Martinsville High School - Artesian Yearbook (Martinsville, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 106 of the 1923 volume:

FOREWORD The staff has prepared this book to record the life of onr school for the 1922-23 school year in the best and most permanent form. We feel that this has been the greatest school year to date and have worked hard to make this book reflect it. We know that this book is far from perfect but hope that its good attributes will contribute to the building of the Greater Martinsville High School that we see in the future.

When you leave these halls and class rooms on Commencement night you will be leav¬ ing forever. Some time some one with your name, your features and your iden¬ tical appearance may return, but it will not be you; nor will these corridors or class rooms ever seem the same to you again. After a fashion you have acquired a high school education; some better than others it is true, but all in somewhat similar manner. Remember, however, that you have no master key, no “Open Sesame” to the doors of the world. School is not a preparation for life ; it is life itself. School habits, school im¬ pressions, are yours and lasting but you are not educated. You may have glean¬ ed thousands of facts, but you are not educated. Education, as our greatest American educator has said, lies in the ability to perform something you do not want to do, at the time it should be done, and to do it efficiently. There is the test, and that ability is acquired only by hard work. It took as much labor to paint the world’s greatest picture as it did to build the pyramids of Egypt. There is no royal road to knowledge. Arthur B. Leible April ’23. “I wish to make a few announcements- ■AH.S. —and Faculty CAROL HAGANS Chemistry, General Science, Algebra, Physics.

We had to “Tack-it” on to make it complete CLASS I, the class of 1923 realize that I must die shortly and that I should make pro¬ vision for the distribution of the many possessions that I must leave behind me. My object in this distribution is to leave to the deserving those things that can be of most use to them.

I leave all the class rooms, assemblies and corridors to whomever the principal may designate.

The hopes for next year. A.HS. L ■ Junior Class Three years ago we sallied forth upon our high school career, a class dedicated to the proposition that school should be first, class second and self last. We have engaged in inter-class activities with a great deal of zeal but with no more spirit and determination than we have entered into school activities. Eight of our number gave all they had to winning honor for their school in basketball (Brown, Schnaiter, AVright, Hine, St. Clair, Warthen, Messmer and Cox). Later in the year we took an active part in forensics, coming .forward with four for the debating teams (Jenkins, Drake, Simms and Tilford). When the call came for track, again the Juniors responded loyally and four of our number (Rowland, Schnaiter, Sawyer and Miller) are doing their best to bring our school forward in track as she has been brought forward in basketball. JUNIOR CLASS WILL The Junior class, the class of ’24, leaves to its successor, the class of ’25, its ability to win points on the loyalty cup for it has been demonstrated that it needs it. To this class it leaves the thrill that it has experienced during its first time as an UPPERclassman. “Well I’ll be switched’’ said the train as it went on a siding. o 1 AHS M.H.S.

Early in the year they elected the following class offiicers: President . Chas. DeTurk Vice-President . Vera Stern Secretary-Treasurer . P ernice Brown Red and Blue Representative. Grace Rose Grace Rose and Charles DeTurk were elected to the student council from the class of ’25. The class was thinned out slightly from last year but there are still nearly a hundred students. A good deal of interest was taken in interclass contests by the class but during the early part of the year it didn’t seem to get them any place. Then later in the year they came back strong. We will our inability to get started early in the cup race to the class of ’24. We will our love for Ceaser to the second year latin class of next year. We leave all of the rest of our “ungood” points to the incoming freshmen class. Also we will give all our good points to the class of ’25 in its junior year. A little failing now and then makes us take Caesar over again. jSOk poa M.H.S. So At S ' tcp oe - ! 8 N RUrW c -Row f AVNJ.C. Pue-X Freshman Class Colors: Red and Green.

This is due in part to the consolidation of the schools of the township. We are glad for this for M. H. S. will he able to enjoy the benefits of a large school . GRADES For three six weeks terms this class has had the average of grade—a record to be pround of. There are several exceptional¬ ly good students in this class. BASKETBALL The freshmen boys’ team won second place in the interclass basketball tournament, and were defeated by the Seniors by only one point. They will probably win first if they have as good a team in the three years to come. SOCIETY There has been but one class party this year. It was at the high school in December. CLASS WILL To our successors we gladly leave that bliss that comes from ignorance. Enjoy it while you can. the-fresh-men-prim-er. A few of the unfrosted persimmons. ACTIVITIES BASKETBALL TRACK —CLUBS —DRAMA We crave action. FOREWORD It has long been recognized that edu¬ cation is by no means entirely depend¬ ent on the knowledge obtained from books. Much, probably the greater part of it, is an outgrowth of the interrela¬ tionship of society, and of the individuals self expression. In accordance with this, the high school has sponsored those stu¬ dent activities, which it believes gives the student the best opportunity to broaden their personalities. Yea! Martinsville.

It receives most attention in the spring after the basketball season. Although members of M. H. S. track teams are not holding any state records, high class track men have represented our school. The accompanying picture shows Ray Curtis, an all-around track man, and Wayne Cramer taking the high hurdles. These men have placed in some very important track meets in this event. The other picture shows Wayne Cramer clearing the bar in good form in his main event, the high jump. The man that holds the state record for the high jump beat Cramer by a short distance when he established it. Another track man of note that has represented our school in track is Jesse ddaase, who has since become captain of the De- Pauw track team. Track does not rank as high as basketball but is very impor¬ tant and M. H. S. hopes to produce men that will break the state records. Caught in the act. This kind preferred. STUDENT COUNCIL The Martinsville High School has tak¬ en a big step toward a better school by putting into operation a form of student government, the student council. It is composed of two representatives of each class, the presidents of the two upper classes and the principal. This body has power in all interclass affairs. It determines what interclass contests will be held and the rules that govern them. It acts in regard to affairs that affect the entire student body, such as traffic regulations, stealing of books, etc. It has not been especially active be¬ cause of its newness and inexperience. It promises to be of greater usefullness in the future as a means by which the stud¬ ents may make the regulations that gov¬ ern themselves. This will make the school more democratic and should increase school spirit and pride. The members of the 1922-1923 council is as follows: ‘23—Robert Humphreys, President. ’23—Thelma Pline. ’23—Frank Francesconi. ’24—Josephine Overton. ’24—Margaret Jenkins. ’24—Stanley Sims. ’25—Grace, Rose, Secretary. ’25—Charles DeTurk. ’26—Harriet Stegner. ’26—Gene Kelly.

S. decided to organize a society whose chief purpose was to help our school and city. The Creed is as follows: “With love in my heart, forgetting self, and with charity for all, I will make the object of my life, helpfulness and kind¬ ness to others. I shall try to fit myself to give intelligent service in making the community in which I live a safer and more beautiful place for little children. Thus will my own life become rich and complete.” The colors are white and gold which represents purity and sunshine. Officers President— Mary Kinneman. Vice-President—Louise Sargent.

GR OU?I grout i LATIN CLUB Among the several organizations es¬ tablished in recent years in the Martins¬ ville high school, is the Latin Club founded by the two Latin instructresses, Misses Katherine Burton and Lillian Hart. It is the first of its kind in the history of Martinsville schools, being or¬ ganized for the purpose of promoting a greater and deeper interest in the lan¬ guage, and of giving a more thorough knowledge of its characters. The first meeting was held on the night of October 26, 1922 at seven o’clock in the high school auditorium. One hun¬ dred and forty members answered the roll called. The first hour was devoted to the election of officers. Dorothy Rud- icel received the presidency; Robert Cramer was elected for vice-president; Warren Schnaiter, secretary-treasurer; and Beulah Hopson, “Red and Blue” cor¬ respondent. The second hour was en¬ joyed socially with games and songs. These precedents were established as the general routine for all future meetings, the first hour being given over to bus¬ iness matters and the promotion of the ideals stated above, and the second hour being used socially. The Latin Club has proven to be a suc¬ cess in every way. Each of the three classes represented. Freshman, Caesar and Cicero, have given a program at sometime and on every occasion the classes have competed to make their en¬ tertainment a greater success. Its worth 2%. M.H.S.

ROTAC CLUB Among’ those clubs which were organized this year is the Rotac which was finally established through the hard work and earnest efforts of those students who were theatrically inclined. The biggest problem was to find a sponsor, but at last Miss Stevens and Mr. Leible came to the rescue by agreeing to pilot it through all the storms and hardships of young clubhood. Consequently, a constitution was drawn up in which it was provided that the members should be restricted to the Juniors and Seniors who make an average of eighty-five or above in their studies. After due deliberation the constitution was adopt¬ ed, then the question of the name was brought up. After much discussion, pro and con, Rotac was decided upon, the meaning of which is a secret. The election was as follows: James Branch, President. Esther Tilford, Vice President. Madell Parker, Secretary Treasurer. On account of the late start it was impossible to do much this year toward the production of plays but next year great things are expected of it. CHESS CLUB The Chess Club has existed for two years and has done much to further in¬ terest in that wonderful old game, chess. It was formed by members of the Science Club that were interested in chess. Robert Humphreys has served as its president both years. The membership and the number of meetings have de¬ creased during the last year because of the many other organizations that have claimed the time of the members. A chess tournament was held this spring. This was a city tourney. Sev¬ eral members of the Chess Club entered this and its president, Robert Hum¬ phreys, won. RADIO CLUB The Radio Club was founded in the fall of 1922 to give the radio fans of the high school a place to meet and discuss the problems they must solve. Mr. Hochstetler has been very active and it was largely through his efforts that the club was formed. Since there are so many in the high school that are, and will continue to be, interested in this subject in which there is so much to be learned, this club should grow and prosper. “All the world’s a stage”—and we poor hies the players Affirmative Team—Robt. Rose, Capt., Stanley Sims, Robt. Humphreys. Negative Team—Margaret Jenkins, Lawrence Drake, Capt., Esther Tilford. DEBATING On the afternoon of February 15, the M. H. S. affirmative team lost to the Franklin negative team at Franklin 3-0. The question debated was, “Resolved— That Arbitration as a Means of Settling Industrial Disputes Should be Made Compulsory.” At 8 P. M. in the Martinsville H. S. Auditorium the negative team lost to the Franklin affirmative team 2-1. INTERCLASS DEBATE In the first round of the Interelass de¬ bates held Tuesday, May 1, after school, the Senior team composed of Forest Wakeman, Robt.Humphreys and Warren Woodward, lost to the Junior Team com¬ posed of Lawrence Drake, Esther Tilford and William Rowland. At the same time the Freshman team, Arthur Fletcher. Dick Williams and Gene Kelley, lost to the Sophomore team, Chas. DeTurk, Vic¬ toria Taggart and Henry Rossier. Both decisions were unanimous. The question debated was, “Resolved Thai the U. S. Should Enter a World Court oi Nations.” The final debate was held the following morning in General Assembly. The ques¬ tion debated on was, “Resolved, That the United States Should Participate Active ly in the Settlement of European Prob¬ lems,” The judges, Miss Hart, Miss Hagans and Mr. Calvin were unanani- mous in their decision which favored the Juniors. There is no use arguing for they’ve settled it.

The Red and Blue has been for the last three years the official organ of speech for M. H.S., the publication having been resumed in the year ’2o-’2i after a lapse of several years. During the first year it was largely under the control of the seniors, but in the second year it was de¬ cided to have an executive board of con¬ trol consisting of four members, one elected from each class. This board then chooses the rest of the stafif. This year two improvements were made: The paper was published bi-week¬ ly instead of monthly and the quality of paper was improved to the satisfaction of the students in general. The “hit of the season this year was the “Yellow Issue printed on yellow pa¬ per with all the frills of yellow journal¬ ism.

Science Club is among the most successful clubs of its kind of the schools of the state. It has enjoyed five years of healthly existence offering extra credit for attendance or work in the club. Other schools have found it necessary to make special inducements to keep such a club going. This organization has done much to further interest and knowledge in fields of science that are not included in the regular curriculum or program of the students. It has purchased a celestial telescope that magnifies ninety diameters. This has been used some and adds much to the members’ knowledge of astronomy. ' Phe attendance has usually been larger than the picture indi¬ cates. The bonafide members only are included in the picture. Several students who have made a good record in science since they have graduated have been members of this club. The officers for the 1922-23 school year were: Robert Humphreys, President. Robert Rose, Vice President. Grace Rose, Secretary. James Branch, Chairman of Program Committee. We maintain that Chemistry should be spelled Che-mystery. KH.S. HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The high school orchestra has come to be a necessity in M. H. S. It has had an increasing number of invitations and of¬ fers each year and the students expect it to play at all the programs. It has likewise grown in the number of members and instruments. The growth of our school is expressed in this organization as in practically all of them. The members of the orchestra for the past year were: Piano Thelma Hine Violin Forest Wakeman Louis DeTurk Wilma Moore Flute Collins Mannan Cornet Robert Hughes Saxophone Georgia Russell Catherine Russell Valve Trombone Harold Rankin Slide Trombone Robert Rose Drums Robert Humphreys — and they call it music. SENIOR JAZZ ORCHESTRA The class of 1923 was the first to have a class jazz orchestra. It was first used when the members were juniors for the enter¬ tainment on Senior Day. It was very successful. This year it was used for the Senior class play. The members were: Helen Henson, pianist in 1922; Mary E. Kennedy, ' 25 in 1923; Forest Wakeman, violinist; Georgia Rus¬ sell, saxaphonist; Robert Rose, trombonist; Robert Humphreys, drums. It has played music that is very popular with high school stud¬ ents which they would not get to hear in any other branch of music in school.

The cast which was selected by Misses Rose and Stevens and Mr. Leible was as fol¬ lows : Mrs. Barrington . Mary. Williams Richard Barrington, her son . . Frank Francesconi Watts, the butler . Louis DeTurk Michael, the chauffeur . . . Robt. Cramer Foster, the gardener . Frank Bain Bishop Carton . . . Richard Cunningham Peggy Carton, his wife.Truth Wakeman Rev. James Schoolev . . Warren Woodward “Honor Bright,” a book agent. . Alary Kinneman Tot Marvel, a chorus girl. . Aladell Parker Alaggie, the cook . Naomi Alason Bill Drum . Raymond Pence Annie, the maid . Thelma Hine Simpson . Basil Way Jones . Robt. Cramer Policemen The setting of the play was at the summer home of the Barrington’s. Richard’s fiancee, who was a chorus girl, had been invited to the Barrington home but none of the family had met her. Finally a telegram came saying that she had taken a horseback ride with Gen. George Washington and would be delayed. A book agent dropped in and Richard persuaded her to play the part of his fiancee, by buying a set ot her books. At last the real fiancee ar¬ rived and was disgusted at finding how Richard had treated her, and after caus¬ ing much disturbance, for Honor and Richard, she decided she didn’t want Richard at all, but Bill D rum, the press agent of “Swat It Up.” Bill was sent for and Tot left with him. Richard then persuaded Honor to stay with him, which ended the story with “a lovers quarrel happily settled.” The play was a great success, due to the members of the cast and the coach, Miss Rose. The music also, which was furnished by the Senior Jazz Orchestra, helped to make the play a success. The members of the orchestra are: Forest Wakeman, Robert Rose, Robert Humphreys, Geor¬ gia Russell and Mary Eloise Kennedv ’25. For the Annual’s Sake. KH.S. ' 25 . JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The Juniors renewed an old custom this year when they staged “All On Ac¬ count of Polly,” their class play. The play proved quite a success, and was popular greatly because of superior acting and because of the moral in the plot. “Polly Perkins,” a young and unso¬ phisticated girl from a small town, came to live with her guardian, “Ralph Bever- ly,” and his family. Her winsome nature soon transformed every one who came into contact with her, a!nd “Polly’s” in¬ fluence re-created the Beverly household into a really enjoyable abode. Miss Rose Singleton was the coach for the production. Cast Ralph Beverly .James Branch Baldwin Beverly . Gilbert Hooten Peter Hartleigh . Byron Howell Silas Young . Lawrence Drake Harkins .

Pauline Cramer —Josephine Overton For the Junior Prom OPERETTA On the evening of April 27, the music department of the high school, presented “The Bells of Beaujolais,” an operetta in two acts, at the high school auditorium. The production, requiring as it did much time and work in training the choruses, as well as those taking the leading part, reflected nothing but the highest com¬ mendation for the work of the director, Miss Eva Donager. The story opens at the arrival of an American yachting party, upon the scene of a Norman spring festival. The Duke of Beaujolais arranges a garden party for the Americans. John Bender, host of the American party is accompanied bv his sister, Aunt Sarah, who chaperones Phyllis, Belle, Larry and Tony. Larry and Tony find two very attractive village girls, Yvonne and Susette, John Bender captivates the Countess, and the Duke falls in love with Aunt Sarah. The gar¬ den party being a masquerade, affords opportunity for the exchange of cos¬ tumes, among the Norman and Ameri¬ can girls. Naturally, the situation be¬ comes quite complicated but in the end “all live happily ever after.” THE CAST Augustus—Duke of Beaujolais .... .Frank Francesconi Bender—Wealthy American . ...

Stephenson. “Light” not “Grand.” THE COUNTY FAIR One of the greatest successes of the school year dramatically and financially speaking was the County Fair, given the night of Friday, Nov. ioth. An enter¬ tainment was furnished by each of the four classes who produced an act or stunt of their own composition. The Freshmen, though having been in school only a couple of months, seemed soon to have learned the peculiarities of the fac¬ ility, for in their “Parody on a Teachers Meeting” at which all the faculty was represented, they certainly acted their parts well. Quite naturally Mr. Eeible made “a few announcements.” A very good vaudeville show was giv¬ en by the Sophomores in the lower as¬ sembly, and quite a good deal of talent was displayed. The singing by the Sail¬ or Boys, and the tumbling by “Yank the Yank and “Terrible Tater,” were fea¬ tures as also was a whistling solo. The third act consisted of dances and musical numbers by a chorus of soph girls, who were dressed in the approved chorus girl style (?). The Juniors harked back to ancient times for their material. Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony and Co. held sway in the gym. The plot was quite thickenin g, with murders, bloody battles, and volum¬ inous orations, but all was unraveled, in¬ cluding the togas of several of the citi¬ zens and Roman warriors. There were several things, including the stage craft, lighting effect, and manner of relieving the stage of corpses during an act which were quite commendable, and should be suggested to Messrs Shubert Co. A one act farce was given by the sen¬ iors in the auditorium. It was entitled, “A Soft Black Overcoat” and it was quite surprising how much trouble two young couples could have over such a small thing; what with letters, pictures and little love tokens found in the wrong pocket, two divorces almost occurred, but things righted themselves at last and they lived scrappily ever after. The gayly decorated booths in the lower corridor gave quite a festive at¬ mosphere to the occasion and added the air of a real County Fair. Each class was represented by a ticket seller and a leather lunged announcer. After all was said and done, and the gate receipts counted, the County Fair was proclaimed by one and all to be a huge success. GOOD ENGLISH PROGRAMS The English Department observed “Good English Week,” by presenting in general assembly two short plays. One was written and produced by the Senior English Class: “The Funeral of ‘Bad English.’ ” It was a fitting tribute to the close friend of the many, who came to mourn, and his passing away will long be remembered. The second play, “Never-the-less,” by Stuart Walker, was directed by Miss Singleton. The three members of the cast were, Grace Rose, Charles DeTurk, and Clarence Poling, all Sophomores. The play is very clever—dealing with the trials of two children, whose mother in¬ sists that they speak correctly, and was so well liked that it was repeated for the Parent-Teacher Association. Who says Bad English is dead? MORGAN COUNTY CENTENNIAL The Morgan County Centennial celebration was held October 12 and 13, 1923 and was from every point of view a great suc¬ cess. The chief attractions on Thursday were the basket dinner in the Court House yard, the News Boys’ Band and the Old Fiddlers’ Contest. Then in the evening, Tiny Phelps’ School, Dancing and a Singin’ Skule offered entertainment for the crowd. The crowning success of the whole celebration, however, was the parade on the following afternoon. First came the Indians, decked in all their paint and feathers, then the hunters and trap¬ pers, then the surveyors followed by the hardy pioneers. The next to appear were Miss Indiana, accompanied by the twelve counties admitted in 1821-22 and Miss Morgan County with her fourteen townships. Following these came floats, many of which were unusually clever, depicting pioneer life. Then came Miss Columbia followed by the veterans of the Civil, Spanish and World Wars. Then last, but not least, came floats beautifully decorated by the different societies. The parade alone was worth coming miles to see, to say noth¬ ing of the rest of the entertainment, while all the shop windows were attractive with various relics of the old pioneer days. Altogether the celebration was a wonderful success and will be long remembered by those who witnessed it. The picture of the huge cake baked in honor of the occasion, together with the pictures of the high school students taking part in the various activities are on the opposite page. 1822—1922 Ba Kci -Twjj ( Piorneeri ?

Hannibal was the individual star of the day. The first half began with a whirlwind of action. Bain came out with a big seven and chose the middle goal. Jarrell fouled and Brown stepped to the line and sunk a three bagger, at this a loud cheer arose and Wright drove a smoking backhand along the edge of the green jumping Mr. Lieble’s king in the double corner. Moses punted for the finish but mis- moved and was wrecked on a reef. Attila at this began to steam up and came gal¬ loping around death curve far ahead of the other 220’rs. Schnaiter missed a 40 foot flying tackle by millimeters and Otey Walker broke the tape as the whis¬ tle sounded the end of the first frame. Score, Princton, 68, Morvich 67.9999. The Mahalasvillers trotted out at the beginning of the next set with a look of determination on their feet. Caesar swung a vicious haymaker and H. G. Wells staggered against the ropes. A mashie slash put Jiggs on the green with an easy put for a par five. At this point the sacks were congested. Aristotle be¬ gan to pitch air tight ball allowing only 63 hits for a total of 94 runs. The wiz¬ ard of bat-dom advanced to the plate and slugged a tremendous homer which tore the home plate loose from its moorings. With a mighty leap Shylock leaped upon Macbeth and with a quick half nelson wrested the puck from him and sent it simmering toward the enemy ' s goal posts. The other Schnaiter now advanc¬ ed to the foul line, carefully poising his cue he called the ten ball, three cushions in the corner. In vain Socrates tried to stop it,. He crowded over the handle bars and peddled like mad.

Honor thy faculty, for though they be fossils, they hand forth the grades. 4. Remember thy examinations and choose thy seat mates accordingly. 5. Thou shalt keep thy oil pure and undefiled, sweet smelling as attar of roses, yet powerful as home brew. 6. Thou shalt not bluff in class o’er much, lest thy teachers find thee out. 7. Thou shalt remember to laugh ever at the jokes of thy teachers, though they have long since grown beards, and voted and raised children. 8. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors grades, but go thou and borrow some learned friend’s notes. 9. Listen intently to the words of wisdom falling as pearls from the mouths of thy teachers, sleeping no more than nature demandeth. 10. And above all: Never let thv studies interfere with thy education—tis for that thy fond papa sends thee hence to this fount of culture at the cost of many a good dollar and thin dime.

He was caught imjiu-dinily. however, and after an examination, physicians said his actions had been due to men¬ tal condition. Mrs. Hochstetler became aware of her husband ' s faithlessness two days ago at the close of school. Failing to find him at the school building, she made inquiries and learned that he had been seen to enter his Buick Coupe and drive off. Upon leaning this. Mrs Hochstetler appeared greatly ' agitated and exclaimed. What does ibis mean—making me walk home like this? A search was started and Hocli- stettler was found at the home of Claud Shipley, on East Columbeus Street, where the couple have been rooming, and taken before the prop¬ er authorities. An examination was made by ' physicians who, after con- sulntion, issued a statement to the effect that Hoehstetlec’s disertion was caused by a peculiar affliction of the brain called forgetfulness, that is inherent in most men. He was only married last ' fall which probably ac¬ counts for it.

GIMLET MEDAL FOR FAMOUS SOLUTION OF BAKING POWDER PROBLEM COPENHAGEN. April 1. (By As¬ sassinated Press)—Professors in the University of Denmark announced today that the 1923 Gimlet Prize in Chemistry would be conferred upon Miss Grace Rose, a rising young chemist of Martinsville, Indiana, for her epoch-making discovery of a new baking-powder, which is guaranteed to make anything, even airplanes rise. Instead of using cream of tartar in her bakingpowder, Miss Rose con¬ ceived the happy idea of using argol. which is cholcolate-brown in color, hence obtaining a powder which not only can b e used in aerating bread, but also comes in nicely for chocolate icing, fudge, cocoa, and so on. Miss Rose is now working with woolen cloth in the anticipation that her powder can be used as a dye in ob¬ taining the fashionable seal-brown which is all the vogue this winter in Senegambia and Ethiopia.. When interviewed by our special correspondent. Miss Rose was very enthusiastic over her discovery. “Never again.” she stated, ‘‘will ihe house wife put up with ordinary white baking-powder. The lovely color of my brand appeals to the aesthetic sense. Moreover, it will not show dirt, and mixed with lin¬ seed oil, makes a delightful varnish.” “Cooks who use my make will never use any other,” declared Miss Rose, in conclusion. “Thos e who have oat¬ en of cake baked with my now-fam¬ ous product have never been able to express their joy at the mavelous sensations.” Mrs. Jones, of Muncle, even wrote to Miss- Rose, tnting that she had found the new bakingpowder invalu¬ able as a cui-e for the “flu.” “My son, John, had a very bad cough.” wrote Mrs. Jones, “but am glad to state that .after using only one can of your baking-powder, he never coughed again.” The only obstacle to the success of the new commercial venture was a financial one, declared Miss Rose. However, at a late hour yesterday ev¬ ening she informed our reporter that although the baking-powder process was very inexpensive she thought she could Taise th e dough. mar ' s cigaretts.

GRAND OPERA IS POSTPONED NATION SHOCKED BY FIRST RE¬ PORT—GLADDENED BY SECOND Miss Donagher Explains To President Harding (By The Assimilated Press) NEW YORK CITY. April. 13— The nation suffered a severe shock last Wednesday by the report that the Grand Opera, to be given at Martins¬ ville, Indiana, on Friday April. 13, under the auspices of 4he distinguish¬ ed Miss Eva Donagher, had been cancelled. It was reported later, however, that this was a false re¬ port and that the Grand Opera had only been postponed for a week—the long waited for entertainment to be given April 20. The nation as a whole was glad¬ dened when the ' second report was verified this morning, and again the cry is heard on every corner, “On to the Grand Opera.” Radiogram From President President Harding, as §oon as he heard the ' report that was broadcast¬ ed Wednesday, sent a radiogram to ascertain the true facts about . the gossip th. . he had ' heard among the rabble. The president said that he received a severe shock on hearing the report, but it is thought that after an en¬ gaging, conversation with Miss Don¬ agher. together with the second re¬ port. that he wiJl recover. Miss Donagher Gives Reasons Miss Donagher this morning con¬ fidentially stated to our young staff correspondent the reasons for post¬ poning the Grand Opera. (It must he stated that at the time Miss Don¬ agher did not know he was such) Miss Donaglier’s explanation is as follows. ”A few months ago I picked the second Friday in April ns the best time to present my Grand Opera, be cause I thought that the time would he just right. I made all my plan9 for this date, even with Mr. P-.” It will be noticed that. Miss Don¬ agher has .in all-round way of tell¬ ing things, but since our interviews with distinguished people are rare, we consider it a great honor to pub¬ lish her complete conversation. “But there are two things that I failed to consider. continued Miss Donagher. One of these was to in¬ terview the calendar and the‘‘other was to save that old rusty horse shoe th.i; l found hanging on my Baby Gr.ijjd the other day.

The reader is warned beforehand that in most articles exactly the opposite is meant and in the rest the details are greatly magnified although an hon¬ est effort was made to preserve at least a germ of truth in them The cry has recently arisen for a “Yellow Issue” such as we had last year, and in view of the fact that the paper would he the thirteenth num¬ ber and published on Friday 13. it was decided to make this the desired “Yellow Issue.

In thinking over the things that M. IT. S,. does not have, a speedway comes into my mind. Why doesn’t M. H. S have a speedway so that everyone from A. B.

Now as we have no speedway the nearest thing we have to it is the driveway ’in front of the High School building.

Each faculty member has made a special effort to teach his classes the proper and es¬ sential points that manners .and con¬ duct require. To be a polished lady or gentleman you must be able to throw paper wads straight, hitting the object at which you aim The Art Classes have been very crowded this year with students de¬ siring to learn the art of tearing pa¬ per in very fine pieces to throw over the assembly floor. Teachers have been urging each member of the student body to take ( UNPRKIW RED LESSONS Unprepared lessons are the unes¬ sential thing in school. It is a long step toward geting an education. Hard studying is no aid whatsoever toward an education. It not only af- ft (ts the minds of the pupils, but takes ui) nuirh of their time which could be used for other things. The teachers require that all stud¬ ents of the school never come to class with a prepared lesson; they are supposed to get their lessons after¬ wards. This is an advantage for several reasons, first it gives the teacher a better chance to estimate the pupil§ grade. Zeros you know make up a hundred, and a hundred is the high¬ est. grade you can receive, so in this case one is more apt to get as much as he deserves. Another thing, when lessens are well prepared, the class has a better advantage of fully dis¬ cussing the lesson in less than a period ' s time, as they do not have to stop and correct so many things that, are wrong. Remember that unprepared lessons go to make an education, and every¬ one should be expected to go to class with his lesons unprepared, not only for his benefit but for the convenien¬ ces of the teachers.

It is considered one of the greatest points in good manners in the class¬ rooms of Martinsville High School, when something has escaped from your memory and the teacher is un¬ able to see your small hand, to speak out in a very shrill voice and tell her what you have orgotten. Students have been taking geom¬ etry and commercial arithmetic in order that they might he ahle to fig¬ ure and to carve beautiful planes and triangles on their desks. The music classes also have been very crowded thi9 year with pupils who were eager to learn how to chew their chewing gum to the rythmn of classical and popular music.

This evil is underminding the the society and civilization of our nation It not only closes its sharp talons about the reckless money flinging class but also about the class which is more poverty-stricken, more penurious. Fortunately this wide spread scourge has confined its ravages chiefly to the males of the race.

Unfortunately, even the cleanest- of our High School boys have “Sold their birthmarks for a mess of Pordrige.” and have surrend¬ ered their inheritance of lovely clean, fluffy, bushy hair to wear a miserably skull cap.

They have worked incessantly to prevent the spread of the dir e disease but have only ac¬ complished this much, hat ill no longer breaks out in the session rooms. The fatality of ma rbleitis lies in the fact that the victim when once stricken has no desire to fr?o him¬ self from its grasp and the friends and medical advisers are left power¬ less. The disease differs from all others in that fresh air and sunshine merely hasten the development of symptoms and the best cure yet discovered is long assignments. involving much hard work which will keep the pat¬ ient from thinking of his weakness.

ROBERT HI MPHREYS TAKES INFAIR ADVANTAGE TO WIN TOl ' RNEY Five students and Grand Inchohee, Arthur Blank Leible, by participat¬ ing in a chess touiney held at the Library next year on Monday. Tues¬ day and Wednesday, have brought the high school to shame. The most reproachabl? act is that one of them, a Senior (?) proceeded to win it. This paper intends to broadcast the names of these wrong doers at When G._ami wife’s Inc. r ad io s ta tion. These five we refer to are no other than Collins Mannan.

The cast selected could not possibly have hi worse. Tlmy presented it in a slow- forget-me-not-way. The cast was very slow aijd inactive. This resulted In several hits with vegetables hurl¬ ed by amatures. Several cut-aways and ice cream pants were ruined. One place in particular was intensly dra¬ matic. It was the very first scene, action centered around the trunk of Miss Marvel. Great applause greeted the actors and the scene was givtn over twelve times. . On the whole the play was rotton, simple, disgusting and nausiating. The play was positively the worst ever given in high school. Late hours and cigarettes had their effect. A Croix-de-Guerre is to be awarded to Bishop Carton for bravery in action. He dodged seven tomatoes, three onions and one brickbat simultan- ously; The French Club met for an extra session at 3:30 Thursday In roam •. This session was to celebrate the death of Sarah Bernhardt one of the worst French actresses in her day. The meeting opened - with a song. “La Marseillaise” It really sounded terrible for in the first place no one could carry the tune and In fact no one knew the French words for it and above all they didn ' t know how to pronounce them. There were two papers gi en by French class, both were on the life of of Sarah Bernhardt” was given by Julia Welsh and Tro professional career of Sarah Bernhardt” given by Thelma Cramer.

The honorable Freshmen were in charge of the pro¬ gram which was extremly good as was testified by the unusual number of eager spectators who crowded the low -r corridors and the auditor¬ ium. • The meeting opened with some very peppy Latin yells. Although they were excellent, the one composed and led by the noted yell leader, Eugene Lockhart, was superbly excellent.

The Martinsville High School plays an important role in the educational development of this community. It is plant that pays priceless dividends of broad knowledge and high citizenship. As education develops it calls for better fac¬ ilities for communication. The telephone, itself the product of many scientific minds, is used most widely where education is most general. No group of citizens are more interested in the city’s improvements than the men and women in the office of the Martinsville Telephone Co. We are proud of our home town and our ambition is to give it the very best tele¬ phone service possible. Martinsville Telephone Company FRED PRESTON, Manager sj%yr s : ' THE UNIVERSAL CAR.
