RANKIN, artistic CLASS HISTORY On May 31, 1938, 111 seniors closed the doors on four glorious years of high school life. In later years those seniors will remember those days spent at M. H. S. as the happiest days of their lives. The class has led the school in its scholastic record, and many of the students,have brought fame and honor to their class. Being more than well represented in all school activities, the class is honored by having a senior as the president of each Senior High activity. I In 1934, approximately 153 students entered the freshman class with high hopes of attaining their greatest ambition at that time, that of becoming a senior. Now those once green freshmen have filled that ambition, some with gladness in their hearts and some with sorrow. The class chose as their ofhcersz john Schnaiter, president, Annamay Reid, vice-president, Betty Parker, secretary-treasurer. They held two successful parties in their freshman year. As they entered their sophomore year, the roll had decreased in number to 130. ln that year, joe Prewitt was chosen president, james Barrick, vice-president, Joan St. john, secretaryg and Emmadell Teeters, treasurer. The class was just beginning to realize its importance and responsi- bilities at that time. . The junior year was more successful. joe Prewitt was reelected president, Ruth Cure was elected vice-president, and Horace Adams, secretary-treasurer. The class entertained the Seniors at a very elaborate and pleasing reception. The great number of spectators proved that the prom was a success. The highly entertaining class play, Nuts to You, was ably directed by Miss Madelon O'Dell and Mr. Ralph Dorsett. In the fall of 1937, the class organized itself into the Senior Class of 1938 with Horace Adams, president, Robert Scherer, vice-president, Ruth Cure, secretary, and Mary E. Hendricks, treasurer. The Artesian staff, with the advice and untiring effort of Miss Stevens as the student advisor and Miss Rose as the Hnancial advisor, worked diligently during the year to publish this annual that they might have a record of their high school days. The class owes much of its prominence to its sponsors, Mr. Richard Gemmecke and Miss Margaret Rose. The never-to-be-forgotten events of the senior year are: the creditable performance of the class play, Mountain Mumps, given on May 13, the junior-senior prom on May 20, class day on May 243 the class picnic on May 25, the baccalaureate exercises on May 293 and on May 51, 111 students, clad in gray caps and gowns, received that long sought-after diploma, ready to face life's problems alone without the faithful aid of their teachers. 23 Arterian Herald .lldfj Arlerian .rialfg Barkelballg Track ROW ONE' Stevens, Martin, Moore, Kirk lj.. james, F.

The financing of the year book is always a problem as the book is sold for less than the production price. Hence the class had to resort to some means of filling the coffers. Three pay programs were given at each of which a one act play was given. Also some of the proceeds of the senior class play were diverted to the annual. Miss Margaret Rose took care of the financial worries. Mr. Richard Gemmecke, the other senior sponsor, gave valuable assistance. The editorial side of the yearbook was supervised by Miss Hannah Stevens. Charles Cure was appointed Editor-in-Chief by the supervisors early in the school year and assisted in the selection of the staff. Marian Davee was made business manager and with Pat Breedlove and john Schnaiter comprised the business staff. Mary Elizabeth Hendricks and Dorothy I-Iolsapple were the senior editors and were the first to complete their work. Snapshots were taken by Charles Finney and Bill Hardwick. joe Prewitt and Delbert Skaggs were assigned to sportsg Joan St. john and Emmadell Teeters to activitiesg Mildred Robinson to the facultyg Stewart Cohn to the prophecyg Lucille Hickman to the will and Virginia Brown to the calendar. The excellent art work can be attributed to Glen St. john, Roy Rankin, Wayne Haase, and to Miss Ruth Miles, art supervisor. Credit should also be given to jack Bailey who assisted in pre- paring the division pages. The typists were Glendyn Youngen, Kathleen Shuler, and Alberta Swope. 32 SEATED: Schnaiter St john, Breedlove, Shuler Haase STANDING: Cure, Prewitt PEP Swope, Cooley, Neal, Hickman, Scott, Sims, Green, B.

This year the Pep Club, under the direction of Miss Lillian Hart, cheered the team through an impressive season to the Semi-Finals at Vincennes. It is interesting to note that only once did the Artesians meet defeat after a program given by the Pep Club girls. Decked out in their new uniforms of blue skirts and blouses, and red boleros, sashes, and beanies, the 100 girls sang the team to a victory over Greencastle on November 12. The biggest non-pep program of the year was the College Review, in which the songs of the leading colleges were presented by groups of girls carrying the colors of the various schools. Many clever ideas were carried out by the groups. A group of junior high girls seemed to be the favorites. Very impressive floor shows were given in the gym just before the Bloomington and Bedford games. Both Bloomington and Bedford lost. after the Top Hatters, the Balloon Busters, and the Megaphone Maids, had appled the Artesians on to victory.

Interesting programs were presented at the meetings. A Latin play was presented by Miss Kivett's sophomores, the Delphic Sibyl re- vealed many startling and amusing secrets of the future, a panel discussion on Roman customs and traditions was ably given by a group of Vergil students. After each of these programs, a social hour was enjoyed, during which refreshments were served and dancing and games were provided. The Latin Club members sold tickets for a movie and cleared twenty-five dollars. Ten dollars of this was presented to the school, and the rest was put in the treasury. Due to the rush of spring activities and contests in various departments of the school, regular meetings were dispensed with the latter part of the year, and a spring party was held instead.

Most of the boys who are students in agriculture under Mr. Telfer, the advisor of the F. F. A., are members of this club. This organiza- tion, which is now ending three successful years in M. H. S., is based upon social, educational, and cooperative motives. This club is one of the most active organizations in school and holds its meetings monthly. These monthly meetings are held at night, other regular meetings are held weekly. The F. F. A. is the nrst club in school to have regular recreational activities during the activity period. The club has successfully sponsored a county pest- eradication contest and a county banquet this year. Funds for taking an annual summer trip were raised by testing seed corn and treating seed oats and corn. At the beginning of the 1937-38 school year, this chapter is proved to have added seventeen Green Hands and eight associate members. The club also raised four Green Hands. to the Future Farmer degree. Three members tried for a higher rank, the Hoosier Farmer degree, which will be awarded at the Indiana State Convention, to be held in june. The chapter will send two delegates also at this time. The officers for the Future Farmer club the past year were: President, Eugene Williams, Vice-President, Edgar East, Secretary, Richard Hanna, Treasurer, Ray- mond Ferguson, Reporter, Paul Sloan. The committee chairmen were as follows: program committee, Edgar East, refreshment committee, james Abraham, and games committee, Charles Miller.

Thus it strives to mold Christian fellowship into the school life. The meetings are held every Tuesday at the activity period. The second and fourth Tuesdays are used as business periods, while the first and third are given to periods of recreation. The Hi-Y and Sunshine Society this year promoted an all-school mixer, the first in several years. The boys keep the club going with the small profit that is made on the pop that they sell at the ball games. With the aid of this money, the Club strives to further its purpose in a more material manner. A father-and-son banquet, an annual event and a highlight of the club's activities for the year, was held at the First Christian Church, February 18. The speaker was Merle E. Carver, Boy State Secretary. They had the velvet curtains in the auditorium cleaned and have made several improvements in their club room. The club of 1937-38 consisted of a membership of forty boys, who, during the year or previous school years, had personally stated their desires to become Hi-Y members.

Following their creed- With love in my heart, for- getting self, and with charity for all -the Sunshine Society has this year broadened their usual scope of charitable activities and included the following projects: provided lunches and clothing for needy children, sent cards to the sick, donated Thanksgiving baskets of food to worthy families, gave a Christmas party with gifts for inmates of the county farm, assisted the Tri Kappa in their annual children's party at Christmas,- aided in dis- tributing educational material for the Tuberculosis Asso- ciation, assisted the P. T. A. in making a county-wide survey of crippled children, supplied magazines for the underprivileged, and donated to the Riley Fund. Q One of their most successful projects was an all-school party, sponsored jointly with the Hi-Y Club. As a spe- cial privilege, the local organization had the honor of initiating the Southport chapter into the society. They assisted in a patriotic program for all American soldiers given on February 22. A special meeting brought to- gether the alumnae, the annual luncheon was given for the senior members, and monthly parties were given for the junior high girls. They also brought Mrs. C. E. Sandefur, state dean of the Sunshine Society, and Miss Dorothy Stratton, dean of women at Purdue University, before all the girls in high school for inspirational talks. Money for these various projects was raised, as usual, by selling Eskimo pies and candy at the ball games, by selling boxes of Christmas cards, and club dues. Two new methods of money-making undertaken this year for the first time, selling Christmas wreaths and magic slates, were very successful. The state convention was held April 9 at North Vernon, with a large delegation from Martinsville and Paragon attending. l 1 l ROW ONE: Cramer, M. A. Edwards, V. Gillaspy, Griggs. ROW TWO: D.

I r A new feature of the state Sunshine Society program to be inaugurated this year is a summer camp to be held at Lafayette in july. Rosemary Hendricks, Mary Lou Swope, and Bertille Le Men will officially represent the local chapter, although there will be other girls attending. The theme suggested for the program of the year by last year's convention was Our Garden of Sunshine. The subjects selected for each month were carried out in some manner in the program planned by the committee. Beginning in September with the preparation of the soil and the seed, symbolizing the newly-organized year, Octo- ber brought the planting with the sowing of the seed and the germination. In November, under the general topic of nurturing, taking into consideration plant food and sunshine and showers, the program featured discussions of physical and mental health by Mrs. Mary Downing, Miss Marion Ferguson, and Mr. Richard Gemmecke. December brought the cultivating of the garden with special attention paid to the tools by which our lives may be enriched. The growing began in January with the formation of new leaves and deeper roots of under- standing. In February the garden began to bud, dis- playing color and unfolding new leaves. March brought about the actual blossoming with its fertility and fra- grance, symbolizing personality with a talk on the subject by Miss Dorothy Stratton. In April the garden bore fruit, and May brought about the harvest of friendship and good-will attained during the year. This year's club was made up of 110 girls under the sponsorship of Miss Myngle Dorsett and Miss Doris Corns. The oflicers for the year were: President, Mary E. Hendricks, Vice-President, Rosemary Hendricksg Treas- urer, Dorothy Holsapple: Corresponding Secretary, joan St. john: Recording Secretary, Dorothy Underwood: Stu- dent Council Representative, Ruth Cure: Song Leader, Mary Flora Wilson. IIRCIIESTR Last year the orchestra won second place in the state contest. Charles Cure placed third with his violin solo in the national contest in Columbus, Ohio, a great honor to himself and to the school. The objective for the year of '38 is the State Contest at LaFyette. Several of the members of the orchestra entered solos in the district contest at Brazil. Tom Hussy and Charles Cure played violins, Georgia Willian and Gene Carroll, violas, and Mary Katherine Avery and 'Doovid Barskin, piano. A string quartet also entered in their division. Mem- bers of this quartet were: first violin, Charles Cureg sec- ond violin, Tom Hussyg viola, Gene Carroll, cello, Juanita Goss. The orchestra played for the junior and senior class plays and for the Christmas program given by the Mixed Chorus. The officers for the year were: . Stewart Cohn ................. .........

Is it because of the excellent direc- tion of Mr. Vernon Spaulding and the excellent playing of the students? We believe this has something to do with it. The band is the organization that is always repre- sented at our ball games and what enthusiasm they put into the students! They go to out-of-town games, also. This year they traveled to Bloomington and Bedford with the purpose in mind of cheering our boys on to victory. The band will journey to Brazil on April 8 and 9 for the district contest and they have high hopes of par- ticipating in the state contest at Lafayette. Stewart Cohn ............................

Treasurer The sixty members of the Mixed Chorus started their season with a trip to Shortridge to sing in concert with students from Greencastle, Crawfordsville. and Shelbyville for the Indiana State Teachers' Association. Other activities of the Mixed Chorus were singing for the P. T. A., for the Department Club at the Sycamores, and presenting a unique Christmas program for the school in the auditorium. The operetta, Tune ln was given on April 1, both a matinee and evening performance. Due to the efforts of Mrs. Kelso, who came back to school to rehearsals before the injuries she received in an automobile accident had completely healed, and to the ex- cellence of the cast, the operetta was a big success. The May Festival given here on May 23 closed the activities of the Mixed Chorus for the year, when Bedford, Bloomington, Green- castle, Spencer, Crawfordsville, and Martinsville presented several selections. After the program, a dance was held in the gym. 42 1 rtesicm H emld S cz F1 SEATED: Piercetield, Shane, Gray, Powell. STANDING: Churchill, Neal, Carson. The Artesian Herald, which in the past has always been a four-column paper, this year has been enlarged to a tive- column publication. This improvement permits more attrac- tive make-up, more room for news and ads, and a better balanced page. This change of course cost money, and in order to raise the necessary funds, the boys of the journalism class or- ganized a Zep Club which, with the aid of Miss Lillian Hart, produced a program which proved to be one of the hits of the year. On the same program, Stewart Cohn, Bill Hardwick, john Schnaiter, Charles Cure, and Bob Scherer enacted an old-fashioned melodrama entitled Curses, Foiled Again or Why Country Girls Leave Home, written by Hardwick and Cohn, Inc. The journalism basketball team took on all comers during the year, coached by Robert Duke Scherer. Games were played with the Band, the Latin Club, the Future Farmers, and the faculty. As has been the custom in past years, the journalism class filled baskets for the poor at Christmas. Stewart Cohn and Nancy Anne Finney served as co- editors, the rest of the class changing their official positions often during the year. John Schnaiter and Opal Neal have had charge of the advertising, a responsible duty, since it was from advertising that most of the expenses were met. Bob Scherer had charge of the sport page all year, with the assistance of Charles Finney and others in the class. It was through the efforts of Miss Hannah Stevens, journal- ism teacher, that the paper came out promptly on schedule all year. Bill Hardwick, Charles Cure, and Opal Neal proved columnists of varied ability, and their contributions enlivened the news content. Possibly the most widely read articles dur- ing the year were Stewart Cohn's amusing continued stories. SEATED: Bass, Fox, McKee, Forbes. STANDING: St. John, Richardson, Williams, Schnaiter, Stiles.

Chem-Phi The Chem-Phi Club, a new organization this year, is com- posed of present and former members of the chemistry and physics classes. To be eligible for initiation, a student must make science grades of C or higher. The Chem-Phi Club has chosen a motto which is worthy of recognition. The purpose of this club shall be to de- velop initiative, self-reliance, and leadership in the scientific Held. Meetings are held on Wednesday every two weeks. On alternate Wednesdays, the program committee meets to plan the program for the next regular meeting of the club. Also on this Wednesday, the members may work in the laboratory or on any project. Many varied lectures, experiments, and demonstrations have been presented before the club, which have proved both interesting and instructional. A visit to the local hospital was the most notable project undertaken by the group, They were shown medical instru- ments and the workings of the new X-Ray machine. Dramatic For the first time in several years a Dramatic Club was organized this year under the leadership of Miss Marion Ferguson. Under her guidance the year's program was ar ranged to include a study of the different types of drama and various nationalities. The following programs were presented by members of the club under the supervision of student directors: French Comedy- The Romancers, by Edmund Rostand. A program of English and American poems by the Rhythm Choir. American Fantasy- Six Who Pass While the Len- tils Boil, by Stuart Walker. American Tragedy- Where the Cross Is Made, by Eugene O'Neill. At the tirst meeting, the Russian comedy, The Marriage Proposal, by Anton Checov, was given by Miss Ferguson, Mr. Ralph Dorsett, and Mr. Robert Colvin. Candidates for membership were first tested for ability with eighteen being admitted. Officers were: President Doovid Barsking Vice-President, Pat Breedlove, Secretary- Treasurer, Mary E. Hendricks. Meetings were held in the auditorium immediately after school with a social hour following. During the year the club sponsored a sweater hop to raise funds.

The Inner Council was made up of one representative from each of the four classes, and the officers. The officers were: joe Prewitt, President: Rosemary Hendricks, Vice-President: joan St. john, Secretary-Treasurer. Voting contests proved popular under the sponsorship of the Council. The friendliest boy and girl in each class was discovered during the hrst contest. Later, contests for the handsomest boy and prettiest girl, the boy and girl most likely to succeed, and a posture contest followed. The Council provided ushers for all pay programs, arranged dancing classes for juniors and seniors, and did many other necessary things that came to their attention. This year the Council broke its several-year-old tradition of electing the Senior Class president as president of the Student Council. It was decided that since both of these are responsible positions, it would be better to divide the duties. Mrs. Prewitt and Mr. Gemmecke were the sponsors for both semesters. The junior High Student Council has functioned all year under the guidance of Miss Mae Kivett. Their chief purpose is to receive training for the Senior Council.

The lunch room is directed by Mrs. Myra Hochstetler, and under her management it is a self-supporting project. This year the accumulated pro6ts of five years were spent in refinishing the walls and ceiling of the room in ivory and dark tan. Since the food is sold at the lowest price possible, most of the profits are derived from the candy sales. Palatable, wholesome food and candy are the only kind found in this cafeteria. Local merchants are patronized by the cafeteria. All dairy products are obtained from Collier Brothers' Creamery, and breads from Wichs' Bakery. Other supplies are bought from local groceries, buying a month's supply at each of nine local groceries. Twelve girls in the foods class help Mrs. Hochstetler with the serving. The six girls helping the first semester were Opal Neal, Evelyn Stewart, Juanita Pryor, Elizabeth Baughman, Mary Irene Bader, and Anice Cobb. Those for the second semester were Marian Davee, Martha jean, Betty Carman, Mildred East, Mattie Kaylor and Marie Cramer. One credit a semester is given the girls for the two periods of their work, in addition to their daily noon meal. The cooks, Mrs. Harry Ennis and Mrs. john Bothwell, have been with the school for several years.

A group of home economics girls met at the first of the year and organized a club which they named the Future Homemakers. Any girl taking home economics or who had taken home economics during her high school term was permitted to join. They also adopted a constitution for the club. The purposes of the club are to promote friendship, perform services for the school, and to increase interest in home economics.

These delegates were Mary Shumaker and Marian Davee. Under the supervision of Miss Zaring a short course was held for a week at the activity period for the girls who wished to work in homes. This proved to be quite valuable information for these girls. Some other projects of the club have been making a scrapbook, putting a first aid table 'in the office, having exhibits in the halls, and helping with the posture contest by presenting the shadowgraph in the auditorium. Each period they have some club member in the office to take care of the first aid table and this has proved successful, indeed. 47 ROW ONE: Kaylor, M.

Baseball, track, and ballroom and tap dancing were the activities the Girls' Athletic Association carried on in the fall of this year. Later in the winter, soccer, volley ball, deck tennis, and dancing were in vogue. In the spring, the girls came out of doors again with tennis, baseball and track and field work. Awards were presented in the spring to the girls whose attitude and participation, not especially skill, were excellent. Ten girls for the first semester and ten for the second were presented with sweater emblems. Martinsville girls acted as hostesses to the Southport girls in observance of Playday. Later, the local organization attended a similar celebration in Southport. The ofhcers of the G. A. A. are as follows: Elizabeth Baughman ...................... .............

THE VARSITY George Pearcy proved to be the backbone of the team, being leading scorer, one of the best rebound men in the state, and a sterling defensive player. He was chosen as all-state center on the United Press's dream team. joe Prewitt proved effective in working the ball down the floor on fast breaks and also showed ability in long shooting. He was chosen on the all semi-final team. Harry Burleigh, in our estimation, was the best defensive man in the state. He held john Torphy and Lester Oliver, both leading scorers of their respective teams, without a field goal. His defensive play was an important factor in Martinsville's having a successful season. Bill Shane, although inactive the better part of the season because of injuries sustained in an automobile accident, came back brilliantly and played outstanding ball during the tournaments. Gene Weddle worked exceptionally well on the pivot and played good defensive ball all season. His will to win helped inspire the team on to victory in many contests. Mervin Carmen played on the Hrst live the hrst part of the season and proved to be very valuable in the pinches. In the Bloomington game he furnished the punch to win the game for M. H. S. Warren Cohen was very good defensively and played good ball when substituted. He showed up well against Spencer in the Regional, scoring seven points in about three minutes. Maurice Self, a veteran of four years' experience, was not eligible until the second semester and consequently did not see much action. When Prewitt went out of the Bedford game on four personals, Self was substituted and played very fine ball. Charles Neal was ineligible the Hrst semester but played quite a bit when he became eligible. He should be an important cog in next year's machine. Bob Scherer was a hard worker and a deadly long shot. He played well when substituted into the lineup. 53 IKW7 VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM RECORD Opponents M. O.
