RICHMOND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RICHMOND, INDIANA Introduction The 1946 Pierian is now in your hands. We hope you receive it as a just chmax to your three unforgettable years at Richmond High School — three years of hard work, class rooms, and social affairs. Yes, three years well spent. The production of this annual was not an easy task on the part of the staff, but if in the next decade the book brings back memories of your experiences at R. H. S., then our sacrifices and work were well spent. 1946 PIERIAN Richmond Senior High is composed of three large, beau- tiful buildings — McGuire Hall, Morton Hall, and Civic Hall.

X v OM, h)aiaM3 MtMiili D-E-V-l-L-5 DEVILS DEVILS DEVILS Dedication For her long and faithful service in Richmond High School, her sincerity and loyalty, the Pierian Staff dedicates this 1 46 Pierian to MISS ANNA BRADBURY. Coming to Morton in 191 1, Miss Bradbury taught in the Foreign Language Department thirty-four years. She has taught hundreds of students the essentials and fundamentals of a foreign language. Through her patience, understanding and guidance, many of her former R. H. S. students have prospered. Besides her usual teaching duties, Miss Bradbury was a member of the senior class commencement committee, director of the senior class play and sponsor of a Girl Reserve group for a number of years. During her years here, she rendered outstanding service to students and faculty alike. She w ill be remembered for her strong belief in America ' s youth. f ...±.±.V} 1 1 1 v ' ' -li. 1 i -::uz J|, 1 2iss ' saass B 5 t- 3:-= - ' y. . w ' t T ' W  • ' li . ::::::;T-:. ii ' ■  7 || ' A ' . ili i I 1: i sK WtK A :■::::■ i , 1 ! !

They are, left to right, Donald Ball, Rev. Albert H. Keck, Mrs. Windsor Harris, Everett Alkire, and O. M. Sw ihart, superintendent. James J. McCauley, another member, was not present when the picture was taken. Superintendent of Schools This is the man respon- sible for the smooth run- ning of the school system of Richmond. He is a friend to every pupil and always ready to lend a helping hand. We, the class of ' 46, give a hardy Thank You for all the consideration given to us by Mr. O. M. Swihart. Principal Principal Paul C. Garrison has been with us for only one year but during that time he has acquired many fond acquaintances among the students and the faculty. R. H. S. reconversion from accelerated war-time schedules to normal peace-time ones has been no small task, but Mr. Garrison has taken it in his stride with the ease and grace of one who had acted in this capacity his entire life. Deans James C. Farmer, known as the wit of R. H. S., can be counted on to come through with the right thing when the time comes. Always willing to contribute enthusiasm, he remains, to the graduates of his time, one to be remembered with the fondest regards. Miss Gladys B. Erdahl, dean of girls, has proved herself to be the real friend in need. Sincerity, understandability, and patience plus the desire to set aright those who are entering the long, weary road of life, compose the at- tributes of our unforgettable dean of girls ' outstanding character. Among his many other responsibihties Mr. Garrison takes time to help count points and hours for students. Here he is shown with John Opel, a senior, finishing a schedule. Answering phones, typing, running errands and answering student and faculty inquiries are only a few of the duties of the office force. Left to right the stafiF consists of Mrs. Neil Logue, Barbara Smith, Mary Schneider, Mrs. Helen Davenport, Joan Puckett, Marcia Peters, and Pauline McWhinney.

Foreign Language Knowing a foreign language is considered important in the cultural world.

Members of the Foreign Language Department include: front row, left to right. Miss Elizabeth Smelser, Ph.B.; Mrs. Carrie Lane Charles, Ph.B.; and Miss Martha Clark, A.B. Fine Arts Never tiring, ever patient, Mrs. M. F. Johnston continues to lecture students on the fine points of art. In the upper photo we see her with Miss Violet Adkins, art teacher. Although Miss Adkins has been with us for only one year, she is already a favorite among her students. One of the convocations that was most entertaining and interesting to the social studies students was that of Dr. Dudley Crafts Watson, who spoke on Latin American countries. In the Home Economics Cottage Leatrice Hill and Lucile Caskey put into action some of the things they learned in Home Nursing. Barbara Vossler acts as patient. Counselors Left to right are the Richmond Senior High School counselors: Miss Erdahl, dean of girls and tenth grade counselor; Miss Hicks, eleventh grade counselor and head of pro- grams and schedules; and Miss Crabb, senior counselor and head of vocations and careers. These three members of the faculty are always ready to help a pupil in need, giving advice in vocational as well as in academic problems. Scenes at School Honor Roll The honor roll of Richmond High School is the most outstanding of its kind in Wayne County. There are two plaques, both of which are placed in Social Hall. The first plaque was purchased in January, 1943, while the second was purchased in November of 1943. The money secured from the scrap drive helped to pay for both. Listed are 1,004 names of service men and women from Richmond High School who have served and are still serving. Even though the war has ended, our boys are still going into the service and naturally there are more names to be added. The result is that another plaque must be purchased. This is to be bought by the student activity funds. The list includes everyone who has served in service since the beginning of the war. Gold stars have been placed beside the names of those who gave their lives, so that we might live in a free country, so that you and I may attend school, and live a life of happiness. This memorial for all the servicemen of Richmond should be kept and cherished so long as there is a Richmond Senior High. A View of the Tower Summer School Approximately 350 students attended summer school in 1945. Some of these students were finishing their credits so as to earn the coveted diploma. Of that number nearly 100 were junior high students, or those who were to come to R. H. S. for the first time in the following fall. Although seniors had already experienced the pomp and glory that attends the presentation of the diplomas, James Farmer was on hand to dis- tribute them. Shown here with Mr. Farmer is Pat Carnes receiving her diploma. Pat v as one of the few to make this her final day of R. H.S. Concentrated study, a good attendance and little of the usual foolishness were necessary to be able to survive the accelerated schedule upon which classes were being run.

Girl Reserves The largest organized club in school, Girl Reserves, is co- operatively sponsored by the high school and Y. W. C. A. Activities and programs are governed by selected girls known as the cabinet. Each member of this cabinet is in turn the leader of a group of girls divided according to interests. The club has quite a few major activities carried on in addi- tion to the individual group programs. The groups sponsor two dances a year, this past fall dance being called The Drift and Dream. Miss Janet Land is the faculty sponsor of the organization. - . s ' ? ' h t t . Art Appreciation The president of the club is Joe ElHott, Shirley Clay is vice-president, and Martha O ' Niel is secretary. This club, which meets Tuesdays during home room period, discusses different kinds of art. Mrs. Johnston, Miss Mills and Mr. Milleson all have given talks to the club, and there have been discussions on art as a hobby and as a job. The various types of jobs are fashions, designing, commercial and layout. Sketch club meets after school on Tuesdays with a small group of pupils who are interested in art as a profession. These students pose for each other. This is a club in which the pupil may do any kind of art project he desires. Miss Violet Adkins i? director of these clubs. - J - J - - ' o- H S. on the Air Hey, we ' re on the air in two minutes, announces someone excitingly. The room grows exceedingly quiet, and the cast take their places as they hurriedly look over their script. Then the program begins and for fifteen minutes everything goes smoothly. All this may sound easy, but for the members of R. H. S.-on-the-Air, this program means work. Yes, seven days of it. The club was organized early this fall under the sponsorship of Miss Martha Clark. The president is Gene Emerick, and secretary is Helen Bostick. The members of this club are talented and also interested in radio. To them the public ' s opinion of the school depends a lot on their type of work. Some of the jobs which are filled by members are script writers, M.C. ' s, pianists, vocalists, and general announcers. R. H. S.-on-the-air has a weekly program every Saturday from 6:00 to 6:15. This year the club has been very active and promises to do a good job again next year. First row: Bob Shafer, Fred Schlotterbeck, Dick Denny, Paul Armbruster, Bob Hawkins, Bub Cutter.

S. which is not only good for the club members themselves, but it also is a benefit to the community. It consists of eight committees. Heading this list is the membership com- mittee, which acquaints the school with the principles of Hi-Y. It suggests prospective candidates for club membership and prepares and administers the induction ceremony. They also arrange for an address on the principles of Hi-Y, following induction, by either the adviser, a guest speaker, or a member of the committee. Another more important committee is the service committee, which talks with responsible persons about the needs of the school and community, and lists suggestions received. It also presents to the club, at least once a month, different projects that appear to be needed, and they follow through in work- ing out details of the projects, calling on individual members. They, too, co-operate with financial committees on money-raising projects for worthy causes.

Graham, director of the Richmond High School band, and supervisor of music in the Richmond city schools, has done much to further the love of good music here. Band This is the organization which has enabled the audience at both the foot- ball and basketball games to have a taste of music with their entertainment. They are under the capable direction of Ben G. Graham, and have approx- imately 60 members. Many of those students have won places in state musical contests . . . that of which proves the caliber of their director and harmonious abilities. For this and their musical interest, R. H. S. is very proud and honored. Waltzes, marches, classical and popular selections . . . the music always pleases the ear. We students think the band is an excellent and most talented organization. Majorettes and Major Pictured below are the three drum majorettes — Nancy Hawkins, Carolyn Kennedy, Doris Feinberg — and our drum major, Ralph Burkhardt. These four versatile students deserve a great amount of credit. This last school year has seen quite a variety of maneuvers handled very capably by these spirited stepping students of R.H.S. Orchestra Although severely handicapped by a lack of experienced per- sonnel, Ronald E. Melton, new music instructor at Richmond High School, conducted the orchestra to several outstanding triumphs. Playing in concerts, assemblies, and over Radio Station WKBV, the orchestra has managed to maintain pre-war stand- ards of excellence. The organization ' s selections varied from the classical Frescobaldi Toccata to the rythmic swayings of Cole Porter ' s Begin the Beguine. The members of the orchestra have worked hard and com- bined careful study and cooperation to make the organization one of the best of its kind. Although new to Richmond High School, Ronald E. Melton has certainly proved his worth to the Richmond High School musical organization. Coming to us from Rochester, Indiana, Mr. Melton has led the Richmond High School orchestra and choir to high accomplishment in the field of musical excellence. Choir Dressed in their crimson-trimmed robes, the Richmond High School choir has sung many a song this season. In addition to their regular song fests, the choir has appeared in several out-of- school programs and broadcasts. Ably conducted by Ronald E. Melton, the choir was split into a training choir and a special choir during the spring semester. . -vy N- ■■ Jf aV.. ht - 9 f B t Vb A «L-a H t ' cbi ie-s :ic. ■) Senior Dramatic Society First row: Don Webb, Barbara Smith, Bob Sudhoff, Duke Golden, Jim Jefferis, Evelyn Henry, Ann Hoffman, Jane Duff, Johanna Eudaly.

Yes, that is the destiny of the Quill members under the able leadership of Mrs. Anne Cook. Well, maybe not exactly authors, but then it is certain that many hidden literary talents were uncovered. Cynthia Patti was the editor of the publica- tion, which was issued in the early spring. The members include: first row, Victoria Stegall, Mary Bulach, Doris Strahan, Priscilla Dilks, Shirley Bliman, Lillian Johnson, Sally Miller, Marilyn Baldwin, Betsy Turner; second row, Pat Kiser, Pat Velten, Jean Kendall, Cynthia Patti, Janet Ford, Barbara Meier, Janet Hart, Margaret Penland, Jim Maunde; third row, Charles Coulter, Henry Firth, Bill Ramey, Eugene Emerick, Harry Hendricks, Dick Rodal, John Kramer, John Martin; fourth row, Herbie Smith, Kenny Beasley, Dick PfaflF. Citizenship Day The students of R. H. S. proved to the community that they could govern themselves when Citizenship day turned out to be a real success. The students took over all the duties of the teachers, deans, and the principal. Many of the city officials and other guests saw the school run as smoothly and as efficiently as it would have had the faculty been at their regular posts. Elected by the students, Albert Cobine took over the duties of principal; Richard Lovin took over the duties of the dean of boys, and Dorothy Red- dington took over the duties of dean of girls.

Queen of Hearts Ball One of the outstanding semi-formal dances of the year is the annual Queen of Hearts Ball, sponsored by the Senior Hi-Y Club. The Ball this year featured Don Maines ' Orchestra from Anderson as the musical touch, and something new by not only crowning a Queen but a King also. The escort of the candi- date chosen Queen automatically was given the honor of being the King of Hearts. Scenes at School Junior-Senior Prom The first big spring dance of the year is repre- sented in the annual Junior-Senior Prom, a semi formal affair put on by the Juniors in recognition of the graduating seniors.

Coach Eberhart and the Devils were backed whole-heartedly by the student body in their grid efforts Richmond opened its season on the local field with a North Central Conference vic- tory over the Frankfort Nighthawks, 25-9. A brilliant passing attack teamed with hard-driv- ing Devil backs was too much for the Frankfort boys. Next the Red Devils tangled with a tough New Castle Trojan eleven and the green clad emerged winners, 20-0, in Richmonds ' second home game. The Eberhartmen played on even terms through most of the game, but four fumbles were costly to the Devil eleven. A weak McGuffey High squad journeyed to Richmond the following week, and took a 51-0 thumping on a rain-drenched field. Numerous long runs were made by the Devil backs, although a heavy downpour persisted throughout the encounter. Richmond substi- tutes played most of the game. In the Red Devils ' fourth game, Richmond lost a heartbreaker to Lafayette, 7-6, in the best game of the home season. Time ran out on Richmond in the first half as the ball rested on the Jefferson six-inch line. A completed long Lafayette pass netted the opponents victory after the Red Devils had outplayed them most of the contest. Richmond then made their first appearance away from home when they traveled to Rushville. The Red Devils won, 20-6, after stopping a Lion passing attack. R. H. S. backs made several long runs on interceptions. The Lawrenceburg Tigers came to Richmond next, and the Red Devils took the visitors in stride with a 39-6 win. It was Richmond ' s fourth and final victory. Anderson then played host to the Red Devil gridders, and the highly rated Indians had to settle for a 13-13 tie. The game, which was the Devils ' fourth North Central Conference tilt, was very rough. Richmond finally ended their season at Indianapolis, with a 34-6 setback. The Tech Green Wave had little trouble in running five touchdowns over the Red Devil eleven. Basketball Coach Floyd Baker ' s R. H. S. Red Devils squad ended a very successful season in the Semi-Finals of the Indiana cage tourney with a disheartening defeat by the Central Tigers of Fort Wayne. Baker ' s Boys however made up one of the finest quintets ever assembled in Richmond basketball history in winning nineteen games while dropping seven. Although Richmond ended up fourth in the North Central Conference, the Devil five was a steady menace to each and every foe they faced. The Associated Press sports writers ranked Richmond eighth (after jumping to second at one time) in the final all-state cage poll. Richmond ' s first game of the 1945-46 season at Civic Hall was a definite triumph for the Devils as Richmond fast-breaked the weak Warrior five to a 56-22 tune. Injuries and illness hit the Satans and R. H. S. skidded into a three-game losing streak. Rushville ' s eager Lions downed Richmond in an exciting tilt 52-42. Lafayette ' s on-rushing Bronchos had little trouble in beating the Richmond boys 55-38 while the Bearcats of Muncie Central trounced the Devils in a thriller 39-35 on the local hardwood. A staunch New Castle Trojan squad traveled to Richmond the following Friday and the Bakermen hit the victory trail again in a 33-31 thriller. This marked the first game since the opener that the regular Satan line-up had been in action. Richmond traveled to Evansville the next day and met defeat at the hands of Gene Jerrell of Bosse and company, 54-41. The Red Devils kept the fast Bosse pace until the half but endurance ran out in the third quarter. Our Red Devils came back strong the next week and started a winning streak that lasted through nine victorious contests. Richmond ran over Art Gross ' Connersville cagers 41-28 at Connersville. On December 22, Coach Baker took the under-rated Devils to Muncie for a holiday invitational tournament. Richmond made free-throws count in edging out Marion 38-35 in the afternoon game and Central Fort Wayne thrashed the Muncie boys. The Satans came back that night to trounce a surprised Fort Wayne five 40-21, thus winning the tourney trophy ! Tech of Indianapolis was next on Richmond boys ' list and Indianapolis was defeated in a rough and tumble game, 31-25. Anderson ' s highly-rated Indians came to Civic Hall the next Friday for the top game of the week. Lenny Rhodes matched and out-played Jumping Johnny Wilson as Richmond won 30-27. A week later Baker ' s boys.showed their real strength as they put on the steam to down the Marion Giants 56-30 on the local court. The next game that Richmond played will probably be remembered most by both Richmond and New Castle fans. With seven seconds remaining and R. H. S. three points behind, Rhodes stole the ball and hit a field goal. Rhodes was fouled on the play and hit his free throw to tie the game 37-37 after the gun had sounded ! Richmond came back in the third overtime period to win 41-39. Logansport ' s Berries played hosts to the Red Devils next, and the Bakermen came through with their eighth straight triumph, 55-48, in a free-scoring encounter. Richmond had a close call in the next home game with the sharp-shooting Burris of Muncie Owls. The Satans led throughout the game, but the Burris boys stayed in range. The Devils finally won, 52-50. Little Maurice Conwell and the Kokomo Wildcats came to Richmond the following Friday, and swamped the Red Devils 55-31. Conwell turned the game into a nightmare for the locals, scoring 25 points. Richmond traveled to Frankfort and lost again in a free-scoring close game, 52-47. A highly-rated New Albany quintet invaded Civic Hall, and the Devils trimmed the down-state five, 34-32, in a rough and tumble contest. Top picture: Action shot of the Red Devils during practice.

After being behind at the halftime by a high margin, Richmond came back to down a rugged Spartan team, 38-33, in an erratic tilt. For the last game of the season the Richmond Boys went to Muncie to meet the Central Bearcats. Though getting oflf to a slow start, the Red Devils scored 19 points in the last quarter to win 48-31 over a dazed Muncie Quintet. tr B Team The Richmond High B team completed the ' 45- ' 46 basketball season with a record of eleven wins against only seven setbacks for a percentage of .611.

The Road was hard for the Devils, and they gained recognition throughout the state. In the Bakermen ' s first game of the I. H. S. A. A. tourney, the Red Devils downed the Whitewater Bears, 59-39, in a fast contest. The Bears didn ' t give up, but they were outplayed from the start. Lennie Rhodes tallied 21 points before retiring in the middle of the fourth quarter. Richmond met the Hagerstown Tigers in their second tournament contest, and trimmed the Tiger quintet, 46-40. The Devils had a comfortable lead late in the third quarter, but con- sistent left-handed shots by Jim Cory of the Tigers put Hagerstown in range. With the score tied at 40-40 and only a few minutes left, Dave Bruck sank four free throws in less than a minute to insure Richmond the victory. In the finals of the Richmond sectionals, the locals met a staunch Fountain City five. The Little Giant quintet were good ball handlers and made a very high percentage of their shots. Fountain City led most of the way, and was never behind more than four points. The Satans were on the short end of the 14-9 quarter score, Fountain City led by three points at the half, and had a one-point lead starting the fourth stanza. The lead see-sawed until with two minutes left, Thurman Wright sped under twice for four points and Richmond had a 51-48 margin. Hunt came back with a field goal, but Rhodes hit to make it 53-50. Fountain City hit again, and Richmond had the ball. The Devils stalled the game until the gun sounded and the Bakermen won, 53-52. The second game of the afternoon at the regionals in Muncie saw Richmond overpower a small Farmland team, 46-29, without the aid of Dave Bruck. Dudley Moore and George Britton filled in nicely for Bruck, who had just recovered from influenza. Farmland fought hard, but consistent Red Devil backboard work paid off for the Satans. In the night game Richmond took on a Muncie Bearcat five for the third time in the season. The Bearcats, who upset New Castle, made Richmond play hard the whole game. Again, with time running short, the Devils were behind, 31-28. Coach Baker sent Dave Bruck into the game, and Lennie Rhodes went out on personals. Bruck was Johnny on the Spot with two quick field goals as the R. H. S. cagers won 32-31. At the Muncie Semi-final the next Saturday, Richmond lost to Central of Fort Wayne, 49-43. George Britton tied the score at 40-40 and time ran out. In the overtime Bob Pottenger hit a field goal and a free throw to give Richmond a 43-40 lead. With Rhodes and Beasley both out on fouls, however. Fort Wayne Central broke loose with a nine-point attack that didn ' t stop until the gun sounded. Fort Wayne Central went on to the state finals and was beaten by the Anderson Indians for the state championship. During tournament play Richmond scored 169 points while opponents tallied 130. The three seniors on the team, Rhodes, Bruck, and Wright, averaged over 10 points per game in tourney play.
