A Answers on Page 72 37 Senior Play The senior play for the year of 1938 was the Broadway success First Lady. ' ' written by Kathrine Dayton and George Kaufman. The play was selected by the Senior Play Committee, consisting of Sue Carr. chairman. Joe Longstreth, Bill Tillson. and Marcia Corrigan, because First Lady was something completely different from the senior plays of past seasons. The play is a brilliant comedy revolving around Washington political society. The lead- ing character is Lucy Chase Wayne, granddaughter of a past United States president and wife of the Secretary of State. She is the social arbiter of Washington and much of the time the so-called power behind the throne. The rivalry between Lucy and Irene Hibberd. the suave and unscrupulous wife of the Supreme Court Judge, provides the main plot of the play. The characters are. in reality, the personification of the distinct types of people found in the nation ' s capital. First Lady played in all the leading cities of the country during the past two or three seasons. Its witty dialogue and rapid repartee have won k a place in the American theatre. This is the first time First Lady has ever been presented in Richmond. The cast, in order of appearance, is as follows: Sophy Prescott Rose Johnson Charles . — John North Emmy Paige Gwendolyn Rankin Lucy Chase Wayne Sue Cart- Stephen Wayne Bill Tillson Belle Hardwick Martha Wilson Mrs. Ives _. — Lois Fuller Ann Forrester __ Marilyn Miller A Congressman ' s Wife Jane Hewitt Her Friend Martha Tiernan A General _.

Possessing an unselfish attitude toward fellow teammates, the squad to a man did all they could for the good of the team. To Coach Tiernan, we say, It is a far greater task to develop manhood and loyalty in a boy than to win all the games in the world, and in this task, you have nobly succeeded. Morton 14, Knightstown 13 — Here Typical opening game raggedness was evi- dent as Morton ' s Red Devils nosed out Knightstown in a thriller. Both the varsity and the reserves were used in uncovering promising candidates. Tom Jay. ace punter, received a knee injury which terminated his playing for the season. Morton 7, Connersville 1 3 — There The first half was Connersville ' s: the sec- ond. Morton ' s; but the 12 point lead piled up by a strong Spartan eleven could not be overcome, despite a great Red Devil rally. Morton 0. Tech. 26 — There Intercepted passes were the rule rather than the exception as Tech ' s big Green Wave overpowered the Red Devils in the first con- ference venture for both teams. The big Tech team took advantage of every opportun- ity to score. Morton 7, New Castle 19 — There An offense which collapsed with the score at seven all resulted in Morton ' s second con- ference setback and a victory for the New Castle Trojans. The game marked Morton ' s first taste of ' 37 floodlight competition. Morton 0, Anderson 13 — Here Before a large home-coming crowd, the Red Devils carried the play until the last half, when an intercepted pass gave the In- dians their break. The Devils fought until the final gun but coudn ' t cross into pay dirt. Morton 0, Muncie 36 — There The Muncie jinx held while the Bearcats ran o ver Morton in the Red Devils ' worst game of the season. Never giving up. the team fought hard but lost. Morton 25, Noblesville — Here Snapping a five-game losing streak, the Red Devils showed decided improvement, both offensively and defensively. With the line opening big holes and the backfield work- ing smoothly, the Red and White gridmen were not to be denied a much-deserved victory. Morton 0. New Castle — Here Rising above all past defeats. Morton met their traditional rivals with equal strength. The team played a game we all knew they were capable of playing and to Erk. Camp, Dawkins. Smith. Rollf. Feeger. Stevens, Ket- nng. Mitrione, and Conti, the seniors, we say. You wrote a glorious finish to your games on old Test field. Morton 13. Plainfield — There Content with grabbing a 1 3 point lead by half time. Morton coasted to victory in their third night game of the season. With a scarcity of both grass and light, dust storms were frequent and visibility zero. Morton 0, Southport 14 — There Ankle deep in sticky mud. the Cardinals outslid the Red Devils before a small rain- soaked crowd in Morton ' s final game of the season. Few noticeable runs were made as smart football gave way to waiting for the breaks. BASKETBALL Morton may well be proud of her team of never say die basketeers who by their cour- ageous and dazzling performances have hung up the best record of any Red and White team since ' 24. Morton 29, Liberty 28 — Here Liberty ' s undefeated Warriors furnished Mor- ton ' s opening game opposition. Although still in need of polishing, the Eberhart men displayed power. Morton 31, Union City 20 — Here Trailing 4-3 at the quarter, the Red Devils moved into high gear and were never headed, as they sank Wildcat hopes under a concentrated basketball bombardment. Morton 30. Greensburg 29 — There Winning in the overtime after tying the count at 28 all. the Red Devils made it three in a row. Morton 25, Jeff ( Lafayette) 29 — There With open shots at a premium, Morton lost their first conference game. Although losing, the Red Devils were in the midst of a courageous rally when the final gun sounded. Morton 42, Winchester 15 — Here Playing brilliant basketball to amass a 16-2 lead at the quarter, the reserves hit on all five to completely drub the Yellow Jackets. Morton 18. Muncie 28 — Here In a thrill-a-minute cord sniping duel, the Red Devils dropped their second conference game, and took defeat like true sportsmen. Morton 34, N ew Castle 17 — Here The Devils won their first North Central contest by manhandling the Trojans. A stiff de- fense was thrown up to hold the Allen men. Morton 3 8 Connersville 15 — There Hitting 7 of 14 attempts in the second quarter, the Red Devils unleashed a torrid basket- cramming act to hand the Spartans their worst defeat ever received from Morton. Evansville Tourney Morton 27, Central (Evans.) Morton 30. Bloomington 20 39 Morton lost to a tall Central team in their afternoon game, but returned to form by out- classing Bloomington in the consolation battle. Morton 16. Rushville 15 — There Plainly showing their sag in their third game in two days, the Red Devils nosed out the Lions by virtue of a last minute free throw. Morton 28, Tech. 22 — There A blazing, passing and driving a ttack brought conference scalp number two as the Red Devils started the new year with a bang. Morton 32, Anderson 30 — Here Lessons in ball handling and basket sniping were given as the Red Devils took a commanding lead and then withstood a last period rally in a most exciting game. Morton 40. Marion 20 — Here Continuing their brilliant passing game, the Devils swamped a strong Marion team, to be- come a contender for the conference crown. Morton 25, Logansport 23 — There The Red Devils rang up their fifth consecu- tive conference victory by piling up a 20-11 lead at the half and staving off a closing Berry rally. Morton 52, Kokomo 32 — Here Working as a single destructive unit, the Red Devils smashed the highly regarded Wildcats, and projected themselves into the thick of the conference fight. Morton 20, Frankfort 22 — T here Having command of the situation until the final 70 seconds when two shots and two field goals turned the tide, the fighting Devils dropped a heart breaker. Morton lead at the hall 11-7. Morton 29, Greenfield 24 — Here The reserves started the game and held their own until midway in the second period when the regulars were called on to subdue the scrappy Greenfield five. Morton 24, New Albany 33 — There Using a fast breaking offense, the Southerners overcame a Morton lead in the final period and finally emerged victorious. Morton 34. New Castle 28 — There Playing their best game of the season, the Trojans held the Red and White to a six point victory. Both teams resorted to a defensive game. Morton 44, Hagerstown 13 — There The Tigers were reduced to mewing kittens by the fast and thick bombardment of the Satan men. The ga me was brought to a climax by the ' reserves, who added insult to injury. Morton 35, Connersville 20 — Here Connersville fell, for the second time, before Morton as the Red Devils closed the books on the best record since 19 24. Sectional Morton met the best the county had to offer and showed all concerned that they were on their way. Hagerstown had their second chance to defeat the Devils in the final game but were greatly outclassed. Regional Leading all the way, the Devils widened the gap in the last half to down Middletown 3 8-30. Next came that never-to-be-forgotten Morton- Muncie game, the Bearcats hitting 1 1 for 22 the first half. Let ' s forget the second half. VS l VS ...W ' -.ii TRACK Faced with the task of building a strong track squad with only three return- ing lettermen, Coach Tiernan uncovered valuable prospects on various fronts. During the past few years, there has been a sharp increase in track interest, and this year ' s crop of candidates reaches a new high in the cinder pastime at Morton. In addition to lettermen Erk, Mendenhall, and Ketring. who are counted on for many blue ribbons, some of the most promising trackmen and their events follows: John Scott, hurdles, broad jump: La Grande Terry and Doug Byrum, hurdles: John Burton, quarter-mile, broad jump: Harlow Haas, high jump: Russell Coulter and Dudley Brusher, pole vault: Bob Hoyt and Wendell Harger, dashes. Summing it all up in four words, we say, The best in years. BASEBALL With Eddie Di Federico and Bob Rollf the only returning lettermen around whom to build another winning team. Coach Sponsler scanned with great care the 60 odd diamond candidates who answered the initial call of bat and glove. After several cuts, the squad was reduced to the above 32 players. The brunt of the twirling will be handled by Ty Berry. Guy Jones, and Ozzie Logan, with Johnny Schneider, fiery, ground-covering infielder, des- tined to fill the big hole at short in great style. Although not overcrowded with lettermen, the squad possesses all the fight and fire of any Morton team, and with a generous supply of underclassmen, there seems to be a bright future ahead for Morton. 51 GOLF The big ten meet held in the fall at Lafayette found Morton boasting an- other formidable golf team by finishing second to Tech. of Indianapolis. Clayton Bartel laid claim to the number one spot by shooting a dazzling 76 for second low medalist. For the past two years, the McNaughton-coached club wielders have been runners up in the State High School finals, losing by the heartbreaking margin of one stroke on both occasions. This year ' s squad composed of Clayton Bartel, Allen Coulter, Alder Hankosky, Lawrence Harris, Dick Land, and Al Nicolletta is determined to avenge the defeats of the past years, and bring home the State Championship. Since Mac took over the team eight years ago, it has been a constant source of fame-bringing for Morton. The team holds the long-standing Tri- state Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky record of 299 or 74 per man and the Big Ten record of 3 1 2 strokes per team. The Divot Diggers are the most consistent contributors to the athletic trophy case. 52 TENNIS With tennis gaining increased popularity in the ranks of Morton athletics, due to its becoming a major sport, more than the usual interest was evident by the large number of candidates battling for positions. A stiff schedule has been drawn up. and by all indications. Morton will have one of the strongest teams in recent years. The year 19 38 marked Elder Eberhart ' s first as tennis coach. INTRA-MURAL The play in the three leagues continued over a period of four months and afforded the opportunity for over one hundred fifty boys to take part. Climaxing the regular season ' s play was the all school tourney, an event which aroused much interest throughout the school. The final game played at the Coliseum found the Dorner advisory gaining a 15-14 decision over the Robertson team in a thrill-packed battle.

Mr. McNaughton suggested to the Girls ' Booster Club the idea of an organized cheering section at the basketball games. The plan met with in- stant enthusiasm on the part of the club. Thus Block M was organized for the basketball season of 1933-34 under the sponsorship of Mr. McNaughton and Miss Huber. Now sixty-six members from the Girls ' Booster Club are chosen for the group, preference being given to juniors and seniors. The rule of seniority has applied in distributing the best seats. All the Block M girls were first required to wear white blouses or sweat- ers. This year, for the first time, an outfit with white knit blouses and red scarfs was adopted, giving the section a much more uniform appearance. The girls practiced once a week all during the basketball season. Amelia Rodefeld, the director of Block M this year, was in charge of working out the schedules of cheers. Under her leadership, the cheering section gained recog- nition for excellence. Block M leads in the school cheering at the games, and also does group cheers. Various cheers are done in unison with precision turns, sitting, and standing. Many of the cheers are worked out with large red and white cards with which the girls spell out the names of the visiting teams and our own school cheers. One unusual stunt is the formation of a large red devil head. Well known cheers are: the Buzz-Saw, the Balloon Cheer, the Ziz-Zag, and the Echo Cheer. This year Block M gave its first out-of-town performance at the Muncie regionals. The group, sent to Muncie by the Richmond Merchants ' Associa- tion, had the distinction of being the only organized cheering section at the regionals. Dramatic Society The Morton Dramatic Society is the oldest club in Morton, having been organized about 1908 by Mr. Benjamin Kelly. It has been sponsored by Miss Finfrock for quite a number of years. The members are chosen from try-outs and membership is limited to thirty students. This year the president of the club is Joe Longstreth, the vice-president. Sue Carr. and the secretary. Bill Tillson. The club meets every other week and the usual programs have included speakers on the latest dramatics, plays dramatized by members of the club, and group pantomimes. Each year the Society produces one public performance.
