It hasn't always been The Artesian, you know. There were other annuals, but they had different names. The first annual with the name The Artesian came, fresh off the press, to the class of 1923. Those seniors were sponsored by Miss Margaret Rose. That was 25 years ago, and Miss Rose is still patiently helping, and diligently working with our senior class this year. So to 25 years of happy memories we dedicate this book. 2 T has been our purpose throughout this book to de- velop the theme of the alphabet. When we entered the first grade, the alphabet was one of our first ac- quaintances. Now, as seniors, we present our book of happy memories, still expressing ourselves through the A B C's.

Mamie Superintendent s Office s 7 THE CLASS OF 1948 l Class Day May 26, 1947 Iilph Goss, junior class president, receives key from Hill Schnaiter, senior class president Four long hard years ago we seniors of 1948 entered the Martinsville High School as freshmen. That year we pulled together for the first time, to elect class officers. These places were well nlled by Robert Keller as president: Eph Goss, vice- presidentg and Carol Coleman, secretary-treas- urer. Our sponsors were Miss McCoy and Mr. Ostermeyer. The next year, as sophomores, we readily ac- cepted our position to look down upon the green freshmen. Also, we became engaged in various clubs and activities. Fortunately, we again suc- ceeded in electing efficient officers with Bill Bates, presidentg Eph Goss, vice-presidentg and Colleen Alexander, secretary-treasurer. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Young were now our sponsors. As juniors, Eph Goss became our president: Bill Bates, vice-presidentg Carol Coleman, secretary, and Ruth Tabb, treasurer. Again, the walls of our house moved out, and we found ourselves in a greater world. The first semester was marked with our class play, Sing for Your Supper. The second semester brought us a class party, and finally, the high-light of the year, the Junior- Senior Prom. Our theme for this was the Mardi Gras, and we shall never forget the fun we had decorating the old gym, with Mr. Bowers as spon- sor. Now we are seniors, and for this big event we re-elected Eph Goss president. Larry St. John be- came vice-president, Betty Long, secretaryg and Pat Dixon, treasurer. Miss Rose and Mr. McGlas- son, we hope, will see us through our last year. We have all become proud of our position and our school-as we work for our class play, our year- book, Class Day, Baccalaureate, and finally- Commencement.

UN DER FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Miss Shutflebarger, sponsor, Carol Brubaker, secretary-treasurer, John Bergman, vice- president, Max Cain, president THE SOPHOMORE CLASS We are the unconquerable class of '50! Last year as freshmen, we began our first- year journey toward graduation from M. H. S. This year with Wilbur Hardin as our sponsor and our representatives to the student coun- cil, Joan Hacker, Dale Hines, Mildred Mc- Roberts, Betty Pearson, Don Hensley, and David Baker, our class has been well repre- sented in all activities. The sophomore girls are well represented in Sunshine, G. A. A., and Future Home- makers. The boys are represented in Future Farmers, Hi-Y, Dramatics, and the second squad in basketball. Most of the boys on the second squad have promise of being on the varsity in their junior and senior years. The class is well represented in the band and orchestra under Aden K. Long. Mixed Chorus has quite a number of sophomores participating. A sophomore girl, Pat Beaver, was one of the Martinsville High cheer leaders. There are five sophomore home rooms. These are 12, Miss Stalcupg 17, Mrs. McKriIlg 49, Mr. Harding 38, Miss Shufflebargerg and 36, Mr. Moore. Our class, in two years, will become the graduating seniors of Martinsville. The future hope of the sophomore class is to better the school of Martinsville High. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Zane Knoy, president, Helen Shields, secre- tary, Suzanne Pitkin, treasurer, Tom Schnai- ter, vice-president, Mr. Bowers, sponsor 5-I C L A S S M E N THE FRESHMAN CLASS We, the class of '51, now just freshmen, take time out to look back on the days when we were in junior high. We got our first glimpse of high school life when we entered the seventh grade in the fall of '45 as seventh graders. The year was mostly spent in getting acquainted with the life that would be ours for the next six years. When we entered the eighth grade, we took part in more organized programs. We elected two representatives to the Student Council. They were Jimmy Mitchner and Patty Quakenbush. At the close of that year we had a class day, at which time we received our certificates of graduation from the eighth grade and other awards. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Mr. Hardin, sponsor, Joan Hacker, secretary- treasurerg Janis Duckworth, president, Dale Hines, vice-president At the beginning of our freshman year we elected class officers. Max Cain was our president, John Bergman, vice-presidentg and Carol Bru- baker, secretary-treasurer. Marvin Williams was our representative on the auditorium program committee. Our representatives on the Student Council were Donald See, Jack Cragen, Walter Bates, Ralph James, and Betty Fowler. Carmella Cascian and Walter Bates represented us on the Teen Canteen council. Miss Shufflebarger was our class sponsor. We are looking forward to our next three years at Martinsville High. THE JUNIOR CLASS As freshmen we were initiated into the annals of society with the following as our class officers: John Bob Hacker, president, Suzanne Hadley, vice-president, and Nancy Hyatt, secretary- treasurer. Miss Shufflebarger was our sponsor and a very good one. We presented before the school a one-act play Dynamite Dan, which Miss Shufflebarger directed. The next year we decided on an all male gov- ernment with Zane Knoy, president, Tom Schnaiter, vice-president, and Bob Shelburne, secretary-treasurer. Our sponsor was Mr. Hardin. That year, under the direction of Mrs. McKri11, we presented The Classical Review of 1947. This year Zane Knoy was re-elected president, Tom Schnaiter returned as vice-presidentg Helen Shields became secretary, and Suzanne Pitkin, treasurer. Mr. Bowers was our very efficient sponsor. Our class play was A Date With Judy. The cast included Roseanne Walters, Bob Curtis, Don Fishel, Wanda Ratts, Zane Knoy, Barbara Garrison, Jack Hickman, John Adams, Helen Shields, Nancy Hyatt, Sally Kivett, Mary Louise Bales, and Betty Denny. Miss Shufflebarger and Miss Binford were directors. We think the cast showed outstanding dramatic ability. Another major event was the prom when we entertained the seniors.

The Council is made up of the officers of the Girls' League and the presidents and vice- presidents of G. A. A., Future Homemakers, and the Sunshine Society. It also includes a representative from the freshman girls. The Council's officers this year have been Fern Shireman as president, Janet Pearcy as vice-president, and Mildred McRoberts as secretary-treasurer. Miss Georgann Shuffle- barger was its sponsor. Meetings of the Executive Council are held every first and third Monday of each month at the activity period. During the meetings the members discuss and deal with problems concerning the Girls' League. This year the Council again sponsored an all-school invitational dance, this time a win- ter formal. The Sunshine Society was re- sponsible for the very eiective Winterish decorations, and refreshments were served by the Future Homemakers. Ticket sales were in charge of the G. A. A., and the fresh- man and unorganized girls Were in charge of the checking room. Also, the Council mem- bers enjoyed a pitch-in supper one evening near the end of school. The Girls' League is composed of all girls in the senior high school and meets in the auditorium on the fourth Wednesday of every month except December and May. Each meet- ing is in charge of a diierent girls' club with the exception of the first and last meetings, which are given over to organization and the election of officers. Fern Shireman, president, Janet Pearcy, vice- presidentg Mildred McRoberts, secretary- treasurer ' . Thomas Flake, president, Janet Pearcy, sec- retaryg David Baker, treasurerg Robert Kel- ler, vice-presidentg Mr. Kniesly, sponsor STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council was reorganized at Martinsville High School in the spring of 1945, because, according to the preamble of 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 organiz- ing school functions and by this means creates a greater feeling of loyalty among pupils. It can assume as many student re- sponsibilities as it will and can perform a great service for the student body. There are many opportunities for a Student Council to take an important role in the or- ganization of a school. Some of its opportuni- ties 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 election of class officers, conducted the election and training of yell leaders in conjunction with the Athletic Association, operated the coke machine, took charge of concessions at senior high basketball games and distributed the profits among the different school organiza- tions. It discussed the possibilities of prepar- ing a hand book and planned on doing the same. Members of the council have fine oppor- tunities to advance leadership by leading the various home rooms they represent in dis- cussions on school problems and how they can be solved. The officers this year were: Thomas Flake, senior, presidentg Robert Keller, senior, vice-president, Janet Pearcy, junior, secretary, and David Baker, sopho- more, treasurer. Mr. Kniesly served as faculty sponsor for the Student Council.

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 meaning of democracy, and to increase the interest in home economics by social events. The local club was organized in September, 1937. It is a departmental club and every girl who joins must have had home economics or be taking it at that time. The chapter de- votes one meeting each month to business and one to social activities. The new mem- bers are initiated formally and informally. Our new sponsor, Mrs. Helen Davis, who has taken an active interest in the club, was in- itiated also. The club co-operates with Mrs. Hochstetler, who is the club mother. Her classes help to arrange a yearly Christmas tea for the club members and those girls taking home econ- omics. Faculty members are alweys welcome. The girls like to show their Christmas spirit by giving food and clothing for baskets to be given to families that need it. Each year we have a Mother-Daughter Banquet. Every girl enjoys planning the party for her mother. It is one time each girl can show appreciation for all the thought- fulness shown her by her mother. The seniors are always honored by the underclassmen, who plan to take them to an Ice Hockey Game this year. There is always a Future Farmer and Future Homemaker party. It is custom- ary for the Future Homemakers and Future Farmers to take turns entertaining each other. This was our year to entertain them. Redecorating Room 6 was our project for this year. We purchased new drapes and a new clock, and the walls were painted. gf-my 'Nf We Y?

Bti' The Martinsville Hi-Y Club has been affiliated with the State and National Y. M. C. A. since 1935. It is a Christian organization made up of senior high school boys who have taken pledges to uphold the standards of the club. The pur- pose of the club is to Create, maintain, and ex- tend throughout the .school and community high standards of Christian character. The platform is clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. Eighteen new members were initiated by an impressive candle light service bringing the club membership up to thirty. The social activities of the club this year were: . Q ,fer M, ink a ham dinner each semester. the annual picnic in the spring, and helping the Girls' League to sponsor an informal spring dance. The service activities of the club were: the completion of payment on a S100 pledge to the World Youth Fund for the restoration of Y. M. C. A.'s in War torn countries, the T. B. Seal benefit basketball game with the F. F. A. ireceipts approximately 35701, the annual purchase of a S50 savings bond for the Martinsville Hi-Y scholarship fund, the presentation of a trophy to the senior who has shown outstanding sportsmanship during the basketball season, and a gift to the school. 'ff lgs ILM FEEDERS THE PROJECTOR CLUB Audio-visual aids are rapidly developing in our school and last year a Projector Club was organized under the sponsorship of Mr. Thomas. The purpose of this club is to provide oper- ators for the projectors. We have here in our school system three sixteen millimeter projectors, consisting of a Bell and Howell which has been in operation for eleven years and was our school's first, an Ampro which was purchased in 1944, and an R. C. A. which was bought last year and is used chiefly in the grade schools. We have a strip film pro- jector and also a slide projector. These pro- jectors are used in classwork, other school activities, and are used by organizations of our community. The club consists of both junior and senior operators. The senior operators serve regular periods each day, and they also train junior operators as substitutes, who expect to become regular operators. We have in operation one pro- jector each period and most of the time two. These films are shown in Room 45, which is the regular visual aid room, and also in the auditorium. To be a member of the Projector Club a boy must learn to operate all the school-owned projectors. He must also learn to clean, oil, set up, dismantle, and store away these machines. Regularly scheduled meetings are held to discuss problems which come up in connection with projection.

IIQ6 WWIIHXXXV The Sunshine Society of Martinsville High School was organized in the autumn of 1922. Each year it participates in the district and state Sunshine Conventions and a Sunshine camp. The colors are yellow and white, repre- senting sunshine and purity. The Sunshine flower is a yellow rose and the song My Sun- shine Girl. The purpose of the Sunshine Club is best illustrated by its creed: With love in my heart, forgetting self, and with charity for all, I shall try to make the object of my life helpfulness and kindness to others. I shall try to fit myself to give more 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 Society of 1948 sponsored two auditor- ium programs. One was a musical program for Girls' League, and the other an Easter program for the whole school. The girls also joined other clubs in sponsoring two invita- tional dances. A successful party was planned by Pat Beaver and Wanita Maxwell for the girls in the Society. The year started with two initiations. At the informal initiation the girls were re- quested to gather at the Court House, equip- ped with brooms. Then they had to sweep the town clean. The formal initiation was GALS held at the Methodist Church and was fol- lowed by a tea. Several girls attended the district conven- tion at Fortville and a bus took others to Lafayette for the state convention. As money-making projects, the club sold greet- ing cards, and candy at two basketball games. We also have a program to help the needy. The committee in charge of this was: Pat Dixon, Phyllis Thomas, Alice Branch, and Wanda Lowder. Each girl chooses someone, whom she ad- mires greatly, to be her Ideal Lady. All through the year they correspond and ex- change gifts through the Ideal Lady coni- mittee. At the close of the school year a tea is held and the Ideal Ladies discover the identity of their Sunshine Girls. This year we have a new sponsor, Mrs. Lee S. Jarrett. Our officers are: Ruth Tabb, president, Jacqueline Fowler, vice-president, Wanda Ratts, secretary, Caroline Fesler, cor- responding secretaryg Nancy Lou Dickens, treasurer. Probably the most worked com- mittee in Sunshine was the Ideal Lady com- mittee composed of: Judy Guenther, Eva El- liott, Ina Beryl Pearcy, and Alice Rose Moore. July Guenther directed the work of the com- mittee and held the tea at her home.

Since 1937 Mr. Horton has been basketball coach at Mattoon, Illinois, where he established an excellent record. This season at Martinsville Mr. Horton did a marvelous job with the team. He has produced the most successful team which Martinsville has had in recent years.

His ex- ceptional shooting ability has caused numerous headaches for opponents. BILL BATES: A regular for the past two years and one of the team's best scorers. His left hand was feared by opponents. Bill's fight and determina- tion sparked the team on many occasions. He will be missed in more ways than one next year. EPH GOSS: Has been a valuable varsity member during the past three seasons. Eph's height made him the mainstay on rebounds. His team spirit has been a deciding factor in many games. JERRY KIVETT: A guard, has proved himself a reliable ball handler. When the going was rough, Jerry was there. CLARENCE LITTELL: Was a substitute forward. His willingness made him dependable. Clarence is a senior. HECKLERS HAROLD DIXON: A regular, was the valuable little man. Harold's speed was a great asset to the team. He will be one of the men next year. DAVID CRAVENS: Center, will be back again next year.

LONG DIRECTOR 47 ' 1 I A'l But for life the universe were nothing, and all that has life requires nourishment. With the progress of knowledge, the needs of the human body have not been forgotten. During the past quarter century much time has been given to the study of foods and their use in the body. A knowledge of the prin- ciples of diet should be an essential part of everyone's education. The M. H. S. Cafeteria offers opportunity to students interested in diet and food preparation. Foods classes pre- RAFTY KITCHENERS pare food in quantity for school lunch when convenient. Laboratory lessons have added interest when family size portions are pre- pared and the finished product is used in the lunch room. New Sunbeam electric equipment has also added new interest to laboratory work this year. A Coffee Maker, Mix Master, toast master, waHle iron, and iron were purchased for the foods classes. Before the opening of the 1947-1948 school year the cafeteria in- Miss Opal Gray, cashierg Martha Bunton, Rosemary Bales, Mary Louise Bales, Joan Wiggins, Barbara Moore, Helen Wade, Betty O'Neal, Pauline Mason, Colleen Alexander, Don Traub, Mrs. Myra Hochstetler, instructor, Mrs. Louise Skaggs, Mrs. Flossie Stroud, Mrs. Nora Mur- phy if 4 L' ' U 48 THE CAFETERIA stalled a new three sectioned gas range, a Blodgett gas bake oven, a water heater and softener, and a Hobart mixer and grinder. A two compartment pot and pan sink was pur- chased to replace the small drain board sink. During the month of November a new stainless steel dish washing machine was in- stalled. Some equipment was purchased from War Surplus during the past year. A dish truck, cooking utensils, cutlery, dishes, and chairs were among these articles. The cafe- teria dining room hall, kitchen, and the Nurs- ing and Sewing laboratores were redecorated during the Christmas holidays. New drapes were purchased for the Cafeteria and Sewing laboratory. The cafeteria opened the first day of school this year. During the first six months of the school year a total of 30,000 meals were served to the faculty, guests, and students. Many children from the South School build- ing make up a part of our lunch group. Miss Opal Gray operated the cash register and had charge of cafeteria funds. She also assisted with preparation and serving of food at all extra activities. Mr. Hochstetler helped Miss Gray in checking lunch tickets. Colleen sells the sweets. Mrs. Louise Skaggs and Mrs. Nora Murphy have had charge of the preparation of food during the past year. Mrs. Flossie Stroud acted as assistant. Mrs. Myrtle Bothwell and Mrs. Evelyn Pearcy were substitutes. Mrs. Winkler of Centerton helped with the work during the first two months of school. Betty Bastin, Sara Kelso, Minnie Ennis, and Marilyn Asher, all members of the 1946-1947 cafeteria class, were on duty during the open- ing days this year. Members of the 1947-1948 cafeteria class were Betty O'Neal, Barbara Moore, Martha L. Bunton, Joan Wiggins, Mary L. Bales, Rosemary Bales, and Helen Wade. Mary Louise Bales withdrew at the end of the first semester and Phyllis Jackson took her place in the class. Pauline Mason assisted Mrs. Skaggs with the sandwich line in the foods laboratory. Phyllis Long and Joyce Krise have helped with food preparation during the first period every day. The candy case was operated by Colleen Alexander in the north hall near the dinette. Myra M. Hochstetler is cafeteria manager and instructor in junior and senior high school foods classes. Everyone eats! Chow line. A Whavs cookinhg Hey, Breadboy! 9.5, ,QQ--' 1 - O S T L I IC' Legio Decima is one of the largest clubs of the Martinsville High School. It is composed of all the members of the Latin Department. For the year 1947-1948 the membership totals 82 members. The club is named for Caesar's famous Tenth Legion and carries with it cer- tain ideals of service, dependability, strenuous effort, and top accomplishments. For the school year 1947-1948 they have sponsored two major projects: The first was the school decorations at Christmas time. They accented with evergreens the Christmas Murals displayed in the halls by the art classes. They decorated two twelve-foot Christmas trees placed at either end of the stageg and made elaborate Christmas wreaths of cellophane and metallic paper for the cyclo- rama. These were illuminated with green spotlights giving a beautiful holiday atmos- phere in the auditorium. Throughout the week previous to the holiday vacation, Christ- mas music recordings were played during the noon hour. On March 12 Legio Decima gave an elabor- .Vi NGO ate auditorium program for the senior high school and eighth grade entitled, Roamin' with the Romans. The theme song was: ROAMIN' WITH THE ROMANS Roamin' with the Romans On the ancient streets of Rome BACK WHEN Roamin' with the Romans By the Tiber's yellow foam AND THEN When the Latin Lesson's done OH BOY! Only then can I have fun GREAT JOY Oh it's hectic Roamin' with the Romans. Roamin' with the Romans Every morning just at nine ON TIME Roamin' with the Romans Every lesson right in line THAT'S FINE When Caesar's put to rest EACH NIGHT That's the time that I love QUITE NIGHT best Oh it's hectic Roamin' with the Romans. In this program you heard Caesar and Cicero speaking the same as they might speak were they living today. A skit was drama- tized such as Virgil might write were he liv- ing today. This program was praised by both students and teachers.

Miss Mae McCoy, director of the journalism class, sometimes tears her wig, but no great harm has resulted to the class. Student editors are chosen for each issue. They have been Bob Stultz and Bob Maxwell for the Thanksgiving issue. They served as the first student editors for the 1947-48 volume. Betty Chambers and Jane Ann Hor- ton were co-editors for the Christmas issue. Jim Coffey served as sports editor. Printshop teachers and students are in charge of the printing. One of the many specialities of the Herald this year was the presentation of Miss Merry Christmas. The lucky girl was Phyllis Thomas, who was nominated by the Journal- ism class and elected by the seniors. Phyllis was the first Miss Merry Christmas of MHS. The Fall Frolic of 1947 was co-sponsored by the Herald staff and Artesian staff and was presented as a money making project. Front: Ethel Mulder, Bessie Powell, Miss McCoy, Betty Chambers. Back: Bob Stultz, Bob Maxwell, The frolic was a type of carnival on a smaller scale. It was held in the Recreation Hall in November. Talent was derived from the students of MHS. Don Traub, Marlene Lemons, Robert Maxwell, and Don Congram were the per- formers of the evening. Nancy Hyatt, Junior editor of the Artesian, and Jane Ann Horton of the Artesian staff were sent to Franklin as the delegates from Martinsville to the Indiana High School Press Association convention, on October the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth. The girls gained useful knowledge. They heard the two noted authors, Mrs. Jeanette Covert Nolan and John Mason Brown, lecture. The Artesian Herald is a type of record and reference chart of the happenings that were important in the past year. This year, as always, we have attempted to include al- most everything that has happened. We would like to thank students and teach- ers for the co-operation through interview, throughout the '47-'48 term. Also the Demo- crat office which is responsible for the lino- typing.

We are part of a National organization which includes 47 of the 48 states and Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Some of our local activities consist of con- tests such as: pest eradication, public speak- ing, essay writing, attendance, competition regarding the treasurer's book, the reporter's scrap book, and the secretary's book. Other activities are seed selling and the gilt project. Two years ago the chapter made a trip to Cincinnati, last summer to St. Louis and is planning to go to Chicago this summer. Last summer the chapter held a project tour visit- ing some of the member's homes and looking over their projects. Five regular night meet- ings will be held this year. They are two summer meetings, parent and talent night, girl friend night, and father and son banquet. Special meetings were the installation of new chapters. The Future Farmers were victorious over the Hi-Y in a sensational basketball game this year with the admission charge going to the T. B. fund 455721. Melvin Maxwell received the American Farmer degree which is the highest degree that can be awarded in the F. F. A. Last year Edward Lynn received the Hoosier Farmer degree, the highest degree that can be awarded by the state. Bob Kitchen and Merrill Maxwell are candidates for the Hoosier Farmer degree this year.

P We Q' 'w ' UIZ KIDS NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Since about 1927 Martinsville High School has selected a limited number of seniors to represent the school's quota for membership in the National Honor Society. This organi- zation, which has chapters in almost 3,000 of the larger high schools in the United States, has grown rapidly because it provides recog- nition that is due some students who may not receive athletic awards. The purpose of the organization is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in pupils of Martinsville High School. Candidates, to be eligible for elec- tion to membership, must stand in the first third of their classes in scholarship. Not more than 15 per cent of any senior class may be elected to membership. The entire faculty votes. Those receiving the highest number of votes become members. The active members are selected in the second semester of the junior year and make up the active membership. The group shown here made up the members who put on the induction ceremony for the 1947 seniors. They also handled concessions to earn money for the purchase of pins which were given to each new member at the time of induction. The emblem of the Society is the keystone and fiaming torch . The keystone bears at its base the letters C, S, L, and S which stand for the four cardinal principles of its organization: Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Serv- ice. The complete list of seniors who were elected from the 1948 class is as follows: Ruth Evelyn Tabb, presidentg Thomas Flake, sec- retary-treasurerg Carol Coleman, Pat Dixon, Phyllis McRoberts, Anita Abbott, Roger Ad- kins, Bill Bates, Betty Chambers, Ephriam Goss, Imogene Maxwell, Robert Maxwell, Vir- ginia Musgrave, Bettie Pratt, Phyllis Thomas.

This is a co-operative class in training for retail selling positions. Each student spends the regular time in class and in addition works part time in the co-operat- ing businesses in Martinsville. Each student receives one unit of credit for his classwork and one unit of credit for his part time em- ployment. The student's schedule is arranged so that he may be excused from school at the end of the fourth period to begin his work. Each student is expected to work at least 15 hours per week, but he may work as many more as necessary. ROW 1: Ruby Piercefield, Newberry'sg Bill Plummer, Smith, R. E. A. The co-operating business men have been well pleased with this program because it en- ables them to train better their prospective full-time employees. Needless to say the stu- dents like this arrangement also, as it enables them to receive full credit for their time on the job, and, in addition, regular pay at the prevailing rate. Probably of most impor- tance to the student is the fact that he enters the business world with a much higher level of vocational training. A high percentage of the students in this class continue after graduation in the stores which co-operated with the school in their training during their senior year.

Among these are winning the S. C. C. tourney in 1946-47, Don Hammons taking individual scoring hon- ors, and placing second in the 1947-48 S. C. C. meet, Bob Callis and Bob Stultz taking the two low individual scoring honors. Members of the 1947-48 team are Tom Ken- nedy, the only sophomore, John Bob Hacker, Bob Callis, and David Cook, juniors, and Bob Stultz, senior. During the summer months Bob Stultz made a hole-in-one at the Martins- ville Country Club, which automatically quali- fied him for the Indianapolis Star's Hole-In- One contest. Bob Callis won the Martinsville City Championship when he defeated Harry Poole, 133 up and 11 to go. During the spring the team played Green- castle and Bedford here and Columbus there. They defeated Greencastle and Columbus but were beaten by Bedford. The boys of Mar- tinsville High School's golf team really have a reputation to maintain because in 1939, the last year of golf before '45, Dale Morey, now a well-known golf pro at St. Louis, George Pearcy, Eugene Jordan, and Joe Prewitt won the South Central Conference by a wide mar- gin. Also, as far back as anyone can remem- ber Martinsville High School's golf team has been one to fear. They have beaten such teams as Bedford, Bloomington, Tech of In- dianapolis, Columbus, Seymour, Franklin, and Shortridge. 5 NDAUNTED UNDERSTUDIES IUNIOR HIGH DRAMA-TIC CLUB The Junior High Drama-Tic Club was or- ganized in the fall of 1947, for the purpose of encouraging speaking and performing abilities. The membership was limited to the eighth grade students. The twelve boys seeking admission were automatically ad- mitted. Fifty girls sought membership and twenty were chosen through tryouts, bring- ing the membership to 32. The officers elected were: Carol Gray, president: Wilma Fisher, secretary, Jon Lee, treasurer. The first presentation was Good Ameri- can, a patriotic play given for the junior high in November. The December production was Too Much Mistletoe, a comedy, given for the High School P. T. A. In February two pantomimes were presented at an auditorium program, a modern version of Bluebeard and Dear Aunt Matilda. In March, The Princess None Such was given.

This made a total membership of thirty-two. New members elected were: Barbara Ander- son, Robert Arkin, Carol Brubaker, Phillip like1If'ffj A I5fI .'S'?'j1 Dunn, Frances Esteb, ' ' 'H K 'I 5' M Chester Fleener, Mary Ellen Hammons, Joan Hite, Don Kennedy, Zane Knoy, and Wanda Ratts. At the first meeting officers were elected to serve for the year. Janis Duckworth, Bob Johnson, and Barbara Garrison, vice president, secretary, and treas- urer, respectively were chosen. Elsie Hand was elected president in the spring of 1947. Early meetings of the year were concerned with plans for various meetings, programs, field trips, and the gaining of points for con- tinued membership. All members eagerly aspire toward membership in the National Thespian Society with which Martinsville High School affiliated last spring by initiating Ivznru Harris-m, tri-asm'er I 1 I 1 In I Iiickwmtll Xl 1 I Il I I fifteen members of the Dramatics Club. Mem- bers of this year's club who were initiated last year into National Thespian Troupe 818 were: John Adams, Bob Curtis, Bette Denny, Janis Duckworth, Barbara Garrison, Elsie Hand, Dale Hines, Bob Johnson, Mildred Mc- Roberts, Alice Rose Moore, and Mary Swin- ney. Initiation will be held this spring for approximately fifteen WI- I'.'f fAl'l .'IllE 'f .- ','. If members who will have ' 'L' 'mm I ' M n gained the necessary points for membership. The first program given by the club was presented on February 13 to members of sen- ior high. The program consisted of two one- act plays which cen- tered around two important February dates. In celebration of Abraham Lincoln's birth- day The Missing Line was chosen. St. Valentine was honored by a play entitled A Game of Hearts. The plays were student directed and produced. Plans were made for attendance of a pro- duction in the Little Theater, Indianapolis. The library fund for dramatics literature which was established last year was used in the purchase of a few new books.

THE PROPHECY President Larry St. John Washington, D. C. Dear Larry: This is just a note to let you know how much I enjoyed your wonderful reception. It never occurred to me when you were back in the halls of M. H. S. that someday you would be President of the United States. I'm sorry I wasn't able to talk to you at the reception, but I thought I'd write and tell you all about my trip. AMOS OWNS AIRFIELD The plane was scheduled to leave from the airfield owned by Ulysses Amos on flight 10 at 11:32 p. m., but, due to some defect, we couldn't leave just then. You can imagine my surprise when Andrew Burleigh, Francis Holden, and Charles Anderson came rushing out of the maintenance building to see what the whole trouble was. Still another surprise was in store for me. When we walked up to the plane, there stood Virginia Lowder, look- ing cute as ever in her stewardess' uniform. Then I glanced up front and saw Bob Cragen going into the control room. I heard Virginia say that Bob was to pilot the plane. I found an empty seat across the aisle from an attrac- tive couple. Upon closer inspection, I found them to be the former Judy Guenther and her husband, the newly elected governor of In- diana. I settled into my seat and I must have dozed off, because the next thing I saw was you with your two new cabinet members, Bob Hensley and Simon Scherer coming to meet the plane. AULD LANG SYNE It was quite a thrill to see most of the one hundred members of your class. Over in one corner there was Phyllis Heiny telling your attractive wife all about her duties at the Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. And of course, everywhere you went, there was Eph Goss flirting gaily with all the attractive females. Being a potential playboy, he can do that. Then I saw Daniel Atherton, famed marathon runner, talking over his exper- iences at the Olympic games with Bob Stultz, the well known golf pro. Didn't Fern CShire- manl Hicks look stunning as the pretty wife of a successful civil engineer? And speaking of beauties what about our own Anita Abbott being a Powers' model? I also hear Phyllis Thomas is going to pose for Redbook's cover next month. I noticed Bill Bates talking to Bob Maxwell and drawing on the tablecloth. Later I learned that Bob has Bill under con- tract to draw up the plans for his new depart- ment store. Harold Keith is managing the construction. EDUCATION TAKES OVER Yes, and there are those among your class who have reverted to education. Helen Fishel is Physical Education instructor at Bryn Mawr and Joe Baughman is an Agriculture Professor at Purdue University. Ruby Pierce- field is teaching speech at Vassar and learn- ing the fundamentals of farming on the side. It surely is great to learn that a lot of you have really gotten somewhere in the world. For instance, U. S. Representative Betty Chambers, Senator Raymond Buchanan, and U. N. Representative Thomas Flake. Didn't I see JoAnn Porter, Patsy Davies, and Helen Prater modeling some of those new styles from their dress shop? Roger Adkins, now basketball coach at Yale, was there in a heated argument with Dwaine Clark, noted football coach of Notre Dame. They told us that Johnie Anderson had recently retired from professional track. - I DO THE PASSWORD Oh, yes! I mustn't forget the married mem- bers of your class. There was Colleen 1Alex- anderl Foster with her sister-in-law, the former Mary Foster, Betty fGroundsJ Wood, the former Evelyn Hacker and Pauline Mason, and also Alice fGil1aspyJ Bastin. Sev- eral of the kids have opened an Advice Agency. Shirley Beaver tells you how to get a man, Betty Long tells you what to do after you've got him, and Phyllis McRoberts tells you how to keep him. I also noticed Robert Jarrett quieting a few of the violent ones. I noticed the Motor Bike Company was well represented at the reception. I suppose you knew the company was owned by Ray Bolin, Austin McKee, John Williams, and Sheldon Johnson. Their secretary, Georgia Cherry, was there, too. Ralph Shumaker is another member who is quite successful in the busi- ness world. He has enlarged the Shumaker Super Shoe Shop and employs Lewanna Smith as his accountant. And Bill Weddle is getting ahead in the real estate world. An- other business success was JoElla Wilkinson and Phyllis Stiles with their Sweet Shoppe. I envy Clifford Wilson his position as official candy taster. ATOM BOMB IS IMPROVED Wasn't it nice to hear about Carol Cole- man and Virginia Musgrave's new scientific discovery? It's a secret, but I hear it's an improvement on the atomic bomb. Helen Wade, Norma Prather, Julia Sullivan, and Wilma Lee Stewart are holding secretarial positions at several big companies. Didn't those paintings of Bess Powell's and Jim Coffey's look lovely on the walls of the White House? Frances Burkett and Jean Finchum have started their annual trip abroad to learn some new techniques of giggling. Guy Deck, president of the Morgan County Farm Bu- reau was there, accompanied by his secretary, Jackie Stewart. Bill Caldwell was unable to attend because he was driving in the Speed- way Races in Indianapolis. I thought Pat Dixon looked very nice in her fashionable white dress. Could it be that she's trying to show off her Florida tan? I saw Carolyn Fesler, the popular dress de- signer, having a cozy chat with Ruth Tabb, a devoted social service worker. It was too bad that Imogene Maxwell was unable to come, but her all girl orchestra is making a country wide tour. It's good to hear that George Scott has made good by crooning with a big name band. Elsie Hand now holds the na- tional championship for baton twirling. I was glad to see Jerry Kivett become a radio- newspaper commentator. He has a daily column in Clarence Littell's newspaper, on which Donna Smith is at work as an artist. Those living on the farm are: Carl Hart, Clifford Heidenreich, Kenneth Hine, Bill Plummer, and Fred Schoolcraft. I learned that Margaret Hastings, famous novelist, is retiring to marry an eminent doctor. And that Don Congram is a press photographer. FOWLER FETCHES BEAUTY Jackie Fowler has opened up a new line of Fowler Cosmetics, and employed Charles Cohen as company accountant. Bettie Pratt is mixing prescriptions in Fletcher's drug store, and Emma Richards is handling the extras. Lester Sichting is assistant manager of Penney's, and Lawrence Stiles is manager of the Circle Theater. Kenneth Thacker is making commercial glider flights for TWA. Joan Wiggins and Mary Jane Williams are employed by the government as receptionists. On the way back, some of the class stopped off to see the Ideal Farm co-owned by Henry Ennis, Robert Cooksey, Jean Lebo, and Dale Cornelius. I stopped in Chicago, too, to see the Cue and Cushion, the billiards club owned by Delmar Hensley, Bob Keller, and Eugene Whitaker. Just as I was getting ready to disappear until the next reunion, I spotted Ethel Mulder going into the St. Vin- cent's Hospital where she is taking nurse's training. Well, thanks again for the wonderful time, and 'I hope you're all going to meet again real soon!
