Martinsville High School - Artesian Yearbook (Martinsville, IN)

Page 33 text:

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

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

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.
