Finfrock, teacher extraordinary, who last year retired after teach- ing EngHsh in Richmond High School for many years. In addition to her instructional duties. Miss Finfrock was head of the English Department, sponsor of the Dramatic Society and The Pierian, and director of the senior class play for a num- ber of years. Miss Finfrock is a careful student of English composition and literature, and hundreds of her former pupils will remember her course in English Literature (English Via). THE GRAND CENTRAL OF R. H. S. Call it the hangout or the crossroads; dub it victory hall or R. H. S. rendezvous ; Social Hall still remains the hub in the wheel of activity at Richmond High. Dr. O. W.

OUR VICTORY BELL Unearthed in the scrap drive nearly eight months ago, Our Victory Bell will peal when we ' ve vanquished our foe. Till then it stands patiently, waiting to ring On the day when Liberty once more is crowned king. After that, the big bell will be used to proclaim To one and to all that our team won the game. Our school and our country that we all love so well Are united in the tradition of our own Victory Bell. — D. E. H. Girls limbering muscles in physical fitness class. Pictured below is the largest article collected by R. H. S. scrappers for the scrap drive. WE ARE NOW IN THE WAR Miss Daggy ' s patriotic speech class led the way in War Stamp sales. Learning to obey commands is an important part of boys ' physical fitness classes. Since the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the declara- tion of war, we students of R. H. S. have realized that we have an important task to perform in the war effort. Our patriotic exuberance, touched off by the scrap drive last fall, grew as time went by, and was evidenced further by the successful War Stamp sales, physical fitness program, and countless other projects which were carried on. Probably the most important of these patriotic endeavors was the individual preparation many of us made to help our country. Boys prepared for service in the armed forces and a few left for the service before graduation. Girls prepared by helping in Red Cross and studying economics in wartime. It is impossible to cite every instance in which we furthered the war effort, but everyone realizes by the pictures shown in this section and the services described here that truly We are now in the war.

Such is the motto of the Block R girls, eighty of our school ' s most loyal boosters. They dress uniformly in dark blue skirts, red sweaters, and white collars; sit in one block, back their team to the end, and add color and fight to basketball games with their yells, songs, and stunts. EVERYDAY BENEATH THE TOWER There ' s lots of work required to keep the Art Galleries in shape. Here we see Sherley Folger, Carolyn Gay, Mr. Charles Hunt, Jim Sperling, and Mrs. M. F. Johnston packing an aluminum exhibit. THE TIN CANTEEN Dignified as they are, seniors still sit on the floor to play games. A tin can was re- quired as part of the admission to this get- together, The Tin Canteen. INSPIRING ASSEMBLIES For their first assembly of the spring semester, R. H. S. students heard Robert Kazmeyer, world traveler, radio commenta- tor, and orator. Mr. Kazmeyer stressed the necessity of WORKING for Victory. DOLLS, DOLLS, EVERYWHERE! The Girl Reserves of Richmond High showed the true Christmas spirit by dressing dolls for needy children. Seen here display- ing some of the dolls are Betty Elleman, Jean Campbell, Joyce Duff, and Betty Duncan. ZZZZzzzz I So this is what goes on in Social Hall when the teachers aren ' t looking! It ' s com- fortable anyway, snores an exhausted senior. ' WE ARE THE DRAMA CLASS ' Drama is fun! Especially the section de- voted to radio work. This is the unanimous assertion of Wilma Cooper, Ruth ConoUy, Marjorie Hill, Betty Jabusch, Stircle Patterson, and Howard Parish, as they prepare a skit for the public address system.

R. Mitchell who, in his first year at R. H. S., has been key man in planning and coordinating our complicated program of education during war-time. He is assisted by Miss Erdahl, dean of girls, and Mr. Far- mer, dean of boys. Prin. J. R. Mitchell The five members of the Richmond School Board are shown meet- ing with Mr. O. M. Swihart, new superin- tendent of schools of Richmond. They are, left to right, Mr. Roland Loehr, Mr. Swihart, Mr. J. J. McCauley, Mr. E. S. Alkire, Mrs. Windsor Harris, and Mr. D. D. Ball. EVERYDAY BENEATH THE TOWER In addition to teachers, it takes a compe- tent office force and capable custodians to keep a school of 1300 students running smoothly. Shown here behind the counter in the office are, left to right, Mrs. Francis Peacock, attendance clerk; Mrs. Helen Davenport, secretary to Prin. J. R. Mitchell, and Joan Schnieder, student helper. Seen before ascending in the elevator are, left to right, Mr. Carl Coffman, Mrs. Nor- ma Moorman, Mrs. Pearl Houghton, Mr. Raymond Kehlenbrink, Mr. Charles Hunt, and Mr. Bill Ross. FOREIGN LANGUAGES, ENGLISH DEPARTMENTS Mrs. Carrie Lane Charles, PH.B., French and Enghsh; Miss Eliza- beth Smelser, PH.B., Latin and Spanish; and Miss Anna Bradbury, PH.B., Spanish. First row: Miss Mary Alice Fornshell, A.M.; Mrs. Eloise Coate, B.A.; Mr. Clifford Keefer, A.M.; Miss Mary Eliza- beth Fihe, A.M.; Miss Emily Murphy, A.M. Second row: Miss Harriet Shoemaker, A.M.; Mrs. Esther Thisdethwaite, A. M.; Mr. Glenn Holder, A.M.; Mrs. Carrie Lane Charles, PH.B.; Mrs. Myrtle Shallenburg, B.S.,A.M.; Mrs. Florence Lacey, B.L.S. and Miss Mary Daggy, B.A. A thorough understanding of both EngHsh and foreign language is necessary now more than ever, since many students of today soon will be traveling in foreign lands. The language courses here enable the student to get this understanding by a study of grammar, spelling, and literature of foreign countries and of our own United States. PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Keeping physical fit, always an important factor in healthy living, has been brought to the fore now because the men and women of tomorrow must have stamina, endurance, and strength to perform their jobs. The classes in physical fitness for both boys and girls are held four days a week with a course in first-aid given on the fifth. Training includes calisthenics, artificial respiration, tumbling, and other forms of exercise. Seated: Mrs. Norman Johanning, A.B.; Mr. Elder Eberhart, A.M., director of athletics; Miss Helen Cook, B.S. Standing: Mr. Palmer Sponsler, M.S. Physical fitness classes demonstrated their calisthenics and other exercises at the Bond-bardment held in Civic Hall in early May. The boys ' classes also gave a demonstration during the intermission of one of the basketball games. COMMERCIAL, SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENTS The need for stenographers, typists, and clerical workers is increasing now, and the Commercial Department has produced many competent students to fill these jobs by a thorough training course in commercial subjects. Historical backgrounds, relations between our nation and our allies, economic problems, and personal guidance all are in- tended to broaden the individual ' s understanding of present-day policies of nations and individuals. Miss Helena Sutton, A.B., typing; Mr. Paul Robertson, M.S., book- keeping; Mr. Robert SoUars, A. M., book- keeping and office prac- tice; and Miss Helen Hicks, A.M., shorthand and psychology. Seated: Mr. Charles Bechtold, A.M., history; Mrs. Hoffman, A.M., history; Miss Marguerite Burbanck, A.M., Pacific Relations American Neighbors and Sociol- ogy; Miss Donna Parke, A.M., history; and Miss Mildred Crabb, A.M., vocational guidance and personal problems. Standing: Mr. Wm. Bate, A.M., vocational guidance and personal problems; Mr. Lowell Stafford, A.M., commer- cial geography and civics; Mr. Palmer Sponsler, M.S.; and Mr. Clarence Chase, A.M., civics and sociology. SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENTS The world of tomorrow will be a world of science — consequent- ly, the courses in science which vary from the locomotive system of the amoeba to experiments with a concave lens, are not only in- teresting but vitally necessary to a person who wishes to succeed. Exacting precision is necessary in this world of machinery, and the importance of mathematics cannot be overstressed. Besides providing basic training for machinists and engineers, mathematics is a necessary element in any well-educated person ' s knowledge. Mrs. James Ronald, A.B., Biology; Mr. Wal- lace Brenneman, A.B., B.S., Physics and Math.; Mr. Ezra Miller, Ph.B., Chemistry; Mr. Von Alexander, A.B., M.S., Biology; Miss Kathryn Coulter, A.M., Biology. Mr. Lowell Rivir, M.S., Math and Aero- nautics; Mrs. Myrde Shallenburg, A. M., Math.; Mr. Victor Scott, A.B., Math.; Mr. Wal- lace Brenneman, A.B., Math. HOME ECONOMICS, VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENTS Miss Janet Land, A.B., Foods; Mrs. Jeanne Luckey, A.M., Foods; Miss Elma Eliason, B.S., Foods; and Miss Mary Fossenkemper, A. B., Clothing. Mr. Albert Sears, B.S., Machine Shop; Mr. Otto Dorner, B.S., Printing; Mr. John DuVall, B.S., M.A., Drafting; Mr. Lowell Rivir, M. S., Machine Shop Math.; Mr. Ray Treasure, B.S., Drafting and Wood- work; and Mr. Eugene Clehaus, B.S., Drafting and Machine Shop. Learning to become the homemakers of tomorrow and getting practical lessons in conserving clothes and food — these are a few things studied in the Home Economics Department. This group inaugurated the Wartime Panel Group, which met weekly to dis- cuss pertinent problems. Training in printing, drafting, metal working or woodworking is afforded those boys who take the vocational courses. -The effec- tiveness of this department is evidenced by the many boys who went directly into jobs in industry. FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT Miss Elizabeth Bid- good, Pratt Institute, Art; Mrs. Ella Bond Johnston, Director of the Richmond Art Association; Mr. Ben CJraham, A.M., Band, Orchestra; Miss Mary Minnick, B.M., Choir, Nfusic. Students have a splendid opportunity for self-expression in the art and music courses offered in McGuire Hall, the only separate high school art building in the state. Instrumental and vocal train- ing, theory, harmony, composition, sign painting, figure drawing, etc., all are sections of work designed to give the students a better understanding of culture and the fine arts. Director of the Richmond Art Association for more than forty years, Mrs. M. F. Johnston continues to serve the school and community in that position. She has played a great part in acquainting the students of R. H. S. with the cultural side of life. SENIOR COMMITTEE HEADS AND SPONSORS First Row: Pat Toler, Barbara Hodapp, Betty Lou Stevenson, Carolyn Gay, Maradeen Mc- Graw. Second Row: Miss F i h e , Howard Parish, Bernard Ryan, Noah Berry, Mr. Keefer. THE FABLE OF FORTY-THREE We seniors of ' 43 enjoyed the privileges and accepted the respon- sibihties that go along with every senior class — senior pictures, commencement announcements, class day, baccalaureate, name cards, prom, seats on the main floor in Civic Hall, class parties, caps and gowns, Pierian staff, senior play, yellow cords, and all the other wonderful never-to-be-forgotten things we ' ve had but now pass on to next year ' s seniors. Some days have been trying and others fun, but at any rate, each of the 450 some seniors will remember these last nine months with pride and satisfaction. Through all the jumble and activity of acceleration, we realize that our time spent here has taught us to live better, and that the friends we ' ve made wil l be friends we ' ll keep. Maybe in another year we won ' t remember it quite so vividly. But, no matter where we are — in a defense plant, in a training school for Army officers, in a large office-building, in college, w e ' ll never forget our friends and our experiences Beneath the Tower.

Proving their energy by being one of the few classes to put over a class party, they sponsor- ed a Junior Jitney Party which was not only good enter- tainment, but provided them with funds to sponsor activities later in the year. Early in the year they elected their officers and soon, under their sponsors, Mr. Bechtold and Miss Land, they chose their committees. The officers are: John Bullerdick, president; De- light Dilks, vice-president; Bar- bara Jo DuVall, secretary; and Jim Sperling, treasurer. The Juniors sponsored the Senior Recognition assembly, with Dr. -Frank Liddle as prin- cipal speaker, and it was very inspiring. Later in the year, a few of the juniors assisted in putting on the annual Junior- Senior Prom. Many members of this class acted as ushers at the Baccalau- reate and Commencement exer- cises and they also decorated for Commencement. This class is well represented in almost every department of activity in R. H. S. First Row : Eggemeyer, Bullerdick, Fienning, Castelluccio, Clarke, Graver, Beach, Griffin, Beck, Brown, Angy, Hill.

Early in the school year they were honored by a loB party, and also were one of the first classes to be recognized by a Freshman Recognition Assembly. Mr. Swihart made his first public school appearance at this assem- , bly. After this assembly, the freshmen immediately got into the swing of things here and soon became well enough ad- justed to engage in various activities. Although they are not organ- ized, the class of ' 45 has become an integral part of our school organization. Already they have achieved success in art, music, and athletics, as well as doing very creditably in scho- lastic standing. The hard work and energy that they have displayed has proved beyond a doubt that they are capable of accepting new responsibilities in the fu- ture.

ACTIVITIES BOARD Activities Board is the student counsel of R.H.S. One representative is chosen from each home room, and they meet weekly to decide on various problems and sponsor activities. This governing council has made several patriotic ventures, being instrumental in the success of the scrap drive and the honor roll. The group, with Bernard Ryan and Bruce Griffin as presidents, also gave a freshmen guid- ance program for the new loB ' s, and later, a party and recognition assembly for the new students. WAR COUNCIL A school at war must make many patriotic decisions, and the War Council is the group that makes them. The newly-organized council, under Mr. Farmer, as commission- er, decided on the distributions of the money made on the scrap drive. First Row: Hunt, Schaefer, Hodapp, Griffin.

PIERIAN Early in October the Pierian staff begins work and it ' s a tough grind from there on out. After the completion of the subscription campaign, the entire staff turns its attention to arranging picture schedules, taking pictures and writing copy. A few days before the end of school the distribu- tion of the Pierian climaxes a year of hard work by the staff. THE REGISTER Every Friday, third hour, finds the distribution of The Register in progress. Behind these printed pages are hours of work by the students in Journal- ism II, who receive credit for their work on either the business or editorial staffs. David Hunt and Bill Thompson were editors for the fall and spring semesters respectively, under the leadership of Mr. Holder, the faculty sponsor. THE QUILL CLUB The Quill Club is an organization of boys and girls that are interested in doing creative writing for publication. The president during the first semester was Junior Wildig, and during the second semester, Margaret Ross. The big project was the publication of the Quill, a twenty-page magazine composed en- tirely of short stories, essays, and poems written by the members themselves. The magazine was printed in the R. H. S. print shop. Mr. Holder is the sponsor of the club. First Row: Hagie, Soper, Kitchin, Hunt, Thomas, Brin- ley, Moss, Werner.

SENIOR HI-Y Character building and service to school and community are both stressed by the Senior Hi-Y Club. The Queen of Hearts Ball, the Easter assembly, and many other projects came from this club, which is cooperatively sponsored by Mr. Victor Scott of the school faculty and Mr. J. K. Wolfe of the Y.M.C.A. Each of these boys has an opportunity to help create, maintain, and extend Christian Character by attending the monthly church visitations, delivering Christmas baskets, hearing inspirational speakers, and enjoying themselves at the Hi-Y Alumni Stag and the parties. FRESHMAN HI-Y This club is the Hi-Y group open to tenth grade boys, and they have the same purpose and platform that the Senior Hi-Y has. Under the two presidents, Jim Cahoon and Brandon Griffis, and with a new sponsor, Mr. Brenneman, the club has had one of its most active years. Maintaining a mem- bership of about forty, the club has provided each of the boys with a worth- while experience, besides performing many services. GIRLS BOOSTER CLUB Red, white, fight, fight — red, white, fight, fight. This is the yell echoed by all Booster Club members as they back the Richmond Red Devils to the nth degree. From this group of loyal rooters come the eighty girls who constitute Block R proper. Whether at victory or defeat, they are always there to cheer the R.H.S. team through. The Booster lassies give an annual banquet for the basketball squad at the end of every season to show the fellows that, win or lose, the student body is still behind them. AROUND-THE-WORLD CLUB Although discontinued during the second semester because it was not connected with the war effort, the Around-the-World Club had the largest active membership of any club in school during the first semester. The purpose of the club is to obtain information on parts of the world involved in present events and to hear eye-witness accounts of history in the making. Their speakers included Lieutenant Commander Coe; Dick Clark of Centerville, who related his experiences in North Africa; the Reverend Father Witte, who told of his stay in Japan and his return from there; Mrs. Povey, whose husband is on naval duty in Samoa, and Miss Elizabeth Bidgood, who spoke on Africa. Miss Helena Sutton was the sponsor. The first three groups on opposite page comprise this organization. WORLD AFFAIRS The World Affairs Club, through the combined efforts of its members, serves to familiarize high school students with world-wide problems and to assist them in forming ideas relative to a world-wide peace. It is primarily a discussion organization depending on group participation; however, through- out the year several excellent outside speakers were heard. Among them were a former member, a Jamaican, and a doctor of Japanese ancestry. First Row: Kehlenbrink, Johnson, Kinsella, Sbrocchi, Lephart, Jacob- sen, Minner, Rowe.

GIRLS ' AVIATION Girls, as well as boys, are flying planes all over the United States, so this club is designed to fit the needs of those girls in our high school who are air-minded. Although Girls ' Aviation is a newcomer to our club schedule, it has given R.H.S. girls an insight into the marvels of aviation and quickened their interest in aeronautics. BOYS ' AVIATION The Boys ' Aviation Club is answering the call of Wings for America by giving the high school boys a chance to learn the fundamentals of the airplane and its parts. Boys interested in aviation also learn about aerodynamics, wind currents, and many other phases of aeronautics. Under Mr. Rivir ' s leadership, the club has become an im- portant part of the activities program. First Row: Ridge, R. M. Sandlin, G. Sandlin, Byrum, Wilke, Fister, Kight, Bizzaro.

RURAL GIRLS IN DEFENSE This club has been a great help in acquainting its girls with the different types of de- fense work that women and girls can do. Its members have learned the needs of our civilians and of our fighting forces by coming into contact with representatives of the WAACS, WAVES, Red Cross, and Civilian Defense. In addition, they have made joke books and other types of books to send to the fighting men who are in hospitals overseas. CONSERVATION CLUB Boys who are active fishermen, hunters, and trappers will be found in attendance at this club. The meetings are informal with the members leading and participating in the dis- cussions. The fellows share each other ' s information on methods of protecting the supply, as well as harvesting the seasonal crops of game animals, birds, and fish. Safety in the use of fire- arms, standards for buying equipment, and a thorough understanding of game laws are im- portant matters which are considered by this organization. SPORTS STUDY The Sports Study Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Sponsler, does just what you would expect it to. They study the history and backgrounds of various sports and rules . governing them. Future referees and umpires find this club very helpful. At times during the year, the group studies regulation handbooks of the various sports. CONCESSION WORKERS Every social event finds the Concession Workers ready and willing to furnish refresh- ments for everyone. Every worker, including Mr. Robertson, admits that it is hard work, but they still have the time of their lives providing the concessions for all to enjoy. The mem- bers of this group are so consistently present that we are likely to forget them, but they are loyal workers and deserve a lot of credit for the job they ' re doing.

The evidence of their work may be seen just west of the West Wing of the building. SKETCH AND HOBBY Under the guidance of Miss Bidgood, the members of the Sketch and Hobby Club receive a great deal of pleasure and instruction from their participation in this activity. Every member is free to pursue his or her own interest, and therein lies the secret of the club ' s success and usefulness. Several boys and girls in the club have won prizes for their work or received recognition in some other way. GARDEN CLUB First Row: Smith, Napier, Hauck, Black.

RED DEVIL PEPSTERS The Red Devil Pepsters are the girls behind the girls in Block R. They learn the rules of all the games; they learn how to win graciously, how to lose gallantly, and they ' re there to back the teams straight through to the finish. In short, they practice and spread good sportmanship at all school athletic contests. After a semester of such activity, they are admitted to the Booster Club and from there to Block R. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY CLUB AND CARVER-DUBOIS CLUB These clubs afford the colored boys and girls of Richmond High School an opportunity to meet and discuss the various school activities. Assemblies, dances, and picnics have been sponsored by the two groups, but the big event of the year is the annual banquet. Jean Maupin is president of the girls ' group, and Mary Owens is vice-president. Donald White is president of the boys ' group, and Joseph Bennett is vice-president. The sponsor is Mr. Charles J. Bechtold. WHEATLEY GIRLS First Row: Williams, Reynolds, Shipp, Pickle, Mabra, Floyd. Second Row: Crawford, Sellers, McConnell, Scott, Kirtz, Lewis, Harris, Mathews, Whitehead.

ART APPRECIATION Many pupils who are art-minded but yet are unable to take art, have a chance to learn to appreciate art in this club under Miss Bidgood ' s sponsorship. The boys and girls meet once a week to discuss paintings and learn what constitutes fine art. The members not only enrich their cultural background in this club, but they also receive one-hour credit for their participation. LATEST-IN-LITERATURE Keeping up to the minute on all the latest literature is the purpose of the members of the Latest-in-Literature Club. Most members are voracious readers, and the club buys several best sellers during the year. Book reviews and discussions are usually the order of the club meeting day. Miss Fornshell is the faculty sponsor of the group. A ART CLUB This club is one of our newer groups in school. The members are chosen for some outstanding piece of art work they have done and mem- bership of the club is about thirty. Several members of the club attended the state convention held at Indianapolis. Ted Blickwedel, one of the members of the group, is president of this state organization. GIRLS ' COLLEGE CLUB The Girls ' College Club is made up of academic senior girls who are interested in furthering their education. During the year the group heard various speakers on college life and the different phases of college. Discussions were held in which social life, expenses, and other general facts about college were discussed.

DRAMATICS IN THE HIGH SCHOOL Several dramatic groups afford R.H.S. students an excellent opportunity to learn acting, directing, application of make-up, the setting up of stages, and many other things essential to staging a successful production. The Junior Actors ' Guild, the younger dramatic organization, which is in two groups under the direction of Miss Fihe and Miss Shoemaker, has been very successful. They presented the play, Elmer and the Lovebug, before the entire school in McGuire Hall, and it was amusing entertainment. Senior Dramatic Society, with Miss Daggy as sponsor and Barbara Hodapp as president, enabled its members to become better acquainted with the dramatic arts. The play Are You Mr. Butterworth? was to have been given this spring, but was canceled owing to difficulties in procuring a cast. An old-fashioned mellow-drammer, Pure as the Driven Snow, was the senior class play this year. Given in McGuire Hall three nights, under the direction of Mr. Nor- bert Silbiger, the production was one of the best class plays in recent years. Its success was due to the hard work of the cast, the director, the committees, and the assistant director. Bob Crane. ARE YOU MR. BUTTER- WORTH?

Sponsored by Mr. Miller, members of the club learn to take pictures, to develop and to enlarge them during the course of the year. Dick Partridge, official photographer for The Pierian, and Loren Grimm, who assisted him, are both members of this club. MOVIE OPERATORS The members of this club not only have the opportunity to learn the operations and workings of a movie camera, but they also receive extra credits for their work. The boys and girls work in pairs every hour of the day. This group, sponsored by Mr. Alexander, has shown 200 reels of film and fifteen sets of slides to ten departments in the school.

MUSIC — THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE Those in the R.H.S. Music Department not only receive training, but they also give many interesting and entertaining programs for the school anci for the city. Members of the Band, Orchestra, Choir, Pep Band, Girls ' Orchestra, and Boys ' Glee Club are all a part of the large music department under Mr. Ben Graham, supervisor. Besides these organizations, there are courses devoted to music apprecia- tion, theory, and harmony under Miss Mary Minnick. The work the Music Department does is valuable in keeping the appreciation of fine arts and culture at a high ebb in our school and community. The success of the music training in high school is evidenced by the many students who have had their training here and are now successful musicians. Even for those who do not go into music as a career, it provides a fine back- ground in all types of work and teaches the individual to appreciate the better things of life. An additional part of music training is the use of the Mc- Guire Hall organ. Shown at right is Rudy Oelklaus at the console. Pupils who took ad- vantage of this organ practice were Virginia Duke, Lucille Robinson, Marilyn Pfeiffer, and Carolyn Commons. J- f ' -. - i :t% BAND Strike up the band — yes, the stirring marches and overtures of the R.H.S. band are familiar to almost every high school student. This year ' s band under the direction of Mr. Graham, though smaller than usual, proved a fine morale builder and played for many civic and school affairs. This year ' s sixty-six piece band played a winter concert in McGuire Hall and also pre- sented a concert before the entire student body this spring. Both programs were diversified with all types of music being played. Besides the concerts, the band also participated in several bond rallies; played and marched at athletic contests, and played at one of the junior high schools. They also were on the program of the Bond-bardment held in Civic Hall. Though it demands lots of hard work and practice, each of the band members receives valuable training, and their hard work is displayed in the fine programs. PEP BAND This year ' s newly-organized pep band played at pep sessions, and traveled to an out-of-town basketball game. Though there were only ten members, the band put out a lot of swing and rhythm.- The band was first led by George Mariani and later by Ray Luby. ' f - ' . ORCHESTRA Anyone who has been in McGuire Hall fifth hour has heard the orchestra practicing. This year ' s group, under Mr. Graham ' s direction, though small in numbers, played a number of programs through the year, and each time they played, they gave their audiences a musical treat. The forty members of the orchestra worked hard and proved what careful study and good cooperation can do for a musical group. The orchestra was an important factor in the success of the operetta, Pirates of Penzance. All the programs the orchestra played were varied since the group plays a large variety of numbers. In playing these selections, the musicians are able to become better acquainted with the great works of many composers. ALL GIRLS ' ORCHESTRA This group is the only all-girl musical organization in high school. They took part in one of the pep assemblies, dressed in their snappy red jackets and dark skirts. Under Miss Min- nick ' s competent leadership, the energetic girls had an eventful year. THE CHOIR The program was excellent! — This is the comment given after any performance by the Richmond High School Choir. It is highly acclaimed wherever it goes, and the students of R.H.S. are very proud of its efforts. Something new was added to the choir this year when the Richmond public provided the organization with beautiful robes. The 1942-43 choir, which was one of the largest ever, participated in numerous activities along with its annual performances. An impressive Christmas program was given in addition to other presenta- tions before the student body. As was customary, the choir took part in the senior functions. This fine musical organization is under the directorship of Miss Mary Minnick. BOYS ' GLEE CLUB This Glee Club is one of the few organizations in R.H.S. which is open to any boy who would like to belong. Many boys are not in the Choir, and Boys ' Glee Club affords a good opportunity for them to sing. Though the club meets only once a week, and the meetings are short, the boys enjoy singing, and learn fundamentals of vocal harmony and also about the folk songs of many lands. The club gave a Golden Jubilee ministrel which was well re- ceived, and was a credit to the boys and their director, Miss Minnick. ' PIRATES OF PENZANCE For the second year, the Richmond High Choir presented a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, Pirates of Penzance. The operetta was presented for four nights and was a financial as well as an entertainment success. The orchestra played the accompaniment, and the art department assisted by building the scenery. The presentation gave many students an opportunity to participate, and their work was well rewarded since all who witnessed the Pirates agreed that it was a splendid production.

Girl Reserves will never forget these girls, and these girls will never forget G.R. They ' ll never forget — days at summer camp, searching for group names, the scrap metal telephone campaign, 523 fellow members, planning the Winter Waltz and the Flower Flirt, dressing dolls for Christmas, making tourney ribbons, selling poppies, fretting over group meetings. Miss Murphy — how they loved her, and the tears shed when it was all over. These are the memories of the Cabinet of ' 43. To the Cabinet of ' 44 — may your memories be as pleasant.

ATHLETICS On the gridiron, hardwood, diamond, cinder path, and in the intramural con- tests, R.H.S. athletes, while producing an enviable record of victories, displayed an untiring spirit of cooperation and sports- manship. ATHLETICS MAKE THE MEN OF TOMORROW Leading, helping, and counseling some of the finest athletes ever to carry the colors, fight, and spirit of Richmond High was the coaching staff of the Athletic Department: Elder Ebie Eberhart, director of athletics, and coach of baseball and track; Richard Tiernan, U.S.N.R., coach of football; Palmer Sponsler, coach of baseball; Victor Scott, coach of fencing and golf and sponsor of intramural basketball. Working with these coaches at every step in organizing and carrying out the administrative end of these sports were the faculty managers : Clarence Chase, basketball ; Lowell Rivir, track ; and Ray Treasure, baseball. . -■:! NOISE-MAKERS The big noise of Richmond owes much of its success to our hardworking yell leaders — Jack Cahoon, David Davenport, and John Beasley. Under their leadership, Richmond became known this year as one of the finest and hardest yelling team-backers in the state. UNSUNG HEROES A manager seldom hears the roar and applause in his ears, but his spirit and hard work are indispensable to the fighting spirit and high morale of the team. Managers this year were Stircle Patterson, basketball; Tom Trick and Jimmy Cahoon, football; Eugene Kluesener, baseball; and Earl Chamness, track.

DEVIL GRIDDERS WIN 6— LOSE 2 Six wins and two losses — that was the record Coach Dick Tiernan and his gridders brought R.H.S. this season, and it ' s one of the finest records any football team has ever made here. In the initial encounter, the Devils fell victim to a veteran Frankfort eleven, 13-0, after they had held the Hot Dogs scoreless during the first half. Board Ripple provided the op- position in the first home game, but the Rockets couldn ' t hold down the surge of Devil power. Four touchdowns from passes, long runs, and fine team spirit gave the Richmond boys their first win, 26-0. Carrying their scoring punch to New Castle, they crushed the Trojans, 41-0, a feat which marked the first time a Tiernan-coached eleven had pushed over more than forty points. ' WIN THIRD STRAIGHT Splendid blocking and some beautiful long runs gave the local eleven their third straight victory when they overpowered a hitherto unbeaten McGuffey team, 7-0, on our field. On the following week, the Red-and-White juggernaut rolled over Portland, 41-0, in a game which displayed the power of the R.H.S. regulars and reserves to best advantage. During these past four games, the Tiernanites had rolled up 115 points and held their opponents scoreless for eighteen straight quarters. This record shows Jseyond doubt that the Devil squad was well-balanced on both defense and offense. ON THE GRIDIRON Traveling to Knightstown for their next game, the Devils were held to a 7-7 tie for most of the game by a hard-fighting Memorial eleven, but a fourth quarter rally by the Devils clinched their fifth win, 14-7. INDIANS ARE SCALPED The Anderson Indians, a conference foe, came on the warpath to the lair of the Red Devils, but they were scalped as a well-oiled Devil machine at top form made the Indians their sixth victims, 20-6. A powerful Tech eleven invaded the local field on Homecoming night, and the Richmond squad could not quell the Green Wave. After sixty minutes of hard play- ing, Tech emerged victorious, 26-7. When the season closed, the R.H.S. gridders could look back on a fine record, a good place in the North Central, and a year when they had exhibited not only a superior brand of football, but spirit of cooperation and good team morale. Coach Dick Tiernan, who for the past seven years has coached both football and track teams, left in December for the Navy. Tiernan, who has been resposible for many fine Devil squads, is now a Naval-Pre-flight instructor, stationed at Iowa City, Iowa. THUMBNAIL SKETCHES OF THE DEVIL GRIDDERS LINEMEN Ralph Holmes, left end, vt. 170 — he pulled several games out of the fire with his phenornenal pass-catching. Don Aldaffer, left laddie, wt. 200 — a hard-driving tackle who was bad news for the opposing backs. Bill Ellison, left guard, wt. 180 — short and muscu- lar, he opened many holes for our backs. Dick Endsley, center, wt. 145 — little dynamite, driving on both offense and defense. Mike Marsio, right guard, wt. 145 — curly-haired Mike was always in there blocking and tackling. Fred Brusher, right tac le, wt. 160 — a power- house on the right side of the line. Norman Parshall, right end, wt. 150 — consistent and dependable on pass-snatching and holding back the enemy. John Kalugyer, left tactile, wt. 180 — Long John was a bulwark on the line and opened many holes. Bob Miller, reserve end, wt. 170 — Bob was in there fighting every time he played. BACKS Dwaine Dickinson, quarterback , wt. 135 — a quick-thinking, hard-running field general. Eugene Brown, left half, wt. 180 — fast as light- ning, powerful as a streamroller, he made many fine long runs. Harry Davidson, right half, wt. 165 — he also played right end, but his specialty was heaving passes. Wilson Spicer, fidlbac , wt. 165 — his fine block- ing and hard running paved the way for many Devil touchdowns. Bob Rodefeld, reserve bac , wt. 150 — Dutch as a hard-hitting back who was driving every minute. Tom Quigley, right half, wt. 150 — a high-step- ping halfback and a valuable player on defense. 1942 R. H. S.

ON THE HARDWOOD An under-the-basket scramble during the Jeff game at Civic Hall. DEVIL NETTERS WIN N.C. CONFERENCE A team with a fighting spirit and a fine coach brought R.H.S. its first North Central Conference victory in basketball in its sixteen years of competition in the Conference of Champions. This conference victory came as a climax in a season when the Devil netters had compiled an enviable record of fourteen wins and four losses. Starting, the year with only three veterans, the squad opened with an easy victory over Liberty, and wheh they downed Rushville in their second contest by a score of 45-33, they were beginning to develop into a smooth-working ball club. Revenge was sweet for the red-and-white quintet when they downed the Jeff Broncos who defeated them last year. Riding on the crest of a three-straight victory wave, Richmond was unable to break the Muncie Field House j inx, and lost their first game to a weaker Bear- cat five by a score of 35-26. TROJANS FALL The highly-touted New Castle Trojans fell beneath the Devils as the locals resumed their victory wave by a score of 34-27. Returning to Civic Hall on the next night, the Eber- hartmen were hard-pressed by Riley of South Bend but emerged on the long end of a 40-39 count. After easily crushing the Connersville Spartans, 60-39, the locals engaged top-ranking Marion in what was the best game of the year. The Giants were leading the conference at the time, but the Red Devils were close behind. The game was a thriller all the way, even running into an overtime; and when the gun finally sounded ending the game, Marion had the edge 36-33. Two nights later, the Richmond five squelched a late rally by Tech of Indianapolis and sent the big Green home on the short end of a 39-36 count. On the following week, the Devils put on a great last half rally to edge out the Anderson Indians, 31-27. The Devils again tried to vanquish the Giants, this time at Marion, but failed again, losing 31-22. After this loss, the quintet picked up and dropped a fighting Logansport aggre- gation, 45-39. In the next game, Ebby ' s boys again defeated New Castle, 33-26. TEAM IN TOP FORM By this time, the team was in top form and they ranked high in the conference. The next game, which was at Kokomo, was a tough battle, but the Devils stood off a last minute drive and won 38-36. Still on the victory trail, the Red Devil quintet handed the Frankfort Hot Dogs a 35-21 shellacking. A little tired after the Frankfort game, the R.H.S. five lost to a sharp-shooting New Albany quintet, 41-39, in their next game. With the season coming to a close and with a conference victory in sight, the Devils really turned on the heat and roundly thumped those rivals, the Muncie Bearcats, by a 40-18 count, which more than avenged the defeat earlier in the season. After Tech had been defeated by Anderson and R.H.S. had won the conference, with a record of nine wins and three losses, the locals ended the season with 56-52 win over Con- nersville. DEVILS WIN REGIONAL TO JOIN SWEET SIXTEEN Not only did the Red Devil netters of ' 43 have a fine season, but they had a fine record in tourney play. Steadily improving as the games in the season went by, the boys were in good condition for the tournament. The sectional was the first hurdle in the race for the state championship. Richmond dropped Economy, 36-26, in the first game, and stepped past a once-beaten Whitewater five, 40-25. The Centerville Bulldogs provided plenty of competition in the final game, but the Devils won to annex the sectional. Inspired by the school spirit displayed in a pep session, the Eberhartmen traveled to Muncie and defeated Winchester, 48-42. That evening the Richmond quintet met and de- feated the New Castle five in one of the most beautiful displays of teamwork, passing, and cooperation ever seen in the Field House. The Devils had defeated the Trojans for the third time, 44-26, they had overcome the Muncie jinx, and they had won their first regional in seven years. In the afternoon game of the semi-finals on the following Saturday, the Devils met Marion and were defeated 44-35. Though out-scored, Richmond fought all the way and ended a great season in a blaze of glory.

Kenny Clark — always there on defense, a scrappy guard, and good on backboards. Carl Anderson — small but mighty, good on teamwork, and that never- say-die spirit. EBBY AND HIS TEN LITTLE DEVILS Mr. Eberhart — plenty of experience and an understanding friend to each of the boys. Howard Parish — long-shot artist, tough on defense, and a speedy forward. Ransom Stigleman — deceptive and fast, a threat whenever he entered the game. Harry Davidson — dynamite on hook shots, consistent on back- boards, and always a menace to the foe. Wilfred Doty — spearhead on both of?ense and defense, and he always held down the adversary ' s top scorer. Bill Porter — a loyal reserve center, dependable on tip-ins and rebounds. Chester Pottenger — promising material for next year, an all-round ball player. Versatile Gene Brown goes over the bar in the pole vault, one of his four events. First Row: Doty, Moss, Kelly.

ON THE CINDER-PATH The Red Devil thinly-clads under Coach Elder Eberhart took full advan- tage of the new track and enjoyed one of the best seasons in recent years. For the first time, the Richmond tracksters playecf host to the North Central Conference Track Meet. Though Anderson won the meet, R.H.S. placed fifth, with Gene Brown winning the shot-put and taking second in the pole vault, Wilfred Doty taking second in the broad jump, and Kenny Clark placing third in the quarter mile. Before the North Central meet, the locals had defeated Spartansburg, Cambridge City, Greenville, and New Castle in dual meets held on the R.H.S. track. Brown broke the school shot-put record with a toss of 47 feet, lo! , inches. Frank Hagie ran the quarter mile in 53.2, which was the best time in the North Central, but he left for college before the N.C. meet. Others who accounted for many points during the season were: Davis and Porter, hurdles; Kelly, half-mile; Goens, broad-jump and high-jump; Moss, mile run; Brown, 100 and 220 yard dashes; Hodgkin and Larsh, quarter mile, and the boys on the relay teams. ON THE LINKS Because of transportation difficulties, the golf team played no meets, but again engaged in the North Central Golf Meet. Returning linksmen were Dick Morgan, Ray Davis, and Don Hoover. ■n- .._mi.i_aQ First Row: Jones: Hufnagel, Weller, Bundy, Mikesell, Mills, Pottenger.

ON THE DIAMOND The 1943 edition of Coach Palmer Sponsler ' s baseball team has lived up to the fine records which R.H.S. nines have had in the past. With two veterans, Harry Davidson and Chet Pottenger, and several underclassmen, the squad rounded out into a well-balanced team. Hagerstown provided the opposition in the first two games and the Devil nine easily overpowered the Tigers. The next game with Springfield found the Devils on the short end of a 4-2 count. After this, they came back and slugged out a 15-4 victory over Shelbyville, and trounced the Liberty Warriors, 7-0. In their first North Central game with Anderson, the local nine was weak on hitting and lost 13-3. The game with Greenville was next, and again Sponsler ' s boys enjoyed a slugfest, win- ning by an 11-4 count. Pottenger, Davis, and Bundy did most of the pitching; Davidson, Mills, Mikesell, Plasterer, and Hufnagel, infield; Hyde, Quigley, Conyers, and Stigle- man, outfields, and Dickinson and Weller, catchers.
