Reflections How ICU Builds Champs by Charles "Edwin" McCune ICU builds champs and peanut butter does it.-Ask anyone who ate in the dining room at Dailey Hall during those glorious 20's. We had no money, but we had desire. Sink or swim; man or mouse; honesty and hard work were roadways to success. We had a courageous persevering President. The faculty was cut of the same stuff; devoted, patient and pleased when we excelled. Salaries were low; quality high. Dr. Cummins, Rev. Dr. Samuel Long, Coach Johnny George, and "Madame" Dorsett were inspiring benedictions. Dr. Eaton, Professor Marshall, Drs. Weaver and Stonecipher were star players on the team. We had 375 students, five buildings-Old Main and three dormitories, plus a gym-a faculty of twenty-five, one Dean of Women, two custodians, a pet salamander and spotted dog. Textbooks were three dollars; a coke, five cents; a street car ride cost a dime; a quart of ice cream, fifteen cents at "Johnny's Place"; bread was eight cents a loaf. Many students worked in town on Saturdays-ten hours for three dollars. INDIANA CENTRAL HAD A FOOTBALL TEAM. It was a good team coached by Johnny George; he coached everything. The squad was a company of courageous men: Carl Mendenhall, Homer Roberts, Herman Speith, George Vance, Carroll Butler, Edward Pence, Paul Arbogast, "Doc" Emmert, Jim Deiwert, Everett Hoffman, Harry Good, Eddie Bright, Don Klinger, Ralph Light, Herb Montgomery, Lynn Turner, Cleon Turner, Boyd Todd, Dave Addams, Miles Leach, Othniel Catt, Leolin Long, and Freddie Armentrout. The team was wonderful. It was worth the price of admission to see Ott Albright race down the field, snag a long pass from the strong arm of Harry Good and qo streaking across the goal line for a score. Or watch halfback Eddie Bright swing around right end behind the powerhouse of Butler, Good and Settle. Another exciting player was "Han" Barnes under a full head of steam, make impossible catches of a football. In one game, the fall of 1926, Leolin Long nearly broke his leg. A play was called through right tackle. Long was playing center. Big "Doc" Emmert was at right guard. Something went awry; there was a terrible pile-up. Big Doc came crashing down on top. Long heard the ligaments in his leg snap, bones seemed to crack, and he nearly fainted. When the pile was untangled, there lay "Longie", groaning. Doc turned to help. "Did I kinda sting ya, Buddy?" Doc asked. "Sting me?" Long moaned, "You nearly broke my leg!" "Sorry, Buddy," Doc grinned. "Come on, let's play football." BASEBALL: We had a fine team. Big "Red" Fisher, Catt, and Herrin, pitchers, Bright at shortstop, and France holding down the hot corner; Pence at second; Good at first; Mendenhall, Karnes, and Greenwood in the field; Albright, catcher. Their record speaks for itself. TENNIS: Harry Good, Julio Saulo, Joe Cummins and Paul France played a fiery game. TRACK: A very successful year. When Coach George sent out the call, an army of good men reported; they won laurels in every main event. WOMEN'S AND MEN'S GLEE CLUBS: Indiana Central's Glee Clubs did the college a lot of good-did the members a lot of good. Lois Brown Dorsett was director. We referred to her proudly as "Madame" Dorsett. Members of the Womens' Glee Club were: Joe Albin, Vera Arbogast, Ruth Bran, Nesta Bonebrake, Mary Bushong, Marg. Berdel, Marcella Cornetet, Mary Dunham, Virginia Fout, Dick Gilliatt, Florence Hilligos, Vera Hoffman, Carol Cooper, Mildred Herzig, Mrs. Barker, Alta Jones, Irene Roberts, Edith Stahl, La Von Thompson, Esther Parsons, Clara Nelson, Lucille Peterson, Blanche Penrod, Thelma Petty, Thelma Woodburn, Adah Young, Aileen Case, Winifred Stahl, Gladys Michael, Lois Holimsn, Maude Wagner, Xena Martin, Effie Burkhart, Alletah Eash, Julia Good. Gertrude Hutton, Violette Miller, Bessie Osgood, Geneva Taylor, Myrtle Banks, Maxine Keller, Ruth McCoy, and Beulah Mae Shaw.
