1963 MARTINSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL MARTINSVILLE, INDIANA II gi . ' feja ' 7 W Student Life... WITHIN THESE WALLS— Representative of the native Martinsville brick, the 50-year-old brick structure on the corner of Main and Garfield still stands for and houses the best in education for its 1,256 Artesians. Many changes have been made internally but the Old Martinsville Brick remains as a safeguard for the traditions and memories of the last half century. The 1963 Artesian captures in picture and type the record of one year to serve as a reminder of many of these happy moments. This record will then become part of a long session of several records highly valued by an ever-growing list of MHS ' s family. CONTENTS Student Life 3 Album 19 Academic 61 Sports 71 Organizations 91 Artesians continually add fuel to the bonfire after their team captured the sectional title for the first time in four years. School spirit reached its peak at sectional time With the winning of the Sectionals came the unleashed enthusiasm of the MHS student body. The final gun set off a mass rush of MHS fans onto the floor. Immediately after the cut- ting of the nets, the traditional bonfire was ignited on the baseball field. With a whooping and hollering, students piled more and more material on the increasing flames. Tires, saw horses, miscellaneous lumber, and even a chicken coop were thrown into the victory fire by enthusiastic supporters. ' School spirit was greatly increased this year because of the efforts of Student Council, each of the four classes, and faculty members. Stu- dent Council provided Artesian pins for MHSers at a price below cost. The Council also displayed several morale-increasing posters. Each of the four classes posted their own sup- port for the hoopsters. Red suspenders were worn by several students to indicate that they were supporting their team. Individuals wore sandwich signs to their classes on the Friday before the Regionals. Pep Club illustrated the students ' interest and support, for it was the largest of all school clubs, having 221 members. The Arlesians backed their members and teams (athletic, musical, and scholastic) throughout the entire school year. As hundreds of fans watch proudly from the floor, Steve Sadler, star center of the sectional team, helps cut down the nets after MHS won the tourney. Some days called for a different kind of dress The variety of student attire was regular- ly increased by the student participation in Tramp Day and by the donning of costumes by the cast of the various school plays. Annually a great part of the student body dresses as tramps and Raggedy Anns. The school was invaded by the tramps who had se- cured everything from broken-down hats to burlap sacks for parts of their outfits. And all of the fun was not the students ' for members of the faculty also participated in this Hallow- een celebration. When the day of a class play arrived, mem- bers of the cast were seen bustling around school wearing a great amount of make-up and often donning out-of-date costumes. Members of the cast had to stay in their make-up for two school performances, since the student body is too large for only one. During then ' lunch hour between presenta- tions, the actors and actresses were stared at, questioned, and complimented on their parts in the play. All members enjoyed their work, and were proud of the sweat upon their brows. A few students participating in Tramp Day sit in front of tlie school trying to determine who is blessed with the greatest poverty. Choir members don strange dress when they portray various foreigners in Amahl. D. Brackemyre, A. Darr, C. Bidwell, D. Johnston, and D. Champlin attended Boys ' State this year. Local service organizations sponsored five girls to Girls ' State: L. Kirk, N. Ewing, S. Hinson, J. Corder, and C. Cline. MHS students were rewarded for their hard work Many MHS students worked diligently to- ward high goals to achieve scholastic honors. For several, the fruit of their labor was the honor of attending Boys ' State or Girls ' State. While attending these institutes the students did and learned much: they even held mock elections with offices as high as governor of the State. The freshmen were rewarded for their superior work with medals and recogni- tion from the National Honor Society. Each in- dividual earned his honors, and was com pelled to work even harder because of it. Sandy Hinson, this year ' s DAR award win- ner, competed with other Morgan County school winners. She was the selected recipient of the county DAR Good Citizen award. There was always stiff competition in the school ' s queen contests. It is a cherished honor to be chosen the one who reigns. The candi- dates were judged and elected for their per- sonality and achievements as well as their beauty. Occasionally a Miss and Mister or Aunt and Uncle were ci ' owned at a dance. Sandy Hinson is presented with the DAR award by Mrs. Helen Davis, dean of girls. .m- r- The recipients of the NHS scholarship awards were V. Lind, J. Etchison, D. Pitkin, and P. Harris.

Jinda Marple, Dave McFailand, and Pam Allen prepare for the Pressman ' s Hop by making posters and cutting out decorations. School organizations and clubs sponsor sev- eral dances each school year. These dances vary in formality of dress and in theme. The decorations are usually elaborate and exten- sive, and fully conveyed the theme planned. The theme of the Christmas Dance was Kandy Kane Lane, and was sponsored by the GAA. Etta Hicks and Maurice Bales reigned as Miss Merry Christmas and Mr. Santa Claus. The Valentine Dance was sponsored by both the Sunshine Society and Hi-Y. The informal Pressman ' s Hop was under the sponsorship of the school ' s publication staffs. The Junior-Senior Prom is eagerly awaited each year. The juniors put much time and work into the decorations and preparations of the Prom. Everything had to be just so-so, for this was THE dance. The students had fun at their dances, and also enjoyed preparing for them. Various bands, local and otherwise, were scheduled for the dances. Etta Hicks and Maurice Bales, Miss Merry Christnsas and .Mr. Santa Claus, are presented gifts from the newspaper and yearbook staffs. Catherine Hacker crowns Mickey Eubank and Gary Carrell, juniors, at the Valentine Dance. One of the students ' main social activities is the in- formal mixers which are held after most home foot- ball and basketball games. As the two senior intramural teams clash, Dave Brack- eniyre gets off a jump shot. Students enjoyed many extra-curricular activities students participated in many school ac- tivities aside from their daily classes. There was always good participation at the school mixers after home football or basket- ball games. The students met at the mixer af- ter games and had good times. They were al- ways joyful; maybe a little more so after some games than others. All mixers were well cha- peroned and conducted. Wednesday nights were the nights the in- tramural basketball players looked forward to for plenty of vigorous exercise and whole- some recreation. Win or lose, everyone was as- sured a good time. The boys were given the op- portunity to improve their playing while de- veloping better sportsmanship. The students were also greatly interested in the Fall Foliage Festival, for at that time the Homecoming Queen, Diane Hillman, was crowned; and several MHS ' ers were either in the parade or helped prepare for it. Extra-curricular activities of the high school students were many and varied. Homecoming Queen Diane Hillman receives a com- memorative charm bracelet from senior class vice- president, Jim McLary. MHS students were very active and interest- ed in their plays. The Junior Class, Senior Class, and Dramatics Club each presented a play during the school year, and the student interest was great enough to fill most of the auditorium seats each performance. Dramatics Club presented three short plays this year. The fine quality of the acting showed the club ' s value and its members ' enthusiasm and interest. The class of ' 63 presented You, the Jury in their junior year. The play was unique in the fact that it created audience participation by allowing them to give the final verdict. The cast was prepared to end the play in the man- ner of the guilty or not guilty verdict. This years the seniors presented Gramercy Ghost. The lighting and props brought out the full effects of this play, especially the entrance of the Gramercy ghost. Despite their homework and other school ac- tivities, these budding Thespians managed to squeeze in enough play practice to produce wonderful performances. Judy Canary volunteers to show the effects of the Van tie Graaf generator. hair-raising Students were entertained throughout the year with Alan Darr startles Nina Evving with his sudden en- trance in the Senior Class play Gramercy Ghost. Jim Foley, Janice Allen, and Carol Canatsey partici- pate in their Junior Class play. Here Aunt Jemima, the pancake lady, sings one of the old favorites with the help of her accompanist. Among the many fine programs given this year was this fiery speech on Veterans Day about Communism and freedoms given by Lt.-Col. Albert Allen. a variety of plays, shows, and convocations Polly Tate, Phil Cox, Jim Wilson, and Lynn Murrell rehearse for one of the three one-act plays the Dramatics Club presented to the student body. Preparing to serve prom goers, members of the sophmore class, Anita Sadler, Gary Carrell, and others are dressed in keeping with the Southern theme. Students aided MHS daily, on special occasions John Steinway, Ron Sunimerlot, and Morris Christie are checking the printing of the Artesian Herald. Students served the school in many ways throughout the school year. Some helped in the office, some in the li- brary, and others in gym classes. There were those who collected attendance slips, and those who worked in the bookstore. Many helped in other ways not often thought about. There are the boys who help print the Artesian Herald, and those who help fold them. Clubs, as units, sponsor mixers and dances. Some school organizations had projects which benefited the school and clubs directly. There were those who helped decorate for dances; and those who served at such activities by preparing and serving refreshments, check- ing coats, and collecting tickets. These services enabled the school to func- tion more smoothly. Students tended helping hands at social gatherings or occasions to make everything go off like clockwork. Each received a deep satisfaction from helping out and get- ting a thing done properly. There is pleasure in working with one ' s classmates. These services made everyone ' s school life easier, and added little extras that let all ease through the day. First days to last, students were continually busy The first day of school was just hurry, hurry, hurry for the students, especially the freshmen. Check your schedule, meet your teachers, get your locker, buy your books, and hurry. Don ' t miss the bus! Don ' t forget your locker combination! The first day is full of invigorat- ing, awakening action. Then the first week passes. The second is a little less novel. The stu- dents dig in and do some serious studying. Open house is here before you know it. If you worked hard, your parents will be satis- fied with your work and progress. If not, then you are now inspired to do better. At the end of the year, the students attend- ed their Honor Day. If a student had worked extra hard and had done well, he may even share in the honors. One of the Honor Day ceremonies is the ex- change of the class keys. Each year the class keys are presented to the Junior Class presi- dent by the president of the Senior Class. Each class adds a ribbon to the key, which has been handed down for many years. On the night of open house during the first semester, the lights of the school present a rare sight. Gathering around tables in the girl ' s gym, students prepare to buy books on the first day of school. Jim Branham, ' 62 class president, turns class key and traditions over to junior class president, Dave Brack- emyre at class dav ceremonies. Most days, students students arrive at school at the break of dawn even during the most frigid weather. As the school year advanced, the days began to follow a set pattern. Even play performance days followed a certain order. The students anxiously awaited the time when they were let out of class to see the play. Pay a small admission fee? Sure will! The ones who saw it in the morning said it was really good. Each day there was a great hustle and bustle of students going to and from their lockers. Click out the combination, grab the right books, and bang! — make sure it ' s locked. Better hurry to class; don ' t want to be late. And finally, after a seemingly longer morn- ing each day, the bell rings for the beginning of your lunch hour. The bell is the starting gun for the race to the cafeteria. The students caught in the slower-moving traffic give up and think. Why hurry? I don ' t have anything to do anyway. The lockers receive plenty of wear by students ex- changing their books between class periods. The quality of the lunches which the cafeteria serves is shown by the vigor of the students. :ould be found performing usual school activities The participation in the class elections is usually great, and the candidates are very ca- pable. There was strong competition in each class for every office. The Senior Class elections were the most vigorous and demanding, for the seniors held extensive elections. They sat in homeroom groups in the boys ' gym to cast their votes. This election went hand-in-hand with the gov- ernment classes in preparing students for in- telligent voting. Among the noon hour activities of many was the playing of ping-pong in the girls ' gym. Several players were always in line waiting for their turns to play. Most of them were there about every day. The juke-box was avail- able at anytime during noon hour; and as soon as one record would end, another would begin. If a student wished to study, he could go to the library during lunch hour. If not, he could go outside and enjoy the company of his friends. Pat Brown is one of the student assistants who helps to check-in students who were absent. Convention chairman Ralph Pickard speaks to the S enior Class at the class convention. At the end of the school day, students joyfully pile into their cars in the parking lot. Both publications, under the guidance of Mr. Robert Rhude, advisor, served to l eep the student body informed through bi-weekly hap- penings and to provide a permanent record of the year ' s events. This year ' s Artesian was headed for the first time by co-editors. Section editors were also added involving a larger staff than ever before. The yearbook was increased by 12 pages and was enclosed, for the first time in many years, by an original cover. The Artesian business staff, aside from its many other duties, sponsored a drawing in The editorial staff headed by Dick Champlin, Steve Martin, and Kenny Ciilp work many hours to prepare the Artesian for distribution to the students. Yearbook staff recorded highlights of the yeai Phil Powell and Denis Graham count and record the money received from yearbook sales. Members of the yearbook editorial staff perform many tasks during the school year. which a free yearbook was awarded. Winner this year was Don Rodgers, sophomore. The Artesian Herald published 18 issues, each containing news, sports, and many fea- tures to interest the most possible students. This year ' s staff consisted of more underclass- men than in previous years. The business staff picked up several new ad- vertisers this year, and kept the publication in the black. They also sponsored the Pressman ' s Hop. This year ' s hop had the theme Paper- Mate Capers, and continued to be one of the most popular dances of the year. The heads of this year ' s Artesian Herald are Wayne Staggs, Mark Kendall, and Beverly Pfaff. aper staff provided school with bi-weekly news Newspaper staff leaders write and type copy, prepare make-up sheets, and manage advertise- ments. Albu m WITHIN THESE WALLS students and teachers worked as a team, to provide a sound basis for both educational and social activities.

They had many problems to cope with, but perhaps the two greatest were the quantity of food to prepare, and appealing to the varied tastes of the 750-950 people eating in the cafe- teria each day. The custodians, too, had problems to contend with. This winter was one of the coldest in his- tory, the mercury dipping below zero on many occasions. This condition made the job of keep- ing the school warm much harder than usual. Still, they completed this job and others quick- ly and efficiently. E. McCulIough, J. Truax, E. Warner, H.

One of many seniors receiving precollege counseling from Mr. Robert Speelman is Wayne Cramer. Seniors work diligently to earn their diplomas In this, the last year for the class of ' 63, the seniors left an imprint in the halls that will not soon be forgotten. The list of accomplishments of this year ' s seniors is unending. At the beginning of the year, the class went to the gym to elect the of- ficers that would lead them through the year. Seniors held high offices in the clubs at MHS and showed their abilities by passing on to the underclassmen things that must not be forgot- ten. Although they took an interest in their x n armed forces panel, consisting of officers from the National Guard, Navy, Army, and Marines, discuss school, they were constantly reminded that the days at high school were fast coming to end. The faculty helped the seniors by preparing them for life after graduation. They could get counseling on jobs, or help on preparing for college. A panel of men from various branches of the Armed Forces talked to the senior boys about a career in the defense of our country. When the class of ' 63 graduates, they will not feel like they are being shoved out. They know that they must go on to something else. As far as MHS goes, the seniors can look back on a job well done. military obligations with the senior boys. JAMES ADKINS — Acadciiiic . . .

Junior officers Donna Johnson, treasurer, Jane Leon- ard, secretary, Dick Parks, vice-president, and Barry Kennedy, president, consult Mrs. Crawford about the prom. Juniors receive rings in late fall. Juniors accepted responsibilities; planned prom Next school year ' s upperclassmen have been learning and preparing for their final year in high school. Many have been planning for a few additional years — in college. The juniors ' courses have constantly led them to a more mature understanding of them- selves, and have trained the students to seek the answer to why instead of who, where, and when. Excitement, and often hysteria, was display- ed by the juniors when they received their class rings. The prom was also anxiously await- ed. Most of all, the juniors anticipate Honor Day when they will be able to call themselves SENIORS, and only one more year to go! The juniors actively participated in all clubs, and derived much pleasure from this work and comradeship. Through their many activities the juniors showed their ability to become leaders, and donned the garments of individualism. Row 1: Michael Adam.s Linda Albertson Jacquie Alexander Linda Allen Pam .

' sophs are required to take Sophomores acquired places in clubs and sports During their second year at MHS, the so- phomore class eagerly participated in the many activities offered them. Aside from the regular work expected of most high school students, many of the sophomores became members of clubs. This being the first year they were al- lowed to join many of the organizations, the class of ' 65 energetically took an active part in all the clubs ' projects. The boys found sports rewarding in many ways. In the meantime the girls followed the wins and losses of the team, screaming as loudly as possible for more points. Although there were seemingly insurmount- able problems for all, the year was finally over. Next year they ' ll be juniors.

Korte and Joe Hopper tack a Frosh acquaint themselves with rules, traditions This year ' s freshmen, as in preceding years, had to make many adjustments to high school life. At the beginning of the year many frosh- ies could be seen roaming the halls, like lost sheep, hunting this room or that. But they soon adjusted to the new building, only occasionally walking up or down the wrong side of the stairs. The freshmen also had to adjust to new rules governing the larger populace of the high school. Because of crowded conditions, many fresh- men had study halls in the auditorium. This ar- rangement was changed soon after the start- ing of the second semester, when the junior high students moved to a new location. The class of ' 66 brought with them the larg- est number of students in MHS history to date — 405 strong. They participated in the many athletic programs and social affairs of the year. Because of their numbers, freshmen were not permitted to join any clubs, except GAA, Pep Club, and FFA. These freshmen added to the academic status of the school, and by the end of the year each of them had found his or her place in high school life.

Twelve different departments offered a total of more than sixty courses designed to increase both mental and physical dexterity. Throughout the year students strived to obtain credits in the curriculum of their choice. English classes gave students a working knowledge A very important subject included in almost every student ' s schedule was English. The seniors were mainly concerned with composition and the study of drama and poetry. During the first semester they read the play Macbeth from Shakespeare, and three modern plays including Pygmalion. Second semester they wrote a research paper on an important literary aspect and read the novels Tale of Two Cities and Return of the Na- tive. Since this was the last year of English for some of the juniors, there was an emphasis put on the study of grammar, for it is some- thing they will always need. Juniors also stud- ied speech and literature, and read the novels Huckleberry Finn and The Scarlet Letter. American literature was their greatest interest. They read pieces written by such American au- thors as William Faulkner, John Stienbeck, Ernest Hemingway and others. Sophomore English classes studied Julius Caesar and Silas Marner. After the reading Sarah Hiatt and Susan Cramer exhibit a model of a Roman house which was their project for the first semester study of Julius Caesar. The English classes of Mr. Harold Rogers are active in their parliamentary proce- dure sessions. of their language; speech taught how to use it of Julius Caesar they made quite a few ar- chitectural projects of buildings of that era. Their studies also included giving speeches and book reports and a very thorough study of parliamentary procedure. The freshman classes read and studied one of the great novels written by Charles Dick- ens, Great Expectations. They were mainly concerned with building their vocabulary and developing their reading comprehension and rate. Students wishing to learn to express them- selves orally and to speak to groups more free- ly were given the opportunity to take speech. They spent the year giving different types of speeches, reading poetry and studying such things as parliamentary procedure. Journalism was available to students want- ing to learn about editing papers and about creative writing. These students were allowed to write items for the school paper. They were also given the chance to write articles which they tride to sell different magazines. In a speech class demonstration Loraine Green tends to the wounds of Phil Powell. In senior English classes stu- dents are required to give a speech on some phase of the play Macbeth. Raymond Raemaekers points to a section of a Spanish newspaper which he, Julie Gunn, Karl Dorff, and Barry Kennedy are studying. Foreign languages taught culture of the countries More students than ever took a foreign lan- guage this year. While Latin helps to build English vocabulary, Spanish is the language of our southern neighbors. The first year Latin students learned the basic conjugations and vocabulary. They trans- lated the adventures of Aeneas and Ulysses. The two second-year classes had projects about Julius Caesar the second semester. They also studied Roman customs, history, and re- ligion. There were translations from Livy and the Argonautic expedition. Aside from much conservational practice and grammar, the first year Spanish classes had many chances to study Spanish maga- zines and newspapers. In the second year there was a review of grammar and composition, and stories by Span- ish authors. Through the laboratory tapes thev studied different Spanish accents from dif- ferent parts of the world. Periodically they gave reports in Spanish, one of which was the presentation of Spanish foods. During the third year there were extensive oral work and conversation carried on. Oral reports were given in Spanish and the third vear group read important works of Spanish literature. Whether one was in Latin or Spanish, every- one in the foreign languages department was kept busy. Latin students conjugate verbs, decline nouns, write phrases, and completely translate Latin sentences into English sentences. PAGE 64 Dick Parks and Bruce Park are working on their papier-mache creation in art class. Students showed creativeness and talent in art Bob Warthen, Jeff Jones, and Roger Laymon work on various wire-bending projects in their art class. The main purpose of the art department is to teach the exploration of color, line, texture, drawing, and composition to the students. A large variety of materials are used in the many projects the art students undertake. Some of the more unusual of these materials are wire, wood, plaster, and clay. Such a variety of materials give each individual a chance to use his imagination to create many different projects. Many projects are done each year in this de- partment. In the first year of art, the students study elementary perspective, figure drawing, water color, crayon composition, applied de- sign, crafts, color theory, and still life. In the second year, water color, composition of local scenes, figure drawing from a model, and com- mercial design are studied. In both the third and fourth years each student specializes in the field of his own interest. Most of the time, the class period is spent in doing various types of exploratory work such as these already mentioned. Some of the time in class, however, is spent in studying the his- tory of art, architecture, and famous painters. the art courses offered in our school pre- pare the students for work and further study in many different fields of art.

Pat Fleener and Giiinn Wells are examining the graph of two intersecting linear equations during their ad- vanced algebra class. :ill mathematical needs in the variety of courses For the second year, freshmen who had tak- en first year algebra in the eight grade were al- lowed to take advanced algebra. In this way those students who wished to take five years of math could take them without having to take two math courses in the same year. The courses offered in math at MHS include general math, algebra, advanced algebra, plane geometry, solid geometry, trigonometry, and senior math. The one class in senior math studied analyti- cal geometry, calculus, and statistics this year. This course helped a great deal those students planning to go to college and those interested in math. The algebra students studied imagin- ary and real numbers, positive and negative numbers, graphs, equations, factoring, and square roots. Also, they were taught the use of the slide rule, a great aid in multiplication and division. The students in plane geometry, the study of plane figures, studied construc- tions and lines of geometrical construction. In trigonometry the students studied the ratios between the sides of a right triangle. Linda Kirk explains one of the many problems deal- ing with functions studied in trigonometry class. r Beginning typing students constantly endeavor to in- crease their rates and decrease their errors. Beverly Pfaff and Harolda Cragen take dictation in shorthand from a tape recorder. New dictation records for shorthand students Home economists learn how to serve food as well as prepare it. Members of Mrs. Luker ' s second-year food class shown are Carol Fendley, Gloria Stewart, Betty Hamilton, Connie Holden, and Lana Haase. students ill Mr. Eugene Jones ' consumer economics class learn how to fill out income tax blanks. added to the capability of the business department Connie Asher, Sandy Fogleman, and Larry Maxwell use business machines in their bookkeeping class. There are two aims of the business depart- ment in MHS. The first of these is to prepare students to take jobs in the business field soon after graduation from high school. The other aim of this department is to provide education to help students in personal business and eco- nomic activities. Both general business and consumer economics deal with problems that are met in the adult life of almost every Ameri- can. The courses offered by the business depart- ment are typing, bookkeeping, shorthand, gen- eral business, consumer economics, business mathematics, and business English. By choos- ing from these courses, students can have a well rounded business program that will pre- pare them for office jobs such as stenogra- phers, file clerks, junior secretaries, business machine operators, record keepers, and other similar vocations. The business department is constantly grow- ing. This was shown by the fact that they were continually adding new equipment to work with. This year they purchased new short- hand records to aid the students in practicing their shorthand. Next year there will be an en- tire new room of typewriters in order that more students will be able to take this course. PAGE 69 One of the activities which makes the study of U.S. history more interesting to students is the showing of various movies of historic importance. Social studies gave students chance to see the Social studies played an important part in each curriculum at MHS. Many students took advantage of the elective courses such as Latin America, Far East, and world history, geog- raphy, and psychology, while United States history, government, and economics were re- quired. The seniors were kept busy in their govern- ment classes doing such things as outlining the United States Constitution and studying the work of the government in general. A new sub- ject offered this year for seniors, replacing so- cial problems, was economics. This course dealt with the study of the United States ' econ- omy. Near the beginning of February the gov- ernment classes were given the opportunity to visit and observe a meeting of the Indiana State Legislature. Juniors in Mrs. Bailey ' s United States his- tory classes did such things as draw maps, write essays, and study the War Between the States. In psychology classes, students ' studies were made more interesting by taking several field trips to places such as the municipal court and the School of Hope. They had various mental exercises and tests while studying human be- havior. The geography classes studied maps and discussed current events. Latin American history students are concerned with the study of maps. «• ' . % Senior students visit the state legislature at the capital building as a government class trip. jimilarity of yesterday ' s history and today ' s events Polly Tate brushes up on her current events by examining the poster in her government class.

MHS science department enabled students to put Steve Sadler and Joe Thomas perform an experiment and record their results in physics class. Katliy Tcelcrs and Jackie Brown eagerly perform microscope study during their biology class. lassroom principles to the test in the laboratory This year the science department was a very vital part of MHS. It provided a basis for fur- ther learning by teaching the fundamentals of several different sciences. Those ninth graders who were not planning to take biology in their sophomore year took general science. In this class they had a gener- al coverage of earth science, electricity, and weather. Biology was taken by many of the sophomor- es and a few freshmen who had special permis- sion to do so. They studied the different forms of plant and animal life, heredity, and conser- vation of natural resuorces. Dissection took up the majority of the laboratory time, but there were also lab days of just observing through the use of a microscope. Chemistry was offered to the upperclassmen. This year the class time was divided so that there were three days of regular class periods and two days of laboratory work. Composition of matter and physical, chemical, and nuclear changes were studied. MHS had two physics classes this year. Here seniors studied mechanics, heat, light, sound, and electricity. Physics taught students the re- lationship between science and math.

Agriculture, shop gave boys practical experience Steve Sadler is working on a scale model of the club financed refreshment stand the woodshop boys are to construct. The vocational agriculture classes, taught by Mr. Virgil Telfer, operated between 6 and 15 acres of land which was leased from the school board. These boys planned and carried out all cropping activities. The proceeds from the farm products were used to buy new farm shop equipment. Mr. John Mann ' s mechanical drafting classes drew up the plans and built a scale model of the new refreshment stand. These classes also built two model homes to scale. Under the supervision of Mr. Gerald Stu- peck, the woodworking classes built the entire refreshment stand near the football field. The advanced machine shop boys, all seniors, built a 1901 Oldsmobile to % scale. The wood- working classes built the wooden body for the car. Drivers education students receive instructions from Mr. Jack Nasli wliile practicing parking. The freshmen and sophomores at MHS spent several hours m gym class each week. This pro- gram was planned to contribute to the physical, emotional, and mental development of the in- dividual. Activities such as speedball, volleyball, bas- ketball, tumbling, badminton, baseball, and track were taught. All of these activities con- tributed to building our character and physical growth. The students learned by doing, and acquired new skills in a wide variety of inter- esting activities. Each class started with calis- thenics and the rest of the class period Vv ' as spent in various activities. Again this year the freshmen gym classes took a bus to the Skyline Bowling Alley, and were taught the fundamentals of bowling by Phil and Lee Carter.

Mar- tinsville ' s football team for the first time was victorious over Columbus and Jeffersonville. Co-captains Bill Lester and Steve Sadler led the team with their inspiration and hard work. Twelve seniors left big holes for Coach Robert Speelman to fill next year. Wayne Cramer led the team in rushing, and Fred Townsend was the leading defender with 117 tackles.

The freshman team, under mentor Mr. Thomas Gable, went great guns the first of the season and many boys showed fine prom- ise.

Coach Lee Perry ' s Artesians entered the sectional play with a 12-8 season record, iden- tical with that of last year. The winning of the Sectional marked the first time in four years that Martinsville had won a Sectional tourney. The Artesians were sidelined by Bloomfield in the afternoon game of the Regional. The Artesians had their ups and downs this season, losing to teams such as Mooresville and Brazil but yet defeating Southport and highly regarded Vincennes. This year was the first time Martinsville played Vincennes while Ellettsville was dropped from the schedule. Perhaps the greatest team effort of the year came at Jeffersonville. Here the Martinsville quintet lost in a thrilling double-overtime. In place of the usual Columbus holiday tour- ney, the Artesians traveled to Lafayette where they participated in a tourney with Tipton, Crawfordsville, and Jeff of Lafayette.

J-V ' s fine record, 16-3, credited to team effort The reserve basketball team compiled a fine record this season by winning 16 games and losing only four. For the fourth straight year the J-V ' s improved the record of the preceding year. This was Coach Tom Gable ' s third year with the reserves. His record now stands at 35-24. The team began the year very well as they won their first six games. The first defeat of the season was a flogging at the hands of a very tough Columbus team. At the Franklin Holiday tourney the re- serves were beaten by Columbus by only nine points. They defeated Seymour in the consola- tion game. The reserves ' fine record for the ' 62- ' 63 sea- son was credited to the team effort of all the players.

Thre different teams were scheduled for the first time: Perry East, Perry Central, and Co- lumbus North. The competition was stronger this year, but the young Artesians practiced diligently and played earnestly to meet this competition. Columbus North squeaked past the Artes- ians by one point; Perry East and Perry Cen- tral also won. MHS ' s freshmen were defeated in the tour- nament at Greencastle by Greencastle, but they avenged themselves by defeating Brazil in the consolation game. Rick Eddelman, beginning the season on the freshman starting five, was advanced to the reserve team during the season. Bottom Row: Coach Jack Nash, B. Smith (manager) S. Dickinson, F. .Stone, R.

Coach John Mann lost eight lettermen via the cap and gown, and had only four monogrammers to start his 1962-63 season. Playing many times in adverse weather con- ditions, the Artesians placed third in the South Central Conference. In fact their only two loss- es of the campaign were to SCC champion Franklin and runner-up Southport. Two games, Jeffersonville and Greencastle, were called be- cause of rain. One of the outstanding wins was a free-swinging 13-12 overtime victory over Crispus Attucks. Boys who traded their gloves for a diploma last spring were Dick Elmore, Jack Leonard, Jim Brunnemer, Bob Riffel, Denny Lind, Jim Branham, Jim Waltz, and Don Burleigh. Re- turning for the batsmen were Doug Bass, who has been playing varsity since his freshman year, Kenny Wayman, who plays outfield and pitches for Mann ' s Dubbs , Joe Thomas, first baseman, and Bill Tutterow, who started around the horn as a freshman last year.

Coach Kenny Barnes marked another very suc- cessful cross country record down in the books again last fall. The Barnesmen turned in an un- beaten record of seven wins and one tie, the latter coming from the Univees of Blooming- ton. However our ground-pounders ' honor was avenged one week later when Barnes ' s harriers trounced them in a triangular meet hosting Seymour, also. The Barnesmen did a fine job in the Section- al at Terre Haute and at the South Central Conference meet at Seymour. This fall Mr. Barnes will be without three seniors: Tom Vandenbark, Larry Maxwell, and Alan Darr.

The linksters, coached by Mr. Henry Pearcy, won only one match in nine encounters, but look forward to a more prosperous season next fall. The returning lettermen, John Hartman and Rick Hovious, will form the nucleus for any possible threat in the next campaign. The Arthur Brill-coached racqueteers were handed eight reverses in their many tennis bouts as three important players exited by the cap and gown. Mark Kendall, a mainstay for the past few years, and Jim McLary carried the burden this spring with three others adding the needed backing.

Yell-leaders raised school spirit of student body The cheerleaders worked very hard along with their sponsor, Mrs. Betty Scherer, to lead yells and help increase school spirit at the foot- Ijall and basketball games. The varsity cheerleaders attended the cheer- leading clinic at Indiana University again this year to learn new yells and get new ideas for old ones. Each squad practiced every evening after pep club in preparing for the games. The re- serve and freshman cheerleaders led yells at home games only. Working along with the cheerleaders the pep club demonstrated outstanding school spirit whether we won or lost .There were 221 mem- bers, making this year ' s pep club one of the largest ever at MHS. The pep club also travel- ed to many of the away games to boost their team. The cheerleaders and pep club are an asset to the teams. Four memt)ers of this year ' s varsity squad will be graduating. They are: Linda Kirk, Cathy Hacker, Etta Hicks, and Mary Durrett, but they will be remembered for their outstanding spirit and service.

Many a weary band member could be seen at the end of the marching season as they headed to the bandroom to start practicing for the concert season coming up. Our band put in an excellent showing dur- ing this marching year. They did such shows as: The Unteachables , Cupid Capers , De- signs for Marching , Step along with Sousa , and many more entertaining skits. The band marched in the Fall Foliage Festi- val also and put in a good showing there. This year the band consisted of 79 members and every one of them worked hard to improve the band over last year. They formed a Band Council which had two representatives from each class. The chairman of the council was Judy Corder with Karen Hawkins as secretary. Five majorettes headed our band during marching season with Karen Hawkins acting as head majorette. Milton Stewart Jr. was head drum major and Ron Taylor was his assistant. The Pep Band played at the basketball games and the Stage Band played at various dances given throughout the year. These were two of many small branches of the band. The concert band presented some concerts and was praised highly by all attending them. With the close of the 1962-63 school year came anothei ' outstanding record of success for the MHS orchestra. Performing at three concerts during the year, the group still found time to take part in many other activities. Forty-three members took solos and ensem- bles to the district contest at Indiana Central College. Forty-four won first place ratings and were entitlecl to compete with the best high school musicians in Indiana at the state contest held at Butler University. Here, the string- sters came through the stern test with a re- markable performance including twelve first division placings and one second division rating. Many small ensembles took an increasingly active part in community affairs by playing for banquets, parties, dinners, and teas throughout the year. The reputation of this busy group is growing rapidly among music circles, and though it takes a good deal of time, the members find it worthwhile. Their efforts were rewarded when, in the spring, they were invited to perform at Bowling Green University in Bowling Green, Ohio.

Headed by Ralph Pickard and sponsored by Miss Georgann Shufflebarger and Mrs. Anne Keston, the group enjoyed a successful year. The club entertained both students and faculty with three one-act plays. One was a mystery, The Night at the Inn, in which the cast consisted of all boys.

They also had a training program in which every member who wished to do so gave small programs to the group to better his abilities in the acting field. Each member was allowed to give constructive criticism. One of three money making projects was pro- viding workers for concessions from which the club received a percentage. The money they re- ceived was put to use in buying make-up for the various plays and in purchasing needed supplies for other club activities. Fleener, W. Drake, J. Baker, C. Canatsey, H. Hall, B.

GAA taught sportsmanship and built fit bodies One of the best achievements of the GAA was the Christmas Dance sponsored each year by th e girls. The girls worked hard to give this dance, Kandy Kane Lane , which proved to be a big success. Many decorations such as pep- permint sticks and candy canes were used to carry out the dance theme. The GAA also attended many activities in other places. The officers attended a clinic where they learned how to best serve their club. Many play days were attended through- out the year by girls wishing to compete with others from surrounding schools. Even though the girls were busy with their activities, they also had to keep money in the treasury. They had a slave day in which each girl worked at a job and gave half of the mon- ey she earned to the club treasury. At the end of the year the girls who earned 350 points and passed ten tests were awarded a state plaque. Other awards given were school letters and class numerals. A chevron was given for each year of service to the club. These awards were presented at the awards banquet. Bottom Row: S. Thacker. S. Ritter, E. Hicks (president), C. Hacker, G. Quakenbush, C.

As always, the Council was trying to better itself by improving the members. This year the president was sent to the I.U. Student Council Workshop. In addition to this, the officers and five other members were sponsored to the State Student Council Convention. They also ]k paid the registration fees for Jim Foley and David Brackemyre for the Governor ' s Youth Advisory Council. Among the services to the school was the providing of coke machines and mixers after home games, and conducting the football Homecoming ceremony. A plan for a concession stand was presented to the Council during first semester. A motion was made and passed to pay half the cost of the building which will be located between the gymnasium and the football field. The club showed it was also a service to the community by donating $100 to the Morgan County Y.M.C.A. Another project was the brainstorming ses- sions in which the members got into small groups and suggested ways which the Council could improve the school. In this way and many others Student Council was always striving to help others. While attending the sixty-fifth State Superintendent ' s Convention, two participants are shown the school by Student Council member James McLary. Morris Christie and Ronnie Owens won second place honors in the NHS Talent Show with their guitar- comedy act. High qualities of scholarship, service, char- acter and leadership enable a student to be- come a member of the exclusive National Hon- or Society. The most select group at MHS, the club ' s membership includes only 15 per cent of the senior class, 5 per cent of the junior class, and 2 per cent of the sophomore class. At the formal initiation in the spring, the juniors and seniors who applied for member- ship and met the requirements were inducted into the club and wore their NHS pins proudly. The sophomores, who didn ' t apply but were selected by the faculty, were especially sur- prised and proud as they received their pins. As their project, the club decided to sponsor a talent show again this year. Students from all classes were invited to enter the program, but the production was seen only by juniors and seniors because of lack of space. The NHS ' ers found talent abundant at MHS, and the affair was hailed as a successful and entertaining pro- ject.

Sunshine and Sunray girls accomplished man) Sunshine girls were seen this year doing everything from selling Christmas cards as a money making project to selling concessions at the MHS new concession stand which they and Student Council donated to the school. One Sunshine member gained a great satis- faction in selling over $120 worth of Christmas cards. Sunshine girls also made their yearly con- tribution to the Riley fund.

Gifts also were donated for the Mental Health Drive and favors were made for the hospital trays. With the leadership of the president, Janet Lesser, and the aid of the club sponsor, Mrs. Madelon Murrell, the club also took part in other charity programs. Sunrays acted as a chairman group for the Heart Fund Drive, and were assisted by the HI-Y club i n canvassing the residential area. The club was honored by several guest speak- ers this year. A member of the MHS faculty, Miss Georgann Shufflebarger, gave a book review of Miracle on 34th Street. Mr. Carl Fant, director of the Martinsville YMCA, talk- ed to the club about the purpose of the Y . This year for the first time the club consist- ed wholly of new members. All these were sophomore girls who were interested in making their school and community a better and more desirable place to live. The club had no money- making projects, obtaining all their funds from dues and from participation in the selling of concessions. Bottom Row: L. Murrell, T. Rendleman, D. Wood, S. Pontius, M.

Hi-Y Club, whose purpose is to create, maintain, and extend . . . liigh standards of Christian character, had several projects which the members carried out successfully during the year. Hi-Y volunteered work for the YMCA build- ing, and also donated several hundred dollars for the financial aid of the project. At Christmas time Hi-Y presented food and clothing to one of Martinsville ' s needy famil- ies. All members worked on this project as they did on each of the others. Annually Hi-Y helps with the Heart Fund drive on Heart Sunday, and this year the club made no change. There was an extremely good turnout of Hi-Y members for this project.

Under the guidance of Mr. Robert Speel- man, sponsor, and Steve Sadler, president, the club again held the annual Harvest Dance. In keeping with the season, the decorations con- sisted of pumpkins and shocks of corn. This year Mrs. Robert Gurchiek acted as disc jock- ey. Around Christmas time members of Letter- men ' s brought in various articles of food to prepare a basket for a needy family. The club ' s principal concern was the ath- letic department. They purchased a water sprayer for use in the different sports and do- nated other articles when the need arose. During the year the club tried to set up the financing for a program for sports events, such as the programs at other SCC schools. The idea is still under consideration. At the conclusion of the year Lettermen ' s Club had a party for all its members.

Members of the choirs practiced hard to prepan Amahl and the Night Visitors was one of the presentations of the MHS Concert Choir headed by Mr. Bill Diekhoff, director. The training choirs presented a Christmas concert jointly with the band. These are only two examples of the many hours of entertainment the choirs have given the people around Martinsville. The Concert Choir contained 55 hard-work- ing members this year. There were many hours spent after school at practice but it all proved profitable at the final preformance. The training choir members number ap- proximately 125 persons. These students gave up their study halls to sing in this group. They worked hard three days a week and were giv- en two study halls a week. This way they had to work hard to keep up with the concert choir and they did, as shown by their many excellent performances. Bottom Row: L. Kersey, D. Johnston, L. Murrell, J. Tedrow, J.

The Martinsville chapter of the Future Farmers of America have had a challenging year carrying out agricultural activities which prepared the boys to become farmers, while de- veloping leadership, and which provided op- portunities to practice brotherhood. The chapter harvested their ten acres of corn and soybeans at their farm at East School and held a Smorgasbord in the cafeteria to fi- nance their activities. They developed leader- ship as they hosted the District Officers Train- ing School and gave parlimentary procedure and safety demonstrations. Four members of the chapter, which won the State Cooperative Activities Award, attended the American Institute of Cooperation in Ohio. The entire chapter was given a free tour of the Indiana Farm Bureau Co-op in March. Other activities of the chapter included family night, the pest eradication contest, the party with the Future Homemakers, the public speaking and essays contests, the girl-friend party, and the selling of seed corn in the spring.

They also served coffee to visiting par- ents and teachers during Open House held during National Education Week. FHA had its informal initiation in October at the City Park where the new members were dressed as babies complete with bottles. Special programs were presented for Thanks- giving, Halloween, and Christmas by commit- tees composed of members. The club fulfilled all state and national requirements and was therefore named an Honor Chapter at the state convention. Diane Hillman, president, was elected to serve as a district officer, historian. At one meeting hairstyling tips were given by a hairdresser. All the girls benefited great- ly by this talk and its effects were noticed by everyone as the girls were seen around MHS halls. The FFIA had an annual Mother and Daugh- ter dinner in the home-ec rooms. Also the for- mal initiation took place at this time. This ser- vice was held by candlelight and at the close of the ritual FHA pins were given to the new members. Also at this time a guest speaker presented a talk. Then the mother as well as the daugh- ters were allowed to ask questions of the speak- er about the subject. Mrs. Hazel Hazelett pins the Homemaker of Tomor row award on its recipient, Leslie Martin.

Students aided teachers; helped school to function student assistants are used in practically every department in the local high school. These students are selected by department heads with the approval of Mr. Raymond Ken- nedy, principal. Grades, attendance, and char- acter are the main qualifications for these stu- dents. The combined offices, bookstore, and li- brary use approximately 50 students each day. Other departments requiring assistants throughout the day are; girls gym, boys gym, audio-visual and projector, vocational guidance and counselors. Many teachers have helping them students who are interested in learning about their spe- cific fields. We can see these students hustling around the halls of MHS each day on different er- rands. This year these student assistants have been of great help in the various departments. One department head called his helpers My right arms. The teachers have learned that they can depend on these students. Joanne Oldham, Sheila Gray, and Rodney Williams assist in the library by checking out books, filing information, and recording overdue book fines. Photography Club was an active club around MHS as shown by the many events its members covered with their picture taking. The club was headed by Tom Hanna, president, and was sponsored by Mr. John Rackow. One of their money making projects was the taking of pictures at the various dances of the year. They took pictures of the couples wishing this service, and then sold those snapshots at a small profit. Each member took pictures of many things around MHS to show to other members of Pho- tography Club. The club gave constructive criti- cisms to help each person take better pictures in the future. Photography Club studied in small groups at several meetings. They learned how to make prints, portraits, still lifes, and flash pictures better and cheaper. Also they studied film de- veloping and the use of adjustable cameras. A point system was installed this year. Members of the Photography Club are checking the adjustments of their enlarger.

Science Club greatly changed its constitu- tion this year. A point system was put into ef- fect, and a clause making entrance into the Science Fair mandatory was added. This clause resulted in an increase in the size of the Fair, having about 60 participants. The Science Club Publicity Committee provided several posters for increasing student interest. Doug Johnston won the first place award for the senior division of the Science Fair; Jer- ry Arthur placed first in the junior division. The Science Club and Radio Club attended the Regional Science Fair at Indiana Universi- ty during March. These young scientists held their annual initiation at the beginning of the school year. This event was fun for all except the members being initiated. Science Club members learned much and worked hard — and realized the necessity to work harder. They enjoyed planning their main project, the Science Fair, and had fun in all of their activities. Gregg Vane explains the history and principles of the telescope to fellow Science Club members.
