The cornerstone for the pres- ent high school building was laid in 1913, with classes meeting here for the first time late in the fall of 1914. An addition to provide classrooms for the Junior High School and shops for printing and electricity courses was begun in 1922 and completed in 1925. The first yearbook published by Martinsville High School under the name ARTESIAN was edited by the class of 1923. Miss Margaret Rose was sponsor of the senior class in 1923, even as she is the sponsor of this year's class, and the first book was dedicated to her. Miss Rose received a special suede-bound copy of the book. 2 I-IRTY AND MARTY POINT WITH PRIDE f X v I I SI .I ' I 'SG ' --5 gf- ' -F1 'f H 'Af T .i gg, 3 Y W-.. ixl - vL:,,f':-1:-5 -- , THEY INSPIRE ACHIEVEMENTS Throughout the school year, 1946-47, Arty and Marty had one hilarious time trying to keep up with all the activities that surrounded them. When the doors of M. H. S. opened on September 8, 1946, Arty and Marty found themselves swept up by an avalanche of students who were very eager to return to school. CThat's a joke, sonlj After pur- chasing books, pencils, compasses, erasers, and other articles included in such corruption, Arty and Marty put their belongings in their newly purchased locker and ran up to Jimmie's for a coke. Then on their return, they found lots of activities just waiting for them to take over. They started in with the first convo on September 20. Arty and Marty had a chance to meet all the new people at M. H. S .... then pictures were taken on October 1 . . . class officers were elected . . .

This was the first year for class officers and these posi- tions were well-filled by Betty Parker, presi- dentg Glenn Tudor, vice-president, and Vir- ginia Plummer, secretary-treasurer. Traveling on, we reached our sophomore year and by this time we felt a little more familiar with our school. Oificers for this year were: president, Marcene Pearcyg vice- president, Wayne Watson, and secretary- treasurer, George Bever. During this year George left Martinsville and Edward Sheets was elected to fill the vacancy. Then came a turn in the road which sig- nified the junior year. On senior honor day we took the '46 seniors' seats in the auditor- ium. This procession was led by our presi- dent, Jim Fairy Wayne Watson, vice-presi- dentg Ruth Maxwell, secretary, and Bill Schnaiter, treasurer. Now we are seniors. Most of us have come to the end of the path of school days, others will continue to travel a little farther. What- ever may be the case, the path has been a long, hard one but we've had lots of fun along the way. This year we chose Bill Schnaiter, president, Dean Hicks, vice-presi- dentg Thelma Traub, secretaryg and Don Turley, treasurer. And as we reminisce, we see these four wonderful years pass by in review and we know that we'll never forget M. H. S. Where- ever we may go, whatever we may do, the good times that we experienced, the friends that we knew, all these and many more we will remember. And so it is with pride that we point to Martinsville High School. Thank you for the swell times we had and may you always hold. your standards as high as you did when we passed through your doors. We raise our hats to you and will always remem- ber the high school from which We were graduated in 1947. -BETTY BAKER.

NORMA ELIZABETH PBATHER A Tribute In the quiet cemetery of Centennial Church in Green Township stands a monument with the inscription Norma Elizabeth Prather. We shall always remember this name because of the joy of living, the love of everything and everyone this girl had. At graduation time, along with the realization of our am- bitions, We shall remember what great satis- faction Norma Would have felt in sharing our achievements. 17 UNDER FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Standing Cleft to rightl : Miss Shufflebarger, sponsor Joan Hacker, vice-president: Alice Rose Moore secretary-treasurer.

We entered the seventh grade in the fall of '44 and had our first glimpse of the building that was to be our second home. We had very few activ- ities that first year. It was spent mostly in getting acquainted, and getting accustomed to the grind that was to be ours for the next six years. As eighth graders We were much more at home and entered into the school activities. We selected two representatives to the student council, Jack St. John and Janis Duckworth, and at the end of the year we had a class day and a commencement. At THE SOPHO On September 4, 1945, we timidly peered into the mysterious rooms that stood at the end of the long hall which separates the Junior and Senior High. We were freshmen and all the upperclassmen looked upon us with a superior eye. As our officers we chose John Bob Hacker, president, Suzanne Hadley, vice-presidentg and Nancy Hyatt, secretary-treasurer. Our first year wassomewhat uneventful, but near the end, with the help of our sponsor, Miss Georgann Shufflebarger, we presented a one-act comedy, Dynamite Dan. However, this year we sauntered into the halls and we too looked a little disdainfully the latter We received our treasured diplomas which were bound in black and gold, the class colors. We entered the freshman class happily and looked forward to the coming events. We elected officers at the beginning of the year. The representative from the freshman class for the auditorium program committee is Mickey Clarisey. The student council repre- sentatives are Jackie St. John, Janis Duck- worth, Virginia Hovious, Billy Record, and Mickey Clarisey. Miss Georgann Shufflebarger is our class sponsor and we are looking forward to our next three years as our happiest ones. -ALICE ROSE MOORE. ORE CLASS at the freshmen. Our officers this year were Zane Knoy, president, Tom Schnaiter, vice- president, and Bob Shelbourne, secretary- treasurer. We began to participate in more activities, serve on club committees, and do our part in filling the Mile of Dimes in the infantile paralysis drive held in the front hall. The sophomores in the Latin department, under the leadership of Mrs. Matilda McKrill, presented to the student body and to the public the Classical Review of 1947. This was a pantomime concerning the life of the Greek gods and goddesses, and telling stories of their contacts with the people on earth. --NANCY HYATT. THE JUNIOR CLASS We, the junior class of 1947, came to Mar- tinsville High School with an enrollment of 146 in our freshman class. Our officers were: president, Robert Keller, vice-president, Eph Gossg secretary-treasurer, Carol Coleman. The sponsors who worked with us were Miss McCoy and Mr. Ostermeyer. We toiled through the sophomore year with 131 class members. That year we had as our officers: Bill Bates, president, Eph Goss, vice-president, and Colleen Alexander, secretary-treasurer. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Young were our sponsors. As juniors, Eph Goss became our presi- dent, Bill Bates, vice-president, Carol Cole- man, secretary, and Ruth Tabb, treasurer. In our class play, Sing for Your Supper, we displayed our dramatic talents. Those in the cast Were: Imogene Maxwell, Bob Max- Well, Betty Long, Barbara Long, Robert Jar- rett, Judy Guenther, Phyllis Thomas, Robert Cragen, Don Congram, Carolyn Fesler, Fern Shireman, Pat Dixon, Elsie Hand, Phyllis McRoberts, Virginia Lowder, Eva Ralstin and Lester Sichting. The director was Miss Mabel Meeks and the assistant was Ruby Piercefield. Others who participated in pro- ducing the play were Simon Scherer, Mar- garet Hastings, Betty Grounds, Ruth Tabb and Bettie Pratt. In the music solo and ensemble contests at Terre Haute We have had four class members bring first divisions to the Martinsville music department.

N Q- 1 wi THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council was reorganized at Martinsville High School in the spring of 1945 because, according to the preamble to the Student Council constitution, students and faculty believed that Martinsville High School needed an organization to encourage student government and good citizenship. The purpose of the Student Council is to create more and better student-faculty rela- tionships, and to give students practice in governing themselves. It aids in organizing school functions and by this means creates a greater feeling of loyalty among pupils. It can assume as many student responsibilities as it will and can perform a great service for the student body. There are many opportunities for a Stu- dent Council to take an important role in the organization of a school. Some of its op- portunities are helping to keep the school and its grounds attractive, the organization of noon-hour activities, and the awarding of medals on class day. This year the Council conducted the elec- tion and training of yell leaders in conjunc- tion With the Athletic Association, regulated hall traffic, operated the coke machine, con- ducted a magazine sale in cooperation with the Junior High, and sponsored a ping-pong tournament. It studied the possibilities of organizing a Booster Club at Martinsville High School in the future. Among this year's members of the Coun- cil was a veteran of the United States Navy who represented not only the interests of his home room, but also those of four other vet- erans now attending Martinsville High School. The officers this year were: Joe Baugh- man, a junior, presidentg Ephriam Goss, a junior, vice-president, Patsy Harker, a sen- ior, secretary, and Eva Elliott, a sophomore, treasurer. Mr. Kurtz served as faculty spon- sor for the Council. STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS Seated fleft to rightlz Eva.

Kurtz, sponsor GIRLS' EXECUTIVE COUNCIL The Girls' Executive Council is the gov- erning body of all high school girls. It was organized in the Martinsville High School in 1940 with Miss Myngle Dorsett as the spon- sor. The objectives of the Council are to keep the girls' clubs and organizations running smoothly and to coordinate their programs. The Council is composed of the presidents of the Girls' Athletic Association, the Future Homemakers, and the Sunshine, also a repre- sentative of the girls Who are not in clubs, and a representative of the freshman girls. This year's officers have been, president, Virginia Plummer, vice-president, Anna Slaveng secretary-treasurer, Judy Kivett. The sponsors are Mrs. Evelyn Jarrett and Miss Georgann Shufflebarger. The Council sponsored the selling of con- cessions at the basketball games, with the cooperation of the G. A. A. and the Future Homemakers, as a money-making project. Another activity was the sponsoring of an all school Valentine's dance, February Sth. The Girls' League meets once a month and one of the clubs is responsible for the pro- gram at each meeting. The Council meets twice a month. it llg if Q will f tl tdltl 523 l 't' Q, '- nil: ,I .tg iq ,, X. ' Wm 'Sv Q X it ii lim R fl -t we .I X i wit ,J Xt ft t 4 5 ,.

Eventually the club grew and gained state renown and later national and international recognition. Such an important organization should have state conventions, so one was organized. Also, the number of clubs was so great that the state was divided into dis- tricts. Martinsville in District 8, was organ- ized in the autumn of 1922. Last November a district meeting was held in Connersville. Betty Ruth Hermeling, Jane Barnard, and Susie Hadley and Miss Mericle attended. Patsy Harker, Virginia Lowder, Fern Shireman, and Ruth Evelyn Tabb attended the state convention in April, 1946. Contacts and relations with the Ideal Ladies the girls choose are perhaps the most important and pleasant activities of the year. Each girl chooses a lady at the first of every school year whom she would like to model her life after. Ideal ladies are secret pen pals during the year. Members of the club send gifts to their ladies on holidays, birthdays, wedding anniversaries, etc. The Ideal Lady Tea in May is the main event of the year. At this time the ladies discover who their Sunshine Girl has been. The tea is held at some girl's home and corsages are exchanged between the ladies and the girls. The ladies can keep in contact with their girl through the Ideal Lady Committee. This year the committee was Sue Hines, chair- man, Betty Parker, senior, Pat Dixon, jun- ior, and Susie Pitkin, sophomore. SUNSHINE OFFICERS Miss Helen Mericle sponsor Betty Ruth Hermeling corresponding secretary Nancy Thomas recording secretary Fern Shireman vice-president Anita Abbott treasurer Charlotte Baker president Needy families are presented with baskets at Thanksgiving by the Society. This year the club planned a kid party for the girls, however, it was unable to carry out the plans, but toys were given to underprivileged chil- dren in Martinsville. The Sunshine Society was in charge of decorations for the Valentine dance which the Girls' League sponsored. The old gym was decorated with red and white crepe paper. The program which the Society gave for the Girls' League was January 225 it was a musical quiz, May Mizer's College of Musical Knowledge. Mary Joan Sweet acted as mistress of ceremonies, with Betty Parker as announcer and Thelma Traub as commer- cial announcer. Later in the year they gave a convocation for the entire high school. In 1938 the first summer camp for Sun- shine was held. Camp Tecumseh, a state Y. M. C. A. owned camp near Delphi, Indiana, was selected. One hundred and forty girls attended the first year. In 1941 Sunshine Cottage at the camp was dedicated. The Sunshine Society creed describes the club in the best way possible. It is With love in my heart, forgetting self and with charity for all, I shall make the object of my life helpfulness and kindness to others. I shall try to fit myself to give intelligent serv- ice in making my community a safer and more beautiful place in which to live. Thus will my own life become rich and complete. The Sunshine colors are yellow and white, representing sunshine and purity. The flower is the yellow rose and the song is My Sunshine Girl.

M. C. A. The purpose of the club is to Create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and com- munity high standards of Chris- tian characterf' The platform is clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. The club admitted ten new members this year making the total mem- bership thirty-one. The club has a new sponsor this year, Mr. Herschel Baker. Mr. Baker is active in promoting the work of the club. He succeeded Mr. Bowers, the sponsor during the past five years. The qualifications of a Hi-Y member are that he must have a C average in his school work, he must be in the tenth grade or higher, and he must be morally fit. The Hi-Y buys a fifty dollar bond each year. Upon maturity of the first bond and each succeeding year thereafter the club plans to offer a fifty dollar scholarship award to the outstanding Senior Hi-Y member. This member is to be voted upon by the club and ap- proved by the school administra- tion. The club also awards a trophy to the outstanding basketball player each year. The income of the club is derived from coke sales at the home bas- ketball games. The junior mem- bers are usually selected as sales- men. Annually the Hi-Y and F. F. A. sponsor a basketball game. The proceeds of the benefit game are donated to the National Tuberculo- sis Association. The game yielded approximately S50 this year for this worthy cause. Right: Scenes from Hi-Y activities THE ARTESIAN The Artesian Staff, under the supervision of Miss Margaret Rose and Mrs. Frances D. Humphreys, was made up of Volunteers from the senior class. 'The editor-in-chief, Betty Baker, chose Sue Hines, Marcene Pearcy, and Ruth Maxwell as the literary editor, make-up editor, and business manager respectively.

THE ARTESIAN HERALD The Artesian Herald is edited and written every two weeks by members of the journal- ism class under the direction of Miss Mae McCoy. Student editors are Patsy Harker, editor-in-chief g Nancy Thomas, assistant editor, and Don Hammans, sports editor. All linotyping is done at the Martinsville Demo- crat officeg and the printing, by the printing class under the supervision of Foster Thomas. Chief student printers are Junior Poling and Bob Leitzman. For the second consecutive year the Herald has printed a special sports edition, coming out just before the opening of the basketball season. An innovation this year was the eight-page Christmas number, bright with green ink and Christmas poems. More pic- tures than ever before have been used in this year's issues of the paper. One feature of the sports section has been a story, Player of the Week, accompanied with the subject's picture. Twenty-four cartoons on humorous and special occasion subjects have been pur- chased and are being used from time to time. Cost of the paper is mainly taken care of by contributions from the bookstore and the athletic department. This amount is supple- mented by profits from money-making proj- ects conducted by the staff. These were a carnival, held jointly with the Artesian staff, selling cokes at the tri-county tournament in J anuaryg and sponsoring noon movies each Friday, in addition, two after-game dances were given, on February 14 and 21. The staff presented a Gay Nineties pro- gram at convocation February 21. Betty Baker directed the journalism class in the production, with the assistance of Mr. Aden K. Long. February seems to have been jour- nalism month, for the Herald's scribblers also conducted the business arrangements for the girls' basketball game of the G. A. A. on the eleventh. Martinsville has sent representatives to the Indiana High School Press Association for each of its twenty-tive conventions. At the silver anniversary banquet of IHSPA this year, the staff had as their guest Miss Hannah Stevens, first faculty sponsor of the Herald. In honor of former student editors who made the supreme sacrifice in World War H, the IHSPA is dedicating a plaque to be left at Franklin College, headquarters of the association. M. H. S. will have on the plaque: Lieutenant Eugene Jordan, editor of the Herald in 1937, killed in a plane crash in 1942?

The band and orchestra are splendid builders of democratic group spirit. Music is a common interest which brings all classes together on an equal basis. The Martinsville High School band is a very active school organization. It is always present to add color and life to the cheering section at home games, participates in school assemblies, pep sessions, and patriotic pro- grams. The band is also active in the com- munity. In addition to the regular school year public concerts, the band last summer gave four open air concerts, played for polit- ical rallies, community meetings and the Brown County Fair. The band consists of students from both senior and junior high schools. Each mem- ber must pass a proficiency test on a band instrument before he can be a member. Or- ganization is on a somewhat military style with Joe Merideth as top sergeant and Imo- gene Maxwell, Gladys Messmer, Sue Hines, Ephriam Goss, Donald Congram, George Scott, and Betty Ruth Hermeling as ser- geants. The band is directed by Aden K. Long. In the spring of 1946 the band was given a first division rating at the band and orchestra contest held at Bedford. Members of the band who won first division ratings in the 1946 solo and ensemble contest were: Bar- bara Hite, Imogene Maxwell, Don Fishel, Gladys Messmer, Ruth Mosier, Joanne Hick- man, Don Traub, Wanda Ratts, Billy Record and Marvin Williams. Drum major for the year was Joe Meri- deth, backed up by twirlers Lillian Mitchner, Elsie Hand, Roseanne Walters, and Patsy Ayers. Soloists and first choir members of the band were Imogene Maxwell, saxophoneg Donald Congram, cornetg Joe Merideth, French horn, Sue Hines, oboe, Donald Fishel, clarinet, Donald Traub, flute, Jack St. John, trombone, Johnny Anderson, baritone, George Scott, bass, and Betty Ruth Hermel- ing, drums. The band went to Washington and Con- nersville for our basketball games there. The members carried on a series of paper drives and sold concessions at a ball game in order to help finance the upkeep of uniforms. 41 ORCHESTRA The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved With concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils. The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted. -William Shakespeare. Merchant of Venice, Act V, Scene 1. The high school orchestra offers to the student an opportunity to become acquainted with and to cultivate a lasting appreciation for Worthy music, as well as the more famil- iar musical comedy selections. This year three members of the orchestra played concertos with the group: Helen Tackett, piano, played a Wahner concerto, Hiram Pearcy, violin, played the de Beriot Seventh, and Mary Joan Sweet, cello, played a concerto by Goltermann. This is the first time students have performed concertos with the high school orchestra. Several members of the string orchestra are planning to go ahead with their music at college next year. Full orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Aden K. Long, meets twice each week. The string orchestra, with Mrs. Marian Hiner as director, meets three days. Public appearances by the orchestra in- clude a spring concert, commencement, the community Christmas program Cin which the orchestra was augmented by musicians of the communityj, the junior and senior class plays, Teachers' Federation meeting, a public teachers' meeting during National Education Week, and concerts for the junior and senior high assemblies. In the spring of 1946 the orchestra, in class BB, won a first division rating in the band and orchestra contest held at Bedford. Members of the string orchestra who won first division ratings in the 1946 solo and ensemble contest held at Terre Haute were Helen Tackett, Hiram Pearcy, Mary Joan Sweet, and Betty Baker. Carol Coleman and Betty Parker won second division ratings. Officers of the orchestra for the year were: Mary Joan Sweet, president Carol Coleman, vice-president Suzanne Pitkin, secretary Lucy Collier, librarian. TASWE The Taswepe String Trio was organized in 1944 at the suggestion of Professor Gerald H. Doty following an audition at Indiana University given by the three student music- ians. The Trio has entertained at numerous men's and Women's club meetings, banquets and church and Sunday School meetings. School concerts were played for the Girl's League in 1945 and 1946. On College Day the Trio played a musical program. The name Taswepe is derived from the P E TRIO family names of the players: Ta from Tackett, Swe from Sweet and Pe from Pearcy. The repertoire consists of classical, semi- classical, and popular music as Well as op- eratic themes. The players are all members of the Senior Class of 1947. A recital in the spring was one of the last appearances of the group before their grad- uation from high school. MADRIGAL GROUP The Madrigal Group, under the direction of Aden K. Long, is a new group this year in the Music Department. This group was organized unofficially last year but was not known then as the Madrigal Group. The members of this group were Betty Baker, Mary Joan Sweet, Mary Alice Hensley, Eliza- beth Jarrett, Don Traub, Zane Knoy, Bob Hastings, and Glenn Tudor. This group gave several programs in and around Martinsville. This year the name of this double quartet was established as the Madrigal Group and the group continued to give special programs. The biggest event which these singers at- tended was the All-State Chorus. This was a chorus of 1,200 voices made up of students from all parts of Indiana. During the Christmas season the Madrigal Group was kept quite busy giving return per- MIXED The Mixed Chorus, formerly called the B-Natural Club, is a group of high school students interested in studying choral music for performance. It meets twice a week at the activity period, under the direction of the talented music educator of Martinsville High School, Aden K. Long, who also directs the Band and Orchestra. The Chorus, this year, gave an excellent Christmas program. The numbers: While Stars Their Vigil Keep, Carol of the Bells, Silent Night, Christmas Day in the Morn- ing, and Bach's well-known Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, were ably given. The audi- torium for this Christmas program was beau- tifully decorated by Mrs. McKrill and her Latin classes, and special lighting effects were used. 42 formances at the different clubs that they sang for last year. They also sang two special numbers on the Christmas program which was presented by the Mixed Chorus. This year this group was the lucky one who was given the special privilege to carol in the halls just before school dismissed for Christ- mas vacation. The term madrigal is applied in music to a lyric, usually of amorous character and adapted to musical setting. This refers to the type of song that is sung by a madrigal group. This song is best sung with several voices on a part. The madrigal, which by 1450 was fully developed in the Netherlands, grew out of the application of descant to secu- lar melody, i. e., a chant to a religious music. Since 1450, the term madrigal has come to mean a group of eight who sing sitting around an oval-shaped table. CHORUS Other projects of the Chorus were num- bers for the Baccalaureate service, and the Annual Spring Festival. This Festival is held in the spring of each year and this year our school was host. The highlight of each year's work in Chorus is the Festival. There choruses from several schools meet and sing together as well as separately. This com- pares with the State Contest for the band and orchestra. The membership of the Chorus is deter- mined by tryouts, in order that a well-bal- anced choir may be obtained. Any student of Martinsville High School is eligible to try out. The Chorus, by this method, boasts some very excellent voices. Several soloists are found in the Chorus, and the Madrigal Singers are selected from the chorus.

A. A. got an early-bird start this year with a treasure hunt party, September 14, for prospective members. The club really was under way the following Monday when new members were taken in. The club has met each Monday. This year Martinsville joined the Indiana League High School Girls' Athletic Associa- tion and adopted their point system for giv- ing awards in organized and unorganized activities. The club's organized sport season for the year started with a softball tournament. This was followed by a Volleyball Round-Robin Tournament. Tournaments in basketball, one consisting of juniors and sophomores versus seniors and freshmen for the benefit of the whole high school, were held. Others were ping-pong and archery. Girls also partic- ipated in unorganized sports. Activities on this list were walking, hiking, skating, bi- cycling, horseback riding, and bowling.

Activities of the local chapter during the year have been: contests, pest eradication, public speaking, essay writ- ing, attendance contests, competition re-- garding the treasurer's book, the reporter's scrap book, and the secretary's book. Six regular night meetings and several special meetings were held during the year. The night meetings included: girl friend night, parent night, talent night, initiation of new members, and installation of new of- ficers. The chapter holds a project tour each sum- mer, visiting each member's home and look- ing over his projects. News letters were sent to the members of the chapter who were in military service. This year our chapter has been honored by having two of the state officers in the chapter: Melvin Maxwell, the state presi- dent, and James Coleman, the state secre- tary. Last year John Abraham and Lloyd Devore received the degree of Hoosier Farmer, the highest degree that can be awarded by the state. This year we have three candidates for the Hoosier Farmer degree: Joe Baugh- man, Verlis Dunn and Edward Lynn. In the past eleven years the chapter has had twelve Hoosier Farmers.

Williams THE FUTURE HOMEMAKERS' CLUB The Future Homemakers' Club is a national organization having as its mot- to Toward New Horizons. This motto indicates the goal of the club, learning to live better today in order that our lives and those of our families may be better tomorrow. The purposes of the local club are to promote friendship, to do something worthwhile in school, to learn the mean- ing of democracy, and to increase the interest in home economics by social events. The local club was organized in Sep- tember, 1937. It is a departmental club and every girl who joins must have had home economics or be taking it at that time. The girls who belong to the club are very cooperative and enjoy doing their part to make all the activities successful. The chapter devotes one meeting each month to business and one to social activities. The new members are in- itiated, formally and informally. The club cooperates with Mrs. Hochstetler, the foods teacher, and her classes to ar- range a yearly Christmas tea for the club members and those girls taking home economics. Faculty members are always welcome. The girls like to show their Christmas spirit by giving food and clothing for baskets to be given to families that need it. It always boosts one's morale to be able to help another. Every girl enjoys planning the party for her mother. It is one time each girl can show appreciation for all the thoughtfulness shown to her by her mother. The seniors are always hon- ored by the underclassmen. There is a Future Farmer and Future Homemaker party as well as a boy friend party. Besides the social activities educa- tional programs are included. Each year the club sponsors a style show in order to inform the other girls about the work in the home economics department. The members plan their work and then work hard to carry out their plans. 48 Opposite, upper panel, left to right: Miss Opal Gray, cashier, Marilyn Asher, Betty Bastin, Catherine Paris Mortimer, Minnie Ennis, Sarah Kelso, Betty Ennis, Mrs. Myra Hochstetler, in- structor, Mrs. Evelyn Pearcy, Mrs. Louise Skaggs Opposite, lower panel, top left picture, left to right: Mrs. Myra Hochstetler, Mrs. Louise Skaggs, Mrs. Evelyn Pearcy, Mrs. Winnie Pearcy Opposite, lower panel, center left picture: Catherine Paris Mortimer, Minnie Ennis, Sarah Kelso, Marilyn Asher, Betty Ennis, Betty Bastin Opposite, lower panel, bottom left picture: Home Economics II class Row 1: Betty Bastin, Delores Rouse, Bessie Holden, Marilyn Asher, Pat Scott, Joan Stewart, Mary Louise Flake, Carol Lewis, Wilma Keith, Phyllis Knoy Row 2: Eva Ratliff, Dorothy Neal, Mary Lou Bales, Phyllis Griffin, Emma Curtis, Joyce Krise, Cordelia Cordell, Virginia Burns, Patti Champlin, Monta Rose Hacker Row 3: Mrs. Hochstetler, Betty Bates, Mary Mills, Lorean Johnston, Betty Badger, Sarah Kelso, Martha Weaver, Bernice Jensen, Judy Kivett, Martha Swope THE CAFETERIA Few people realize the problems involved in the feeding of school children, with such a variety of food habits, and so many likes and dislikes. To assure a choice of nourishing, appetizing food and to encourage children to choose and eat new foods is a part of our educational program. With the opening day of school, September 10, the cafeteria started its service to the faculty and student body. During the four months ending December 20, 1946, the cafe- teria served 15,380 meals to teachers and students. This was an increase of 275 meals over the same period last year. This count includes the sandwich line but does not in- iluide meals served to employees and student e p. Miss Opal Gray operated the cash register and assisted with banquet service and on other special occasions. Mr. Hochstetler as- sisted Miss Gray in checking lunch tickets. Mrs. Louise Skaggs and Mrs. Evelyn Pearcy have had charge of the preparation of food this year. Mrs. Flossie Stroud acted as assistant 5 during her illness preceding the holidays Mrs. Winnie Pearcy took her place. Barbara O'Neal, Marion Bunton, Iris Hale, and Sarah Fluke helped during the opening days of the cafeteria in September, 1946. Sarah Fluke returned later and was employed as an assistant for ?veral weeks. Members of the ' 6-'47 cafeteria class are Marilyn Asher, Sarah Kelso, Betty Bastin, Minnis Ennis, Catherine Paris Mortimer, and Betty Ennis. Two new gas ranges and a Hobart electric slicing machine have been added to the equip- ment of the cafeteria during the past year. Other equipment is on order, but because of shortages it has not been delivered. The cafeteria has served several luncheons and special group meetings during the year. The cafeteria manager and instructor in junior and senior high school foods classes is Mrs. Myra Hochstetler.

Other senior high and junior high students soon joined them to swell the ranks to sixty mem- bers. This year the enrollment totaled fifty- six. Democracy appeared to be the keynote of the organization since it welcomed into mem- bership both boys and girls, both junior and senior high students. No other school organ- ization is so tolerant. Pink and gray are the colors. The scrap- book committee kept these carefully in mind while laboring over its pictorial history. The objectives were literary in nature. Once a month members answered roll call by naming a book read during the preceding month. These roll calls clearly exposed the popularity ratings of many books. Members aimed to grow better acquainted with libraries, books, and magazines. They broad- ened their knowledge of the history, produc- tion, care and use of books. In December the club donated to the Red Cross fund. In February it gave a book to the school library. The auditorium program committees of both the junior high and senior high invited the Library Club to present programs during Book Week. The invitations were accepted. Margaret Ann Hewitt and her committee chose a radio play, Volumes of Adventure, by Bernard Reines. In the play appeared characters from several well-known books: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain, Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson, The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexander Dumas, and The Merry Adven- tures of Robin Hood, by Howard Pyle. These characters all visited the sick boy, Danny, in a successful effort to cheer him. The cast of eighteen boys and four girls worked with a will to entertain for the junior high con- vocation on November 14 and the senior high convocation on November 15. Members helped sell concessions at some of the basketball games. Programs consisted of student conducted quizzes, book reviews, author talks, and mov- ing pictures Qwith the assistance of Mr. Thomasj. The movies included the processes in book publishing, services oHered rural residents by county and regional libraries, the history of the greatest book of all times, the Bible, and the best ways of utilizing the resources of school libraries. l LEGIO DECIM1-l The first activity of the 1946-47 school year was a party, given by the second-year students for new members. Bob Curtis was master of ceremonies for the stage show. The front hall, where members danced, munched apples, and drank cider, was decorated with trees in autumn foliage. Tables and lights were trimmed with autumn colors. On December 5, Legio Decima sponsored the all-school auditorium program, at which Superintendent Floyd A. Hines spoke. Christmas decorations in the auditorium were prepared by the legion. David Cravens donated the evergreens. LATIN CLUB OFFICERS On January 30, the club gave Classical Revue - 1947, a pantomime of Greek myths, to the public. It was repeated the next day for the junior and senior high school.

The reorganization was made in an attempt to affiliate the local club with the National Thespian Society. A new constitution patterned on the Thespian docu- ment was written and adopted. First activity of the year was a program on February 26 for the Girls' League. An auditorium program was given for the senior high school on March 7. A public evening entertainment on March 19 consisted of two one-act plays, Miss Personality Plus, and Bobby Sox, and a pantomime entitled And the Lamp Went Out. On January 10, twenty-three members of the club chartered a bus to Bloomington for a performance of I Remember Mama by the Indiana University Theater. Prof. Lee Norvelle, director of the Indiana University Theater, conducted the group on a tour of the stage and back stage. On March 26, a group of thirty-two students went to English's Theater, Indian- apolis, in a chartered bus. They saw the Maurice Evans performance of Shakespeare's Hamlet The club was host to some mem- bers of the senior English class on this trip. Plans were made to establish a library fund for new books on dramatics. Contributions also were made toward new scenery and stage equipment for the school auditorium.

The Projector Club, organized this year, is under the sponsorship of Mr. Thomas. The purpose of the club is to provide operators for the movies, filmstrips and slides shown in regular class work. The club includes both junior and senior members. The senior operators are boys Who have regular periods to run the projector. ral' PROJECTOR OPERATORS CREGULARSJ Standing: Simon Scherer Glenn Tudor Jim Mosier Alvin Coffey Bill Schnaiter Kneeling: Harold Dixon Leonard Coffey Glendon Tudor Bill Record Fred Schoolcraft PROJECTOR OPERATORS CSUBSTITUTESJ Standing: Loren Troxell Junior Long Joseph Hacker Bruce O'Neal Mr. Thomas, sponsor Row 2, Kneeling: Billy Cramer Tom Kennedy Bob Creed Joe Fletcher Row 1, Kneeling: Joe Hacker Robert Mitchner Morton Lane Billy Long Tommy James Dale Blunk CLUB They train junior operators for substitutes, those boys who expect to become regular operators.

The purpose is to give the students Work experience and training to help them prepare for work in stores. There are several different Iields in which this class is working. Some of the positions filled by members of the class are sales clerks, typists, general office work- ers, waitresses, waiters, and grocery clerks. Even though they do not continue the same type of work after they graduate, they will gain poise and confidence from this training. Also their work attitude' and per- sonality will be much improved. These will be ad- vantages in any business they undertake. This class meets eight periods a week and they work at least fifteen hours a week. They are usually paid on the same basis as any other beginning employee. They receive four credits a year for this course.

M. C. A. group-work pro- gram devoted to younger boys. The first Gra-Y club was organized in 1924 in Morris Cove, a small Connecticut com- munity nestled along the east side of the New Haven harbor. It came about through the efforts of L. Edwin Hill, then Associate Boys' Work Secretary of the New Haven Y.M.C.A. Boys become members of Gra-Y by sub- scribing to the Gra-Y purpose and platform. As members of Gra-Y, it is their purpose to be strong in body, mind, and spirit and to live in a Christian way in the homes, schools, churches and neighborhoods. Members achieve the purpose of Gra-Y by striving together to be friendly, to respect and serve others, to be healthy, to show good sportsmanship, to be helpful at home, to keep up in school work, to take part regularly in church activities, and to be reverent to God. The club meets each Monday at the activ- ity period. Club activities are divided in three types: discussion, religion, and recreation. Members of the club are chosen to prepare and present the program each Week. ILLE GR Mr. Iwo, spolisor: Al1li'X'lll XX'illizim 1 e l l l l ll 1 l t X Nl I ll t t xim'-ii'i'si1vl1 I .vUi'lTlilil .

By conference ruling each school participating was required to play each other conference school one game. This conference play dominated the schedule Martinsville team played its best game against Columbus. The score at the end of four and one-half innings was 0 to 0. Because of rain the game was not finished. The team won two games and lost seven.

In the spring of 1946 a group of boys asked to have a golf team. At this time the new superintendent, Floyd Hines, took it as his responsibility to form a team. Out of ten candidates, he picked Don Hammans, Joe Merideth, Bob Callis, Bob Stultz, and John Bob Hacker, as members of the team. Dur- ing the spring the team had five matches, none of which were successful, but all were helpful to the team by the experience re- ceived. The team also participated in the South Central Conference meet in which it finished third. With the beginning of the 1946-1947 school year this sport was received with more en- thusiasm by both students and faculty. Clarence Ooley, newly appointed athletic director, assumed his job as coach. The team had a successful season and achieved its TR A vital part of the athletic facilities of Martinsville and the center of spring activi- ties is the track. Other teams hold their meets here also. The coach is Keith Stapley, who has been here since 1942. A new record was set for the high jump last year in the South Central Conference by Jim Goss, a senior, who jumped 6 ft. M3 in. He tied for third in high jump in the state meet. The mile relay team made up of Eph Goss, A main objective in winning the S. C. C. tour- ney. In the tourney the team total was 353 and Don Hammans won individual scoring honors.

Fea- zel, maintenance supervisor, Walter Martin, head janitor, William Holsapple, Andy Moore, and Charles Sink THE PROPHECY Marty and Arty were experimenting the other day in the physics lab and stumbled upon a new discovery - the use of television with free range. Trying it out, they found themselves gazing upon New York. Coming in for a closer view, they saw Jeanne Myers and Bob Hart dancing at the Stork Club- the famous photographer John Hancock and his assistant, Paul Votaw, covering the event. On hand to assist were Dale Blunk, host, and Harold Hamilton, assistant manager. Sup- plier of food for the famous kitchen of this night-club is Lloyd Devore, who owns a 1,000- acre farm in central Indiana. The fresh fruits, vegetables, and special type ofbeef is flown from there to New York daily by Howard Skaggs, who owns the Trans-Earth- eanian refrigeration and passenger plane lines. LOCALS VISIT STORK CLUB After gazing around they noticed Dr. and Mrs. Marcene Pearcy CMary Joan Sweetj and Mr. and Mrs. Chester Koons CGretchen Feslerj at one of the tables. Both Mrs. Pearcy and Mrs. Koons were wearing gowns created by those noted designers of Paris, Misses Betty Baker and Vina Knoy. It is said that Miss Baker is still studying astron- omy, assisted by that brilliant professor, James Mosier. They changed the scene in New York and dialed to Carnegie Hall where the world famous violinist, Hiram Pearcy was guest soloist. The oboe player in the symphony was Miss Sue Hines. On hand to see this concert was Miss Helen Tackett, teacher of piano technique in the Cincinnati Conservatory. In various box seats in the audience, Marty and Arty saw several old friends. They were glad to see Louise Pearcy once more, after hearing that, because of her flexible voice, she has become important in government branches. Being able to change the timbre and tone of her voice, she can im- itate anyone, either man or woman, and has presented programs over the radio, in the tone of the President's voice when he is so crowded with work that such assistance is necessary. She recently sang for Kate Smith, during the latter's illness. Virginia Plummer was elected president last year of the W.- W. W. E. W. 1Women's World-Wide Equality WorkersJ and has made great improvements in that capacity recently. Through her in- fluence, a woman Attorney General, Martha J. Denny, was appointed, instead of a man, as has previously been the case. Also, Char- lotte Baker was elected Lieutenant Governor P cg 2' Q, .

W. E. W., as well as having completed a mis- sion to further world friendship were Betty Tomey and Jean Ratts. Coincidentally, they had met Anna Slaven, ambassador to Turkey from this country. Marty and Arty nonchalantly flipped the dial and found themselves gazing upon a much changed Cairo. Don Turley, Glendon Tudor, and Bill Rose, through scientific ex- periments, have reversed the direction of the Nile's current, causing it to flow south- ward for irrigation purposes. Jack Neal is in charge of the Water Purification Department, his secretary, Jean Lafaryg Harold Stiles, Director of the 6F Project CFish For Food: Freedom From Famine.J The world-famous engineer, Dean Hicks, assisted by the modernistic ideas of Ruth Maxwell, created the marvelous irrigation system of this proj- ect. Keys Lowder and Bill Burns are Crock Mechanics for the project. It was under the valiant leadership of the ambassador to Egypt, James Fair, that this project was made possible. fRuth and Jim are still around.J WILLIAMSON OWNS CAIRO PHARMACY They also noticed Williamson's Tip Top Pharmacy in Cairo. Curious, they looked inside, and whom should they see but Walter Williamson. Bookkeepers of the firm were: Betty Hermeling, Rosalyn Cibull and Max- ine Cohen. World famous for his Tip Top Egyptian sundaes is Verlis Dunn. In charge of the sea food menus are Carol Bennett, Pat Chaplin, and Marjorie Williams. Next, gazing at Washington, D. C., Marty and Arty found Joe Merideth, an FBI agent who had just solved an important case, as- sisted by Chief of Police Jerry Mansfield and the unique coroner, Nancy Thomas. On the way to the library where Martha Secrest is head librarian, they saw Bill Schnaiter with his secretary, Roberta Cramer, rushing to the airport to complete a business deal in London. Dialing a new location, Marty and Arty were surprised to find that Charles Fair is now owner of the new Yank-Dud helicop- ter factory, Lansing, Michigan. Chief de- signer, Byron Elliot, and head mechanic, Jack Truax, told them that Margaret Hewitt and Irene and Ilene Gillaspy are the new interior decorators. Also in Lansing are the sweater designers, Bessie Holden and Delores Rouse, assisted by Barbara O'Neal, who created the new Round-a-bout sweaters. On their way from Michigan they chanced to see Harold Wade, Wayne Dillman and Kenneth Wheeler, who are in charge of a vital radar station. STEP SAVER INVENTED BY UNCLE KITE For the less energetic, Barbara Bergman and Uncle Kite fWayne Watsonb have in- vented a Step Saver. Just carry your chair out to the sidewalk and hook it onto their conveyer belt which will take you right down town. Their only problem is- Must they walk back ? Newly acquired patrons of the system are: Betty Godsey, Donald Hammans, Russell Lane, and fbelieve it or not,D Mr. and Mrs. Ed Lynn fBetty Rodgersl took their honeymoon trip on it. In case any- thing goes drastically wrong, Tom Johnson has provided a mortuary at the end of the line. The Rev. Glenn Tudor has offered his services in such a case. They dialed down to Columbia to find Pat Strickler, Patsy Harker and Marion Walls head of student research there. They told us to be sure not to miss the coronation of the Candy King, Eugene Brummett. Law- rence Martin was revealed to be the candy tester, and it is rumored too, that Gladys Messmer is the Brains behind the scheme. Marty and Arty left the scene of the cor- onation which was held in New York and scanned the coastline of Connecticut where the beautiful homes of the former Lillian Mitchner, Pat Adams, and Joan St. John fwhich were their names before their mar- riagesb are located. Their homes were de- signed by the very talented Maxine Wamp- ler, who by the way, designed the building for the United Nations, Cwhere, incidentally, these women's husbands work as assistantsl. Maxine told them of the new legislation be- ing sponsored by Eileen Sloan, woman Sena- tor from Indiana. Marty and Arty dialed southward down the coast, and at Key West, Florida, they found Betty Lou Loehr and her husband spending their honeymoon. The very elabor- ate wedding took place in a large church. The honeymoon was being enjoyed splashing in the ocean surf and watching the moon re- flect on the water. While in Miami, they saw Dorothy Merideth on the street. She told them all about her modeling career. She said she got her start' at Marshall Field do- ing spot modeling. Emma Curtis is also in Miami, just soaking up the sunshine. It is rumored that she met a wealthy silk hosiery manufacturer, and she just runs her legs off comparing their hose with other brands, so that her husband will not have to be both- ered with such small details. HOBART NAY INCORPORATES DRIVE-IN Marty and Arty flipped the dial and found themselves in East Hollywood where Betty Badger and Hobart Nay are busily finishing plans for their new drive-in. They have a chain of them stretching from coast to coast. James Clark and John Merideth are man- agers of their branch drive-in in Reno, Nevada. Among those who are still using the books are Harold Freeman and Richard Lee who are studying dental disease. They also learned that Todd Johnson is salesman of the new 1960 Buick. Beatrice Montgomery and Mary Fleener are well-known domestica- tors. Tired, after the day of testing their new discovery, Marty and Arty turned it OH and discussed the old friends from M. H. S. that they had seen during the day. For a few moments of relaxation, they turned on the radio and listened to the Caffeine Hour, starring the Three CoHey Drips CAlvin, Betty, and Leonard. Alvin writes the lyrics.J The Coffey Drips have become world- famous for their mellow-rhythm. They were startled by the interruption of the program for the announcement that a large number of animals had been stolen from the Parker- Traub mink-ermine farm in southern Indi- ana. They had heard that, in their spare time, these two have taken up the work of writing prophecies for different graduating classes in Indiana.
