For this reason we dedicate these two pages to such char- acters as: PAUL VORIES McNUTT was grad- uated from M. H. S. in 1909. He at- tended Indiana and Harvard Universi- ties from which he received A. B. and L. L. B. degrees respectively. His work as assistant professor of law at Indi- ana University was interrupted upon the United States' entrance into the World War. During the war he was retained in this country as an instruc- tor and was promoted to the rank of colonel. His brilliant career led to his appointment as dean of law at In- diana in 1925. Mr. McNutt was elected State Commander of the American Legion in 1926 and National Com- mander in 1928. He attracted the at- tention of the public by his ablekey- note speech at the Democratic State Convention in 1930. During the next two years he demonstrated his elo- quence and power as an orator so ef- fectively that he was nominated by acclamation as Governor of Indiana at the Democratic State Convention in June, 1932, and was triumphantly elected in November of the same year. EMMETT FOREST BRANCH was graduated from this school in 1890. After receiving his diploma from Indi- ana University, he was admitted to the bar in 1899. He was always deeply in- terested in military affairs, and upon the outbreak of the Spanish-American War he was the first in Morgan Coun- ty to offer his services. From 1903 to 1907 he was a member of the State Legislature. In 1916 he was in active service on the Mexican border, and in 1917 he was mustered into service as lieutenant-colonel. In 1920 he was elected Lieutenant-Governor of Indi- ana on the Republican ticket. This position he held until April 30, 1924, when he became Governor upon the resignation of Warren T. McCra.y. He was a very efficient and popular gov- ernor, but at the close of his term he preferred to return to his native city to practice law. Mr. Branch's sincere interest in the welfare of the people won him well merited distinction in the state of Indiana. He died in Mar- tinsville on February 23, 1932. FRANK T. SINGLETON is one of the eldest alumni of our school, hav- ing been a member of the senior class of 1882. He attended DePauw Univer- sity and received a degree of A. B. in 1886. Returning to Martinsville he was editor and publisher of the Re- publican and Reporter for twenty years. He then engaged in banking for several years. In 1924, by appoint- ment of Governor Branch, he became a member of the Public Service Com- mission, a position which he held for eight years. During his membership on the commission he was always alert and forceful in his protection of the rights of the people. He wrote several important decisions, the most important being his order reducing the gas and electric rates in Martins- ville. His order was contested by the Wabash Valley Electric Company, but the United States Supreme Court sus- tained the order of Mr. Singleton, January 9, 1933. Later he helped to organize the National Bank of Mar- tinsville of which he is now vice-presi- dent. JARVIS J. BAIN was graduated from Martinsville High School in 1898. After serving as a private in the Span- ish-American War he entered West Point where he was graduated in 1905. ranking seventh of the fourteen star This page through courtesy of Hubbard Lumber Company H4 students, entitling him to the Engi- neering Corps. During the World War he was appointed colonel of the 309th Regiment of Engineering. His work as an engineer in Cuba, Philippine Is- lands, and the United States won him extensive renown. Mr. Bain has been in charge of many prominent govern- mental engineering projects, among them being the Francis Scott Key Bridge and the Muscle Shoals Dam. At -the present time he is stationed at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, where he is chief of the 2nd division of War Plans in the Command and General Staff School. DOROTHY CUNNINGHAM 'was graduated from this institution in 1894. She attended Madame Blaker's Kinder- garten Training School and taught in Martinsville for seven years. Later she entered the Cunningham Construc- tion Company with her brothers. At the Republican National Convention in 1924, she was elected National Committee-woman for Indiana and was reelected at the conventions of 1928 and 1932. Miss Cunningham has always been engaged in charity and child welfare work. For many years she was secretary and treasurer of the Associated Charities and is now a member of the board of the Indianap- olis Day Nursery and Orphans' Home. PHILIP BLAIR RICE, member of the senior class of 1921. In 1925 he was gradauted from Indiana Univer- sity with the highest scholastic rec- ords known to the history of that in- stitution. He was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship by the University of Ox- ford, England. Returning to the United States he was employed as an editor of the Cincinnati Times Star. In 1930 Mr. Rice was appointed as- sistant professor of philosophy in Cin- By Stanley Terhune cinnati University, which position he now holds. JOHN ROBERT WOODEN was a member of the 1928 class. His color- ful career as an athlete has brought him and his school much credited praise. In 1927 and 28 he was a mem- ber of the Indiana All State Team. He gradauted from Purdue University in 1932 holding the unique record of being an All American three consecu- tive years. Not only has he the dis- tinction of being one of the greatest Hoosier athletes of all time, but he has also attained high scholastic honor. Johnny Wooden is now coach- ing basketball in Dayton, Kentucky. CHARLES D. ROSE was a member of the class of 1879. After graduating from DePauw University he became professor of mathematics in Nebraska Wesleyan University. In 1927 he re- tired as Professor Emeritus of Mathe- rratics. He now resides in Holyoke, Massachusetts. JAMES ELLIOTT BRANCH was graduated with the class of '24, After graduation he attended Purdue Uni- versity. Later, deciding to study ar- chitectural engineering, he transferred to the University of Illinois. After graduation from that institution he worked for the Ulen Construction Co. In 1931 he was offered the position of assistant professor in the architec- tural department of Illinois Univer- sity, which was quite an honor for so young a man. Recently Mr. Branch was awarded the Francis J. Plym Fel- lowship, a scholarship which provides for six months study abroad, of which he is now taking advantage. James is the son of the late Ex-Governor, Emmett F. Branch. It is the wish of the author that the readers of these tributes may not feel offended at any unintentional ommis- sion of other names that may right- fully be entitled to recognition here.

Martha Moore and Billie St. John had a terrible crush on each other? Mary Louise Duncan thought Dale Parker the most ingenious lad in the world because he shaved off his eye- brows? Ruth Myers suddenly lost her love for Bob Mahan because Jimmy Nash said she'd have to soak his feet in hot water when he had a bad cold? Alice Forbes was crazy about Alan Johnston ? Katherine Roberts broke a young man's heart because she absolutely refused to look at him, speak to him, or answer his pleading notes? Jimmy Nash broke a quart can con- taining a pickled snake, spilled the stuff all over him, and nearly suffo- cated the whole biology class? cu ...,,,, Joe Tilford used to sing Rock-a-bye Baby so loud in his newly acquired bass that you could hear him above the whole junior high school? Miss Pearce called Hubert Scott her model boy because he held his should- ers straight for her? Martha Lon Hinkle had red hair? Tracy Hadley used to blow his fog horn of a nose to irritate Miss Hen- ley? Dorothy Hammonds and June Stew- art were dear enemies over Beanie Neal? Miss Doris McDaniel carried Joy Smith around in her arms at recess? Hobart Moore was more than pleas- antly plump?

CURTIS 'P i Mr. Mahan has been superintendent of the Martinsville schools for the past twelve years. Under his guidance the high school has grown from an enroll- ment of 313 to the present enrollment of 798. In order to make school life more interesting to all types of students, Mr. Mahan has brought about the addition of several new departments. Mr. Mahan is an excellent econo- mizer. In these years of financial dis- tress he has safely carried us through. Many students do not realize thc amount of fighting, planning, and scheming which has been necessary to maintain -the high rating of the school. Mr. Mahan has been a real asset to the school system as a whole, and the students of Martinsville High School are greatly indebted to him for many of the scholastic opportunities that are open to them today. This year marks Mr. Curtis's thir- teenth year in the Martinsville schools, and this is his fourth year as principal at M. H. S. During the thir- teen years he has been connected with the schools he has each year success- fully coached a basketball team. In fact, he now has the distinction of being the only coach credited with four Hoosier hardwood titles. His team won at Lebanon in 1918 and here in 1924 and 1927 before capturing this year's state victory. Mr. Curtis is greatly loved by every student as well as by faculty mem- bers. He has a winning smile and a sympathetic disposition which go far in making his close, daily contact with student life a success. Disciplining is necessary in many cases, of course, but he serves his doses with a. smile, which is no doubt the most effective method after all. This factor also often reduces the mental acuteness ot' the punishment which must necessar- ily be administered by him at times. Every student relies upon Mr. Curtis as a principal, a basketball coach, and a real friend. This page through courtesy of 1. J. Newberry 5-10-25c Store IURORS OF THE JUVENILE COURT Marian Reames Marian holds down two jobs this year. She is secretary of both Mr. Mahan and Mr. Curtis. Some students th i n k her very liberal in distributing seventh periods, but the dose isn't so bitter when accompanied by her winning smile. Marian was graduated from M. H. S. with the class of '26. At the head of the English depart- ment is Miss Stevens. Her journalism class owes much of the success of The Artesian Herald to her. She's always there when she is needed. When it comes to creat- ing autobiogra- phers out of her senior English students, she is at Hannah Stevens wonder. As sponsor of the year book, Miss Stevens has always proved her efficiency. Mr. Scheidler heads the social L. J. Scheidler science depart- ment. Present day political and economic affairs are studied in his classes as well as e v e n t s of the past. His ability to make clear any point in the les- son is greatly ap- preciated by his students. Mr. Scheidler is also the efficient treasurer of the local High School Athletic Association. As a teacher of Latin Miss Hart has proved to be one state: her stu- dents h a v e al- w a y s achieved honors in t h e L a tin contests. The l a s t t w o years, however, they have been barred from this competition be- cause Miss Hart was chosen to of the best in the l Lillian Hart prepare the contest questions. She sponsors the Latin Club and the ever- popular Musicae Latinae. The senior class is proud to have Miss Rose, who supervises the mathe- matics depart- ment, as one of its sponsors. The fact that she has been a junior and s e n i o r sponsor several times speaks for itself of her dependabil- ity. One of her hobbies is to pick a good-humored Margaret Rose argument with the gentlemen in her classes.

Katherine Roberts, editor-in-chief of the Artesian , is one of the principal causes of its success. It has been Katherine's job to see that everything is done and to do herself what is left undone. As business manager Emmett Max- well exercised tlie duties of a treas- urer, seeing that the funds were kept straight. Frances Nash performed the duties of circulation manager by keep- ing all subscription accounts in order. Frank, Vandenbark, advertising mana- ger. has wheedled many a business man into thinking advertising in the Artesian is a good thing. Melvin Williams, Martha Moore, and Alice Forbes had the responsibil- ity of arranging the senior pictures in an appropriate manner and of saying nice things about their classmates. The write-ups of the school clubs and organizations, faculty, school board, superintendent, and principal are the work of Martha O'Neal, Mary Louise Duncan, Ruth Myers, and Mary Louise Cramer. Hubert Scott and Wayne Garrison, as sport editors, were responsible for the sports section of this book. Marie Dalby, Frances Dutton, and Katherine Stiles became crystal gaz- ers for a time and then wrote what they saw into the class prophecy. The class will was drawn up and signed by Alberta Francesconi and Elvis Ham. The art work on the Artesian is due to the efforts of Rosemary Wiley, Martha Lou Hinkle, Ausby Whitmire, and Felix De Hebreard. If you don't like the snapshot pages see Garnett Shane or Harriett Hinkle. To type all material for the year book in form to be sent to the printer meant work for Evelyn Swope, Jose- phine Stevens, and Dolores Scheilder.

FUTURE SPACE-RA TE WRITERS The journalism class, composed of juniors and seniors, under the capa- ble supervision of Miss Hannah Stev- ens, published the Artesian Herald bi- weekly. Through this illustrious pa- per the latest happenings and the new- est gossip came to M. H. S. followers. All articles were read ill class for criticism, and the best were selected for publication. The successful editors were Mary Louise Cramer and Martha Moore. They also did the proof reading, which consisted of detecting all mistakes on the printed copy sheets. Aunt Susie, who helped many a lovelorn student through the medium of her famous column, was Harriett lliukle. Believe It or Not, the column con sisting of the juiciest morsels of scan- dal and gossip, was capably edited by Frank Vandenbark and Tracy Hadley. Rosemary Shane and Josephine Stevens diligently typed the news copy. Garnett Shane had the difficult task of circulation manager. Stanley Terhune and Frank Vanden- bark worked faithfully and consistent- ly to secure the needed advertising. YVilliam Pringle and Stanley Ter- hune were responsible for the sport write-ups. T H E R .fl I, D S T 4 .F I, Harriett Hinkle took care of the mailing list. The cub reporters were Mildred Goss, Marie Dalby, Albert Tedrow. Inez Martindale, Mabel Reynolds, and Mary Louise Duncan. These reporters wrote the news articles and editorials. Garnett Shane was responsible for the features, Seen and Heard at the Game and Typewriting Sue. Mary Louise Duncan wrote Who's Who from M. H. S. and M. H, S. Day by Day. In spite of the depression and hard times this has been one of the most prosperous years for the school paper. With no money at the first of the year, the staff soon secured sufficient ad- vertising, and the student body nobly responded with five hundred subscrip- successfully throughout the year.

The original purpose of the club was to furnish entertainment for Latin Club programs. The Musicae is proud to hail as its founder Miss Hart. Much of the recognition and success ac- corded this organization has been due to the talent and originality of its sponsor. During the year, besides entertain- ing at Latin Club, the girls had the distinction of giving the tirst program for the hardwood quintet, and they gave a very spectacular Valentine pro- gram. The girls also filled a number of en- gagements outside of school. In fact. their program calendar was so crowded that they were unable to fill as many engagements as there were requests.

WRANGLERS If you expect to leave the Iield of argument with colors Hying victorious- ly. do1i't pick a student from this group as your opponent, for they can convince you that it was not Thomas Jefferson who cut down the cherry D If B -l T 0 R S tree but Abraham Lincoln. The best advice that could be given you would be to watch what you say, or the con- sequences will probably be an argu- ment with one of these M. H. S. star debaters. The Martirsville debating team of 1932-1933-I tied with North Vernon for second place in the debating tourna- ment hel'l at Bloomington this year. The question debated upon for all debates was Hllesolved: That the Gov- ernment Should Own and Operate All Hydro Electric Plants Throughout the United States. The subject proved very interesting and instructive to those engaged in the debates. The members of the negative team were John Smyth, Charles Kennedy, Martha Moore, and Ruth Harris, alter- nate. The members of the affirmative were Lewis Lind, Elizabeth Moore, Mary Louise Duncan, and Horace Wil- lan, alternate. Mr. Richard Gennnecke coached the teams. At the Bloomington tournament the M. H. S. teams debated Bedford. Bloomington, North Vernon, and Co- lumbus. During the year they de- bated New Palestine, there: Peters- burg, llereg Southport. here: and Co- lumbus and North Vernon at Colum- bus. On December 4, five members of the team and their coach participated in the Annual Debaters Conference at Purdue University. There were three seniors, four jun- iors, and a sophomore o11 the team this year. The squad was selected after try- out speeches had been given in the auditorium. The students were judged on their speeches, presentation, and knowledge of the subject. Miss Dor- sett, public speaking teacher, and Mr. Gemmeeke were the judges. Only two members had had any previous expe- rience in debating. Debating is being encouraged in the high school, and everyone interested is urged to try out for the team.

The Club holds a meeting once a month and was organized last fall with Garnett Shane. presidentg Charles Kennedy, vice-pres- identg and Robert Terhune. secretary- treasurer. The society gives every member in the club a chance to do dramatic work i11 some form. The organization is composed of about twenty-live mem- bers from the three upper classes whose scholastic average is 85 or above. All students who desired to be n member of the club were required to try out and were selected for their dramatic ability. Each meeting was in charge of a group of students, and many interest- ing programs were given du1'ing the year. At the Christmas party a-play writ- ten by Garnett Shane was presented. The play was in three scenes and told the story of the birth of Christ. Scene I took place in a field outside of Bethlehem where the angels ap- peared to the shepherds. Scene II took place in the desert home of Balthasar, the Egyptian. Scene II was laid in the manger. ' A synopsis of The Other Wise Man and the distribution of gifts by old Santa completed the program. On guest night a review of the play, Lucrise , was given by Mary Louise Duncan. D R A M A T I . C w I, L U B At the February meeting a sketch of a Dramatic Club meeting in 1980 was presented. Merrill Frounfelter also gave a review of the musical comedy, Of Thee I Sing . To augment their treasury, the club sold candy at the performances of the Christian Church Minstrel. For many years the Dramatic Club has presented an annual play. This year the club decided to wait until the latter part of the yenr to give their play instead of presenting it so early in the season as done heretofore. How- ever. later on the situation of the shortness of the school year and the ma11y activities that had to be crowded into the calendar of the short- ened school term made it impossible for the Dramatic Club to secure suffi- cient time to prepare a play. The sponsors of the club were Mrs. Helen Boldrey and Miss Myngle Dor- sett.

A At the Iirst of the year the orchestra consisted of thirty-two pieces, but, i11 preparing for the spring contests, sev- eral new members were added boost- ing the number to approximately fifty. During the year these musicians have performed before the public on several occasions at high school en- tertainments. In the fall a string ensemble, con- sisting of first chair people from the orchestra, played at Greenwood, Indi- ana for the Junior Federation of Music Clubs. This ensemble has also ente1'- tained local city organizations. The district orchestra contest took place at Terre Haute on Friday and Saturday, April 8-9. The local orches- tra was entcred in Class B. No loving cups or medals were given as awards this yeal'. The orchestras were simply grouped in divisions according to the positions they won. This page tlirough courtesy Several members of the orcllestra. were entered in solo contests at the district session. The state contest was held at La Porte, Indiana on Friday and Satur- day. May 5-6. The winners were awarded positions in ditterent groups as the district contestants were. Con- tests in solo work were also conducted at the state. Northwestern University will enter- tain the national contestants during the lirst or second week of the World's Fair. The winning organization will play at the World's Fair. At the convention of the State Fed- eration of Music Clubs in Indianapolis on April 22, Mrs. Kelso directed an all- state orchestra composed of forty junior instrumental clubs of Indiana. The local music club formed the nucleus of this huge assemblage of musicians. Martha Lou Hinkle acted as presi- dent of the M. H. S. Orchestra this year. Elizabeth Moore was vice-presi- dent and Robert Mahan, secretary- treasurer. of Collicr 131-os. Crcanlei-X L we ,A-tr, SPAULDING SPARTANS Everybody wants to be there when the band starts playing.

To add the spice of variety to 'band entertainment, Mr. Spaulding has or- ganized a group of Over the Rhine tooters. The members of this little German band still remain members of the larger organization, however. In reality, there are two groups of German musicians, each composed of five members. The groups meet and practice jointly, but when playing for the public they generally appear sep- arately. Regardless of the last state- ment, they did combine and present an interesting and entertaining assem- bly program. They also played several numbers in the concert.

From the very first. of the school year Mrs. Petry showed her enthusiasm in being the new sponsor of the club. VVIIGII school opened, the live old members held tryouts for those wish- ing to belong. and eleven new meni- bers were the result. The day of the initiation M. H.

The students' belief that a few of their school chums had gone a bit. dippy was shattered when the girls came to school the next day looking normal again. On Christmas Eve, as always before. the girls carolled at every house that had a candle in the window.

These Sunshine girls have suc- S U N S H I N E S O C I E 77 Y, worked all year on a notebook which they took to the convention for exhi- bition with those made by various other societies. The society meets bi-weekly. At the beginning of the school year it was ceeded in bringing happiness to many needy families this year. At Christ- mas time charity baskets were pre- pared from donations of food and clothing made by members of the Sun- shine Society and Girl Reserves. On January 20 these same organizations combined forces in selling candy at the charity basketball game. The proceeds went to the charity fund. Clothing was brought in by the mem- bers of the society and distributed at various times during the year by the Charity Committee. The girls also sold Health buttons for the Morgan County Tuberculosis Association dur- ing Christmas vacation, The Thanksgiving program was giv- en by the Sunshine Society, in which every member participated. ln April the annual State Sunshine Convention took place. This year it was held at Lebanon. The girls divided into two groups, each group to he responsible for alternate meetings. Probably the most important proj- ect of the Sunshine Societies of Indi- ana is their fund to help support the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital in In- dianapolis. 'The societies have con- tributed approximately S2.000 to this cause. The hospital has a panel in one of its windows in recognition ot their work. The Sunshiners also sponsored a Mother-Daughter get-together dur- ing the latter part of April.

CANDIDATES The Hi-Y, this year as in previous years, has been one of the most pro- gressive organizations in school. Out- side of the regular meetings several night gatherings have taken place to plan for some project or activity. or Hi-Y, Mr. Rowe spoke before the en- tire student body the morning of March 6. The Hi-Y hopes to establish the Father-Son banquet as a tradition of the club. Pop sales at the basketball games were always in charge of the Hi-Y boys as was also a cloak checking room, established this year. The Hi-Y boys cooperated with the Girl Reserves in presenting the an- nual Christmas program to the assem- bly just before the holidays. A new feature was introduced into their round of activities this year. On March 6, the boys entertained their dads at a Father-Son Banquet. H. G. Rowe, of the Young People's Division of the Indiana Council of Religious Education, was the principal speaker of the evening, delivering a fine and impressive lecture on Dads and Lads. R. J. Duke, assistant-secretary of the Indiana Y. M. C. A.. also was introduced and addressed a few words to the assemblage. Special music was furnished by a trio from the high school orchestra. As a gift to the school from the . H I ll' 1 ff L If li Melvin Williams, president of the club, deserves much credit for the suc- cess of this year's Hi-Y. Wayne Gar- rison ably filled the office of vice-presi- dent. Emmett Maxwell and Ausby Whitmire efficiently performed the duties of secretary and treasurer re- spectively. Lyman Abbott acted as Sergeant-at-Arms. Mr. Benjamin Moore is the able sponsor of the Hi-Y Club. True to custom, candidates were al- lowed to qualify for membership in the club at the end of the first semes- ter. Those initiated at this time were: Jay Martin, Marvin Maxwell. Russell Plummer, Stanley Poleckna, Robert Rusie, Horace Willan. John Hinson, Luford Mc-Daniel, Walter James, Carl Brown, Herman Koons, and Austin Williams.

W? :HIFI- BOYS, 4-H CLUBS The present Senior High Boys' 4-H Club was organized in April, 1932. No meetings were held during the summer, but a meeting every two week has been held during the school year. The' members of the organization took part in the Washington Bi-Cen- tennial program held by the County 4-H Club organization in February, 1932. In the State 4-H Bird Identification contest at Purdue last year, Herman Koons won first place over forty con- testants. The Junior High 4-H Club had as its officers for the year 1932-33, Wayne Haase, presidentg Elmer Duckworth, vice president: and Gene Goss, secre- tary. The organization prepared one number for the Bi-Centennial celebra- tion. Elmer Duckworth is president of the 1933-34 junior high club. Lloyd Max- well is vice-president and John Schnaiter, secretary. AGRICULTURE CLUB At the first of the school year of 1931-32 the Martinsville High School Agriculture. Club was organized. The club served as a committee for Mr. Calvin in city relief garden work. Down in room 1 the club weighed, packaged, and prepared for distribu- tion hundreds of packages of garden seed. About one hundred twenty-five families received this aid. Just south of the new gymnasium the club mem- bers measured and marked on the spaces for these relief gardens to be planted. Last year the club met once every two weeks, but this year it has been able to hold only one meeting a month. The boys have been working under handicaps this year and there- fore have not accomplished as much as they did last year. Ralph Lewis is president of the present organizationg Marvin Maxwell is vice president, and Herman Koons, secretary-treasurer. BETTER ENGLISH CLUB The Better English Club, composed of twenty-five girls from the seventh and eighth grades, was organized last fall by Marjorie Lingle, Marjorie Moss, and Jean Scott under the direct supervision of their English instruc- tor, Mr. Ralph Dorsett. The primary purpose of the organi- zation was, as the name implies, for the promotion of better English, both oral and written. The Junior High News in the Ar- tesian Herald was penned 'by these young journalists, and some very clev- er writeups appeared in the junior high columns during the year. Produc- ing articles subject to publication served as an excellent medium for practice in Written work. One article of news a week was required of each member in order to remain on the club roll. Short talks, debates, and club activities served as the medium for oral improvement. The organization provided for the offices of president, chairman, secre- tary-treasurer, and two committee heads. The two committee women represented the two divisions of the Junior High News- Chit Chat and News . JR. HIGH MATH CLUB The Junior High Math Club was organized late last fall for pupils in the 7-1X and 8-1x and 8-2x classes. To be eligible for membership the sevens had to have a mathematical average of 90, and the requirement of the eights to gain access to the club called for an average of 85 or above. Five meetings were held during the year, each meeting being in charge of one of the teachers in the math de- partment. Billy Pitkin occupied the president's chair, and Joan Cravens served as secretary-treasurer. The direct sponsorship of the organ- ization was in charge of Miss Mar- garet Rose, head of the mathematics department. This page through courtesy of Kivett EQ Kivett, Attorneys --1'v-Y L .ff f . vp. MARTINSVILLES MENTORS Mr. Curtis has been with the local institution for the last thirteen years. He has failed only three times to take a team to the state tourney at Indian- apolis. Of these teams three have won Mr. Smith is assistant coach' and scout of the varsity squad and head coach of the second team. Before com- ing to Martinsville Mr. Smith coached Glenn Curtis the championship. These teams were in the years of '24, '27 and the present year, '33. In the years of '26 and 28, he coached teams that went to the finals. Mr. Curtis is well liked by his play- ers. They know him by the name of Prexy . He is also well liked by the townspeople. During his coaching here he has turned out some of the state and 1121- tion's leading players. Some of these are Lockhart, Wooden, Suddith, Eu- bank, Reynolds, and Tackett. Wooden had the distinction of being an All- Americau choice for three straight years during his college career. at Brown school and Morgantown with great success. Mr. Smith has been a teacher in the Martinsville school for live years. Dur- ing his four years as coach of the sec- ond team hg has had exceptionally f Y Evart Smith good teams with unusual records. This year his team played eigl1tee11 games and won eighteen. This page through courtesy of Robert j. XYadC, 1'l'US6Clltlllg Attorney 1 ,f .

H. S. Clarence has been a member of the basketball squad for three years, playing one year before coming to Martinsville. He played center on the tipoff, then going to a guard position. He also has another side line as one of his pet hobbies. ROBERT NORMAN- Cobb Cobb played a guard positiong he is also lost by graduation. Cobb didn't show his real ability until this year, but has made up for lost time. He was known for his fighting ability and sometimes fought too hard. Cobb always harvested his share of the points. He was chosen as an all state guard th's year. EUGENE CRAMER- Gene ' Gene played center on the team. He is also a member of the graduating class. Gene is known for his fighting ability and awkardness. He did not break into the limelight until the lat- ter part of the season due to an injury received early in the season. VERL BEASLEY- Beaz ' Verl, the streak of lightning for- ward, could always be depended upon for his share of the points. Verl is not a senior but is lost to next year's team due to the ruling on age limit. He was a hard tighter and could alf ways be depended upon to get the ball. HUBERT SCOTT- Scotty Scotty was a sub on the team and is lost in graduation. He was prob- ably the best all-around player, being called upon to play all the positions at different times. Scotty did not get into the line-up much, but when he did he proved very valuable. MARVIN MAXWELL Marvin is a junior this year and should prove very valuable to the team next year. He spent most of his time this year in getting experience with the second team. Marvin is a good jumper for his size and a good underbasket man. WAYNE GARRISON- Franty Franty is a senior and captain of this year's championship team. He This page through courtesy of Dr. was the only man on the team that had played for more than two years on the varsity. Wayne broke into the line-up when he was a sophomore. He has been a regular ever since. His place will be hard to fill next year be- cause he was a good offensive threat and exceptional on defense. Garrison is another all-state selection, having been chosen for one of the guarding positions. KENNETH WILLIAMS- Chick This was Chicken's first year on the varsity, although he played two years on the second team. At the first of the season he played on the re- serves, but because of his good long shooting he was moved up to the first team where he has been Mr. Curtis's right-hand man. This is Chick's last year, and he will be greatly missed next year. KENNETH WATSON- Buck Buck was one of the four juniors on the team. Along with the rest of the juniors, he has seen most of his action with the second team. He has shown himself to be a goofl shot as well as a good defensive man. Buck probably will be the nucleus of next year's team. - ROBERT DALE+ Bob Tom's boy is always seen with Wat- son. It probably would be surprising to hear some of their secrets about M. B. and L. A. Bob furnished the fun in the dressing room by hiding the other fellows' clothes. He was a guard and beyond all doubt will be called upon to strut his stuff next year. WENDELL PHILLIPS- Windy Windy is another of the Phillips. His brother Red graduated last year, and Windy came along this year to take his place. He played most of the year on the reserves and has proven himself to be worthy of a first team berth next year. LYMAN ABBOTT- Hez-all Lyman was one of the seven seniors to graduate this year. He did not see much action during the year, but when he did he exhibited a splendid brand of ball. He was handicapped by his height. LNVQHT and Dr. D. L. Hayworth M I-- ix . THE SEASON'S RECORD Starting the season with only green material, Mr. Curtis has 'molded a team that has made a successful rec- ord. The year's record shows thirteen victories against nine defeats: this in- cludes the invitational tourney at Bed- ford. The defeats were by very small margins, and at no time did the Curtis- men have a set-up team as an op- ponent. In reviewing the opponents, the most outstanding ones were-Techni- cal of Indianapolis-Logansport-Shel- byville-Anderson - Bloomington - Vin- cennes and Washington. Among these, only Washington, Tech, Shortridge, and Shelbyville registered defeats that were not later revenged. No team de- feated the locals by more than three points during the season, except Washington and Technical. One of the outstanding achievements of the season was the winning of the Big Four Tourney at Bedford. In this tourney Bedford, Vincennes, Jefferson- ville, and Martinsville competed. Mar- tinsville played Jeffersonville in the first game and won the tourney by de- feating Vincennes one point in the finals. This year's record would undoubted- ly have been better had it not been for sickness and injury among the players. In the first game of the sea- son, Cramer, regular center, sustained an infected leg and was able to play in only a very few games until tourna- ment time. The team of last year was humbled in the sectional tourney for the first time in many years. The Curtismen of this year still had this happening in mind and doubled the score on Bloomington in both of their season's engagements. The team began their climb to the championship on February 21. On that date they played Anderson. The lo- cals turned back the Indians in great fashion with a score of 21-18. That same week they beat Vin- cennes and kept their record with nothing but victories from then on in. The fine showing was mostly due to Garrison's and Coyle's defense, Nor- man's leadership, and Beasley's re- bound work. The second team also showed exceptional skill in practice and gave the first team much experi- ence. Basketball had begun to die out in Martinsville, but this winning of the championship will undoubtedly arouse much enthusiasm for the sport next year. I I Eight members of the first twelve men will be lost by graduation, but with the material that is left over, Coach Curtis should have another successful season.
