year Lefty was the goat. He contracted tonsilitis after the sectional and was lost to the team for the rest of the season. Lefty is only a Sophomore but is as steady as a four year veteran. He is the boy who proved the stumbling block for so many of those short shot wonders this year. Lefty also is the pepper factory for the team. Smitty is one of the small- est men on the squad, also one of the fastest. He hand- les the ball cleverly and dribbles well. He is a hard man to guard and is good on long range shots. He took Lefty's place in the regional J SMITH and was probably the small- est back guard in the state. In the Franklin game he showed such fight that he received honorable mention as a guard. He is only a junior and should be a great asset to the team of '22. Nineteen 1bunbre0 'Ctwentp wne CURTIS Ray is trying to uphold the family name in basket ball and is doing a cred- itable job of it. He got away to a fine start early this season and played reg- ularly until an accident in the Short- ridge game kept him out for several weeks. However he should prove a valuable cog in the 1922 machine. He scored 13 baskets in the Brownsburg gaire. He is also a good hurdler and one of our best track men. KINNEMAN The big curly-headed junior only came out for basket ball this season and lack of experience has kept him from shin- ing as he should. However he showed his worth in the Shortridge game. He is death on short shots and has the size of a center. With a little more exper- ience he should round out into a star and is the likely candidate for center next year. Frank is only a sopho- more and should develop in- to some player before gradation. This is his sec- ond year on the squad. He is a great big husky kid from the country and is not BAIN afraid to rrix it up. He has played every position on the team but seems best suited for a guard position. He played a good game against Anderson and has made most of the trips with the team. the Svectroscooe ROW LAND Although only a freshman Sam is an ex-sailor and has age for a good basket ball player. This is his first year on the squad but he plays with the cool- ness of a veteran. He is a great scrap- per and an excellent defensive forward. With three more years to play he should develop into one of the greatest players ever produced by M. H. S. SCHNAITER This good looking Dutchman though only a Freshman, has stuck to the squad faithfully. His usual duty is to play back guard against the first team in practice. At this position he receives much rough treatment but always comes back for more. With three years yet to go he should be a wonder. Bige having gained fame as a referee decided this year to go out for the squad and has made good. He is a scrappy little forward, handles the ball well and is HARPER excellent on angle shots. He makes up for his size by using his head and is one of the headiest players in school. He has two more years to play. 'IFUIICICCII 'IDIIIIDFCD UWCHTQ wne MARSHALL Red deserves more credit than he receives for although he has never played on the first team he has been one of the most faithful men on the squad for the last three years. He is a hard worker, faithful to his school and works for the lgood of the team. He graduates this year. BROWN Buster is one of the silent workers of the squad. He never voices a complaint and is always ready to cheer up a team-mate. He is a dandy goal shot and covers the floor fairly well but lacks experience. However as he is only a Freshman he has plenty of time to make a name for himself. CD6 Snectroscope M. H. S. Yell Leaders, 1921 PAYNE Hlt Em Hlgh Hlt Em Low Yea, Martlnsvllle, Let's Go.

'lrbe Spectroscope interclass Basket Boll An unusual amount of interest was shown in the interclass games this year. lt seemed as if every one was against the juniors merely because they had been victorious the two preceding years. ln the preliminary games before the Tourney the fight for the Championship narrowed 'down to two teams, the Juniors and Seniors. These two classes have been bitter rivals in all interclass activities during their High School career and ex- citement ran high for an entire week before the final games. The Champs defeated the Sophs, in the semi-finals and the Seniors Won eas- ily from the Freshmen. The two ancient rivals clashed Friday, February 25 in the deciding game of the Tournament. It was one of the best interclass games ever played here and each point was scored only after hard lighting. The time-keepers' whistle ended the game with the score standing 15-9. The Champs are justly proud of their record of five games won and none lost during the entire schedule. 1Fltneteen 1bunbreb trwenrp 19116 TNTIERCLASS IMSKIQT 1:,xLL '1'12.xM IQZI .1UN1cmR 'r1i,x1x1 Stzmding: Paul, Moss, I1llbI7Zl'I'd, Crm Seated: South, llite, Sandy. NCT. the Svectroscone SUMMARY OF THE SEASON That M. H. S. has just completed a most successful season in Basket Ball is evidenced by the fact that we have scored 1023 points to our opponents 505 in the twenty-six scheduled games played before the sectional. This is a record to be truly proud of as we have played such teams as Anderson, Bloomington, Frank- lin, Lebanon, Tech and Vincennes. Nov. Nov. 20 Nov. 24 Nov. 26 Dec. 3 Dec. 4, Dec.

Vincennes is defeated in a clean well played game 29 to 22. Lebanon arrived in Martinsville much peeved over the result of their game at Bloomington last night. They were determined to take their spite out on us but we sent them home with a dozen of the forty-eight points scored. Went to Anderson last night, lost by the inconcievable score of 60 to 22. VVait till you come to Martinsville. Say this thing has got to stop. Franklin added to our misery by coming over and romping on us to the do-re-mi of IQ to II. The M. H. S.

Pity the poor guys who have to drive back to Bloomington thru the rain to-nite. Lebanon takes the joy out of life. Vtfe lost 35 to 16 and didn't make a goal the first half. Only time this year we have played twenty min- utes without scoring more than two points. Indianapolis Star hasn't much to say about Shortridge being swamp- ed on their own Hoor under a 42 to IQ score. Brownsburg puts up a good iight but are downed 38-26. Advance came down and took a 48 to I3 trimming. Indianapolis papers loud in their praise of Manual who downed Martinsville last night at thef'Y', 36 to 35.

Rear Row: Kinnenian, Gibbs, Petro, Tilford. Bennett. Basketball as a sport for girls is rap'dly uaining favor among the students of Martinsville High. However the girls are not allowel as nuch time for practice the boys nor do they have a regularly paid coach. The girls got a poor start this year having the use of the gym only two days a week and then only at noon Neither did they have a coachg it was a very dis-organized team which journeyed to Monrowie to enter the camp of the strong Monrovia team. Therefore it was not much of a surprise when the girls come back with an over- whelming defeat hovering over them. Howex er after this game our friend When G. inter- vened in behalf of the girls and volunteered his services as coach. Under his tutoring tho team improved rapidly and in the next game. the one with Center Grove, the girls turned in a 12 to 4 victory. The results of VVhen's strategy were again shown when the girls held Mon- rovia to a one point victory in a hard fought game. At that Martinsville scored more field goals than Monrovia but the victors won their game on fouls. The Juniors walked off with the class tourney winning from the Sophs in the final game 17 to 5. Here's to next year girls. Let's turn out a Wonder Five. Summary of the Season Continued players but cannot take home the hzleon. Good gzune though, 'lin-ch, :ind some yelling. lieb. 4, M. ll.

Their opponents were Monrovia, Paragon, Seconds, Stilesville, Cloverdale and Manual Seconds. Monrovia proved to be a tough opponent and the Seconds were forced to scrap every second of play for their one point victory. The rest were easy and all were defeated by comfortable scores. The second team is often given insufficient consideration by the majority of fans, but a few know what the subs have to stand during the entire season. They must face the first team every evening and must take all the knocks, kicks etc. which come their Way. It is this group of youngsters who keep the first team in fighting condition and too much credit cannot be given them for their part in helping M. H. S. to put forth a victorious five. This is the first year that the entire squad have been awarded sweaters for their services. This year the seconds received sweaters identical to those of the First team. Congratulations seconds, you sure earned them. Summary of the Season Continued our game for the twelfth. Feb. IS, Oh you kid, did you see what Martinsville did to Anderson? Vlfell read this 39 to 22 in favor of M. H. S. Anderson made only six field goals. Where's the guy that said that Anderson was super human? Feb. 25, Finished up our schedule by walloping Greencastle 42 to 24. How's that for a record to be envied? Only five defeats and no two of them by the same team.

Although it is not large, yet it has done much toward increasing school spirit. A great deal of enthusiasm showed itself when this publication was first started, and though the enthusiasm weakened at times, the student body thoroughly enjoyed the Red and Blue. It is to be hoped that the publication of a school paper has become an estab- lished custom in M. H. S. It has many advantages-the most noteworthy being that it prompts school spirit and gives experience to underclassmen, which is very helpful in publishing an annual. The Red and Blue has been a decided success in a financial way, the business men having co-operated in a manner which has made this success possible.

It seems but yesterday, Since we first began the journey Along our high school way. For they have been such pleasant years, To take them as a whole. For we forget the ups and downs, Now that we've reached our goal. There are ties of love that bind us, Which we cannot understand, VVhich seal our hearts together With Friendship's iron band. How sacred are those memories! How close the ties, and true, Which make us friends, forever, Followers of the gold and blue. When out upon life's journey, Each must go his separate way. But the paths which seem so distant Will unite in one, some day. And when all these paths are traveled And the journey past and done May the Golden Gate swing open To the class of twenty-one.

EDC Spectroscope The Honor Roll On the evening of the Commencement exercises of the graduating class, the honor roll is read. This list is made up of the names of such seniors as have completed their four years of work in the high school with an average of ninety or over. The averages are based on the grades made for each semester only, and do not cover term grades. Since the semester grades, however, are in most cases, averages of the term grades, the results are not far different. Although at time of going to press of this book, the exact names and standing could not be ascertained, it is known that the honor roll this year will set a standard not attained by classes in recent years. The class con- tains two of the best students ever attending the high school, and interest lies in seeing which of the two will lead. Scholarships to colleges are based on the honor roll, for the most part. The Rector scholarship and one or two others, require that the recipient be an honor roll student, preferably the leading student of the class.

A Science club can be made one of the most interesting parts of a H. S. course if conducted systematically and properly. Martinsville High School's club is instructive as well as interesting. The club meets on Thursday evening every two Weeks usually in the science room. Talks are given by members. This High School is probably the only one in the State which has main- tained a club of this nature for so long a period of time. Through its efforts sufficient funds have been raised to procure a telescope. The telc- scope, it is hoped, will prove a valuable addition to the equipment for science courses. Mr. Hubbard and the School Board contributed the larger part of the fund. The Senior Class extends to this organization its best wishes for its success and permanence.

M'I I'S' EDC Spectroscope SENIOR CLASS PARTY-OCTOBER I The first Senior class affair was a weinie roast at the home of Mayme Cramer. They had a good time and good eats, however, very few know just how good the cider really was. Both jugs disappeared then afterwards reappeared-but empty. And we fear that the temptation to break training proved too great for some of the basket ball squad. Miss Hart and Miss Stevens were the chaperones. l....l...-. 1- JUNIOR CLASS PARTY-OCTOBER 1 The luniors opened the year by having a weinie roast. They drove in cars out to Norma C1'one's home about live miles south of town, and built the fire on top of a hill, The evening was spent in filling certain en'pty portions of the body with roasted weinies, marshmallows and buns. The affair was well attended and enjoyed by everybody present. FRESHMEN CLASS PARTY On the night of October S, 1920, the meek Freshmen had their first party in the form of a weinie roast. They went to Shireman's Fish Ponds in machines and built their fires on the hill overlooking the first group of ponds. They were chap- eroned by Mr. Hochstetler, Miss Cook and Miss Kendall. The eats, weinies, marsh- mallows and cider fsoftb were greatly enjoyed by all. After this pleasant episode, many exciting games were played. THE SENIOR-FRESHMAN CLASS PARTY The Seniors and Freshies had quite a hilarious time, Friday night, at the high School. Tudor and Ab gave a dance, equalling, or perhaps, surpassing that of Wallace Reid in, The Dancin' Fool. For the benefit of the Basket Ball boys, the clock was turned back-we won't say how much. The chaperones were Miss Stevens, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Caldwell and Mrs. Edelman. GLEE CLUB-APRIL 29 The I. U. Glee Club which came under the auspices of the .lunior class furnish- ed one of the best musical entertainments given during the year. The Club con- sisted of thirty members which included a seven piece orchestra. The program was made up of popular, classical and jazz, so everybody had the chance to enjoy the kind of music that appealed to them. nineteen 'bllnbfeb 'UWeIll'Q Wlle KATCH A-KOO The High School Auditorium was used in November for the presentation of the musical comedy, Katcha-Koo. lt was given by the Tri Kappas of Martinsville assisted by a great many High School students. The proceeds were used for charity. On November 22, Hardy VVilliamson, tenor of the Century Opera Co., and the Fleming Sisters Trio, instrumentalists, appeared under the auspices of the Staley Piano House. They gave a very unique recital, permitting their art to be heard in comparison with Thomas A. Edison's Recreation on the New Edison Phonograph. This was one of the most thoroughly pleasing recitals ever given in Martinsville. MOTHER-DAUGHTER BANQUET Friday evening, November 19, a Mother and Daughter banquet was given in the High School Gymnasium. This was the Hrst affair of the kind to be held in our school and was a decided success. Toasts were given both by the mothers and their daughters and a musical program under the direction of Miss Gasaway was greatly enjoyed. A vote was taken to make it an annual occurence. FATHER-soN BANQUET On the night of january 28, a Father and Son banquet was held in the Gym- nasium. Talks were given on Our duty to our boysu and What the boys expect of us and responses were given by several High School boys in an interesting man- ner. The menu was prepared by tlle mothers of the boys and served by members of the Home Economics class. The Sophomore class gave their first weinie roast Friday evening, October I, at the home of Franklin Bain. They were chaperoned by Misses Cook and Rose. There is no doubt but that each one present enjoyed a very delightful evening as well as plenty of good eats. The Sophomore class was delightfully entertained at the home of Marjorie Morse on Friday evening, December IO. There were about twenty-five members present, and Misses Kendall and Gasaway were chaperones. The house was decorated in keeping with Christmas and the evening was spent in playing various games. Refreshments of sandwiches and cocoa were served and the guests departed at a late hour. UDB 5U6CflZO8COD6 The Sophomore class gave a party at the home of Robert Rose, Saturday night, February 19. The evening was spent with games and music, and refresh- ments of ice cream and wafers were served. Mr. and Mrs. Rose and Miss Gasaway chaperoned and a very enjoyable evening was spent. FEATURE PICTURE The motion picture 'fHuckleberry Finn, one of Mark Twainls favorite classics of American boyhood, was given at the Grace Theater, March 22, under the aus- pices of the Junior class. Large crowds were present and quite a sum was cleared for the class treasury. The Juniors gave a very successful partv at the High School Saturday night, February 19. Their class colors were caried out in decorations and also in the re- freshments. Mr. D. N. Nutter played for dancing. just by seeing the crowd you'd never guess how much the Juniors and Seniors love each other. The chaperones were Miss Stevens, Miss Cook and Miss Singleton. 39 'Y t0Q 21.9 Q y -, X ll M L L .

We were off for Mars. I waved a last farewell to my friends on earth and sailed away into Infinity. Satan and I gazed at each other soulfully. Satan was the name of the cat which I had brought along for company-my indispensable wise companion. As I was saying we gazed at each other soulfully. Each knew what the other was thinking. Our thoughts were exactly the same. We wished we hadn't volunteered so readily to be shot off from earth in a rocket bound for Mars. Assuredly there were the twenty-five thousand awaiting us on our return. The question was, would we return. No one knew, it remained to be seen. The speed of the rocket in- creased. I judged that we were going at a rate of about a thousand miles an hour. The professor under whose direction I was taking this trip had told me beforehand of the dangers and the possibility of failing to reach Mars. However I had not entertained the slightest fear. Why should I fear now? Well! we fogged along, sailing through clouds and through infinity. Our temporary apartment was fitted with every comfort for Satan and I. The only trouble was that it was a trifle small. However-this caused me no worry since I was destined to hit Mars in twenty-four hours, and if I did not-I would probably be past the worrying stage. Laying aside these thoughts I selected a book from several I had brought along and although the light was dim proceeded to read it. Satan curled up and was soon snoring with vigor. It seemed hours since we had started. Perhaps it was. I discerned that it was growing dusk and my thoughts returned to earth and reflected upon events occur- ring there. Slowly pity for myself came into my mind and I felt very lonely and blue. Every once in a while we passed a star but they seemed miles away. They looked just as solemn and mysterious as they did when viewed from my porch swing on that earth which I had left behind. At length the persistent hum and purr of the rocket as it sped along caused me to become drowsy and I passed into sweet oblivion. The rocket went its way. I was startled from my sleep by a violent jar, a grating sound, several more bumps and then all was still. Hastily I fumbled at the many contrivances on the door. Satan waited patiently. Finally the small door was opened and I walked out with a nonchalent air and thumping heart. A blue sky above me and earth beneath me. What more did I wish? Satan followed with a dignified gait. My eye took in all the surroundings at one glance. We had landed in what I supposed to be a chicken yard. It had that aspect. The worthy inhabitants of the afore- said place welcomed us with a loud cackling which almost deafened me. Satan proceeded to silence some of them and feathers were flying merrily when sudden- ly above the din I heard a voice. Someone was singing in a touching tremolo Meet me tonight in dreamlandf' VVhere in the world did a person living on the planet of Mars ever learn that song? , I asked myself. The singing stopped and nineteen bunbreb twenty wne then was resumed. The sweet nasal melody Hoated out to me. I could restrain myself no longer. Suddenly the apparent owner of the voice appeared in the doorway, paused a moment, and advanced towards me. He gazed at me with an air of curiosity. l blinked my eyes, and at lastassured myself that I gazed upon that most excellent personage, the renowned scientist, Nathaniel E. Norman. I opened my mouth, and said nothing. My mind faintly recalled vague rumors which I had heard-- namely-that he had at a time several years previous started to Mars in a contri- vance of his own making and that he had never been heard from again. It was generally supposed that he had been lost. Joy filled my heart. How nice it was to see my old classmate again, after all these years and under such circumstances. The Hon. Nat advanced, smiled benignly upon me and said, Ah, indeed. VVhat an unlooked for pleasure. He shook my hand. And how, may I inquire, did you arrive here ? I pointed to the rocket. I-le immediately understood. His eyes then fell upon Satan who sat contented amongst his feathered victims eyeing us with curiosity. The great man tickled his ear, meanwhile saying, A cat, Ah! It has been many a year since my eyes have beheld such a speci- men of an animal. But see ! His face was illuminated with pride. These are a choice breed of chickens which I have been raising. Are they not wonderful? Observe the color, the texture of their feathers. I have learned much of chickens since I began raising these. I restrained my impish desire to smile, admired the chickens vehemently and we proceeded hence into the house. To my surprise the house differed little from those of my native country. The Hon. Nathaniel furnished me with breakfast while we discussed old memories. Satan's appetite having been then appeased we passed into the great scientist's laboratory. He then related to me all which had befallen him since he left that earth of ours. It seems that he had been successful in his attempt to reach Mars and had had no inclination to return. He had made himself popular with the peo- ple, establishing a reputation as a scientist, built himself a house to which was at- tached a laboratory. He gave lectures on various subjects and raised chickens. He told me that he had almost been able to communicate with our planet several times but had not yet succeeded. He imparted much information to me concern- ing the customs of the people. With a sagacious wink he told me that there were no such things as styles in Mars. I had judged that from his costume. I was informed that in the schools there were no languages taught but the native tongue and that Trigonometry, Geometry and all Science was absolutely unknown. I had hoped, said the great man with a supercilious lift of the two or three hairs which composed his eyebrows, I had to impart that information to them. Here he smiled benignly upon me. After that we roamed over the house talking on various subjects. He asked me about everybody on earth. I told him we were all well. He informed me that yellow was the popular color on Mars and for me not to wonder at the unusual sights which I should see. Meanwhile Satan view- ed all this with me. The I-Ion. Nat then took us into the streets of Mars. They looked much like those of my native town. I was viewed with much curiosity by the people and I UDB Spectroscove let nothing escape my notice. My companion seemed to be held in high esteem by the entire population and as we sauntered along I felt that l would not be loathe to live there. Once we were startled by a sudden howl of distress. I recognized it as an S. O. S. call of Satan's and looking behind me beheld Satan in a terrified mixup with one of the native creatures. Hastily we rescued him and resumed our journey. The day was spent in exploring and looking over the place. The great Scientist gave me the History of Mars over which I have since lingered many an hour Naturally the reader will be curious as to the personal appearance of the people of Mars and so I will give a general description of them and their characteristics. The complexions of the majority of them were a faint pink hue. I would have given much to have possessed such a color. They were much like our people in stature excepting that fduring my stay on the planet of Marsj I saw not one fat person. I wished that I might have imported some to Mars since they are so plentiful in my own country. The nose was the dominant feature of the face, being very long and also of a pinkish hue. This was accounted for, my companion said, by the raw climate of Mars. Another thing about the people which attracted my attention was the unus- ual color of their eyes. Some were pink, others blue but the majority of them were green. I must confess that I admired their eyes very much despite the novelty of their appearance tome. The hair of all was very crinkly and of a sandy color. It was cut very short and parted in the middle. As the Scientist had told me, yel- low was the popular color. All wore it, even the traffic policeman at the cross- ways. As we went along my host and I conversed upon the charm of the fair sex of Mars. He told me that as yet his heart had remained impregnable to the glances of the fair damsels and that he often longed to see the girls of his native country. As he said this I observed that he wiped his eyes very often. Then I recollected the many cases which the Hon. Nat. had had while a classmate of mine and I sym- pathized with him heartily. Once I was introduced to a special friend of his and just as I stretched forth my hand to shake with my new friend I felt a firm but gentle pressure on my nose. My astonishment was too great for words. I could say nothing. VVhat on earth did the person mean? Then, not wishing to appear embarrassed I smiled into the friendly green eyes of the man and we went on our way. My companion explained to me that that was the custom of greeting in Mars and he asked my pardon for not having informed me of it. Having been thus enlightened I felt my former sense of humor return and laughed very much at the recollection of my introduction. Finally-when the day was well spent we turned our footsteps homeward. Towards nightfall as the Hon. Nat was pointing out to me my own planet midst the thousands of others in the sky I felt a longing to see my own country again. I imparted this information to my host. He begged me to stay longer, but nothing could induce me to remain and so preparations were made for my de- parture. As a favor to him nay host asked that I leave Satan with him as a com- panion to him and a pleasant reminder of my visit. Although my heart almost cracked with sorrow at the thought of leaving my cat behind I consented and prep- arations went on. The rocket was overhauledg it was in good condition. The nineteen bunbreb twenty awe great Scientist loaded me with messages and letters for his friends. He gave me niany souvenirs, pronounced blessings upon me and after we had bidden farewell to each other many times I shook hands with my old classmate for the last time. I kissed Satan solemnly upon his forehead and climbed into the rocket. There was a crash as of a cannon and the rocket slowly ascended. I looked for the last time upon my two friends. There was a look of sweet sublimity upon the face of the great Scientist and Satan was gazing heavenward with soulful eyes. VVith this last scene impressed upon my mind and plaintive yowls of Satan in my ear l sailed away through infinity homeward bound. 5,1 'Q W- 5.0 C Q . 21: - 1:5 To The Wastebasketv Silently, patiently stand you there , Awaiting a note, a bit of gossip, Gr perhaps some gum A silent onlooker of each daily scene.

'HUICTCCII 'DIIIIDYCU UWCIITQ 006 Overworking the Horoscope It was a fine autumn evening in May, 1941. The birds were singing merrily in the rhubarb trees as I walked along Wfatermelon Boulevard in the metropolis of Brown's Crossing, the latest suburb to be included within the limits of Greater Martinsville. For Martinsville had grown to be the largest city in the state, prin- cipally through the efforts of the class of ,2I. As I was interestedly watching a man catching rivets on the one hundred and sixty-second story of the Hotiron building, the newest skyscraper, I was suddenly startled into the realization of the fact that something had struck me on the head. I could not see that this was the case, my ears conveyed to me no such im- pression, my senses of taste and smell could impart no such information. Perhaps it was intuition or the knot which was beginning to form on the back of that part of my anatomy which should have contained my gray matter, which informed me of the fact. I looked upward. At first I could see nothing. Then far up, somewhere near the seventy-eighth story of the building in front of which I was standing, I could see a cylindrical object extending outward from a window. Suddenly it was drawn in and I saw a pair of arms wildly waving from the window. The arms disappeared and I stood wondering over these strange occurrences. Then something glittering on the sidewalk caught my eye. I leaned over and picked it up. It was a gold ring-I gasped-it contained the letters M. H. S. ,2I. just then the door of the building opened with a jar and out rushed a man of peculiar appearance. He was short and fat and ambushed in a mass of red whis- kers. He wore a suit of green and orange plaid, from the pockets of which pro- truded Hasks, retorts, storage batteries, test tubes, and numerous pieces of un- classified scientific apparatus. There seemed something familiar about the man. Then recognition came like a flash. Why, Redfield Mason! as in the saintly days of yore! The recognition was mutual. Hel-lo! answered Red. I haven't seen you since you were appointed Pro- fessor of Profane Languages in the Mahalasville School of Crime. And you, I answered, this is the first time I've seen you since you earned world-wide fame by discovering the eleventh dimension! How is the only suc- cessor to Einstein and Sir Oliver Lodge? Not very wellf' he responded, and surprised mle by saying, I've been work- ing too hard. However, come up to my laboratory and we'll talk things over. VVe entered the building and Redheld pulled me into a small square portion of the floor far above which I could see daylight. The seventy-eighth floor descended to meet us, we stepped onto it and it rose again to its usual position. That's my latest invention, explained Redfield. It does away with the ele- vatorsf' the SDCCTYOSCODC He led me bewildered into his huge laboratory, and motioned me to a chair. You have arrived at a very opportune time, I was just preparing my report to the alumni association for the twentieth anniversary of the class of ,2I. Now, as it happens, I but recently patented the first genuine horoscope since the time of the Arabian Nights. By means of this apparatus which you see on the table I can obtain a picture of anything that is going on in the world at any time. By placing a photograph before it I can locate the original, see his every action and hear everything he says. Come here and Illl show you how it operates. He pointed out a complicated arrangement of glass, steel, wire, crystal, brass, and platinum which bore a general appearance much like an idealized portait of a cross section of Dubin's junk yard. The great man picked up a list of names which was lying on the table. Some were checked off. The next on the list was Hobart Paul. Prof. Mason cut the picture of this member of the class of ,2I from The Spectroscopef' placed it on a glass plate and pressed a button. A whirring noise ensued and a ray of indigo light focused on a small lense. The scientist put his eye to an opening in a brass tube. That's what I call grapes! Hobe has reached his land of dreams as he ex- pressed it in English class once. Look! Grapes! I put my eye to the eye piece and marvelling, beheld a wonderful scene. I seemed to see a rich Egyptian palace. On a golden throne sat a mighty ruler with a crown of gold and gems on his head. Around him swayed groups of real pic- tureshow Egyptian maidens, clothed, or rather unclothed, as the potentate, when called Hobart Paul in Senior English had pictured. As I seemed to be taking unwonted interest in this scene Redfield suddenly snapped off the button and the scene vanished. He next cut out the picture of Muriel Crews. I-Iere is where we save time. VVe can kill two birds with the same stone, observed the famous man. He adjusted the apparatus and then, stood puzzled. Look and see if you can make anything out of it,'l he said. A store front was thrown upon the screen, the show windows of which were filled with ladies' hats of fantastic designs. On the window was printed: Monsieur V. Parquer, Modiste. NVhy that's easy, I said. that's merely French for Mr. VV. Parker, Millinerf' Nuff said, observed Redfield. Here is the list of those I have already observedf I will read them to you. Chic Bain is employed by the Shoe Polish Trust. His job is to frequent the dance halls and thus increase the demand for ladies' shoe polishf, And Nat Norman! I aways knew Nat would succeed in electricity. He has risen rapidly until now he is chief operator of the electric chair in the Brown County jail. 'iEsther Stallman is engaged in missionary work for the Patagonian Relief As-- sociation of which Fritz Schnaiter has just been elected President. Ruel Marshall is Commander in Chief of the armies of the Republic of Ire- land. Speaking of genius, we have all kinds of it. Mayme Cramer has been for ten 'HUICICCII 'DIIIIUIICU UWCIIIQ WRC years the poet laureate of Hedjaz, with Bessie VVestmorland next in line of suc- cession. Martha Masson is author of a long series of text books on Mathematics, edit- ed by John Holden. Our fame in Athletics has lasted. Bournie Ransom won the shot put in the Olympic games in 1940, with a heave of 97 feet. And our all-state center, Maurice Tudor, has just won the world's tiddledy-winks championship over Glen Mont- gomery. Conrad Nash has retired after making a fortune of selling wooden lightning rods, invented by Alonzo Holden. Mary Herold and Katherine Kaltofen are teaching Physics and Chemistry in M. H. S. And, say, while I think of it, Tonnie Balay is principal at old M. II. S. You probably know without me telling you that Helen Edelman and Byron Hill are County Nurse and Deputy County Nurse respectfully. Albert Payne is travelling up and down the country for the Anti-Narcotic League making speeches against the use of the cigarette. Georgia Cramer, Maggie Balay, and Ethel Fisher are Red Cross nurses in Ireland, Madagascar, and Hawaii, respectively. Bobby Burns is an undertaker, and Skeet Butler is the foreman of his corps of grave diggers. Dr. Clarence VVestmorland, M. D. provides constant business for them. Suddenly I interrupted the great scientistys reading by asking, What was that cylindrical object which I saw hanging out of the Window? That was a telescope. I was just observing Venus, the great l'l'lEll1 an- swered. ' A delightful occupation, without doubt,', I remarked, Hbut what was the oc- casion ? Didn't you know that Paul Williams was on a trip to Venus in my new ether- ial aeroplane ? Paul always did love the ladies, anyhow. Continue, I observed. Bess Caldwell and Gayle Brown are confirmed old maids and have either a cat and a parrot each. ' Curses! How tempus do fugit! I remarked. Well, lets see. I believe that's all that I've looked up. Now, there is Ruth Tomey-H . You don't need to bother to use your horoscope for her. I saw her featured as the principal Vamp in Edith Shipley's latest problem play, Six Wives at Cne Time or Where Was the Seventh. john Musgrave was her leading man. He had nothing to do except to be vamped. That was Tuesday night. Tuesday night, you say? Why I went to see Earl Knoy in Hamlet that night. Paul Whitsell played the part of Ophelia. Say, but that was a wonderful performance. And the music too, Elizabeth Johnson's orchestra played. Blanche McClure performed on the trombone and Mable Russell played a ukelele solo. Speaking of musical talent, have you ever heard the famous bury-tone, Horace Lewellyn? And his accompanist Barbara Casady? By the way, where are the Svectroscope Marie Brown and Doris Shireman P Don't ask me, answered Prof. Mason. Ask the secretaries of the classes of '22 and ,2O. Let's see, who's next on the list? Helen Rinker the new Senator from Indiana! You can see her picture in the newspapers there on the table. It's a photograph of a portrait painted by Earl Hopson, the noted artist. Did you hear the speech I-Ielen's campaign manager Bernice Burns made the day before the election? They say it was that speech that defeated her op- ponent Glessie Bailey. By the way, I asked, could you focus the machine on some of the teachers at M. H. S. in the days of '2o-'2I? I would like to see what has happened to some of them. I'll try, said Redfield and he cut out the picture of a former member of the faculty and placed it in the horoscope. I put my eye to the eyepiece. The screen was dark. Have you turned on the power? I asked. The scientist shook his whiskers in the affirmative and I looked again. I thought I could detect the beginning of a faint glow on the screen. The picture must have a long and difficult route to travel, I commented. The glow increased in brightness a.nd became a shifting undulating mass of red. I could detect points of division in the red, and soon was able to distinguish flames. The red flames grew brighter and brighter. A pitchfork flashed across the screen-a pair of horns-suddenly the glare of the red became blinding. Crash, Bang, Boom! The horoscope Flew into a million pieces. The next thing I knew I was peace- fully surveying the wonders of the heavens on top of the skyscraper across the street. Far above I could see Redfield on a direct route to Mars. All To The Faculty Think not of us with bitter thoughts, Rejoice that we now leave, Some pleasure from the memories Of us you may receive. Our hearts are with the future now, Our goal far off we see, But ever there'll be midst pleasant thoughts Our dear old Faculty.

Tlsltneteen 1b1m0reb Uwentp Mme l IN THE KITCHEN CLASS HISTCRY Ry llernice Ilurns l feel myself the recipient of an unutterable honor in being asked to furnish fl retrospect of the past years, because retrospection requires no very great exertion: indeed, any weak minded Wight needs no talent to review a series of events espec- ially if he has had the pleasure of first viewing them. Now for one placed in my position a collection of old Red and lilues would be of great help, but as this is the first year of its publication it cannot contribute to my task but l can only hope that it will continue so as to help future class his- torians. Let's look at the class of 'ZI in its infant years. VVe look back now and smile at the consequences which were then of so much importance but which now seem ridiculous by their very smallness. XYith what high hopes and ambitions we emerged from beneath the protecting wings of the grade teachers, indeed, we considered ourselves able to accomplish almost anything in the educational line. lint alas! our air castles were short lived and have now sunk into oblivion. ,Xs is the general rule our class in the Freshman year was large. 96 being en- rolledg but our number has gradually decreased until now there are only 4Q who aspire to leave the high school regions forever. After the first shyness had worn off we decided as was the custom of our an- cestors to hold a council and band ourselves into a nation. The first class meeting was a thing to be long remembered: how we parleyed over class officers, class flowers, class colors, etc.g how momentous the occasion the 5136092056006 really appeared to all of us. After much discussion and delay the following officers were elected, Presi- dent, Charles Bain, Vice-President, Albert Payne, Secretary Treasurer, Bessie Cald- well. After having learned the declension of amo and could find the value of X a reasonable number of times correctly, we were thought to have received sufficient knowledge to-enable us to be classed as Sophomores. We came off the Freshman field minus quite a number of our companions who had fallen by the wayside somewhere between the declension of femina and the conjugation of capio. We held our usual Scottish Rites and as a result Albert Payne was elected president, Mayme Cramer, Vice-President, and Royston Watson, Secretary Treas- urer. This year our Principal, A. G. Morris, resigned and the Science teacher, A. B. Leible, took the position, the armistice was signed, and a great epidemic of influ- enza broke out, causing the school to close for many weeks, much to the delight of the whole student body. The third year of our course we entered the cooking establishment of what is commonly known as the Chemical Laboratory, from which direful explosions broke forth, that shook the whole building. Oh! those burned fingers and ruined garments and the odors of those awful compounds. The only redeeming feature was the fact that we could look forward to the next year when we could smile at the juniors and lo! that time has come. Our staff of officers that year served us well, it consisted of President, Red- field Mason, Vice-President Martha Masson, and Secretary Treasurer, Mayme Cramer. During this year we gave a play entitled Dust in the Eyes. Everyone present pronounced it a success. This year we also with great dignity and much planning and talking gave a reception for the Seniors in the gymnasium. At the beginning of the fourth year we were all impressed, I think, with a degree of dignity, but this soon wore off and we became as giggly as ever. After the annual election had been held Hobart Paul was President, Albert Payne, Vice-President, and Mayme Cramer, Secretary Treasurer. One feature of the Senior year was the trip to the State Legislature. This we gained by the kind intercession of Mr Silsby, who also accompanied us. The trip was of great benefit to all of us and we gained ideas of this assembly which we never could have gained from books. Now our school life is drawing to a close and soon each one of us will be fol- lowing out his or her plans for the future. W'e will never meet again upon the same old footing, but as the years go by our days spent in M. H. S. will always be a dear remembrance to us. In our busy school life we have not had time to realize the genuine worth of members of the faculty both old and new, who have helped us not only to learn facts but have also helped our class along in a social way. The class owes them a debt which they can never repay. Thus ends the retrospect of the class of IQZI. -K 'HUICICCII 'DIUIDYCU UWCIITQ WRC CALENDAR By Gayle Brown Monday 6-Freshmen! Freshmen!

He thought he might go to the movies but didn't have the Hart. He walked several hours and became tired. He sat down on some- one's lawn and soon a brick hit him that weighed at least a Single-ton. He started to run When G. he was stopped by a young lady who looked pretty as a Rose. She asked where Miss Volland was, which he kindly told her. Then tired and worn out, he went home to his little Cook. And upon en-- tering the house he met her. She asked him to take her a ride in the new car which burns the Gas-away.
