FACULTY A l ' ADMINISTRATION Mr. Cline's main interest is in that group of students who are anxious to learn the art of juggling equations and raising quantities to the nth power. Mr. Hiatt, the traditional Annual sponsor, in some manner or other manages to keep those flubadub Chem. studes from blow- ing off their heads. Mr. Beerbower stalks through the alma-mater halls with ex- treme dignity fahemj, and bears precious seed in an abundant harvest of Bur- bankian and Darwinian-typed prodigies. Mr. Trabue has developed a fine social science curriculum, and Mr. Runyon has built up an Industrial Arts department of which any school might he proud. lPossibly one of his students can build that proverbially famous better mouse trap J. Miss Coble, whose precious mien en- dears her to all student hearts, persists in exalting the King's Knot Ed. VIIIJ English, and developing young dramatic talent for some of those six-month runs on Broadway. Miss Moore administers English to those underclassmen with the confidence of a surgeon administering an anaesthetic. Miss Hoffmann with her showers of is, ea, id and hic. haec, hoc leads her young Romans through Senatorial chambers and over long-con- tested battlefields. Mr. Oyler's farmers will soon be do- ing their part in filling the nation's bread-basket. Mrs. Jackson is training girls in Home Ec. class and then placing them on a waiting list. iCome on ye family-minded young menj. Miss Sowers and Mr. Planck handle the commercial department in a commendable manner. and, Mr. Planck, we appreciate that blastl ing brigade of yours. fWe mean the band.J Mr. Ward and Miss Trimble are great in those old P. T. Classes. We'11 not soon forget those warring Blue Devil teams. Miss Trimble's orators are bound to make good legislative material. Miss Addleman's glee clubs and or- chestra have helped a lot in making bet- ter programs in T. H. S. We're glad Miss Montgomery hasn't gone in for this modern abstract stuff in art. Those young artists will have plenty of time later to attain Cezanne fame. QWe feel we must mention Miss Slone and the pleasing operetta she prepared before her wedding bells rangg and Miss Blount to whom is due credit for work in the Home Ec. department the first semester.J SCHOOL BOARD Tipton High School has been highly favored in its leadership. The present School Board has been capable in every phase of its work, and we thank them for the highly efficient school system and the good corps of teachers that we have. Superintendent Leist is exerting a for- ward influence on the high school depart- ment. His appearance in our group is infrequent, but we know that he, like Santa, has to look after many other little boys and girls. Mr. Stemen, on the other hand, is ever present. His principalship is characterized by his interest in and understanding of youth and his problems. His smack of humor and those incor- rigible Physics exams will never be for- gotten.

SENIORS SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President .............................. Robert D. Cox Vice-President ....... ............ M ary West Secretary .......... ........ J o Ann Martin Treasurer ..... ......... K enneth Bozelle SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1933, the high school faculty, confronted with 49 shy, cm- barrassed girls and 46 awkward, fright- ened boys, realized with misgivings that this was to be the Senior class of 1937 and wondered secretly just where mate- rial for future commercial and oratorical contests, dramatics, and basketball was. Early in the year we organized with the following officers: Mr. Oyler, sponsor, Jo Ann Martin, presidentg Maurice Craw- ford, vice-presidentg and Ruth Preston, secretary-treasurer. Our only activity as freshmen was a picnic at the City Park in May. Feeling more confident because we knew that someone in high school was greener than we, our class entered in 1934 as Sophomores. Before the year was over, pupils from this class took part in oratorical and Latin contests and basket- ball. Still awkward and shy, but no longer frightened, the group selected the fol- lowing officers: president, Edwin Fer- guson, vice-president, Hal Bridge, sec- retary-treasurer, Mary West, and Mr. ' ' - va I.fV'1.1 V i 'lF l'MlFI-E 'lfmillr Q Beerbower, sponsor. A merry social gathering at Forest Park in Noblesville was held at the close of the year. With Junior standing in 1935, came added responsibilities. The boys, no long- er awkward and certainly not frightened, campaigned for the election and chose as leaders: John Miller, presidentg Rich- ard Stoner, vice-presidentg Robert H. Cox, secretary, and Maurice Crawford, treasurer. However, the girls were willing to work and under the efficient guidance of Mr. Cline, the class took charge of the concessions at the basketball games. As the result of this work, we enter- tained the seniors at a reception in May. During this year, too, pupils from the class represented the school in various contests. Perhaps not dignified but at least proud of their rank, 87 of the original 95 Freshmen became Seniors in 1936. At the same time there was born in the class the spirit of friendship and co- operation which has guided us through- out the year. The officers selected were: Robert D. Cox, presidentg Mary West, vice-president, Jo Ann Martin, secretary, and Kenneth Bozelle, treasurer. Mr. Hiatt agreed to guide the work of the annual, and Miss Moore was asked to sponsor all other activities. The class owes any success achieved to the splen- did leadership of these sponsors. l 'Y 14- 1'-ffqlguli 2 V ii A
