OUR NEW BUILDING Our new building has many advantages over the old buildings. Some of these are that it is safer, more sanitary, more convenient, and far more beautiful. The building is constructed of brick, concrete, tile, and steel, all fire-proof materials. It has four exits, it has two stairways from the basement and the second floor. The wide halls are equipped with fire doors with panic bolts. The danger of accidents while load- ing and unloading pupils has been reduced by loading from the rear of the building in- stead of on the street. Sight-saving may be said to be the motto of this building. The wide windows afford good natural light, and on dark days. the rooms are lighted by 300-watt bulbs in semi- direct light fixtures. The windows are equipped with double-roll shades to admit the ligh-t from either below or above. A modern ventilating system provides a plentiful supply of fresh air at all times. The drinking fountains are the new side-flow type, which prevents waste water from returning to the fountains. A recreation room provides a place to play in bad weather, and a first-aid room, a place to care for ill or injured children. Sanitary washrooms and a modern heating system are great assets to the sani- tation and health conditions of the school. The location of this building near the high school is far more convenient for Mr. Morgan and the music and art supervisors in doing their work and also makes it possible for the grade children to have the use of the large playground and gymnasium at the high school. Housing all the grades under one roof makes possible a more unified school program and provides broader social contacts for the pupils. Pupils also have more ready access to the Public Library. They will have the advantages of visual education because of the installation of electric outlets. In planning all these advantages, beauty has not been disregarded. The pleasing exterior of buff brick with stone trim harmonizes well with the colors of the high school building. The terraza entrance, facing Main Street, is beautiful. On the inside the hardwood floors, fir panel doors, white sand plaster walls, green, buff and brown woodwork, glazed tile wainscoting, and attfactive, well-lighted halls are equally elegant. Because of all these advantages we are justly proud of our new building and award it this place of honor in the 1940 Indianian. ..4.. BOARD OF DIRECTORS Mr. Morgan Dr. McKean Mr. Shuman Mr. Freeman Mr. Cummins The fairest, firmest, yet most friendly gentleman in the Montpelier School System and the best friend of every student is Mr. Morgan. He tries to make every student think of him as an adviser instead of a dictator. He excels in creating in the student a feeling of self-conndence. He has taught here for nine years. He worked his way through high school and has studied at Central Normal College, State Teachers' College, Univer- sity of Michigan, and University of Chicago. He has obtained his A.B. and A.M. degrees. The new member of the board this year, Dr. Gorman McKean, is serving as secre- tary. He has proved that he is a very capable co-worker. Hugh Shuman has performed his duties very successfully in the six years he has been on the board. He is president of the board this year. This is the second year on the board for Russel Freeman. He holds the office of treasurer this year and efficiently takes care of the monetary worries of the board. William Cummins, trustee, is also serving his second year on the board. He has al- ways diligently performed his duty of taking care of the buses and the rural students.

This year, with the handicap of a small senior class, publishing an annual seemed uncertain. But under the able leadership of junior Smith and Gerald Wilhems, captains of the Golds and Blues, respectively, during the subscription contest, subscriptions soon piled up to the required quota of 250. The staff is as follows: editor-in-chief, Harold Johnson, literary editor, Genevieve Teegardeng senior editor, Margaret Roberts, athletic editor, Carl Reed, typists, Jane Brumfiel and Murray Inman, activities editors, Mary Wentz and Clara Cutcaltg class poet, Maureen Hornbakerg calendar editor, Harold Boltzg snapshot editor, Anna Marie Easton, joke editor, Eugene Anderson, printers, Estella Alfrey and Margaret Clark, business manager, Foy Bortong subscription managers, Murl McCammon and Charles Walker, advertising managers, Gerald Wilhems and Roy Smith. Early in the year the staff chose its cover, blue and gold, and decided to use a build- ing theme. After thc first staff meeting, the hustle and bustle began of getting material ready for the printer. During almost any seventh period, busy staff members could be seen preparing copy. Finally on April I. the completed dummy was sent to the printer and was ready for distribution early in May. The staff wishes to thank Miss Albertson, literary adviser, Mr. Wilson, business adviser, Miss Anderson, art adviserg and Elaine Landis and Peggy O'Donnell, art stu- dents, for their cooperation in the production of this book. -gu. v l'itoNl Roxy--'Carrie Norton, Ciordon Uvermeyer, Donnie Cantwell, Alohn Cook, Vera ,lean Ramseyer, Marjorie Sutton, lleloris Mcllaniel.

RIEVIERII-3 OIF THE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING I was constructed in the year of 1922 near the intersection of Main and East Monroe streets. For seven years my view was unchanged. Then early in January, 1939, things began to happen almost in my front yard, for wreckers came and tore down my old neighbor. I was grieved at this, for, although he was not very useful any more and was not beautiful to look at, I was accustomed to seeing him and didn't mind. Besides he looked better than a pile of old bricks. I In a short time, however, the old bricks were hauled away and a base- ment was being dug. This looked inter- esting. I wondered what was going to be built where my old neighbor had stood so long. Probably only a filling station-nothing to get excited about. When the foundation had been laid and the structure began to rise above the ground, I could see that it was far too imposing to be a mere filling sta- tion. My curiosity grew. Each day I watched for some clue to help me solve the riddle. Just before Easter an event occur- red that, I thought, solved my mys- W attended by the school children and their teachers. Could it be possible I tery. There was a cornerstone laying that this was a new school building? Was I to be abandoned? , 1 . All through the summer heat I , , watched the building grow. I could see Mr. Morgan and Mr. Cummins spending much time over there. Would it be completed by the opening of school, I wondered. Meanwhile, I could tell that my interior was being prepared as usual for the opening of school. Surely, the new building was not to take my place, I thought. September 5 brought the first day of school. My students and teachers returned, and I could see the smaller children playing where they always had played. Had I been Wrong in my guess, after all? Finally the building was completed. Then on the morning of September 22 my riddle was answered, for I saw bus after bus stop near the new building and unload small children, who happily ran in at the door. Then I knew the purpose of my new neighbor. I used to wonder where the children came from who entered my portals for the first time. They were much larger than any I had seen playing about the old building. Now I can see all my future children every day and watch over their progress until they become really my own. -15- SEVENTH GRADE Ester Mae Bennett, Buddy Cary, Betty Cline, Bobby Combs, Jerry Cook.

As he is an alert guard, he prevents many shots at the opponents' basket. We shall lose him next year, as he is a senior. VON ELBERT RAINS Von, a junior this year, knows how to shoot and score. Although he didn't play in many first team games, he is pretty hot. DAVID BOWMAN Dave always plays good ball. He is a very good passer and adds a lot of fight to the team. We are glad that he will be back next year. HAROLD MCDIRMIT Mick is the largest boy on the squad. He played in a number of games this year and always played to win. Since Mick is a sophomore, he has a bright future ahead. EUGENE BARRETT Dude has clever foot work and is a real ball handler. He has plenty of ight. As he is a sophomore, he has a splendid career ahead. ROBERT PARK Bob is a re ular on the first team and is an excellent uard. He oes into ever 1 g Q 1 n 1 g g game w1th the determination to win. Bob gets hot occasionally. He can be counted on to shoot a bucket when needed. He will be on the floor again next year. BILL HAWK Bill, our tall center, was in there fighting in every game. He can hit under fire and is a star on defense. Bill has another year before him. DANIEL MARKLEY Dan, a senior, was captain of our team this year. He was a hot shot from any place on the floor and a wonderful team player. He used his height to great advantage on both bankboards. He will be very hard to replace next year. EUGENE OUTCALT Gene, a regular, played both guard and forward positions. As he is a deceptive dribbler and a hot-shot Hghter from start to finish, he caused our opponents plenty of trouble in every game. He will be graduated this year. DON COONS Don has been on the team for several years and has shown that he can play ball. Always ready when neededl' was his motto. He will be graduated this year. BILL WALL Bill played in every game of the season-a speedy forward who made his shots count. As he is a senior this year, he will be missed on next year's team. DICK HENDERSON Dick, still on the job, has been our student manager for two years. Dick is a good worker and sees to it that everything is in perfect shape. -22- COLTS The .Iunior High has won eight of their fifteen hard-fought games. The players are selected from the seventh and eighth grade boys. Although some are small, they are fast and hard to beat and will make good ma- terial for the future Pacers.

Many boys of our school have become skillful players under his expert leadership. As a result, this season we have won the most of our games.

By planning various acti- vities to suit the time of year, she keeps the girls interestedg for each girl gets to do, at some time during the year, the type of activity she prefers doing. MR. WILSON If there is anyone who can get the most out of our track team, it is Mont- pelier's veteran, Mr. Wilsoii. Pop pushes the boys hard, but that is the only way to get results. He has coached our track squad for several seasons. He always takes winning or losing as just part of the game. .- 30, The aim of the Athletic Board is to relieve our coach of some of the responsibility of controlling athletic finances, supervising training of teams, and providing athletic equipment. Members of the Athletic Board are elected each year. This year Mr. Wilsoii, Mr. Morgan, Miss Wallker, and Mr. Craig are the four faculty members of the Board.

Our Building Instructors for the year were Miss Morehouse and Mr. Craig. We chose as our Board of Directors, Construction Engineer, Daniel Markleyg Assistant Construction Engineer, Carl Reed, Appropriation Manager, LaVern Love, Architects, Louise Whitacre and Vernon Reese. During the year Anna Marie Easton entered our class. Five of our workers withdrew during the year: Wendell Brown, Ruby Englehart, Charles Curts, Herman Beeks, and Harry McFarren. We presented at our convocation the play Eggs- ackly. Having completed the foundation, we started the first floor of our Building with fifty workers. Our Building Instructors for the year were Miss Morton and Mr. Cantwell. We chose as our Con- struction Engineer, Bill Wall, Assistant Construc- tion Engineer, Murray Inman, Appropriation Manager, Vernon Reese, who was succeeded by Eugene Outcaltg Architects, Betty Kane and Don Coons. During the year five new workers entered our class: Frances Clevenger, Robert Cunningham, Clarence Blankenbaker, Herman Beeks, and James Britton. During the second semester we lost seven workers: Richard Elliott, Oliver Eurniss, Vernon Reese, Helen Sutton, James Britton, Clarence Blankenbaker, and Kenneth Brandenburg. On February 25, we presented our convocation. Early in September, 1938, we started the second floor of our Building with forty-two workers. During the year Jeanne Goode, Louise Whitacre, LaVerne Love, Lorada Blanter, Alvin Schmidt, and Mary Shinn withdrew, but Herman Beeks rejoined us. We chose as our Building In- structors this year Miss Nelson and Mr. Wilson. Our Board of Directors was Construction En- gineer, Carl Reed, Assistant Construction Engin- eer, Margaret Roberts, Appropriation Manager, Joe Rogers, Architects, Clara and Eugene Outcalt. On October 31, we selected our class rings. On November 29, we presented a very interesting play, Pagin' Cap'n Kidd. The cast was as fol- lows: Lorada Banter, Mary Wentz, Genevieve Teegarden, Maureen Hornbaker, Ruth McGeath, Jane Brumfiel, Murl McCammon, Charles Walker, John Weaver, Gerald Wilhems, Harold Johnson, and Eugene Anderson. The proceeds of the play were used in giving the Junior-Senior reception. The class also sold candy at the Blind Tourney to raise money for the reception. On May 19 we gave the reception, the .theme of which was a lovely rainbow effect. Thie room was gayly decorated with flowers and balloons of the various colors of the rainbow. An instrumen- tal trio composed of Sidney Allen, Dorothy Allen, and Robert Halmes, furnished music for the event. In 1939 we started the interior of our Build- ing of Knowledge. Richard Grimes and Charles Gruver did not return to help us put on the Hn- ishing touches. Our Building Instructors for the year were Miss Albertson and Mr. Morgan. Our Board of Directors was Construction Engineer, Junior Smith, Assistant Construction Engineer, Gerald Wilhems, Appropriation Manager, Murray Inman, Architects, Mary Wentz and Eugene Out- calt. Early in the year the Annual Staff was chosen and we began work on the Indianian. Although this was a very difhcult task, each stu- dent did his part to make this book a success. Un- der the supervision of Miss Albertson, we worked faithfully until it was finished. In order to make the Annual drive more interesting, we had a contest. Junior Smith was captain of the Gold side, and Gerald Wilhems of the Blue. The contest was won by the Blues. The losing side gave a party for the winners on December 14. On Feb- ruary 2, we presented our convocation, which was in honor of Abraham Lincoln. It was presented by the Public Speaking Class. The class said the Gettysburg Address and O, Captain, My Cap- tain. There was a vocal solo by Eugene Ander- son and an instrumental number by Maureen Hornbaker and Genevieve Teegarden. On May 3, we presented the play, Campus Quarantine. On May 17, we were entertained by the Junior Class at the Junior-Senior reception. Bac- calaureate services were held on May 19. The Com- mencement was held on May 23. The class wore blue caps and gowns. The address was delivered by Professor Robert Phillips of Purdue University. The class motto was We have crossed the bay and the ocean lies before us. The class colors were white and violet. The gardenia was the class flower.

Among the beginners at grade school today are Don Coons, jr., Margaret Ellen and Junior Wall, and Clara Norman. This correspondent overheard an interesting conversation among the anxious parents who were assembled in Mr. Cline's office waiting to see how their offsprings would behave on their first day at school. The conversation went something like this: MRS. CooNs: Why hello, Clara! How are you? And how are Earl and little Clara? MRS. NORMAN! just fine, thank you. I see Don, Jr., is starting to school today, I'll bet he's glad. Why, look! Here comes Margaret Wall and her twins. I suppose they are beginning today, too. MRS. WALL: Hello, girls. Gee, I haven't seen you for ages. How are you anyway? MRS. NORMAN: Just fine. Have you heard from any of the other seniors of 1940? MRS. WALL: I just received a letter from Margaret Clark. She's still a stenographer in Daniel Markley's Dairy Products Company, and James is trying to play better table tennis. You know Carl Reed is now President, and jane Brurn- iel is his private secretary! MRS. CooNs: Have you seen 'Private Secre- tary,' starring Clyde Smith? He's a second Robert Taylor. MRS. NORMAN: I agree. Murray Inman has taken Kay Kyser's place. His singing star, Eugene Anderson, is wonderful. They're on the green network. MRS. WALL: Yes, and Harold Johnson is radio and television technician on that network. Heis at South Bend now. MRS. CooNs: Why, that's where Harold Boltz's department store and Gerald Wilhems' 'Silver Slipper Nightclub' are located. Mary Wentz is the star of his skating exhibitions. MRs. WALL: Maurine Hornbaker is enjoying a luxurious life in Missouri. -50- MRS. NORMAN: Oklahoma is where Gene- vieve Teegarden is teaching school. MRS. CooNs: Herman Beeks is a professor at Harvard, where James Emshwiller is studying to acquire a manly voice. Ruth McGeath is teach- ing Physical Ed. at Waukegonf' MRS. WALL: Murl McCammon, the county agent, is trying to tell Charles Walker how to make his farm more successful. Murl is still mar- velling over Herbert Clamme's 1949 tomato crop. MRS. CooNS: Roy Smith is chief pilot of the 'Comet Clipper' on its flight to Europe. MRS. NORMAN: Well, Jesse Hammond owns a restaurant in Mexico. MRS. WALL: All of the rest live close to Montpelier. Clyde Brown is now owner of a filling station on Main Street. MRS. NORMAN: Two, no, three of the others are married. Eugene Outcalt is married to Gaynel, Thurman Spaulding to Aletha, and Delores Mar- shall to a certain 'Buddyf Delores is living in Dunkirk now. I hear that Estella Alfery is going to be married soon, too. MRS. CooNs: Is she? Who will be the lucky one, Pete or Bill? Do you suppose she will be married by Foy Borton, the Methodist minister at Millgrove?,' MRS. WALL: I wonder. That leaves just two, doesn't it? Anna Marie Easton is a surgical nurse in the largest hospital in Indianapolis. Does any- one know what John Henry is doing? MRS. NORMAN: The last I heard he was in the motion picture business in Hollywood. But, youive forgotten joe Rogers. You know he's Roy's co-pilot on the Comet Clipperf, MRS. CooNs: Dear, dear, there is the recess bell already. Doesn't time fly when we get to talking about our old schoolmates?,' BU ILDERS, All In '36 we started out Some fortune for to find, But now in '40 it is true That some are left behind. We've well enjoyed our school days With the teachers fond and true, Especially in the library When they looked at me and you. Did they think we were great problems? We were sometimes, I guess, Or when they sat and stared at us Were they thinking thougths likenthis? Danny is a baseball star, While Murray toots his horn. Harold and jane bring the grades, And Emshwiller looks forlorn. Our farmer boys, Carl, Murl, and joe, Blue ribbons they do take While Clamme and Walker, not behind, Always win sweepstakes. The Clark.s are very quiet. Perhaps it's just as well, For Don and Helen talk enough To last for quite a spell. From 'South of the Border, came jesse To graduate with our class, But Clyde Brown left us at Xmas To work at selling gas. Herman is a ladies' man With Boltz not far behind They run to help Foy Borton Margaret Ellen for to find. Anna Marie likes redheads She's as bashful as can be. Clara is the quiet type, Now engaged you see. Anderson is a singer, The best one of his kind. ' Estella is busy looking A prince charming for to find. john Henry is a Romeo, He flirts with every girl. But Gerald sticks to Mary, He's captured quite a pearl. Thurman likes Aletha. She isn't in our class. Geneuieue likes a junior boyg I wonder how long 'twill last. Eugene O., our lucky star, Passes the ball far kind wide. The ball is caught by Billy. A basket for our side! Ruth is the athletic type, Always on the go. Delores is a charming girl Waiting for a beau. And then we have two Smith boys. Our president is Clyde, While Roy 1nodels airplanesg And does he make them glide! Now friends you all may wonder Who wrote these lines for you. lt was Maurine's broad thinking, So I'll bid you all adieu. ..51.. BUILDING BACKIERS AMERICAN GLOVE COMPANY-Gloves and Mittens.
