Through me spirits immortal speak the message that makes the world weep, and laugh, and wonder, and worship. I tell the story of love, the story of hate, the story that saves and the story that damns. I am the incense upon which prayers float to Heaven. I am the smoke which palls over the field of battle where men lie dying with me on their lips. I am close to the marriage altar, and when the graves open I stand nearby. I call the wanderer home, I rescue the soul from the depths, I open the lips of lovers, and through me the dead whisper to the living. One I serve as I serve all, and the king I make my slave as easily as I subject his slave. I speak through the birds of the air, the insects of the field, the crash of waters on rock-ribbed shores, the sighing of wind in the trees, and I am even heard by the soul that knows me in the clatter of wheels on city streets. I know no brother, yet all men are my brothers, I am the father of the best that is in them, and they are fathers of the best that is in meg I am of them, and they are of me. For I am the imtmment of God. I Am Music DEDICATION O the Music Depart- ment of the Martins- ville High School, in recognition for their services to the school in making student life more attractive, and in tribute to the honor they have brought to our school, we, the Senior Class, do dedicate this, our 1941 Artesian. FOREWORD INCE this book is dedi- cated to the Music Department of our school, and since this year is recog- nized as Indiana year by music clubs of the state, it has been our policy to use the themes of Indiana composers on the division pages.

The officers elected for the year were janet Bailey, president, Margaret Ann Scherer, vice-president, Ruth Shane, secretary, and Drinette Scott, treasurer. The girls planned to sponsor stationery sales twice a year, in the fall and spring, and hold candy sales in the halls during noon hours. This was to raise funds to finance programs and social events. During the Christmas season a formal Blue Belle Ball was held to which the faculty, senior high students and their guests were invited. This was the outstanding social event of the year for the club. On February 26, the Blue Belles presented the Girls' League with outside person- alities.

Next year the girls hope to use the state point system which will make them eligible for state awards. In the fall they enjoy hikes, skating, tennis, and softball. Their winter sports are volleyball, basketball, deck tennis, and dodge ball. In the spring they work on tumbling for the May Festival, sponsored by the Physical Education Department. MAY FESTIVAL Although the Hrst May Festival was given only three years ago, this seasonal festivity has become an annual custom in M.H.S. Each class adds to the gayety of the evening by presenting a dance before the Queen of May and Her Court. Possibly the most popular part of the evening's entertainment is the tumbling acts, in which both boys and girls take part. The climax of the program is the traditional May Pole Dance. The May Queen and Her Court are chosen from the girls' physical education classes. This program is presented by the Physical Education Department, under the direction of Miss Mildred Shideler, girls' instructor. 40 ROWI --B. Burns, Vice President of Girls' League, J.

Champlin, President of Future Home Makers, R. Stout, President of Boosters, M. Knoy, President of Dramatics Club A new organization this year has been the Girls' League, which is composed of the girls of the senior high school. It meets each month. The objectives are: to develop a high moral standard for girls, to train for self- government, to develop a spirit of loyalty to the entire girls' student body, to encourage all activities of the clubs, to bring about an appreciation of the talents of girls and clubs, to distribute the offices so that there will be greater opportunity for developing leaders and finally to provide programs which will be of vocational, social, and cultural value. The meetings have consisted of: hrst, an organization meeting with election of officers and sign-ups for interest in clubs, the second, a style show and quiz program sponsored by Boosters and Future Hornemakers, the third, a talk on health by Miss Busse, county health nurse, sponsored by the Future Homemakers, the fourth, a mis- cellaneous program consisting of harp selections by Mrs. Merza Adams, readings by Mrs. Ray Arnold and music by a faculty orchestra, sponsored by the Blue Belles, the fifth, a style show with a talk by a stylist from Indianapolis, provided by the Future Homemakers, a sixth, a program given by the Dramatic Club and Girl Reserves. It consisted of a playlet given by the Dramatic Club, Bird on Nellie's Hat, and music by the Girl Reserves. The last meeting was a summary of the year's work and the election of oflicers. The success of the girls' program of the high school is due to the coordination of the clubs through the Executive Council which is composed of the League oflicers and presidents of the six girls' clubs. The practical work of the Council has been to: write a constitution for the League, schedule club activities and money-making projects thus eliminating conflicts between various clubs, plan orientation program for ninth grade girls for next fall, set up standards for evaluating the club program for the high school, consider requests for clubs for next year, plan division of responsibility for League programs, set up standards for girls as incorporated in the League constitution and plan a League picnic. The members of the Council feel that their weekly meetings have resulted in a bond of friendship and cooperative endeavor in representing the Girls' League. 41 if I ' i If Wei. ix 5 . v 5 ' ' If- 8 .

Robert Smith was elected president for the year and John Woods secretary-treasurer. Members of the club hold contests among themselves, but many enter local contests where their skill is shown by the fact that their models win many prizes. 44 .A Y I S J W -- 1f X I ff HARRY ROBINS Coach of Crow Country Team Auiitant Coarb of Track MARSHALL TACKETT Coach of Track Team RAY SCOTT Coach of Baxketball and Softball KENNETH OSTERMEYER Coach of junior High Bufketball TOP: Robinson, Skaggs, Cramer, Bastin, Champlin, Coach Scottg BOTTOM: Gray, Denny, Rowland, Lewis, Prestong SEATED: Gadd, Student Manager.

Witnessed this first day of May, 1941 The Senior Class of Nineteen Forty-one Signed, Daisy J. Piercefield, Harriette Fluke PROPHECY It was with some trepidation that I took my seat on that June day of 1951 amid the strange affair of rare metals, shining coils, and tubes that Professor Harold A. Baldwin called a Time Machine. Standing around the room were several distinguished students of science. There were Dr. John Lewis and his two assistants, the Misses Berenice Baker, and Harriet Fluke, the eminent history professor, Mr. J. A. St. John, Dr. Bob McNeff, and nurse Joyce Bales. Jim Bruce, newly appointed editor of the New York Times, was there with his star reporter, Miss Cora Bicknell. Gerald Johnson, ace cameraman, was also present. The professor's private secretary, Miss Juanita Clark, was ready to take notes on the proceedings. Finally the professor pushed a series of buttons and I felt myself hurled through time into 1953. I found myself on a street corner with a morning paper in my hands, and started reading it. The front page carried a story of a new musical play, starring Ruthie Shane, lovely dancer, that had taken Broadway by storm. There was an article about the infamous munitions manufacturer, Paul Bolt who had recently turned philanthropist. Turning to the Hollywood News, I saw where Max Leonard, Hollywood producer, had just finished a super comedy, The Rat Eater , starring Tater Swope, and directed by Paul Lynn. The political news startled me. Two of my former classmates, Bill Prather and Merrill Davee, were run- ning against each other for the governorship of Indiana. The society page furnished me with quite a view of the time. I saw where Mrs. Wm. G. Nutter Cthe former Harriet Ann DeTurkJ, entertained with a dinner party in honor of the Misses Eloise Greer, distinguished -concert pianist, and Ruth Goss, first flutist in the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. The Farm Bureau entertained the Women's Domestic Science Club with an ice cream social, and the new ofhcers for the year were chosen. The president of the Farm Bureau was Harold Crageng vice-president, Charles Lewis, and secretary-treasurer, Dorse Kitchen. The new president of W. D. S. C. was Anna Mae Hannag vice-president, Harriet Reynoldsg and secre- tary-treasurer, Betty Hill. The party was given partly in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Dilley fAnna Mae Mohlerj , who were celebrating their seventh wedding aniversary. I heard a radio blaring away in a parked car and stopped to listen. A saxophone player was getting off some hot licks and pretty soon a suave voiced an- nouncer, Jack Forbes by name, said we were listening to a musical program given by Virginia Staley, her sax, and her all-girl band. The program was sponsored by Elliott's Little Krunchy Korn Flakes. I reached into the car and turned the dial to a news broadcast. The news commentator, Charles Lewis, was just giv- ing his views on the world, when he was interrupted by a special bulletin: Ann Crain, noted vocalist, has announced that she will sing the 1955 version of He's in the Army Now on Charles Reed's Ritz Talent Show. Just then, I felt as if I were being pushed very hard, and surmised that the Professor had decided to move me on a bit into 1955. I found myself sitting in a chair in a smart salon with the sign, The Moderne Dresse Shoppe: Miss Bobby Tackett, Prop. Next to me was one of my old chums, Mable Baker. Mable started giving me all the latest. You knew that David Richardson has opened his new drug store. He has Charles Peterson at the soda counter, and Justine Collier, Betty Baugh, and Ginny Ballinger working for him. His wife is cashier. I was in 'there last night and saw Dorothy Kirk. She says that Ed Magee gave a big dance Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Gardner, Che married June Watsonj, were there, and Mr. and Mrs. Jim Maxwell, CDaisy Pierce- fieldl. Mrs. John Shireman CI-lazel Allenj gave a big dinner party at her lovely home for the former Bette Lucas, New York Society leader who is visiting her. I saw Barbara Sandy yesterday. She's been abroad with an orchestra. We've some new instructers at the high school. Bob Rowland is the new basketball coach, and his assistant is Floyd Preston. Eileen Morey is the girls' physical education teacher, and Betty Miller is in charge of the Domestic Science Depart- ment. Betty Rees has taken a job as court reporter in Indianapolis. The Memorial Hospital has a new superintentent, Janet Bailey, and her assistants are Betty Stewart and Rosemary Stout. O, yes, Maxine Ralstin just opened up a big boarding house and she has Eloise Land, Magaret Rose, and Juanita Moore, as we used to know her, helping her. The professor gave me another remote shove, and I found myself in 1956 sitting under a dryer in a Beauty Shop run by Kate Payton and Martha David In a similar position as myself, was Helen Herold, who is a partner in Herold's Service Station. I picked up a magazine and saw some beautiful art work done by Jay Naugle. Max Stultz, the great lumber king, had written an article for this magazine, telling about his rise to fame in the lumber business. He employs Kendrick Wampler, Charles Stroh and Gene Holler in his work. There is another feature story about Austin Gray, professional basket ball player. Marvin Ferguson, soil expert, writes on How to Get the Most out of Your Land , in collaboration with Maurice Curtis. Putting down the magazine, I picked up a news- paper and turned to the want ad columns. Here I saw that Strader and Maxwell Second-hand Car Sales, were sponsoring a big sale. James Crook, insurance salesman, had an ad for life insurance policies. The society page told me that Mrs. Don Kinton, the former Lois Green, entertained with an informal tea in honor of Miss Emmylou Powell, dramatic actress.. Miss Betty Champlin, noted pianist was present, and favored the guests with a few selections. Some members of the Young Women's Recreational Club enjoyed a dinner and show in Indianapolis. Among them were the Misses Winona Walker, Com- mercial Designer, Betty Pearcy, and Martha jean Kivett, and Mrs. Margaret Tackett Preston, stenog- raphers at the Scroggins Emporium. Two local mail carriers, Richard Rose and Kenneth Lowe had gone to New York City where they were attending the National Mail Carriers Convention. Their families went as far as Indianapolis with them. Miss Evelyn Collin, assistant director of the New Highland Sani- tarium, had recently resumed work after a two weeks' vacation. Making the front page was the news that Mr. and Mrs. jack Burpo were slightly shaken up when the car Jack was driving struck Bill Buis' car. The men came to terms before the arrival of the Chief of Police, Lester Castner. The place suddenly whirled around me and I found myself being ushered down the aisle of the James Russell Starr Theater by Robert Williams. I learned that the new projector was run by Calvin Landrum. james Newman, in a new musical drama was the main feature, while holding second place on the bill was Melvin Wratten, Tumbler and Juggler.. An animated cartoon by Bob Forbes was also shown. After the show we returned to 1951. As I climbed out of the Time Machine, I thanked Professor Bald- win and his co-workers and spent the next hour or so telling them of my many fascinating experiences. Then we all hastened to Delbert Williams DeLuxe Sandwich Shop for a hot dog. CLASS HISTORY One glorious day in the fall of 1957, Old Father Time presented the class of '41 to the realm of Martinsville High School. From that historic moment to our graduation in May 1941 the bewhiskered old gentleman was lost in the dust of the Forty-oners. OH! what a thrill to be a freshmen, 150 strong, in that large freshman assembly, with Mr. Dorsett as our sponsor. That year we chose our class colors of blue and gold. During the second semester we gave a party at which cokes and ham salad sandwiches were served. Square dancing and ball room dancing followed. It was during the first semester that we lost one of our best liked girls. We now pay tribute to her, Norma Jean Pennington. In our sophomore year we were separated into smaller home rooms, and our number decreased to 151. Miss Marion Ferguson and Mr. Evart Smith were our sponsors. Forest Decker was our class president. The Junior year was the busy year with more work and more responsibilites. We were now only 117 in number. Our class officers were president, john St. john, vice-president, Junior Savage, secretary, Bar- bara Sandy, and treasurer, Betty Pearcy. Mrs. Lida Prewitt and Mr. Marshall Tackett were our sponsors. One party was held, which was a great success. We all dressed as you could have seen us ten or eleven years ago. Cider and gingerbread were served, and there were lollipops in abundance. Our pictures were in the '40 annual. Did you them? Then came the junior class play entitled 'Spring Fever. Even Broadway cannot rival it! Miss Fergu- son directed the play with the aid of the other sponsors. The cast was composed of Ruth Shane, James Crook, Eloise Greer, Junior Savage, Harold Baldwin, Phyllis Anderson, Ruth Harriett Goss, Paul Bolt, Harriet Ann DeTurk, jim Bruce, Juanita Clark, and john St. john. May 10, 1940 was the night of the Prom. The setting was an old Southern garden. Chuck Smith and his orchestra furnished dance music. The queen of the Prom was Bernice Schoolcraft and Maid of Honor, Barbara Tackett. Attendants were Elizabeth Baughman, Martha Cox, Wilma Hiser, Sue Ann Dillender, Martha Edwards, Wilma Skaggs, Eloise Greer, Harriett Ann DeTurk, Ruth Shane, janet Bailey, Betty Miller, and Barbara Sandy. At last we became seniors! Our class officers were: president, Wm. Prather, vice-president, janet Bailey, secretary, Betty Pearcyg and treasurer, Bob Forbes. Miss Margaret Rose, Mr. Virgil Telfer, Mr. W, S. Harmeyer, and Miss Myngle Dorsett were our sponsors. We were now 101 in number. The class play, class day, class picnic and all the usual events of graduation comprise the remainder of the activities for the year, which will culminate in commencement night, May 28. Time and tide wait for no man. SEPTEMBER School started for the last time for one-hundred and thirteen seniors. Three new teachers this year. Artesian Herald free to all students this year. The P.-T.
