Rushville High School - Holcad Yearbook (Rushville, IN)

BEGINNERS Freshmen “Everybody off! Last stop for Freshmenville!” You will find these yearlings scattered all over the building, as they are so numerous they can be provided with no regular assembly. They are the brunt of many a joke and are sometimes said to be used as doormats. All these adversi- ties have not made them downhearted, for you will find them partici- pating in every activity open to the “lowly.” The girls take an active part in Girl Reserve and the boys live in fond expectations of some day belonging to the Hi-Y. If it were not for its freshman members, the band would not do nearly so good a job of “toot- ing.” The more athletically inclined girls have worked off their surplus energy in the Girls’ Athletic association, while the boys have been mem- bers of Coach Dick Miller’s “All Americans.” Cornelius Oster even went so far as to earn a nlace on the second team. The class as a whole is a musical one, with violinists, pianists and songsters galore — and they do not “hide their lights under bushels” as demonstrated by the number of times they have appeared before the school and various town organizations. Their talents are not altogether First row: Rehme, Weidner, Douglas, Second row: R. Miller, Beckner, Floyd, Young, Vansickle, Houchins, Adams.

Countrymen!” Allow us to present Miss Helen Matlock, champion of the dead language in the Rushville high school. Not only is she an adept at this, but she can “Parlez-vouz francais?” with the best of them. Watch your step and your English when you are in the presence of the Misses Margaret Ball, Mary Parrish, Janet Dean and Florence Madden, for they have pledged themselves to see that the Rushville high school students know how to speak grammatically, and woe be unto the fellow who doesn’t put a comma where it belongs. If you are in doubt that ‘a straight line is the shortest distance be- tween two points,” just call upon Mr. Arie M. “ Pop” Taylor, and he will tell you all about it, for geometry is his specialty. He also knows his algebra, as do Miss Madeline Gullion and Mr. Robert Griest, while Mrs. Margaret Morton of the “r afters” works diligently on good old fash- ioned arithmetic. Miss Gullion and Mr. Griest vary their mathematical programs with a little science, the former being an ardent admirer of “the flowers that bloom in the spring, tra-la”’ while Mr. Griest is a shark in physics. “ Geography, geography is such a pleasant study” sing the pupils of Miss Nelle Casady, who also finds time to instruct classes in history and civics. If people go out of the Rushville high school not knowing how the other half of the world lives, it is not the fault of Mr. Paul Carmack, who instructs in history, sociology, and economics and between breathing spells expounds on oratory. We have sized up these “ guiding hands” to the best of our ability and we will leave it to you if you think any school has a better faculty. aly)

We can expect a continuation of those ‘“abracadabra” stunts for several years. Nor does the class lack in artistry. If you want a good cartoon, call on Gladys Brown, for she is a master at that art. If you want to be envious, just visit the art room and take a look at the wall hanging made by Lowell Floyd. Now that we have told you all the extra-curricular things these folks can do, we must not forget to tell you that they are bright lights in their classes. The honor roll is not complete without a goodly sprinkling of freshman names. Not content to stay at home and show their brilliance to the townspeople, they sent Nancy Waggener to Straughn to represent them in the district Latin contest. Although Nancy did not get to the state meet, she showed folks that Rushville freshmen are up and doing, and when it comes time for them to shoulder responsibility, they will be able to Keen in step.
