THE ARTESIAN 1954 Martinsville High School j Martinsville, Indiana assssz ' :: ■ ■ r £05=5 1 1 ■ ' aQuchy Strike The Home Lawn, Martinsville’s swankiest sanitarium, yearly houses hundreds of guests. The Kennedy family operates it and the Martinsville Mineral Springs. Artesian Wells Give City Fame and a Name In 1855 a small company of five men was organized in Martinsville to drill for natural gas. Although the drilling proved a failure as far as gas was concerned, it brought about the discovery of the mineral water which event¬ ually made our town famous the world over as a health resort. The first sanitarium was built in 1889 by Captain Barnard, who set up a bathing depart¬ ment for the treatment of rheumatism. Seeing his success, others followed suit until there were seven bath establishments in Martins¬ ville: the Home Lawn, originally the Henderson Parks Sanitarium; the National; the Highland; the Martinsville Sanitarium, established in 1897 by the merger of the Martinsville Mineral Springs and the Nutter-Webster Sanitarium; the Hill-Cohn in 1904, and finally the Colonial in 1906. Not only do these waters contain valuable health minerals, they were found to flow from the ground from their own pressure. Thus they are called Artesian mineral wells, from which our town has acquired two nicknames — the Artesian City and the City of Mineral Water. Fires have taken their toll of the Martins¬ ville sanitariums until today only four remain. These are the Martinsville, Home Lawn, High¬ land, and Cohn-Barnard. Each year people come from all over the world to be treated for various ailments at these sanitariums. Page Two The New Highland Sani¬ tarium, depicted here as it looked in the 1920’s, is still under management of the Scherers. INSET — The Martinsville Sanitarium, now the Martins¬ ville Mineral Springs, had its humble beginning in this building. This picture, taken before 1900, shows an early drilling for mineral water, probably on land that now belongs to the Home Lawn Mineral Springs. Well o[ Knowledge DlowS in .Martinsville Like the plentiful and health-giving waters of nature that spring from the rich Morgan County earth, another Artesian well has flowed in Martins¬ ville since the 1860’s. Many honors have sprung from this well of knowledge to make the name Artesian renowned throughout the state, just as the artesian mineral wells have made our town famous all over the world. Martinsville High School doubtless has done for the character welfare of its maturing youngsters what the natural springs of the area have done for the community. Just as our town has grown and profited from these waters, we students are developing our personalities and talents through the excellent training offered at MHS.

In 1923-24 the gymnasium was con¬ structed. This spring a new junior high building was begun west of the high school. Staff Editor . Martha Jean Bastin Business Manager . Betsy Grant Junior Editor .

Fountain of Knowledge Attracts Many Students of Martinsville High School have an opportunity to drink deeply at the fountain of knowledge. If they so desire, they may specialize in one of many fields offered here. Among these are the fields of agriculture, in¬ dustrial arts, business, and homemaking. For those preparing for college there is a well- planned academic course. If he takes proper advantage of these opportunities, each gradu¬ ate will emerge from high school with his future well planned. Many students who are undecided about their future occupations choose to sample a little of each field rather than to specialize. Although only three years of English and one each of math and science are required be¬ fore a student may graduate, a large part of them take advanced work in these subjects. Seniors who plan to go on to college are drilled in composition and literature. Boys preparing for a career in engineering or science are offered excellent training in advanced al¬ gebra, trigonometry, solid and plane geometry, chemistry, and physics. This year it became necessary to shorten the school day for children attending the Brooklyn elementary school. For this reason the activity period was cut out and school dis¬ missed fifteen minutes early. A special activ¬ ity period was held each Wednesday so that clubs could meet and auditorium programs could be presented. No matter how cold the weather may be, Robert Hoick and Mike Rehling faithfully raise and lower the flag each day. Page Six Personality Growth Stressed If all our classes were conducted outside on sunny days like this, we’d love school. William Bange, Herman Whitson, Janell Smith, and Imogene Bergman are the lucky art students who are getting expert advice from their teacher, Mr. Mattingly. John Foley relates his experiences as a page boy in the U. S. House of Representa¬ tives to Nina Champlin for an article in the Artesian Herald. Our school is not merely concerned with providing a fundamental education. It is also well aware of the value of helping students to enjoy their classes and to develop their personalities. It is not an unusual sight to see art classes sketching out on the lawn or a biology class leaving for a field trip. In the various social prob¬ lems classes there is a great abundance of materials available for use in developing character and personali¬ ties. Students are encouraged to discuss their problems and to solve them through self-understanding. They learn how to get along with each other and how to pre¬ pare themselves for later life. A large variety of pamphlets and dia¬ grams is provided by our school for the social living classes. Here Bonita Northern looks through the pamphlet file while Mary Jane Bryant and Ernest Bristow conduct a discussion on school spirit. II Linda Lowder, Carolyn Oldham, Eleanor Potter, and Erlene Dunigan were among the English students who assisted at the Book Bazaar. These three senior girls seem to be giving someone quite a sales talk at the Book Bazaar. They are Maria Lovett, Ann Poulos, and Martha Jean Bastin. Drilling It’s surprising how many uses MHS finds for its football field! The band spent many hours practicing for their half-time performances at the football games. 1 4 v . -m-m ‘’ p 1 i - j9R$ „ ' .! aiawv-, , iistaynrr Page Eight Still Useful in Developing Skills Just as drilling is necessary to find water, it is also essential in gaining an education. Al¬ though many new methods of teaching have been introduced, the use of class drills in math, English, typing, shorthand, vocabulary, spell¬ ing, and reading will probably never be super- ceded since repetition is still considered to be one of the fundamental laws of learning. At MHS many hours are spent in drill exer¬ cises, but these drills are frequently neither dull nor tiring. In many classes students create ways of making games out of their drill assign¬ ments. The favorite is a kind of “baseball game.” The class is divided into two teams. A student “throws” a question at someone on the opposite team. He either advances to first base or “strikes out.” The younger students espe¬ cially enjoy this. In such classes as typing and shorthand there is a great deal of friendly com¬ petition. Jimmy Leonard tries out the reading ac¬ celerator in Remed¬ ial English as Bar¬ bara Phillips, Miss McCoy, and Ronald Prather watch. This course is designed to improve the reading skills of junior high students. Understand all about it, Earl? Mr. Hochstetler shows Earl Lowry how to operate the end-mill which is the latest addition to our well-equipped machine shop. “Don’t tell me it’s still wrong!” says this junior high student as he struggles through a math drill given by Mr. Hazelett. Wouldn’t it be won¬ derful if all the type¬ writers in the typing room were electric? Wanda Bunch gets in some valuable drill using the electric typewriter. Page Nine Sheila Cragen explains the purposes and membership requirements of F.H.A., as the remaining club presidents await their turn at the first auditorium program of the year. In the ground-breaking ceremony for the new junior high building, held March 12, School Board President Warren Schnaiter hands one of the shovels to Mr. Repp, one of the contractors, as Supt. Curtis looks on. Brown Is New Principal as Kurtz Goes to Delphi A surprising turn of events came about this year with the resignation of Principal Royce Kurtz, who took over the superintendency at Delphi, Indiana, on April 1. Ward Brown, for¬ mer assistant principal, was elevated to the position vacated by Mr. Kurtz, while Max Shaw took over the duties of Mr. Brown. Martinsville High School became one of thirteen schools in Indiana offering a television course in English composition to seniors pre¬ paring for college. Originating from Indiana University, it is conducted by Dr. Harold Whitehall and meets every Monday and Thurs¬ day, under the direction of Mr. Shaw. Eleven seniors are enrolled in the course. The two acrobats swinging on the lad¬ der are Jerry Rose and Richard Kinley, part of the behind- the-scene stage crew who did their part in preparing the junior class play for presentation. When Mr. Kurtz became the proud papa of a new baby boy, the faculty sur¬ prised him with this decorated high chair. Page Ten I Posing as four slaphappy sailors in this year’s stu¬ dent amateur show were Crone Knoy, Jim Schnaiter, Kip Schnaiter, and Bill Dixon. School Gets New Look Because of this year’s increased enroll¬ ment, basement locker room space was con¬ verted into two new classrooms during the summer months. Also new to the school is the beautiful display case in the front hall which was purchased with money donated by the last two graduating classes. From time to time different departments are responsible for preparing displays to represent their work for the year. Perhaps of most interest is the new junior high building which is being erected. When finally completed it will be a 28-room unit, but plans for the present call for 14 classrooms, administrative offices, boiler plant, and cafeteria to be ready for occu¬ pancy in January, 1955. Each month a special convocation was presented. The Student Council amateur show was probably the favorite of these. For the juniors and seniors there was the annual College Day with four former MHS students presenting a panel discussion on college ad¬ justments. Two famous artists, Liberace and Michaelangelo, were portrayed by Junior Telfer and Bill Paul. Mr. Thomas presents the American Legion citizen¬ ship awards to Nyla Crone and Charlie Oldham at junior high honor day. For their hours of study and hard work these junior high students receive their honor roll certifi¬ cates from Mrs. Davis.

Students Find Fountain of Youth If you ever want to find an MHS student, the first place to look is the Candy Kitchen. Mary Jane Bergman, Morris Ratts, Bruce Throckmorton, and Virginia Richardson stop in for a coke before a basketball game. Like fountains of youth, the students of MHS bubbled over with energy and gayety this year. From the night of the first mixer through the Senior Commencement Dance they made the most of their youth and vigor to produce a series of lively parties and dances. The Lettermen opened the social season with their annual Harvest dance. The boys decorated the old gym with corn stalks and hay and delighted everyone by making it necessary to zoom down a slide to enter the dance. V-neck sweaters for the boys and long-sleeved pull¬ overs of the same color for their dates were favorites for this in¬ formal dance. In contrast was the GAA Christmas Dance. Santa Claus, mistletoe, and Christmas trees provided a gay holiday atmosphere as the couples danced dreamily to the music of the Highlighters. The girls were pleased with the opportunity to don their frothy formals. I Page Twelve Lunch time is the best time in the world for catching up on everything from schoolwork to the latest gossip. Enjoying the sunshine are Carolyn Oldham, Debbie Fair, Jane Schnaiter, Kay Keller, Yvonne Cole, and Sue Holmes. Clubs Sponsor Parties Next on the calendar was the Valentine Dance, sponsored by Sunshine and Hi-Y. Hearts and cupids and “I love you” filled the gym at this semi-formal affair. Everyone was glad to see several junior high students there to add to the fun. The annual FFA-FHA party was, as usual, lots of fun. Hot dogs and cokes were the main attractions. Later there was the FFA girl¬ LEFT — Sitting one out are several couples at the GAA Christmas formal. RIGHT — David MacLeod and Richard Like step up for refills at the Sunshine- friend party, with songs, movies, and games. The girls were able to see how the boys con¬ duct their meetings, and each one was given a lovely carnation. The Sunshiners entertained with a boy-friend party, and then all thoughts turned to the Junior Prom. Needless to say, this was the biggest social event of the year. Ending the school year was the Commence¬ ment Dance, Although the seniors were very gay and had loads of fun, they were a little sad at the thought that they might never all be together again. Hi-Y Valentine dance. Behind the table are Barbara Goss, Janell Smith, and Mr. Charles Hall. Page Thirteen Modernistic (Rendezvous . . . Juniors Go Sophisticated Surrealist paintings greeted the guests as they entered the gym under a sophisticated black and white canopy for a “Modernistic Rendezvous” on May 1 for the 1954 Junior Prom. Crepe paper woven into a striking black and white checkerboard pattern formed the ceiling, while the sides were in a red, black, and white vertical pattern. Charlie Bowers and his orchestra, from the Hotel Severin in Indianapolis, played from a band stand also decorated in red, black, and white, and refreshments were served from a table carrying out the same color scheme. The Prom Court, made up of Lou Ann Hatter, Ann Poulos, Norma Mansfield, Nancy Whitlow, Kay Keller, Carolyn Oldham, Sue Holmes, Janice Cain, and Jacque Eaton, maid of honor, entered in beautiful pastel formals. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Prom Queen, Maria Lovett, who wore a lovely white gown and was crowned by junior class president, Bill Dixon. The junior class decorating committee of J. L. Wolff, Keith Denney, Sue Holmes, Kay Keller, Gordon Bennett, and Carolyn Oldham are getting the crepe paper ready to decorate for the 1954 Junior Prom. Below — Marilyn McDaniel, Queen of the 1953 Junior Prom, poses with Jim Bates, junior class president, and members of her court: Carolyn Fisher, Andre Bow¬ man, Norma Mansfield, Sharon Hannum, Betsy Schnaiter, Donna Jo Cramer, Maria Lovett, Ann Poulos, and Marylin Telfer. Laura Ann Record, Bob Holden, Jerry Ann Apple- gate, and Crone Knoy take time out from dancing for some refreshments at the prom. Everyone had a wonderful time as they danced to the music of the Butler Collegiates in the juniors’ interpretation of “Heaven on Earth.” trf m i Jr jf m £ Ik v m ► 1 I f t , Page Fourteen Whooping it up after a hard fought sectional win at Bloomington are the Artesian fans, who have just lifted Jim Bates to their shoulders.

Sectional Title Ends Long Drought 1954 was not supposed to be Martinsville’s year for basketball glory, but a group of de¬ termined young kids succeeded where more highly-favored teams had failed in the last decade — a sectional championship for MHS. The Artesians were finally eliminated in the regionals by a team that went to the state finals — Terre Haute Gerstmeyer — by a re¬ spectable 71-62 score. Sophomore Bill Edwards tallied fifty points in regional play, second only to Elkhart’s renowned Ray Ball. The Artesians gained the right to play Gerstmeyer by defeating Linton in the afternoon 67-59. The Artesians, determined to avenge last year’s sectional loss to Mor gantown, broke the Trojan stall early in the game and captured a lead which was never lost, but finally narrowed to a thrilling 58-55 victory. Stinesville threatened until the last quar¬ ter, when the Artesians spurted to a 77-57 win, but against Smithville a goal by MacLeod tied the score in the last minute and Edwards’ field¬ er won it 54-52. To beat Ellettsville for the crown Bisesi’s boys had to come from behind again for a 63-59 win. At the pep session preceding the regionals, members of the faculty por¬ trayed famous personalities and pre¬ dicted victory for the Artesians. Shown here are Mr. Shaw as Hazel Walker, Mr. Bremer as Dr. Kinsey, Mr. Burns as Tommy Dorsey, Mr. Shertzer as Marilyn Monroe, and Mr. Coglan as Bob Mathias. Elmer Rey¬ nolds was emcee. Page Fifteen Teams Ride Victory Crest Competition in athletics this year began with the football opener against Greensburg. Under the tutelage of new head coach Max Shaw, the Artesian gridmen wound up the sea¬ son with three wins, one tie, and four losses, for the most successful gridiron season since the sport was reinstated in 1947. Coach Shaw introduced Dad’s Night and Homecoming. On Dad’s Night, the fathers of all players were honored. Homecoming was highlighted by the crowning of Lou Ann Hat¬ ter as queen. Two new sports were introduced in MHS during the fall. The tennis team held no matches but was entered in the South Central Conference meet. The cross-country team showed excellent promise for future years. The renowned Artesian golf team, despite an unimpressive record in dual and triangular matches, became the conference champions for the second consecutive year. Sam Car¬ michael became the first freshman ever to win the conference medalist title. After an ordinary basketball season cli¬ maxed by the sectional victory, the jerseys The night before their first game gave Mr. Shaw and his squad an opportunity to explain some football plays to their many fans at our first football rally. were placed in mothballs and track season got under way. Due to construction of a new junior high building, no home meets were held this year. There were two dual and one triangular meet plus the Hoosier, Linton, and Columbus Relays, South Central Conference meet, and the state meets. Jim Powell leads the pack as the cross-country team heads for the open country in their first meet of the season against Shelbyville. Other Artesians are Everett Croy, Bill Bishop, and Jack Guinn. The Gold¬ en Bears edged the Artesians by one point. Page Sixteen Donel Bisesi, Sam Carmichael, Tom Tackett, and Bill Edwards display the trophy that they won by cap¬ turing the South Central Conference golf champion¬ ship for the second straight year. All four boys return next fall for another championship trial. ip % Three cheers for the Homecoming Queen! Stan Whetstine, senior guard of the football team, was the lucky fellow who crowned Lou Ann Hatter queen of the homecoming festivities. Janet Poore prepares a display for the trophy case to remind us all to be good sports during the annual G.A.A. Sportsmanship Week. MHS Offers Rounded Sports Program Page Seventeen from last year’s team, six of whom are letter- men. Coach John Mann should have a brilliant team for the next few years as only six of the returning players are seniors. Concurrent with interscholastic sports were many intra-school activities. Noon-hour recrea¬ tion was centered around noon league basket¬ ball and ping pong with checkers and chess rounding out the program. The physical education classes under the di¬ rection of Mrs. McDonald and Mr. Hill tutored their students in the fundamentals of basketball, softball, volleyball, and other sports. The Girls’ Athletic Association works along with the girls’ gym classes and proves that the weaker sex isn’t really so weak after all. As spring rolls around, many students are patiently awaiting the opening of the new swim¬ ming pool located at the foot of Nutter Hill in the City Park. Basketball coach Vincent Bisesi will serve as supervisor with Dave MacLeod and Carole Merideth, senior class members, as life¬ guards. The current baseball campaign got under way with a game against Bloomington, April 15. There were sixteen players returning “Stop him, Jim!” Jim Robinson guards third base in an exciting moment of the Franklin base¬ ball game. Supt. Glenn Curtis Prin. Royce Kurtz Principal Royce Kurtz and Su¬ perintendent Glenn Curtis talk over some new school policy in front of the superintendent’s office downtown. Mr. Kurtz, who became Delphi school superintendent, had been the guiding hand back of curricu¬ lum planning and faculty super¬ vision since becoming principal in 1946. Before then, he taught here for two years and was junior high principal three years. Mr. Curtis became superinten¬ dent of schools in 1949 after a long career in teaching and coach¬ ing at Martinsville and Indiana State Teachers College. Mr. Cur¬ tis, besides preparing the school budget and employing new teach¬ ers at MHS, also has charge of five elementary schools in our district. With the acceptance by Mr. Kurtz of the Delphi school superintendency in April, Mr. Ward Brown became principal of Martinsville High School. Mr. Max Shaw was appointed as¬ sistant principal and dean of boys. Mr. Brown is a graduate of Indiana State Teachers College and has been assistant prin¬ cipal here for the past five years. Mr. Brown is president of the Martinsville Kiwanis Club this year. Miss Maxine Cohen Miss Mamie Messmer Mrs. Cnuise Williams Page Eighteen Ward Brown, New MHS Principal Indiana State, B.S., M.S. Helen Davis, Dean of Girls MacMurray, B.S.; U. of Illinois Shaw Named Assistant After serving as a teacher of U. S. History for nearly four years, Mr. Max Shaw moved into the assistant principal’s office in April to take over attendance and counselling work. Mr. Shaw has a bachelor’s degree from Indiana University and a master’s in history from Ohio State and a master’s degree in edu¬ cation from I. U. He will continue as head football coach. Board Starts Building Program The old school board successfully ended its tenure of office this year by getting under way a building program for the metropolitan school district. The board has been composed of three men appointed by the city council and the trus¬ tees of the four townships. This year five citi¬ zens were elected in the May primary in a non¬ partisan election to serve as the school board for the next two years. Left to right around the table, meeting with the superintendent, are members of the school board: Floyd Neal, Robert Fulford, Lewis Lind, Supt. Curtis, Ray Thomas, Warren Schnaiter, Roscoe Bothwell, and Walter James. Page Nineteen Mrs. June Favour Mrs. Helen Coglan Staf,l Provide J Special Service J Each year visual tests and tuberculosis “patch” tests are given by the school nurse, Mrs. June Favour. Speech and hear¬ ing therapist, Mrs. Jean Edds, tests yearly for hearing defects, and lends aid to those students who have difficulty in speaking. These tests are only a few in the over-all plan for better health in MHS. Mrs. Jean Edds Mrs. Ernestine Carroll Mrs. Helen Coglan, who tends to the bookstore, also does all the book purchasing for the school. Besides this, she is aud¬ itor for all club and extra¬ curricular activities. Mrs. Ernestine Carroll assists in Mr. Brown’s office. She keeps attendance records and does filing and typing for the deans. Maintenance director Herschel Baker, who oversees all custo¬ dial work, also buys materials for remodeling and repairing the buildings. Mr. Kenneth Taylor has charge of all truancy cases and atten¬ dance records. Herschel Baker, Director of Maintenance and Kenneth Taylor, Attendance Teacher Supply; Central Normal, B.S.; Indiana, M.S.

A seven per cent increase in freshmen over last year caused the hiring of Mrs. Virginia Brajner and Mr. Donald Winslow for English and biology classes. Mr. Marvin Henry, a student teacher here last year, was added to teach seventh-grade geography, with Mrs. Hazel Owens reassigned from geography to take the freshmen social living classes. Mrs. Jacqueline Hounchell now teaches junior high music because of the overload in the seventh and eighth grades. Two other new teachers, Mr. James Mattingly, art, and Mrs. Mary Jo Sims, English, were replacements. Miss Georgann Shufflebarger returned this year after an absence of one year for advanced study. A Teacher’s Council was organized to aid Mr. Kurtz with the planning of school policy. There are eight teachers in the Council along with the two deans. An outcome of their meet¬ ings was the slow-learner’s workshop, in which the teachers met to discuss the problem of re¬ tarded students.

Freshman Jane Edson dreams of receiving a National Honor So¬ ciety pin from Martha Jean Bastin, this year’s society president. Three new clubs joined the ranks of Martinsville High School’s already well- rounded extra-curricular program this year. Junior Hi-Y and Junior Tri Hi-Y now train eighth grade boys and girls for later work in senior high clubs, and the Junior Sunshine Society prepares fresh¬ man girls for membership in the Sunshine Society. For the third consecutive year FFA won the gold emblem in the state chapter contest. Each club sponsored an after-the-game mixer, under the super¬ vision of the Student Council. Dramatics Club presented its annual Drama Night, and THE ARTESIAN, for the third con¬ secutive year, won top honors in national competition for the 1953 book.

Chorus Divides as Size Increases Interest in vocal activities grew so much this year, and so many students turned out, that the mixed chorus, under direction of Mr. James Roderick, had to be divided into two groups, with each division rehearsing at sep¬ arate times. The number of Madrigal singers was also extended. Madrigal, formerly composed of eight outstanding members of the chorus, now has twelve members. This enlarged group won a second place rating at the state solo and ensemble contest this year. They sang two songs for the annual Christmas program. The two choruses combined to give per¬ formances. Their first was the Christmas pro¬ gram, given this year in cooperation with the elementary school chorus. They next sang at a public concert on March 30. Page Twenty-eight The choruses of the Martinsville schools combined to bring the people of Martinsville a very impressive Christmas program. Participating in the program were the senior high mixed chorus, cadet chorus, junior high chorus and the sixth-grade choir. With in their heart . . . Vocalists Entertain Many On April 2, the chorus went to Bedford for the District Choral Festival. On the following day they were in Franklin for the state contest. They per¬ formed also in the May Festival, which has become an annual event here. The final activity was singing at baccalaureate services. In October, nine chorus members participated in the 1000-voice all-state chorus at Indianapolis. The Madrigal, besides singing for school pro¬ grams and activities, performed for the local Kiwanis and Lions clubs. For Christmas programs at both clubs the group presented a number of carols. Fol¬ lowing the Kiwanis program the group caroled at three sanitariums, the county hospital, and for the sheriff and his guests. Then the group was enter¬ tained by Sue Holmes with chocolate and doughnuts. MADRIGAL — BOTTOM ROW: Mr. Roderick, Mar¬ tha Meadows, Janice Beaman, Erlene Dunigan.

A winter concert on February 23 was highlighted by a fire- baton twirling exhibition by Laura Ann Record, Myrna Reynolds, and Sue Holmes. At the band contest at Franklin, April 3, a first division rating was earned. The band performed with other organizations in the music department at the May Festival. At the district and state contests, there were four solos and four ensembles which won first division ratings. The band also showed itself to be very bene¬ ficial to the community by playing at all home bas¬ ketball games. They provided half-time entertain¬ ment at home football games with their marching. An outcrop of the regular band was the dance band, which was assisted by Mr. Gene Burns, a student teacher from Indiana State. Page Thirty • • • Middle Jbee Jbee Orchestra Fiddles Its Way to the Top State-wide recognition was accorded the MHS orchestra this year. For the sixth straight year the full orchestra won first division rating in the state contest, held this year April 3 at Franklin. Invited by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Wilbur Young, the string orchestra played for three hours at a reception attended by nearly 5000 teachers in the State House ro¬ tunda during the state teachers convention in October. A group of junior high string players pre¬ sented a short concert and acted as a clinic group for a demonstration conducted by Prof. Elizabeth Green of the University of Michigan at the Indiana Music Educators conference in Indianapolis in December. Included in the state contest selections this year were one movement of “St. Paul’s Suite” by Holst and the “Rosamund” overture by Schubert. In the state solo and ensemble contest at Butler University the orchestra had one solo and three ensemble first division winners. Director James Roderick’s musicians were busy during the year in public concerts, sup¬ plying intermission music for class plays, and participating in the state orchestra festival at Southport in March, as well as in the local music festival in May.

Student Council Under a new membership arrangement this year, two person s from each class in senior high school were elected to the Student Coun¬ cil by the student body, and all class and club presidents automatically became members. This year the high school clubs sponsored the after-the-game mixers under the super¬ vision of the Student Council. Among its accomplishments this year were the purchase of a new and bigger coke ma¬ chine, helping to purchase the much-needed new auditorium curtain, and buying a piano dolly for the music department.

Novel Yells Added Club Has Service Program With “Dragnet” and the “Bunny Hop” add¬ ing a novel touch to this year’s agenda of yells, the cheer leaders stimulated mass backing for our football and basketball teams. Pep ses¬ sions before many of the basketball games and especially before the sectional and regional tourneys were excellent spirit rousers as well as entertaining. The squad, consisting of Betsy Schnaiter, Norma Mansfield, Judy Guy, Arlene Bastin, and Gordon Goss, will lose Betsy and Norma this spring. Mr. Carson served as faculty ad¬ viser. Lights out! These are familiar words to all MHS stu¬ dents as they are seated in the auditorium for motion pictures shown by the Projector Club. Then, as the lights flash out, the operator switches on the picture, adjusts the sound, and sits back to enjoy a film. The Projector Club is a non-profit organiza¬ tion which gives its time and resources for the benefit of the student body. It also furnishes projectors and operators for use by commu¬ nity groups when they are needed. Mr. Foster Thomas is sponsor of the Projector Club. CHEER LEADERS — Senior high cheer leaders this year were Arlene Bastin, Judy Guy, Gordon Goss, Norma Mans¬ field, and Betsy Schnaiter.

I think it should go into the magazine; it’s hilarious!” “Don’t tell me we still have to cut out more stories! They’re all so good, I don’t know which to take out.” These were but a few of the headaches encountered by the editorial staff of the English magazine, HIGHLIGHTS. The staff made the final selection of stories submitted by screening committees from all English Page Thirty-four classes. The subscription committee was aided by the publicity committee, which made post¬ ers for the halls. This year, for the first time since the English department began publication in 1950, HIGHLIGHTS has a theme: A Literary Meal. All material was written by English students, while the advanced typing class did the sten¬ ciling and mimeographing. The art classes aided with the drawings for the magazine. BOTTOM ROW: M.

Dramatics Club Presents Little Women “Onstage Jo!, Where’s Amy?, Beth can’t get her wings to stay on!” These were some of the frantic cries of the stage and property crew before the curtain went up for the Dra¬ matics Club’s presentation of Louisa Mae Al- cott’s LITTLE WOMEN. The story took place in the living room of the March family in the late 1800’s. “Little women,” Jo, Amy, Beth, and Meg, were por¬ trayed by Peggy Hicks, Maria Lovett, Sue Holmes, and Martha Jean Bastin. Myrna Rey¬ nolds and J. L. Wolff were the parents. Other members of the cast were Paul Townsend, Phil Goetcheus, Nyla Crone, Eloise Eskew, Crone Knoy, Linda Harvey, Linda Lowder, Erlene Dunigan, Betty Nix, and Dick Kinley. After a chili supper, late in October, the old members of the Dramatics Club at last got their chance to get revenge for the initiation they went through to get into the club. After some ten or fifteen new members were liter¬ ally “put through the mill,” wearing their clothes backwards, crawling up and down stairs, feeling “Caesar’s Heart” (a canned to¬ mato), and drinking “Shakespeare’s Blood,” they became full-fledged members. A picnic and a trip to I. U.’s Little Theater to see the Jordan River Revue concluded the year for the Dramatics Club. Don Wise wielded the gavel as Dramatics Club president this year, assist¬ ed by Linda Lowder, sec¬ retary; Peggy Hicks, treas¬ urer, and J. L. Wolff, vice- president. Lavonne Wampler gets the full treatment as Phil Goetcheus, Mary Jane Por¬ ter, Elmer Reynolds, and Peggy Hicks make her feel “Caesar’s Heart” at the Dramatics Club initiation. Jt i a Silver cAnniverbary, but 9 9 • FFA Wins Gold Emblem in State Contest A third consecutive gold emblem in the state chapter contest was a fitting climax to the local chapter’s observance of the twenty- fifth anniversary of the Future Farmers of America. The well-rounded activity program of the MHS chapter brought top district hon¬ ors for the thirteenth straight year. John Musgrave, who captured third in the state farm electricity contest for individuals last year, took first place and $100 in the soil and water management contest this spring. Junior Telfer, Charles Cragen and James Pearcy represented the chapter at the state convention at Purdue in April. Junior was in the state FFA band for the third year, as well as in the national band at the Kansas City con¬ vention. He was accompanied by John Pearcy, who served as a delegate-at-large. Business at hand was taken care of during various meetings. The summer meeting was held at the home of Kenneth Kitchen, and was concluded with committee reports. The fall district meeting, which was held in November, was used for ceremonies which raised Green- hands to Chapter Farme rs. Pictures taken at the National FFA Convention were shown to the boys. At the spring district meeting in Feb¬ ruary, Martinsville and Plainfield were win¬ ners in the chapter contest. The FFA attended to two other important matters this year. They had two committees: farm fire safety and car safety. Richard Shane headed the farm fire committee, and James Pearcy was chairman of the car safety group. Each committee appeared before the Farm Bureau and demonstrated safety techniques by use of charts, films, and fire-fighting equip¬ ment. Four boys also built a display for the school show case. They were Norman Voyles, Bob Burkhart, Junior Telfer, and Bob Brenton. The display consisted of the FFA calendar, supply service such as pens and pencils, a Na¬ tional FFA Band jacket, the president’s jacket, and an enlarged FFA emblem. BOTTOM ROW: P. Schoolcraft, J.

The FFA, while celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary in all solemnity, also had a few lighter moments. The first call-together for purely entertaining reasons was the Green- hand Initiation, held this year at Plainfield. The boys had fun at the FHA party, where introductions were made all around, games played, and refreshments served. They also had fun at the Girl-friend Party, for any party with a full hour of uninterrupted darkness would have to be enjoyed. The Pay-off Supper was paid for by the loser of the two teams inside the chapter. The contest was based on daily activities. Naturally, the food tasted better to the winners, but everyone was happy. Outside of parties, there were two big events that were enjoyed all around. Combining business with pleasure, the boys took a three-day trip to Toledo, Ohio, last year. And they beat the Hi-Y in the annual basketball game, 11-6. Page Thirty-seven Playing “Wink” provided a wonderful op¬ portunity for the FFA boys to flirt with the FHA members at the party given for them by the Future Homemakers. Refreshments were served at the FHA-FFA party by Edith Brummett, Lorene Gray, and Betty McAninch. Suture J4omemaker£ 0 c4merica . . . FHA Entertains with Yule Tea A centerpiece of red roses adorned the candlelit service table to add just the right touch to the Future Homemakers Christmas tea. A decorated Christmas tree combined with a background of softly played carols com¬ pleted the effect as members of the faculty and homemaking department enjoyed their tea or coffee, assorted cookies, candies, and nuts. This annual affair has become the high¬ light of the club’s activities. Along the less formal line, but always looked forward to, are the Boy-friend Party, the Mother and Daughter Supper, the Senior Party, and the Future Farmers Party. Approximately eighteen new members were informally initiated at the city park this fall. Each girl was dressed in bright plaid blouse, blue jeans, and one high-heel and one low-heel shoe. Each girl was led to the park by her Big Sister and then required to push a balloon up the hill with her nose and crawl back down, head first. All their shoes were then mixed together in a pile and each one had to find her own — blindfolded. After a few other grueling stunts, designed to make the evening unforgettable, the Big Sisters were served their refreshments by the new members. A more solemn, but very necessary part of receiving new members was the formal initia¬ tion held in room 6. Everyone wore dark skirts and white blouses. A table spread with a white cloth had the secretary’s ledger, the treasurer’s ledger, and the constitution placed on it. A vase of red roses and candlesticks with red and white candles decorated the table. The five top officers conducted the service after which each girl received her membership card and a small replica of the emblem of the, Future Homemakers club. Page Thirty-eight Club lAJork i or J4onor Chapter gating Increased interest in this year’s program was aroused by the combined desire of all the members to fill their crown with rubies to make the Honor Chapter for the second consecutive year. Each of the twenty rubies for the crown is put in its place after the given requirement is completed. To help fill their crown the girls have bought a coupon book of UNESCO stamps. Mr. Bremer also gave a talk and film about the United Nations as one of the requirements. For the first time one of our local members has held a dis¬ trict office. This year’s president, Sheila Cragen, is district parliamentarian. She has attended two district workshops, the state workshop, and the national convention. The club also attended the fall district meeting at Hanover College. The club chose as a money-making project to sell bottles of vanilla extract. A point system, based on the amount sold by each girl, made the project competitive. The two high-point girls each received a set of place mats.

Artesian Wells Provide Yearbook Theme High standards set for us by the fine edi¬ torial work in the past several years pushed the yearbook staff relentlessly this year. Dur¬ ing the past three years THE ARTESIAN has gained three All-American rankings from the National Scholastic Press Association at the University of Minnesota and two Medalist ratings from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, the highest possible honors from the two associations. The mineral water wells which have given our teams and publications their names have provided the staff this year with a theme for THE ARTESIAN. We have endeavored to show some of the far-reaching effects of this natural phenomenon. The book was printed by the Reporter Publishing Company with covers and binding coming from the Heckman Bindery of North Manchester. Engraving work was done by the Indianapolis Engraving Company. The Campus Studios of Bloomington furnished the senior pictures and many group and informal shots, and underclass pictures were by Hewitt Stu¬ dios. The Ewing and Vista studios of Martins¬ ville also made photography contributions. Jimmy Asher, assistant business man¬ ager, checks the subscription file under the supervision of Miss Margaret Rose, business adviser. Jimmy also assisted in writing and lay-out work. Betsy Grant, business manager, also served as staff typist. Serving on THE ARTESIAN staff this year were Bruce Throckmorton, sports editor; William Bange, art editor; Bob Hill, writer; Suzanne Rose, activities editor; Maria Lovett, classes editor, and Janet Poore, writer. Don Wise, junior editor, reads proof while Martha Jean Bastin, editor, and Mr. Bremer, editorial adviser, examine THE ARTESIAN dummy. Page Forty Junior Journalists Meet Deadlines “Quick, fold some more papers. Put them in piles of twenty-five, remember.” Who was that? Elmer Reynolds, editor-in- chief of our school newspaper, the ARTESIAN HERALD. When was it heard? Every two weeks when the paper came out. Where? In the Herald staff room, of course. How? Through the constant reporting of news and items of interest by 21 journalism students with the help of Mrs. John Mann. At Christmas time the paper sponsored a contest; Lou Ann Hatter was elected Miss Merry Christmas and Lloyd Sloan was Mr. Santa Claus. The two went with some of the staff to deliver food and clothing the staff had furnished for a family. A special sectional tourney edition was pub¬ lished and another special edition honored Principal Royce Kurtz before he left to take up his new duties at Delphi. Bob Myers get the presses ready to print another of the bi¬ weekly issues of the Artesian Herald. Francis Dransfield, Keith Skaggs, Loran Freeman, Ivan Bales and Larry Hess are settings headlines for the Herald. Maria Lovett, assistant editor; Elmer Reynolds, editor-in- chief; Nancy Suddith, society editor, and Betsy Schnaiter, feature editor, formed the editorial staff for the Artesian Herald this year.

Sunshine Society Spreads Good Cheer Andre Bowman served as Sunshine So¬ ciety president this year; Janet Poore, treasurer; Carolyn Oldham, corresponding secretary; Opal Hurt, secretary, and Betsy Grant, vice-president. “Have you seen my big sister? She’s sup¬ posed to sit beside me.” Thus did Sunshine Society meet for the first time under a new plan of assigned seats and “big sisters,” to speed the taking of the roll and to offer aid and comfort to new members of the organization. Informal initiation provided many a laugh, at least for the old members. Dressed in short frocks, big hair ribbons, and knee length socks, the initiates put in lots of hard work starting the fire and serving the old members at the wiener roast at the park. Then they paraded onto the football field to put on an intermission-time show. In contrast the formal initiation at the First Methodist Church was con¬ ducted impressively by the officers, with Miss Lorene Nantz, county re¬ ligious education teacher, as guest speaker. The Mother-Daughter Tea followed in the church parlor. Page Forty-two County Home Gets Yuletide Attention Again this year the Sunshiners had the county home as their main project. At Thanks¬ giving the girls took the old folks a huge basket of fruit, but Christmas was the biggest event for them. The 78 members of the club were divided into 12 committees. Each committee was responsible for bringing gifts and food to one person at the county home. They decorated a tree for them and on Christmas Eve went out to play Santa Claus. There were many smiles, and just as many happy tears, as the girls sang carols and opened packages for the elderly people. For the second consecutive year the Sun¬ shine Society co-sponsored a Valentine Dance with the Hi-Y Club. Open to both junior and senior high school students and their guests, the semi-formal dance was a great success. Something new this year was the breakfast given by the mothers of the senior Sunshine members for their daughters. The seniors also attended the Jordan River Revue at I. U.

The purpose of the club is to train its members for membership in the senior Sunshine Society. The club is open to girls of the freshman class. Right in line with the motto of the senior society, the Junior Sunshine Society has as its theme: Helping Others. At Christmas time the girls presented gaily wrapped gifts to the peo¬ ple at the Cherry Nursing Home. Another project of the club was the mak¬ ing of table decorations at Thanksgiving for Camp Atterbury. The club was also responsi¬ ble for keeping the glass in the new display case clean. Carol McFarland, the club president, gave a report on the club before the senior Sun¬ shine Society, and the Junior Sunshiners gave a program for them later on in the year. Acting as leaders of this young organiza¬ tion were Mrs. Mary Katherine Crawford, sponsor; Carol McFarland, president; Phyllis Hacker, vice-president; Sharon Hacker, secre¬ tary; Shirley Goss, treasurer, and Pat Glidden, reporter.

Established for junior high school girls, the club distributed dolls at Christmas time, served refreshments to teachers on Record Day, and aided the Crippled Children fund drive, all under the direction of their sponsor, Mrs. Hazel Owens. Twenty-eight dolls were dressed for under¬ privileged children in the club’s first project. At mid-semester, teachers working on grades were served sandwiches and cokes by the Tri- Hi-Yers. And in the Easter Seal campaign members distributed posters and collection boxes throughout the county. Several famous women of the Bible were honored in the club programs, held the first Wednesday of each month. Money for club projects was raised by help¬ ing with the concessions program at junior high basketball games. Officers this year were Joyce O’Neal, presi¬ dent; Janice Bain, vice-president; Gale Gra¬ ham, secretary, and Rita Brummett, treasurer.

The club, patterned after the senior high school Hi-Y, has as its sponsor Mr. John Hazelett. Like the senior Hi-Y, it seeks to promote high standards of Chris¬ tian character. As their first activity, Junior Hi-Y distributed gifts among needy children of the community. Next, they sponsored a Valentine Party at which they entertained Junior Tri Hi-Y. Toward the end of the year, the Father and Son Dinner was the moment awaited by all. All activities were financed by concessions sold at junior high basketball games. During each regular monthly meeting, the club discussed recreational plans and suggestions or ideas for giving a party. The club receives Junior Hi-Y certificates and badges to award to the members. ! « L..”- uyjl ' pH BOTTOM ROW: Jimmy Collier, Bill Russell, Meredith Keller, Walter Jordon, Billy Pierce, Paul Cordell, Ronnie Ferran, Mike Rehling.

Hi-Y Promotes Clean Scholarship Serving as Hi-Y officers this year were Stanley Whetstine, treasurer; Bruce Throckmorton, presi¬ dent; Bill Bishop, vice-president; Francis Drans¬ field, sergeant-at-arms; Bob Holden, chaplain, and Jim Powell, secretary. The Highlighters furnished the music for the Hi-Y-Sunshine Valentine dance. The Highlighters are a group of MHS students who play profession¬ ally for various dances. They have faithfully furnished music for mixers held after home ball games. Hi-Y climaxed the year by awarding a $50 scholarship to a senior Hi-Y member. President Bruce Throckmorton made this presentation on class day along with the award for excellence in sportsmanship to an outstanding senior boy. Earlier in the year Hi-Y sponsored a post¬ game dance to climax the festivities of the first homecoming of MHS. December was a busy month for Hi-Y. Along with the annual Hi-Y- FFA benefit basketball game were the sale of Christmas candy and a gift basket for a needy family. The latter project was new and is ex¬ pected to continue annually. During the last week of the first sem ester the Hi-Y sponsored a clean scholarship week. Cards pointing out ten facetious reasons for cheating in school were distributed to all stu¬ dents. Eight members attended the district meet¬ ing at Morristown on March 11. Jim Bishop was president of the Science Club this year; Janice Cain, secretary; Ann Poulos, re¬ porter; Donna Pratt, librarian, and David Harker, treasurer.

Science Club Meets with a Bang Some of the explosions and foul odors which were prevalent in the halls around rooms 204 and 216 this year were the results of the Science Club’s guest demonstration speakers. On one occasion several students jumped when Prof. Schmidt ignited several explosive mixtures with a candle. Another professor from the I. U. physics department demonstrat¬ ed several of the effects of static electricity. The two meetings per month were divided between business and demonstrations from guests or club members. The outside speakers were secured from the chemistry and physics department at Indiana University. The school’s first Science Fair was the club’s main activity of the year. A local exhibit was made as a preliminary step to state and national competition. In their effort to help the community this year the Science Club collected money for the March of Dimes.

Slide Set i Stood ai • • • Lettermen Entertain with Harvest Dance Believing that sportsmanship can best be promoted by people engaged in athletics, the Lettermen’s Club attempts to gain this goal by appropriate projects and activities. To pro¬ mote school spirit as well as to replenish the treasury, the boys sold athletic buttons and shakers during the basketball season this winter. The club’s big event, the Harvest Dance on November 13, was held in the old gym. Corn fodder was used for decoration, while the ice was broken by a playground slide, the only means of entrance to the dance floor. The boys sponsored other activities includ¬ ing a mix er after the Bedford game, a pre- Christmas party for the members of the club, and a picnic during the last week of school. Membership in the Lettermen’s Club is open to winners of letters in any interscholas¬ tic sport played here. Mr. Norman Coglan is club sponsor. BOTTOM ROW: T. Russell, J. Guinn, M. Curtis, J.

Sportsmanship talks and invitations to join the B.Y.T.T.G.S. club encouraged students to follow the rules of good sportsmanship. Boost Your Team Through Good Sportsmanship badges proved the success of the week. The annual Christmas dance was decorated with plump little snow men and sparkling Christmas trees.

Page Fifty-one ATHLETICS It was only a dream in January, but on February 27 Bifl Edwards’ hope of winning the first Sectional crown since ’43 was fulfilled. A steady stream of athletic achieve¬ ments reached its crest in February as the Artesian basketballers copped the sec¬ tional crown, to the surprise of everyone except loyal MHS rooters. The golf team took its second confer¬ ence championship in a row. Two teams, tennis and cross-country, making their debuts this year, must be considered suc¬ cesses. The cross-country runners placed second in the SCC meet, the same position taken by the track team last spring. Two other teams spurted to new highs this year. The baseball team, with a 6-3 record last spring, had the best percent¬ age record in their history. The football team, owning a 3-5-1 mark, also had a better record than any recent team.

Tihree ‘Win and a Z)ie . Artesian Gridders Find New Scoring Punch A new scoring punch which produced 18 touchdowns highlighted the 1953 football sea¬ son. Under new head coach Max Shaw the Artesians scored more points than in the prev¬ ious three seasons combined. After losing the first game of the season, the Artesian gridders came back to win three consecutively, tie one, and lose the final four. Greensburg’s 19 to 2 win over the Artesians in the opener showed that experience and solid defense gain victories. The 51 points scored by Martinsville in the victories over Bedford and Mitchell exceeded the total point production of any Artesian team since 1949. Both games were highlighted by Kip Schnaiter’s long break-away runs. In these two games Halfback Schnaiter tallied 39 points. Martinsville, trailing 21-12 at the three- quarter mark, rallied for a 25-21 victory over the Greencastle Cubs. A balanced scoring attack with Sheeks, Williamson and Labertew all crossing the goal line featured the rest of the season. Shelbyville proved that the Artesians were not the only team with a last-quarter drive as the Golden Bears came through with a 13 to 13 tie in the final seconds of the game. Tides turned as the local gridders lost the next two game away from home. Connersville had everything it takes to be a champion as they handed the Artesians a bitter 27 to 13 defeat. Unbeaten University School was still blossoming in their homecoming game as they rolled over the Artesians 25 to 0, the only shut¬ out suffered by the local boys. At home again the Artesians could not get back in the victory column. Franklin squeezed out a 12 to 7 victory and Plainfield won the first homecoming game held at MHS by a 15 to 6 score.

Five South Central Conference games will give Martinsville a berth in the conference play — the first time for full conference com¬ petition. Six of the ten scheduled games will be played away from home. Stan Labertew shook off this Green¬ castle tackier to score on a thirty-yard touchdown jaunt. Football managers Bill Trowbridge, Tom Dill, Sid Steele, and Darrell Dill could be seen any afternoon before a gridiron clash, faithfully lining the field. Senior members of the football squad played in their last high school game cdrtetianA Score in ’54 Tourneys Brighten Season Record Seven wins out of eight attempts in tourney play brought the MHS basketball team up to the fifty per cent mark for the season with 13 victories against as many defeats. Prior to sectional games the Artesians were unable to mark up a victory away from home but did entertain home-town fans with six wins, while dropping games on the local hardwood only to Greencastle, Connersville, New Albany, and finally in the Regional to Terre Haute Gerstmeyer. The season started with a 57-53 victory over Mooresville. The Artesians then proceeded to show their worst form of the season in drop¬ ping games to Greencastle, Rushville, and Batesville. They put their name back in the victory column with a 52-30 win against Shel- byville by using a slow, possession-style game. This type of playing showed up well against New Albany and Greensburg but failed to reg¬ ister a win until the Columbus game. Showing even at this early date in season that they could win the important ones, Mar¬ tinsville beat both University and Seymour to win the Holiday Tourney. Losses to Shortridge and Jeffersonville and a win over Broad Ripple set the stage for a 41-37 licking of Bloomington to bring home the “Shaving M ug.” Close losses to Crawfordsville and Conners¬ ville, a fifteen-point defeat by Franklin, and a heartbreaker to Southport after leading by twenty points forced Coach Bisesi to leave be¬ hind his possession game and play a fast-break¬ ing style. After outplaying Bedford in the sea¬ son’s finale, the team continued their running attack through a successful sectional and hard- fought regional. Bill Edwards, sophomore forward, was leading scorer for the Artesians this year with a grand total of 446 points in 26 games. Senior Jim Bates broke individual scoring records in two games during the year. Jim scored 32 points against Rushville at Rushville and 32 against Connersville at Martinsville. Jim’s grand total was 361 points in 26 games. Prospects for ’55 look good, as only Bates, MacLeod and Slaven are graduating. Members of the 1953-54 varsity were, kneeling.

Although crossing the plate fewer times than the opponents, the Artesians had a full season record of five wins and three losses. The three teams that chalked up victories over Martinsville were conference champion Colum¬ bus 8-4, Franklin 7-0, the only shutout suffered during the season, and Southport 8-2. In general, the 1953 baseball team was good. Victories were scored over Shelbyville, Monrovia, Greensburg, Rushville, and Conners- ville. The biggest margin of victory was scored over Rushville 9-1.

(Runner lip . . . Cindermen Garner Host of Red Ribbons Although handicapped by lack of a track this spring, the track team hit its stride with the runner-up position in the 1954 Linton Relays, the same spot as last year. Mike Curtis with 13 and Jim Bates with 10 points led all scorers. Earlier this season the team lost a dual meet at Bloomington, won over Shelby- ville, and came in second to Columbus in a three-way affair with Shelbyville. The 1953 cindermen completed a success¬ ful season when Ron Cordell tied for third place in high-jump competition at the state meet for the first Artesian score in the state tournament in several years. Columbus proved to be a jinx to the Arte- sians in the 1953 conference meet as they finished second, five-sixths of a point behind the Bulldogs. Seeking revenge, the Artesians placed second in the sectionals a few points ahead of Columbus, but behind Bloomington. Ron Cordell placed first in the high-jump at the Hoosier Relays with a jump of 6 feet, % inches and Mike Curtis broke his brother’s school broad-jump record with a leap of 21 feet, 3V2 inches. Marshall Goss set a new MHS mile record of 4:40 in the 1954 Linton Relays. Last fall cross-country was added to inter¬ scholastic competition. The Artesians placed second in the conference meet behind Shelby¬ ville after Columbus was disqualified for using an ineligible runner. Cross-country will be started in August next year along with the start of football season with an increase in the number of meets. The season proved the popularity of cross¬ country as a new addition to the program by the interest shown in the initial turn-out and the good showing made in competition. Page Sixty I I Tjennh M,akeA bebut ai . . . Linksmen Retain Conference Crown For the second consecutive year the Arte¬ sian linksmen brought home the bacon by win¬ ning first place in the conference tourney. With a foursome consisting of Sam Carmichael, Tom Tackett, Bill Edwards, and Don Bisesi, all underclassmen, this trick might be pulled again. The men from the greens won approxi¬ mately half of their regular matches preceding the tourney. In 1954 spring competition the team won over Franklin, lost to Seymour, and was tied by Bloomington. Highlighting the individual performances were Sam Carmichael’s low medalist honors in the conference tourney, first time for a fresh¬ man competitor, and Tackett’s third place in the same meet. Competing in conference tennis competi¬ tion for the first time, a quartet of Artesian racquet-swingers won two first-round singles matches. In the doubles event Junior Telfer and Gary Wininger carried their opponents to the full three sets before tiring. Larry Win¬ inger took his first-round singles in spite of a turned ankle. Bob Holden fell in the second- round to the eventual singles champ. Sam Carmichael, low medal¬ ist in the SCC championship meet, gives the rest of the golf team a few pointers. From left to right are Donel Bisesi, Billy Dixon, Tommy Tackett, Bill Edwards, Ray¬ mond Hammons, Mr. Bisesi, Bob Payton, and Mike Curtis. Bob Holden, Larry and Gary Wininger, and Virgil Telfer, Jr., made up the tennis team this year. This was the first year for tennis in the school, and the boys did very well in the SCC competition.

Mike Wolff daydreams of the day when he and Sarah Sweet can don a cap and gown for senior graduation ceremonies. w.anN .c From the majestic height of the spray down to the tiny trickles, senior high busi¬ ly spurted along all year. One of the se¬ niors’ big moments was the class play, “Graduation Daze.” Seniors supplied the dignity and leadership in all school activi¬ ties. The juniors’ “Great Scotts” play and “Modernistic Rendezvous” prom proved their ability to step into senior shoes. Be¬ coming eligible for Hi-Y and Sunshine pleased the sophomores, as did providing five players for the varsity basketball team. Freshmen showed that they were getting their feet wet in school activities with their Biology Open House. Page Sixty-five f wxm Hina l Curtain Halit • « Last Act is Greatest for Seniors After reviewing our four years of exposure to education at MHS, we seniors realize that we were not always seasoned actors. Yes, sometime in the obscure past, we were insig¬ nificant little extras. It all started in 1950, when the talent scouts from junior high school sent us on to the big studio. Timidly at first, some of our members started to play bit parts in produc¬ tions featuring athletics, music, and clubs. We Reach Sophomore Status When the next reel was started, as sopho¬ mores, our directors saw to it that we received more training in preparation for our debut on the big stage. As juniors, on the upper half of the ladder, we really started to do things. We starred in “Our Miss Brooks” and produced our first dance which was “Heaven on Earth.” We re¬ ceived our class rings as reward and proudly took the senior seats. The Big Year Arrives As seniors we assumed our role as leaders, giving our best in athletics and clubs. With a calm finish but a turmoil inside, we traded pic¬ tures, ordered announcements, produced and starred in an even greater play, and were meas¬ ured for our costumes in which we were to play our last scene. Commencement became more of a reality as we began rehearsals on “Graduation Daze,” a play written especially for us by Director Betty Mann. The premier performance of this play with its MHS setting was given on April 29 at a junior high matinee. In the cast were Virginia Richardson, Myrna Reynolds, Maria Lovett, David MacLeod, Larry Wininger, Jerry Davee, Crone Knoy, Pat Cramer, Carole Mere¬ dith, Bruce Throckmorton, Ann Poulos, Ralph Northern and Bill Paul. Prom Is Social Highlight Our last event before graduation was the Junior Prom. It seemed very strange to sit back and watch the juniors do all the planning and work which we had done the year before. We chose Maria Lovett to reign over the Prom as queen, with Norma Mansfield, Ann Poulos, Lou Ann Hatter, and Nancy Whitlow as senior attendants. As we look back over our years in school, we shall always remember the festivities, the awards, the experiences in general, as a signifi¬ cant culmination of our years at Martinsville High School. Senior officers Martha Jean Bastin, secretary; Crone Knoy, president; Jim Bates, vice-president, and George Bowers, treasurer, are measured for their caps and gowns by Miss Rose and Mr. Bremer, class sponsors.

Each year the State Employment Service gives a series of aptitude tests to about forty selected se¬ niors. These students are taking the manual dexterity test. These seniors are taking a series of tests to qualify for scholarships to any Indiana college or univer¬ sity. This year the scholarship aspirants from the county high schools came to MHS, which was designated the testing center. On the stage during practice of the class play, “Great Scotts,” are junior class officers: Bill Dixon, president; Bill Bishop, vice-president; Judy Champlin, treasurer, and Jacque Eaton, secretary. “Qreat Scotty . . . Juniors Accept Responsibilities The juniors, with only one more year to go, broke vigorously into the act. To the conster¬ nation of many, there were the inevitable re¬ fresher math tests, and then the more pleasant task of choosing and exchanging class rings. “Great Scotts” gave the juniors their first real opportunity to display their acting abili¬ ties, portraying the story of a feuding family. With “Modernistic Rendezvous” as the theme, the juniors enthusiastically decorated the gym and entertained their guests royally at the 1954 prom. The big time finally came for the Juniors to buy then- class rings. Sue Holmes tries to decide which one to pick, while Bob Brenton, Bill Dixon, Richard Shane, and Jack Hale look on. Peggy Hicks demonstrates to Carolyn Oldham how she would come home and flop down on the couch if she were doing it her way in the junior class play. Sheila Cragen calls the doctor while David Harker and J. L. Wolff try to revive Carolyn Oldham after a heart attack. Peggy Hicks seems very unconcerned over the matter and continues to blow her bubble gum.

To lead them through their second year of high school the sophomores elected Rosalind Schaniter, president; Bill Johnson, vice-president, and Sue Maxwell, secretary-treasurer. Sophs Shine in Many Fields Feeling very secure, with the freshmen below them, the sophomores had a rather un¬ eventful year as far as class activities were concerned. However, as individuals they were far from inactive! “What to do in case of an accident” pro¬ vided many a headache for all sophomores as they struggled through a required course in health and safety. In English they met up with Shakespeare for the first time as they studied Julius Caesar. There were quite a few sur¬ prised sophomores as they realized that they were actually enjoying it. They contributed two members to the yelling squad and several to the various athletic teams. As new members of Sunshine and Hi-Y they bustled with energy.

Freshmen Make Debut With high ambitions the freshmen hitched their wagon to a star, joining us in the fall of ’53. Choosing their own subjects for the first time the class of 1957 started up the ladder of success. Studies took up most of their time, but they also played bit parts in club and ath¬ letic activities. From their midst came the only male member of the yell leading squad this year, Gordon Goss. To lead them in their first year of high school the freshmen elected Barbara Cragen, secretary- treasurer; Mike Wolff, president, and Sue Schnaiter, vice-president.
