It seems when she was fourteen years of age she was riding her old-rattly out of date tricycle. She rode to town fimaginel, was com- ing home and had to peddle down a hill, when oops! Helen landed right in the street. A wheel and come off! She had to carry the wheel, tri- cycle, and groceries home in her arms while bystanders sure gave her a laugh. Was her face red! tSeems as if the ripe old' age of fourteen is rather young to ride a tricycle, Helenj 14 Q! V9 Bad things happen in the best of faculties! Did you ever hear about the soda-Water jerker in Bloomington, who was on the verge of summon- ing the police to abduct Miss McMillan and five innocent M. H. S. de- baters, because she was making a get-away without paying the bill? .4 .-z ,st Escoe says: I'll ne'er forget the time I stuck John Lee, Mrs. Murray told me, the class to leave. Miss Borden, I found her at her desk, lShe knew I'd come on special request! So out with her citizenship book, She took off five. 1Was my goose cookedll 3 3 .Fl Two days vacash!

Some of our outstanding achievements are: Charles Dal- ton winning first place in the Cross Country Run in '35, with the girls adding an extra honor by taking first place in the Girl's Free Throw con- test. For the fall of '35 and the spring of '36 we marched proudly away with the Intramural cup. In '36 the boys won their Basketball series.

Our next move is to give the Seniors a grand reception. Be prepared for a rollicking time, Seniors. . We are plowing, on full steam ahead. head- ing for more honors and a glorious future. SOPHOMORES Under the leadership of their able president, Robert Girdley, and through guidance of their sponsor, Miss Stroud, the Sophomores have progressed much during the school year. At the present there are around eighty in the class. As the Annual goes to press, the Sophomores rank sec- ond in the Intramural Class Standing, having taken first place in the Girls' Basketball Series, tieing for the first with the Juniors in the Boys' Baseball Series, and taking second place in the Foul Toss Series for Boys. Future Seniors, we are plowing on with the objective of being the best Class ever to graduate from our Alma Mater, Mitchell High School. v v v FRESHMEN With over a hundred in the Class, the Freshmen Class is starting on the road to graduation. President, William Jones, and Sponsor Elizabeth Osborne, head perhaps the biggest Class ever to enter Mitchell High School. Members of the Class have entered into the different activities with a whole-hearted interest and a zeal that prom- ises much future ability and fame, the backbone of that Mitchell High School Spirit .

SECOND TEAM Front Row: John Deckard Duane Conkey Charles Mundy Robert Aikin John Redding Back Row: Frank Moore Lowell Clouse Wayne Bass William Jones Harold Wood Sterling Wiley, Student Man ager SECOND TEAM The Second Team is mostly composed of Sophomores and Freshmen. Although not participating in as many games as the Varsity Team, the Second Team won a greater percentage of games. Mr. Abel has also organized a Freshman Team. After the members of this team become good enough, they are promoted to the Second team. In this manner the Second Team is always composed of experienced play- ers. Later, if the player is judged good enough, he is eligible to become a player on the Varsity Squad. W'ayne Bass and Bill Jones were certified for the Sectional Tourna- ment, held at Bedford, and saw action during play there. Cletus Tow, started the sea- son with the Second's but showed such marked improye- ment near the latter part that he was transfered to the First Team. Jasper and Huntingburg did not bring their Second Teams because of the distance. For the same reason Mitchell's Second Team did not journey to Terre Haute to play Wiley. Perhaps the most exciting game was the one played with Orleans, the latter part of the season. An overtime game was necessary before the win- ner of the game was decided. with Mitchell the ultimate winner. SCHEDULE AND SCORES FOR THE SEASON SCORE DATE OPPONENT PLACE W T Nov Bedford ......

The band has been very active during the basketball sea- son, playing for every home game. The mixed chorus is made up of sixtv-nine members. ' Before Christmas, a large number of the mixed chorus gave a play Why the Chimes Rang . An ad- g mission of 10C was charged each one and the proceeds Efthtl' Bm'kl Y A.B. Butler were used to buy music material for the different or- ganizations. The band is verv conspicuous this year, since each band member has purchased blue shirts and gold ties. The band and orchestra, as well as the glee club, have added new members since the beginning of this semester. Miss Barkley, the music instructor, has donated a great deal of her time to the different departments and has had splendid results. The mixed chorus is planning to give an operetta, but as vet they have not definitely decided what it will be. Due to the vacation, the operetta will be given later in the spring. They a1'e also working on a musical re- view which vvill be presented at the gymnasium around the last of March. Puffs' fzrwnfy-foilr 1 I BOY'S GLEE CLUB I I I lst Row: 2nd Row: I R. VVatson H.

CLUBS PHSTORY OF THE SJNSHINE CLUB The first Sunshine Work in Indiana began at Crawfordsville in 1900. A group of high school girls there became interested in doing some Chris- tian work to cheer the shut-ins, old people, and needy children. Therefore, they organized the first Sunshine Club. The plan was presented to all girls of this school and to other schools. Since this time 139 chapters of Sunshine Clubs have been organized in Indiana to help spread sunshine and cheer everywhere. In 1921 it was decided to hold an annual state convention, which has been observed every year since then. These conventions are very successful and helpful to girls. In the fall of 1928 the Sunshine Club was brought into Mitchell High School. Miss Mary Crawford and Mrs. Wilma Newman were leaders in securing the club. The presidents of our Club have been' 1928-29 Margaret Laughlin 1929-30 Millicent Mayden 1930-31 Nancy Robertson 1931-32 Martha Bryan 1932-33 Maxine Conkey 1933-34 Letty Shaw 1934-35 Alma Corbin 1935-36 Roanna Porter 1936-37 Anna Sanders Officers for 1937-38 are: President Mary Ellen Pelizzari Vice-President Freida Sanders Secretary Velma Cox The purpose of the Sunshine Club in Mitchell High School is to make every girl feel that she has a part in something at school Each girl in the School has become a member of the club, and it has been growing evei since it was organized. HI-Y CLUB This year's Hi-Y club, though handicapped by lack of time for regular meetings, was active and progressed under the leadership and direction of the able President, Hugh Miller and Sponsor, Mr. Bishop. The Mitchell Club is affiliated with the Hi-Y nation-wide organiza- tion, a branch of the great Y. M. C. A. organization. A Hi-Y club was first organized in Mitchell High in 1922 but after a short while, ceased to exist, until revived in 1931. It has been active since. The club has several varied activities during the year, besides the meetings. Among these have been the following: A Halloween party was held in October. Early in December the club met with the Rotary Club in a joint meeting with the boys of the High School as guests. The Rotary Club provided the speaker-A. L. Trester of the IHSAA-and the Hi-Y Club furnished a meal for the men. The Club sponsored a pep campaign for boosting the team. At this writing, plans are being made for other activities, among them being an entertainment to provide funds to help pay for the floor covering for the gym. We are also contemplating the Hi-Y trip to some point of interest. In all, the club has had a good year, and we hope that the club may continue to prosper in the future.
