With the conviction that no one was ever perfect, we feel that what- ever deed of unfriendliness we might have committed in the past will soon be forgotten, and that ev- eryone of you have been a strong link in the chain of our careers which we earnestly believe will be a never end- ing chain of success. Now as we leave these halls of learning, we, each and everyone, bid you adieu hoping that some day we may prove to you that your efforts were not spent in vain. ELEVEN ,- 1-LT?

Since we are the first class to have spent four years within the walls of the new building prepared for our convenience and interests, we have a sincere devotion for it, and cannot so readily and easily leave. We have a mingled feeling of amusement and pride when we let our minds wander back to the day that we entered this large unfinished build- ing, when we were small, timid Freshmen, so confused as to be almost horrified at the idea of remaining here. This feeling could not last long after becoming acquainted with class rooms, class-mates, the faculty, and even Seniors. Our entire Freshman year was filled with important events which will not soon be forgotten. To say that as Sophomores we were not sophisticated would be to say that we were not Sophomores at all. Still being the largest class in the school, we usually participated in every activity and never once re- mained in the background. A shadow was cast over us during this year due to the death of one of our members, depriving us of one who had remained loyal to our Sophomore band, Lilly McNary. It is seldom doubted that the Junior year was the happiest and most eventful year of the whole course. It was by this time that we became wholly adapted to High School ways and eagerly looked forward to every occasion. We assumed more responsibility than ever before, and our class play and banquet were two events never to be forgotten. Then, last but not least, we became the dignified Seniors that we had longed to be ever since entering High School, and we consider that we have made this year very worth while in our lives because of the activities in which we have entered, the zeal we have had in our studies, and the loyalty we have had to our school. And, now as we say adieu To our friends and classmates too- It is not without a sigh That we bid them all goodbye. We shall meet in future times In many inconsistent climesg But despite divergent ways- We'll remember High School Days. LOIS MCCLELLAN TWENTY-'rwo -N a X i -alix-SM N ' E' A Ulrnuhlvznme llunhrrh One day a fellow received word that his ticket had drawn one hun- dred dollars in a near-by town, and that if he could be there in fifteen minutes he would receive it. This fellow, being no exception, jumped in his Ford, which was wired together with almost one-half it's weight in bailing wire, and rattled off toward town. As he was nearing the village he almost ran over a sleepy old cow who took a notion to cross the road before he passed. but he man- aged to dodge her and ran over a log at the side of the road, bursting two tires and shaking the Lizzie to her depths, causing her to sigh and groan as though she would fall to pieces. Upon nearing his goal the beloved car balked, which. before this, was nothing uncommon, but at this time was very annoying. Forgetting his rheumatism, he leaped from the vehicle and sprinted the last hundred yards. He arrived on time and received the money. As he never liked banks very well and wished to boast to his wife, he went home that night, a tired but happy man, with the money tem- porarily safe in his vest pocket. Upon hearing this, his wife decided at once that they should buy some new clothes and two new tires with the money, but, needless to say, he had decided that they should invest in a home. All evening the battle raged with neither one gaining his point of view and when bedtime came, they decided, by common consent. to postpone the decisions until morning. The farmer, being afraid of burglars, placed the gun under his pillow and the money under the bed so he might watch over it. Since he was nervous, he was very uneasy and wakeful during the forepart of the night. but along towards morning he dozed off until he was awakened by a slight noise. Upon opening his eyes, he perceived a dark shadow lurking in one corner of the room. Without wasting time to investigate, he raised his gun and fired. The next moment he had leaped out of bed to perceive what he had hit, but upon arriving at the corner he saw that the moon-light shad- ows had fooled him and he had put a bullet-hole through the seat of his Sunday trousers. Sadly, he went back to the bed to see if his money was still safeg but, upon reaching to get it, he discovered only bits of paper- the mice had chewed it beyond all human help.

For the benefit of the former members of the class and others who are interested, we are broadcasting the history of our high school career. In September 1923, forty-two pupils enrolled in the Freshman class. At first everyone was timid and afraid to say or do anything for fear of the Sophomore's laughter. However. we soon discovered that He who laughs last, laughs best, and began to act like normal girls and boys once more. Demain Macey and Wyley Fasig were chosen president and secre- tary of the class, with Miss Bradbury and Mr. Apple as sponsors. Be- sides school work the class, following in the footsteps of the other classes, also enjoyed parties and Wiener roasts. However, not all the events of the year were pleasurable. We were very much saddened by the death of two of our members-Lelon Linn and Carlton Payne. September 1924 found most of us Sophomores, but the class was de- creased to a membership of thirty-five. Demain Macey was again selected as our captain and Miss Tucker and Mr. Apple as our advisers. We did our bit in the Carnival and showed the world-in the Stunt Show-that boys could be old maids as well as girls. Class parties, Wiener roasts, and other amusements also had their places along with our school work. September 1925 finds us beginning thethird lap of our journey with much enthusiasm, for now we are Juniors and hope soon to be Seniors. The class seems to wake up to its responsibilities. Demain Macey is chosen president for the third time. Miss Hartmann and Miss Thomsen are chosen as advisers. Everyone worked hard to make our three projects in the Carnival a success-The Radio Program, the Popularity Contest and the Fishpond. Adam and Eva has been selected as the class play. The class as aswhole aims to make both it and the Junior-Senior Banquet a success. oz- We'll plan for more than we can do And do it. We'll bite off more than we can chew And chew it. We'll hitch our wagon to a star. We'll keep our seats and there we are. This concludes our program for this year. But as a closing word, I wish to say that next year we hope to broadcast the further achievements and history of the class of '27. We thank you. Radio Station M. C. H. S. signing oif.

GIVEN: Sixty-three verdant freshies. TO PROVE: The sixty-three verdant freshies may sometime be- come dignified seniors. PART I Proof Steps 1. Sixty-three verdant Freshies en- roll at M. C. H. S. September 1, 1924. . We, the fi-eshies, enter wrong class rooms, sit in senior seats, and in- general wander into the wrong thing af the wrong time. 3. Miss Hamblen became our adviser 4. We have another class meeting and elect Earl Johnson president, Mary Fitch, vice president, and Maxine Stan- field secretary and treasurer. 5. Semester examinations are here. 6. Half our greenness is worn off. 7. We freshies have the honor of having two of our members on the High School debating team. 8. Great rejoicing! Our t'freshie's basket ball team conquers Garfield's freshies. 9. Semester Exams. 10. We hold our breath. 11. Stop! Look! Listen! We are Sopho- mores. Reasons 1. When school opens all students, in- cluding freshies must enroll. 2. All freshies are green. 3. All classes must have advisers. 4. All classes must elect class offi- cers. 5. M. fC. H. S. always has semester examinations. 6. Half our freshman year is gone. 7. Our class has ability. 8. We, freshies have a good 'basket ball team. 9. Time for the misery to arrive. 10. Teachers are telling our fate. 11. We pass semester examinations. PART II 1. A band of fifty-six very wise Sophs enroll August 31, 1925. 2. We wise Sophs have the largest class in M. C. H. lS. 3. We instruct the green Freshies and enjoy their mistakes. 4. We elect Mr. Pierson and Miss Polk for class advisers. 5. In our second class meeting we elect Mary Fitch, presidentg Earl Johnson, vice-president, and Raymond Macey, secretary and treasurer. The death of Maxine Stanfield, one of our best liked, and most needed sopho- mores, caused a sad break in the, other- wise, happy and orderly steps of our class towards its goal. 6. We forget to instruct the fresh- men. 7. Examinations are here. 8. Great Happiness! Exams are over! Mr. Girhard has announced that our class has the highest average of any of the other classes. 9. Therefore in some near future time we that were verdant Freshies will sometime become dignified seniors. 1. When school opens all students must enroll. 2. '1'here are fifty-six of us. 3. All Sophs are wise. 4. All classes must have advisers. 5. Every class must elect class offi- cers. 6. All are working. 7. Time has arrived. 8. No more worry until time for next examinations. 9. From the previous steps the reader can easily foretell the future of our class, for how could we possibly be any- thing except dignified seniors When We have already made such rapid progress toward our goal. -Mary Fitch.

We met many difficulties the first few days, such as getting into wrong classes and meeting dignified seniors. At a class meeting we elected our class officers and advisers for the year. Vernon Moore was elected president, Riley Sharp vice-president, and Ralph Husted secretary and treasurer. Mr. Fender and Miss Gordon are our class advisers. When it came time for the Carnival, we decided to prove that we were not quite as green as we were supposed to be. We put on a very successful show and sold popcorn and crackerjack. We brought With us several members of our eighth grade champion basketball team of last year, who promise. to help make a splendid High School team in the near future. Many of the members of our class are taking prominent parts in the various activities of the school. so just watch us. We, too, shall be dignified seniors some day.

R lf l-J'1 W-i, 77, .Y YV - JV W DEAN JANNEY Cap played at tackle, and for two years was the mainstay of the line. From the first moment of the game until the final whistle blew, his voice could be heard encouraging the team. We're sorry to see you leave, Cap. WALTER BATTY When Batty started through the line, he was about as easy to stop as a pleasant habit. He was high score man with seventy-six points. Batty' is a Junior and we're expecting great things from him next year. BEN LEATHERMAN Hap's long suit was receiving pass- es. He had a habit of breaking through the interference and getting the man with the ball before he got started. Hap was selected for captain for next year. EMERY MILLER Poochy's work was characterized by his determination and fighting. He play ed guard and was one of the best block ers on the team. Poochy is a Junior Just watch him next year. CLINTON MORGAN Clint played halfback and when he started twisting and squirming through the line he was a hard man to stop. With these assets he will be a valuable man on next year's team. ALBERT ZIMMERMAN With two years of experience in dlf ferent positions we all look for 'Bum to be a reliable man on next years elev en. He is fast on his feet and good bucking the line. His passing is hard to beat. THIRTY-TWO -X I sf Qfi - i a ,. KX .Qi-. ffm- Aix Roscoa PIERSON This was Mr. Pierson's second year at M. C. H. S. It was through his untiring efforts that it was possible for Martins- ville to have the winning team that it had this year. CLAUDE BROSMAN This was Muscle's first year at foot- ball and he took to the game like a duck takes to water. He played tackle and many were the gains made through holes made by him in the opposing line. Mus- cle is a Sophomore. FERRELL CHANCELLOR Tony wasn't a Red Grange but he was a shifty and exceedingly fast run- ner and when he got started it took most of the opposing team to stop him. Wish you could be here next year Tony, RUSSELL KITCHEN EARL JOHNSON Jack took up the quarterback posi- tion when Ralph was injured and ian the team like an old head. Jack is only a Sophomore so the team has assurance for a good quarterback for two inorv years. PAUL MARTIN Elmer alternated at center and guard with Martin. He was a demon on defense and could be relied to stop the line plays that came his way. He did his part and what more could be asked? So long, Elmer, Duff was a stone wall on defense and when he charged into an opposing line that line had to give way. Because of his size his opponents thought he was slow but soon changed their minds. Your place will be hard to fill next year, Duff.

While he was playing the opponents were not long in finding that U he was a hard man to send a play through. Herm is a Sophomore LEROY BULLARD is a Freshman so has not had a good chance to show what he can do. Forget the women instead of the signals, Roy, and we predict a phenominal suc- cess for you on the gridiron. llR0y!! HENRY GRAHAM Hank was forced to give up foot ball on account of an injury received the year before. Since he was unable to get into the game, he served on the team as student manager. LLOYD WILHOIT Though a trifle light Jodey's heart and head were always in the game. He was a fast and furious lineman and when he tackled, his opponent knew that he was down. This was Jodey's last year. RALPH JOHNSON Canon Ball was the little man phys ically but the big man mentally. He was injured in the Westfield game and the loss of his field generalship was a hard blow to the team. Au revoir, Can- non Ball. PERCY JOHNSON Pere played the same style of foot- ball throughout the season, clean, hard hitting, showing good sportsmanship. If will be a hard jo-b to fill Perc's place at end next year.

Of the ten games played eight were won and two lost. Without hesitation we can say that a large percent of the credit for that success is due to the excellent coaching of Mr. Pierson. He not only imparted to the team, knowledge of football and how to play it, but by his never say. 'die' spirit he instilled into his men that very necessary and all powerful quality called Fight, without which we would have fallen short of victory on more than the two occasions that we did. As we had a long schedule ahead and only five letter-men from last years team, practice was started three weeks before the opening of school. Besides the five letter-men, the team was made up of boys who had had lit- tle experience and some, practically none. At first our prospects for a win- ning team were very uncertain, but after the team had played and won the first three games, the fans lost their uneasiness, for it was evident that the boys could take care of themselves against any eleven on the schedule. No time was lost in taking sweet revenge for some of the heavy losses suffered last year. Despite heavy losses by injuries in the first half of the season the team never lost its fighting spirit, and when the curtain fell on the season Martinsville ranked among the leading teams of The Wabash Valley. With the exception of the game with Shelburn, Indiana, the scores were all low and close. Four of our victories came about as a result of timely rallies staged in the last quarter. The two defeats came at the hands of Oblong and Georgetown. Oblong, no doubt, presented a superior eleven, while in the Georgetown game the presence of a good punter and fewer bad breaks might have brought about a happier ending. All through the year the team was less successful in kicking. One thing of note in that department was the fact that the team played all of the ten games without once kicking the ball over the goal either by drop or place kicks. Two field goals were scored against us and one extra point after touchdown. Four touchdowns were scored against us as a result of fumblesg luckily, however, none of these touchdowns contributed to either one of our defeats. An airtight defense was developed and many were the long gains made by the splendid aerial attack built up. Of the sixteen letter-men of the team of '25 we will have nine who will be left on the field for next year's team. These, with the promising material that is coming on, should be able to keep the good work going and a brilliant year such as the one just enjoyed will be the result. HENRY GRAHAM TI-IIRTY-SIX : A :S ws, zifmss- 5 N. X ei .Af K -fit EARL JOHNSON Jack's work was characterized by his floor work and his good eye for the basket. He could always be found in the thickest of the game at any time. DEMAIN MACEY Cap, a Junior, never seemed c to weaken in a contest and rarely failed to break up a play that was good for a short shot. DURWARD DEAHL Sam possessed a great amount of fight and could always be de- pended upon to come through with the goods. Sam has two more . y years. uv CLAUDE BROSMAN Captain-elect Muscle was the fightin'st player on the team. He was always alert for some fast play and an excellent dribbler. BEN LEATHERMAN Hap was a small man but that made no difference to him. Like in football he was always talking and lighting and his passing was excellent. THIRTY-SEVEN A f FERRELL CHANCELLOR we-fi x gh' WALTER BATTY Batty played center, guard and forward, but was best on de- fense, ruining many an opponents chances of scoring. Tony is the only player lost to the team for,next year. As he was a good shot and fitted in with team plays he will be missed next year. RUSSELL MACEY In the personage of Doc the team possessed a real student man- ager. He was always on the job, ever ready to administer to their wants. HERMAN PIERSON Herm had the fundamentals of basketball at his command and made many a shot count by avoid- ing unwary guards. THIRTY-EIGHT -X 3-4 ' .iid A f - I 1 I W Basketball The 1925-26 basketball season, While not successful in piling up a long string of victories, was successful in developing a new team to the point where next year they will be in a position to play real basketball Only one player is lost to the team for next year and with other prom 1s1ng' material already in the school and more coming in the outlook for next year is bright.

'Li ,Y-Q r r FORTY-SEVEN ,- v1 7 52 Q 13 Tx Agrirnlturr Glluh The Agriculture Club is an organization of farm boys in High School who are interested in Agriculture. All of the members either are taking or have taken a High School course in Agriculture. The purpose of the organization is to interest boys in scientific farming as a vocation and to improve Agricultural practices in the Community. The Agriculture Club carries on various activities. Probably the most outstanding of these is the Annual Father and Son Banquet. This has come to be an event that is looked forward to by both fathers and sons. The Club provides a program and a feed and invites the fathers of all the members to attend. Four of these banquets have been held and they have been a means of securing better cooperation between the boys, their fathers and the Agriculture Department. Another activity of the Agriculture Club this year is a sweet clover growing contest. All the boys in the Soils and Crop Class but two are entered in this contest. Thirty-four tons of lime stone and two bushels of sweet clover seed were given to the boys for conducting tests with fine grid coarse limestone. Prizes will be given to the boys conducting the st test. An improvement contest was conducted last year and is being con- ducted this year. In this contest the boys in the Club are divided into two teams and points are given to individuals for carrying out certain improved practices that the Club is interested in introducing and extend- ing. Prizes are given to the high point-boy each month, and the losing team finance a one-half day picnic at the end of the year for the whole Club. Baseball and other games furnish entertainment, and the losing team furnishes the food. The Agriculture Club also aids in paying the expense of representa- tives to sectional and state judging contests each year. This year the sectional contest will be held at Flora and the state contest at Urbana. Ten or more of our best livestock and grain judges will attend these con- tests. The Ag Club News is a new addition to the activities of the Club this year. It is a news letter which is sent free of charge to persons in the Community who want it. It contains timely articles pertaining to local problems and tells of the doings of the Agriculture Club. Our Agriculture Club cooperates with the Agriculture Club at Mar- shall, Casey and West Field in holding joint Ag Club meetings. These meetings have been well attended and are growing in popularity among the boys. The programs at these meetings are partly educational and partly entertaining. Refreshments, served at each meeting, add to their popularity. Most of these activities require some money. Various means have been employed in raising this money. The largest part of our income this year was made by building a sweet clover seed harvester and harvesting seed for farmers. on the halves. About three hundred and fifty dollars' were made in this way. We also hull and scarify sweet clover seed, clean seed, test seed corn, make and sell lime sulphur and grow and sell garden plants. Our effort is made to render service not already being rendered for which we make a small charge. ' In this way both the Club and the Community are benefited.

H ENRY GRAHAM Commercial Club Reporter ..........,...,....,....... THELMA ROTHROCK The students of M. C. H. S. had another incentive to school spirit as well as a newsy little paper for their enjoyment this year. The staff was composed of the advance stenographic class, upon whom lay the bur- den of the printing of the paper. Various Classes and Organizations ap- pointed reporters who helped gather material for The Flier. The project was financed by selling the subscriptions at fifty cents per school year, and by the playlette and vaudeville show given by the Commercial Club in the early fall. The Staff of '26 think it a worth while undertaking and hope that the M. C. H. S. Commercial Flier will continue to fly for the students, parents, teachers, and post-graduates in years to come. May it live as a school paper with true school spirit. FIFTY-FOUR Q s f 3 I s ,.-is K 1:19121-ig? Snririg OPEN HOUSE The Annual Open House was held May sixth. The regular work in each department was exhibited for public inspection. The sewing class, conducted by Miss Gordon, gave a fashion show. They displayed the very latest styles fashioned by the class. The Glee Club and Orchestra fur- nished the music for the occasion. JUNIOR CLASS RECEPTION OF '25 On the night of May 22, at six thirty o'clock, the Juniors entertained the Seniors and Faculty at a banquet in the Gardens, underneath the rainbow of M. C. H. S. It was a beautiful night for the festival. Bright stars twinkled through the rainbow. The moon threw its mellow light over all. In the center of the garden, a large golden pot cast its sparkling ray through the dense foliage that surrounded it. Around the sides were many small trees, inclosing the garden from the rest of the World. The tables were arranged in the most picturesque manner. The candles burned brightly, and sweet peas cast their wonderful fragrance through the room. The Violinist, Mr. Linn, sat in one corner and sent forth fascinating music to charm all his listeners. After the dinner, entertainment was furnished to all, by a progressive card party. DEBATING In a Democracy like ours where every person must do his own thinking and be able to express himself clearly and forcibly, no training is more valuable than that of debating. It was with this purpose in mind that we took up debates. Although we were defeated by Paris and Westfield we feel' that we gained much. Our star debaters were Gertrude Morrill, Lois McClellan, Mary Fitch, Percy Johnson, Ralph Johnson, Delbert Nave, and Grant Benner.

The bold and crafty trapper and hunter Mr. Hazel Miller made a good second. She was awarded a. free ticket of admission to the party and all events of the evening. After this every one unmasked and joined in the progressive games that were played. All departed at an early hour pro- claiming a wonderful time. COMMERCIAL CLUB KID PARTY On the eve of December 21 the annual Commercial Club Kid Party was held in the High School gymnasium. Everyone came dressed like kids with plenty of hair ribbons, and doll babies. All took part in the kid games. Later in the evening Old Santa came and distributed gifts from the Christmas tree. CARNIVAL The High School Annual Carnival was held January 24. There never was a party or festival more enjoyed or a greater success than the carnival. The classes worked very diligently on their stunts. The most prominent feature was the Junior's popularity contest, which was Won by Miss Ruby Ulrey. Some of the other prominent stunts were: the Negro Minstrel, the Cabaret, the Fish Pond, From Cow to Cone, and radio show.

The absence of their advertisements does by no means signify that they have not aided us in a financial way, for we feel that they have contributed far more to- ward the success of this book than ever before.
