JVi. L. SttOi m school. iiJyoa, What makes the school is up to you . . . It ' s what you think and what you do. It ' s how you act, and what you say; It ' s you each hour of every day . . . There ' s a time to laugh, a time to pray . . . It ' s the goals you set, and the plans you lay. It ' s the coaches, the principal; teachers and deans . . From the day you begin, you learn what it means . . It ' s study and work, music and fun . . . It ' s sports, and it ' s yelling for vict ' ries won . . . It ' s the dances and plays, the clubs and the shows . . You go on through school; you know how it goes. It ' s after hours, your dates and friends . . . It ' s everything ... it never ends . . . You ' ll leave, and finally when you ' re through . . . It ' s not the school . . . you ' ll find it ' s you! THE PIERIAN STAFF OF RICHMOND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL TAKES GREAT PRIDE IN PRESENTING TO YOU YOUR 1950-51 YEARBOOK, THE PIERIAN. Page 1 i makes m SCi To you . . . the students of R.H.S., we dedicate this book; G book about you; a book about the life you lead here at school, your friends, and all the things you do. There ' s a lesson to learn; a lesson that can make your school one of the finest places in which to be; a place to be proud of. As you turn the following pages, realize that they ' re a re- membrance of one of the three years you spend in high-school; three years of fun and work, play and edu- cation. And, as you turn these pages, in many years to come, if they still remind you of your high - school days, then the many weeks end hours of endless work which has been used in the making of this book for you will not have been spent in vain . . . O 018993 We should like to introduce to you, this R.H.S. junior, who, through this entire book, will be escorting you from page to page. His name is Herman; he is in homeroom 109, and he portrays, to you, a typical high-school boy . . . Page 3 Social Hall, Cafeteria, the Breezeways, and Library — fa- vorite spots where we pause at the end of each day to talk over unimportant things; friendly and happy, sincere and casual. To an onlooker, it ' s idling time away, but to us, it ' s a necessary and fundamental part of every school day; being with our friends and associates. Learning to live with others is an education in it- self Page 4 vuvyevew dan. . Page 5 Page 6 Laughs . . . laughs . . . laughs . . . Social Hall ' s filled with them, they ' re crammed into the classes, and they float throughout the en- tire building without any feel- ings of restraint. Where else like in R.H.S. can you witness such a complete and sincere liking of the school you attend? With the friendly and congenial attitudes held by all the teachers in rela- tion to the students, little less than a pleasing environment can help but arise. Every day, every class, every hour, a joke or funny situation is always popping up to provide enjoyment and vivid- ness to our school-life. Without fun, R.H.S. couldn ' t be the place that it is today, as this is one of the chief ingredients for the re- cipe of a happy and appreciated school ... Top picture going clockwise; A local bunch of goons congregate for one of those hectic slumber (slumberless) parties . . . Loretta Stone as seen after hearing a joke, (probably one of her own) . . . Beverly (eek, I ' ve been hit) Hamill and friends make use of the snow we had this light winter . . .

Page 8 Then, too, our school realizes the heavy and essential importance of the religious aspect. Not only during school hours, but in outside functions as well, no one can rightfully say our spiritual side is slighted in any way. From laughs to prayer we can readily turn, and yet get the true signifi- cance of both . . . Each morning, at nine o ' clock, we all pause a few minutes, and receive a thoughtful message for those who aspire to become better Christians. Under the sponsorship of the Y-Teens and Hi-Y clubs, these morning devo- tions are brought to us with the in- tentions of making our life at R.H.S. more friendly and religious. And, to these same two clubs, the credit for having the most impressive and sincere installation services is duly given. For the holiday devotions, the assemblies of Easter and Christmas; for these too, we give much thanks and appreciation. Yes, it can truly be said that Herman, and all the rest of us have been deeply impressed by the spiritual side of our school . . .

With the more serious side of our school, along with religion, comes the problems of its government and thoughts of looking ahead. As a freshie becomes a senior, he is thinking of his plans after he graduates; a future occupation, or attending some col- lege. To the upperclassmen, the frequent and essential confer- ences with Miss Erdohl (circle on opposite page) have proved to find the solution to many otherwise unsolved problems. Then, too, the Activities Board also plays a vital role in the developing of character and the practicing of government in our own school. In charge of Citizenship Day, they have proved that boys and girls are capable of assuming important and precise responsi- bilities. Finally, as an overseer to us all, comes our School Board. To these people, the credit for efficiently controlling our school, and granting us privileges received by few others, is justly given . . .

To these three clubs, our hots go off, as being fine examples of organizations with the future in ' mind. Understanding the happenings of the day, preparing for a future occupation, and learning how to manage a home; what could be better illustrations to prove the point that our school plans ahead for the stu- dents . . . Page 12 e CGdCi COACH BILL ELIAS Although only here for one year, Bill Elias has risen to amazing popularity, and is sincerely wel- comed by everyone to R.H.S. with hearty approval. Producing one of the finest football teams we have ever seen on our field, and encouraging an up- rising enthusiasm for wrestling, is indeed suffi- cient proof of his fine capability as coach. From those in his classes, a multitude of compliments- and praises spring out without hesitation. Friendly to all, likable and sincere; we can readily see that his presence is an admirable asset to our school . . . COACH PAT MALASKA To Pat Malaska, we give everlasting thanks for the undying enthusiasm which is packed into bas- ketball. Tho, this year, the Satans failed to go far, nothing but compliments can be in store for the up and coming Devils. A coach of rare ability and sincerity, anything short of praise and compli- ments would fall short of being a sufficient de- scription. As baseball coach, he doesn ' t hesitate to duplicate his skill in turning out top-rank squads with material at hand. Yes, R.H.S. can truly say we are proud to have Pat Malaska as our coach . . .

FARMER, Principal It may well be said that the success of any school is greatly determined by those who are in the executive position of governing it. A principal of fine integrity and genuine in- terest in his school cannot help but reflect those same desir- able traits into the school ' s own character. A more splen- did illustration could not be given than that of Mr. Farmer, and R.H.S. With incompar- able enthusiasm and sincere understanding, Mr. Farmer has striven for the betterment of our school in every conceivable way. No problem too small, no task too great, he is con- stantly found giving aid to others, while, with power and drive, his duties are continu- ously being skillfully accom- plished day in and out . . .

But, in all seriousness, truthfully we can say that these people are really tops with the student body; all of them. The skillful and congenial manner in which they can cheerfully accept jokes and teasing, and continue day in and out to teach and give constructive criticism to us, are traits everyone admires and respects. Appreciated, indeed, is our faculty staff . . . Page 18 mdi ma cms GLADYS B. ERDAHL Miss Gladys Erdahl . . . Dean of Girls . . . understanding and lenient. To her, we express sincere appreciation for the work she ' s done, while, with a genuine interest in the problems of the students, she has made us feel she is one to confide in. An able handler of our extra-curricular activ- ities, she has remained a friend to us all; and for the confidence she has placed in us with earnest frankness and patience, we are all duly thankful. Tho always on the go, we can never find her too busy to pause, for a brief talk, to clear our prob- lems . . . JOHN M. HOUGHLAND Our Dean of Boys, Vice Principle and attendance officer has greatly impressed us all with his efficiency and patience, and his understanding counseling is a necessity in our school. While the nature of his job tends towards strictness, he has remained both friendly and cheerful to everyone, and, in sincere attempts to create mutual un- derstanding between himself and the stu- dents, he is a master. If he ever is called upon to take over the duties of the principal, he again shows his outstanding capabilities as a man well-qualified for his position . . . Page 19 wm we a jouh in.,. Who can forget that first day when we were all so raw and green; unaccustomed and foreign — when we were found sneaking down to the cafeteria, to try to avoid carry- ing all those trays? Remember that uncomfortable feeling we all used to get when anything wearing yellow cords went by — those tickets for elevator rides? But, out of all this torture and agony ' a presentable class always manages to survive, and from what we can see, the class of ' 53 is certainly off to a good start. Already, they ' ve begun to take on responsibilities and accept jobs and accomplish them with superior results. You ' ve got two more years to go (and don ' t kid yourself, they go fast), and here ' s hoping that you stay as nice and friendly as you are now . . .

So, for the present, we ' ll say good-bye to you freshies, leaving with you, our best wishes for success in ' 52 and ' 53. And, regard- less of all our ribbing, we think you ' re great. Don ' t lose the fine start that you already have, but keep adding to it, and make a fine name for yourself. You ' re loaded with ideas, brains, and out- standing personalities, and we say to you, the best of luck . . . xtsSih,„ Naturally, this is expec- ted to be the smallest section in the entire book, but, just for the appease- ment of the faculty and for the mere sake of for- mality, we have devoted approximately two whole pages to study . . . Page 24 Study - study - study - egads, what a subject! But, nevertheless, we have it, and plenty of it, too. We can certainly be thankful for the wide range of electives we have, for they surely make our school day more lively. To be allowed to study the subjects of our own choice is a privilege which very few other schools are capable of offering, and fewer still actually do. So, in some respects, for this necessary menace, we are still grateful . . . Upper left picture, going clockwise: Six of us are found cramming for an exam, at 7:59 on Monday morning, half-way up the stairs ... A classroom full of girls, with their heads all bowed, are laboriously taking down dictation, with the exception of Miss Noelker (2nd row, 3rd bock), who is engaged in writing a note to somebody, and doesn ' t wont to get caught, or else, just wanted to get her face in the picture . . . Miss Betty June Keesling, one of our six-point stu- dents, has managed to receive on A-plus overage for three years, now. She is shown below, while checking up on some detailed research, on Einstein ' s theory of evolution, and we of the staff wish to thank Miss Keesling for breaking away from her work for a moment, in order to pose for this picture . . . Senorito Clark has just uttered something foreign in Spanish, and for fear of missing something good, the entire class is trying to figure it out . . , Page 25 . ma won Going along, side by side with study, is work, and, in a broader sense, the two are the same. It ' s obvious enough that study is work (ask any boy or girl in high school), and, also, work can be termed as a means of study. But for our purposes, and those of this book, we shall consider work as that which is not done in class; extra work, and outside activities. Attempts shall be made to give the praise and credit to those people who are always out of the lime-light, seldom receiving the honor for doing jobs unseen, yet necessary and vital . . . Page 26 Herman was working on a chemistry experiment in Mr. Miller ' s room on March 17, and this picture is of him immedi- ately after he took someone up on the dare that he wouldn ' t shake what he had in that bottle. For the next six pages, he will not be seen, owing to obvious, unmentionable circumstances. Below: Merely for the sake of disproving the theory that yearbooks pop out of someone ' s sleeve, here is a picture showing the remnants of the Fall Pierian staff haggardly drooped over the desk in Room 315, as Mr. Peacock, sponsor, tells them they have bitten off a little more than they can chew. Yes, work - work - work, and this year, more than ever before, it ' s beginning to show results. In Dudley Johnson ' s speech training, Richmond is starting to win its share of first, second, and third places in contests all over the state. As this book goes to press, some of the final awards have not been made, but for those already won, we feel Mr. Johnson is responsible. This uprising enthusiasm in public speech, we are certain, is in all means, a tribute to the power and drive he has used to get it accomplished . . . Page 27 There is no other way to attain what you desire than to work for it; no other way. And, when your goals are finally reached, there comes with them, a feeling of accomplish- ment and pride. Whether those wishes be great or small, for tomorrow or the far future, they cannot be achieved through any other means . . . 4b ' WZ Yes, you work and work and work. For some people, a school day doesn ' t end at 3: 1 5; it goes on and on. For each play you ' ve seen this year, hours and hours of tedious rehear- sals have been completed, along with the weeks of labor used by those tireless stage- crews in fixing up sets and props. And, each Block-R ' s performance has been backed by endless work-outs after school. Then, too, for the decorations which make our for mal dances so complete, that time has been donated by a charitable few. The work on things like this is constant, and it must be prompted by a sincere interest and an earnest aspiration for its achievement ...

Into every happening of great significance, whether in the church, home, or the school, to odd the presence of music is in a definite way, a sure means of multiplying its beauty and vivid- ness. An exuberant portion of music can long be remembered after words have been forgotten; its being is to be looked upon as a form of luxury, its absence, a form of poverty. Music is an enricher, and its value is price- less. It can set a mood; tell a story, and when it ' s gone, an emotion is powerless to attain its highest peak. Here, in R.H.S., the pleasure and enjoyment music provides in holiday activ- ities and religious gatherings, OS well as in sports, cannot be described to the fullest, for with- out it, the splendor and vastness of all these would be lost. So, we devote this next section to praising music here in high school, those participating in it, and its directors . . . Page 31 To us of R.H.S., one of the many things of which we have the right to boast, is our Concert Choir. Being repeatedly called back, year after year, to give request programs for organizations in Rich- mond, and participating as guest performers in choir meets all over Indiana, leads us to believe that ours is one of the finest choirs in the state. Under the superior directorship of Ronald E. Melton, they have proved to us, that a school can easily excel in more than one field. No one can readily forget the much anticipated caroling in the halls at Christmas, or the beautiful hymns at Easter, and, above all, their two concerts each year. Impressively incomparable and unusually forceful, the voice of this choir is one to be lavishly praised . . .

To the left: Fifteen minutes before the assembly, the robes undergo a minor mauling to get upon the backs of their owners, on time, and in order. After, tho, they are carefully hung up on the rocks again, and there they rest until the time for another performance comes around.

Page 33 BAND Our band has, through the years, always assumed a position of great importance in the school, and altho their praises are sel- domly sung enough, we feel that they are an efficient organiza- tion which excels in its field. Under the cqpable directorship of Ben Graham, they have pre- sented us with a variety of types of music, both in concerts and games, which few other school bands have been able to boast. Colorful, forceful, and magnifi- cent; they expose to their aud- iences evidence that they ore tops when it comes to music, and for their impressive actions at football and basketball games, we take off our hats. A fine band, under excellent supervi- sion . . . Page 34 At the basketball games, much of the event ' s importance is terrifically intensified by their playing of the band numbers which we have enjoyed throughout the season. As a prelimi- nary booster, this organization ' s con- tributions to the night ' s happenings at Civic Hall, have not only been to entertain the crowd, but to build-up that ever-important anxiety for the game which is about to follow . . . For those fancy and high-stepping major and majorettes, we give an extra round of applause, as reward for the extra touch of class that they give to the bond ' s excellent performances throughout the year. Precise and vig- orous, we feel their greatest highlight is the impressiveness they hove given to the flog ceremonies preceeding all our games . . . 016993 Page 35 ORCHESTRA To the orchestra, as the band, we justly give part of the credit for the beautiful job they do all year round. Exuberant in their playing of the songs we like to hear, they have won our admir- ation thoroughly as a small, but highly trained group of musi- cians. At the concerts, all leave deeply impressed by the capabil- ity of their director, Ronald E. Melton, who brings from them, the inspiration to play wonderful music, and, so, not only do we appreciate their fine talent, but of them, we are deeply proud . . . Page 36 During fifth hour every day, they can be found tediously pondering line over line of their newest pieces, in informal rehearsals, and from them, they create the fine melodies which at last we hear at concert times. Yes, you can easily see, music is one phase of school-life which helps make it what it is; so, for our band, our choirs, and our orchestra, these pages in our book have been given . . . Finally, we come to the last of these four groups of our musical program, the Girls ' Choir. Originated merely for the purpose of giving all these who wanted to join together to get fun out of sing- ing, a chance to do so. At every concert, they have never failed to amaze us with the unusual handlings which they give to old and new songs we all love . . . They have every right to be proud of themselves, for they have made admirable achievements in their field, under Mr. Melton ' s excellent direction and assistance . . .

Page 37 What helps make the school is the fun it provides, as diver- sion from study and work. To be without fun, is to be plain and dull, but there is no need to fear, for our school is cer- tainly for from dull. The good times we have both in and out of doors, the pleasantness in the halls, the conversations in the cafeteria, and the pro- grams in assemblies; all these have been factors contributing to the proof that R.H.S. is a place in which not only to learn, but to enjoy yourself as well . . . One of the deserving elements for fun in high-school is this faculty of ours, and we like to think of them as one big happy family. Quickly spreading news of amusing situations, and trying to moke class pleasant are definite signs that their funny bones are on a similar plane as ours, and for this, we appreciate and ad- mire . . . Page 38 You get a second guess if you think our fun comes to a holt after sixth hour, for o little thought will lead you to remember those all- school parties, mixers, and dances you ' ve been to during the whole year; events that you ' ve enjoyed, and won ' t forget for a long time. Learning to get along happily with others, and how to have a good time are subjects in which most of us can rate an A-plus for effort and achievement both . . . Below: Here is a shot of one of those many assemblies we hod this last semester, which, in a way, always turn out to be the pauses that refresh ! Then, when half of third hour is gone, back to class . . . Page 39 its sports,,. Among all the activities of the school years, it can doubtlessly be said that sports hold the number one spotlight for almost every boy and girl. Whether his part is in the bleachers, on the field, or in the gym, there are few of us who hove failed to feel its importance and its over- whelming challenge. To pass up its opportunities, whether in par- ticipation or observation, would be in a sense, to neglect a section of your education which is not only valuable, but necessary as well. It is a phase of school-life whose strength is felt day in and out, and whose accomplishments are both widely and proudly ac- claimed. So, this next section is justly dedicated to our interests in sports . . . Page 40 FOOTBALL Football opened the sports season this year with an amazingly forceful smash! Team after team was defeated by the newly-coached Devils, until finally, in the lost game, Muncie ' s prized Bearcats were vic- toriously downed. All in all, they were extremely succe ssful, and their praises should be elaborate and glorious . . . Center picture: From the opinions of all the sports writers and news broadcasters from the North Central Conference, Bill Elias end Dick Hunt were chosen coach and all-conference quarterback of the year for the state of Indiana, and we should be deeply proud of this fine and enviable record of theirs which honors R.H.S.

At the opening of the season, the A squad started out inexperienced and green, but through their year ' s schedule, a rapid and steady improve- ment was noted in punting, passing, blocking, and tackling, until as they reached their peak in the final game against Muncie ' s Bearcats they were the best they hod been all year. Few losses and many gains are accredited to them, and their new split-T formation, introduced by coach Bill Elias, has met with many favorable comments. Though many boys will be missed next year; Washington, Johnson, Strauss, Lawson, Shockleford, Ritchie, Cook, Ferguson, Milligan, Christmon, Hurd, Cal- kins, Wettig, Hunt, Hotopp, Perkins, and Hennigor, there will still be many more who will be seen in the starting lineups next year; Edwards, Barrett, Murley, Robinson, Steel, Usher, Lockhart, Ander- son, Peters, Morris, Tevis, Bruck, Goldenberg, Bald- win, Allen, Ladd, and Rice . . .

For the B team, a successful and heavy schedule has been marked up, winning three gomes, tieing one, and losing two. Their six-game season against Connersville, Muncie, New Castle, and Anderson has been an osset to their experience, and as a result, many of them will be seen on the A squad line-up next season. Coach Jerry Bartz has pointed out such valuable players as Holthouse, Lundy, Owens, Cooper, Bostick, Brown, Horter, Evans, Chappell, Wright, Peters, Shiplett, Shell, and Charles, all who should see plenty of action next year . . .

C C. CONTEST, 20-6 been one to be remem- bered for many years to come. Newspapers have commended their plays, and praised their actions, and this year, more than ever before, record-breaking crowds hove jammed into the bleachers. To all the out-going seniors, we should like to say that their absence will be deeply felt; some of them will, no doubt, continue with their sports career in college, and if so, the best of luck to them. To those who remain, we hope that you will only be able to follow the fine example which has been set this year, and reach even higher goals for R.H.S. Bill Elias ' s first year has certainly been an impressive one, and we hope he ' s here to stay . . . Tage 44 BASKETBALL Of course, to all of us, basketball will still rank tops, regardless of its vic- tories or losses, its achievements or failures. Tho, this year, our winning scores were few, the spirit, hope, and enthusiasm for this favored sport will not die, and it still holds all the enjoyment and excitement, which Richmond fans seek from its thrill-packed games. We shall never think of disappoint- ment and discouragement now, for next year, this season ' s sacrifices will, be- yond a doubt, command higher and greater gains. And so, we enter into bas- ketball ...

Above is a picture of the A squad as we opened the season, yet later, many changes were made in the line-up throughout the year, but to all these boys, we owe the praise for the enjoyment we have received from games both in Civic Hall and away. This Hoosier madness has been supported by them earnestly and whole-heartedly, and of them all, Richmond is proud . . . Later on, Wayne Vansickle, Frank Tevis, Lamarr Lundy, and Bill Wright were added, and finished up the season with the A team . . .

By bringing forward a B team this year that was considered one of the best in the state, we have all the more trust that Malaska ' s Devils will be high and mighty on the floor in ' 52. Showing amazing speed and capability, they turned out to be the victors in 12 out of 1 8 of their games. These boys too, we will look forward to seeing up in the starting squad next year, with the knowledge that experience shall make them tops . . . Opening our fifty-one basketball season, Richmond played host to the Liberty Warriors, and as they left, we snatched up our first victory. However, this proved to be the end of our much-desired winning streak, for a long time, as following this, our Satans were forced to yield many many victories to their strong and overpowering foes. Again and again, the Devils never quite managed to pull out ahead, regardless of the power and drive put behind them by Coach Molaska, but their back- ing from the entire student body never faltered, and we all went right on plugging for our favorite five. Then, on February 2, another surprising victory come to us, as we gloriously and triumphantly smashed a win over the Frankfort ffotdogs. That night proved later to be one of the few nights that the Devils were to be blessed with a victory this year, but while it lasted, it was truly magnificenti Our victory bell rang its loudest, and cheers were slow in coming to a holt long long after the final gun had sounded, and you could sense a glimpse of the kind of a spirit everyone was anxious for the chance to show for the following games. But, then, gome after game was accompanied with defeat after defeat, in which our proud Devils had to humbly take the bock seat for other teams, and finally, after being downed by the Broncos of Lafayette, in our last game, we got ready to enter our sectionals with hope and uncertainty . . . Milton offered little resistence in our opening test, and with strong wills, we steadily faced our second foe, Courthouseless Centerville. Try and try as we did, we were finally left behind in the last few seconds of the game, and as our team went off, we knew it was for the last time this year. However, overjoyed with their new-felt power, the Bulldogs politely got moved down a couple of notches, os their muzzle was snapped on for another year, by Fountain City, and they were slowly lead bock home. And, so, all ' s well that ends well. Page 47 Whether your own team wins or loses, you cannot help but fee! that unforgetabie anxiety and tenseness which accompanies almost any game in basketball. The deep hopes that finally, some how, you ' ll pull out ahead, and be the limelighted victors in the end. So, we don ' t wish to think of shame or defeat, in judging our team this year, but remem- ber all the thrills and wonderful enjoyment they provided us with, and in that sense, they are victorious . . . No one will ever forget that exuberant joy that was ours, as we came out on top over Frankfort, that memorable night. The cheers and grins, whoops and hollars, and that welcomed clang of our familiar bell, a symbol of victory over foe! All that relief you feel; that sense of pride, when it ' s all over. And so, into the Satan ' s dressing rooms our pho- tographer went and below is what we found ... Page 48 CROSS COUNTRY Row 1: Curtis Kidwell, Kenny Street, John Juerling, Jim McPherson. Row 2: Keith Ritz, Bill Knodle, Chick Keen, Walter Caskey, Charles Laughlin, Walt Soper, Row 3: Coach Dudley Johnson, Mark Pittenger, Myron Hutson, Sam Kem, Bob DeCamp, Charles Touseull, and Jim Urton. Led by Charles Laughlin, team captain, this year ' s Cross Country squad ran both far and well. Their schedule in- cluded nine meets, in which they defeated Broad Ripple and Liberty, and lost to Tech, Marion, Muncie Burris, and Muncie Central. In both, the sectionals and the North Central Conference, they placed 6th, and coach Dudley Johnson soys the team will be built around one returning senior, Charles Keen, and other freshmen runners for a better squad in ' 52 . . .

Row 2: Elmer Burgeon, John Jackson, Ray Jackson, Coach Clarence Chase, Bob Sickman, Bob Friberg. In Tennis, our team has shown a favorable record of wins this year, with thsir schedule of 13 games, and new system of meets. Differing from the old type matches, consisting of two doubles and three singles, now each meet has two doubles and five singles, giving a more even chance for team members to participate, and preventing one strong-man on any squad from swinging the entire meet. Playing first man this year was Bob Friberg, and John Jackson was second; both boys were returning lettermen, says coach Chase. Tough opponents have fallen before our racket-eers ; Hagerstown, Marion, Muncie Burris and Frankfort, while, so far, they have lost to only Anderson and Tech . . .

Row 3: Virgil Creech, Jim Coulter, Ronald Kleman, Bob Barrett, Jim Urton, Bob Wettig, Jim Peters, Coach Pat Malaska. For Baseball, as for many other sports this year, it has been a building season, end it is backed with the hopes that in ' 52, they will be better. On the whole squad, there ore only four senior boys, and the rest are sophomores and juniors. In their schedule of 15 games, so far they have beaten Centerville and Newcastle, and lost to Muncie Central, Marion, and Anderson. Coach Malaska feels that next year, our squad will really be good, and their line of victories will be much larger, but still, this year ' s team deserves a great deal of credit for opposing tougher teams, with their in- experienced playing. The three student managers were John Call, Tom Jenkins, and Jim Haynes. Below: Waiting for their bats, a bunch of Richmond boys sit it out on the bench during the Centerville-Richmond game. We finally came out on top 8-3 over the Bulldogs, (that ' s tough, Centerville, that ' s really tough!) Page 51 GOLF TEAM Row 1: Larry Hodge, Mike Suveges, Don Evans, Von Loop, Ed Brantner, Jay Low. Row 2: Coach Palmer Sponsler, Ronnie DeMao, John Foreman, Kent Kitterman, Don Dicken, John Moriarity. Not shown in picture; Bill Portanova. This year, for the golfers, an unusually large string of vic- tories has been chalked up, by winning over Muncie, Frank- fort, Logansport, Newcastle, Connersville, Hagerstown, and falling low only to Marion and Newcastle in their second match. Also, says coach Sponsler, with only one boy to be lost this year, Bill Portanova, next season ' s squad con be ex- pected to return better than ever. In the N.C.C. they placed 5th, and they hope for more in ' 52, with eleven of their twelve men bock again. Bill Portanova was rated best golfer this year, with four boys running close seconds: Brantner, DeMao, Dicken and Foreman ...

This season, the mat-men successfully completed their 4th year of wrestling, having each boy on the squad winning at least one of his matches throughout the team ' s schedule. Against tough opposition such as Muncie Central, Tech, Lafayette, Decatur, Anderson, and Broad Ripple, they managed to win only a few meets, but considering the newness of the sport, and this rough competition, on the whole, they made a fine showing. In the sectional meet, four of our boys competed: Fred Therrien, Charles Tate, Tom Hotopp, and Dick Murley; Hotopp placing third, and Murley taking runner-up in the finals. Coach Elias loses five boys this year; Tate, Ridgeway, Hotopp, Per- kins, and Therrien, but many more returning to the squad next season will give him strong support . . .

Contrary to the thought that yester- years ' track men were superior to those of the present time, this year ' s track squad, under coach Jerry Bartz, has shown some out-standing achievements, and broken several school records, as proof that today ' s athletes are better than ever. In pole vault, Keith Ritz beat the school ' s record by 1 when he jumped 1 r3Vi in a meet against Anderson. Charles Laughlin also broke the school high in running the 880 one second faster than ever before (2 minutes and 4 seconds). Jack Edwards just missed the school ' s top by three-tenths of a sec- ond in the 440 when he ran it in 52 seconds, and Dick Murley came out 7 above the school ' s record during the con- ference meet when he threw the shot- put 48 ' 10 . Then, also, our mile-relay team ran in 3 minutes and 35V2 seconds which was only two-tenths of a second slower than ever before in Richmond ' s history. In the sectional meet, our Devils came out on top, with Jim Peters shar- ing one of the three top honors. So, all in all, it is evident that our track squad this year, is ' extremely qualified for its praise . . . Page 54 INTRAMURALS It is widely known that our annual Intramural sports plan is one that opens to everyone the chance to take an active part in sports other than the varsity squads, and for that reason, it is so greatly enjoyed. With Dudley Johnson and Mildred Stinson as sponsors, this program exists merely to give a lot of fun to a lot of kids here at school. For the boys in Intramural Basketball, the league was composed of 16 teams, and after playing 12 hard games, finally Jim Bailey ' s team came out champions over Bob Barret ' s squad with a score of 32-24. Then, in bowling, after beating Tom Milligan ' s team by one pin, Charles Mammon ' s boys came out champs according to the League ' s secretary. Bob Stanley . . . Bob Davis had the high average of 165 and Jim Hartzell rolled the high game. And, for the weaker? sex, girls ' bowling under Miss Stinson ' s sponsorship, joined the American Junior Bowling Congress. In the final game, Joyce Shew ' s squad beat out Kathleen Wolfe ' s team for the championship, and, in volleyball, Beverly Saver lead her group to a close victory over Maryann Denning ' s for the winning honors. Top picture: Whiz Noelker let ' s ' em roll, everyone turns pale, the alleys are quiet, people ' s hearts stop beating, and then, then . . . Egads! She did it! One pin! Second picture: Into the finals in boys ' ba5l .etball, these two teams played, but finally, they both lost out to Bailey ' s boys — too bad! Last picture: A couple of experts give it the l now-how twist, to come out with strikes, and each finish their third 300 games, and they take me owcy tomorrow . . . Page 55 dmiisuelm • • • Yell, yell, yell! . . . The ovations given to the Devils on the field and on the court are ones never to be equaled. With dynamic lung power, they scream out their hopes and encouragement, year after year, as definite proof of their dauntless drive for victory. The entire school body, with power and force, has backed their teams down to the last second of every game, and a quiet quarter will never be heard in Civic Hall. And so, on and on, that ever- present, never-calm crowd will continue to voice its emotions for those who represent them in the sports of our school . . . Name one school in Indiana which doesn ' t turn an envious green the minute our Block-R rips into action. Through the season, this famous group of girls ' performances are anxiously awaited by people who expect the unusual, and these expectations ore always fulfilled. Skilled, precise, accurate, and vivid; from the first game they march in until the Devil is brought down for the final time, these boosters support their teams with the best organized yelling in the state; a club of great importance in R.H.S. . . . ■■ J A t ' « _ j Ssi ■ ■— x- «M. .

Opening each year, the first big dance is given by the Y-Teens, and to start things off with a bang, they made it a girl-invite; so, for weeks, all the boys in school wore black sheets over their heads, to avoid a fate worse than death, but on the night of the big event, everyone finally showed up with his mate., and all went well. It was close to Christmas, and the decorations were brightly lighted trees which were covered with filmy angel ' s hair, and as usual, those darn souvenir hunters took half the building out the door with them, when it was all over, to put in their over-loaded scrap-books . . . Page 59 The Jr. - Sr. Prom — the third of the four formal dances each year; a toast to the seniors who ' ll soon leave. This year, it was called Petite Paris, and the idea of a French cafe was cleverly worked into the decorations. Beautiful flowers, attractive formols, attractive girls in the formals, mangled feet, droopy bow ties, and, finally, at 1 1:30, all went home . , . And so ended the night of the Prom. HER MAJESTY, QUEEN MARYANN DENNING It ' s little wonder that Mugs was made Queen of the Prom, for with her vivacious face, exuberant smiles, and easy way, there is nothing left to do but admire her. Her multitude of friends come many, thick, and fast, and they remain long and true. Always busy, and always helping others, her sweet simplicity excels as one of her most respected traits, and for fun and laughs, she ' s also Queen. A girl who ' s welcomed by every crowd, and whose magnetic character urges one to re- main her constant follower.

This year, as the snow fell down in April, the juniors once again presented their an- nual Prom in honor of the parting seniors, and it truly turned out to be an extremely successful and pleasant event. Never known to happen before, for the first time, a tie for fifth place made it necessary that six girls, instead of five, be placed up as contenders for the crown; all six of whom we think are justly deserving . . .

Page 63 The Queen of Hearts Ball . . . filmy formals, starry eyes, gor- geous flowers, sweet music, and beautiful decorations; The night when many boys take their girls to one of their most memorable occasions at high-school. dUi ' ap dys... Houselights dim, footlights rise, the curtain opens, and the play is on . . . Here is a school where you ' ll find stu- dents taking on active interest in all fields, and theatre work is certainly not to be omitted from them. Day in and out, rehearsals and back-stage plans are always found going into ac- tion, all working towards a mutual goal ... a successful production. Whether tragedy or comedy, these fu- ture Borrymores and Andersons will continue to come to the call of lights, costumes, and make-up. It ' s the kind of work and fun only those interested in dramatics can enjoy and endure . . . Page 64 Being one of the few schools in the state to possess a separate build- ing for the fine arts, it is only natural that we excel in dramatic achievement. Almost any week, you can go over to McGuire Hall and see a busy group of theatrical individuals laboriously working with flats and props and sets. Our stage is one that is modern and well equipped. The people who produce the plays are extremely proud of it . . .

In the early part of the second semester, they gave a one-act play named The Ring end the Look which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Preceding this, in December, they presented Dickens ' Christ- mas Carol, which was also an excellent produc- tion . . .

Their highest point of achievement was attained when they presented their outstanding performance of Seventeenth Summer. For the rest of their club meetings, speakers from various dramatic organizations all over the town were in- vited to speak to them. Through these talks, any Thespian will readily agree that he learned how to do everything from interpreting Shakespeare, down to painting a flat. me clubs... Certainly, anyone con agree that in R.H.S., the presence of clubs in our social life is ex- tremely important. It would be hard indeed to imagine our homeroom periods, week after week, without any diversion in the form of our liking. On the following pages, all the other clubs, not previously shown, are pictured and briefly discussed . . . Page 66 Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Dolan, the Junior Red Cross completed many worthy and worthwhile projects this season, making us all the more sure that this is one of the finest clubs in R.H.S. Marie Whittymore served as president, and this year their two big donations were joke books for the veterans ' hospitals, and Red Cross boxes for needy people overseas. To those who like to listen to music of all kinds, a better choice for a club couldn ' t have been made. Every club day, these musical-minded people gathered in McGuire Hall to listen to everything from Bach down to Tennessee Ernie. Wesley Wilson was president; Mr. Melton served as sponsor, and all semester, they kept this club thoroughly occupied and entertained. Occasionally several people presented novelty skits, and these too, were well received. RED CROSS Row 1 : Jewell King, Marilyn Lienemann, Marie Whittymore, Fred Therrien, Joan Tin- cher.

When we got into the third row, identi- fying what you see to the left, for fear of going nervous, blind, and insane, we gave it ol! up; please find yourself . . . Page 67 This is a club organized for those who wish to learn new fancy steps, old tricky ones, and other kinds that can fall into the category of dancing. Every other Wednesday and Tuesday, they could be seen assembled down in the cafeteria, learning how to trip the light fantastic toe. Miss Coulter and Mrs. Shallenburg were sponsors — and they kept this group constantly occupied, and entertained ... In the art room, this small group has spent most of their time sketching drawings, under the sponsor- ship of Mr. Loar. Very much in keeping with their objective, was their booth at the Mardi-Gras (The Art Salon) which attracted much favorable attention . . . This science club sponsored by Mr. Miller, was formed for merely one goal; to help and aid those people, who are interested in Westinghouse Scholarships, work on their projects. During these semesters, they have done just that, and the re- wards are yet to be seen . , . DANCING CLUB Row 1: Rita Patton, Joan Porter, Kathleen Wolf, Betty Sue Puckett.

Strictly for the gents; these are the only three clubs, with the exception of Freshman and Senior Hi-Y, which are reserved for males exclusively! In the Woodworking Club, boys found extra time to work en projects they had already started in class, and, under Mr. Treasure ' s able supervision, o lot of high-quality workmanship was readily turned out. Meanwhile, the boys in the two Hunting and Fishing Clubs spent mos t of their time discussing their favorite sports which, of course, were hunting and fishing. Interesting conversations and talks by Mr. Gladden, an ardent sportsman him- self, kept all the members both contented and busy, throughout each semester . . .

If you are interested in ancient history, such as the gods and godesses in mythology, this is the ideal club to join. The group found their meetings not only educational, but interesting as well, by actually studying the language of Latin. Organized for the first time this year. Miss Grothaus served as sponsor, and it looks as tho this club is here to stay . . . For girls who aspire to become future Block-R members, this Pepsters ' organization is a must. Through the semesters, these girls spend most of their time learning the handclaps, songs, and rules which are used by Block-R, and when time permits, they have lots of fun too. Occasionally, they were entertained this year with numerous skits and speakers. Under the leadership of Doris Ladd, president, the Pepsters surely had an enjoyable year . . . Pictured below is the whole big mass, and If you think we ' re going to tell you who each one Is, you ' ve got a second guess coming. Just look around and pick out the ones you want to see. aiSiniiiiiMJiiilkiiiiii . ' ililSlUMi Page 70 STABLE COMMITTEE Row 1 : Nancy Mahan, Leanne Brenneman, Suzanne Hockman.

Functioning directly through the Y.W.C.A., this Stable Board gets all the credit for sponsor- ing such events as the Street Dance, the Y-Teen Hallowe ' en Party, and ice cream socials. Also, this board continues to work on through the summer, to keep up their job of providing a lot of fun for all. The last two clubs on this page, Quill and Register, are ones which are for those who desire to excel in literary development. The Quill devotes its entire time in creating their annual book- let composed of essays, compositions, and poems which are produced by these future Long- fellows and Poes. The Register, too, is existing only for those with a journalistic leaning, and they alone deserve the bravos and cheers for printing the paper which we all have grown to know and like so well . . .

Upon the backs of these three clubs rest important duties; Three forma! dances, holiday and morning devotions, and many other important, enviable jobs. Their mutual goal is to make high school students realize the impor- tance of religion in their lives. Though the boys ' clubs are greatly respected, they fall short in strength next to the Y-Teens, mainly in number. Leading the Y-Teens, is June Coulter, (circle) who, all year, has worked untiringly on jobs, many of which have gone without praise. For her club ' s accomplish- ments, much credit should be given . . - Page 72 Y-TEEN CABINET Left to right: Carole Kercheval, Imogene Placke, Nancy Van Voorhis, Marie Whittymore, Becky Lester, Leanne Brenneman, June Coulter, Isabelle Car- penter, Raenelle Smith, Cris Furboy, Nancy Myers, Doris Ladd, Phyllis Mills. NAMELESS WONDERS Now here was really one peppy group, and their leader was none other than Leanne Brenneman. One of the most important of their service projects was that of caring for a needy family at Christmas with food, cloth- ing, and gifts. Not only did they give much of their time for worthy projects, but they found plenty left for fun at their meetings and parties. With this group of sparkling wonders, no other name was needed. Their sponsor was Mrs. Richeson. KAMPUS KATS An outstanding name; an outstand- ing group. Under the leadership of Carole Kerchevol, these girls heard o speaker from the County Welfare Agency. Prompted and inspired by her talk, they presented a skit on good health. These girls and their sponsor. Miss Grothaus, worked well together, and they considered them- selves just one big happy family. IMA-Y-GENE Imogene Plocke ' s group was one filled with ambition and zest for every activity undertaken. Around Christ- mas time, these girls reconditioned old toys and gave them to the Cere- bral Palsey Hospital for children. Just ask any girl in this group if they didn ' t have some grand times! Imo- gene fulfilled the requirements of a successful leader as did Miss Wilkin- son as the sponsor. HAPPY HOODLUMS With a leader like Becky Lester, this group was bound to have some colossal times. At the Mardi Gras, these girls were right in style with their hot shop, and they certainly did introduce some new and interesting styles. Who knows, maybe one of these girls will become a famous hat designer in the future. Their sponsor was Miss Eliason. Page 73 ISIE ' S BELLES Isie ' s Belles held fheir Y-Teen meetings in Civic Hall. Since their leader was Isabelle Carpenter, one can easily see that this group would be on the athletic side. Many of their meetings were spent in a friendly game of volleyball. These girls may be classed as a fun loving and sportsmanlike group. Miss Crobb served as sponsor. DASHING DEBONAIRES As their name implies, these girls were filled with much enthusiasm. This group took the responsibility of selling miniature basketball team pictures to the school body. They must have had some good saleswomen, for quite a profit was made. Also, this group was lucky enough to win the award of the best decorated booth at the 1951 Y-Teen Mardi Gras. Marie Whittymore was their leader, and the group sponsor was Miss Meachom. TEEN ANNIES Of all the Y-Teen groups, this can be classified as one of the unique. Led by Nancy Myers, these girls were always busy with something. At one of their meetings, a quiz show was held. It was loads of fun, and the girls agreed that this was one of their most interesting programs. Senorita Clarke was the spon- sor. RED ' S DEVILETTES Nancy Van Voorhis arid her group were kept busy the year through rush- ing like mad to get copy in on time. You see this group put out the Y-Teen scandal sheet which was very popular; Nancy ' s Newsheet. It seems these girls had a party practically every meet- ing with the profits. The credit of do- nating two magazine subscriptions to Wernle Children ' s Home may also be given this group. Their sponsor was Mrs. Parker. Page 74 PHYL ' S FLAPPERS Phyl ' s Flappers had some hilarious times in their meetings! It seems that they had quite a time keeping on the regular train of thought and frequently ended up in some rather heavy discus- sions. At the annual Y-Teen Mardi Gras, these girls were seen hustling about delivering one telegram after the other to unsuspecting boys and girls from ardent admirers. It really kept them on their toes. Miss Hicks was sponsor of this group. RAE ' S RAGGEDY ANNS Roe ' s Raggedy Anns were under the able leadership of Roenelle Smith. These girls were bubbling over with ideas, and they knew just how to use them. But, it seems that their main interests cen- tered on calories, diets, and you can guess the rest. One look tells us though, that they hod no reason to worry about such trifles. These future beauties were under the sponsorship of Miss Fornshell. LADD ' S LASSIES Although this group was compcsed of mostly juniors, they were certainly not lacking in super ideas for group programs and their booth at the Mardi Gras. These girls had quite a time coming to a decision, but their choice was a neat one. Their voice recording booth attracted a large crowd and also the attention of the judges, for Doris ' s group received the award for the best idea and the best all-round booth. The credit for being their sponsor goes to Mrs. Dolon. SINGIN ' SATANS Oris Furboy ' s Singin ' Sotons greatly enjoyed Y-Teens under her leadership. As you can readily guess, they enjoyed music in their group meetings and also tried choral readings with the assistance of Peggy Thompson. One of their most interesting meetings was a demonstra- tion of corsages. The girls only wished that they could have kept them. To Miss Stinson, the praise for serving as sponsor is given.

' ' g qflt And so, to these oncoming seniors, we say good-bye for now, with the best of luck next year. There ' s plenty of tough work ahead — Pierian, Senior Class Play, Footlights, English 6A — all that, but by giving one of the finest Proms R.H.S. has ever had, as evidence of your ability, we can ' t help but place our bets on the class of fifty-two. j oa kgm aow itjoes. . . Page 83 xis er hours. At 3:45, Mr. Coffman and Mrs. Davis pause briefly to talk about the day ' s activities . . . It ' s three-fifteen ■ — the halls are cleared, and we ' ve gone for the day. But, what makes a school doesn ' t stop here — it ' s the gang you go with and the things you do. It ' s all the extra work, and the extra fun — -those outside activities like dates, dances and shows — It ' s your general atti- tude towards everyday life. No, your school ' s spirit doesn ' t end when its last class is over. It ' s one of those things you can never put aside — that unseen impression you reflect every- where you go . . . Page 84 Look back on all the good times you ' ve had; going to the show on Sat- urday, messin ' around after the games, that wonderful night we beat Muncie in the rain, all those dances, the Mardi- Gras, and the all-school parties. All of these, they go to make up our school. That atmosphere of fun in social hall, the mad-rushes to cafeteria, and those assemblies; no, it ' s hard to say a school means just classes and books, there ' s a whole lot more . . . • Page 86 merm m... Oh, the relief that comes after a hard day ' s work, and you find yourself out in the open air, (with an armload of books)!

You have ambition and tal- ent, courage and smiles, and there ' s no class, ever to leave R. H. S., of which anyone has the right to be more proud . . . Page 88 Yes, you ' ll leave ... So here they ore, seniors. This time you walk down that aisle, it ' ll be for keeps, and you ' ll know that all this is over.

What it does or doesn ' t do, its good or bad parts, they ' re all, in the end, ac- credited to you. To those who leave, as seniors, we extend the best of luck in your future activities, and, to those who remain, the same for the rest of their years at R.H.S And so, we ' ve come to the time to leave and say good-bye to Herman and all the rest. Then, in 1952, perhaps you ' ll see him again along with many other juniors and freshmen. But for now, he goes, leaving with you ail these fond memories; memories of this wonderful and glorious year of 1951 ...

It ' s been a long long drag, but, in a way, it was worth it. To start with, there were twelve of us, all willing, innocent, and eager; pictured below are the ones who have struggled on, and finally survived. We look a little tired, we smell like rubber cement, and we know how to spell everybody ' s first, middle, and last name as if it were our own, but, egads, the relief we feel now that it ' s all over, you ' ll never know ! Sincerely, THE PIERIAN STAFF (all four of us) m p- Above: (the Pierian staff) Leanne Brenneman, Jacky Ayers, Dick Olson, and Dole Wilson. Page 1 10 In closing, I should like to soy a few words in order to thank all those who deserve a gold medal for their efforts. First, I would like to express my appreciation to the Indianapolis Engraving Com- pany and the Nicholson Printing Company, for the work they have done with both patience and effi- ciency, and without whose help, this book could not have been made. To Mr. Hall, our photographer, I also give my thanks both for his pictures, and also for his forgiveness each time I called him up in the middle of the night about tomorrow ' s jobs. Also, to Mr. Hirshburg for Prom pictures, Mr. Porter for Queen of Hearts photos, and Jim Wuertenberger for shots of spring sports, we are deeply grateful . . . And last of all, to Mr. Peacock and the staff, I am extremely indebted, for their tireless striving towards this book ' s completion was incomparable . . . Also, I wish to express my regrets for the omission of pictures and names of people, who rightfully should have been in here, but, somehow or other, there just wasn ' t space . . . As we leave for this year, we hope this book meets with your wholehearted approval, and if it has given you somewhat of an idea of the way we live at R.H.S., then its purpose has been achieved, and my task is finished ...
