‘TflMtlb for student talent and hospitality A foreign flavor was given M.H.S. by Jody Raemaekers of Holland and Gene Foist, who lived in Chinki, Korea, for one and a half years. Jody, on lend lease from the Netherlands, affords students a glimpse of her homeland. Gene, who is considered an authority on Oriental affairs, points out Korea to his geography class. Jody won honorable mention on the an¬ nual student amateur program where the “things,” Phil Dunn, Don See, John Hine, and Marvin Williams, rendered Phil Harris ' hit tune. One of the winners on the pro¬ gram was Martin Boggs, assisted by Gerald Holmes, with his life-size television pro¬ gram. Eating occupies student time — occasion¬ ally even during school hours. Mrs. Hoch- stetler and Donice Prather serve the annual Christmas banquet to the Foods class, while Janet Gibson pours for the home economics students at the annual Yuletide F.H.A. tea. Class routine is interrupted by other di¬ versions. Four government students, Jack Cragen, Carolyn Godsey, Margaret Van Winkle, and Marvin Williams, present a panel discussion on citizenship to members of the Central School P.T.A. Artists Marilyn McDaniel, Frances Mul¬ der, Sue Branch and Linda Davis paint the Santa mural that decorated the main hall the week before Christmas. Ellen Bowers, John Bergman, and Patty Quakenbush inspect the new desks in Room 12. A social dancing class got beyond the talking stage this winter when members of F.F.A. solicited help from Miss Stalcup and Mrs. Davis, who rounded up several en¬ thusiastic student teachers. At the left in the shadows Patsy Ayres gives a few point¬ ers to James West, who — rumor has it — insists on nightly practice in the Ayres’ parlor. In the foreground are Jim Ander¬ son and Carole Meredith; to the right are John Thomas and Peggy Carr. 10

and broader understandings The richly varied curriculum is intended to produce competent, healthy citizens who will be equipped to earn a living and make some contribution to the general welfare. Those who choose an industrial arts course spend, in either their junior or senior years, half their school day master¬ ing the operation of various mechanisms found in the machine shop. Mr. Hochstetler explains the functions of a metal lathe to Delbert Scott and Harold Porter. In order to graduate from M.H.S., you must successfully peruse a year of science. Many students choose biology. Here a group of biology students ponder the classi¬ fications of various organisms under the tutelage of Mr. Gill. Left to right, the young scientists are Stan Whetstine, Webetta Wil¬ son, Bruce Throc kmorton, Wilma Thomp¬ son, Shirley Turney, Robert St. John. Ray Ayers, who is taking the six-weeks unit in concrete in the general shop course, totters under a load of concrete during the repair of the school sidewalks. Learning by doing, veteran mathematicians Marvin Wil¬ liams, Bill Neal, Bailey Davis, and John Bergman determine the height of the sec¬ ond niche over the gym entrance, via ap¬ plied trigonometry. 9

TTffFo for faculty fun and frolic SPRIN GTIME: J. B. Moore, considered quite expert with the horseshoes, draws a bead upon the stake during one of his leisure moments. ... Mrs. Kitchen, formerly Miss Underwood, is presented with a rolling pin as a wedding present by Mr. Kurtz at last year’s underclass day. PRACTICE TIME: Serving a brief period as apprentices in the Martinsville school system, Don Thrasher, Leslie Kenworthy, and Paul Burbrink earned student teaching credit from Indiana and Purdue University. Mr. Kenworthy assisted Mr. Bremer with government, while Mr. Thrasher and Mr. Burbrink aided Mr. Telfer in Vocational Agriculture. DANCE TIME: Mr. Elliott, who, along with various other faculty members, shake a surprisingly mean leg on the dance floor, dances with Mrs. Elliott at the Lettermen’s dance. TIME OUT: Faculty members called for numerous and elongated respites during the Infantile Paralysis Benefit game. Here they are displaying remarkable energy and fash¬ ionable warm-up suits before the game. Norman Coglan, a hot shot for the faculty, prepares to miss a free throw. OVERTIME: Having students stay after school is supposed to be a favorite pastime of teachers. Math teacher Francis Smith gets the best response. Here Andre Bow¬ man fathoms the mystery of adding alge¬ braic fractions. 11
