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. Page Four

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
