f my rr 'fr Turf'-'cv-',,f , .-We .1 ..-, THE HALL OF FAME It is the feeling of the senior class of 1933 that some tribute should be paid to the honored alumni of Martins- ville High School. 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
