Rice, who, in his first year at Martinsville High School, has made such a wonderful beginning, we, the Senior Class, wish to dedicate this Annual. With the dedication go our best wishes for future years at M. H. S. as successful as the first indicates they will be. FCDREWCDRD In a year made noteable by the opening of two World's Fairs, showing the progress made by man in the last century. the Annual Staff gives you an- other year book that we hope will help bring to mind through pictures and writing, the things you did during the school year of 1938-1939, and the progress you made in contrast with previous years. It is our hope that you will derive as much pleasure from reading this annual and referring to it as we did in compiling it. ' -,AMKQIQNJT w N' if 'z tm, . .. ,-H .. , A- Q1--mf ,4 . . , Luft.

Their teacher, Mr. When G. I-Iochstetler, was delighted to have such an outstand- ing group. He is quoted as saying that it was the best-looking freshman class to en- ter M.H.S. that year. After recovering from their stage fright the class chose as ofhcers, Eugene Se- crest, president, Thelma Underwood, vice-pesidentg Freda Grass, Secretary and Je- rome Scheidler, treasurer. A very successful class party was held December 20. In the second year, the Sophomore year, the sophomores elected as their sopho- more officers, Sophomores Rosemary Hendricks, president: Francis Leach, vice-presb dent and Martha Newman, secretary-treasurer. Several attempts were made to hold a clam party, but none materialized. As Juniors, the class, now seasoned veterans, reelected to its board of control, Rosemary Hendricks, president: and Martha Newman, secretary-treasurer. Richard Hanna was chosen vice-president. This year the class was especially active. In November they embarked on an old-fashioned hayride to the home of Charles Miller, where a Weenie roast was en- joyed. On November 23, 1937, the junior class play, Growing Pains , directed by Miss Marian Ferguson, was presented before a large audience. Ward Hammons and Bertille LeMen were in the leading roles. This year, also, the class proved its versatility by stepping out of their true char- acters as diligent f???J scholars and assuming the roles of hoboes. Yes, hoboes. In order to raise money for the junior-senior reception, they were freed-I mean ex- cused-from school the aftemoon of April 11 to work at various odd jobs throughout the city, the money received being tumed over to the class. This innovation proved to be a great success, as about fifty dollars was made. Amid a setting of leafy bowers with stars iapparentlyj overhead, the junior-sen- ior prom was held May 20. The class concluded its Junior activities with a picnic at the state forest on the last day of school, May 27, 1938. Heading into the senior stretch in the fall of 1938, the class organized, headed by the fo'lowing Brain Trust: Ward Hammons, Grand Potentate: Richard Hanna, Second Fiddler, Martha Neal, Keeper of the Cash: and Maxine Buchanan, Chief Note- Writer. Norman Vemon was selected by Miss Stevens to edit the annual and Rich- ard Shufllebarger was business manager. Blue and gold were pressed into service as class colors. Ably piloted by the class sponsors, Miss Margaret Rose and Mr. R. R. Colvin, the Senior class presented the play China Boy the afternoon and evening of May 12. Finally, on the night of May 31, the one hundred seniors reached the termination lcollege word meaning finish! of their four years' upward struggle by being ejected -I mean graduated-from dear old M. H. S. This class attained the imusual, extraordinary, distinction of being the flrst class to graduate from Martinsville in 1939. Of this and our many other accomplishments we are justly proud.

Ariesian Staff The Artesian Staff submits to the students of Martinsville High School, for their approval, this 1938-1939 year-book. Norman Vernon was chosen the editor-in-chief of the staff and he and Miss Stev- ens, the faculty sponsor, chose the rest of the staff. They are as follows: Senior edi- tors, Rosemary Hendricks and Lou Ann Wilson, Class editors, Thelma Underwood, and Ruth Bange, Sports editors, Charles Smith and Herbert Brown, Club editors, Louise Major and Mary Flora Wilson, Editors of the Will, Catherine Hamilton and Bettie Jean St. John, Snapshot editor, Margaret Johnston, Faculty editors, Mary Katherine Avery and Mary Lou Swope. The class prophecy was written by Bertille LeMen and Ruth Douglas. Richard Shufflebarger was the business manager and Martha Ann Jean the cir- culation manager. Arlo Bowman, a Junior, and Miss Mildred Walker did the art designing while Ir- vin Voyles and Henry Goss are responsible for the mechanical art work. Although these people worked diligently to make this annual a success, others aided them in their work. The typists were Mary Shireman, Martha Neal and Sa- noma Maxwell and the salesmen were all members of the Senior class. For the first time, a Junior has been allowed to watch the process of the making of the annual. Thomas Hussey was chosen to represent his class and next year he will be experienced in this work. He will know where mistakes were made and how to avoid them. This plan was suggested by editors of former years and will be of great help to the following class. 37. 'E iournalism Club A Journalism Club was newly organized this year with the staff of the Artesian Herald as charter members. Later the group was increased to the number of thirty by the addition of members from the Junior and Senior classes. At the meetings held once a month panel discussions, reports on well known newspapers and newspaper men were given by members of the club. The guest speakers of the club were Mr. Sexton Humphries of the Indianapolis Times who spoke on the handling of foreign news by large newspapers, and Mrs. Mir- iam Swain, author of Smiling Hill Farm, a Junior Literary Guild book, who spoke on the writing and publishing of stories and books. The April meeting was held at the home of Mary Lou Swope near Brooklyn. The officers were Lou Ann Wilson, Presidentg Norman Vernon, Vice-President and Martha Newman, Secretary-Treasurer. In addition to the above activities those club members who were also on the Her- ald staif had as their duty the publication of the Artesian Herald, a bi-weekly, five column paper. A permanent editor was never appointed, but various members of the class served in that position. An innovation this year was a Swing column conducted by Bob Dixon, which has been widely read by all the little jitterbugs of Martinsville High School. Amus- ing articles have been contributed by Richard Shufflebarger, who is not a member of the class. Several teachers have also written special articles for the paper. Following the precedent set by former Herald staffs, they directed the collection and distribution of foods, donated by high school students for Christmas baskets at the holiday season. They also encountered the Future Farmers in a basketball game, the proceeds of which were contributed to the Christmas charity fund. Miss Hannah Stevens is the faculty adviser of the paper and club.

Qrchestra The orchestra shows many improvements due to the extra time allotted to music this year and the competent leadership of Mrs. Hazel M. Kelso, director, Small en- sembles and soloists from the orchestra have played for various civic-school and church functions this year. The entire orchestra played for the Junior class play and when the Seniors presented their annual play. The orchestra and band were hosts to the first district contest of the Southern Central Band and Orchestra Associations, April 22. The following students from orchestra participated in the State contest at Bloom- ington April 1: Thomas Hussey, Ruth Bange, Georgia Willan, Juanita Goss, Martha Alice Pitkin, Helen Herold, Eileene Adkins, Orajean Hickman, Virginia Burns, Mary Flora Wilson. The peak of the year's work will be reached when the first high school Alumni Orchestra plays for Commencement exercises May 31. The high school orchestra will give an informal reception for all alumni orchestra members in the new gymnasium after Commencement. 34 Row Row Row See. Row Abbott, son. Band 2- 3-Cunningham, B.

Under the capable leadership of their bandmaster, Vernon Spaulding, the band has steadily improved during the last eight months. They have helped pep up the bas- ketball team at all the home games and have helped give pep sessions. At the end of the semester, they enjoyed a penny-nite, at which everything cost a penny. The profits from this party went for a Senior-Alumni banquet to be held in April. Officers are as follows: president, Mary Flora Wilson, vice-president, Bob Ayres secretary-treasurer, Ruth Harriet Goss. The entire band competed in the District Band and Orchestra Contest for Class B Bands and Orchestras in April. This was held in Martinsville. The following students from Band participated in the State contest at Blooming- ton April 1: John St. John, trombone: Ruth Harriet Goss, flute: Emmylou Powell, French horny Don Ayers, drum: Barbara Sandy, clarinet: Barbara Stanton, clarinetg Enos Allen, clarinet: Charles Stierwalt, sousaphoneg Junior Savage, baritone: Thorn- ton Mosier, baritone.

The organization of the Latin Club of 1938 and '39, under the sponsorship of Miss Mae McCoy and Miss Lillian Hart, was more complex than in previous years. The classification of the members, as before, was based upon the three classes of the Roman state, the patricians, the equites, and the plebians. The third and fourthg year classes constituted the patrician rank, the second year students the equites or middle class, and the beginners the lowly plebians. A new plan was initiated this year by which all the members were subdivided into ten tribes under the supervision of a patrician censor. The tribe, which consists of about thirteen or fourteen members, provided a means of tallying votes and carrying on the business of the club in a speedy manner. The officers are as follows: Consuls-Richard Shuffiebarger and Billy Nutterg Praetors-Junior Hendrix and Mary Lou Swopeg Scriba-Virginia, Griggs: Quaestor-Bette Jean St. John: Aediles-John St. John, Junior Savage, Eileen Morey, and Eloise Greer' Tribune, Joan Isenhower. At the first meeting, the plebians were initiated with due rites and ceremonies into the club-namely, signing their names in blood in the official records of the R0- man state C you mean to tell me you thought it was only red paint? Such disbelievers --these younger cildrenll Kisisng the busts of Caesar and Cicero, and going under the yokes, yearly rites, ended the initiation. Cicero still has some lipstick on his hairless head fgrounds for scandal?J A night meeting was held in December to celebrate the Roman Saturnalia. cor- responding to our Christmas season. The exchange of sweets and small toys by the Romans has been the basis for our customs of presenting gifts at Christmas. Now- you see the Romans gave us more than Latin with its accompanying headaches. The Christmas assembly program was under the sponsorship of the Latin Club. A colorful program was presented with all three classes contributing portions. Hump- ty Dumpty, Jack and Jill, Little Miss Muffett-are we in nursery rhyme books? It's iust the Freshmen amusing us with familiar rhymes again half in English and half in Latin. Flickering candlelight, soft music, glittering tinsel and graceful motion char- acterized the Vestal Virgin drill given by nine patrician girls. Before the program progressed farther, Richard Shufliebarger spoke upon the customs of the Roman Saturnalia. This was followed by the presentation of a short play by the Sophomores, which told of the customs followed by Romans on Saturnalia, ending with the ap- pearance of that good old man, Santa Claus. Again the lights bum low and flickering candlelight catches the glittering tinsel refiecting it into the shadows-the Vestal Vir- gin lead as the carol in Latin accompanied by the entire club. But-best of all-San- ta, true to his reputation, gave everyone candy. The second night meeting was held near Valentine Day and was open to guests. Musical numbers were presented by members of the club. New song books were purchased this year and theMarch meeting was a song fest. Through the work of the Patrick Plebs, the Sophomore Colleens, and the Cicero Shamrocks iSisero-sounds betterl the club made S20 on a candy sale. The annual Roman banquet for the patricians was held by the plebs and equites during the Commencement season. This was the last social activity of the club 4- ending a year of fun-a year of importance for the Seniors, labor for the equites and headaches for the plebs. 36 Sodalitas Latina SENECA TRIBE Junior Hendrix, Censor Row 1-Forbes, Baugh- man, Shane, Allen, Comm, Row 2-Hendrix, Rice, Mor- ey, Powellg Row 3-Rich- ardson, Bolt, Forbes, Dailey LENTULUS TRIBE Louise Major, Censor Row 1-Knoy, Inman, Miller, Selchg Row 2-Maj- or, Brewer, Dillon, Wil- liamsg Row 3-Hammons, Young.

Future Farmers Learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, living to serve this is the motto that keeps all Future Farmers of America on their toes in their endeavor to live up to it. The local chapter is now four years old and is composed of boys enrolled in vo- cational agriculture. Virgil Telfer, their agriculture teacher, is also their adviser. Their services to the community this year have been many and varied. They in- clude such things as testing seed corn, treating seed oats, picking seed corn, landscap- ing, culling poultry and pruning fruit trees. They have competed in a pest eradica- tion contest with four other schools. To the school they have also rendered service. Through their infiuence a new motion picture machine was purchased by the school. They have made it possible for the student body to enfoy the use of it by showing pictures during the noon hour for the small admission fee of five cents or less. At Christmas time they contributed one hundred percent to the Christmas baskets and in addition played the annual basketball game with the boys of the journalism class. The proceeds of this game went to the charity fund. Their chief social activities have been a party with the Future Homemakersg a party for girl friendsg and a supper at which parents were the guests. Richard Hanna, a senior, has been accorded the State Farmer degree, being one of thirteen boys to receive this honor. During the summer this group enjoyed a four day trip to Chicago and plan a similar jaunt for the coming summer. Money for expenses was made by sponsoring The Renfro Valley Barn Dance of W. L. W. on March 30. They also send their newly elected president and another delegate to the annual state F. F. A. convention held at Lafayette. Officers this year are as follows: President, Charles Miller: Vice-President, Rich- ard Hannag Secretary, John Rawlins, Treasurer, William Prather, Reporter, Gerald Williamsg Chairmen of standing committees are: Eats, Delbert Williams: Games, For- est Fcwlerg Program, Richard Hanna. 38 lt? ,ak Row 1-Hendrix, Moore, Hodges.

It has as its purpose, To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Its slogan is Clean Speech, Clean Sports, Clean Scholarship and Clean Living. Consisting of forty-four members, the Hi--Y Club has been especially active this year. Under the guidance and supervision of Mr. J. B. Moore, it elected the following omcers early in the year. Charles Smith, President, Norman Vernon, Vice-President, Thomas Hussey, Secretary, Billy Wooden, Treasurer, Billy Nutter, Sergeant-at-Arms. Rev. J. D. McDonald was chosen as minister adviser early in the year. For its major activity of the first semester, the club collaborated with the Sun- shine Society in giving the annual Red and Blue Mixer. It also initiated the mem- bers of the newly formed Mooresville club. As its second semester activity the Hi-Y Club honored the basketball team at the end of the season with a banquet, at which the regular school awards were presented. In past years these awards have been presented without any ceremony. The club this year started a precedent by presenting a gold statuette to the play- er showing the cleanest sportsmanship during the year. It was awarded to Henry Pearcy. It is the hope that the Hi-Y clubs will continue making this award each year and that no boy will receive it more than once. Mr. Branch McCracken, head I. U. basketball mentor, was the chief speaker at the banquet. The club also held its annual picnic in May. 39 Sunshine Society Insert-Rosemary Hendricks, President.

Sunshine Creed With love in my heart, forgetting self, and with charity for all, I shall make the object of my life kindness and helpful- ness to others. I shall try to fit myself to give intelligent service in the making of my community a safer and more beautiful place in which to live. Thus will my own life become rich and com- plete. True to its purpose, the Sunshine Society has had many projects for spreading sunshine. Among the varied activities, were sending cards and flowers to the sick and sorrowing, bringing colorful baskets of flowers for teachers, donating and repairing clothing for others, giving Thanksgiving baskets, assisting Tri Kappas in their an- nual Christmas party for children, caroling, painting and giving doll furniture to four little girls at Christmas time, assisting in the Paralysis Fund Drive, donating to the Riley Hospital fund-the state project of the Sunshine Society-giving a program and party at the County Farm, giving a party for Junior High girls and paying the ex- penses of one girl to the summer camp at Camp Tecumseh. -ill Programs have been given by girls and outside speakers. Two highlights were the panorama given at the first of the year, showing the plans for the year, and the other a carnival given by and for the members of the society. Money making projects included sale of Eskimo pies and candy during the bas- ketball season, sales of pencils on which the basketball schedule was printed, Aunt Kate cookies and Christmas cards.

Mixed Chorus This group of vocalists with a membership of forty-two has been, this year, under the direction of Miss Doris Corns. In spite of the fact that no operetta was given, they have had a year filled with various activities. The first of these was participation in a massed chorus at the Indiana State Teachers Association in Indianapolis in October. In addition they presented a program at a Senior High convocation and furnished sev- eral numbers at a P. T. A. meeting. They have sung at the Methodist and Christian churches and at the meetings of several of the local clubs. The climax of the year's work was on May 9 when they participated in a. May Festival at Greencastle in conjunction with Crawfordsville, Frankfort, Bedford and the host school. The day was spent in practice by the united group and at night a concert was presented to the public. 42 Row 1-Bette Jean St. John, Muriel Pearcy, Lois Maxwell, Rosemary Hendricks, Mildred Robinson.

Commercial Students of the commercial department began the year of 1937-1938 with a spirit of determination which carried through the entire school year. The two preceding classes of 1936 and 1937 had each won the Governor's Cup, the award made to the school scoring the greatest number of points in the state commercial contest. The Cup becomes the permanent possession of the school winning it three consecutive times. All that remained to win it permanently for Martinsville was for the students to once again score first in the annual state contest. This they did, making more points than had ever been made by Martinsville and more than twice as many as the second-place school in the contest. The team members and placings were: Beginning Typing-First-Mary Irene Bader, Rosemary Hendricks, Bette Jean St. John. Beginning ShorthandfSeconde-Rosemary Hendricks, Lucille Hickman, Sanoma Maxwell. Advanced Typing-Third-Mary Elizabeth Hendricks, Dorothy Holsapple, Mildred Robinson. Advanced Shorthand--First-Mary Elizabeth Hendricks, Dorothy Holsapple, Betty Parker.

Individual placings were: Advanced Shorthand-Mary Elizabeth Hendricks, First, Dorothy Holsapple, Second. Beginning Typing-Rosemary Hendricks, Second. Beginning BookkeepingfDorothy Holsapple, Sixth. Beginning Shorthand --Rosemary Hendricks, First: Lucille Hickman, Third. Advanced Typing-Mildred Robinson, Sixth. Business Aptitude+Mary Elizabeth Hendricks, Fifth. Since there are so many entries in the contests, the state recognizes the first six placings both as to teams and individuals. Some idea. of the number entered may be gained from the following tabulation: Beginning Typing, 2083 Beginning Shorthand, 1533 Beginning Bookkeeping 192: Advanced Typing 1083 Advanced Shorthand, 633 Business Aptitude 54. 43 Cafeteria The high school cafeteria is one of the spots that' is always shown to visitors be- cause of its bright cheerful appearance and its sparkling cleanliness. At the noon hour it is the busiest place in school, for it serves to teachers and students wholesome and appetizing food at the lowest possible prices. Mrs. Myra Hochstetler, manager, has always made it a point to patronize local dealers as much as possible. The milk and dairy products are obtained from Collier Brothers' Creamery and the bread from Wich's Bakery. Nine local grocery stores share in furnishing the other products. Each is patronized for one month. Mrs. Ira Ennis and Mrs. John Bothwell have had charge of the preparation of the food. Six girls selected from the Foods class each semester help in the serving. The first semester group, this year, consisted of Beatrice Durham, Harriet Fluke, Na- omi Moreland, Lida Stanger, Olive Whitesill and Betty Stewart. During the second semester Lillian Baker, Hazel Dilley, Lois Hammons, Mary Katherine Sink, Evelyn White a.nd Betty Griffen comprised the sewing group. For their services they receive one credit toward graduation and their noon meal. Elizabeth Baughman has had cnarge of a thriving business at the candy counter. Students and teachers can buy here their favorite candy bar at the regular retail price. The cafeteria is self-supporting, but since the prices of foods are low very little profit is made. However, anything left over the cost of running expenses is used to improve the appearance and convenience of the Cafeteria.

Future Homemakers The Future Homemakers have as their purpose service to the school and the community, self-improvement, and increased interest in home making. The year was started with a hay-ride in two large hay-wagons with the Future Farmers as guests. This terminated in a weiner roast with Mary Shumaker and: Bet- ty Miller as hostesses. In October, the club sponsored a Good Grooming program for all girls, at which an out-of-town speaker presented a skit and a style show of school clothing. During the Christmas season, the Future Homemakers cooperating with the Sun- shine Society gave a Christmas program and tea. The Homemakers and the G. A. A. sponsored a Christmas Sweater-Hop for the entire school. Each guest brought a top for a toy-exchange and after playing with the toys during the evening, the girls turn- ed them over to a committee which distributed them among children who otherwise would not have had any Christmas. The Brooklyn Homemakers were hostesses at a boy friend, girl friend box supper held in the Brooklyn school house. In the future the Homemakers plan to sponsor an all-school party as well as an event honoring the seniors and a style-show for the mothers.

Girls' Athletic Association A healthy mind in a healthy body might well symbolize the purpose of the Girls' Athletic Association.Twice a week after school twenty-five Senior high and twenty Junior high girls meet in the 61d gym to play under the supervision of Miss Mildred Shideler, the health and gym instructor. Although this is her first year here, she has proved a most able supervisor. Every contest is entered into with a great desire to win, but with an even greater desire to win fairly or lose with grace. They have staged tournaments among them- selves in ping pong, volley ball, shuflleboard and basket ball. Some of the girls swing a mean right with the ping pong paddle-maybe the boys had better look to their laurels. The Senior High portion of the club recently joined the State G. A. A. League, which is composed of seven or eight clubs from various high schools. The purpose of this league is to sponsor state play days for the girls. It is a flourishing organi- zation, which allows clubs from all over the state to meet and have a day of whole- some fun. The Hammond club edits the monthly paper of the League, which is called Sportingly Yours . This paper publishes news of the functions of the various clubs in the League-thus binding the association closer together. But the club doesn't spend its time indoors. Several hikes have been taken with no casualties except, perhaps, sore feet and aching legs-nothing that a soft bed couldn't remedy. Lollipops and hair ribbons-has someone turned back the clock? No, just those girls again-this time holding a kid party instead of a Valentine party. 46 C 'xr- ha.- RAYMOND SCOTT, Athletic Director Raymond Scott, a graduate of Franklin College and a former student at Indiana State and Butler, has this year piloted his first Martinsville High team. In his pre- vious eleven years coaching experiences may be included four years at Monrovelle, four years at South Port, three years at Huntingburg, and one year at Technical. His record in these schools has been exceedingly good, and another year here will give him opportunity to show what he can do with an experienced team. For when the one great scorer comes to write against your name, he writes not that you won or lost, but how you played the game. Marshall Tackett is a former graduate of Martins- ville High School. He received his B. S. degree at Butler University where he was honored by being named All American back guard. His first teaching and coaching assignment was in the local high school in 1937.

VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM We pay the highest tribute to the varsity of 1938 and 1939. Taking in consider- ation that they were an inexperienced team, we think they have improved much since the beginning of the year. Since none of the team will be lost through graduation, we will expect much out of them next year. VARSITY SCHEDULE Martinville . . ...... 23 Greencastle Martinsville . . . . 37 Bedford . . . .

Onlookers will be entertained with such features as the 100 yard dash, 220, 440, mile, pole vault- ing, the broad jump and the high jump. Marshall Tackett is the man with the ferrule this year. Competition hails from such sources as Plainfield, Corydon, Shelbyville, Greencastle and Bedford. Twelve points won by graduating boys nets them a sweater, and from the gen- eral appearance of the competition, sweaters are going to be prized possessions. 53 Yell Leaders Left to rightkL.'lora Cordes, John Shireman, Fred Johnston, Margaret Johnston 5 4 13- .

VVelI, here we are. Some new faces and just a lot of old faces and plenty of sad fac- es. Many changes meet the eyes of those who had been here before-a new principal, Mr. J. C. Rice must withstand the critical gaze of 800 pairs of wondering eyes-five new teachers must be noticed and commented upongnow, there is, Miss Shideler, who has taken over the health instruction of the girls and physical education instruction of our little females-then there is Miss Sparks, who is the new commercial teach- er, and who has recently consented to teach Saf- ety to the Senior girls-then we have Mr. J. C. Rice, teaching algebra to first year students-he just isn't content with all the worries of the principalship-then we have a new coach, who teaches the basketball boys what to do and when to do it and just how to hit that little basket- and then there is Miss Underwood, the new math teacher who hails from the South-yes, mam! Thus most of September was taken up with be- cominff acquainted with the new faces that this year had brought to M. H. S. At this time our ventilating system was only on paper, and as yet no deafening noises disturbed our pearceful day dreams. Our library was placed in Room 22 and Miss Martha Moore became the librarian. A new office girl, Glendvn Younven, a member of the 1938 Senior class, was initiated into all the worry and bustle of office work. Ward Hammons was elected the President of our mighty Senior classfso on to October. OCTOBER, 1938 Guy celebrated his sixteenth birthday this month-Guy who? Why one of thirteen people! Jvst one of the 'Guys' Mrs. Breedlove entertain- ed the high school with a wonderful recital upon her new electric organ. A small ray of sunshine bursts upon the gloom of the daily grind-two davs' vacation for the State Teachers' Associ- ation. Back to school and dreams about Thanks- giving. Mixed Chorus presented a musical pro- gram at Shortridge High School. The Home Eco- nomics delegates made a trip to Indianapolis. 'They had a line time. The knitting bug has bit- ten every girl in high school-eh, bovs? Do you have a date with a girl or a knitting needle? Miss Rose has been unanimously elected as the chief picker upper of stitches which have been lost in the struggle. The Junior High girls have formed ac lub of knitters. Guess who their sponsor is? VVell, it is no other than the P. U. S. W. H. B. L. I. S.-if you don't know what that means read the whole article over-I guess that fixes you. Long faces and Worried eyes tell me that grades have come out-you can't go home with those grades '?-well, better luck next time. After a scorching election, full of politics and seething with excitement Donald Kinton was elected the president of the Junior class-no sooner was he elected than the Senior class, one and all proceeded to tell him what they wanted for a Prom-Got a headache, Don? NOVEMBER, 1938 A group from Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music gave an excellent program the first of this month. 'Member the Red and Blue Mixer? Orchids tif we had anyl to the Sunshine and Hi-Y for such a swell party! Another musical program was presented by the chorus from the Women's Club of Martinsville. The various clubs of high school began to function and their vari- ous programs began to take shape. Sunshine ini- tiated its new members in the auditorium of the Christian Church-a tea was held in the din- ing room after the service. The F. F. A. initi- ation was held with accompanying shouts and singing-these farmers certainly have strong lungs Chog calling, no doubtj. Several students attended the national press convention in Indi- anapolis-you'll just have to see Mary Lou or Mary Katherine about further details, because we didn't go, so we don't know anything about it. The Armistice Day program was very im- p'ressive, but do the students know that you don't applaud for the Lordis Prayer? 7 ? If they don't, well, it's time they learned it just isn't done. By the way, many stirring events took place cn or around that day-le's seeeour first basketball game was played with Greencastle lwe lost, but the boys showed they had plenty of spunkl--then on the day before Woo Anne blew out seventeen candles on her burfday cake --that is. she would have if she had had a cake. Yes, another vacation came and went-Thanks- giving with turkey and all the trimmings. Now we can spend our time looking forward to Christmas vacation when Santa Claus comes around and brings presents to all the good little boys and girls. DECEMBER, 1938 Latin Club gave a Christmas play, and also presented the Christmas program for the high school. It was given on -December 17 and was held in celebration of the Roman Saturnalia, which was the same festival as the English Christmas. I'm not so dumb, you see. The girls of the Cicero class gave a Vestal Virgin drill, and the rest of the program was presented by the first and second year students. The entire club serenaded the school with the Christmas carols in Latin. They gave away candy, too! ain't we got fun? Indiana Day was celebrated at Martinsville I-Iigh school for the first time this year. The program was under the supervision of the Senior class. If you want to know wheth- er Martinsville has an Indiana flag, don't ask Louise Major-she knows all about it. A dance was given by the farmers and the little home makers -what about Wilma and Charles? The annual exhibition of how not to play basketball was given by the Journalism class and the Fu- ture Farmers in a basketball game for do you have another name for what they did? Person- ally, I'd vote for ring around the roses. What do you think? No answer required.J The proceeds from the mighty struggle went to the charity fund. I really couldn L say who won that game, I don't think they know themselves. We-e-e-l, Christmas is upon us, and we do wish you and you and you a very merry Christmas, and oh such a happy New Yearfand I do mean you. 1Say I sure hope Sandy Claus was around to hear that: I need a little boost with the old man. Weel, here's to the New Year. .An JANUARY, 1940 At last we have found a use for the ventilat- ing system! We got an extra day of vacation, because there was no heat in the building. I just hate myself for not wanting to come back. Wasn't it just too bad? The New Year's Day Blind Tournament was held on New Year's Day -Isn't that the queerest thing ?-that is, it was held on January 1, or the first day of the new year. iYou had better read it twice, and then if you can't understand it, don't let it worry you. Franklin won the tournament-those Grizz- lies certainly knew how to snag those buckets. The 1939 season for Hi-Y, Sunshine, F. F. A. and P. T. A. were introduced this month. The Sunshiners sold cookies, or should I say Drin- ette Scott sold cookies? I think she sold some 72 dozen. Lookie, Lookie, here comes Cookie. I know it isn't funny, so don't tell me about it. The Seniors, 52 of them, rather, had a high, old time at their class party. Then the Juniors pre- sented their bloodcurdling spine-tingling dra- matic offering for the year. Four bells to Vir- finia Griggs and James VVright, the blushing heroine and the thrilling hero respectively. Other famous spotlieht hounds, who gave their all to the plav were, Thomas Hussey, Marjorie Wil- linms, Martha Cox, Mattie Kaylor, Edward El- liott, frernember the bues?J and Bernard Shaw. Sav. Pernie. didn't vou hit your head nretty hard on that box? You believe in realism in a realis- tic manner, don't you? FEBRUARY, 1939 February was initiated with a band party- each member having to pay a penny for every inch around his waist. Some of the admission must have run up into dollars, Now don't you wish you hadn't made such pigs of yourselves? The moral of this is never to take that second helping. We ended our basketball season as it began, with a defeat-never mind, boys, you still have a year ahead of you. We can say our boys were always in there fighting, and when they did get started no one could have beaten them. Authorities tme and a few other peop- liesi agree that they played their best game against Washington-the rumors are that Mc- Cormick had the basket charmed-he just couldn't miss. The team won six games on their schedule and we iust want to warn their future opponents to watch out, because with a few more inches in both directions, our team will show them how it's done. The Senior govern- ment classes visited the State legislature and gave talks at the Harrison home. Their talks were prepared bv Dr. Ross Lockridge and I ex- pect every one in school heard all the talks at one time or another, but they were not officially presented to the student body. So you think that we couldn't have written such good speeches? Well, I don't know about that, I ain't saying we could, but I ain't saying we couldn't. The Yellow Issue of the Herald was edited by Ho Ho Wilson---she was the editor-in-thief- fthat's not a typographical errorl It wasn't any good, ithe Herald, I don't mean what I wrote'?l Now you know why it wasn't, This marriage business is getting to be fashionable. MARCH, 1938 We had the sectionals here, but Bloomington had us. This is the fourth time Qin how many years is ity we have lost the sectional, but I guess there has to be a fourth time for every- thing. We have to give them a chance once in a while. We'll tix them next year. If we're not happy, we are at least generous about the whole thing. A group of Senior High girls gave a pep session for the team under the sponsorship of Miss Hart. Those little feet of rabbits just did- n't work-our luck wasn't going right then. We had our iirst Tuesday morning chapel meeting this month-remember, Live today and live it right? Don't feel too bad if you did forget it, for it's never too late. Your little playmate wonders if there will be a senior class for next year. Most of them are getting married. It is getting pretty bad when the Freshmen start getting married! I was fioored! Where does that put the Senior girls? Right behind the eight ball, no doubt. Dou you suppose the Senior girls just love school so much they wouldn't quit to be married or do you suppose-??'??? Oh, dear, Fm afraid that's true. APRIL, 1939 April Fool. It's me again remembering for you. This was the months of contests. The school participated in the Art, Commercial, Latin and Band contest. It must be a terrible strain to be intelligent to an excessive degree. It means a lot of work for some people-we wouldn't know Qvoice of the great middle classj. So, on to the state, you Romans, musicians, artists and secretaries. Do your best for M. H. S. There 1 go againefthat was the poetry coming out. The Sunshine Convention was held at Newcastle, the City of Roses. About twenty students of the Martinsville chapter attended this gathering. You'1l have to ask Burtle about itfshe really gets around, doesn't she? Only a few more Weeks of school left for the seniors. Do you sup- pose they Will have the heart to have school af- ter we are gone. There just won't be anything to live for then. I-li-Y gave a banquet as a tri- bute to the teamflvlargaret and Virginia just r'ouldn't see why they Weren't invited. Now you mustn't he selhsh about this, girls. Do you think you are married to them-or are you? Oh, un- happy thoughts. I think I'll write an essay on why old maids or the forgotten women aren't happy. Voice of experience MAY, 1939 School is almost over and the spring days are inviting' to hookey players. It's not so bad wait- ing for the doors to open in the morning. April showers bring May flowers, but they brought a May festival to M. H. S. It is a musical festival under the direction of the music department. China Boy, the Senior class play, was presented by a brilliant cast twhat else could it be?J It was a performance worthy of our outstanding class. 1That will be one nickel, please.J The Junior-Senior Reception was held in the gymnas- ium on the night of May 19-thanks, Juniors, for a swell send off. Class day was presented by the Seniors, and the Junior class took the plac- es of the Seniors, or should I say the remnants of the class took our places. Buckets of tears were shed-whether in gladness or sadness, I never could ligure out. Well, luck to you Jun- iors and you had better watch out or the love bug will riddle your class more than it has now! Baccalaureate and Commencement were held with accompanying tears and sad partings. An- other year is gonefa year full of fun, It's your turn now, so take heed of our mistakes and more power to you. We leave you a sadder, but wiser group of little boys and girls. 1 1 'E 2 iz 5 'G 5 1 Q Q 'I is e ! vi l 5, '1 G is 'Q je, v fl 3 vw
