l 'r GLENN CURTIS Success has marked the first year for Glenn M. Curtis as principal of Martinsville High School. As basketball coach and physical education director in the Martinsville schools, Mr. Curtis was probably the most universally beloved of any teacher in the whole school system. He has had the happy faculty of retaining that love and admiration when he took up the more trying duties of chief executive of the high school. Disciplining has been necessary in many cases, but the famous Curtis smile can sugar coat the bitterest pill without reducing the effectiveness of the punishment. Mr. Curtis is a native of Morgan County, and prior to the war was coach at Lebanon. lle came to Martinsville in 1919 from Rushville. As mentor of the basketball team he has given Martinsville an enviable reputation in the sport world. He has retained his duties as coach and assumed in addition those of principal of the high school. Students and teachers alike feel that in Mr. Curtis they have a real friend. - .Hr D EE CRAM ER Dee Cramer has been installed as an assistant in the principal's office since the first of this year. The initials D. V. C. have become quite famous on yellow slips. Her smile and dimples make even an assignment to the tenth period easier. Dee was graduated from Martinsville High School in 1929. .

r l l 1 M. S. MAHAN For nine years the schools of Martinsville have prohted by the wise guidance and watchful supervision of M. S. Mahan, city school superintend- ent. He has seen the high school grow from an enrollment of 313 in his lirst year to 733 for the year 1929-30. As the enrollment increased need for more room arose. This was met by the addition of the junior High building and the new gymnasium. Seeing the needof making school life more attractive to all kinds of students, Mr. Mahan has been inliuential in bringing about the addition of new departments, as manual training, vocational agriculture and home economics. Likewise he has lent his inlluence in increasing and enlarging the scope of other departments. . A new library was opened two years ago, and this year for the first time a full time librarian has been employed. Each year several hundred dollars worth of books are added to the library.. l.OlS HOWELL Lois llowell has served as secretary to the super- intendent of the city schools for two years. She was graduated from Martinsville High School in the class of 1928. Lois was always sure of a smile from the teachers, especially when she delivered the monthly pay check. Fifteen V
