I'm swimming in Big Sugar near the weeping-willow trees, I hear sweet music floating on the summer eveningfs breeze, Some notes are Hlled with happiness and some with sorrow, too- Ah. now I know the tones are from the Chimes of Moral School.

And when I get to IsIeaven's gate above the sky of coral, l'll beg a harp that imitates the Chimes of Old Moral. --1 9 2 all Page eleven Pxuzo twolvv MORAL FOREWORD The Mural staff presents to you the first volume nf thc Mural.

MORAL HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '24 As the first class to leave the halls of Moral High School we feel that we should submit to you, kind reader, our history. W'e would not have you to understand that we have finished, but that we have just begun, and these four years spent in our Alma Mater form only a foundation and are as four stepping stones which advance our upward climb on the ladder to Success. Roy Hennis, having spent his entire years in common school at Turkey- Trap, graduated from that school in the spring of '2O. He entered the Fair- land High School the following fall as a Freshman. Through diligent work he completed three successful years there and left there as a Senior. NVhile attending Fairland school he took an active part in the many social func- tions of the school and in his Junior year was president of his class. The school at Moral being ready for High School, he entered there as a Senior. He has taken an active part in everything connected with the school. Roy should receive no small measure of honor, since it has been he who, as the editor-in-chief, has contributed much of his time and effort toward the making of this book. Noble Jones graduated from Center school in the year of '20, The fol- lowing year he entered Fairland H. S. By diligent work he completed his three years there and left as a Senior. VVhile attending school there he took an active part in the social affairs of his school, but in athletic contests he held a position as a spectator. He entered Moral H. S. as a Senior. This year's work has been one of activity, and Noble expects to graduate as one of the class of '24. Dorothy King graduated as a classmate of Noble. The following spring she entered Shelbyville H. S. After completing the Freshman year there she entered Fairland H. S. as a Sophomore. She completed her Sophomore and ylunior years at Fairland and left there to enter Moral as a Senior. She has been an active member in all social functions and never avoided any part which happened to fall on her. It has always been her ambition to graduate from high school. john Sleeth attended common school in the school house known as Green- bav. From there he graduated in the year of 'Z0. He entered Shelbyville H. S. the following fall. Here John spent his Freshman and Sophomore years. His lunior year was spent at Acton. VVhile attending Shelbyville he was found to be a diligent student. He also took part in the activities of that school and comes to Moral as a basketball player. During his Senior vear at Moral he has put forth his effort to make Moral school and likewise his Senior class a success. Caleta Farnest attended common school in llrandywine township, Han- cock county, and graduated from school at Riley's Little Town of Tailholtf' She entered high school at New Palestine, in the same county. Here she spent her first three years of high school. She entered Moral as a Senior. l'ere she was very active among the members of the High School. She was chosen president ofthe class and has taken much interest in the school. Arthur McNamara graduated from Center School in the year of 'l8. lle entered the Fairland H. S. the fall following. Here he spent his Fresh- man year. During the summer he went to Kansas, and from there to Cali- ----1 9 2 4-1 Page twenty-one MORAL fornia to spend a year. Therefore he omitted two years of school, but re- turning again, he entered Fairland as a Sophomore. The next year he de- cided to go to New Palestine to complete his junior year and then came to Moral as a Senior. Arthur is always studious and is one who has taken an interest in his classmates. Charles Phares graduated from Murnan common school in the year of '20. He entered high school at New Palestine the following fall. Here he completed his Freshman, Sophomore and Junior years, leaving there to enter Moral as a Senior. He has taken a part in everything to make Moral school a success and to make his class the best that will ever graduate from Moral. Thelma Valentine graduated from Precinct school in Van Buren town- ship. In the fall of '20 she entered high school at Fountaintown. Here she spent her Freshman and Sophomore years, then entered New Palestine for the Junior year. Here she was very active in the school affairs. In the fall of '23 she entered Moral H. S. to complete her high school. Thelma should receive no small measure of honor, since it has been she who as business manager of the Moral did contribute much of her time to help the edi- tor out. Donald Valentine graduated from the Precinct school, also graduating from here in the spring of '2O.' The following fall he entered high school at Fountaintown. Here he spent his first two years of high school. Then he went to Palestine for his junior year and from there he entered Moral. Donald is a very studious young fellow and has taken active part in all things. Margaret King graduated from common school at Brookfield in the spring of '2O. She entered Acton High School the following fall. Here Margaret spent her Hrst three years and left there as a Senior to enter Moral. Margaret is very studious and has tried to make her Senior year a success. Lenore Sleeth came to Moral from Flat Rock School. She graduated from school at Norristown and then entered Flat Rock High School. Here she spent three years of work. This school not being commissioned, it was necessary that she enter another school to graduate and much to the honor of the class of '24 she chose Moral. She has taken much interest in this school and her classmates. This is the last but not the least of the class of '24. These eleven sturdy young people organized their class at the beginning of the school year and they have undertaken many things. They chose as their class flower the American Beauty rose and their motto is Launched but not anchored. f?

A l was partaking of a vision Of the class of twenty-four: he class I cared for mostly, And one whom all adore. T I was attending a class reunion In the spring of thirty-three, And there each member of the class I did so plainly see. Again, I looked from the window, And a bird came tiying' byg 'Tis this it seemed to tell me, XYhile on its journey high. Donald will be a lawyer Qi' fame and great renowng Arthur will be a mechanic In a very famous town. Thelma will be teaching Mathematics in the state of Ten- IICSSCCQ Lenore will be keeping house. So the birdie said to me. Roy will be the principal In the dear old Moral Hi Dorothy will be violinist In an orchestra near by. sh 9 john will be in a bakery llaking cakes and pics: And Margaret will be selli To each one passing by. ng them Noble will be a physician In a nearby town 3 Charles will be a minister Known the world around. just then the birdie left me, And my vision fading grew, But the blessing remained with me ever, Bringing precious joys anew. XYhile I sat there musing The clock struck the hour for work, And with my duties ever ready- A nurse has no time to shirk. Up I spring to duty, And let the vision passg llut still I held sweet memories Of that dear old Senior Class. -1-1 9 24-1- Page twenty-four MORAL rape 5 YU U if '- .- '.: 3 Q : .2 .- .E ,- .- - 'ff 44 f- .- U r-1 Y: U V1 5 F: .- 'fl : .o Ll' cd C'- S U U O 4-f U1 U W rn U Lik Name 1 0 4-4 TE E3 '3 59 EH,- wiht! --53: Omqcn E4- CUM' -.-.

Blanch Rush LT.i-4 CLASS HISTORY Early in the fall of 1923, a group of eager-to-learns, nine in number, rushed through the doors of our new Moral High to assemble as juniors. Blanch llush thought best not to begin Monday, so she entered on the fol- lowing XYednesday, thus making the total number ten. In our class there are scholars from five different high schools. Those from lfairland are Irene lValker, lllanch llush, Lucile Harrell, Kenneth King and Earl Means. David l'fendler gave up his school at Shelbyville to join us, and Gertrude Rhoades, having spent her Freshman and Sophomore years at lfountaintown, came and joined our ranks. Mabel Gould, llarry Huffman and Selby llouse hailed from Acton. About two weeks after we organized our class we chose for sponsor our music and art teacher, Mrs. Hack. XYe chose blue and white for our class colors and the white carnation for our class liower. Our motto is B sharp, ll natural, but never ll Hat. NYC are very proud of our school. XYe intend climbing the ladder until we reach the top. Although we hope to graduate and leave this school next year we will never forget the wonderful times we have had at our dear old Moral lligh. --1 9 2 4-- Page twenty-six MORAL - I O re baugh's Photo Standing Qleft to rightj-Selby House, Harry Huffman, David Pfendler, Mabel Gould, Earl Means, Kenneth King.

The class consisted of pupils from the various neighboring schools. Kenneth Parker, Carl XYalton and Delores Andrews were from lfairland. Gladys lllcllonald came from Shelbyville. New lilethel ceded to us Elbert Toon. Acton gave us Nina Kroening and Lelia McCormick. Lula Fritts, Ellen McNamara and Harold Smith came from New Palestine. Fountain- town gave to us our class president, lleryl Rhoades. XYe have given a Wiener roast which was a successful event. XYe enter- tained the other students two Friday mornings when we gave opening exercises. XYe have two talented musicians. Gladys lllcllonald and Lula Fritts both are orchestra members. Our choice for class colors was pink and silver. The white lily was chosen for our class flower because it denotes purity. Our motto is The higher we climb the grander the view. -11 9 2 4- Page twenty-eight MCRAL 0relmugh's Photo Top Row tleft to right!-Harold Smith. Kenneth Parker.

The class con- sisted of twenty-two. There were eleven boys and eleven girls. This attend- ance is due to iinproveinents in the equipment for education. Perhaps the greatest factor was the completion of the new school building: modern in every way and adequately equipped. The aim of the Freshmen, individually and as a group, is to make the hest Class that ever will he graduated from Moral. 1-1 9 2 41 Page thirty t MORAL Orehaupzh's Photo Top Row tleft to right!-Raymond Yarling, George Kissel.

The team has made a good record for this first year's playing. They have played fourteen games, winning eight of these. They have taken part in two tourneys, Moral and VValdron, but failed to win either. They reached the finals in the Moral tourney and lost the first game at XYaldron. Even at that we are proud of our Moral team. Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah-NVhol Team-XVho-Team, Team, Team!

MORAL NEWSPAPER COMMENTS Moral also came through with the only girl female cheer leader of the tournament. She knew her stuff and led the rooters with all of the gestures and pep that any boy might have. Moral township scored its second one-point victory of the tournament in the 11 0'clock clash with NVestport this morning. Moral came through a win- ner, 14-13, in a game which provided the thrills for the large crowd which had gathered for the morning session. The teams battled desperately from the start and at half-time were on even terms, 10-10. In the last period, Moral forged ahead and with only a few minutes to go was out in front, with a three-point lead. Moir's long field goal put 1Yestport back in the running, but some clever stalling by the Shelby county tossers sent the Vifestport lads to the showers, defeated by one point.

Sleeth, of Moral Township. and Marshall, of XYaldron, were two nifty players who took part in the sectional tourney last week. llouse, Moral Township center, was also of more than ordinary ability. He is fast on his feet and handles the ball well, and gets down the floor fast on his dribbles. Moral Wins Long One The Moral Township quintet was forced to battle hard for a one-point decision, 11-10, in the first overtime game of the tourney, which was staged at 7:30 o'clock Friday evening. Boggstown, Moral's opponent in the ex- tended contest, was leading at the half, 4-1, but in the last period, Moral evened things up and at the end of the regular playing session, the score was 9 all. Moral scored a field goal and Boggstown counted from the foul line in the overtime. The teams both played defensive games and the first ten minutes went scoreless.

The first half ended with Moral on the short end of a 10-8 score. In the second period the Greens- burg offense broke through Moral for nineteen points. Moral got ten. And a good team went out. Moral to Semi-Finals The fighting, fast-fiying Moral Township outfit worked its way into the semi-finals by defeating the XN'estport squad in as thrilling a game as had been seen in the tournament. The final score was 14 to 13. At the half the two teams were tied, with ten points each. In the second period the guarding of the two squads was close, and but few opportunities for goal shooting were afforded. Sleeth, for Moral, got away for three goals from the field. The game was marred by the first accident of the tourney. A. Davis, VVestport center, fell to the Hoor during a scrimmage with an injury to his ankle. It was later announced that the bones in his ankle had been broken. Moral Township, a dark horse of the Shelbyville tourney, was on the verge of upsetting Cireensburgs hopes for the second time of the meeting this afternoon when it forged ahead at the 3:00 o'clock semi-final game, hold- ing the large end of a 5-3 score at the end of 3 minutes. The half found Greensburg leading 10-8. The Tree Town team put over a drive in the sec- ond half that won the game. K Boggstown Nosed Out One of the most interesting contests of the sectional was the overtime struggle between lioggstown and Moral Township Friday night. Moral, after trailing, 4 to 1, at the close of the first period, staged a comeback in the second half, which ended with the time period. Sleeth. Moral forward, got one from the field, while the best Boggstown could do was to get a foul goal. The two teams kept the crowd of fans interested throughout. lioth teams were off on their basket shots. Shot after shot failed to connect. The guards were hurrying the forwards in their shooting, account- ing for many of the misses. lloggstown got three field goals and Moral counted four. Sleeth, red-headed forward, was the big noise for Moral, getting three of the four field goals made by his team. He was fast and hard to stop. Ilouse, Moral center, made a good running mate for Sleeth. The Moral Township team was about the fightin'est gang that showed hcre last week end. The boys from the township high school scrapped and scrapped some more. Although it appeared in several of their games that they were doomed to defeat, they came back with the needed amount of fight and pep to carry them through. Residents of the township are strong for the team. li 9 2 4- Page forty mf MORAL XM ITERA Y lf! V ff' ,f ' s J- 'k3 f+ , gi.-y -'IZQL -1-192 -- MORAL JUST SCHOOL DAYS Bobbie Green, a tall, freckle-faced lad of about 17, was walking slowly home from school. It was a cold day in January, and he was thinking of his experiences at school that day. Examination papers had been handed back that day. Bobbie had Hunked in Algebra, and, of course, he was not in any good humor when Edith Cook, the girl across the aisle, saw his grade and remarked, My, but you are a bright one: why, Billie made lO0. Bobbie's face flushed with anger. lle didn't like Edith and he was just ready to make a saucy reply when he remembered his New Year's resolution, Count ten before you speak. So he kept saying over and over again, One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, until class was dismissed. There a sudden thought came to him-why not quit school? He was beginning to think that Edith was right and he would have to work harder than ever now. As he was walking home, who must he meet but Edith and Billie com- ing from the postoffice. Billie was eagerly telling Edith about a letter he had just received from his parents and what they had said about his win- ning a scholarship. The last words Bobbie heard Billie say were, And l'll bet I get it, too! just like magic a thought came to Bobbie's mind which caused him to mutter to himself, NVell, 1'll bet you don't get it, Billie Craig. But again he thought of his failure and the hot tears filled his eyes as he said, It's no use to try. just then he passed two little girls who were talking about their Christ- mas gifts. He heard one of them say, Never give up, dear, you may get it et. y Bobbiels face brightened as he hastened home. The next morning he was back at school, but he was so different that he caused everyone to re- mark, X'Vonder what Bobbie has got up his sleeve now. That morning Mr. Brown, the principal, asked to see the hands of those who knew a good motto for a student. Bobbie's hand went up and everyone giggled. Billie Craig whispered to Edith, loud enough for Bobbie to hear, 1'll bet it's 'Get your algebraf Bobbie bit his lip to keep still. Mr. Brown said, XVell, Bobbie, what is your motto? Bobbie quickly answered, Never give up. His face flushed, but he began to count one, two, three, four, Five, etc. The months flew by and the last day was at hand. Everyone had worked hard, but Bobbie had surpassed them all this last semester. He was still clinging to his motto, Never give up. Afternoon came and the auditorium was filled with people who had come to hear the speaker and to see the awarding of the scholarship. Everyone was almost breathless toward the end of the speaker's address. Nearly everyone thought that Billie would get the scholarship. But when they called for Bobbie Green to come forward and receive the honors of the school, there was a murmur that went through the crowd and then a bustle. The next day Billy and Edith hurried to a humble little cottage to apol- ogize to the honored lad. Bobbie was only too glad to be friends again with his old schoolmates and to tell them what his wonderful motto had done for him. --1 9 2 4l Page forty-two MORAL 0rebauzh's Photo First Row Qstandingj-Arthur McNamara, A.

It was not so large at the beginning, but is growing all the time, due to the fact that many students have taken up the study of music. The progress of this orchestra is due to Mr. Ciore and Mrs. llack, and under vigorous rehearsing the Orchestra has improved very much. The Orchestra has given a concert to help pay for music and other expenses connected with the school. If this continues to grow as it has for the first year, the school will have an organization to be proud of. lt has grown out of a seeming impos- sibility into a vigorous reality which has helped to spread the fame of Moral School. ---1924--?- MCRAL Standing lleft to rightj-John Sleeth, Dorothy King, Roy Hennis, Selby House, Donald Valentine.

Ted Harding and llilly Cummings, American mining engineers, accompa- nied hy their colored hody servant, Sam, come to work the Shah's gold mine. Ted falls in love with Zohdah. the Shah's daughter, and llilly with Lohlah, Zohdah's friend, while Nowobeh, Zolidah's old nurse, pursues Sam, much to his discomfiture, thinking him her affinity in some other incarnation. The Shah has other plans for Zohdah's future, and re- turns With Somecraba, an Arab sheik, whom he wishes Zohdah to marry. As the story unfolds the Sheik turns out to he flying under false colors, having been compelled to ahdicate his throne. The Shah Ends this out in time and orders the Sheik away, at the same time throwing Ted, llilly and Sam into prison because of their continued attention to Zohdah, Lohlah and Nowobeh. Nowoheh makes the Shah see that hy keeping the Amer- icans in prison he is defeating his own plans in operating his rich gold mine, and so he is persuaded to give his consent to the weddings. As Ted says, f'All's well that ends wellf' and you may soon expect invitations to a triple wedding in the Garden on the Shah. -mul- Page fox ty-eight mf MGRAL Nm S ' E V O Y :GL Q 0 Ill 5 IIIII? + 'uIl'I'I'l la., -mmf. he nral Sum vor.. ssmsaifaai is nssn s U Charming Linen Shower Given for Promised Bride A charming linen shower was given yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Margaret Sleeth in honor of Miss Dorothy King, whose marriage to Kenneth jones, of New York, will take place in this month.

Governor Holeman Issues Procla- mation Which Arouses Na- tion-Wide Interest Much interest was excited in po- litical circles when the papers made public the Governor's proclamation. The great movement excited by his Hery orations previous to his elec- tion was brought to a climax yes- terday when he issued a proclama- tion which will no doubt go down in history as the best and greatest work ever done by any governor. An extract from the proclamation is as follows: It is my firm belief that all school teachers should receive at least S15 per day, and they should receive a pension of 32,000 a year after teach- ing ten years. Although the proclamation was twofold in its purpose. the foregoing extract is by far the most important. Some of our greatest statesmen say that it ranks with Lincoln's Gettys- burg address, and, no doubt, our Governor will in the future stand out prominently as one of the great- est statesmen of our history. Governor Holeman was formerlv the history teacher in Moral High School. mf MGRAL NQLN J N 0 o GOO C O Q, im ! X . f XX KX v '.
