. ARTESIAN THE 1952 MARTINSVILLE Martinsville 2 RTR Sl2 N for fH 9 MARTINSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL i JL o progress is to build; and sometimes to build, the old must make way for the new. The building of a farm shop to expand the opportunities in the vocational agriculture course has pro¬ vided the theme for THE 1952 ARTESIAN. As we walk down the hall chatting, study our lessons, cheer our athletes, take part in club meetings, or practice the class plays, we are build¬ ing. We are laying sturdy foundations on which to build our personalities into more stately mansions. Our building mate¬ rials are vocational skills, civic attitudes, cultural appreciations, and friendly associations. Page Three CONTENTS Faculty 6 Administration 12 Organizations 20 Sports 46 Classes 56 New Personalities Shaped by a Wide Variety tBuilding T aLe$ Place in and out of Clate Into the building process that fashions each of us into a distinct personality, with many of the same hopes and aspira¬ tions of others and yet different from every other one, into this process go many experiences. Remember when you followed the fire truck down Jefferson Street to the pep rally? Or were you up there in all your glory with the rest of the team? Remember the thrill of explaining your club to the student body at the first convocation of the year when the new teachers were introduced? Remember that speaker who made one class period a special memory? Remember your trials as a club officer, or was it just a committee member? Out of such building materials did our personalities develop this year. Wheel People probably thought the south end of town was on fire, but it was really an attempt to kindle some enthusiasm in the football team and its loyal followers. The introduction of teachers always starts off the activity program for the year. Mrs. Pfeiffer thought the prin¬ cipal was kidding about her giving a speech; so she settles for a friendly “hello.” Page Four Of Experiences Dual purpose trimmings! They’re projects in the advanced geometry class and then they’re eye-catching lustre decorations on the Library Christmas tree. Glass blowing is an art for the per¬ son with a steady eye and hand. The biology classes, and anyone else that could sneak in, enjoyed the fascinat¬ ing demonstration by Mr. Frank Long, from the Indianapolis Chil¬ dren’s Museum. Mary Jane Porter pins the red and blue symbol on Robert Lewis that makes him a member of the Sports¬ manship Club, while Janet Poore ar¬ ranges one of the posters made by GAA members to remind the students of their manners. The Lancasters offered a breath¬ taking half-hour of entertainment, exhibiting an agile foot and a steady hand. The biology open house, sponsored by Mr. John Carson, was a huge suc¬ cess. It revealed to many parents new ideas which they would never have dreamed their children could get in a high school science course. Leadership, responsibility and par¬ liamentary procedure are learned by club officers. Georgia McFarland, Dolores Maxwell, Betty Jo Hess, and Lou Ann Hatter, as GAA officers, got several pointers from Mrs. McDonald this year. Bremer Bailey Lee DaVee To be found in the tool box of the social scien¬ tist are such diverse things as pamphlets on social behavior, statistical charts, time lines, maps, distance charts, and notebooks.

New aids in building these skills are the tape recorder, the gift of the Class of 1951, and the Reading Accelerator, used in the new remedial English course.

Smith Hazelett Thomas Blackboard drill of arithmetic fundamentals in the junior high gives the student a set of simple tools to which he may add in the algebra, geometry and trig courses offered later. In the use of these tools the mathematics department assigns practical problems for solution. Heading the department is Miss Margaret Rose, teaching advanced and refresher math; Francis Smith teaches algebra and general math; John Hazelett, arithmetic and general math; Foster Thom¬ as, arithmetic, and Mrs. Mathilda McKrill has one class in algebra. Math and Science Build Foundation for Technical Age After the general survey of science to which students are exposed in the junior high, most stu¬ dents take a year of biology as freshmen. Many who are preparing for college or jobs in technical and scientific fields elect physics and chemistry. In all these courses the science department stresses the need for scientific thinking to meet the problems of our technical age. Chemistry, physics and applied electricity are taught by J. B. Moore, head of the department; biology by John Carson, and general science by Merrill Cox and Cecil Moore. J. B. Moore Carson Cox Page Seven “ k ’ ‘ V. ' ij Mann Brown Elmore Hochstetler The industrial arts shops, the land of sawdust, printer’s ink, and electrician’s tape, give students opportunities to do creative and accurate building with woodworking tools, metal lathes, drawing boards, and printing presses. Graduates who have specialized in vocational industrial arts consistently land good jobs in industry because of their skills. Department head When Hochstetler handles the vocational machine ship; Kenneth Elmore has wood¬ working and printing; John Mann has drawing and general shop, and Ward Brown has a class in general shop. Industrial Arts and Agriculture Lead to Good Jobs Such practical experience as learning to use an instrument to measure the moisture-content of grain, demonstrated below, and actual record keep¬ ing on their own farm production projects occupies much of the time and energy of the boys in the vocational agriculture department. Instructor Virgil Telfer is anxiously awaiting the time when the new farm shop will not have to be used for elementary classrooms so that he can further enrich the experiences of his students with facilities to build and repair farm tools, combining classroom, laboratory and shop in one area. Telfer Page Eight Hochstetler Davis Richardson Building better home life is the general aim of the home economics depa rtment. To attain this goal, courses and units are offered in food prepara¬ tion, sewing, interior decorating, baby care, and other problems which the girls later as housewives may encounter. Students May Build Homemaking, Business By following a course of study that starts with general business and progresses through typing, shorthand, office practice and bookkeeping, a stu¬ dent can graduate with the skills that are needed to fill many positions in the business field. The department is especially pleased with the acquisition Bowers Kitchen Baker Mrs. Myra Hochstetler, head of the department, has homemaking classes and manages the cafeteria; besides her counseling duties Mrs. Helen Davis teaches two classes in the department, and Mrs. Ita Richardson, an addition to the department this year, has a full schedule of homemaking classes. Skills of an audiograph for the typing and shorthand classes. Head of the department is Hubert Bowers, teach¬ ing Typing I and II; Herschel Baker has classes in bookkeeping, general business and typing, and Mrs. Marie Kitchen, shorthand and general business. Page Nine Page Ten Rankin Johnson McKrill Learning the use of the new air brush is just one way that art students can express their talent. They also learn to use oils, watercolors, tempera, pastel, textiles, linoleum block, metals and clay. Roy Rankin gave up the elementary art supervision to come to the high school full time in January. “Europa non est insula.” Foreign languages not only improve our vocabularies but also give us an insight into the ways of life in other countries. Mrs. Mathilda McKrill, head of the department, teaches Latin, and Mrs. Mary Louise Johnson has the Span¬ ish classes. Cultural Opportunities Aid Personality Building While music offers vocational possibilities to a few talented people, the music department serves a more important function in our educational building process. Along with art, literature, and languages it develops cultural appreciation, not only in the active participants but in the student body through Elliott P. Smith frequent music programs at convocation time. Richard Elliott, head of the department, directs the band and orchestra and teaches harmony. Miss Priscilla Smith directs the vocal groups and the string orchestra. Both teachers also carry on instru¬ mental work with grade school pupils. Building Sound Bodies Is Major Educational Aim Promoting physical health and well-being is a major aim of the modern school system. Classes in health and safety stress accident prevention, first-aid procedures, disease prevention and care, and bal¬ anced diet. Actual training in safe driving is offered in the driver training program. Horton Bisesi Coglan McDonald The actual development of better physical bodies through exercise is promoted by the physical education classes. Un¬ til his resignation Burchard Horton taught health and safety and had classes in phys¬ ical education. In January his classes w ere taken over by Clifford Hill. Vincent Bisesi handles the driver training classes; Norman Coglan, boys’ physical education, and Mrs. Doris McDonald, girls’ physi¬ cal education. jJVEft training • a! tNDPICKSON t, COMPANY I your, f • C) f?

Kurtz Superintendent Glenn Curtis Head Supervisors Direct Huge Project Offices of the head contractor and chief foreman are occupied by Mr. Glenn Curtis and Mr. Royce E. Kurtz. Superintendent Curtis is constantly striving for new and prac¬ tical methods for the school. Through his effort we have under construction a new farm shop. Mr. Curtis supervises three grade schools and the junior-senior high school. This school city of 2,270 pupils and 99 em¬ ployees has a larger enrollment than any other city in our population class. Chief foreman Kurtz is responsible for the direct supervision of teachers and the total school program. During Mr. Kurtz’s five years as principal, we have broadened our guidance program, including testing and personal counseling; enlarged the curricular offerings to include such new areas as Span¬ ish, Latin America and the Far East, remedial English, bookkeeping, speech, and driver training, and published the student hand¬ book, Red and Blue. Handling many of the details of these offices are Miss Maxine Cohen, secretary to the principal; Miss Mamie Messmer, secretary to the superintendent, and Mrs. Barbara Caress, who works both in the office of the superintendent and the assistant principal. Maxine Cohen Mamie Messmer Barbara Caress Page Twelve Ward E. Brown Mrs. Helen Davis Kenneth Taylor School Board Draws Plans for System As architects of school policy, the Board of School Trustees sets up a budget, hires teachers, and approves changes that may be necessary to meet new conditions. This year the Board approved the spending of hundreds of dollars for such maintenance as roof re¬ pairs, interior painting, black-topping of the parking lot, and restringing the rope on the flag pole. Mr. Eugene Barnard has served on the School Board for eleven years, Mr. War¬ ren Schnaiter for ten, and Mr. Merrill Wilson for six years. Three people who also have very vital jobs in our school system are often overloo ked. Mrs. Helen Davis, dean of girls, has gained a long-needed office this year in one end of the Home Nursing room, and now carries on a more thorough counseling and girls’ at¬ tendance program. Kenneth Taylor has for several years car¬ ried out his duties as attendance director, and spends much time traveling around the school city and its outskirts in this capacity. Our assistant principal and dean of boys, Mr. Ward Brown, works with the boys’ at¬ tendance and also counsels with the male contingent, as well as serving as junior high principal. Warren Schnaiter, secre¬ tary of the School Board, is manager of the Martins¬ ville Milling Company; Merrill Wilson, president, is cashier of the First Na¬ tional Bank, and Eugene Barnard, treasurer, is a farm manager. Page Thirteen Counselors and Custodians Add Their Bit Testing Director John Bremer ex¬ plains the directions of one of the several tests that he administers in the elementary and high schools. At regular times in a pupil’s school career his mental ability, achieve¬ ment, and aptitudes are measured as an aid in his educational guidance. Speech and hearing therapist Pat Huntington is a new addition to the MHS faculty. After administering speech and hearing tests, she gives remedial instruction. Miss Hunting- ton spends one day each week in the high school and four in the grades. Advice is given students on the school program which would best fit their future vocations by counselors Herschel Baker, Georgia Marshall, and Max Shaw. The high school offices, library, and bookstore each have a staff of student assistants.

Page Fourteen Special Services Reinforce Foundation The new fluorescent lights in Miss Georgia Moore’s domain absolutely entice all, scholars and the rest of us, to turn over a new leaf and search for building blocks for our education. Over one hundred new books have been added to our library this year to increase its usefulness to students and teachers. Here our own Florence Nightin¬ gale, Mrs. Jean Favour, assists in making one of the “sick” beds in room 7. Mrs. Favour plans and car¬ ries on an extensive health program in the city schools, placing a great deal of emphasis on preventing ill¬ ness before it has started. A new face appeared in our private stationer’s shop this year. Mrs. Helen Coglan now manages the services of this familiar landmark. Not only does she run the supply sales, but she also does a great deal of bookkeeping for each club and school activity. Page Fifteen p Time out for doughnuts and coke at the autumn’s first social event, the Lettermen’s Club Harvest Dance. Building Shakes as Fall Activities Start All summer it lay dormant, a large unoccupied building on the southern edge of Martinsville. As August scurried on towards September, the building began to lift its face and brace itself for the thundering herd of one thousand students that poured into its refurbished halls on September 6. With cries of “Who’s stand¬ ing at my favorite radiator?” and “What home room did you get stuck in?” the 1951-52 school year was ushered in. During the very first full week or classes, new club prexies began to gather up their wandering flocks of old members, and first meetings soon filled any gaps in offices. Then membership prospects became known but couldn’t be accepted without initia¬ tion, of course; so lipstick and Halloween heads laughed and were laughed at, as the social season was launched. No wonder first-of- school days are so confusing! The sports season shot off to a rousing start with the opening gun of our first football game against Greensburg on the very first Friday night, September 7. But the odds were against us from the very beginning, and our cheers came to naught. As the un¬ lucky season progressed, a pep rally was planned to renew hope and spirit, and one particular October night resounded with sirens, Page Sixteen Christmas Programs Climax First Semester whistles, shouts, and gala music as a pep rally was staged to give the team that extra oomph. But, alas, the season wound up in the hole, and a mud-hole at that. On one Friday night between the football and basketball seasons, the Lettermen staged their annual Harvest Dance to brighten the weekend. Plaid shirts and blue jeans and a ticket admitted us to the new gym, which sel¬ dom has heard such stomping and frolicking. November also found the juniors deeply engrossed in their class play, “The Girl Friend,” and the star-studded cast put on three successful performances. Don’t let anyone say that December isn’t the busiest month of the year. With the hint A surprise visitor and that one Santa Claus, no less, as the Mixed Chorus sang the Waring arrange- mentof “The Night Before Christmas” in the annual Christmas program. Jerry certainly was a convincing pleader in the Junior Class play. Maybe it’s from years of practice; of the joyful holiday season in the air, all except the juniors could forget their cares. To the juniors December brought the threat of a refresher math test. But it also brought another outstanding paid program, a movie from the Field Museum of Chicago, showing the behind-the-scene workings of the museum and narrated directly by a museum worker. Christmas always brings a store of good treats: The Future Homemakers’ Tea for the faculty, the Hi-Y Christmas dance to the music of Jim Nash, and Santa Claus and the traditional choral program to send us off to our vacations. The Sunshine Society with a car load of gifts helped to lighten the season for the twelve people in the County Home. anyway it made “The Girl Friend” a hit at the matinee and evening performances. Santa made a special trip this year to the County Home with all of these gifts from the Sunshine girls. Twelve people were thrilled by the presents, and the girls who gave them were just as happy. Page Seventeen Full Schedule of Events Brightens Winter Routine Back from vacation, students put on their study caps and began to fret about semester exams. With the new semester under way, the biology classes showed off their first semes¬ ter’s labors in a night showing for the public. The freshmen celebrated the new semester with a mixer for the entire class. The month of February is always dreary, but Valentine’s Day came to bring hearts and flowers to the girls. Sectional time inevitably rolls around, and we journeyed to Blooming¬ ton, only to lose to Ellettsville in the finale. March brought College Day and representatives to give guidance to prospective college students. As the month pro¬ gressed so did several basketball teams, too, right up to the exciting finish. March saw both the Future Farmers and the Hi-Y making whoopee. The seniors were, too, at class play rehearsals, as they trudged on to solve the mysteries of “Drums of Death.” Easter vacation came and went in all too great a hurry, and the girls hardly got a chance to show off their new bon- LEFT: The biology open house turned out to be a huge success, and parents discovered that their children were learning things that they had never heard of.

Spring was here at last, bringing Prom-time. The juniors worked long and hard to choose just the right decorations, music, refreshments, and mood. They succeeded in high style, and the Prom was added to the list of things to remem¬ ber in 1952. The musical strains from the May Festival soon replaced the Prom tunes on everyone’s lips, and then it was time for the seniors to don their traditional gray robes, and they dis¬ appeared from the MHS halls to the strains of “Auf Wieder- sehen.” Then it was time for semester exams, Baccalaureate and, finally, Commencement. The last judgment day came immediately, and report cards — and then at last! Vacation’s here again! Goodbye, all. See you next fall!

The Martinsville chapter of the Future Homemakers of America is recognizing its fifteenth birthday this year, having been af¬ filiated with the state and national chapters since September, 1937. The club receives its policies, purpose, motto, and ideals from the national organization. In order to keep abreast of all the latest doings in the F. H. A. world, half of the 43 club members, accompanied by one of the Chapter Mothers, Mrs. Walter Smith, and the new club sponsor, Mrs. Ita Richardson, at¬ tended the fall district meeting October 13, at Brown County State Park. Delegates will also be sent to the district spring meeting and the state convention at Purdue in June. The activities of the F. H. A. are many. The Christmas Tea, with the faculty as guests, and the F. F. A.-Exchange party are just ex¬ amples. Also both formal and informal initia¬ tions are held. At this year’s informal initiation, a gala affair, the pledges were dressed as gypsies and escorted to homes in the community by their “big sisters.” Each pledge was required to do some menial household chore for the family. Observance of F. H. A. Week, a two-year- old innovation, was begun by the attendance of the whole chapter at the First Christian Church. Page Twenty-two Fifteenth Birthday with Variety of Activities Money-making projects play a prominent part in the club schedule. Selling candy at the noon hours, supplying workers for con¬ cessions at the ball games, and sponsoring the Dixie Four on March 24 were all means of increasing the chapter’s funds. Much-needed fluorescent lights, furnished by the group with the aid of school funds, were added in the sewing room, which doubles as the place for their bi-monthly meetings. The F. H. A. is open to all girls in grades ten through twelve, and the only requirement for becoming a member is at least one year of home economics. Membership is main¬ tained by earning a specific number of points, awarded for participation in the various activities. Points earned in F. H. A. activities also count towards honorary degrees of Junior Homemaker and Chapter Homemaker. These points can be earned by such activities as donating to baked goods or rummage sales, working on committees, working on ball-game concessions, attending church, attending reg¬ ular meetings and initiations, and participat¬ ing in special club activities. Each girl could watch her progress in point-making as stars were placed after her name on a chart in the chapter meeting room, presided over this year by Mrs. Ita Richardson. The gala event of the year is the F. H. A. Christmas tea. Members of the faculty are special guests, but all homemaking students are served as well. Chapter President Sara Pearcy is pouring for Gretchen Parmerlee, Joan Kitchen and Coletta Hacker. The formal initiation was the usual candlelight affair, with officers swearing in the awed candidates for membership. Page Twenty-three Selected to carry the burdens for the F.F.A. were John Lowry, sentinel; Merrill Adams, reporter; John Pearcy, vice-president; Don Coffey, president; Mr. Telfer, sponsor; Joe Wagaman, treasui’er; John Flake, secretary. The coveted gold emblem award for first place was won by the local Future Farmers of America chapter in this year’s state chap¬ ter contest. This award, based on all the activities for the year, goes to only two schools in the state. Last year the club won the silver emblem for second place. At the district meeting held at Columbus in March, Martinsville and Plainfield won the honor of representing District 8 in this year’s F.F.A. Wins Gold Emblem state contest. This was our eleventh year for a first place in the district. During the summer the chapter enjoyed a three-day trip by chartered bus to St. Louis. Besides seeing a baseball game between the Browns and Philadelphia Athletics, visiting the St. Louis zoo and Forest Park, and staying at the famed De Sota Hotel, the chapter toured the Purina research farm. Fifteen Greenhand candidates were taken to Plainfield on November 1 to be formally initiated along with candidates from other nearby chapters. And on November 15, thir¬ teen Greenhands went to Franklin, where they were initiated with boys from fourteen other schools in District 8 into the next high¬ est degree, the Chapter Farmer. The highest degree given by the state or¬ ganization, the Hoosier Farmer degree, was bestowed last April on John Flake and Merrill Adams and this year on John Thomas, John Pearcy, Jean Coleman, and Kenneth Kitchen, with Mr. Telfer winning an honorary Hoosier Farmer degree.

A school bus was furnished by Newt Wil¬ liams, local International Harvester dealer, for the annual summer project tour. This year the club inspected the livestock and crops projects of John Thomas. After view¬ ing the Thomas farm, the group toured the Bell Telephone Company and climaxed the day by playing softball at the City Park. The chapter met at Kenneth Kitchen’s farm for the annual summer meeting. A chalk talk by the Rev. R. D. Spencer and movies furnished the entertainment. The chapter raised money this year by helping with concessions at football and bas¬ ketball games, by selling certified seed corn, potatoes, and garden seed, by parking cars at the Morgan County Fair, and by selling the F.F.A. gilt. Other highlights of the year were the FFA-FHA party, Parent and Talent Night, Girl-Friend party, Father-and-Son banquet, Pay-off supper, and the state convention. Eagerly awaiting the take-off on the annual summer trip, this year to St. Louis, are Virgil Telfer, sponsor; Don Coffey, president, and Glen Sisco, bus driver. In St. Louis the boys visited the Purina research farm and the St. Louis zoo. One of several field trips during the year was to observe the treating of seed wheat on the Shirley farm. The F.F.A. Project Committee is meeting with a group of local farm machinery dealers to formulate a plan for a safety campaign. Possibly as a result of the campaign, which was concerned mostly with corn pickers, no accidents were reported in the vicinity during the season. This project won fourth in the state in the F.F.A. safety project. m farmervamerica Page Tiventy-five Dramatists Forsake Stage for Dance Floor “Gosh, I’m scared!” “Oh, I hope I make it!” “How many do you think they’ll let in this year?” These are just a few of the excited comments overheard as hopeful Thespians take last-minute breaths before making their try-out perform¬ ances for the Dramatics Club. Once accepted for member¬ ship, students begin participating in the various activities offered by the club. Among these are attending stage pro¬ ductions at I. U., having a club party, and having a club picnic at the end of the year. The highlight of the year, however, turned out to be the semi-formal dance held March 21. A Drama-Night was planned, and rehearsals were underway for the three plays that were to be presented to the public, but this event had to be postponed by the sponsor’s illness, and then the over¬ crowded calendar forced the club to give up the project. The dance more than made up for it, though. It was an extra-gala affair, complete with balloons. Three members of Ed Yates’ band from I. U., a trombone, piano, and bass, furnished the very dance-able music, and fruit punch and cookies com¬ pleted the picture. A very good crowd of students and guests enjoyed the evening. This year’s Dramatics Club has a membership of fifty. Barbara Sheets served as president; Marilyn Telfer, vice- president; Maurine Sweet, secretary, and Tom Cramer, treasurer. “Ballin’ the Jack” is earnestly danced by Sid Williams, Paulette Kennedy, Doris Lowder, Bill Patton, Carol Gray, John Dixon, Tim McGuire, and Eileen O’Connor at the club’s March shindig. Sitting out a dance at the Leap Year frolic are Bob Diller, Danny Myers, Mary Zarlington, and Martha Evans, while John Badger and friend Agnes Warner take to the floor.

Yearbook Staff Tries To Repeat High ' 52 Ratings Attempting to equal last year’s accom¬ plishments, the 1952 Artesian staff has care¬ fully planned a book centering on the theme of building. This theme is derived from the building of a new farm shop. It is developed further by showing that the building of skills, character, personality, and physical well¬ being is the function of the school program. Last year’s Artesian, edited by Jack Cra- gen, received an All-American honor rating from the National Scholastic Press Associa¬ tion of the University of Minnesota. This is the first time that the Artesian has received the highest honor. The ’50-’51 yearbook also received a First Place from Columbia Scholas¬ tic Press Association. This was our first entry at Columbia. The staff wishes to express sincere grati¬ tude to Miss Margaret Rose, business adviser; John Bremer, editorial adviser, and art teach¬ er Roy Rankin, who designed the cover. Work on this year’s annual began last spring with the taking of baseball and track pictures and other events of interest which Page Twenty-eight occurred too late for the 1951 annual. During the summer the ’52 yearbook was formulated in a “dummy” form. Individual pictures were taken in the fall. Each picture had to be mounted on cardboard before being sent to the engraver. After assigning write-ups to seniors, the editorial staff had to check the copy for errors and rewrites. Finally came the reading and re-reading of the proofs. The book was printed by the Reporter Publishing Co. with the binding and covering furnished by the Heckman Bindery of North Manchester. Engravings were made by the Indianapolis Engraving Co. Senior photo¬ graphs and most of the school groups were taken by the Campus Studio of Bloomington. Special Issues Brighten the Herald ' s Year The Artesian Herald passed into the hands of MHS students 15 times during the school year of 1951-52, and whether the stu¬ dents knew it or not catastrophe struck more than once while the staff was striving to meet the deadline. Few students or teachers knew about the time half of the type was upset and had to be sorted before printing or the time the enamel paper didn’t arrive on schedule for the sports issue. But all was not dark for the Herald, for the bright Christmas issue appeared in flaming red and vivid green to liven the Christmas spirit around school. The Herald also presented its annual sports issue to MHS students in November. Duanne O’Neal and Danny Myers, co-sports editors, were in charge of this publication. The staff also published an Easter issue, which was edited by Robert Lewis and Mary Dunn, co-feature editors. And, as usual, senior members of the Herald staff and Arte¬ sian staff will prepare the senior issue in May. This paper will include the class wills, prophecy, senior awards and a review of the final senior activities. The Martinsville Democrat prepared the linotype and picture cuts for the Herald, while Kenneth Elmore and the printing class printed it. Make-up editor Keith Tomey served as student printing adviser. This year the slaving journalists are in the ratio 12:3—twelve seniors and three juniors. Miss McCoy is the editorial adviser for the paper, and the staff members are Kenneth Dalton, editor-in-chief; Bar¬ bara Shuler, assistant editor; Keith Tomey, make-up editor; Duanne O’Neal and Danny Myers, sports editors; Mary Dunn and Robert Lewis, feature edi¬ tors; Louise Schnaiter, Junior High editor; Sara Pearcy, club editor; Diane Hudson and Dave Fair, typists, and J. K. Daily, photographer. Tim McGuire and Lee Bennett assist the staff with the writing of new stories and features. Page Twenty-nine GAA Members Play An epidemic hit the whole school hard during the first week of the second semester — a rash of small red and blue ribbons. A hint for the teachers to be fair and democratic on grades? No, the GAA sponsored a Sports¬ manship Week at this very opportune time, and all the students carried it high. The only requirement for membership was to pledge yourself to be a good sport; the only fee, to sign your name and receive your ribbon; the only purpose, to improve the sportsmanship in MHS. Posters in all the halls and speeches made by club members joined forces with the ribbons to remind us of our duty. The test came at the Bloomington basketball game, and with the conduct shown there the GAA Sportsmanship Week was pronounced a tre¬ mendous success. Each year the GAA adds several new and different activities to its full program. The Sportsmanship Week was one of them, and the GAA dance at Crawfordsville was an¬ other. Five girls glided through waltzes, squares and polkas with girls from other cities. Doris Mitchner, Carole Merideth, Georgia McFarland, Lavonne Wampler and Frances Mulder represented their club at this gala affair. The schedule was filled out with informal initiation at the City Park, the annual basket¬ ball game with the freshmen and seniors battling the sophomores and juniors, and the chili supper for the Lettermen’s Club, com¬ plete with square dancing. The formal initia¬ tion was an elaborate program this year, high¬ lighted with a tea in honor of the new members. The local female athletes were also repre¬ sented at the GAA camp, held at the Colum¬ bus Youth Center this year, and at the Plaque Day festivities for girls who have earned TOP: Frances Mulder has a hefty swing. I won¬ der if that one was a strike. Bowling season is always a favorite one for the GAA girls. MIDDLE: “Ouch! Let’s take those jumps a little easier, Maria!” She must be training for the annual game, the crowning event of the sports year for all of our femme athletes. BOTTOM: Georgia McFarland has had three years of experience, girls, so she’s a competent teacher. Watch carefully, for that bird is an elusive fellow. Page Thirty at Sports and Work for Sportsmanship their bronze plaques for extra achievement. But the “energy girls” also have several sports activities each year. The year is di¬ vided into six sports seasons: Volleyball, bad¬ minton, basketball, bowling, deck tennis, soft- ball, and archery. The girls earn their points by steady participation in these sports. They may earn class numerals, a letter, and a state plaque from these points. Mrs. Doris McDonald referees the girls’ activities, aided by Dolores Maxwell, presi¬ dent; Betty Jo Hess, vice-president; Lou Ann Hatter, secretary, and Georgia McFarland, treasurer.

Busy Concert Band Keeps First Place Rating One of the best in the state! That is the comment made on the MHS band as they trilled out an overture in the 1951 band con¬ test at North Vernon. The band has for many years received Division I ratings with enthusi¬ astic comments from judges. Solos and ensembles from the band also fared very well in the 1952 contest at Indiana University. Five solos and five ensembles re¬ ceived Division I ratings: One clarinet solo, two clarinet quartets, a clarinet trio, saxo¬ phone quartet, one flute trio, two flute solos, a drum solo and a piccolo solo. The sports season is opened by the band at the first football game, and almost every football and basketball game is enlivened by the peppy marches and the twirling of the majorettes. These programs keep every band member on his toes until the end of the basketball season in February, when the band begins to concentrate on contest numbers. These pieces and others are polished by long hours of prac¬ tice, and then presented in a public perform¬ ance. The May Festival is the last major band activity of the year, rounding up a year’s hard work. The 1952 band concert was held at Craw- fordsville this year. The local marching sev¬ enty participated, and eleven seniors played their last contest numbers: The light “Folk Song Suite” and the overture “Ariane.” Page Thirty-two Formal Attire and Crowded Program Inspire Orchestra A swish of navy blue taffeta heralded a momentous day for the orchestra. The girls chose long, gathered skirts and long-sleeved white blouses, and the boys with dark trousers and white shirts gave the musicians just the right formal appearance for their annual win¬ ter concert. The program featured a wide variety of musical numbers, ranging from the light rhythmic “Syncopated Clock” to the somber “Mozart Fantasie.” Besides the customary performances for convocations and class plays, some members of the orchestra participated in the Orchestra Festival, held this year at Warren Central. Musicians from six schools work together to present this program. The entire orchastra is featured in the May Festival which has become an annual event here. All of the Martinsville school music organizations put on this program, to exhibit the progress of the music department. Commencement is the final program of the year. The orchestra plays the triumphal marches for the seniors, and the musical seniors also play their last concert number in the program. District Solo and Ensemble Contest, held at Indiana University this year, drew 25 en¬ tries from the string group, and 12 of these received Division I ratings. Louise Schnaiter, cellist, received the only Division I rating in the state contest. A first division rating was also received by the full orchestra last spring at the state orchestra contest. The MHS orchestra is divided into two parts. The string section, directed by Miss Priscilla Smith, meets on Monday, Wednes¬ day, and Friday. On Tuesday and Thursday the full orchestra meets with Richard Elliott. The orchestra has almost seventy members. The officers each year are responsible for handling the magazine sales, and the librari¬ ans handle the daily job of distributing and picking up the music folders. This year Peggy Hacker was president; Marilynn McDaniel, vice-president; Myrna Reynolds, secretary; Sue Holmes, treasurer, and Mary Ellen Moore and Wally Couch, librarians. STRINGS: K. Alexander, L.

Page Thirty-three Choristers Entertain Throughout the Year for School A combination of merriment, hard work, and a feeling of satisfaction for a job well done will always linger with the fifty boys and girls who compose the Mixed Chorus. As in years past, the chorus presented its Christmas pro¬ gram, this year in cooperation with the grade school chorus under the direction of Mrs. Ralph Lowder. Candles, new robes for the chorus, and the Christmas decorations did much to increase the impressiveness of the seasonal enter¬ tainment, complete with a biblical pantomime to “The Inn at Bethlehem.” A little on the lighter side was a pantomime of “The Night Before Christmas” with Keith Sichting as Santa Claus, whiskers and all. Nine members took part in the All-State Chorus, held during teachers’ convention: Eila Jo Smith, Peggy Hacker, Dolores Maxwell, Sue Branch, Dee Terrell, Keith Sichting, Birch Smith, Jerry Hine, and Irvin Hart. The Easter program is very effective each year, as well as such other projects as district and state vocal contests, and music for Baccalaureate. Possibly the highlight event of the year was the Chorus Festival, April 4, held in the local gym, with students from nine schools present. The chorus was under the able direc¬ tion of J. Russell Paxton. The carefully chosen program provided variety and interest. BOTTOM ROW: D. J. Neal, R. A. Scott, N. Priest, M. Evans, E. J. Smith, A. M. Stine, J. Beaman, M. Telfer, S.

The Girls Chorus made its debut last year and is well estab¬ lished by this time. This group is much smaller than the mixed group, having less than thirty members, some of whom are mem¬ bers of the full group. The Girls Chorus meets one day each week, and they must do a great deal of work in this short time. Al¬ most every program given by the Mixed Chorus is sparked by the songs of this fem¬ inine group. The annual Christmas program featured the girls in such numbers as “Sleep, Little Baby.” The girls do not have a monopoly on the vocal side, however, for the Boys Chorus was instituted this year. This group also meets one day each week. Their activities have been limited, but they did participate in one program. As a branch from this group the barbershop quartet emerged, and they will be long remembered by the SSS girls for their rendition of “Coney Island Baby” at the dis¬ trict convention of the Sunshine Society here last fall.

THIRD ROW: Elia Jo Smith, Lois Schnaiter, The versatile Madrigal singers, directed by Miss Smith, are Keith Sichting, Dee Terrell, Eila Jo Smith, Carol Gray, Sue Branch, Louise Schnaiter, Birch Smith, and Irvin Hart. The Madrigal singers need no introduc¬ tion to the students of MHS, nor to the towns¬ people. They are constantly in demand as they are well-known by all for their inspiring programs. Not only do they share their talents in school programs but in all town organizations. This year they have endeav¬ ored to spread a little additional cheer to the patients in the hospital at Camp Atter- bury.

Scientists Experiment with Ice, Glass, Field Trips Chicago or Bust! This was the phrase mumbled all year long by thirty “junior Einsteins” with eager anticipation of a field trip to the Windy City. To raise money for the Chicago trip, two teams, new members against old, divided the town into sections for a paper drive; a bake sale also was held. The planned itinerary was travel by Monon to Chicago and over¬ night stay at the Congress Hotel, with visits to the Chicago Museum of Natural History, Shedd Aquarium, and Adler Planetarium. To further scientific knowledge and in¬ terest, experiments were conducted in club meetings by Jim Goetcheus, Max Smith and Martha Bastin. Jim worked with chemical tests, Max set a fire with ice, and Martha made glass. From the staff of the Indianapolis Children’s Museum, Frank Long demon¬ strated to five biology classes the fundamen¬ tals of glass-blowing. Souvenir vases which he blew were given to students who were willing to try their luck at the art. This project was sponsored by the club. The constitution was amended to permit a larger enrollment, since there were twice as many applying for membership as the con¬ stitution allowed. An informal initiation, the first that the club has had, was held for the fourteen new members. Science Club members elected as their officers for the year Danny Myers, reporter; Richard Kain, librarian; Donna Cramer, secretary; Max Smith, president; Mr. Carson, sponsor; Sid Williams, vice- president; Joe Strothman, treasurer. Page Thirty-six National Honor Society Achieves Active Status Monthly meetings gave the National Honor Society added prestige as a club this year. The only activity carried on in past years was the induction of the senior members by the junior members of the club. The members are chosen by a vote of the faculty. Five per cent of the junior class and fifteen per cent of the senior class are selected. This year the ballot marked by the faculty carried be¬ sides the scholastic ranking of each of the eligible candidates a character and personality rating obtained from a rating scale marked by all teachers who work with the seniors. This year the club, with only six members, earned money from concessions to introduce the project of giving a scholar¬ ship award to the freshman maintaining the highest scholastic ranking for the year. The award will be a gold loving cup. Eleven additional seniors and six juniors obtained the honor of membership this year. Inaugurated by the six old members were Wayne Abbott, Gracie Adkins, Anna Ruth Bastin, Richard Bray, John Dixon, Wilma Fisher, Peggy Hacker, Nita Meadows, Louise Schnaiter, Eila Jo Smith, Maurine Sweet, Donna Cramer, Linda Davis, Donna Jo Neal, Max Smith, Keith Sichting, and Dee Terrell. Election and initiation of members this year was six weeks earlier than usual, giving the old members an opportunity to welcome and acquaint the new members with the objectives and operation of the society. The National Honor Society is one club in which every member elected as a junior gets to work. Members chosen last spring were Shirley Walters, Dolores Maxwell, Keith Beaman, Sally Schnaiter, Jon Lee, and Carol Gray. Page Thirty-seven, The presidents and vice-presidents, plus one unorganized girl, make up the Girls’ Executive Council.

Page Thirty-eight Council Sponsors Mixers A rollicking end to a frolicking evening is offered especially for you at the basketball mixers following all home games. These dances were a new service instituted by your student governing body this year into its over¬ flowing program. President Charles Inman, with the help of his executive committee, was kept busy appointing committees and ironing out flaws in the schedule. Supervising the election of cheer leaders, club and class of¬ ficers, rounding up talent for the amateur program and the student-faculty basketball game, and worrying about the juke box, gave the council many jobs to do this year. League Organizes All Girls You can be a clubwoman in this school even if you don’t actually sign up. Every girl in senior high is automatically a member of the largest organization in MHS, the Girls’ League. This club offers educational enter¬ tainment at each of the monthly meetings, and earns money through the concession fund to further worthwhile projects. These proj¬ ects are mapped out by the Girls’ Executive Council. This year the League sponsored the fifth-hour recreational program. This year’s officers, led by Mrs. Marie Kitchen, were Janet Troutman, president; Mary Dunn, vice- president, and Norita Priest, secretary-treas¬ urer. TOP: Upon the carpet?

Page Thirty-nine Martinsville Sunshine Society Sunshine at Christmas! Sounds impossi¬ ble? Just ask a group of elderly people at the County Home about their Yuletide season. Members of the Sunshine Society carried in armloads of gifts, sang carols, and helped to spread some much-needed “sunshine” and happiness. We brightened up the rooms at the Home with new linoleum. We also sent out huge baskets of fruit at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, and even provided a turkey for their Christmas dinner. In November we had the pleasure of being hostesses to the District Sunshine Con¬ vention. Five hundred girls attended the meeting, plus all our state and district offi¬ cers, who were presented with large yellow mums tied with white satin ribbon. Orchids were given to the State Dean, Miss Grace De Hority, and to the District Dean, Miss Eleanor Brooks. Our state convention was held at Lafayette in April. This year the annual Mother-Daughter tea was held in conjunction with the formal initia¬ tion; and the event, held at the home of Marilyn Kennedy in January, attracted a crowd of 125 girls and mothers. Thirty-two girls were initiated in the traditional candle¬ light ceremony. Preceding and following the initiation, mothers and daughters were in¬ vited to the dining room for tea. The table was centered with an arrangement of yellow and white gladioli and chrysanthemums flanked with tall yellow tapers. The climax of the year was our annual Ideal Lady Tea, which was held at the home of Sally and Betsy Schnaiter. At this tea each girl reveals herself to her chosen “ideal lady” TOP: “Does your name start with J, K, or L?” asked Wilma Wright, Janet Troutman, and Dixie Ennis. These girls headed one of the registration units at the Sunshine Convention. MIDDLE: President Carol Gray even looked the part as she welcomed 500 girls to the District con¬ vention.

We’re trying to build a higher standard of young womanhood and to learn to bring cheer and happiness to those about us.

Page Forty-one Hi-Y Sponsors Dance and Clean Speech Campaign The profits from Christmas candy sales were notched somewhat when the yuletide dance proved to be a financial failure, but the Hi-Y could still call the year a success. The Clean Speech Campaign sponsored by the Hi-Y was designed to promote the first plank in the Hi-Y platform. The campaign was conducted mainly by placing posters in the high school halls, writing slogans on class¬ room blackboards, giving short speeches in homerooms, and providing an assembly with speaker Frank Liddle. John Dixon shot to the front as contender for Hi-Y boy of the year by selling 54 boxes of candy. Kenneth Dalton made a race of it, The officers this year were, seated, Kenneth Dalton, sec¬ retary; Wayne Abbott, president, and Herschel Baker, spon¬ sor.

This year the rapidly expanding Hi-Y Club found it necessary to move from its old haunts in room 31 to the larger room 22. Also this year a committee decided to add to the entrance requirements for membership a test on the Hi-Y’s principles.

Page Forty-two Lettermen ' s Club Attracts Successful Athletes Only those boys physically constructed for the rough and tumble of football, the endur¬ ance of basketball, the speed necessary to successful trackmen, the hair-trigger thinking essential to baseball, and the relaxed control of muscles so vital in golf may by excellence in their respective sports become members of the “elite” Lettermen’s Club. Any boy participating in any of the five major sports and earning a letter automati¬ cally becomes a member and is thus entitled to enjoy the varied activities of the club, namely vast stag parties for the members only, the annual faculty feed, both of which fill the seemingly unlimited appetites of all, and a party with the G. A. A. This year the Lettermen sponsored an all¬ school informal dance, featuring an acrobatic team from Indiana University performing feats of skill on the trampoline and parallel bars. The club also was responsible for the filling of a basket that was given to a needy family of the community as a Christmas gift. The Lettermen were organized by Coach Burchard Horton in an attempt to improve school spirit, sportsmanship, further an inter¬ est in athletic competition, and give recogni¬ tion to the athletes of MHS. With the resignation of Mr. Horton in January, the club curtailed its spring activi¬ ties. The club is expected to shift into high again, however, next fall. The Lettermen chose as their officers for the year Charles Inman, vice-president; Sid Williams, president, and Johnnie Hacker, secretary-treasurer.

Projector Club Handles Audio-Visual Aids Greater speed and efficiency have marked the work of the Projector Club this year by the assignment of two operators instead of one for each film showing. Now such jobs as threading the projector, notifying the teachers, and turning out the lights may be done simultaneously.

Page Forty-five ATHLETICS builds body and spirit Page Forty-seven Victory-less Gridders Build for Future Building proved to be the keynote of the Artesian 1951 football season. With a record of seven straight losses, the coaches, team and school had to find consolation in the character¬ building aspects of the sport and in looking ahead to a new season with a good nucleus of experienced players. Only seven seniors were on the squad. After several futile pass attempts, the Greensburg right halfback finally connected with his receiver in the end zone to break a tie and defeat the Artesians gridders in their season opener, 12 to 6. The next contest was a road game at Bedford. The out-played Ar¬ tesians fell 32 to 7 to a rugged Cutter eleven. At Mitchell a 96-yard winning touchdown made by the Mitchell halfback snuffed out the Artesian hopes for a possible victory in their third attempt. The downtrodden Artesian squad next ventured to Brazil to play Green- castle. For the first twelve minutes it was a see-saw battle, then the Cubs struck pay dirt; thereafter, they crossed into the end zone three more times, while the Artesians tallied only once. BOTTOM ROW: R.

Five plays after the kickoff in the Sacred Heart game, Sacred Heart scored the first in a series of touchdowns which brought them a 33-6 victory over Martinsville. It was the outclassed Artesians’ fifth straight loss and spirited Sacred Heart’s fifth straight win. A pair of 19-0 losses were suffered in suc¬ cession to Danville and University school. Excellent blocking and tackling against the Univees were offset by numerous penalties which kept the ball deep in Martinsville ter¬ ritory. A final attempt for victory against Plain- field failed when a blocked Martinsville punt, a fumble and a safety all in the first quarter assured the Plainfield boys of a 14-0 victory. The last three quarters were accompanied by a beating rain, which made scoring by either team impossible. Only one unfortunate incident marked the season. Sid Williams, tackled hard on a touch¬ down run in the Sacred Heart game, missed the last three contests because of a brain con¬ cussion. Sid was chosen by his teammates as the most valuable player of the year. Sloan. THIRD ROW: Asst. Coach Max Shaw, W. Abbott, H. Cooper, T. Russell, R. Goss, F. Dransfield, N. James, R. Clark, W.

I A Strong Finish Gives Artesian Netters Winning Season Rallying from a mid-season slump, which began after the winning of the first three contests, the fighting Artesians dropped only two of their last seven scheduled games and won the all-important Bloomington tilt. In sectional competition they beat off a last- quarter Unionville rally, and then walloped the University quintet in a grudge game com¬ pensating for an earlier season loss. In Martinsville’s path to the sectional crown stood Ellettsville, surprise winner over Bloomington. The Artesians, despite a height disadvantage, managed to keep within reach of Ellettsville and fell 37-35 fighting gallantly when time cut short a promising rally. Long shots over the tight Ellettsville zone defense kept the Artesians on the heels of the Eagles all evening. Starting out the season without the only varsity hold-over, Chuck Inman, the Artesians narrowly squeaked by Mooresville. Then with Inman and Jack Ennis each scoring 13, the team staved off a late Greencastle rally to win by five points. Jack Ennis sent the Rushville game into a double overtime, with John Lowry slipping in the sudden-death two-pointer. Defeats at the hands of Columbus, Sey¬ mour, and Elkhart evened up the season, but the victory bell rang again when Don Whaley scored a pivot shot against Shelbyville as the gun sounded. Indianapolis proved a nemesis as Shortridge and Broad Ripple took the measure of the Artesians in successive games in spite of the valiant scoring efforts of Inman and Amel Porter. One of the best-played games of the season was the unexpected eight-point win over Jef¬ fersonville, but a hot-shooting University team caught the locals off guard despite 19- point performances by Inman and Lowry. High point of the season was the “shaving- mug” victory over Bloomington as an alert Artesian defense frustrated high-scoring Dean Rainbolt. Staying in high gear, the team won over Crawfordsville and Conners- ville in succession, with unheralded Don Whaley controlling the backboards and dump¬ ing in 17- and 18-point totals. Victories over Franklin and Southport were sandwiched between defeats at Greens- burg and in the season finale here to Bedford. With only four seniors on the team this year, prospects for next season are bright. Members of the 1951-52 varsity squad were Con¬ nie Warren, Melvin Broadstreet, James Anderson, Ed Marshall, Don Bates, John Lowry, Jack Ennis, Don Whaley, Jim Bates, Charles Inman, and Amel Porter. Vincent Bisesi took over as head coach in January, following the resignation of Coach Horton. Jay Ayers and Glen Thomas served as student man¬ agers. The last-minute hud¬ dle before the toss-up. Charles Inman, the only player with previ¬ ous varsity experience, attempts to get a shot past senior teammate, Jim Anderson. The other two var¬ sity seniors this year are Don Whaley, shoot¬ ing, and Don Bates, guarding. The whistle blows, the referee tosses the ball, and the season is under way! The team won this first game from Mooresville. The Connersville tilt was just one of our very exciting games. The team won by a wide 17-point margin.

The reserve team, coached by Max Shaw, with no hold-overs from last season managed to win only four out of 16 games. The freshman team, guided by Bob Snyder, frequently demonstrated signs of developing abilities. The freshmen played only eleven games, winning seven. As usual at Martinsville, the sparkling junior high team, coached by Merrill Cox, ended another season undefeated in eleven contests t junior J4iyh BOTTOM ROW: John O’Neal.

Page Fifty-two Baseballers Show Promise at Season ' s End The highlight of the Artesian 1951 base¬ ball season was the opener with Franklin. On agreement the game was cut to five innings when a sleet storm arose late in the fourth inning. Although Gary Hughes, Martinsville’s ace hurler, pitched two-hit ball, the Artesians lost 4 to 2 when the clean-up man for Frank¬ lin lined a triple into center field with the bases loaded in the top of the fifth. John Mann, in his first year as baseball coach at MHS, had nine returning lettermen from the 1950 squad; to this he added nine recruits to complete his traveling unit. Although the squad won only two games while dropping seven, a noticeable improve¬ ment was seen near the end of the season. Don Bates, a converted second baseman, ex¬ hibited much poise on the mound when he pitched two-hit ball to drub Greencastle 5 to 1. The Artesians were shut out in only one game. At Columbus the locals lost 10-0. Other MHS losses were Shelbyville 11-4, Seymour 15-4, Spencer 5-4, Greensburg 3-2, and South- port 4-1. The team ended the season by sub¬ duing Connersville in a slug-fest 10-9. ABOVE: Coach John Mann warms up his pitch¬ ing staff of Richard Flinn, Don Bates, and Gary Hughes.

Golfers 8th in State The Artesian golf team placed eighth in a field of fifteen 1951 state tournament final¬ ists, beating section al winner Bloomington by fifteen strokes. The local unit, comprised of Tim McGuire, Jim Goetcheus, Ronnie Car¬ michael, and John Bergman, placed second to Bloomington in sectional competition last spring. Previous to this engagement Martinsville had competed in only three matches, winning all three. In a three-way match the locals col¬ lected 22 points to Bloomington’s 19 and Uni¬ versity’s 6. In other match play the Artesians bested Bedford 9 to 6 and University 15 to 0. In the South Central meet last fall the MHS squad placed second to Columbus. TOP: Teammate Jim Goetcheus helps Capt. Tim McGuire line up his putt as golfers Don Perry, Ron¬ nie Carmichael, Jack Hammons and Wayne Boring look on. “Once around the track, boys,” says Track Coach Norman Coglan to the members of the 1951 squad. Thinlies Win One Meet The cindermen of Martinsville encoun¬ tered the opposition only six times during the 1951 track season. The first outing of the year was held on the Artesian track against Franklin with the local thinlies emerging vic¬ torious 61 1-3 to 47 2-3. The Artesians then lost their two remaining contests to Seymour 61 to 48 and University 59 to 50. MHS placed twelfth in a field of seventeen at the Linton relays and won fifth position in the conference meet at Southport. Charles Inman, Ronnie Cordell, and Bob Payne won points in the sectional. Since the 1951 squad had only four se¬ niors, this year’s squad is expected to start Artesian track fortunes on the upgrade again. BOTTOM: Starter Tiny Horton gets the mile relay under way.

Since Janet Troutman, Richard Coffey, and Sally Schnaiter are graduating seniors, only Mari¬ lyn McDaniel and Ronnie Cordell, juniors, are available for next year. Besides practicing their new yells and antics and leading the yells at the ball games and pep sessions, the cheer leaders attended the annual yell leaders’ convention held at Indiana University, where they learned new yells and also the latest wrinkles in promoting a proper spirit among the spectators. Want to know how to “change horses in the middle of the stream”? Just ask any member of the coaching staff — he should know, for he had to do it this year when Burchard “Tiny” Horton resigned as head basketball and golf coach. Mr. Horton was replaced by Vincent Bisesi. Other members of the basketball staff were Max Shaw, reserves; Robert Snyder, fifth grade teacher at Central, freshmen; Merrill Cox and Roy Rankin, junior high. Norman Coglan is head coach of football and track; Max Shaw is his football assistant. John Mann is head coach of baseball. TOP: Inspiring cheer leaders for the third straight year are Marilyn McDaniel, Sally Schnaiter, Janet Troutman, Ronald Cordell and Richard Coffey. Aspiring cheer leaders for junior high are Eleanor Potter, Mike Wise, Carol Sue Smith and Jane Schnaiter.

Page Fifty-five V VNtS . . . tllOll AMO HAUOH -rsi-Ctm • ' build enduring friendships Page Fifty-seven T)hey eQead the Way The seniors elected three boys and one girl to guide the class through its last year. Mr. John Bremer and Miss Margaret Rose aided the class as ad¬ visors. The officers were Johnnie Dixon, president; Duanne O’Neal, treasurer; Peggy Hacker, secretary, and David Pearcy, vice-president. Th e First Three Years Were the Hardest, but . . . Hey, slow down a minute! Let’s take time out from all this frenzied, last-minute activity that comes with being SENIORS and go back together over the past four years. Don’t they seem long, vague and unfamiliar? It was in the fall of 1948 that the class of ’52 first entered the hallowed halls of Mar¬ tinsville High School. We were over 150 strong at that time . . . the biggest class ever! Remember the first day? Golly, what a mad-house it was! There were hours of stand¬ ing in line for books and lockers, but most of us were either too excited or confused to be tired. After establishing ourselves in our audi¬ torium seats?? (stuffed in the balcony and sprinkled in the back!), electing our officers with petitions, another novelty to us, and se¬ lecting Student Council representatives, the rest of the year rolled on without a hitch. As sophomores, we very ably filled the gap between the lofty upper-classmen and the lowly freshmen. We joined as many clubs and activities that would take us; we elected three of the five yell-leaders, and we lost about twenty classmates along the way. This year a severe shortage of eligible male material was in evidence, but it wasn’t long until some of our more plucky girls had in their clutches some real junior “catches” and were sporting brand new class rings to prove it. Then came our year as juniors. First there was that famous annual pro¬ duction, the class play! Ours, a three-act comedy entitled “We Shook the Family Tree,” was quite a success. Right behind this came the class rings, and they were really “the berries,” because seniors and underclassmen alike “oh’ed” and “ah’ed” over them for weeks. The prom was probably the biggest event of the year. Since we wanted ours to be some¬ thing “extra-special,” we finally came up with the idea of a Cinderella theme. We planned, schemed, and decorated, then decorated some more; and lo and behold, on the night of April 28, a real Cinderella Ball took place. It seemed each girl had been transformed into a beautiful princess, waltzing away in the arms of her Prince Charming. It was a night we never shall forget! The n came Class Day. It was then that we bid adios to the seniors and established ourselves in their revered places in the audi¬ torium. The fact that we legally became seniors at this time wasn’t nearly so impres- Pcige Fifty-eight Senior Year Brings New Duties sive as the grim, grave expressions on the faces of the graduates. This look sort of chilled us and when we started thinking about it, the past few years didn’t seem so long, vague, and far-away after all. Oh, seniors at last! After four long hard years of work about 113 of our original 154 have finally made it to the last stretch. But now that we’re here, it doesn’t seem at all what we expected. Always before, we’d heard about the “dignified seniors,” but now we know that they don’t even exist. Our first senior duty of the year was to elect our secretary and vice-president. For these offices we chose David Pearcy and Peggy Hacker. Johnny Dixon and Duanne O’Neal had already been chosen as president and treasurer, respectively, last spring. The first semester seemed very unevent¬ ful compared to the second. Ordering name cards and commencement announcements was the main topic of discussion in our first, but certainly not last, senior class meeting. Not long after that we started practicing on the old familiar “Auf Wiedersehen,” wonder¬ ing when and where we would meet again after our separations on commencement night. TOP: Dee Hine was the only talented senior to enter the amateur contest this year. She entertained with a Solovox number. Sally Schnaiter achieved the coveted D.A.R. award in the city and the county contests after being voted tops in citizenship by senior class and faculty.

Page Sixty-six Posing with their president, John¬ ny Hacker, is the feminine contingent of junior class officers: Barbara Stiles, treasurer; Mary Jo Stout, sec¬ retary, and Donna Jo Cramer, vice- president. Juniors Handle Heavy Schedule with Ease Those inevitable refresher math tests, the thrill and excitement of dramatic life in the production of the junior class play, the all- important choosing of class rings, the pains¬ taking plans for their first and most remem¬ bered prom and the reward of a job well done as the dream-like music flows over the formals and tuxs: These are the makings of juniors. Prior to the Junior Prom the highlight of the year was the class play. A teen-ager’s girl friend provided the title and the plot. “The Girl Friend” tells the troubles of a high school youth faced with the problem of meet¬ ing the expectations of a rich girl friend in a period of rising prices. With just one more step to reach the top, the members of the Class of 1953 have ac¬ cepted their responsibilities by taking part in a full share of the school activities.

Page Sixty-nine Sophomores Catch On Sophomores seem to be the forgotten class, the class with no troubles. As sophomores there are very few eventful happenings. It is here that the students stop for a while and attain a more confident, realistic hold on life. It is here that they must store up their energy for the two busy years ahead, while learning the ropes.

A joint biology class open house and fresh¬ man mixer was the outstanding event of the year. Starting with an auditorium program, with Jane Porter as mistress of ceremonies, the evening included a laboratory tour for the parents and a dance in the girls’ gym for the ninth graders. Talent for the program and the music for the dance were provided by members of the freshman class. In their first opportunity to choose officers the members of the class of 1955 picked Billy Dixon for president; Lavonne Wampler, vice-president, and Donna Pratt, secretary-treasurer.

The American Legion, repre¬ sented this year by Mr. Sam Blue, presents this coveted award each year to an eighth- grade boy and girl. Rosalind Schnaiter recited her way to the seventh-grade spell ing championship, receiving from Mr. Robert Hastings the medal. Whee! Everybody dance, laugh and sing! The junior high had a riotous evening at their Valentine party. Time to eat! It only took one call to bring the gay crowd of exuberant boys and girls to the refreshment table, which was managed by helpful mothers.
