Basketball I-2-3-4; Softball 2-3-4; Track 4 A Backward Glance At last we were Freshmen! Lt seemed to us that the day would never come! And now in almost no time we are seniors, 100 strong. That day so long looked forward to is upon us, and as we go on toward it we cast a backward look rather wistfully! If we could only be freshmen again, and have that green freshman look. With that frame of mind and station, we would play joyfully throughout the year, with never but one serious thought in our minds. What is that? Why, electing officers like the big folks. Well, who shall be our officers? Don Baston is very good-looking, and he ' d be a good one, too. Let ' s nominate him. In this manner, we name our officers. They are Don Baston, presi¬ dent; Charles Stierwalt, vice-president; Harriet Duckworth, secretary-treasurer. And now we think since we can ' t be Freshmen, how grand it would be if we could be Sophomores. We know everything, then. Don Baston is still rather handsome, so let ' s nominate him again. In this way, we elect our Sophomore officers. We think Charles Stierwalt is good-looking, too, because we change only our secretary-treasurer. This office falls to capable Dale Maxwell. This year we also have a party. Since it looks as if our wishes to be Sophomores again cannot be realized, we gladly change places with the Juniors. As Juniors we are becoming a little more serious, aided, perhaps, by the war. Al¬ though the unrest of the world disturbs us, we carry on as usual. In our elections we choose Bob Barnard for president; Bill Hasting for vice-president; Joan Wampler for secretary; Mary Jane Jackson for treasurer. This year we present our class play, which is New Fires . We also entertain the seniors at the annual prom. However, we must resign ourselves to being sen¬ iors, and as such we attack all problems with due thought. We elect officers. They are Don Baston another third term president; Roy Winkler, vice- president; Mary Jane Jackson, secretary; Barbara Bain, treasurer. As we go on through our last year, we carry out the activities of seniors. Each activity brings a new meaning in our lives, and we hope to leave our school a little better for our having been here. 18 A Glimpse Into The Future (M. H. S.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA We are part of a national organization which reaches from the State of Washington to Puerto Rico and from the State of Maine to Hawaii. During the past year we have been very active and taken part in many school activities. Compet¬ ing with Hi-Y we gave a benefit basketball game to collect money for the infantile paralysis fund. We also took part in the district public speaking, essay, and pest contest. This year we have three Hoosier farmer candidates. Included in our night meetings this year we held our annual parent night, which was well attended. We sponsored a bond and stamp drive within our own chapter which proved very successful. We meet every day at the activity period and hold our regular night meeting once every two months. At the present our chap¬ ter consists of seventeen regular members and eleven green hands. The Martinsville Chapter of Future Farmers is honored to have, Bill Prather, a former member, as State F.F.A. president for the second consecutive year.

SUNSHINE SOCIETY The Sunshine Society has as its purpose cheery helpfulness. The girls in the club try to spread good cheer and to pattern their lives after the Sunshine Creed. The activities for the year began with the Riley program. From this memorial service the girls col¬ lected $6.1 I for the Riley Hospital. They had their initiation at the Christian Church with a tea for the mothers; and later the annual Thanksgiving baskets were given. At Christmas time, Hi-Y and Sunshine went caroling in the halls. Christmas cards were sent to soldiers at Camp Atterbury and to the in¬ mates at the County Farm. In the spring the girls crocheted an afghan for the Veterans ' Hospital and donated clothing to the poor. They pledged themselves to buy a bond, and the year ' s program was brought to an end with a meeting honoring the seniors and a party revealing the ideal ladies. 40 THE LEGIO DECIMA The Legio Decima is composed of fifty-one mem¬ bers of the Latin department. It meets each sec¬ ond Wednesday of the month. Dues are ten cents a semester. This year the club elected the following officers: Imperator: Elizabeth Hanna Scriba: Lois Congram Quaestor: Vera Ames Legati: Bruce Baker, Shirley Grotendick, Betty Waycott, and Emma Jane Cooksey. At each meeting an excellent program was given dealing with Roman life or mythology. At the Christmas meeting the club sang Christmas carols in Latin. The February program was given by the sophomores. Poems about mythological characters and a playlet showing the great number of English words derived from Latin were given. A quiz pro¬ gram on classical characters was given by the fresh¬ men in March. The club has prepared a collection of insignia of the armed forces that have Latin mottos. They ended a very successful year with a club party. ROW I—Vera Ames, Richard Atherton, Bruce Baker, Peggy Beggeman, Jean Bennett, Nina Brummett, Lois J.

In September the following officers were elected: president, Bob Barnard; vice-presi¬ dent, Mary Margaret Griggs; secretary-treasurer, Audrey Lemons; news reporter, Ruth Jean Elliott. Operetta, one of the high lights of the year, was canceled on account of war activities. However, the club substituted a Slap Stick Comedy pro¬ gram to keep up the pep and enthusiasm in the chorus. Eighteen students sang in the all State Chorus at State Teachers Association in October. Stu¬ dents who sang were Bernice Moore, Margaret Ann Scherer, Barbara Bain, Betty Dailey, Norma Epley, Bob Bryant, Marjorie Cramer, Joan Wampler, Audrey Lemons, Rosemary Walton, Scherrill Lisher, Mary Alice Hensley, Bob Hodges, Thomas Costin, Walter Calvin, Bruce Baker, and Charles Hancock. Owing to transportation difficulties, the Spring Choral Festival will not be as large as it was last year. The chorus will participate in a festival either at home or at some nearby school. In keeping with the times, the chorus has sung many patriotic songs of the United States and our allies. The B-Natural Club is directed by Mrs. Hazel Kelso. 42 Helen Tackett,.

BAND For the school year 1942-43, the Martinsville High School Band took the motto MUSIC FOR MORALE . In all its activities the band attempted to make some contribution to the war effort. With the cooperation of the orchestra and the swing band, concerts were given at which defense stamps were sold as tokens of admission. Songs of a pat¬ riotic nature were stressed at every public appear¬ ance, especially the service songs of the army, navy, marine, and air corps. At the same time, the band continued in its usual role of a school service organization. The band was present at all home basketball games, parading and making letter formations at a few of them, in order to stimulate and entertain the crowd. The band also played for many assemblies and pep sessions. In the spring of 1942, the Martinsville High School Band placed in first division in the district contest at Sullivan, going on from there to win second di¬ vision honors in the state band contest at Craw- fordsville. Members of the band who won first places in the 1942 solo contest were Dwight Pitkin, Gordon Gray, James Silver, and Margaret Ann Scherer. The band was organized on a military basis this year for the first time. Top sergeant for the first semester was Charles Stierwalt with Bill Hastings as technical sergeant in charge of the marching band. For the second semester, Dwight Pitkin was top sergeant and Charles Hill technical sergeant. Other sergeants were Tom Costin, Dale Maxwell, Bill Shufflebarger, Phyllis Forbes, Joe Martin, and James Thacker. 46 THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The High School Orchestra is made up of mem¬ bers from both the Junior and Senior High. There are fifty-three members. The following officers were elected at the beginning of the school year: Presi¬ dent, Charles Hancock; vice-president, Dwight Pit¬ kin; secretary-treasurer, Rosemary Smith. The high¬ light of the orchestra ' s year is the Band and Orches¬ tra Contest. Owing to the transportation shortage the orchestra will have to be judged at home this year. Many students from the orchestra entered the Solo and Ensemble Contest at Terre Haute April 3. The Symphonettes , made up of first chair play¬ ers, gave a program on Romantic Music before the Women ' s Symphoney Unit, at Mrs. Cohn ' s on March 23. The orchestra is always ready to furnish music for assembly programs, class plays, and civic meetings. The only out of town program this year which the orchestra gave was before the Class Room Teach¬ ers ' Session at State Teachers ' Association at Cadle Tabernacle. Mrs. Hazel Kelso directs the orchestra. VIOLINS: Firsts.

THE HANDICRAFT CLUB The Handicraft Club was organized the first of the school year with Miss Georgia Moore as sponsor. Officers were elected as follows: president, Joanne Hickman; vice-president, Violet Lehr; secretary, Geneva Spradling; treasurer, Mary Ann Stewart. The Handicraft Club meets twice a month during the activity period. As any other organization the Handicraft Club has tried to help in the war effort. As the first project they made baby gowns for the Red Cross. As a second project they sent over ten dollars worth of magazine subscriptions to Camp Atterbury for the Camp lounge and hospital. The Handicraft Club and Dramatics Club, both composed of Freshman girls, joined together the first of the school year and sold basketball sched¬ ule pencils. Not all of the time was spent on these war projects. The girls also made things for them¬ selves. At the first meeting the girls made lapel pins to wear on their coats and dresses. THE FOUR-M CLUB The Four-M Club started this year under a new supervisor, L. O. Young. The club had a member¬ ship of thirteen Freshman boys whose purpose was, to unite worthy Freshmen boys in a fellowship that will strive to raise the standards of industry, con¬ duct, and service in Martinsville High School. The four M ' s in the platform are: Merit, Modesty, Morals, and Motive. The name, purpose, platform, and emblem of the club were selected by the boys in the present Senior class when they were Freshmen. The club ' s activities of the year consisted chiefly of the salvaging of bottle caps and the collection of clothes hangers for use at Camp Atterbury.

CAFETERIA One of the finest student training centers in Mar¬ tinsville High School is the cafeteria. It is not only a factor in building sound nutritional habits among students, but it offers one of the greatest oppor¬ tunities for real service and training for future liv¬ ing. While these girls prepare the food for more than two hundred teachers and students daily, they are learning good working procedures, developing speed and skill, and raising their standards in the preparing and serving of meals in general. This year the Cafeteria has averaged better than 4000 meals per month. Meals were served during the Sectional Tourney and 140 meals were served to the local team between the Sectional and Regional Tournaments. Mrs. Myra Hochstetler has charge of the cafe¬ teria in addition to her classes in foods in the Junior and Senior High. She is assisted by Opal Smith and Louise Skaggs who prepare the food and man¬ age the kitchen. Mrs. John Bothwell and Mrs. Ira Ennis have acted as substitutes in the cafeteria this winter. Miss Opal Gray, Junior high teacher of mathe¬ matics, acts as cashier and checks the lunches at the end of the line. In the kitchen Marie Mills, Geraldine Bennett, Virginia Julia Kindred, and Dorothy David assist in the cleaning up of the cafeteria. An additional activity in which the cafeteria management is interested is the candy sales. Col¬ leen Hacker and Nadine Swinney have been in charge of the candy counter. SPORTS CLUB The girls ' Sports Club of Martinsville High School was organized last year for the benefit of girls in¬ terested in sports activities in addition to the regu¬ lar physical education program. Membership is open to any girl taking physical education. The activities of the club include monthly busi¬ ness meetings, a skating party, sponsoring noon dancing, and competition within the club in various sports. The sponsor is Miss Elnora Curtis.

He is a likeable fellow and beams with vitality. This man is twenty-eight year old Pat Malaska, who in his first year as coach here has brought his team through to win the South Central Conference and in tournament play to go as far as the semi-finals. Pat coached at Fairmont for three years. He found this place very much to his liking, especial¬ ly a certain young woman who is now Mrs. Ma¬ laska. He then went to Bicknell, where he coached the team to its first sectional champion¬ ship in the school ' s history. Our hats are off to the little man who is always there with encouraging words and inspiration that mean nothing else but victory. When he became coach at Martinsville last fall, he realized one of his life ' s ambitions. PAUL D.

When the going gets tough and the Artesians are n ' t doing so well, he calls time out and gets the team back on their feet. Sam was also captain of the team last year. He has played three years of good ball on the varsity, this being his last year. RALPH ROBINSON Ralph has played on the var¬ sity three years. He has had a good season all three years. He plays guard and has a very good long shot. He is left handed and can toss in some pretty one hand shots. This is his last year. ROY WINKLER Roy is a hard fighting sub. He can hold his own while on the floor and has a good push shot. He seems to get down the floor with no effort at all. He plays either forward or guard. Roy is a senior. BOB WATSON We call Bob Curly because of his straight hair. Bob is a smooth ball handler, keeping cool when he should. He is one of those boys who use their heads in a game. He has some really good jokes. Bob is generally substituted as guard. Watson will graduate this year. MELVIN PAYTON Melvin is the bean pole of our team. He is 6 ' 2 and can take the ball off the bank board. Melvin plays center. He has a dead long shot and a fine arching pivot. He played on the team last year, this present year, and will be here next year. HUGH RUTLEDGE Hugh is the sweetest little ball player you ever did see. He plays forward and when he gets set to shoot you can mark up two points. You can always tell him on the floor by the way he smiles. This is his first year on the var¬ sity and he has made his record. He is a Junior this year. DONALD FISHEL Fish is a junior and this is his first year on the varsity. He is an excellent guard and has held all of his opponents to very few bas¬ kets. He will be with M. H. S. next year. WILLIAM MORELAND Moreland is a small boy with a nice build. He is fast and is not afraid to mix it up. This year he is a sophomore. Next year he should be a mainstay with the team. He plays guard. GENE MILLER Gene is even taller than Payton. Miller is a sophomore and ought to turn out to be a tough center. When he gets mad, he can really go in there and pitch. JACK GRIFFIN Jack has what you call vitality. When he enters the game, he worries his man plenty. He is quick as lightning, and can tie a man up before he knows it. He is a good sub, playing forward. 55 ROW I—Gary Burns, Billie Hammons, Bill Hamm, Marvin Peters, Billy Settle, and James Cooley.

However, they played only two games and both of those were against Moores- ville. The Artesians won these contests 7 to 3 and 5 to I. The season was rather short due mostly to the higher interest in the oncoming basketball season. At the end of the basketball season, play was re¬ sumed, with a little more determination. At the end of the school year, a softball tournament will be held to decide the championship of the South Central Conference. Last year it was held at Greensburg. Martinsville was defeated in the first game by Shelbyville. The teams at the tournament were: Shelbyville, Columbus, Greensburg, Green- castle, Seymour, and Martinsville. This year ' s tour¬ nament will be held at Shelbyville, the home of the defending champions. The members of the Artesian softball team are: Theodore Smith, a fast thinking catcher; Jack Naugle, a speedball hurler; Ralph Robinson, a hard hitting first baseman; Donald Fishel, a second baseman that made double plays look easy and simple; Melvin Payton, a long legged short stop; (Although he had a long way to bend over, he was seldom seen fumbling.) Harold Anderson who played a nice game at third base and was a very timely hitter; Sam Denny, center field and a real ball hawk; Hugh Rutledge, a reliable left fielder and dangerous hit¬ ter; Bruce Baker, a right fielder, who was a handy man in the clutch; Roy A inkler, a short fielder, who was always very reliable in fielding. Robert Watson, Bob Myers, and Bob Forbes were reserves who were always ready to give relief. 57 V f 58 ■ 11 ' fc. _ ■ ■ -l ■
