Mahan The Principal , Mr. Curtis has made a great suc- cess as principal of our school. He commands the respect and admira- tion of all who' know him. He ad- ministers justice with a firm hand but in such a way that it really does not seem like punishment. In addition to his job as principal, he is also the coach of our basket- ball team. He has achieved well earned fame in this field and is one of the leading coaches in Indiana. The Superintendent Mr. Mahan has guided Martins- ville High School very efficiently through many years. He has seen it grow in enrollment from three hun- dred and eighteen in nineteen twen- ty-one to nearly eight hundred and forty at the present time. Under Mr. Mahan's supervision many new departments have been created and others have been en- larged. Even during the recent years of depression Mr. Mahan has enabled the school to maintain its high standards. Glenn M. Curtis The School Board I 1 i I 2 V 5, I 1 ' ' I H. F. Dutton E. S. Kriner H. A.

RALPH SAVAGE Ralph is a very good na- tured boy, and has many friends. He will be missed in the industrial department next year, because he ls one of Mr. Wadsworth's most dependable students, His brother is fol- lowing in his footsteps. 15 MARY MARGARET SCHOONOVER -1-H Cluh 1-2-3-4 Glee Club 1-2-3-4 Orchestra 1-2-3-4 Sunshine Society l Arteslan Staff 4 Girl Reserves Z!

She usually has more letteffl from California, Blooxntnglmi. etc., than all the other girls in school. She has a g1'nl'l ous laugh, but it comes from the heart. 16 llAR4.iL'ERl'1'E ROBINSON Latin Club 1-2 Glu- Club 1 Operetta 1 Marguerite is looked on with envious eyes by D. Fesler and a few other students who live mlles from the srhool. She is rather bashful but will get along with her man. JACK JOHNSTON Glee Club 4 .lac-k is the Sc-hnozzlc- of the senior c-lass. If the movies want a double for Jimmy Durante they can find one in Martinsville. NVhen a var gots careening around a corner and some boy yells, Uhotcha, cha L-ha cha. it has to be .lam-lt. NVANZA SAVAGE XVanza is a perfect lady. Profanw language, heated rm-- torts, and sarcasm were never made for her. She is cheerful. always smiling and liked by everyone. She has a complex- ion without a blemish and is envied by all the girls because of this. HOBERH' ZARIXG Latin Club 1-2-SX Glee Club 2-3-4 Junior class play 3 Varsity Debating 13 Student Counrfil 4 Operetta cast 4 Bob ran give and take .1 good joke. His Waterloo is Miss Roses trig vlass. MARJURIIG LONG Girl Reserves 3 Marge is one girl who makes the sphinx seem like an Lee Tracy. Her placid, easy going ways are not easily ruf- tied. Her manner is unobtru- sive. her habits. temperate. and her tastes, modest. This is what it takes to make Hood. .ELIZABETH BRADY Lib is small. blonde, good- natured, and a true friend to everyone. She is always around the corner from where Imo- gene Hicks is. Lib is a girl who goes in for sports and is good in everything she does. EMMETT PHELPS Basketball 1-2-3-4 Varsity Il-4 Latin Club 1-2 Glee Club 3 Operetta 3 Emmett tladies' manlPhelDs would make somebody a won- derful blonde hero.

ROBERT KELLER Bob says he is a faithful Democrat, but he can be seen at all the Republican dances thoroughly enjoying himself. No certain glrl's name can be pinned on Bob for he changes his tastes about every week. Bob has a smile for everyone. 17 DANIEL WOODEN Basketball 2-3 Lzuln Club 1-2-3 Danny is the apple of I hyllis's eye and the kid brother of no other than that famous Johnny Wooden. Dans laugh is a novelty, and the mischievous look in his eyes will probably prove him guilty of disregarding his studies for more interesting subjects. JOHN HEWITT John has the honor of being the one in the class that can give book reports and thor- oughly entertain the class, as well its himself, while doing so. His laugh indicates hes enjoying life. BRUCE PRIEST Basketball i-2-il Art Club 4 Annual Staff 4 Bruce is one of Hochstet- ler's crack drawers. He and Lucille Quackenbush are thick- er than molasses ln January and do we envy him! I-Ie is rv- sponsible for much of the work on the senior pictures, GENEVA CARMICHAEL Sunshine Society 1 Girls' Athletic Association 1-2 Glee Club 3-4 Gee has quite a crush on Alva. Fame has not set her in the spot light, but her snappy eyes show she has something behind the placid severlties. Singing is a trait Geneva po- stsses that runs in their fam- ily. DOROTHY FESLER Dramatic Club 2 Latin Club 1-2-3 Uke Club 3 Junior class play Body by Fisher. Dot muy not be skinnly but that dotsn't worry her. Her spells ol' laugh- ter gone will make the school very dull. MARION HARDING Marlon is one of the very few girls that has taken four years of history. Her chief in- terest, however, is centered in the home economics depart- ment. She is very much like he-r sister, when it comes to deciding which is which. MARTHA DEVURE Martha. is a very serious thinker. In everything she does she thinks it through first be- fore acting. She rides to school in a gray chlvy and comes from east of town. Her au- burn hair makes her attrac- tive, and she ls very good na- tured. HUBERT McKEE Latin Club 1-2 Hubert is very thoughtful and practical. He uses good judgment and makes it a point to be fair and square at all times. This fact is appreciated by his pals, of whom Hubert has many. We wish you the best of luck, Hubert.. 18 IORAX SCOTT Glee Club 1-2-3-4 Lutin Club 1-2 Skldding 3 Dorney is a bit egotisti- vnl. but that':: far better than having an inferiority 1-omplt x.

When he gets done putting his Trig on Miss Rose's blackboard then-'s no room for anyone elsf's tripz. He seldom has his trip: lesson. but he always manages to bluff in some WHY. which is really something in Miss Rose's room. ALBERTA PAYTON G, A.

GARNET XVILLIAMS Latin Cluh 1 Garnet ls at Bi'ooklynite. He's another gang leader who has his way on the svhool bus. It' anything is over miss- ing from the bus fcarburet- or. seats, bolts. etr-J, Garnet usually knows where they art-. His eyes always have a gay look ln them.

She is a violinist with brown hair and brown eyes. RALPH KIRK Agricultural Club 2-3 4-H Club 1-2-3 A sturdy son of terra firms.. Maybe you haven't heard much about Ralph but that's just his way. He works si- lently toward his goal as an efficient up-to-date agricultur- alist. LEONARD SHAW Shaswich is a rather weird nickname but better than none to say the least. Swineye is rather small and looks more like a freshman than a senior, but you can't always go by size, for he is more popular among his friends than most seniors. He can be seen at every shin dig pushing his feet over the floor with all the girls clammering for the next dance with him. GERTRUDE THOMAS Girls' Glee Club 1-2-3-4 Dramatic Club 1-2-3 Girl Reserve 3 4-H Club Z!-3-4 Operetta 1-3-4 Genie is the girl of the Art, Music, and Journalism Departments. SHIRLEY RATCLIFF 4-H Club 2-3-4 Agricultural Club 2-3 Shirley uses considerable forethought and is very care- ful and prudent in his actions, which causes him to be self- cnntained and somewhat dom- ineering. He should amount to something some day. EUNICE HODGES Eunice is the brain trust of the school. Her average for all four years of work is 97.25 per cent. What we could say would probably underestimate her, so we'll not attempt to characterize her. We just wish her luck. CARL BROWN Carl drives a Ford which is recognized all over school. He isn't heard from much be- cause he hasn't done anything unusual or wrong. He's easy going and does everything he can for a friend. He's well liked around school. MABEL REYNOLDS Latin Club 1 Artesian Herald Staff 3 Glee Club 1 Sunshine Society 1-2 Operetta l Mabel ls one of our blondes in the school. She is an advanced typing student and one of the coming stenog- raphers. 21 PAUL HACKER Hi-Y 4 Paul is a nice, jolly fellow and is almost always on the honor roll. He has been out- standing ln math for four years. He is very dependable and performs all tasks to the best of his abllity, regardless of the detail and patience re- quired. CHARLOTTE ERVIN Muslcae Latinae 1-2 4-H Club 1 Latin Club 1 Annual Staff 4 Sharkey can play the key- board of a typewriter faster than Paderewski can play the piano, and ithat's really some- thing!

Eugene is the kind of a DGP- son who would do anything for a pal He's always grin- ning. 24 Achievements of Class of '34 The class of 1934 has done very well in upholding the traditions and standards of Martinsville High School. They have worked together as one unit during the four years. The scholarship has been very high and the records unblemished. The class has backed the institution to the utmost. Guided from the first by the hand of the principal, Mr. Curtis, they ob- tained a fine start. As freshmen under the leadership of Miss Melton and Mr. Eldon Johnson, sponsors, they enjoyeda very successful year. Edward Pitkin, now deceased, led the boys of the class in scholarship and Eunice Hodges led the girls. At the beginning of their initial term this class organized and chose as their officers William Lentz, president, Gene- vieve Baker, vice-president, and Allen Mills, secretary-treasurer. During this year there were two social events. Both were parties held in the old gymnasium and both were fully enjoyed by those at- tending. All in all this first year was a decidedly good start for the future of this class. In the sophomore year, Bob Dale, Allen Mills, and Forest Abrell, were chosen as president, vice-president and secretary- treasurer respectively. .Mr. Gemmecke and Miss Coyner were chosen for spon- sors. During this year the annual Latin contest was won by Phyllis Hendrix, For- est Abrell, and Betty Brown. Betty moved away and Phyllis and Forest placed fifth and seventh in the district contest at Bloomfield. Eunice Hodges and Conrad Asher were high honor stu- dents. This year was marked in a social way by a dance at the Country Club. The third year opened for this class with plenty of work before it. They chose for their sponsors Mr. Gemmecke and Mrs. Petry. Kenneth Watson was elected president, Allen Mills, vice-president, and Forest Abrell, secretary-treasurer. Although the year was a busy one, the class was not without honors in the scholastic line. In the math contests Patil Hacker and Eunice Hodges were out- standing. In the- commercial contests Martinsville High School had a high enough average to enable it to send teams to Muncie to the state contest in short- hand, typing, and bookkeeping. The class was represented in the beginning typing contest by Marguerite Robinson and Charlotte Ervin, and in the shorthand contest by Margaret Youngen and Mar- garet Hamilton. Gertrude Thomas placed third in the 4-H Club district judging contest and eighth in the state. Mary Margaret Schoonover and Gertrude Thomas won trips to the Purdue Round- Up. For the annual junior class play they chose Skidding , a three act farce. Jun- ior Kivett, Gene Trowbridge, Phyllis Zenor, Ruth Harris, Forest Abrell, Beu- lah Davis, Bob Zaring, Conrad Self, Lor- an Scott, and Dorothy Fesler had parts in the play. About forty dollars was cleared on this play and with this small amount of money the difficult problem of planning a reception was started. As plans neared completion and funds be- came low the class sponsored a moving picture show at the State Theatre. About fifty dollars was made in this method. The decorations were carried out in blue and gold, and the plan was that of a Jap- anese garden. Although funds were lim- ited, by careful planning and econmoy, the finished effect was one of real beauty. This ended the busiest year the class had ever experienced. At the beginning of the senior year the following officers were chosen: Gene Trowbridge, president, Junior Kivett, vice-president, Genevieve Baker, secre- tary-treasurer. As sponsors the class se- lected Miss Rose and Mr, Gemmecke. This was Mr. Gemmecke's third year as sponsor of the class. This year the class was faced with the greatest financial troubles it had yet en- countered. Early in the year they con- ducted a doughnut sale from which about thirteen dollars was cleared. Several dol- lars were also cleared from the annual Senior Class play which was held the first part of May. 4 I Several seniors had leading parts in the operetta. The basketball team was com- posed largely of senior boys. Several sen- ior girls participated in the commercial contests. The class of 1934 initiated a new form of, commencement in which the graduates took active part. Caps and gowns were worn for the- first time in many years.

Martinsville High School's greatest ada venture this year is the adoption of the freshman college courses in math, his- tory, German, and English. These classes are taught by Miss Rose, Mr. Scheidler, Miss Hart, and Mr. Gantz, respectively. lVe all like to see the former graduates come back and help adorn the halls through which they passed so many times in years before. At the first of the year Mr. Gantz was selected as sponsor of the class. The first semester the class held an in- vitation party in the old gym. Mr. Gantz who is also quite a musician furnished some special piano numbers which were greatly enjoyed by those present. At the end of the first semester, the class took their examinations at Indiana University, where they made an unusual- ly good showing. This is a compliment to the teachers as well as the members of the class. 33 Room 14, with Mr. VVilliams as teach- er includes both seniors and sophomores. Since Mr. VVilliams has to be in the office part of the time, the room elected Ken- neth W'atson to take charge on such oc- casions. At the first of the year in a series of get acquaintedl' meetings, eachl person told his name and gave a brief summary of his life. ln another series of meetings, various persons told of their most thrill- ing experience, which also proved inter- esting. At the beginning of the year the fol- lowing officers were chosen to serve for Room l3: president, Bill Smith, and vice-president, Rawlins Tousey. During the first semester practically all the home room periods were taken care of by Mr. Gantz. However, during the second semester, the home room pe- riod has been entirely in charge of the students. zelle Whitaker, Mr. Gantz. Doyle. Smith, Marvin Pauly.

The room began its meetings October 24 with Gladys telling each one to think over his chief interest or hobby and tell about it the following morning. A program committee met and com- posed programs to last several mornings. The room has discussed home room or- ganization from every angle. A study of current events for one or two mornings proved very interesting. Questions of general information Cbor- rowed from Miss Hartj were then taken up.

Johnston l Gemmecke?s Guessers After all, the real purpose of the home room is to set the pace for the entire day. lf the programs which are presented in the morning must be pulled from stu- dents or conducted by the teacher alone. no worthwhile value is obtained. On the other hand, a home room should be a bit different from the ordinary class group. In room 32 they have tried to eliminate all attempts at artificial programs and to conduct the room in as natural and spontaneous a Way as possible. The family is composed of members of the hopefuls of '35. Besides the class president. Verl Beasley, and the other class workers, they have also given the school real basketball artists, dramatic stars, a musician or two, and a fine group of boosters. The representative on the Student Council, Albert Allen, has done his share in encouraging good citizenship about the school.

Prewitt's Pets Room 16 was organized in September with Merrill l'earcy as president. In a series of get acquainted mornings We learned that Ralph Smith and Garnet Sheeks represent the largest families, Ralph being one of twelve children, all living-Garnett, one of eleven. An inventory of things l most dislike disclosed some interesting personal prej- udices-such as certain girls' antipathy to curly permanents, fat men, big ears, parsnips, and Hat tiresg certain boys' dis- like of red linger nails, buttons off clothes, girls who talk' too much, and car- rots.

At this meeting the following class officers were chosen: Eileen Cunningham, president, Phil Pow- ell, vice-president, Carola Scheidler, sec- retary-treasurer. The first party, a kid partym, took place on a Friday evening in the fall. NVho would ever think that sophisticated sophomores would lose their dignity for an evenings entertainment? The' girls came attired in short print dresses, wear- ing anklets and hair ribbons, while the majority of that bashful set of boys ap- peared in overalls and straw hats. ln the early part of the evening, danc- ing in the old gym, where Mrs. Hazel M. Kelso and the Special Orchestra rendered a number of popular hits of the week, was enjoyed by all. ln the latter part of the evening, games such as Miller lioyn, Drop the Handkerchiefn, Three Old Front row: Left to right: Elinor Gray, Blanche Landrum, Betty Lewis, Lillian Johnson, Mildred Kinney, Bob Goss, Leonard Fogleman, Otis Griffith.

The refresh- ments were delightful as they consisted of oranges, in which a stick of candy was placed, through which to suck the juice, and good old eskinio pies. A few parents of the sophomore students were kind enough to be chaperons. XYithout the aid and guidance of our very efficient class sponsors, Mrs. Lida l'rewitt and Mr. Robert Colvin, the party would never have been a success. At the close of this. our first party, all the sopho- more kids agreed that it had been El jolly evening and hoped that their second party would be just as happy an event. The representatives on the Student Council, who received their positions by popular vote of the class are Eileen Cun- ningham, Pauline Pearcy, Parnell Baker, and Harry Terhune.

Opal and Kathleen were ad- vanced to the County contest where they again won first and second place respect- ively. ln the local geometry contest held in the junior Assembly March l, under the direction of Miss Margaret Rose, geom- etry instructor, Pauline Pearcy won first place, Opal Lemons, second place, and Harry Terhune, third place. As Opal Lemons could not participate in the geometry contest since she was al- ready in the Latin contest, Harry Ter- hune took second place.

Sophomores have participated not only in intellectual activities, but also in the athletic program of the school. Although they did not have a representative on the first team, several members of the class were found on the second and third teams and will be valuable members of the squad next year, The names of the fol- lowing boys are found on Coach Curtis, list of sophomores out for spring practice: Reeves, Selch, Fields, Neal, Kent, Farr, Hacker, Myers, Gray, Mahan, VVillan, Young, Norman, and VVampler. ard McDaniel, Richard Norman Soots, Pauline Pearcy.

The class was organized at the first of the year. The oliicers are as follows: Max vlohnston, presidentg Helen Pearcy, vice- presidentg Maxine Johnston, secretary- treasurer. The class sponsors are Mrs, XYhitaker and Mr. Smith. The freshman class has tried several times to have a class party. A certain date was set but a coniiicting date with another event caused the party to be dropped. lt is one duty of the freshman class to send flowers to any home where there is bereavement. Due to the overiiow of students, it was necessary to place some of the students in room 26.

Many of them take their places among our leaders and are honor students during the rest of their high school career. Some of this prestige is due to the iniiuence of Mr. llochstetler who is in charge of room 24. The freshmen students in this room have spent their morning periods in various ways. Since such a short time is available each morn- ing for discussion only short topics may be given. At the beginning of this year Mr. Hochstetler assigned NVorld's Fair talks. These consisted of descriptions of the most interesting place visited by the stu- dent giving the talk. They included the llelgian Village, The Planetarium, and the Hall of Science. Later a group of poems by james Whit- comb Riley was read by students in the class. This group was composed of The Raggedy Man .

Each holiday which appeared during the year was observed. Short talks were given concerning its historical back- ground and its relationship and signifi- cance to the present day problems. lVhen it was necessary a short talk was given on the behavior of the students at the basketball games and at the assembly programs. The class was also inspected about every two weeks on the care of their finger nails and hands. The freshman class is represented in many clubs and has received many honors in various actvities. There are a large number of students in the band, orches- tra, glee clubs, Latin club and 4-H club. There are also two members that com- peted in the Math District Contest in Bloomington, Eugene jordan and Mil- dred Hine. Those who received honorable mention were, Helen Pearcy, james Huif, and Hugh Williams. In the Latin Con- test the freshmen were unable to compete because Miss Hart makes out the ques- tions for that division. Four members are playing on the basketball squad, Ralph Holler, Bill Cramer, Maurice Self, and Hugh VVlilliams. The freshman class has been fortunate in having twelve or more students on the Honor Roll each time. To encourage bet- ter work a list is posted in the junior As- sembly of those students making the High Honor Roll and the Honor Roll. Another list is posted of the three stu- dents that have the highest average each semester. This custom has been followed for many years. It is interesting to note that these same students repeat year after year their high type of work. The stu- dents also that receive scholarships at commencement may be found on the Honor Roll list on the Junior Assembly bulletin board.

Every student was en- couraged to participate in democratic thinking, feeling, and action. Twenty-nine 'Alive wires immediately lifted Rosemary Hendricks, Richard Hanna, Juanita Goss, and NVard Hammons to the high office of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. The president was given power to appoint fellow students to Health, Attendance, Scholarship, House Cleaning, Program, and Bulletin Board Committees, and to name such other committees as from time to time popular will desired. Every student Hbelongedy' to something. Inspiration and Perspira- tion became the guiding motto. Home room 29 is a Uhome' room and welcomes the Student Council as a means whereby pupil participation in school government may be carried to broader fields. Richard Hanna, Bob W'atson, Paul Gal- breath, and De Fawn Goodwin now hold the above offices, in order of rank. 1 1 l X Warren Grounds, Theodore Ennis. beth Ferguson, Margaret Gillespie.

At the Thanksgiving program, each of us told the things we were thankful Afor. Several poems were given at Christmas. and each one told what he most wanted for Christmas. Since then, we have had no programs, but we have had several in- teresting things brought up for discus- sion. W'e elected James Barrick as Student Council representative. his? Potter's Pests Home room 43 smacks of newness - twenty-seven new students, new paint, new curtains, and a new teacher. Various members have exerted themselves to make this room cheerful and comfortable in spite of its newness. Flowers were brought by Mary Flora VVilson, decora- tions by Norma VVhitsell, Lou Ann NVil- son, and Mary Shireman. The latter's gift was a handsome calendar on a shield, which looks more like an IHSAA award than a repository for the days of the month.

Whitaker's Whisperers For the past four years Mrs. Vifhitaker has had charge of the opportunity room. This room is being conducted for the benefit of students who need special at- tention and individual aid. Each year the students in this room organize themselves into a civics club. The chief purpose of this club is to create an interest in community and school problems and thus develop a better atti- tude toward the public in general. The officers for this year are: Paul XYatson, presidentg jerry Kaylor, vice- presidentg Melvin Clark, secretary-treas- urer. The standing committees are health, program, and housekeeping. The pro- gram committee has been very active in planning programs for special days. There are twenty-live students in the room this year. The representative to the Student Council is Allen Hemphill, with Kermit Royal as alternate. . .A 7' Kivett's Kids Room 48 is composed of a group of 29 students of the eighth grade. This room has chosen two committees: namely, the Health and Program Committees, both of which are made up of a chairman and three members. The chairmen are Robert 'Powell and Joe Prewitt, to whose efforts the success of these committees is greatly due. The secretary of the room is Betty Parker. This home room has elected as their representative to the Student Coun- cil, Opal Neal. At Christmas time the room made a Christmas basket. Each student brought an article of food, and some money was donated to buy the meat for Christmas dinner. The basket was given to a poor family. The students oi this room have main- tained a high percentage of attendance all through the school year. The home room sponsor is Miss Mae Kivett.

Ll The annual staff was chosen early in the year by Miss Hannah Stevens, head of the English department, with the as- sistance of the editor-in-chief. Since that time, the senior class has been very busy selling and preparing the annual for press and final distribution. There has been a continuous Hurry and scurry of writing-- up the different departments, of the school, seeing that everyone had his head someplace in some picture in the annual, cutting, pasting, measuring, typing, all of which goes to make up the annual. All of this seems to be fun to the staff, for it has worked ungrudgingly, overtime in high spirits and with inexorable faith that not even the greatest obstacle could over- come. Some on the stat? have prepared the will and prophecy, others worked on the departments of the school, while all worked together at anything that was necessary. VVorth mentioning are the hand lettering and art designs by john Smyth. I A iiii 47 As for several years past the students of the journalism class, under the instruc- tion of Miss Hannah Stevens, converted themselves into a newspaper staff so that they might undertake the responsibility of publishing the high school paper, The Artesian Herald, which is published every two weeks. A staff was chosen by the journalism class from its members, and it was through intensive and unceasing effort that each issue was received with acclaim by the student body. The issue which probably gave 'the most laughs to the staff as well as the student body was the annual 'fyellow issue which presented news stories and editorials in a highly colorful manner. Much credit is due Beulah Davis, whose efforts in the advertising line made the paper possibleg Allen Mills, who served as proof-reader, and Forrest Ab- rell and Phyllis Hendrix, who edited the paper.

H. S. There are five divisions of 4-H Club work. Junior Lead- ers during the past year were Martha and julia Goss, Mary Margaret Schoonover, Dorothy Ennis, Joy Smith, Gertrude Thomas, Zona Cooksey, and Caroline Vtfafford. The club won more than one hundred county placings and a score of State Fair prizes during the past season. Zona Cook- sey was awarded a trip to the state lead- ership camp, and Dorothy Ennis and Zona Cooksey were the State Fair school trip winners for 1933. Mary Margaret Schoonover's achievement won for her a state trip to the International 4-H Club Congress in December 1933. Three of the members of the club re- ceived Purdue Round-Up trips this year.

S. cafeteria is a popular and cheerful place in which to eat, being dec- orated in tones of brown and tan. Good food and varied menus are its boast. Under the supervision of Mrs. Hoch- stetler, assisted by Mrs. Ennis and Mrs. Rothwell delicious hot lunches are pre- pared. The cafeteria class also plays a large part in the serving and preparation of the food. This class is organized each semester and is made up of six girls who wish to make extra credits in this way as well as receiving valuable experience. The girls' duties are assigned for a Cer- tain length of time, at the end of which they exchange duties so as to receive training in more than one branch of the work. The pride of the cafeteria is its ability to be run on a non-profit basis, and yet to meet all of its expenses. Another branch of the cafeteria is the candy coun- ter.

They have added a great deal to the assembly programs and at the basketball games their music has done much to increase the enthusiasm and pep. At various times when Mr. Spaulding was unable to be present, the band was directed by VVallace Kelly. On these occa- sions, VVallace showed he was fully capa- ble of directing, and the members showed they were capable of following his direc- tions, as well as Mr. Spaulding's. A picture, The Lucky Devil, was sponsored by the band, the proceeds being used for new music. They have also given two concerts, one last fall and one in May. Besides playing for our home games, they also furnished music at Bloomington and Greencastle when our team played there. One of the School organizations which has tried to lend a helping hand in mak- ing many school, town, club, and lodge programs a success during the past year, was the German Band under the direc- tion of Mr. Vernon Spaulding. The organization was made up of Hve musicians: Irvin McFarland, first clari- netg Robert Goss, second clarinet, Ches- ter Secrest, bass: XVallace Kelley, trum- petg and Francis Shane, trombone. As the name signities this group of boys played German pieces. They have played before many local organizations such as: The Lions' Club, The Presbyterian Men's Club, The Agriculture Club, a joint social gathering of men and women at the Christian Church, the Odd Fellows, and the jefferson Club.

Tenor and Bass The lloys' Glee Club of the year of 1933-34 is very promising with thirty-one members. The glee club entered last year in the state contest held at the Severin Hotel at Indianapolis and won first place in the event. They are entering another contest this year and expecting another high honor. The members of the glee club enter- tained not only the high school at various times, but also other organizations of the city. They entertain themselves and friends every year by sponsoring a joy Night. The boys' and girls' glee clubs com- bined participate every year in an ope- retta to make money for entry fees for contests and to demonstrate their ability as vocalists to the public.

Last year the orchestra entered the dis- trict contest at Terre Haute and placed iirst. At the state contest held in La- Porte they placed second. They have as good an orchestra as that of last year and they expect to do as well, if not better than last year's group. The orchestra furnished music for all dramatic entertainments and gave a con- cert at general assembly in April.

In former years anyone who was taking Latin or had already taken three years of Latin was eligible. This enabled many seniors who were not tak- ing Latin in their last year, but who had already taken three years of Latin, to be- long to the club. This year, however, a new policy was started. Only those stu- dents taking Latin during the current year were eligible to belong to the club. At the first meeting of the club a com- mittee of four members, one from each class, submitted a report of officers to the club. The report was voted on and ac- cepted. The constitution was read and discussed for the beneht of those who were new in the club. It was agreed to have the First night meeting on Novem- ber 16 and to initiate the freshmen at this time. ert Rusie, Lane Winter, Mark Myers. Second row: John D.

The club has been organized the last two years on a somewhat unique plan. Since this plan had been tried in some of the larger schools and had proved suc- cessful, it was decided to try it in our club. Under this plan, the members are divided into three classes as the ancient Romans were. Those students who have had at least three years of Latin are the Patricians, or the upper class, those tak- ing their second year are called Equites, or the middle class. The first year stu- dents are the Plebian, or the lower class. The officers, too, correspond to the offi- cers of the Roman republic, the most im- portant ones being chosen from the upper classes. The consuls preside at the meet- ings and in case one of the consuls is ab- sent, the praetor presides. The scriba keeps the minutes of the meetings. This plan has proved so interesting and Front row: Left to right: Marvin Hine. Dale Morey. Parnell Baker, Bob Richardson, Tom Dillon, Bob Gardner, Wayne Hamilton. Luther Gray. Second row.

At the first meeting of the club, the freshmen had charge of the program, aft- er which they were duly initiated by the upper classmen. The second meeting was in charge of the second year students. The program was very interesting and consisted of vo- cal, violin, and piano numbers, and a play. The play, OH with His Head, was both amusing and instructive. The outstanding event of the year was the Roman banquet which was held in April. The banquet was held in true Roman style. The guests reclined on couches and only those foods which were known to the ancient Romans were served. The Plebians were not permitted to attend. The Patricians were the guests and were served by the Equites. .The banquet was a great success and will no doubt be an annual event of the club. 73 The Hi-Y Club, an activity which aims to extend influence for a high type of per- sonal concluct among the students, was organized this year only after it was found that the parents of all of last year's members desired it. The club held its regular meetings every two weeks at the buffer period. At these meetings the life problems of boys and the activities of the club were con- sidered. Special meetings were held in the old gym for the introduction of new members and social programs. The principal function of the year's program was the Father and Boy Friend Banquet which was held the second week in April. The officers of the club were: Conrad Asher, president, Irvin McFarland, vice- presidentg Dan Vlfooden, secretary, John Hinson, treasurer, Kenneth Vlfatson, ser- geant-at-arms, and their sponsor was Mr. MOOYP mnfl-1 teacher.

He is recognized as one of the greatest coaches in the United States. He has just finished his sixteenth successful season and he is sure to have many more. Mr. Curtis is the only coach in Hoosierdom to win four state titles. He seldom has good material but, due to his excellent coaching, always has a championship con- tender. Bill and Pewee The Assistant Coach Evart Smith has coached the second team for five years and has piled up an enviable record of 75 victories and 21 defeats. Doc is popular among thc younger boys and is of valuable assis- tance to Mr, Curtis as a coach and scout.

He will be well remembered be- cause of his brilliant floor work and ac- curate passing for the second team. He was the best dribbler on the second team. Marvin Maxwell Mac played any position well but mostly saw action at the guard position. He was an excellent long shot, a good left hand shot, and a wonderful rebound man. Emmett Phelps Emmy was the smallest man on the squad. He played at forward on the sec- ond team. He was a good long shot but was handicapped greatly by his size. William Smith Bill was one of the large boys of the squad and played at guard on the second team. He is noted for his ready smile and quick wit. Kenneth Watson Buck was a regular guard this year and proved to be a valuable member of the team. He was a good long shot and always cool in the pinches. Maurice Cobb Maurice started the year on the second team but because of great improvement has established himself as a regular. He is the only junior on the first live. His work under the basket was exceptionally good. Wendell Phillips Windy is a senior and this was his second year on the squad. He alternated at the forward and pivot positions. He was especially deceptive under the bas- ket and was a good pivot guard. Verl Beasely Verl was the only regular left of the 32-33 championship team. He was a hard driver, a great fighter, and a boy that was likely to come through in a pinch. Merrill Pearcy Pearcy is a junior this year and should be of great value to Mr. Curtis next year. He is a good fighter, a long shot, and a boy to be depended upon. Robert Dale Bob was a good dribbler and long shot. He was probably the fastest mem- ber of the team and could be depended on to do his share. Mr. Curtis will miss his coolness and determination.
