Note adhered to the video box is from MC President Parker Marden, 28 December 1998. Some parts of the note are hard to read. It goes something like this: Ferne: This videotape contains film clips from the Don Martin and Carl Holl family in the 1930's - (courtesy?) of Carl Holl, Jr., MD in Noblesville, Indiana. Please use it as you see to be best. You might want a few alumni from the 1930's to identfy folks and events while that is possible. Thanks, Parker For the Archives Don Martin was the Chemistry teacher on campus who had a video camera. Other families are included in the movie but have not yet been identified. Judging by the age of Louise (Holl) Weldy [who dates herself at around 12 years old], the first part of the film was made circa 1938. The Martin and Holl children get YOUNGER as the film progresses and so the YEAR(S) must change as well. 00:01 - The movie starts with a woman preparing chicken. The woman is Don Martin's mother. 00:08 - In the beginning of the movie children line up from tallest to smallest. The identities of these children follow from tallest to shortest: Louise Holl Weldy, Carolyn Holl Leffel, "Mick" Martin (his name was really Don Martin, Jr., but they called him "Mick"), Tom Martin, Rose (Martin) Speicher, Carl Holl, Jr. (the tiny one). 00:20 - Two Martin boys boxing. 00:34 - Two boys boxing. The bigger boy is a Martin, and the smaller boy is Carl Holl, Jr. 1:09 - Lucille (Banberry sp?) Martin, Don Martin's wife carry baby. 1:12 - President Otho Winger. 1:47 - Beulah Holl is the girl in the center in the lighter colored dress. 4:28 - Chemistry Building on viewer's left with gymnasium in background. 5:23 - Back Row from viewer's left to right - (Barbara Stauffer, the basketball coach's daughter) - (Mary Emma Miller, R.H.Miller's daughter) - (Louise (Holl) Weldy, Carl Holl's daughter).

The girl on the viewer's left is Mary Emma Miller (R. H. Miller's daughter) and the girl on the viewer's right is Louis (Holl) Weldy (Carl Holl's daughter). 5:48 - probably the Martin children, Mick (Don, Jr.), Tom, Rose. 6:17 - Probably Luckills (Banberry sp?)
