Our aim as a class has been to leave nothing undone which would make the class of ‘‘22” the best yet, and it is with this spirit that we have overcome many obstacles to attain our final result. We have had at all times the co-opera- tion of the staffs, the school body; in fact, the support of all those who were in any way interested. We have been greatly aided in a financial way by the local business men, and we wish to thank them for their liberal support which is especially noteworthy when the serious business depres- sion of the past year is considered. As we now present this Hoop-Pole to you we present a product of which we he are proud and which we hope will prove of much interest to you. z ih THE HOOP POLE WE: (Ta) thy CLASS OFFICERS First Semester CARL BASLER LUCILE PAGE President Secretary-Treasurer PAUL DIETZ MARY CLEMENTS Vice-President Chairman of Social Committee CLASS OFFICERS Second Semester CARL BASLER CARL SCHNEIDER President Treasurer MILDRED L.

Page TwentyeThree Page Twenty-Four Class Poem Here’s to the class of ’22 A place in life demanding, With hearts that are true And will to do That surpasses understanding. Here’s to the classs and the colors we chose To place with those preceding, We’ll meet our foes And results disclose For in strife we’ll always be leading. Here’s to the class and the motto we give To those who are left in the strife: It will courage give To know that we live, Not for ourselves but for life. Here’s to the class, over fifty strong May we know no rivalry, With our colors and song May we never go wrong Here’s to the Emeral and Ivory. —Ruth Davis. i$ THe Hoe Poe Class History The Diary of the Happenings and Accomplishments of the Class of ’22 September 4, 1918—-Hearing a great buzz, like mosquitoes in a rain barrel in May, down at the Senate (or Junior High School) | turned my steps in that direction and arriving there just as the entrance gong sounded, | en- tered with the crowd. A considerable number of strangers graced the seats, and I at once deemed that they were foreigners. Some, however, I had seen in different stations during my last visit, which had been in the spring. These foreigners looked as cheerful as could be expected of them under the circum- stances. They were silent and timid, while the natives approached extinc- tion because of intense curiosity. September 5—At last the regulations and rules have begun to be com- prehended, each member has set himself diligently about his chosen tasks; | having been persuaded to add my person to the already goodly number. September 30—By this time all the foreign members have learned the names of the autocratic pedagogues, and have discarded so much of their | reserved nature, that the male division venture to address the fair sex in | poetic language; while the latter gossip incessantly with all and about every- thing (or nothing). | October 15—Calamity!! School is closed indefinitely on account of an unknown empidemic called Influenza. January 2, 1919—Christmas vacation over. Flu epidemic over. The new year has come in and brought with it great fears to the members of the Senate, for rumors have circulated themselves that a certain delegation of persons from the Senate will be sent to the Senior High School, where terri- ble dangers lurk. January 14—This morning, with tearful eyes and saddened hearts, we bid hopeless adieus to the little company doomed to the fearful trip. We have as yet received no definite word as to their fate at three o’clock this af- ternoon, except that there was much noise and commotion reported to come from those quarters. Because of this calamity a mutual friendship has sprung up in the hearts of all the members; foreigners and natives are as one. | Jan uary 15—Trustworthy reports have come that the ill-fated com- pany has been found and not a member was missing though several apparent- ly felt diminished. April 1—Lo! our class knoweth no bounds! A worthy publication called the Hoop-Pole Junior has sprung into existence over at the Senior High, and two members of our class have been appointed to important posi- tions on the Editorial Staff. May 26—Not much done the last few days. This being class day at Senior High, we were invited to attend the court session this afternoon. Curiosity triumphed over fear and we bodly approached our future home to see the action of those queer animals called Seniors. It was a grand affair but we were disappointed as the Seniors, neither wore Crowns nor were they clothed in cloth of gold as we had expected. All over, we set about with joy to enter upon vacation. Page Twenty-Five it THE HooP POLES ie September 5, 1919-——Vacation over we are back at work again, but this time not as Freshies, as certain individuals delighted to allude to us last year; —lucky for us, too, for now we are all basking in the glory of Senior High. Any initiations? Well, not exactly, but some realistic imitations—never- theless we are sophomores. Since the dawn of history, sophomores have, as a rule not studied to the detriment of health; and we have all agreed not to break the old estab- lished custom. So we enter upon our tasks. New teachers face us inquir- inly. September 21—We are proving our ability to uphold the sophomore standard by studying little and feeling big. January 15, 1902—Christmas again has passed and New Year’s Reso- lutions broken; but we, the Sophomores have not broken ours—that is, to do no abundance of work. April 16—Again is our class overpowered with joy. An operetta called ‘‘The Nautical Knot’’ was presented bv the Glee Club last evening and it received great mention; severel sophomores played important parts. Again has the world seen our ability and taken advantage of it. April 21—Calamity! Several of the Sophomore class were shot this morning! Yes, we all were—by the camera. We all paraded to the library steps, (as per ancient custom) were unruly, had our pictures taken and, re- tunred much refreshed by the intoxicating air. May 20—Class day exercises. Very interesting, but much ado about nothing, we deemed it. The Seniors looked important especially the one whose privilege it was to receive the Hoop-Pole, in a ceremony installed today, called the Hoop- Pole Ceremony. At last school days are over for another three short months; during which time we intend to rest from strenuous activity. I}] September 3, 1920—Ah, we are Juniors! Yes school begins today, and we enter service as haughty Juniors. My, how well the verse from Shake- speare holds true— : That lowiness is young Ambition’s ladder, Whereto the climber- upward turns his face; But when he once attains the upmost round He then unto the ladder turns his back, Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees By which he did ascend. Certainly we look down upon the lowly Freshmen and pretentions Sopho- mores. Page Twenty-Six 0S September 20—By this time we have found, to our sorrow, that the Sophomore rule of little study will not work this year; so we have voted amendments to it, and have begun their observance. October 1—The Athletic division of Mt. Vernon High school has or. ganized a foot ball team—the first for a long time. On this team are sev- eral members of our worthy class; and they look forwa rd to overwhelming success, November 1 1—Several students from M. V. H.S. celebrated Armistice Day. January 15, 1921—-Second semester begins this morning. No time to play. Our class is thinking'of plans for social-activities to be held in the spring. Our foot ball team has been disbanded without achieveing success. March 27—“‘The Garden of the Shah” is to be presented by the Glee Club this evening, and its success is certain, for all principal part are playea by the Juniors; our class has never yet failed in any undertaking May 19——-Much noise about the House of Learning today, for this is Senior class day. There is going to be some little excitement tomorrow, too, for we, the Juniors, are going to have our picnic. May 30—‘‘Just look at the Fords.’? somebody says. Yes, they are to take the Juniors to Mackev’s Ferry on the Wabash for their picnic. We start at four o’clock, so I will have to hurridly close this entry in my Diary, with a happy time in view, both picnic and vacation. IV. September 21, 1921——Step around Freshies, we are Seniors! You bet we are! There never was a Senior class just as wise, just as dignified, and just as decorus as are we. September 29—-Today the Senior class begins its actual career, by electing class officers. There is only one! detriment to the happiness and glory of the Seniors at present and that is the nely conceived plan of broken family circles. October 15—President Basler demonstrated his executive ability this afternoon, by presiding at a meeting of the Seniors to select the class colors and flower. After much sage exhortation and explanation Emerald and Ivory were selected as colors and the Creme Rose as the flower. October 31—My, the morning after the night before! But we had fun at our Hallowe’en party at Dietz’s Hall. Certainly. soooks and witches and all the spirits of the underworld were well represented. December 27——Did we enjoy the Christmas party at Hovey’s? Well, rather! January 23. 1922—Again are we, the Senior class. assembled in the famous Hall of Wisdom eager to hevin our last semester’s work in M. V. H. S.— (if we are all fortunate-) Work has already begun on our Hoop-Pole and we have planned to make it the biggest and best ever conceived. Page Twenty-Seyen Ci THE Hoop POLE TM February 3—‘‘What’s this?’’ This morning all Seniors marched into the assembly with little three-cornered hats of Ivory and Green, donned with all severe importance, and with notable ability, charged themselves with the performance of the morning exercises. When it comes to entertaining abili- ty you need not seek outside our Senior class. February 25—-Where can you find Posey County’s champion basket ball team? Just look in M. V. H. S. and see too, that three of its greatest players are members of ’22. We are going to take away two star members of the Girls’ team. We know ’22 will be missed. March 17—Much people thronged the halls of old M. V. H. S. yester even and great right had they todo so. To greet the dramatic event of the year. On this date everybody saw ‘‘Her Husband’s Wife.’’ So unanimous was its acceptance that we were told to keep an open date for March 31. March 31—More members of ’22 demonstrated their talent by giving away stage secrets in presenting ‘‘The Dress Rehearsal.”’ April 28—Again has M. V. H. S. worn laurels; again has the class of ’22 reason to be proud for last night ‘‘Bob White,” an operetta, was presented successfully by the Glee Club. Many of the leading characters were played by Seniors. May 21—Today is the gala day for the Seniors, for it is class day. As we arrange our little program which is to be our good-bye to M. V. H. S. forever, we begin to realize what that means. The joy of last day of school for which we have so long waited in anticipation, has not materialized— rather we feel a lump rise in our throats as we look back upon the pleasures and perhaps, little difficulties gone by. But we must not dwell in the past; the future, bright and glorious, we hope, lies before us. If we meet with any- thing but success, it is our fault. ' _ So good-bye little book I shall make no more entries but shall open you often to recall the happy past. Page Twenty-Eight mah) THE HOOP POLE Ms The Prophecy Last night as I lay on my pillow, tossing about in troubled sleep, I had a most remarkable dream. My dream, like my slumbers, was broken, but there was a thread of a story through the whole of it. The strangeness of it and what was to be most wondered at, was the fact that in some way or other every member of the class of ‘‘22” appeared in this dream. | told several of my classmates of this peculiar vision and they insisted that I go to a sooth- Sayer and tell her of it. They thought that probably she could tell me whether or not there was any particular meaning in it. So one day I went to the abode of the sooth-sayer and related to her my dream and the circum- Stances attending it. She told me that it was very evident that this dream was a prophecy and would come true in due time. For this reason | believe my dream is worth relating as every one is interested in the class OL 1922: This is my dream: Ruth Davis was head of the History department at the largest college of the middle west. Martin Rhoads was a great cartoonist and his cartoons were in every Prominent newspaper of the country. Jess Powers and Ellwood Smith were traveling the globe with a min- Sstrel show. They were the most popular entertainers of the day. David Benthall was an athletic instructor. He was coaching a team that had never met defeat. Edith Green had become a movie actress. After many years of strug- gle she had finally attained the zenith of her hopes and was leading lady in all Ben Turpin’s comedies, playing opposite Ben, himself. Charlotte Rosenbaum and Mada Goeltz were two old spinsters running a matrimonial bureau and they had found mates for several members of the Class. of “122: Carl Rothrock was a lion-tamer in Barnum-Bailey’s circus. He won the admiration of many with his heroic deeds. French Copeland was also traveling with the circus. He had introduced in the circus performance, a new feature of riding tight ropes with a Ford. Herbert Duncan was a great Historian. His works were used in all High schools, having far surpassed Bassetts’. Harold Seibert was traveling around to small towns selling patent-medi- cines. His winning ways and stove-pipe hat could convivnce all that he had the medicine they needed. Mildred Bailey had become a great musician and Charles Lawrence had succeeded his father in the grocery business. They still lived across the street from each other and were still good friends. Clinton Maurer was a congressman. I saw him sitting serenely while nominations were in progress for a certain committee, when he rose, it seemed mechanically, and moved the nominations be closed. Helen Reicken was a great poet and many of her poems had been set to music. Helen Hovey and Paul Dietz had been engaged to be married but Helen suddenly changed her mind and deserted him at the altar. After that Paul became a hermit while Helen left for Africa, where she had longed to go ever since she had read “‘Tarzan of the Apes.”’ Page Twenty-Nine THe oor POLES) Dorothea Dietz was a great playwright. She wrote only comedies and some of her plays were being played on Broadway nearly every day. Blanche Carson was the head of a girls’ boarding school. She was known for having one of the best disciplined schools of the country. Roy Dawson, after making himself famous in the Senate as a great ora- tor ranking along with Clay and Webster, had become foreign minister to Great Britian but his dear little wife, Lucile, was waiting for him in Solitude. Gertrude Williams was a missionary to the island of Samoa. She melted many heathen hearts and the whole island was fast becoming Civ1- lized. ; Carl Basler was a newspaper editor and was well known for his great editorials. He was married too—but here my memory fails. 1 was evidently aroused from my slumbers for a short while. I was soon dreaming again and next I saw Alvin Grabert who had be- come a great lecturer. He made most of his lectures out in the open as his voice had too much volume to be confined to the four walls of an ordinary sized auditorium. Manford Stein was setting styles for men’s dress and he wrote many magazine and newspaper articles on the subject. Gladys Smith was a well known New York hair dresser. She was using her secret method of having a permanent wave that she had used in High school. Mary Kennedy, who was so gifted with a great imagination, was writ- ing children’s fairy tales. Another meeting of the Peace Conference was about to be held and Walter Aylsworth had been chosen president and Mabel Walling was his pri- vate secretary. Mildred Rowe had moved to California and had married a railroad president. Arthur Roos was at the head of an Information Bureau. He said he had many questions to answer but the one that he found most difficult was how a young man should ¢o about asking to take a young ladv to a party. Hazel Ashworth was an astronomer. At times she would become so deeply engrossed in her study that if she were questioned as to the heavens she would only answer ‘‘Starless.”’ Carl Kiel was Mt. Vernon’s leading druggist. He was often known to allow a-young clerk to fill a prescription while he sold cosmetics to a_ pretty girl.

They specialized in hamburger and wiener sandwiches, with cut rates for all High school students. Carl Schneider, who had neither been born great nor had had greatness thrust upon him, had achieved greatness as chief of the Mt. Vernon police force. No criminal escaped his clutches and all vagabonds evaded Mt. Ver- non as much as possible. Mary Lloyd Abell was the proprietress of a large cash and carry grocery. Flora Davis was a trained nurse and was much loved by all her patients. Rasil McFadden, after an agriculture course in Purdue University, now held Mr. Stubb’s position in M. V. H. S.

Irene Randolph—The wife who imagines she is ill and who has iried six doctors all of whom agree that nothing is the matter with her. Played by Mary Ann Crowder. Emily Ladew—Irene’s best friend whom she selects as her husband’s wife because she is so simple and sweet and dowdy but who turns out to be a regular bird of Paradise . Played by Lillie Brinkman.

Page Thirty-Five tT oor POLE ELE PLAY: The class of ’22 on March 17, 1922, scored its usual success when it presented A. E. Thomas’ ‘“‘Her Husband’s Wife.’’ This was proved by the un- usually large crowd that came to see the performance and went away in a happy mood. The play itself was a light, clean comedy with humorous situations throughout and kept the audience in a good humor during the evening. The characters were well selected and each one took his part as if he had been that kind of character all his life. Mary Ann Crowder had a very difficult role but she played her emotion- al scenes remarkably well for an amateur. Her sudden change from a fail- ing weak woman, to an angry or jealous wife were skillfully managed. Roy Dawson had an unusually difficut part as he had to occupy the stage for almost the entire evening. His amused and tolerant attitude toward the foolish whim of his niece was well portrayed. The audience sympathized with his several attempts to escape from his embarrassing situations. Paul Dietz took the part of the happy young husband to perfection. He was light hearted and gay and never once suspected his wife’s foolish notion. He was the real dutiful husband and obliging host. He was so real in his pre- tending to be the kind of husband that Irene had described him that we won- der she didn’t learn the lesson he was trying to teach. Lillie Brinkman showed her real spirit as an actor when she was willing to appear first as a plain, colorless little woman. But then who wouldn’t have done so in order to appear as she did in the next acts, as a beautiful lady from Paris! Her voice and poise were noticeable. Clinton Maurer made a very striking appearance on the stage. His good looks and his wonderful voice fitted the part he played. Mada Goeltz was a most charming little maid. One of the features of the play was the singing of the class song by the entire class. This is the largest class in the history of the school and they made a splendid appearance when they appeared all together. The High school orchestra, under the direction of Miss Pickerl furnished music between acts. Page Thirty-Six NK 1922 Mme Cee SOue Act I.

Page Forty-Four i THE HOOP Poce NS Page Forty-Five THE Hor POLE 187 The Hoop-Pole Ceremony PRESENTATION SPEECH by PRESIDENT CARL BASLER For four years we have worked faithfully and patiently, always look- ing forward to this time. We have felt, as underclassmen, that on this day we would be happy because it would mean a step to something bigger and as we thought better. We have now reached this goal and stand on the portals of M. V. H. S. ready to leave forever, we feel a regret that can not be ex- pressed. It seems almost impossible to find in the world the companionship and joys we have had in old M. V. H. S. For the past year we have had the Ivory and Emerald and the red and . white hanging here to signify that this was our year. During this time it has been our duty and our pleasure to accept the leadership of the school. We feel that during this time we have accomplished much that adds to the laurels of our school and because of this we have the right to add our colors to these on the Hoop-Pole and take our place among the honored alumni. No one wants to be forgotten and we hope that you will hold this trust sacred and pass it on with the same feeling. Now we leave this Hoop-Pole with you and we sincerely hope that dur- ing the next year your achievements will be many and your disappointments few, so that you will feel justly proud of your colors hanging before the school. Much will be expected of you but | believe that vou will bear the re- sponsibility well and when the time comes for you to add your colors to this Hoop-Pole you will have earned your reward. SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE by CHARLES T. ROWE, President of Junior Class We accept the responsibility you have placed upon us, not so much as a responsibility as an honor. Next year, when we place our colors there be- side the red and white, we shall try to show the same spirit you have shown —we shall try to uphold the school for which those colors stand. If we suc- ceed we shall feel as proud as you should now feel. If we fail we shall strike our Colors and no longer hope to occupy the high place that will be ours when you are gone, | | When we see your colors mingling with the colors of the classes past they will remind us of you. You have our true love and loyalty and we wish you success in the future, j a tena eee RL oe Ca ee Page Forty-six [t__ THE HOOP POLE Ne Music Hath Charms.

They drift, by chance, to the home of a well-to-do Quaker farmer, who gives them work. In the meantime Claire Livingston, a society belle, has learned of their plight and wishing to cast her nets for Tre Billion , has found her way to the home of the Farmer Rodd also. She meets Goldenrod, the pretty daughter of the Farmer Rodd, and tells her of her love for one of the tramps. Goldenrod then confides in her and tells her the story of how her father wishes her to marry Lord Bashful and how she loves Jack Hearty, a farmer boy. Claire sets her plot. She is to help Goldenrod out of her trouble and Goldenrod is to disguise her as a milk- maid. But Jack leaves the country and his love, to make his way in the world. The tramps do not recognize Claire in her disguise and Tre Billion be- comes a victim of her charms. Between Claire, who is using the name of Bob White in her disguise, and Farmer Rodd, the Tramps are kept on the run. They get into all kinds of trouble but Bob is always on hand to get them out. In the third act Jack returns to Goldenrod and her father consents to their marriage. Lord Bashful is left to the winning smiles of Miss Autumn. Tre Billion and Van Million return to their home. All their country friends come to see them and Bob White identifies herself and the day ends with a promise of many happy marriages.

Days and nights of practicing under the direction of Miss Mary Pickerl and Miss Nelle Rimstidt did much towards the success of this operetta. Miss Pickerl had charge of the music of this production while Miss Rimstidt super- vised the speaking parts and costuming. eee The audience was agreeably surprised that children so young could be - trained to so effectively portray the part given them. Another noticeable. feature was that although a hundred young children were in this production there was perfect order. The wonderful response from the children really made the operetta. . HEE UOr Prince Charming has a dream in which he imagines himself in Cloud- land. Here he falls in love with a beautiful girl whom he sees coming down the Milky Way in an auto. Unfortunately, Jack and Jill stumble in the path of the car and his Dream Girl is upset. Prince Charming leads Jack and Jill to St. Valentine’s garden where he learns that his Dream Girl is none other than Molly, one of the various earth maidens for whom he has a fondness. St. Valentine and Cupid suggest a plan of winning Molly through the aid of valentines. Prince Charming accepts the plan and rides away to earth with Cupid in his moon_boat. inane When the Prince awakens, he determines to carry out the idea of his dream and to give Molly a novel surprise through which he hopes to win her. He engages the services of Molly’s young brother, Jack, and .the latter’s sweetheart, Jill. They plana Valentine party. First the Indians are intro- duced to frighten Molly into saying yes; but as she is obdurate, the Valentines are called in to bind her up with ribbons.

Foot Ball Before school opened several of the pig-skin warriors were planning for the opening of the foot ball season. Several of the veterans of last year’s team were to try out for the team. Prospects were bright and every one was enthusiastic. They could be seen on vacant lots punting, passing and falling on the ball. At last Coach Stubbs gave a call for candidates to report for practice at the Rosenbaum field which was to be the gridiron for the team. About thirty reported to try for the team. After three weeks of practice Coach Stubbs arranged a practice game with the Alumni. The Alumni had some of the old stars of M. V. H. S. and defeated the team by a score of 7 to 6, their touchdown being made on an in- tercepted forward pass. The next Saturday the team played Morganfield, champions of Ken- tucky in 1920 and held the Kentucky warriors to three touchdowns.

Vernon opened the basket ball-season by playing a practice game with Oakland City College. The team was ahead of the fast college quintet at the end of the first half but with only three nights’ practice the college boys outwinded the team and won 38 to 17. Two weeks later they defeated the boys at Oakland City. Outside of these. two practice games the team went through the season with only two defeats. Mt. Vernon began its schedule by taking six victories from high school teams, then it went to Poseyville and lost 28 to 13. This game always was in doubt as to whether Poseyville won it fairly or not. The teams took this defeat cheerfully and started winning again. The next game was one of the big games when we met Reitz of Evansville. The K. of P. hall was thought to have held the largest crowd that ever witnessed a basket-ball game. The team showed the crowd that they could play basket- ball and sent the Reitz team back to the tune of 42 to 30. On February 3, the team journeyed to Princeton and met the second de- feat of the season by the small score of 20 to 18. Poor goal shooting was the result of the loss of the game. On Saturday night following, our team downed the strong West Baden team in a thrilling contest, 16 to 10. Poseyville was the next big attraction, for M. V. H. S. was surely out for revenge. The wearers of the Red and White downed the Black and White 40 to 22. This was witnessed by the largest crowd in the history of Mt. Ver- non. More than a hundred people were turned away. The game for the Friday night was cancelled so that both teams would be in good shape for the County Tournament on Saturday to be held at Po- seyville. Mt. Vernon was again selected to play Poseyville in the third game of the Tournament. Six teams entered: Mt. Vernon, Poseyville, Stewartsville, New Harmony, Wadesville and Cynthiana. Mt. Vernon again downed Posey- ville 33 to 30. This was the second defeat Poseyville had on their home floor this year. In the final game Mt. Vernon defeated Stewartsville 65 to 15 and this won the county championship and a beautiful Loving Cup donated by the business men of Poseyville. At the sectional tournament Mt. Vernon drew Elberfeld for the first game and easily defeated them by the score of 23 to 11, Huntsman, center, was ill and was unable to play at the sectional. - The second game was between Mt. Vernon and Central High. Central defeated Mt. Vernon 39 to 10 ina hard fought game. Kent and Baldwin, forwards, were given honorable mention at the Sectional Tourney. For the playing of the best team ever represented M. V. H. S., the first team were presented with sweaters the first time in several years. Those who received sweaters were: David Benthall, captain and guard; Carl Schneider, guard; Owen Huntsman, center; Kenneth Kent, forward, and Walter Baldwin, forward. Letters were presented to the subs: Luther Carr, Clinton Maurer, Walter Dickhaut and Nelson Kelley.

Al- though handicapped by a sprained ankle, he was always on hand for the back guard position. He was always boosting the team in any manner possible. it would take a school with a Yell Leader to beat him rooting when on the sideline. DAVID BENTHALL “Old Lady” has been captain of the team for two years. During that time he has led the teams to the highest position yet attained in the history of Mt. Vernon’s basket-ball. With his good nature and kind consideration for all on the team, he has kept the team asa unit and in good playing condition. He is one of the best floor guards that Mt. Vernon ever put out. By his spurts of brilliant action, he took the opponents off their feet. No six-footer could out-jump him at a “held ball.” OWEN HUNTSMAN “‘Country,’’ the star center of our basket-ball team, was the tall boy of team, not only in height, but also in skill. Although he played basket-ball only two seasons, he became very skillful in handling the ball, and very suc- cessful on long shots. He inspired the team to do its best by his exhortations and optimistic smile. Mt. Vernon expects to hear of his basket-ball ability when he goes to college. CARL SCHNEIDER “Preacher” played the position of back guard admirably all season. His quickness and alertness in guarding his opponent and getting the ball were big factors in winning our games. He received many good comments from the spectators. He was a boy that made good in practice and in games showed his determination to play the best basket-ball at all times. He is one of the best guards Mt. Vernon ever had. Page Sixty-Seven CTH OCP POLE TH GIRLS’ BASKET-BALL From a squad of forty girl basket-ball players, comparatively “green material,’’ to the stellar quintet with a season’s record of nine victories and three deteats is a big step, yet such a step marks the development and prog- ress of Mt. Vernon High school girls’ basket-ball team of the 1921-1922 sea- son. Add to this, the fact that the three defeats were administered by the quintet of Central High school of Evansville, a team that is undisputably the champion feminine aggregation of Southern Indiana and a strong contender for state honors, and an idea of the strength of the formidable feminine bearers of the Maroon and White standard is gained. Helen Keck, a graduate of Mt. Vernon High with the class of 1919, 4 star forward on the girls’ basket-ball team of that school in the 1917-1918 and 1918-1919 seasons and captain of the varsity team of The Castle where she attended school following graduation, was this season’s coach. From the squad of forty which dwindled somewhat as the season wore on the first team of Mary O. Wilson, forward; Charlotte Ros2nbaum, guard; Edith Green, captain; Edna Dexheimer, guard, and Lorraine Zimmerman, guard, was selected. As reserve substitutes the quintet depended upon Mary Clements, guard; Mary Louise Turner, forward; Hazel McFadden, forward, and Myra Blackburn and Veryl Stallings, center. The development of the feminine team was rapid. An idea of the rapidity with which the aggregation rounded into form is evidenced by the scores of the two games with Foseyville, the first and second games of the season and separated in time by three weeks. Mt. Vernon was pushed to win an 8 to 6 victory in the first contest, while in the second contest the locals piled up a 23 to 2 victory. Such strong teams as Owensville High, Francis Joseph Reitz and Bonville High found in the Mt. Vernon quintet an aggregation be- fore which they went down to defeat. _Wilson and Rosenbaum developed into two of the fastest forwards ever playing on a Mt. Vernon girls’ basket-ball team. Captain Green and. Stal- lings as center, earned a reputation as swift floor workers and the pivots about which many of the team’s plays hinged. In Zimmerman and Dex- heimer at guard, Coach Keck possessed a pair of guards whose work played havoc with the scoring of every opponent. During the season Mt. Vernon piled up a total of 234 as compared with 111 points made by opponents. Not only did Mt. Vernon girls’ team display a splendid brand of basket- ball throughout the season, but members of the quintet evinced the equally Important attribute of good sportsmanship. - In Wilson, Stallings, Zimmerman, Dexheimer, Turner and Blackburn the coach of the 1922-1923 season will have a nucleous superior to that which remained from the previous year’s team at the beginning of the 1921- 1922 season and while predictions of a year ahead are always a matter of speculation it is not idle talk to Say that the feminine basket-ball representa- tives of Mt. Vernon High will bear watching and will veaentia te ; front to any team that may be an nepOneEhs P etmuda ble For the first time in the history of M. V. H.

She also gained the honor of being A. A. S. L. V. EDITH GREEN—Center Edith was captain of this year’s five. She was always fighting and worked hard for the team. She always gave her team the jump by getting the tip off. She seemed to be all over the floor at once. Her loss will be keenly felt. MARY CLEMENTS—Guard Mary was sub-guard. Although nota regular she was reliable when needed and she was noted for her good cheer while playing. As the rule of a good basket-ball team, a sub must be as good asa regular. This rule held true, for Mary was always “‘in the game.” SEASON’S RECORD At Poseyville—Noy. 11, 1921, Poseyville, 6: Mt. Vernon, 8. At Mt. Vernon—Dec. 2, 1921, Poseyville, 3; Mt. Vernon, 23.

Miss Pickerl to Girls in Glee Club—‘‘Girls, don’t forget to hold on to your man in the second line.” Edith Green, in cooking class after spilling some milk on Miss Crooks’ dress—‘‘Oh, don’t mind, Miss Crooks, there’s plenty lett.’ Referee to Carr—‘‘Do you play square?” €arr—‘‘No, I never heard of it.” Paul Dietz’s motto is “Don’t love a little girl a lot, but love lots of little Sit iSa Mittle Mr. Stinnett——‘‘How is the best way to cool a gasoline engine? ”’ Edith Green—‘‘Stop it.” Miss Smith—‘‘Why is an auto always spoken of as feminine gender? ”’ Roy Dawson—‘‘Because you are always having trouble with them.”’ Page Seventy-Nine eats one Page Eighty (THE HOOP POLES rele Miss Smith—‘‘Why is an auto always spoken of as feminine gender? ”’ Roy Dawson—‘‘Because you are always having trouble with them.”’ Mr. Shultz—‘‘Paul, what are some of the things that were used in the European war? ”’ Paul Dietz—‘‘Cooties.”’ Mr. Shultz (before assembly) —‘‘Tomorrow morning we will give any one the chance to bring a joke before the assembly.”’ Bright Freshie (in rear of room)—‘‘Bring in the Foot-ball team.”' Mary Clements—‘‘Owen, you have a hungry look these days.” Owen Huntsman—‘‘Yes, I’m out for track and they’re making me fast.” Charlotte Rosenbaum—‘“I wish God had made me a boy.”’ Nelson Kelley—‘‘He did. I’m he.” Walter B.—‘“‘I don’t like girls that bob their hair, use rouge or powder, wear short skirts or roll their socks.” Kent—‘‘I haven’t got one either.”’ Miss Harmon told the Freshman class to rewrite the sentence: “‘A wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse” in their own words, but to retain the meaning. She became unconscious when she read the following: “‘A spas- modic movement of the optic is as adequate as a slight inclination of the cranium to an equine quadruped devoid of its visionary capacities.” Merkle Alexander—‘‘Ralph, would you mind driving a little slower?” Ralph Gronemeier—‘‘Not getting scared are you?” Merkle—‘‘Oh, no, nothing like that but I’d hate to take an unfair ad- vantage of my insurance company.”’ Charles Lawrence—‘“‘I can’t find Mildred anywhere.” Mr. Stinnett—‘‘Start talking to some girl and she will come.” “Robert would be all right if he had a little polish.” “Yep, always did help ivory.” Freshman—“‘‘Only fools are positive.” Senior—‘‘Are you sure? ”’ Freshman—‘‘I’m positive.” Bite off more than you can chew, Then chew it— Find more work than you can do, Then do it— Hitch your wagon to a star And there you are.

FLESHER, Owner x Page One Hundred and Ten 45 a TRE oor POLE Shall I Train for a Profession or Business WHICH This is a burning, vital question which concerns every young man and every young woman. You who are now graduating from High School, will soon be compelled to decide what your life’s work shall be. Will it be to spend from $4,000 to $10,000 in going through four years of college, and then four years more for your profession, as now required by the state law? Will it be to spend several years more at starvation income, to build up a practice, or will you plan now to specialize for Business: The greatest profession the world has ever known. Statistics tells us that: The income of the average lawyer is less than $2,800 a year. The in- come of the average doctor is less than $2,000. Yet it is not uncommon to find both men and women who rise to the top and succeed in business, frequently earn from $3,000, $5,000, or even as high as $10,000 a year. It is said there are hundred of corporations which pay their managing heads of departments from $20,000, $30,000, yes, and even as high as $50,000 a year. Yes, and this without the necessity of spend- ing from four to eight years in acquiring knowledge of foreign and dead lan- guages, which sometimes unfits, rather than equips, for a successful business life.
