Sev¬ eral Martinsville junior high stu dents participated in the ground breaking ceremonies. Junior The first phase of the extensive building program in the Metropolitan School District was completed with the dedication of the new junior high building on March 27. The architects were selected in February 1953, contracts were awarded in January 1954, the ground¬ breaking ceremony was held on March 13, brick work began on April 8, and finally classes began using the building on January 3, 1955. There are eighteen class¬ rooms at the present time, with plans to add an addi¬ tional wing in a few years. Half of these are now being used by elementary students until further con¬ struction is completed. If you happened to pass during the summer, work¬ men were busy raising the walls. Students on the east side of the school build¬ ing, especially upstairs, were entertained by work¬ men crawling around on the roof like ants in the early weeks of October. The roar of the cement mixers could be heard dis¬ turbing the summer peace for blocks around. Many jobs, such as in¬ stalling the heating plant, were handled by sub-con tractors. . f . rfl % r ' fe. i- E-i ■Mr-? Mm p Lc HI i Sheila Cragen was one of the Student Council members who manned the telephone in the new building. Construction Program The cafeteria, which serves elementary, junior high, and high school students, is probably the out¬ standing feature of the building. There are accommo¬ dations to serve approximately 400 students at one time. The rooms and corridors are lighted according to the best standards for modern school lighting. The heating plant is large enough to provide adequate heat for the future expansion. An intercommunica¬ tion and public address system will give the office staff a chance to save “shoe leather,” as they can talk to any room in the building by merely pressing a button. BOTTOM: Excitement and ex¬ pectation ran high in Mr. Ran¬ dall’s class on moving day. Mrs. Turchi enjoys the decorat¬ ing of her new room with its lib¬ eral bulletin board space. RIGHT: Architect Bergen points out a unique feature to three Brooklyn teachers on tour. Putting coats in new lockers and learning different combina¬ tions created a busy bustle in the halls. _ Page Eight The teachers enjoyed a new, conve¬ nient parking area in front of the school building. The new arrangement of the library proved a little confusing at first. New teachers and new students got their initiation during the book sale on the first day of school. Improvements to Old Keep Pace with New Changes in and around the high school building kept pace with the addition of the new junior high. The senior high re¬ ceived a face-lifting with new stone work over the entrance ways. The front lawn gave way to a parking lot and the athletic field was moved. Inside, the print shop got new and bigger quarters, the Ag de¬ partment acquired a committee room, the TV room was estab¬ lished, and a larger place for counseling was provided. Page Ning With lilting Spanish accent and gay smiles Mima and Jing Perez from the Dominican Re¬ public were a welcome addition to the student body. Mima and Jing listen intently as their cousin, Marty Lovett, shows them a map of the school building. Phil Goetcheus was assigned to one of the information tables on the first day of school. William Atkins and Geraldine Kaylor seem to think this innovation is a good idea. Mr. Winslow’s general science class was the first to use the new television room. The set was purchased with funds from the Student Council and the old Girls League. Hustle and hubbub were all a part of open¬ ing the new cafeteria. Everyone started out minding his manners, but good food soon had the high-schoolers eating high-school style again. BLUEPRINTING FOR TODAY AND Under the supervision of Mr. Mann, Larry Prather lays out a sketch of one of his projects in architectural drawing class. Just as a finished building requires hours of planning, conferences and schedules, so does the making of an educated person. From enrollment to graduation we build and de¬ velop our lives around plans. Before we start our freshman year, we have the problem of drawing up a four-year course. A counselor for each grade from eight through eleven helps us in program planning. Freshmen learn how to get along with peo¬ ple and how to pick a vocation in their Social Living classes. Seniors get some elementary psychology in Social Problems. In other class¬ room activities teachers and students work in small groups to plan projects. Club planning takes place in endless com¬ mittee meetings throughout the school year. I “Problems! Problems! Problems!” exclaim Mr. Shaw and Mr. Brown after a strenuous first day of school when sched¬ ules had to be straightened out. Getting ready for the big game on Friday night, Mr. Bisesi diagrams a new play for the starting five: Jim Major, John O’Neal, Bob Burkhart, Bill Edwards and Perry Quakenbush. TOMORROW Students listen intently as Mr. Wilber Kendall from the Martinsville Daily Re¬ porter explains the opportunities in the printing field on Career Day, while future farmers listen to some of the problems that may face them as stock raiser W. J. Hardy outlines the opportunities in the agricultural field. What to do after graduation is one of the questions that students try to find the answer to in Mrs. Hazel Owens’ social living classes. Here Mike Quakenbush, Maurene Heshelman and Linda Gerkin are using the vocational file, textbooks, and posters to help them reach a decision. £ David Green and Nancy Norman study the vocational guidance bulletin board in the library, while Carolyn Dutton consults with her freshman counselor, Mrs. Murrell, as she plans her program of study for next year. C? ' -rf Planning is an important phase of the work on the English department’s creative writing magazine, “Highlights.” Members of the senior English classes serving on the staff were Mary Jane Porter, Jim Asher, Jim Donnellan, Barbara Gregory, Judy Wil¬ lis, Jim Tutterow, Peggy Hicks, Bob Bren- ton and David Harker. Page Eleven Jolly St. Nick kept a watchful eye on the front hall at Christmas time thanks to the combined efforts of Jason Bowers, Lorene Gray and Glen Greeson. Mr. Carson’s biology class gets some idea of what an amoeba looks like by peering through the micro¬ scopes furnished for student use by the science department. “William has the answer!” Mrs. Murrell must have asked a hard question since William Koons, the only boy in this bookkeeping class, seems to be the only one who knows. MHS has an advanced business de¬ partment to help those students who want to enter the world of com¬ merce. Thousands of dollars worth of equipment and well trained boys are the reasons for the success of Mr. Hoch’s machine shop class. Here Merrill Collins and Dick Quakenbush are learning how to operate this uni¬ versal horizontal mill efficiently. BUILDING FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW From chemistry lab to athletic field MHS provides facilities for building character and skills. Industrial arts majors consistently land good jobs in industry. The homemaking de¬ partment aims for the building of better home life. Other vocational skills are developed in the business and vocational agriculture depart¬ ments. To meet the problems of this technical age, the science department stresses the need for scientific thinking and offers practice in scientific research methods. The math depart¬ ment gives drills in arithmetic fundamentals in the junior high to acquaint the student with a set of simple tools to which he may add the algebra, geometry and trig courses offered later. The theme of the second annual Book Bazaar was “Ex¬ ploring the World Through Books.” Miss Shufflebarger and Larry Murrell show the prospective customers the good points of the books at their table. MHS offers students a chance to build along the lines of citizenship and patriotism. Each morning Robin Durrett and Tommy Dunigan could be seen raising the flag and in the evening taking it down. Eager parents look on as Mrs. Favour demonstrates the sight testing machine at the first school open house for par¬ ents. Many parents, who were interested in the future of their children, attended. Page Thirteen Page Fourteen CLASSROOM AND EXTRA-CURRICULAR Probably the most important part in our whole education comes with the development of skills in reading, writ¬ ing and speaking. Nearly all courses make a contribution along these lines, with the English and foreign language departments offering intensive train¬ ing. While music and art offer vocational possibilities to a few talented people, these subjects help many others develop cultural appreciation. The school also provides facilities for the building of healthy bodies. A phase of the MHS character build¬ ing program is to give recognition to outstanding student-citizens. Mr. Thomas presented the American Legion awards to Carolyn Dutton and Tommy Duncan last spring on junior high honor day. An important cog in the educational machine is the teaching of skills that will be useful in vocations. Miss Rose shows Bud Tully, Jason Bowers and Stan Labertew some of the techniques involved in using a slide rule. ACTIVITIES BUILD CHARACTER AND SKILLS Mr. Telfer shows Larry Boner the difference between low quality and high quality corn. Karla Bertelsen Ennis demonstrated her passion for, and skills in home¬ making by getting married and by winning the district Homemaker of Tomorrow award. Mrs. Davis was Karla’s homemaking instructor this year. • Mike Quakenbush, Jim Pottorff, and Charles Kindler tested their abilities in making articles from metal by taking a course in metal working this year. “Long live the Queen!” Maria Lovett, queen of the 1954 prom, has just been escorted to her throne by junior class president, Bill Dixon. Surrounding them are the members of her court and their escorts: Kay Keller and Bob O’Neal, Janice Cain and J. K. Daily, Lou Ann Hatter and David Cook, Sue Holmes and Dee Terrell, Jacque Eaton and Jim Powell, Norma Mansfield and Larry Adkins, Ann Poulos and Archie Fleener, Nancy Whit¬ low ' and Ray Gilman, and Carolyn Oldham and James Major. DECORATING COMPLETES BUILDING PROCESS Just as important as the trim and decora¬ tion are to a finished building, so are some of the educational “frills” to the education of the high school student. Fun and social events are the “finishing touches” to school life. Some fifteen clubs provide wholesome opportunities to satisfy social needs, but they also make other major contributions to both individuals and the community. Experience in oral and written expression comes through club work. So does practice in giving, as the records of several clubs show at Christmastime. Other organizations pro¬ moted community welfare by putting on safe¬ ty campaigns, helping with fund drives, promoting sportsmanship, and aiding Civil Defense. Looks like Santa brought a big gift, doesn’t it? Mrs. McDonald and Joyce O’Neal put finishing touches on decora tions for the GAA Christmas Dance in the girls’ gym. Haystacks and pumpkins proved appropriate decorations for the Harvest Dance, first big social event of the year. “Shivver me timbers!” Captain Kidd has discovered the masquerading maiden who has been giving pirate information to the British fleet in a scene from the operetta, “Meet Captain Kidd.” Members of the GAA received certificates on underclassmen’s honor day last spring for rolling up the prescribed number of points. The Artesian Herald staff, besides publish¬ ing the school paper, found time to deliver gifts to a needy Morgan County family. J. L. Wolff, as Mr. Cherington in the Dra¬ matics Club production of Home Sweet Homicide,” has not yet been revealed as the murderer of Mrs. Sanford. Other members of the cast shown are Danny Goetcheus, Sue Holmes, Carolyn Dutton, Jon Japport, Bill Dixon, Lavonne Wampler and Jerry Hannum. ' ADMINISTRATION and FACULTY Page Eighteen Prin. Brown and Supt. Curtis pose at the front entrance of the new building, as they talk over some of the problems of moving pupils and supplies. Prin. Ward Brown Supt. Glenn Curtis Curtis Resigns as Superintendent The “grand old man” of Hoosier basketball “threw in the towel” this spring after serving for a total of 24 years at Martinsville. Mr. Glenn Curtis came here in 1919 as basketball coach. In 1930 he became principal while still serving as coach. When he left in 1938 to coach college and professional teams, he had a record of three state championships and two ru nners’ up. He returned as superintendent in 1948 and worked successfully for the consolidated school district, which was voted into existence in the spring of 1952. After serving for five years as assistant principal, Mr. Ward Brown completed his first year as principal on the first of April. He suc¬ cessfully moved classes into the new building and reassigned vacated rooms for a new print shop, counseling area and a television room.

They rented rooms in the First Christian Church until the Central sixth graders could be moved into the new Junior High. Center- ton hearts were gladdened when the board bought land and drew up plans for a new ele¬ mentary building there. Contracts were let for repair work in the gymnasium dressing rooms and office and for re-wiring in both the high school building and the gymnasium. Some new equipment was purchased for the high school, including a new mimeograph and an air conditioner for the office, a sewing machine for the homemaking department, and a calculator for the business department. Supt. Curtis and school attorney, Charles Foley, meet with the new school board shortly after their election in the May primary. Seated left to right are Dr. Gale Oldham, vice-president; Mr. Foley; Mr. Robert Barnard, treasurer; Mr. Curtis; Mr. Loran St. Clair, president; Mr. Robert Elmore, secretary, and Dr. Leon Gray.

Richard Elliott, former band director, returned for one semester to teach math and social studies. Mrs. Louise Medcalf, who came in the fall, was joined in January by her husband who had served for eight weeks as a practice teacher. Other new teachers were Miss Shir¬ ley Clark, Miss Mariam Hoeferkamp, Mrs. Hazel Phillips, Mrs. Alma Ru- beck, Miss Rosemary Turchi, Robert Speelman, Maurice Randall, Marvin Mullin and Kenneth Barnes.

Mem¬ bers are divided into groups to plan Christmas for a particular person at the home. On the afternoon before Christmas they go out to sing carols and distribute the gifts around the Christmas tree they have provided and dec¬ orated. Then once every month some of the Page Thirty BOTTOM PICTURE —NEW MEMBERS — BOTTOM ROW: J. Ratliff, L. Farr, L. Harvey, E. Dunigan, J. Henselmeier, J. Webel, S. Fouts, N. Manley, S. Kinder, J.

Sunshine co-sponsored with Hi-Y the annual Valentine Dance on February 12. At the en¬ trance to the gym was a swinging gate with red hearts on it. Cupids and hearts artistically decorated the room. In the center was a dais where the queen and king, Barbara Gregory and Paul Townsend, were crowned. In the spring Sunshine entertained with a party for the Hi-Y. Sunshine girls sold 1500 boxes of Christ¬ mas cards, helped with concessions at ball games, and sponsored a mixer. This year Sunshine revised their point sys¬ tem. For the first time, any senior receiving 800 points by the end of this year will receive a Sunshine plaque on senior honor day. On February 16, Sunshine gave an auditor¬ ium program for all the high school girls. The speaker, from L. S. Ayres Co., gave an illus¬ trated talk on “Good Grooming.” Sunshine ended their busy year with the Ideal Lady Tea on April 24 and Senior break¬ fast, May 25. Even the entrance to the Valentine Dance, held in the old gym, reflected the motif of the entire affair. Dancing around the queen’s dais in the center of the floor are Sue Bennett and Bob Payton. Jerry Rose wonders, “Why did I ever get stuck with taking tickets with all these gorgeous females around!” Meanwhile Katy Herath with Bob Burkhart and John O’Neal with Peggy Hicks prepare to enter the ballroom. Mistress-of-ceremonies Eloise Eskew held the timer on Mrs. Davis as she attempted to put on the hat with the help of Mrs. Crawford during a Sun¬ shine “Beat-the-Clock” contest. Diane Campbell, at right, had her difficul¬ ties in picking up toothpicks with her hands in boxing gloves. . a ft 1 Mb: A- Sunrays Promote Bike Safety “Mrs. Owens, the warden at Michigan City is on the phone and says he can handle Sun- rays’ order for bicycle registration tags.” And so the bicycle-safety campaign reached a suc¬ cessful climax with club members handling the registration of local bike riders and encourag¬ ing safe practices with posters and safety booklets. Sunrays were admitted to state membership this year. Members chose “big sisters” from upperclassmen. The club also handled the ad¬ vertising for the crippled children fund drive.

Junior Tri Hi-Y provided for expansion by changing their constitution to admit seventh- grade girls during the second semester. At Christmas they dressed up old dolls in new clothes and gave them to unfortunate “little sisters.” Weary teachers got a lift on the Friday afternoon between semesters as club members interrupted the recording of grades with cokes and cookies. Officers were Marlene Maxwell, president; Sharon Platt, vice-president; Peggy Scherer, secretary; Joyce Leak, treasurer, and Mrs. Vir¬ ginia Brajner, sponsor. Junior Hi-Y Plays Santa Junior Hi-Y members became toy repair¬ men at Christmas time. Fifteen children had a cheerier holiday with kiddy cars, dolls, games, peg boards, and other renovated toys. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Norman Coglan, the boys undertook two money-making projects: selling cokes at the junior high bas¬ ketball games and making and selling shakers for the sectionals. Working together to build the two-year-old club this year were David Oldham, president; Robert Prather, vice-president; Clark Hill, sec¬ retary, and Darrell Voyles, treasurer. v T Varied Activities Provide Busy Year for Hi-Y Balancing hilarity with serious reflection and purpose, the Hi-Y Club completed another worthwhile year. Bordering the hilarious was the joint Sunshine-Hi-Y informal initiation, when the Hi-Y initiates vied in a beauty con¬ test dressed as girls. A serious, impressive formal initiation was held in October. Vice-president and program committee chairman, Bill Johnson, brought to the club such speakers as Mr. Dean Swift, Mr. John Hurt, Rev. Ralph Spencer, and Mr. Frank Lid- dle. The members sold candy again this year, and Treasurer Mike Wise was riding herd on the club account books. Secretary Bob Tully with his hustlin’ pencil recorded it all, and Sergeant-at-Arms Jerry Strouse did his best to keep order. Chaplain Jerry Hannum was entrusted with the spiritual life of the club, which was deep¬ ened as the members prepared a basket and bought clothes for needy boys at Christmas time. The Hi-Y also attended, as a group, a different church on the last Sunday of each month during the school year. BOTTOM ROW: W. Walker, J. McGinnis, M. Moss, C. Criss, J. Hannum, R. D. Miller, J.

Profits of over $600 from coke sales at noontime helped to buy a television set for the new TV room and new sweaters for the cheerleaders. The Council handled the sale of tickets for out-of-town basketball games. Several mem¬ bers were assigned to handle telephone calls in the new building, while others served as recep¬ tionists in the front hall of the high school. Again the Student Council divided the mixer duties among the various clubs, and profits from the dances were used to buy more water coolers for the hallways.

Meet Captain Kidd Climaxes Choral Year A rollicking, swashbuckling, scheming pirate play plus clever music and some very hilarious situations sum up the operetta “Meet Captain Kidd.” This production, highlight¬ ing the year for the choral groups, was presented to the school and public on March 18. Attending All-State Chorus at Indianapolis in the fall were Kathleen Maxwell, Marilyn Sue Summers, Donna Wil¬ liams, Kenneth Fowler, Howard Zarlington, Jim Cherry, Jerry Hannum, and Donna Pratt. In keeping with the Christ¬ mas spirit, the high school choral groups and elementary chorus combined to present an inspiring Sunday afternoon vesper service on December 19. The Madrigal Singers had a busy year, especially at the Christmas season when they appeared before a great many Page Thirty-six civic and social clubs, churches, and school audiences. In addition to appearances at the annual Vesper program, Christmas convoca¬ tion and Career Day they gave programs at churches and clubs.

Musicians Finish Busy Year With the strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” in the air, the Martinsville High School instrume ntalists com¬ pleted one of their busiest years. Even though the band ordered new uniforms this year, they didn’t arrive in time to be enjoyed by the spectators at the ball games. The uniforms replaced the old ones which were frayed and worn thin due to ten years of rigor¬ ous service. Page Thirty-eight The orchestra received the honor of getting an invitation to play for the Business Education sectional meeting during Teachers Association. Later the same day, the group also presented a program at a reception held in the State House. The band and orchestra combined to make the annual May Music Festival a success. The orchestra also journeyed to Frankfort and joined four other schools in a concert at the Mid-State Orchestra Festival. Ten music students received first division ratings in the All-State Solo and Ensemble Contest at Butler University. The orchestra won first division rating in the State Contest. The combined efforts of the band and orchestra helped make the magazine drive a success. Both groups furnished concession workers for the Tri-County tourney. Since their new uniforms had to be paid for, the band did a little extra by selling fire extinguishers.

Safety Project Wins State Recognition After winning gold emblem awards for three straight years in the state chapter con¬ test, the Future Farmers captured the silver award for a highly creditable performance. Also honored at the annual state convention with Hoosier Farmer degrees were Charles Cragen, Larry Hess and Steve Deatline. “Safety on the Farm” was the FFA activity slogan of the year. Three-member teams gave farm safety demonstrations throughout the farm community, winning first place in the dis¬ trict and third in the state farm safety contest. A new club project was providing a voca¬ tional agriculture education booth at the coun¬ ty fair, planned and erected by Steve Deatline, Jim Day, Tom Ely, Norman Voyles, and Joe Coffey. Also on the educational program was a summer field day, when the club visited the farms of Norman Voyles and Richard Hanna. Club project work was stimulated as usual by the division of the members into two teams, this year captained by Wallace Leonard and Steve Deatline. The team with the greatest accumulation of achievement points was treated to a pay-off supper by the losers. The traditional FFA social activities were enjoyed. At the family pitch-in supper tal¬ ented club members were called on for the entertainment. The FHA-FFA party, of course, featured boy-girl type games, as did the annual Girl-friend party. A local minister was guest speaker at the Mother-Son banquet. The sum¬ mer social meeting was held at the home of Steve Deatline.

Each offi¬ cer had his own banner and other appropriate trappings, giving the affair a regal air. In attendance at the Green- hand initiation were the fam¬ ilies of many Future Farmers from both Martinsville and Plainfield. Officers for the year were Mr. Telfer, adviser; George Ennis, treasurer; Paul School¬ craft, sentinel; Norman Voyles, reporter; Larry Hen- selmeier, vice-president; Joe Coffey, secretary, and Charles Cragen, president. . Page Forty-one FHA Holiday Tea Crowns Year The highlight of the year for the Future Homemakers of America was the annual Christmas tea. A pink feather Christmas tree centerpiece adorned the beautifully set table to add just the right touch. Coffee, tea, as¬ sorted cookies, candies and nuts were served to two hundred fifty home economics students, faculty members and office help. Seventeen new members were initiated informally at the girls gym. All new members wore a bib apron over an old dress that was too large, a man’s hat, and carried a doll. A more impressive, but important, cere¬ mony was the formal initiation. The event was a colorful one. The tables were decorated with eight white candles and a red one. Each white candle represented a purpose in the life of the homemaker. Cookies, mints, and punch were served at the end of the program. The Future Homemaker girls were quite helpful to the school this year. They presented the homemaking department with a silver tea set. They also planted tulip bulbs in the flower¬ beds around the school. Several members attended the district Homemakers meeting at New Albany in the fall and the state meeting at Terre Haute. Enthusiasm was tremendously aroused this year to work for Honor Chapter for the third consecutive year. To be in the Honor Chapter Elected to serve the Future Homemakers as officers this year were, standing, Annida Wil¬ liams, historian; Karla Bertelsen, vice president; Betty McAninch, corresponding secretary; Sheila Cragen, president; Mrs. Hazelett, sponsor; Joan Riddell, assistant song leader; Diane Henselmeier, song leader; Mary Atherton, treasurer. Seated are Janice Franklin, parliamentarian, and Faye Drake, secretary. Page Forty-two future Jfom em a her A of cAmerica . . .

As each re¬ quirement was completed, one brick was laid to com¬ plete their cardboard house foundation. One way in which the club worked for completion of the house was by presenting a Civil Defense program. A Future Homemaker, Karla Bertelsen Ennis, re¬ ceived the Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow award, scoring the highest on a written examination which tested the attitudes and knowledge of homemak¬ ing. The money-making project undertaken by the club was the selling of sweat shirts, tee-shirts, and scarves embellished with MHS emblems. No, they haven’t entered their second childhood. It’s just the Future Homemakers’ new members being initiated. The initiates came dressed in a man’s shoes, socks, and hat and their mother’s dress. The dolls you see them carrying had to be carried all night. The Future Homemakers endeavored to earn some money this year by selling sweat shirts, tee shirts, and scarves with Martinsville Artesian printed on them. Sellers were Judy Nichols, Diane Henselmeier, Faye Drake, Letha Fisher, Janice Franklin, Lorene Gray, Barbara Bryant, and Donna Stiles. BOTTOM ROW: J. Nichols, P. Throckmorton, B. O’Neal, N.

Highlighting the social program was the Christmas formal on Dec. 11. Teddy bears, drums and other toys, together with table dec¬ orations of evergreen, silver bells and red rib¬ bon, displayed the gaiety of Santa at Christmas time. During Sportsmanship week GAA members delivered speeches in each home room and signed up students for the sportsmanship pledge. Receiving state plaques for their GAA achievements were Jacque Eaton, Sharon Cain, Kathleen Maxwell, Cordelia White, Carole Kennedy, Sue Maxwell and Virginia Fisher. TOP PICTURE — BOTTOM ROW: P.

Page Forty-five m Home Sweet Homicide Excites Mystery Lovers A picture, a gun, and a bullet in the eye of Uncle Herbert’s portrait helped Carolyn Old¬ ham, Carolyn Dutton and Dan Goetcheus solve the murder in “Home Sweet Homicide” on Drama Night. On a particularly bad day for the club spon¬ sor, Mrs. Betty Mann, Jim Cherry dropped the keys to the cabinets down in the area below the footlights. After searching for some time, a trap door was found. Under the direction of Mr. Baker, Sydney Steele was lowered into the dark recess. As he fumbled around, an audi¬ ence of cast members and stage hands shouted directions as they sprawled like swine along the footlight trough. He finally found the keys along with marbles, combs, and a comic book. But to his great disappointment, no money. Syd returned in triumph, grimy and hot and very much the hero as everyone wanted to know what it was like “down under.” One of the club’s main objectives this year was to build up a fund for backstage equip¬ ment. Also, a costume wardrobe was started, and members solicited donations of clothing. Plans have been made for a wardrobe closet to be built by next year. A new point system was initiated this year. For the first time awards will be given to the senior and the underclassman with the highest number of points. BOTTOM ROW: J. Guy, T. Raemaekers, S. Goss, S. Gerkin, I. A. Arnold, J. Smith, E.

Lettermen Combine Fun with Service Starting off a well-rounded year of extra¬ curricular activities, the Lettermen’s Club held their annual Harvest Dance in the old gym on October 30. The gym was decorated with corn fodder and bright orange and black crepe pa¬ per, in accordance with the Halloween season. Showing that big, tough letter-winners are not all hard-boiled, the boys prepared and de¬ livered a basket of food and clothing to a needy Martinsville family. As a service to the school the Lettermen have been involved in checking past team records for the new MHS athletic handbook. Fund raising was accomplished partly by the sale of brightly colored athletics-boosting decals. The window stickers sported artesian well designs. Another money-making project was the sale of booster pins. Each Letterman was given an allotment of booster pins to ped¬ dle just before sectional time. The pins con¬ sisted of a small basketball with red and blue ribbons. Let’s get these tickets sold so we can have a good crowd at the dance! Bill Bishop, Lettermen’s Club secretary-treas¬ urer, passes out tickets for the annual Harvest Dance to Devere Fair, vice-president, and Jim Major, president. Those who attended the Harvest Dance will remember how they had to slide down the slide to the dance floor. Here J. K. Daily seems to be daring Janice Cain to make the descent. Eleanor Bolin, Perry Quakenbush, and Tom Neal seem to have selected seats where they can see just who comes to the dance.

Hams Assist Civil Defense The Radio Club, tuned in only last year, jumped to a stronger frequency this year. The club maintained an all-day watch on the air waves, assisting the county Civil Defense in operation “Smooth- out.” The job was so well done that the club was asked to help in organizing six counties for the next one. Vice-president Stanley Labertew WN9NPS, Treasurer Bill Trowbridge WN9NFB, and club member Kenneth Fowler WN9NCK, all received their novice radio licenses. As a gift to the school, the Radio Club has decided upon a transmitter in kit form for assembly by members working toward a license. On a field trip about twenty persons visited the radio and television studios at Indiana University. New Constitution Broadens Science Club Membership Building club membership and scientific attitudes were the dual aims of Science Club this year. Under the leadership of Pres. David Harker, the club adopted a new constitution extending membership to some previously ineligible underclassmen. Club members took a field trip to the Goethe Link Observatory where they examined the astronomical equipment and heard a lec¬ ture. The club planned two other field trips, both to Indiana University. Vice-president Bill Johnson arranged for various professional speakers for club meet¬ ings. Dr. Eisenberg, local physician, spoke on some aspects of the medical profession. Dr. BOTTOM ROW: R.

Page Forty-nine Construction Project Inspires Yearbook Staff The view from the Artesian staff room win¬ dow changed considerably over the past eight¬ een months. Before our eyes the junior high school grew from a hole in the ground to a com¬ pleted, occupied structure. It afforded us many a topic for conversation and provided a handy change-of-subject when talk got around to “why page seventeen was not made up” or “where is that re-write on Hi-Y?” And the building supplied us with our 1955 yearbook theme. High honors for past issues provided incen¬ tive as the staff tried to win back All-American and Medalist honor ratings. A new brand of covers, furnished by the Craftco company, was used this year. For other work the contracts went to the old standbys: Printing by the Reporter Publishing Company, binding by the Heckman Bindery of North Manchester, engravings by the Indianapolis Engraving Company, and pictures by Campus Studio of Bloomington and Hewitt Studios of Atlanta. The Reporter Publishing Company and the Indianapolis Engraving Company kept in tune with the 1955 Artesian theme by mov¬ ing to new quarters during the year. Planning, advising, writing and some “goof¬ ing off” could be seen in the staff room during the seventh period almost any day. The rov¬ ing cameraman happened by as Mr. Bremer, editorial adviser, checks with Erlene Dunigan, junior editor, and Don Wise, editor, on the progress of The 1955 Artesian. Serving on the staff were Peggy Hicks, activ¬ ities editor; Bill Dixon, sports editor; Barbara Gregory, writer; Opal Hurt, class editor; David Harker, writer, and Marilyn Summers, writer. Before a yearbook can be published and dis¬ tributed there are numerous business transac¬ tions to be handled. Miss Rose, business ad¬ viser, finds plenty of typing for Judy Willis, our Girl Friday, and filing and tabulating for Jerry Ann Applegate and Jimmy Asher, junior and senior business managers.

Page Fifty-one Journalists Keep Presses Rolling The presses rolled and another issue of the Artesian Herald was on its way. You would never think, to have heard the smooth running of the presses, that a few hours earlier the Herald staff room had been a scene of chaos. Twenty-three frantic Heraldites were busy at work, trying to meet the deadline. Again the Artesian Herald helped to elect a Miss Merry Christmas, Jacque Eaton, and Mr. Santa Claus, Jim Major. In conjunction with this the class helped provide clothing, food, gifts, and a tree to a needy family. This year a special sectional tourney issue was also pub¬ lished, and a junior high section reappeared as a regular feature. Mary Jane Porter and Ann Gilman served this year as co-editors of the Artesian Herald. On the staff were Bill Dixon, sports; Peggy Hicks, editorial; Sharon Cain, exchange; Lavonne Wampler, makeup; J. L. Wolff, assistant editor; Marilyn Sum¬ mers, features; Carolyn Oldham, copy; Janice Cain, junior high, and Jacque Eaton, clubs. Loran Freeman and Kay Keller listen intently to their journalism advisor, Mrs. Mann. Mr. Hall, the printing in¬ structor, stands by as Bill Watkins runs the press. p Reel Threaders Go Legal Cheerleaders Back Team One of Martinsville High School’s leading service organizations, the Projector Club, went legal this year by adopting a constitution and electing officers. Members of the club give their study per¬ iods to run the sometimes baffling machines, and they take pride in the fact that they sel¬ dom must call on Sponsor Foster Thomas for aid. Boys who gave a little extra by acting as officers were Gary Corder, president; Robert Etchison, vice-president; Robert Hoick, secre¬ tary-treasurer; William Crismore, chaplain, and Mike Rehling, reporter.

Made up of a freshman, two sophomores, and two juniors, the 1954-55 squad of yell leaders whooped it up with vim and vigor all season long. Under sponsorship of John Car- son, the group made the most of their pep ses¬ sions and helped carry the team through quite a few rough contests. New red sweaters received in time for the last game and the sectionals added spirit to the late season cheer-leading. The quietude quelling quintet was com¬ posed of Patsy Fouts, Gordon Goss, Carol Mc¬ Farland, Judy Guy, and Arlene Bastin. Serving so faithfully as senior high yell leaders were, standing, Arlene Bastin and Judy Guy; kneeling, Patsy Fouts, Gordon Goss and Carol McFarland.

Fumbles hampered the squad in the first game with Greensburg. Dropping the ball eight times, the MHS gridders lost to the Pirates 12-0. The Artesians bounced back to tie Bedford 6-6 as Jim Donnellan snagged a touchdown pass. Against Mitchell, Mike Walsh hit the lines and ran like a deer to score three touchdowns. Walsh danced 76 yards on a double reverse for the longest run made during the season. Bud Tully converted three extra points as the Ar¬ tesians trounced the Yellow Jackets 21-0. With Greencastle scoring first and missing the extra point, the Shawmen tied the score and lined up for the extra point. Tully went back to kick, but a bad pass from center forced him to pick up the ball and Bud ran it over to give the Artesians a 7-6 victory. Page Fifty-six Losing to Shelbyville 27-0 and Seymour 20- 12, the Artesians rolled past Connersville 12-7 and then lost to Franklin 20-6. Playing county rival Mooresville for the first time, the football luggers shellacked the Pioneers 38-0 as David Underwood, Stan Lab¬ ertew, Dick Kinley and Lloyd Sloan made the scoring column in this encounter. In the season finale the gridmen lost to the University Uni- vees 6-0. Flead Coach Max Shaw received much help from a former coaching colleague from Ohio, Robert Speelman, and from John Mann and Marvin Henry, who handled the reserve team while waiting for military service induction.

Dismal Net Season Had a Few Bright Spots Year’s-end improvement and flashes of bril¬ liance during the 1954-55 season served to counteract the Artesian basketballers’ medi¬ ocre 7-won, 13-lost record. After losing the season’s opener to Moores- ville, 55-48, Coach Eisesi began alternating the fast break with a slow, possession game. A nar¬ row loss to Rushville was followed by a narrow win, in overtime, over Ben Davis, for the first victory of the campaign. A seventeen-point margin of victory over Shelbyville gave hopes for better things to come, as did the 80 points versus Greensburg a couple of games later, but a mid-season slump saw MHS losing five consecutive games. Coach Bisesi was forced to begin the line-up juggling that eventually gave the Artesians a hot streak. John O’Neal and Bill Johnson, who had experienced little action to this point, began to rejuvenate the team. Page Fifty-eight The new order immediately licked Bloom¬ ington’s Panthers to keep the Shaving Mug. Faltering somewhat, they lost to Crawfords- ville and Connersville before Bob Burkhart, Stan Labertew, and Jim Major began to fan the flame. In the final flurry, the Artesian netters walloped Franklin and slipped by Terre Haute Garfield and Southport. The last game of the season, tighter than the score would indicate, was a loss to Bedford, 74-69. The closing rush had hardwood fans hoping for another sectional spree a la 1954, and a Booster Club was formed in time for the tour¬ ney, but a victory just was not in the book. Bill Edwards, chosen for a forward post on the South Central all-conference team, led in¬ dividual scoring with 351 points, followed by Jim Major’s 279.

Runners Cop SCC Championship The two-year-old cross country team of MHS had a very successful season winning the Conference championship and taking runner- up honors in the sectional to win a trip to the state meet. In overall season competition the thinly- clads won five and lost two meets. Coach Nor¬ man Coglan’s distance men captured dual Golfers To Try Comeback The Artesian golfers lost only one team member by graduation last spring but failed in their quest for a third straight SCC crown. In the spring of ’54, paced by Sam Car¬ michael, they placed third in the sectional. Martinsville won three, lost two and tied one in meet competition. The linksmen finished third in the Indianapolis Invitational and sec¬ ond in the Batesville tourney. This year’s squad was comprised of Tcm Tackett and Raymond Hammons, seniors, and Sam Carmichael, Jim Carm ichael, and Donel Bisesi, who will be back in the fall.

Baseballers Have 8-3 Record The baseball team of 1954 chalked up the best record since the sport was renewed in 1946. Coached by John Mann and Charles Hall, the team posted a 5-3 conference record and an 8-3 season record. Only four seniors were lost by graduation: Jim Bates and Bob Sheeks, pitchers; Jim Robinson, third base, and Dick West, outfield. If Coach Mann could find the pitching, pros¬ pects were bright when the umpire called “play ball’’ in April. By the time the yearbook had gone to press in April the squad had won four straight, beating Spencer 11-4, Moores- ville 12-0, Shelbyville 4-2, and University 10-1. 1954 RECORD We They We They n t Shelbyville 10 3 Rushville 0 8 University 3 4 Southport 5 16 Greencastle 5 3 Connersville 2 10 Greensburg 5 3 Seymour 8 4 Bloomington 2 4 Columbus 2 21 Franklin 2 Page Sixty-two 1954 Cinder Squad Compiled Good Record Each spring our track becomes the scene of frenzied activity. However, in the spring of ’54 the cindermen used the city streets and whatever other clear spaces could be found while a new oval was being built. Last year Martinsville trackmen lost a dual meet to Bloomington 83 V 2 to 25V 2 and nosed out Shelbyville 55-54. In a triangular meet at Columbus the MHS thinlies finished second with 44 points to the host school’s 58V2. The team reached its peak by finishing in a 53-tie with Bloo mington for first place out of a field of 24 at the Linton Relays. The squad finished third in the conference behind Colum¬ bus and Southport. Mike Curtis, Marshall Goss and Jim Major won places in the sectional, with Goss going on to qualify for the state meet.

Jacque Eaton, senior class secretary, orders her commencement announcements from Judy Champlin, class treasurer, while J. L. Wolff, class president, and Bill Bishop, vice presi¬ dent, wait to order theirs. Miss Rose and Mr. Bremer, class sponsors, look on to see that everything goes off smoothly. Seniors Realize That the End Is Only the Beginning At last the year we had been waiting for! But we really didn’t feel much different as we again plunged into our school work. Our added responsibili¬ ties and privileges were about the only changes we noticed at first. The first senior item on the agenda for us was senior pictures. Receiving and display¬ ing them around Christmas time made us feel like upperclassmen. Many of us were elected club officers or chosen to work in the offices or for teachers. Later, cap and gown measurements were taken and announcements ordered. Highest hopes for the future were portrayed by our very best efforts on the scholarship tests. On the stylish side, we sported our cream-colored senior cord skirts and trousers to school, ballgames, and other places. A problem that has faced the class is how to give sincere thanks to mem¬ bers of the faculty and the administration without being corny or melodra¬ matic. Perhaps the best sign of gratitude an ex-student can show an old teacher is the making of a success of himself, whether at work or in college. We have a feeling there will be quite a few successful ones from the class of ’55. We have, as the song says, come a long way since we enrolled as green freshies in the fall of 1951, about 220 strong. Now with only 129 of us left, we’re ready to take our places in the adult world. Page Sixty-eight On underclass honor day last spring Bob Brenton was presented the award for outstanding achievement in U. S. History by Ray Scheible, representing the Woodmen of the World. Chosen from the senior class for outstanding citizenship and patriot¬ ism, Carolyn Oldham won the DAR award, entitling her to take a test in government and current affairs to compete for the county prize. Black sweaters and white corduroy trousers and skirts could help any¬ one identify members of the senior class. In March, rehearsals began for the senior class play, “Seven Sisters.” Reading their lines are members of the cast: Back row — Carolyn Old¬ ham, student director; Marilyn Sum¬ mers, Janice Cain, Don Wise, Bill Trowbridge, Donna Williams, Sharon Cain, John Foley, Mrs. Mann; front — Peggy Hicks, Bill Dixon, J.

Wolff Juniors Show Leadership With only one more step to go the juniors have fully accepted their responsibilities this year, proving themselves quite capable of filling the positions of leadership they will have next fall. Choosing and exchanging class rings, and suffer¬ ing before, during, and after the refresher math tests have been a part of their busy school activities. For the first time they were able to display their dra¬ matic abilities in the class play “Inner Willy.” Their diligence and hard work were especially observed in preparing for their first big prom, which will provide them with many happy memories for the years to come. TOP LEFT — Paul Townsend cringes in horror from Linda Lowder as Mary Ellen Moore, Erlene Dunigan and Joan Webel look on in “Inner Willie.” BOTTOM LEFT — Junior class offi¬ cers this year were Joe Coffey, treasurer; Sarah Sheets, sec¬ retary; Judy Guy, vice-president, and Bill Johnson, president. TOP RIGHT — Serving refreshments at the ’54 prom were Eloise Eskew, David Mosier, Sue Burleigh, Marshall Goss, Eliz¬ abeth Bales, Mike Wise, Debra Fair and Joe Coffey.

Page Seventy-nine Sophs Step Up Ladder For the first time the sophomores feel se¬ cure since entering the last four grades, because they now can look down on the lowly freshmen. They still have two more years to go, however, before that fateful year of ’57 rolls around. They contributed many new members to Sunshine and Hi-Y, as this was the first year they were eligible. They saw the way the clubs were run and drank it all in so they can take over in the next two years. Besides contributing two people to the yell¬ ing squad, the sophs also entered into many dif¬ ferent sports. An all-female slate was chosen to lead the sophomores this year: Linda Harvey, president; Sue Schnaiter, secretary; Carol McFarland, vice president, and Barbara Cragen, treasurer.

Frosh Get Much Advice Consulting with their sponsor, Mr. John Carson, on a class problem are the freshman officers: James Abshire, president; Janice Bain, vice-president; Carolyn Dutton, secre¬ tary, and Mary Ann Dickens, treasurer. Subjects, routine, teachers—everything new! Busy schedules were planned under the guidance of Mrs. Madelon Murrell. All the freshmen were enrolled in Social Liv¬ ing to help them in their adjustments to high school and to aid them in vocational planning. A special accelerated English course was provided for students on the academic course. Many got into club activities and several showed promise in athletics.

These seventh and eight graders seem anxious to pay their fees on opening day. Mr. Bowers accepts the money while Mr. Shaw looks on to see that everything runs smoothly. Passing out booklists here, Mrs. Owens and Mr. Elliott served as a reception committee to the eager sevens on the first day of school. They were confused for the first week or two but after that you would have thought that the sevens had been around high school for years. The Junior Tri Hi-Y rendered a valuable service to the teachers by serving cokes and cookies on the last day of the semester when grades had to made out. Here Mr. Randall, Miss Hoeferkamp, and Mr. Barnes seem to be get¬ ting their share of the refresh¬ ments from Judy Unversaw, Alice Fleener, Cathie Coan and Mary Beth Hammon. Eighth graders who made up the junior staff for the “High¬ lights” magazine were Bob Branch, Sharon Platt, Judy Gaumer, Kar¬ en Applegate, Pat Doll, William Krick, Peg Scherer, Marlene Max¬ well and Lorene Tutterow. The eighth grade math and English achievement tests came when virus was on the rampage. These students put the old cafe¬ teria back into use by making up the tests there. If we are to have a good foot¬ ball team in the future we must train them early. Mr. Henry, be¬ fore going into the service, served as junior high football coach and taught the boys the fundamentals. At junior high honor day last spring Mr. Shaw handed out the eighth grade certificates. The poor sevens had to learn two locker combinations this year, but didn’t mind too much because they got the privilege of using the new building during the second semester.
