Ex Lihris THE SIXTEENTH T APYRUS published b]) THE SENIOR CLASS of the PENDLETON HIGH SCHOOL, Pendleton, Indiana ♦ ♦ FOREWORD We, the Class of 1931, of Pendleton High School, endeavor to preserve the memories of our good times h ) publishing this Sixteenth Volume of the Pap )rus DEDICATION We, the Class of 1931, to shoTv that rve still possess a sense of humor in spite of the present financial depression, dedicate this hook to Hard Times 4 ♦ 4 ♦ OUR MOTTO We lead; others follow Aiministratuitt FLOYD H.

Indiana University ♦ Oft times sdiool students do not realize the impression which their teachers have made upon their lives, but we feel that we, the Class of 1931, recognize the fact that Mr. Miner and Mr. Ellsworth and other members of the faculty have set such a high standard before us all that we can not fail to reach greater success in life than we should possibly have attained had we not come in touch with them. We also wish to express our appreciation to the members of the Board of Control for all that has been done for us and for the High School. It is due to their efforts that the High School has been admitted to the North Central High School Association. Their cooperation has proved that they have the students ' interests uppermost in their minds. Seven 4 ♦ FRANCES ELLSWORTH English Pendleton High School A. B. Indiana University J. A.

STUDENT COUNCIL This organization was begun about five or six years ago and was a successful attempt to bring the teachers and students together by having students enforce order on monitors who are assigned to different parts of the building. A lately added duty is to bring interesting entertainments before us in convocation periods. The council consists of a president, elected from Senior Class, one person from each of high school classes, and ex-officio member, who is their faculty adviser. ♦ Nine % OIlaBB s Seni eniors GEORGE BROWN ' ' Brown ' ' President 4; Vice- President 1, 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Op- eretta 1, 2, 3, 4; Yell Leader 1, a. 3„ 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Commercial Club 4; Joke Editor of Pa- pyrus 3.

He has taught the team and school alike how to take defeat as well as victory. He always meets you with a smile and an encouraging word whether it be in gym, in the class room, or on the street. ♦ ♦ George, our yell leader, who for four years has led yells for P. H. S. Under his leadership the Pen- dleton cheering section has become famous all over the county for the backing they have given their team. His spirit and pep will be greatly missed next year. Bhovvn Tivenly-Three 4 ♦ SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT Pendleton 27 Lapel 23 Summitville Pendleton 21 HAROLD HOPPES Hop, guard, and what a guard! Tournament fans are still trying to figure out how a man so little could do so much. Hop has one more year. Come on, Hop, everybody is for you! DURWARD NX ' ATTERS Dirt, known for his long field goals that have pulled many a game out of the fire for P. H. S. This is Dirt ' s first and last year on the varsity. His never give up spirit and sensational basket shooting will be missed next year. HAROLD OWENS Tub, playing his fourth year for P. H. S., was a victim of Old Man Hard Luck this year. Having had the scarlet fever and suffering from other minor injuries which caused him to be out the latter part of the season, he has played many a creditable game for P. H. S. and will be badly missed next year. JAMES MANNON Jim, the big, husky center who for three years has controlled the tip-off for P. H. S. His great height and ability to score under the basket have made him high point man this year. Jim ' s points and ability to control the tip-off will be missed next year. ELMER ANSON Elmer, that little forward that shoots from all angles and makes them where his opponents think he can ' t. Elmer has one more year. We ' re all for you, Elmer ! Twenty-Four r ' ' « - • «(,- ' ■ ' {■■ic 4 KNIGHTSTOWN TOURNAMENT Pendleton 18 Charlottesville 17 Pendleton 27 Wilkinson 17 (final) ♦ JESSE HITE Jess, better known as Jesse Elias Hite, Jr., that speedy player that has fought hard for his school this year. Jess has two more years to fight for P. H. S. and we are hoping him the best of luck. PAUL ANDERSON Andy, also playing for the last time for P. H. S., is known for the fine spirit and backing he has given the team. He was always willing to go into the game and give everything he had for his school. Andy will be missed. TOM MANNON Tom, a tall lanky guard and center who made a wonderful showing this year and whose spirit has been remarkable. Tom has one more year and we are hoping him a successful season. HORACE STONER Stoner ' s speed has made many opponents eat the dust of his heels while he piled up the score for P. H. S. His floor work and timely field goals will be missed next year. GENE CLARK Clark, that scrappy little guard always fighting for his school. Playing his second and last year for his school has had a prominent part in many victories. We are indeed sorry to lose Gene.

BASEBALL Pendleton started the baseball season with four scheduled games. Coach Carter found himself facing a very serious problem of filling in the gaps left by graduation. After very little practice Pendleton went to Summitville, but fell a victim of Payne, SummitviUe ' s hurler, and lost 5-0. The next week Pendleton played Lapel on the home lot. The team hit early in the game, scoring three runs in the first inning and col- lecting another in the fifth, to win 4-3. The next game Pendleton lost to Frankton by a narrow margin and in the last game of the season Pendleton lost 10-6 to Lapel. Pendleton was handicapped in that three of the four games were played away from home. Pendleton is fortunate in having the best baseball field in the county. We are looking forward to a good spring season. Tirenty-Bight ATHLETIC BOARD Mr. Miner, president; Mr. Harris, secretary-treasurer; Mr. Carter, coach; Mr. Ellsworth, manager. Pendleton has been very fortunate in the past as well as the present in having such men as these at the head of its Athletics. It has always been the policy of this Board to live up to the rules of the Indiana State High School Association. They have always stood for good sportsmanship and have always been willing to promote any clean games. We the Senior Class of 31, wish them the best of success. Twenty-Nhie i © ♦ KNIGHTSTOWN TOURNAMENT On January 30, Coach Carter took ten of his Fightin ' Irishmen to Knightstown and brought home the bacon. Pendleton won their third Knightstown Invitational Tournament by defeating Charlottesville and Wilkinson. Pendleton had their hands full in the iirst game with Charlottesville. The Hancock County boys played an inspired game of basket ball which Pendleton won by the narrow margin of 18-17. Wilkinson won the honors of playing Pendleton in the finals by defeating Knights- town in an upset in the afternoon. Wilkinson put up a stubborn defense against Pendle- ton in the finals. Pendleton led by a few points at the end of the second quarter, but Wilkinson rallied in the third quarter and came within one point of Pendleton, but when the gun cracked Pendleton was in the lead by a score of 27-17. Captain Owens was presented with the loving cup, which was awarded to the winning team. Pendleton indeed has a team to be proud of. They give their best and come home with Pendleton ' s second consecutive Knightstown Invitational Tournament. Thirty Minor Sports TRACK It has been the desire of the Board of Control for many years to stimulate interest in all phases of track work. This interest cannot be produced in one year but must be brought out over a series of years. In the last few years the Board of Control has spent much money in building a track and sponsoring track meets. This interest has grown from year to year in Pendleton with Mr. Carter ' s never tiring effort to produce a track team that Pendleton will be proud of. Pendleton has a very bright outlook with almost all of last year ' s men back again this season. Some of the fellows who deserve credit for the uphill fight they have made are: James Mannon, Laurence Elmore, Durward Watters, William Ireland, Harold Hoppess, and Paul Rector. TENNIS Tennis is another sport that has spread through the school. When the courts were A made six years ago there were not many interested, but today if you go out to the courts you will find them full and several players waiting for their turn. Players are so eager to play that neither cold weather nor rain can stop them. Each spring tournaments are held, one for the high school girls and another for the boys. Last year Francis McClintock won the boy ' s championship and Hope Anson won the girl ' s championship. We are looking forward to tournaments this spring. HORSESHOES Horseshoe has made the most rapid growth of any other minor sport. In the tournament held last fall Horace Stoner won the crown for the second successive time. There has been keen interest shown by the boys of high school. So why not follow the crowd and go out to the horseshoe pits and try your skill at the game?

ANNUAL This Annual was published by the Senior Class of 1931 under the capable direaion of Maxine McVaugh. This year has been one of the most difficult to obtain advertise- ■ ments. In spite of this difficulty we have been able to edit, in our opinion, one of the best Annuals. To next year ' s Seniors, we hope that they will have all the success in the world for their Annual.

Thirty-Six PHYSICS CLASS The students in this class are George Brown, Paul Reaor, Harold Owens, Arthur McGuire (withdrawn). Ward Bunker, Mark Murfin, Mary Louise Martin (withdrawn), Rachel Helms, Durward Watters, Maxine McVaugh, Robert Lewark, William Ireland, Emily Thomas, Elizabeth Hill, Mary Frances Thomas, Margaret McCarry, Raymond Shetterly (withdrawn), Robert Frampton, Charles Wisehart, Gene Clark, Orrin Mani- fold, Helen Lewis, Gayle Propps, Fern Jackson, Henry McCarty, Virgil Stinson, Mr. Harris (instructor). Of course we had to be diflferent, so we started by having the largest class in physics that has ever been in P. H. S. — much to the disturbance of Mr. Harris, who works so hard to make us go right! There are fourteen boys compared to nine girls now, after losing two boys and one girl. Each week we have a standard test. These tests have a certain type of grading which makes it very nice — sometimes. In our laboratory work we average about fifty-five experiments a year. This is a comparatively high number for high schools. Because of the largeness of the class we are forced to work in groups of two. All in all physics is a very interesting and beneficial subject, and we enjoy it a great deal.

Vocational Agricultural Education has been defined, as a training of farm boys, who expect to follow the vocation of farming. It is an integral part of our great edu- cational system, provided by Federal and State statutes, and as such is included in our present high school curriculum. The high school course in agriculture, includes training in soils and crops, ani- mal husbandry, poultry husbandry, dairy husbandry, horticulture, farm management and farm mechanics. Related subjects as biology and physics are included in the curriculum, as well as English, mathematics, history and the social sciences. We believe that there are great opportunities in store for the men of to-morrow in the farming vocation, who as boys of to-day receive specialized training in vocational agriculture. Closely related to our vocational training is the 4-H Club Work, a junior voca- tional aaivity, which we sponsor during the summer months. Usually fifty or more club boys are enrolled in this farm activity during the summer. The requirements for admittance to a vocational agriculture course, includes a well defined supervised home project, to be practiced on the home farm by the vocational student. Boys expecting to receive farm training, should be farm-minded and have an opportunity to demonstrate and put into practice their agricultural education on the home farms. We believe in agriculture, but success in the vocation of farming is dependent upon the experience and training in agriculture. Thirty -Eight HOME ECONOMICS Mary Brattain, Vera Stinson, Josephine Guard, EUeanora Keller, Ruby McClasky, Constance Hendricks, Edith Riggs, Miss Burton (instructor), Frances Albea, Helen Fowler, Pauline Simmons, Mavis Gustin, Pauline Jackson. Home Economics has been given a new meaning the last few years. It used to mean merely cooking and sewing. Now it includes not only cooking but the study of food values and dietetics; not only the construction of garments but the study of fabrics values, and design in ready-made clothing. Some other new branches of Home Economics are art as related to the home, household chemistry, home nursing, and child care and family relationships. The girls in the vocational classes this past year have had not only the usual cloth- ing and foods courses but nursing, related art, dietetics, and the family relationships course. The last named course has been of especial interest. The aim of the Vocational Home Economics course is to make the girl a more worthy member of her parents ' home and an efficient home maker in the future.

Everyone is getting all settled for a fine year ' s work — except the Seniors. They are so gay and carefree that at times the teachers seem to think they are perfectly silly, or that over the summer they have gone to another world and haven ' t come back — as yet. Coach Carter calls for this season ' s basketball boys. It seems that almost every boy in the high school has gone out for the game. Nevertheless, in a few weeks we shall see just how interested they are. Everyone has agreed that the rings of Class of 19. 1 are the prettiest they have ever seen. We are very thankful for Teacher ' s Institute — two days vacation. We hardly know some of the boys of late, for they have lost so much of their hair.

LEWARK Compound Cleans Hands and Bleaches Other Black Objects Instantly. At last ! An amazing discovery has been made! Mr. Robert Lewark, a grad- uate of the Class of ' 31, P. H. S., has discovered a most amazing chemical. This chemical has the power of re- moving th e color from the skin and thereby making it white. Mr, Lewark first discovered this wonderful inven- tion, when coming in one day for his noon meal. Mr. Lewark noticed how terribly dirty his hands were, and in looking about for something to clean his hands with, he accidentally knocked a test tube off the table spilling the contents on his hands and feet. Imag- ine his amazement when he saw his shoes had become white as snow and his hands were cleaner than they had ever been. This discovery will make Mr. Lewark very rich. He is being be- sieged by people of every race, who offer to pay exorbitant prices for enough of this chemical to enable them to become a member of our race.

From the dawn till setting sun. May I fathom in this swamp. My weakness and my wrong. And though I flounder in the muck, May I continue with a song. May I ever list To hear the buzzing of the snake, A gentleman of an untold year, A friend for me to make. God made the beauty of the swamp. Every morsel of my scope, And when at last my time has come. For such kingdom shall I hope! May God forbid that I o ' erlook. My greatest and truest friend. The winged creatures of my realm, Of which there is no end. As he warbles from his nest, The throbbing music swells. And reaches to my hardened heart. Into its deepest wells. When at last I step into God ' s great and grand Creation May He o ' erlook my blackened soul ; Cleanse me of my least sensation. When the golden hills are overlaid. With a mantle of silver dew. In the eventide may I take my harp, And play a strain for you. When my throbbing fingers slip, Across the tingling string, When with lips that quiver, To Thee, Holy One, I sing. I would to God that from that harp, A strain of sweet repose. Would issue forth in harmony, A tenth as sweet as one of those. I would that it were as pure and sweet. So full of Heaven ' s harmony. As precious, oh, as precious As this bird ' s simple melody! -Harold Owens, ' 31 Sixly-Six ■ CAPTAINS OF SUCCESSFUL ANNUALS EMPLOY 4 ♦ THE EXPERIENCED GUIDANCE OF STAFFORD CRAFTSMEN WITH THE CONFIDENCE THAT THEIR COURSE WILL LAY OVER WELL-DEFINED ROUTES, DIRECT TO A BRILLIANT DESTINATION ' IP ravin (5 S TA U I L D I N G INDhWAPOLIS O.

INDIANA Seventy-Four History of P. H. S. A small town by the name of Pendleton, located in Madison County, had some very wise men in it. These wise men decided to build a high school and give their children a chance to become better educated. There were quite a few Friends or Quakers living near Pendleton, who thought it a very good idea and helped to bring it about. Of course, there was a school in Pendleton but it had never been commissioned; however, Pendleton being such a wonderful town, it produced some very distinguished individuals who were educated here regardless of disadvantages and made good names for them- selves. Among those were Joseph Swain and Charles L. Henry. On April 20, 1907, these wise men met again and came to an agreement. C. F. Williams, trustee of Fallcreek Township, and J. J. Rogers, Dr. L. E. Alexander, and George P. Longnecker, School Trustees of the Town of Pendleton, agreed to conduct the schools of Fallcreek Township and Pendleton jointly. Several township schools were abandoned and the children were hauled to Pendleton in hacks. At the present time there are but two township schools in use, Huntsville and Spring Valley. After the wise men had decided on this plan people seemed to crave higher educa- tion and soon the school became crowded. So some wise men had to meet again and they agreed, under a contract of January U, 1913, to create a high school di.strict and they put an annex on the old high school building. In 1924 the entire high school building was remodeled and the wise men had a rest. Pendleton just seemed to be full of wise and brilliant men. One very intelligent man decided there must be no more delay in organizing a high school. Mr. P. A. Ran- dell, therefore, organized our dear old P. H. S. This high school was commissioned in 1886 and we now have a First Class Commission. Now we come to some more brilliant men who were Superintendents of P. H. S. Of course Mr. P. A. Randell came first, Alpheus Reynolds, J. D. White, E. D. Allen 1892-1912, Harry Reid 1912-1915, George B. Routt 1915-1918, C. C. Carsen 1918-1920, J. P. Amick 1920-1922, Floyd Miner 1922- This year we were admitted to the North Central Association of Colleges and Sec- ondary Schools. The aims of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools are: ' Tirst, to bring about a better acquaintance, a keener sympathy and a heartier cooperation between the colleges and secondary schools of this territory; second, to consider common education problems and to devise the best ways and means of solving them; and third, to promote the physical, intellectual, and moral well-being of the students by urging proper sanitary conditions of school buildings, adequate library and laboratory facilities, and higher standards of scholarship. The Regulations are: Buildings, Library, and Laboratories, Records, Requirements for Graduation, Instruction and Spirit, Salaries, Preparation of Teachers, Teaching Load, and Pupil Load. There have been a few repairs made this year. New ceilings were put in the hall- ways and in the Superintendent ' s Office.

Actually, there were twice as many boys as girls. Of these, fourteen are still faithful to the class of ' 31. They are: Martha Pettigrew, Emily Thomas, Maxine McVaugh, Elizabeth Hill, Gayle Propps, Helen Lewis, Mary Frances Thomas, Margaret McCarty, William Ireland, Charles Wisehart, Robert Frampton, Ward Bunker, Horace Stoner, Gene Clark, and Paul Anderson. During the latter part of our first year, Ima Fisher and Bob Lewark joined our ranks. Olive Simmons, our artist, arrived in the second grade. Imagine it. Our little It girl, Rachel Helms, and the youngest member of our graduating class, Ruth Wheeler, came to our arms during the memorable days of our fourth year in school. Our great yell leader, George Brown, and long shooter, Dirt Watters, knelt on their knees and begged us to let them go to school with us at least during the fifth year. We consented, but at the close of the year we pleaded with them to remain with us till the last dog was dead. What would we have done if Tub Owens hadn ' t come to us in the sixth step? Just think. He played basketball during his four high school years and won a four- striped major award. Big Sim Mannon was a wonderful addition t he next year to help us in our basketball. That same year our fine cook, Mary Brattain, and bashful June Guard were gladly taken into our embrace. In our green stage, we were greatly honored by the application of Orrin Manifold, Henry McCarty, and Virgil Stinson to become members of our class. We did not even ask for recommendations, but just took them in with great joy. Oh ! Here comes a lovely part. In the second year of high school Fern Jackson possessed such personality, sweetness, and so many winning ways that we immediately annexed her. Pat Rector joined us at that time too. The P. K. (Preacher ' s Kid), Mary Lou Haley, gave us her brains when we were Juniors in order to increase the ability of our class. Olene Coin is with us this year of 1931 and we are surely glad to have her. We have had a happy history so far, but I wonder what the future has in store for us. Let us hope it is the best of best. Seventy-Eight JOKES Hey, Percy, you took the wrong medicine. You drank the horse liniment! Oh, deah me, what an awss I am. Durward : Let me whisper in your ear. Maxine: Don ' t be crude! You know you couldn ' t get in. Miss Ellsworth: I can ' t imagine what ' s the matter with me, doctor. I ' m continually thinking of myself. Doctor; Tut, tut! You must stop worrying about trifles. So you ' re a salesman, are you. ' What do you sell? Salt. I ' m a salt seller, too. Shake! The Absent Minded Professor: Slept through his own lecture. Took the laundry hamper to the picnic instead of the lunch hamper. Shaved twice before he discovered there was no blade in his razor. Put the waffle on the Victrola and ate the record. Thought it was Sunday afternoon when his car got mixed in a funeral procession. Put the clutch in the back seat and threw out his wife. Reads the Monday morning paper to see whether he was in an accident yesterday. A timid soul in the seventh grade seeks the aid of the annual staff to settle the status of a certain word. Please tell me, she begs, is ' darn ' a real swear word? Not so, assured the worthy editor. Darn is a nice, lady-like expletive suitable for Tom Thumb Golf Courses. The wife who keeps her husband in hot water all the time should not complain if he becomes hard boiled. Hali-Tosis: Where ' d you land on your last parachute jump? Addie-Noyd: None of your business. Grad. of ' 31: Goodbye, Mr. Ellsworth. I am indebted to you for all I know. Mr. Ellsworth: Oh, don ' t mention such a trifle. And did you hear about Pat Rector going cuckoo trying to spell Otto backward? She took horseback riding lessons for six weeks, but all she got for her pains was liniment. Sevenly-Nine 4 ♦ L Electric Radios Tubes Electric Refrigerators Sales and Service F. J. Rector Co.

A good customer was getting lax about the payment of invoices, and Abe suggested that Mawruss write him a strong but diplomatic letter calling his attention to the laxiety. Mawruss worked for several hours over the letter, then showed it to Abe for his approval. After reading it over carefully, Abe said, By golly, dot ' s a wonderful letter. Strong and to the point and not personal and insulting; but you got a couple of mistakes in it, Mawruss.
