xg, ju ion an s Nion Hictnnsnr MR. IUSTICE I IMMY jimmy Calverton is the son of the Assistant Prosecuting Attorney of Hemp- ton County and captain of his High School debate team. He is fully convinced that Arthur Louman, whom his father is trying to convict for embezzling, is innocent, and, while trying to prove his innocence, har- bors him in his own home under the name of Allen Roberts, a counselor from his camp. Complications arise with the con- stant annoyances of his younger sister and the arrest of his father, who tries to shield limmy when the authorities are in- formed that the criminal is hiding in the Calverton home, Iimmy is at last triumphant when the beautiful but dumb member of his debate team produces the evidence which shows that the real crimin- al is none other than Harry Knapp whom his sister, Kit, was planning to marry. All ends well when the true criminal is cap tured and Kit finds refuge in the arms of Allen Roberts. SHIRT SLEEVES At the Diana Theatre on May 13th, the senior class gave evidence of a well cast and well planned production. The audience was ushered to their seats by girls of the class in formal dress. At 8:00 the violin quartet began playing, and the show was on. The old saying that the cycle of shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves is accomplished each third generation was born out in the experiences of the notable Rand family. In the crash of the 30's this family lost their material possessions and false pride, but gained the greater moral strength that their security and smugness had formerly overshadowed. This was a young peoples play, sprightly, interest- ing, and purposeful. lt was a serious undertaking with a cast of sixteen and extras, and could not have been accom- plished without the splendid cooperation of all those interested in its success. IUNIOR-SENIOR PROM A branch of cherry blossoms was the invitation to all seniors to attend the big- gest social event of the year, as guests of the junior Class. On the long awaited night of May l7, the girls in lovely formal dresses were escorated into a beautiful japanese garden by the handsomely groomed young men. The long fan- shaped tables were decorated with lap- anese pagoclas and lantern place cards. After enjoying a fine three course dinner, all were entertained by the toastmaster, Douglas Kitterman, a few words of wel- come by the junior class president, Betty Rose Forrer, response by loe Klotz, Senior class president, and messages by Su- perintendent Watt and Principal Rust. The banquet was followed with dancing in the gym. Every detail was so well planned that juniors and seniors alike enjoyed a perfect evening together. ANNUAL STAFF 1941 Shadow With the original guidance of Mr. Zeis, the staff conceived the plan for a new kind of Shadow. lnformality was to be the keynote, with students and teach- ers at home in the classroom, accord- ing to department organization. They have planned pictures and reading mater- ial that will make a familiar and memor- able record forever. The staff appreciates the good start Mr. Zeis gave before he left in lanuary for Camp Shelby. Fred Wyant, editor, had the plans with which to carry on under the guidance of Miss Campbell. At times it seemed an almost insurmountable task, but the staff believes they have achieved success, and thank all those who contri- buted to it.

C T The Noblesville School hard-charging .ootball team had a very successful season during l940, being victorious in six games, tying two and losing only two games. This victorious season was made possible by the cooperation of the boys with Coach Dale Swanson's plan of attack. The boys this year seemed to have that willing- ness to win. After getting off to a slow start, the liioys began clicking and tied Cathedral, lndianapolis champions for l940. Then having the usual let down after oi game like this, they found their stride and were off again. During this time they beat their old rival, Sheridan, in a thrilling bat- tle. A record crowd of 3,000 witnessed this game. Then they met 'Westfield on Westfield.'s own muddy field and beat them to become Hamilton County Champs for l940. There were five Noblesville players on the All-County team. They were Bob Wood, Bill Carr, Bill Burger, Bob Good- win, and Herbert McKinsey. Those receiv- ing honorable mention were Dick Kinder and Baleigh lrlammond. The Millers gained 223i yards to their opponents 2373 yards. Noblesville made a total of 75 first downs while opponents made 89 first fiovv Une llelt tai rigltil lfiflliert Mr:- Efinsey, Ben lldwards, Billy Burger, Toni fjl'tilfltlfII't, Bill Zinn, lvlerrill lNoo'l ward, Fred Vlyarit B 31 Goodwin T 1 Srnall, Bch Wood.

All these figures indicate that on paper the lvliliers should not have Won so many games. The fact is the Millers actually were smart, taking advantage of every break, aggressive, courageous, and had deter- mination to win. They were a dangerous ball club after they reached the opponents 40 yard line. Their success might be summed up in two words, Blocking and lntelligence. The 1940 eleven had no individual stars. They were small and out-weighed in every game but one. One of the greatest plays ever e.recu.- ed on loseph Field was rnade by the l9-l0 Millers, lt was in the Sheridan game, im- mediately after Sheridan had scored and taken a 7 to 0 lead. Miller fans were dis- couraged and it looked like the old Sheri- dan jinx once again had struck a knock- out blow. Then on the kickoff, the bali was taken on the l0 yard line, and behind an amazing and perfect demonstration of blocking which had every Sheridan play- er off his feet, Herbert McKinsey ran 90 yards for a touchdown. Coach Swanson was called for mili- tary duty and was given an indefinite leave, during which time Elmer Hampton will coach. .Lx
