Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1944 volume:

. . • I ' . ■ . . ; • MARGARET ROSE To Miss Margaret Rose in appreciation of the invaluable help she has given us in our school work and activities in this our last year of high school, we the class of 1944, do humbly dedicate this, our yearbook. 2 For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be; Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails, Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down with costly bales; Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain ' d a ghastly dew From the nations ' airy navies grappling in the central blue; Far along the world-wide whisper of the south-wind rushing warm, With the standards of the people plunging thro ' the thunderstorm; Till the war-drum throbb ' d no longer, and the battle-flags were furl ' d In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world. There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe, And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapped in universal law. 3 End of semester 3:50.

As you have probably guessed, I ' m thinking of my high school days, which are rapidly ending. You know, being a senior is far different from what I expected as a freshman. Then, I looked forward to four long years of school, but now as I look back, it is only four of the most interesting and short years I ' ve known, and perhaps, will know. And as I mentally review each year I think I can see the reason. For instance, our freshman class was, to most people, just another green bunch; but to the individuals of that class, it was a group with which they were going to live and study and in which they were going to make and enjoy lasting friendships. That year we elected as our officers: Hugh Rutledge, president; Bob Hammons, vice- president; and Phyllis Baker, secretary-treasurer, and our class sponsors were Mr. Moore and Miss McCoy. And then came our sophomore year. By now we were better acquainted and members of the class became eligible for various clubs and activities into which they eagerly plunged. Our class was sponsored that year by Mr. McGlasson and Mrs. Mc- Krill and our officers were Bob Hammons, president; Bill Shufflebarger; vice-president; and Phyllis Baker, secretary-treasurer. However neither of these years was as interesting as last year, our Junior year. Our class officers were Charles Goss, president; Willard Waycott, vice-president; Roberta Sisson, secretary; and Phyllis Baker, treasurer. The first semester was filled w : th plans for the production of our class play, entitled Almost Eighteen, which was a great success. Then of course, in the second semester came the highlight of the year the Junior-Senior prom. This was held in Recreation Hall, which was attrac¬ tively decorated to look like a garden. Those who wished could also attend a movie after the dance, for the Indiana Theater was rented for the occasion. The sponsors, who helped us so much, were Mrs. Prewitt and Mr. Kurtz. And now we ' re Seniors and in this all-important year our officers are Hugh Rut ledge, president; Charles Goss, vice-president; Georgianna Hinson, secretary; and Hester Elliot, treasurer, and our sponsors are Miss Rose and Mr. McGlasson, who was called by the army during the winter. This year is one I will remember, as I ' m sure you do, for it has embraced so many activities and events, including the class play, the yearbook, the prom, Class Day, Baccalaureate and, of course, Commence¬ ment. Our course has not been smooth, and since that day in December, 1941, our own everyday experiences have somehow assumed a sense of false importance, but we have managed to emerge despite all handicaps and doubts as to the future. Many of the boys will follow you already in service, and we girls will impatiently await the expected day of peace and the return to normality. Well, Bob, I hope your memories of your school days have not been so far pushed aside that this has seemed boring and uninteresting, but somehow I don ' t imagine so. And so, till the next time, I wish you the best and send my Love, Sis. 12 HUGH M. RUTLEDGE In thy face I see the map of honor, truth, and loy¬ alty.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA We, the Martinsville Chapter of Future Farmers, are members of a national organization, which ex¬ tends to forty-seven of the forty-eight states and to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. During the year we have participated in various contests, in the district and the state. Some of these are Public Speaking, Essay, Reporters, Chapter, and Pest Eradication Contests. We held a stamp and bond contest within our local chapter, with individ¬ ual members purchasing 750 dollars worth of stamps and bonds. In 1943, we had a boy who was awarded the Hoosier Farmer Degree. This is the highest honor that the state organization can award, and it was given to Samuel Stidd. We sponsored a basketball game with the Hi-Y, for the benefit of the Christmas Seal Sales. Although we lost the game, the purpose for having it was accomplished. We received $58.50 which we turned over to the Seal fund. Our officers for 1943-44 are: President . .Lowell Dilley Vice President . William Hess Reporter _ _Gene Prather Treasurer. William Hammons Secretary ... Samuel Stidd Sentinel .

The Council is composed of representatives of all girls ' groups in high school and also the League officers. This organization tries to unite the girls and girls ' organizations in common interests, to build higher standards for girls and to do some school service. Programs have been presented by the Future Homemakers, Sunshine Society, Sports Clubs, Fresh¬ man girls, and non-club girls. The program theme for the year was the Girls ' League U. S. S., Person¬ ality, with monthly topics of worSHIP, sportsman- SHIP, friendSHIP, citizenSHIP, and leaderSHIP. In January the League sponsored a Leap Year Dance. It also took charge of recording names for the M. H.-S. service scrolls. Committees from the freshmen girls used the care of the girls ' lounge as their project.

They are: President: John Woods Vice-President: Bob Forbes Secretary Treasurer: Clara Jean Duckworth Accompanists: Helen Tackett and Peggy Knoy The class meets during the activity periods on Mondays and Thursdays. It is now called the General Music class and the students receive credit for taking it. Most of their time this year has been used in changing the club to a class. At the present time there are fifty-four students enrolled. A group of girls from the class sang for the Matinee Musical before Christmas. The girls were Lois Watson, Norma Epley, Martha Lou Bryant, Lois Congram, and Betty Richards. They sang Christmas carols of the allied nations. 39 THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The Martinsville High School Orchestra is composed of both Junior and Senior High School students. In early November a change of teachers was made and Mrs. Hazel Kelso, who went to Indiana State Teachers ' College as music critic, was replaced by Mrs. Mildred Berkey.

THE MARTINSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL BAND The high school band had a very busy year des¬ pite the tact that out of town trips and band con¬ testing were not possible during the war. The main effort of the band was in the role of a school service organization. The band was present at all home basketball games and played for many school assemblies and pep sessions. The band also gave as much support to the war effort as possible, taking part in war bond rallies, navy day celebrations, and war stamp sales. In April a concert was given at which war stamps and bonds were sold as token of admission. In addition to the full band playing for civic affairs, smaller en¬ sembles from the band played frequently for clubs and parties. Several members of the band participated in the solo and ensemble contest in Terre Haute on April first. Members of the band winning first division ratings in the 1943 solo and ensemble contest were: Margaret Ann Scherer, marimba; saxophone quartet with Lois Congram, Mary Margaret Griggs, Bob Hodges, Leroy Gooch. Officers of the band: Top Sergeants: Bob Hammons, Charles Hill. Sergeants: Joe Martin, Lawrence Albertson, Lois Congram, Bill Crone.

THE LEGIO DECIMA The Legio Decima was composed of eighty-three members, an increase of 32 over last year. It met each second Wednesday of the month with Mrs. McKrill as sponsor. At each meeting an excellent program was given dealing with Roman life or mythology. The activi¬ ties for the year began with the initiation of the Freshmen at the home of Jean Bennett on Octo¬ ber 30, At the third meeting a quiz program was con¬ ducted with Nina Brummett as Quiz-Master. Their most important activity this year was the dramatization of the Cupid and Psyche myth for the entire assembly. The script for the play was written by the Imperator. Mrs. McKrill directed and supervised. The curtain was drawn to reveal a bright red valentine with lace trimming inside which the acting took place. The following char¬ acters took part: Cupid, Marcene Pearcy; Psyche, Patricia Adams; Venus, Mary A. Hensley; Psyche ' s sisters, Gloria Schnaiter and Peggy Knoy. Jane Kivett read the script from behind the cur¬ tain. Cupid ' s costume and the decorations for the stage were made by Bob Hastings.

FUTURE HOMEMAKERS The Future Homemakers is an organization of girls with the purpose of serving the school and community, promoting friendship and helping the girls to become better citizens and homemakers. It has state affiliation and Elizabeth Hanna of the local club was chosen state president this year. Initiations were held in November. The first was informal, at which each new member had to do a stunt. None of the new members were permitted to laugh. The second initiation was a candle-light service. Their annual Christmas tea was an impressive candle-light ceremony with the members placing their gifts of food under the Christmas tree, for the community baskets. The club gave the Christmas program for the Girls ' League. On February 14, the Homemakers entertained the Future Farmers with a box supper and Valentine party. A candy sale was also sponsored during February. An assembly program for the school was pre¬ sented in April.

CHARLES BRUMMETT Charles William Brummett, the first boy to enter the field of Home Economics, enrolled in an ad¬ vanced foods class in the fall of 1943. He became quite interested in the work and later entered the class in Institutional Cookery. Charles operates the Sandwich counter each day and has done a great deal of the actual preparation of food for the cafeteria. As cook or baker in the army or navy, Charles will find this year ' s experience quite helpful. 46 THE CAFETERIA Rationing, food shortage, high point values and not even a raise in the price of foods has checked the appetite of the Martinsville High School student body this year. Larger crowds, more demand for food and greater expenditures of money have made the cafeteria a very busy place this winter. During the month of January 43 I 0 meals were served in the cafeteria. Several children from the South School find it convenient to lunch here. Salespeople and guests of teachers and students also find their way to our lunch room at the noon hour. The cafeteria opened November first this year, due to food shortage and repair work in the department. Miss Opal Gray acts as cashier for the cafeteria and Mamie Messmer assists her and checks lunch tickets. Mrs. Louise Skaggs and Mrs. Opal Smith had charge of the preparation of food at the time of the opening. Mrs. Smith resigned her work four weeks after the opening date and Mrs. Skaggs has carried the entire re¬ sponsibility the remainder of the school year. Only by student help has it been possible to continute operation. The cafeteria is supervised by Myra Hochstetler. An institutional cookery class of eight girls have worked for credit and lunch both semes¬ ters. The members of the class are Thelma Kimery, Eunice Curtis, Nigel Johnson, Geraldine Bennett, Barbara Mason, Rosemary Rhodes, Gladys Rowe, and Vivian Bowman. Lorena Stevens was a member of tfie class the first semester. Vera Ames has charge of the candy counter this year. She is an excellent sales lady when she has anything to sell. The forenoon cooking classes prepare food for the cafeteria when convenient. This gives the cooking lessons a double value. The girls of Home Room No. 10, which is Mrs. Hochstetler ' s home room, deserve a great deal of credit for their excellent help and coop¬ eration. Three eighth grade girls deserving a great deal of credit for the prep¬ aration of the noon meal each day are Helen Kinser, Barbara Long, and Maybelle Sampson. They were dependable, willing help at the activity period each day. The new delivery entrance and cold-storage room for fruits and vege¬ tables was an improvement in the cafeteria this year. Among other re¬ pairs made on the department last fall were changes in the canned goods storage room. The room was made smaller to allow space for a stairway for the girls ' physical education department. New cupboards and shelv¬ ing were built in and the room was painted white. A dressing room for the cafeteria class and a candy storage cupboard was added to the south end of the stock room. 47 Up and at ' em Strutting their stuff i The cock of the walk Coke, please Hello, Bedford Boom!! Good try, Hugh Two Points!! 48 SIP0TO COACH KNIESLY Last year when Pat Malaska announced that he was leaving M.H.S. to go to Peru, the Martinsville School Board was up against it in making a selec¬ tion for the new coach of M.H.S. But now we know they made a wise selection in naming Norbert Kniesly. Norb started his coaching career in 1934, coaching at Waveland High School until 1935. In 1935 he moved to Flora where he coached until the season of 1938. Then after three successful years at Flora he got a new position at Logansport as assistant coach under Cliff Wells. Here he coached until he got his present position of M.H.S. Martinsville should be proud to get such a coach as Kniesly, who knows his basketball and is bringing his team toward the close of a very successful season. NORBERT W.

He can hit from anywhere on the floor and was an excellent rebound man. Payton is a Senior this year. He has played on the varsity for four years. We are proud of Mel and the team will miss him next year. HUGH RUTLEDGE—Hugh is the best set shot on the squad. Gurt, as the team calls him, is very capable of scoring when given a good set shot from far out or a one handed shot near the basket. Hugh is a senior and has served on the varsity for two years. Next year ' s team will undoubtedly miss the little man who was always in there pitching when the going got tough. DON FISHEL— Fish is undoubtedly the fastest man on the team. Although he is not a scoring ace, he provides a lot of the drive and punch which net the Artesian points. Don, a senior, has also been on the varsity two years. Don is a good dribbler and a good ball handler. Next year the Artesians will miss the drive and speed which Don has given them for the past two years. EUGENE MILLER—Gene is our tallest man. Being 6 ' 4 1 2 . he is very capable of working both bank boards on rebounds. This is Gene ' s first year on the varsity, and he has proved himself very capable at his position. Gene is only a junior and should be a big gun in next year ' s varsity squad. BUD MORELAND Bud is also a fast man and clever ball handler. Although not as fast as Fishel, he provides much of the punch which gets the ball down the floor. Bud also can hit longs. But, being a Junior, has one more year on the varsity. JACK BROCK—Jack is also one of our little boys. Although he is not on the starting five, he sees much action in the game, in which, he plays good ball. Jack, also being a Junior, has one more year on the varsity. AUSTIN GODSEY Austin is another one of our substitutes who sees much action. Although Austin was injured toward the end of the season, he has played some pretty clever ball for the Artesians. Austin is only a Sophomore and should de¬ velop into a good ball player in his next two years. BRUCE BAKER Bruce was the spark plug of the second team but played some pretty good ball when substituted into a varsity game. Bruce is only a Junior and will be on next year ' s varsity.

TRACK Martinsville ' s growing track team, under the direc¬ tion of Keith Stapley, has some good prospects in view for the oncoming year. Last year the team increased from three to fif¬ teen boys. This year the aim for Mr. Stapley is to have two boys ready to compete in each event. Martinsville had only one boy to qualify for the State meet, that being Hugh Rutledge, who won the High Hurdle Event and second in the Low Hurdle Event in the Sectional Meet at Bloomington. The Artesian trackmen placed fourth in the S. C. Conference meet at Seymour. Hugh Rutledge placed second in the High Hurdles while Melvin Payton placed first in the Pole Vault Event. This year the goal of the Artesian trackmen is to win the S. C. Conference and qualify three or four men for the State meet. COACH KEITH STAPLEY 55 ROW I—Robert Shelbourne, Charles Anderson, Ancil Ballinger, Rodger Adkins, John Bob Hacker. ROW II—Coach Kurtz, John Williams, Fred Miller, Glen Caywood, Morris Goss, Billy Reynolds, Clarence Littell. JUNIOR HIGH TEAM The Junior High Team, under the direction of Mr. Kurtz, is composed of boys from the seventh and eight grades. The young Artesians had a rather large season, playing five games. They played Bloomington and Monrovia, each, twice and Centerton once. Coach Kurtz usually starts a combination of Bal¬ linger, Adkins, Caywood, Goss and Reynolds, with Ballinger and Adkins doing most of the scoring. These boys look like good prospects for a future Artesian Varsity. JUNIOR HIGH SCHEDULE M.H.S. OPP.

Did I dream it all or was I really in Indianapolis at an alumni party of the Martinsville High School Class ' 44? No, I couldn ' t have dreamed up that telegram from Governor Calvin, asking me to attend. I didn ' t think I could possibly get away from the studio; but Bill Shufflebarger, my director, said he wanted to go too. He made arrangements to postpone starting my new picture until we came back. Governor and Mrs. Calvin, met us at the plane. They took us to the new Governor ' s mansion. While waiting for the others to arrive, I felt as fluttery as at my first dance. Would everybody look the same and what fortunes or distresses had the years brought upon them? I was surprised to note that young President Waycott was his old jovial self and still had that round good-looking boyish face. A greater coincidence—he was still single. He brought three of his cabinet mem¬ bers with him, Bob Pearson, John Daily and Charles Hill. Dr. Pitkin looked every inch the distinguished scientist he is. He has just returned from Germany. He told me about seeing Samuel Stidd, who had married Fraulein Smutz during the war. Samuel is living with his wife ' s father. Harry Brock, Lowell Dilley and Harold Groseclose were rather flashily dressed. How else could they tell the old crowd that they had struck it rich when they struck oil on their Dude ranch in Texas? I scarcely knew Bill Crone, as we used to call him. He is now the famous surgeon, W. I. Crone. His discovery of a famous drug: Trans- formia that brings people back to life (if they haven ' t been dead too lone) has made him sought after throughout the world. Pansy Hodges and Donald Frounfelter struck me as one of the most devoted married couples I have ever seen. Anyhow they watched each other pretty closely. I talked a few moments with Shirley Kennedy, the very popular leading lady of Star Dust row playing at the English ' s. I didn ' t much care for her blond hair. Hester Elliott has succeeded Miss Rose as Head Math teacher in Martinsville High School. She won ' t teach anyone but boys. She says girls are not mathematically inclined. Walter had secured for the occasion, Joe Martin and his world famous Swing Band. Joe led the band, but he kept watching the drummer as if he thought he could do it better. I ' ll bet he could, too. Our twins, Elvin and Melvin Lind, now look almost identical. I suppose because they decided to dress alike. They operate an exclusive Haber¬ dashery on Fifth Avenue. Many girls of our class chose the life of a nurse. Maybe they tho ' t the war would last long enough for them to go abroad. Betty Jo Lowder, still lovely, Anna Mae Grounds, Louise Carmichael, Vivian Ames, Betty 59 A DREAM OF THE FUTURE (Continued) Da ' ly, Norma Jean Cox, everybody ' s friend, Jenny Robinson, Irene Mans¬ field and Bonita Scales all had something in common to talk about. Seems funny, but they all married internes. I saw Lois Watson but did not get to speak to her. She is much heavier which gives her a very imposing look in the opera. Robert Hammons, dancing instructor of the new Authur Murray Stu¬ dios, brought his star pupil for a performance. She was the daughter of Barbara Stewart Allison, the leading society matron of the city. I really couldn t see much change in Marilyn Knoy even tho ' she did marry an English Earl. They own their own broadcasting station in Boston. Working with them are Dorotha Glover and Mary Lucy Parker. They adver¬ tise English monocles that have become quite popular in the United States. Believe it or not, James Featherston is now heavy weight champ He and Harrison Gates are scheduled to fight in Madison Square Garden next month. Charles Goss must have felt quite conspicuous when he saw some of his famous portraits in the governor ' s beautiful home. Charles ' art has the touch of old masters. Speaking of art, Leo Kitchen runs a successful comic strip in the Indianapolis Sun. Donald Fishel, instructor for coaches in San Francisco, was telling me that basket-ball today is much the same game as in ' 44. However the new luminous suits invented by Alberta Cherry in her chemical labora¬ tory has speeded up the door receipts. Hugh Rutledge and Melvin Pay- ton, are coaches at Leland Stanford and I. U., respectively. Patty Mix St. John was dressed like a million, and why not after all that fortune she has made on her soy bean cereal discovery. She is now working on a soy bean drink. Almost everyone there, it seems, owns his own plane. Several had bought them from Lawrence Albertson, Inc. I noticed him talking to Clay Mills, Charles Flake and Eugene Gorman, who operate plane service stations. Ten years ago, Dora Walton was selected National Bathing Beauty. Her husband looked as if he tho ' t her still worthy of the title. I asked Bob Shane about my old home town. He told me about his glass furniture factory in Brooklyn. It requires only five men to operate it, yet it furnishes about one-fourth the homes of America. Much of his success he owes to Georgiana Hinson, his advertising director, and Phyllis Baker, model, photographer with his furniture. I must tell you of Richard Zapapas. He wasn ' t there that evening, but John Woods, our playwright, said he was to be in our next play. If so, I know the film will be a success as people go for hundreds of miles to hear his violin. I know Roberta Sisson, or Madame Sisson as she is called in New York, did not look a day over 20. She is a perfect product of her Fountain of Youth shop. Permanents that never come out, lipstick that stays on and nail polish to keep long nails from breaking off, are a few of her secrets. Kathryn Balay, Florence Bales, Martha Lou Bryant, Esther Cornelius, and Norma Epley are just a few that she employs. 60 A DREAM OF THE FUTURE (Continued) Bill Meredith was feeling good, as everybody looks up to him. He has revolutionized gambling so that anyone is not ashamed to be seen walking out of his amusement centers. Martha Lou Baker, is one of the leading lawyers of the day. She has many clients, each of whom wouldn ' t have anyone but her to help them with their cases. Alice Bales Abraham now owns a great baton twirling class. She has students of all ages—it ' s the style nowadays and also the sport. She says it is a great sport for old men after office hours. Several members of the class were unable to attend the reunion: Alvin Arnold, great golfer, winning many cups; Monta Rose Norman, Physical Education teacher of Spencer High School; Geraldine Goss, owner of a Fanny Mae Candy Shop in Chicago; Bill Gadd, captain of the S. 5. Havana now a great merchant ship; Betty Hamm and Betty Burkett original dress designers; Eunice Curtis, ear specialist of Martinsville; Louise Flake, Secretary of Bill Meredith; Ada Griffith, dietician of Home Lawn Sanitarium; Helen Harmon, Ice Skating Champ in Canada; Laura Ann Hodges, wife of Chief Justice Wimple; Lucille Lehr, principal of school 49 in Indianapolis; Betty McCammack, basket-ball coach of the Bloomer Girls, Evelyn Sink, doctor at Bone Straightened Sanitarium, Milwaukee; Horace Tomey, editor of the Martinsville Gazette; Patzy Vandagrifft, ' dietician of Guinea Pig Laboratory of Paragon; Frances Wampler, head of Bankers Trust, Indianapolis. I am anxious to see the Indianapolis Sun after the editor, Ira Sichting gets in his write up of the party. I hope the pictures Harolda Schaerer took are good. She is supposed to be the best staff photographer in the state. Confidentially she does mind reading on the side; everyone went to her last exhibition. Well, Diary, I ' m afraid I have used so much space I cannot write any more for several days. It surely was great to see all of my old friends again. I imagine it will be hard for both Bill and myself to get our minds back on work again. Look for our next picture, Blown With the Breeze.
