WW r 4 The etticient planning and management ot any business depends upon a satistactory bookkeeping system. Not only business but also social and per' sonal bookkeeping is valuable to every individual. Many individuals operate their tinancial attairs in a business-like manner: theretore, personal bookkeeping and typing are ot great value. In serving as a treasurer ot any organization bookkeeping and typing are also imperative. in bookkeeping and typing classes an understanding ot bookkeeping records, stencil typing, and business reports, and their interpretation tor suce cesstul business management are developed and stressed to the fullest extent. Should a student discover that he has aptitudes tor accounting, book' keeping, and typing, he will tind that the background acquired in these come mercial classes has been developed through the actual handling ot business papers and will provide a sound toundation tor turther study. 15 N xx 1 ' 5 Lili. fx lil l ls-l G ff-fE l'l?.,i'f-X Cl CL f lil S 'XS-it Mechanical drawing is a very popular subject with boys and girls at Ashland High School. Besides being a very interesting course, it teaches one to be neat and accurate, Each student is required to draw a certain number ot plates and must spend tour hours on each one. About a year ago it seemed that only boys were interested in taking mechanical drawing but now the girls are becoming aware ot its possibilities as a stepping stone to tuture careers. Mechanical drawing is a very good tield to study not only tor the present but also tor the postfwar era. lb ,4- +1 O - uf J! 4 Urr.v,r5rty :rl K--ntuflry, B.S. MS. P-'abody Collug-3, 5.5.

UNIT This year, more than ever betore, the R.O.T.C. prepared the young men ot this school to be better able to serve their country as leaders in the armed torces. Major Chester A. Pruett, serving as P.M.S. 3: T. ot the R.O.T.C, unit, has improved the scope ot training and put many new changes into ettect. Foremost among these is the use ot cadet otticers to instruct classes. Capably assisting Major Pruett in this work were Tech- nical Sergeant John White and Statt Sergeant Milton Hepler. The battalion was commanded very etticiently by Cadet Lieutenant-Colonel Lewis Lyle and Cadet Major Myer Tullcott, who ably assisted him. Under the leadership ot these two otticers the battalion has achieved a high standard ot excellence. Each cadet has been taught the tundamentals ot tirst aid, close and extended order drill, ritle marlcsmanship, military discipline and courtesy, and intantry organiza- tion. The advanced classes have talcen up more specialized subjects, such as map reading and military history and policy. These subjects were given in order to tamiliarize ft, ' S 0' .- 4. U 0 O D the cadets with new things they will encounter in army training. ln this way, the young men ot Ashland High School are learning to be ot service to their country.

SPH' 7 KITTENS WOBBLE IN: CATS STRUT OUT Three very long years ago. so we think. a batch of wobbl -legged kittens from Coles and Putnam Junior High Schoofs and any and all points east or west gathered together to form the sophomore class of A.H.S. We kittens who had thought we were lord and masters as freshman in junior high school found out that we hardly had our eyes open. How soon we learned. Feebly we roamed the halls calling helplessly upon the domineering juniors and seniors for information about room numbers. Some of those warmhearted juniors, re- membering that they had been in the same spot. fondly stroked their underclassmen's fluffy fur. flung the infor- mation over a shoulder, and dashed on down the hall. High and mighty seniors. finding a frightened newcomer huddled in a corner staring with wide eyes. only chided him more and more until he fled meowing piteously. Thankful that we had nine lives and feeling as if we had lost three of them already, this baby class finally elected its class officers. As president we chose Lewis Lyle. whose red hair. we felt confident, would serve as a guiding light for our tiny paws to patter after. Bucky Tanner was chosen vice president. Roy Nolte was elected to fill the secre- tary's position and Bob Wilcox to fill that of treasurer. Soon, however, we caught on to things and began to take part in school activities. We quickly assumed the inheritance the juniors had left to us-their assembly seats in the balcony and the places at the end of the lunch line. Many of us joined clubs and began to know people. Then it was that we thought high school might not be so terrible as we had anticipated. We looked forward to becoming Marshals and being allowed to sit downstairs in assembly when we got to be juniors. At the beginning of our junior year we tweaked our cats' whiskers and pranced down the halls on nimble, padded cushions. feeling as if we were ready for anything. We were conscious of the war that had been going on for almost three years, but now as our friends and classmates began to join the armed forces the conflict came closer to us. We dug down deeper in our pockets and bought more and more defense stamps and war bonds on Tuesdays from the Theta Club booth on the second floor. We rushed around as all important juniors electing for our class officers that year Leonard Manley, Libby Ann Callihan, Lila Lee Simpson, and Cyrus Reynolds. ln the spring of our junior year with Mrs. Clarence Sparks as our junior sponsor we undertook the gala affair of serving as traditional hosts to the seniors at the junior- senior prom. That year junior Tomcats-Emmor Evans. Willie Bar- ker, Leonard Manle , Bob Webb, Dick Falk, Johnny Bill McWhorter, Hugh Ciallihan. and Charlie Barber-stepped up to the limelight on the football team. Several basket- ball Tomcats pounced around too-Randall Stevens. Jerry Carroll, Tom Chappell, and Jimmy Anderson being the juniors among them. That ear as juniors we were proud of Jetta Mac- Donald, who was the first junior to be elected queen of Hi-Life at the Sweetheart Dance. We had Leonard Manley, who was to become captain of the I945 Tomcat football team, to help us swell with pride. ln the spring of our junior year when we had about lapped up all the knowledge we thought was possible. we sharpened our claws in order that we might be ready to pounce on any senior honors coming our way. Now we were ready to take over the position of ever mighty senior cats. During our senior year we have flashed out our bril- liance and rushed to our new 'obs as officers of clubs and to our positions on the Hi-Life Gazette and Hi-Life An- nual staffs. which we fought for as juniors. ln the way of entertainment we presented the senior minstrel: the senior play, The Home Fronters: and we rolled in the aisles when the annual staff gave Gabriel Blow Your Horn. All along we have worked hard, but along with the work we have had our fun. Many different clubs have given dances-the Girl Reserve dance. R.O.T.C. Military Ball, the Chevron Club formal. Service Club dance, the music class dance. College Relations Club formal, and to top it all our Prom. Oh! how wonderful! For many days the juniors planned, and the seniors snooped about trying to get just an inkling of what they were plannin : but the juniors would not give one tiny morsel. Finally tae big night arrived. How simply marvelous! This year for the first time the American Rolling Mill sponsored a radio program over WCMI on which different classes. clubs. and organizations presented a program each Tuesday. This program was sponsored in order to give citizens of Ashland a better understanding of the students of A.H.S. Eddie Carr. president of the Dramatics Club. has served as master of ceremonies on each of these programs. As we come to commencement we feel that the wobbly-legged kittens who entered as freshmen have grown to strutting. sturdy-legged cats, who will leave their mark on the world.

Second Row: Wagner, Wilcox, Lyle, Switt, McWhorter. Third Row: Welch, STUDENT CCUNCIL SENATGRS Student government at Ashland Senior High School is carried on in a very democratic manner. The governing body, the Student Council, is composed ot two houses, the Senate and the House ot Representatives. The senior, the junior, and the sophomore classes are represented by the members ot the Senate. The separate home rooms are represented by the members ot the House ot Repres sentatives. The members ot the Senate are elected by the individual classes and the members to the House who represent each room are chosen by the members ot their respective home rooms. The Senate must approve the elections to the House betore the tinal appointment ot the members. Leading this body tor the school year ot T944-45 were the president ot the student council, Lewis Lyle: the vice president, John Wagner: and the secretary- treasurer, Libby Ann Callihan. Students representing the ditterent classes were-senior A, Bob Welch and Bob Wilcox: senior B, Jetta MacDonald and John McWhorter: junior A, Joyce Litteral: junior B, Gee Gee Mathewson: sophomore B, June Webb: and sophomore A, Kenneth Switt. Mrs. Elizabeth Haller was the sponsor ot the Stus dent Council tor the year ot I945 and Mr. James A. Anderson, Jr., was the adviser tor the council. Following the custom established last year, short as- sembly programs were held each morning. These programs, presided over by the president ot the Student Council, were made up ot the devotional reading, the pledge to the tlag, announcements by the students and by Mr. Anderson, and group singing under the guidance ot the music director, Miss Alta May Lumbard. ln order to promote this group singing the Student Council proposed that the school book store order song books tor the students. The students cooperated very enthusiastically with the council in this project. lt is the duty ot the members ot the Student Council to bring betore the students ot senior high school high standards ot democracy, sportsmanship, and character both in the class room and on the athletic tield. MARSHALS The Marshals ot A.l-l.S. are the judicial body which applies administration ot justice to that unmistaken mi- nority who still believe rules are to be broken instead ot obeyed. The Marshals' dutics are watching to see that no one breaks lunch line, ushering at special school tunctions. closing the doors ot assembly when the tardy bell rings, taking tickets at school activities, calling classes to lunch, supervising tire drills, and guiding bewildered parents to their otFspring's class rooms on P.T.A. Fathers' Night. All these duties and any extra ones they may be called on to do are pertormed by the Marshals. They also try to set an example ot good behavior tor the greater portion ot the student body. At the beginning ot every semester each teacher ot a junior B, junior A, or senior B home room nominates trom her honie room a certain number ot students who are eligible to become members ot the organization. The entire list ot nominees is then voted on by the stu- dent body. The highest qualitications are maintained tor the Marshals constant membership ot torty and even to be nominated is considered a great honor. Marshals should be dependable, loyal, patient, but torcctul and tair. They must also have an average schol- astic standing ot lt has been a rule ot the Marshals that when a mem- ber becomes a senior A, he is automatically dropped trom the organization, and a younger member gets a chance to step up and take his place. This year, how- ever, senior A's have remained Marshals and taken over the more important duties. The Marshals did not elect otlicers this year. With so little time tor meetings and organization they have done a wondertul job, This year the Marshals were under the guidance ot the dean ot girls, Mrs. Barsha Davisson, who acted in the capacity ot taculty adviser.

V HOUSE ot REPRESENTATIVES S P A N I S H C L U B The House ot Representatives, the lower house in the Student Council, is composed ot one representative from each home room. lt votes on matters concerning school welfare and acts as a student governing body. Its original purpose was to enlarge the Student Council so that the students ot the school might have a greater voice in governing the school. This form of student government is very similar to our national government. The lower house is composed of many members selected from a district, or 'home room. The upper house consists of fewer members from a larger area. or a class. Through the presentation of Ferdinand's Fiesta each April, the Spanish Club gives the South American air to the high school. The Fiesta is one of the most colorful events of the school year. This year the club chose as its project the sponsor- ship ot a lost and tound department. The club also pree sented its annual radio program of Christmas carols over WCMI. In the tall they had a dinner and a theater party tor the club members and their guests. The club planned to have some social event tor its members in the spring. During the club period a study ot the Mexican and Span- ish dances was made.

N 'lx I rin, 'lm a tellin' you, it's the best yetf' This can well be said about the minstrel produced by the class ot '45. Yahesuh! You couldn't tind a better one even in Harlem. It was really 'lsolidu and 'ton the beam with music and jolces galore. Under the capable direction ot Mrs. Joseph P. Gute, Mrs. R. M. Justice, and Mrs. Clarence Sparlcs, who took over in the absence ot Mrs. Justice, this year's black-taced force really had the audience rolling in the aisles and holding onto their sides. i if wi tfcisrrz -il. 'aw' irr-cfilrrfimily lwsci .cd lrfvw Thr auf! C h lug with ttf t There were more serious moments, too, during the patriotic numbers which have become minstrel tradition since the war began. The patriotic moment at the be- ginning ot the show included the audience which joined the cast in singing The Star Spangled Bannerm and inthe salute to the tlag borne in by the color guard composed ot R.O.T.C. boys, Jerry Carroll, Bruce Cole, Richard Can- itt, and Bobby Gardner. As the tinale the chorus joined fXlyce Hall in singing Mfxmerica, l Love Youf' The curtain THAT OUT-HARLEMS HARLEM was brought down on the close ot the beautitul God Bless America. Between the opening and closing patriotic scenes the endmen and chorus really got ott some clever jokes and good music. Give Me Some Stout-Hearted Menqi' sang the girls in the chorus. All the boys swooned when Jetta Mac- Donald, the beautitul song bird, sang I Dream ot You. A sextet composed ot Dot Dickenson, Jewell Warren, Alyce Hall, Lila Lee Simpson, Jetta MacDonald, and Pat Watson, those lovable little cuties, sang Swinging Cn A Star. They had everybody swinging, too. The tootball player, Johnny Bill McWhorter, had 'em rollin' in the aisles with his melodramatic monologue en- titled Little Nell. Dese Bones was sung by those hilarious endmen, in addition to their jokes and stories, and then attention was turned to Brownell Wheeler's singing of Without a Song. Libby Ann Callihan, Ernie Schumann, and Dot Dickenson made up a pickaninny trio which sang Ken- tucky and danced, accompanied by Charles Rayburn with his accordion. Bob Welch, Bob Dugan, Jim Mokas. and Bill Kep- hart, members ot the renowned Mud Flat Quartette. ad- ded their talent by singing Ain't Gonna Study War No More and Dinah, ls You ls Or ls You Ain't My Baby? , sang Walter Browning to his one and only. Following this was a cute little ditty put over by Jim Turpin, Wilma Shepherd, and Peggy Hewlette. Their song was The Trolley Song, into which they really put their teelings. Seniors from the popular boys' chorus gave their rendition ot Kentucky Babe and Climb Up, Chillumf' Virginia Williams served as accompanist, assisted by Marie Leonard, Bob Taylor, Teddy Gesling, and Charles Rayburn. Those black-taced darkies from the deep South were Walter Browning, Jimmy Anderson. Charles Mahan, Eddie Carr, Leonard Manley, Jim Leggett, Paul Sinette, and Jim Lewis. Jim Turpin, with his good looks and pleasant voice, was interlocutor ot this year's gala version ot the minstrel. Ladies and gentlemen ot the chorus were as follows: Mary Abbott, Libby Callihan, Carol Clendenin, Betty Copley, Dot Dickenson, Elizabeth Espey, Betty Greene, Alyce Hall, Eleanor Hampton, Norma Harris, Peggy Hew- lette, Helen Horne, Judy Horne, Gwen Hunter, Alice Johnson.

Q Q:- .: 4 . fr- For the second consecutive year, the Hi-Lite annual was awarded the All-American rating that is granted by the National Scholastic Press Association, ot which the annual is a member. Only sixteen ot the eighty-one an- nuals entered in the same classitication as that ot the '44 Hi-Lite won All-American honors. The group ot schools in which Ashland is classed has enrollments ranging from 900 to I,599. These schools are scattered over the entire United States. ln order to start the circulation drive at the begin- ning ot the school year, the members presented a plug tor the annual. Funny paper characters, such as Gravel Gertie, Dick Tracy, Blondie and Dagwood, Maggie and Jiggs, were imitated in assembly. At the conclusion ot each scene the students were urged to subscribe tor a Hi-Lite annual. At the end ot the semester last year, Mrs. Rutus Phillips, taculty adviser, chose the statt trom among many applicants on the basis ot qualitications and experience. Jim Lewis was appointed editor ot the '45 yearbook with Virginia Williams as associate editor. The statt de- cided that they would do all they could to make this year's annual the best yet. They are indeed proud to present the I945 Hi-Lite. Serving as business manager was Lewis Lyle, with the help ot Cyrus Reynolds, assistant business manager in charge ot photography, and Elizabeth Espey, in charge HI-LIFE ANNUAL Nelson Leach, scnior photo- grapher tor Hi-Litc annual, dis- cusses tilrn, cameras, and lighting with Dick Rhodemyrc, a junior photographer. ot collections. Edna Salyer and Leda Jo Litteral did their part as circulating managers by handling all the sub- scriptions. On the literary statt were Peggy Peery, Betty Lou Price, Wilma Litteral, and Brownell Wheeler, who all struggled to get the right number ot words in their articles and to get their articles in at the date set. Paithtully re- porting on thhe sports events were Leonard Manley, captain ot the tootball team, Jim Turpin, and Mac Vestal. Betty Jo Kerkeek, Emily Tompert, and Jetta Mac- Donald worked to the deadline typing the articles. The annual certainly couldn't have been done without them. A tlash here and a tlash there would signify one ot the photographers who were always around to record with their camera any ot the student activities. Those photo- graphers were seniors Mel Paisley, Nelson Leach: juniors Carolyn Callihan, Dick Rhodemyre, and Howard Moore. Credit should be given to the advertising statt who really went over the top in getting ads tor the annual. With Joanne Meredith as a good advertising manager, Dick Falk, Lila Lee Simpson, Wilma Shepherd, Judy Horne, Peggy Watson, Willis Munro, Helen Jo Horne, Patsy Richardson, Johnny Bill McWhorter, Gwen Hunter, Bill Kephart, and Betty Ruth Greene were responsible tor the securing ot the ads. Gabriel, Blow Your Horn, a three-act comedy, was the outstanding event on the calendar ot the annual. The plot centered around a love attair between Janet Smith, played by Wilma Shepherd, and Herb Brown, Jr., by Leonard Manley, Miss Thelma, Janet's aunt, portrayed by Virginia Williams, objected to this love attair because ot some mysterious disappointment early in lite which caused her to dislike Herb Brown, Jr. To break up the attair, she took Janet and some triends to the Ozarks tor a house-party. There Miss Thelma endeavored to bring together Janet and Harold, Jim Turpin, a good-looking but conceited person in love with Janet. Herb, determin- ed to win Janet, disguised himselt as a halt-witted moune tain boy to be near Janet. Zerusia, alias Lita Lee Simpson, and her lazy husband Gabriel, played by John McXY!horter, were the typical mountain couple who looked atter the cabin in which Miss Thelma and her party stayed. Zerusia and her daughter, Daisy Mae, alias Carolyn Callihan, did all the work. Finally Janet discovered Herb's disguise: but Herbs tather, portrayed by Brownell Wheeeler, disliked Janet and Miss Thelma as much as Miss Thelma disliked Herb and his tather. The climax ot the play was brought about by Herb's tather who tell ott a clitt near the cabin. Miss Thelma tound that her old love had never died, thus Janet and Herb got together, Janetis triends were played by Lewis Lyle, Dick Rhodemyre, Patsy Richardson, and Leda Jo Litteral. Mrs. Clarence Sparks and Mac Vestal directed the play. Crowning ot the king and queen ot Hi-Lite was the highlight ot the Sweetheart Dance, which took place on February 24. Choosing the Hi-Lite royalty is a custom established in I942 by the high school yearbook. This yearts king and queen were Jetta MacDonald and Lewis Lyle. The statts tirst dance was a pep dance, which tol- lowed the pep rally tor the tootball game between Huntington Central and the Tomcats.

There we find the sports. gossip, club activities, and lots of super editorials and features. When the Gazette staff gets the paper ready for press they really do a hard day's work. The staff that has charge of editing the paper for the week stays for printing press on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. Printing press is the time when the articles which have been handed in by the reporters must be checked, count- ed. headlined, typed, and re-checked. The dummy is then drawn up by the editor and on Tuesday morning it is sent, along with the typed articles, to the publisher, the Dickenson Publishing Company. Printing press is lots of fun for the members of the staff, and it is very good journalistic experience. Every year the Hi-Life Gazette sponsors the lntra- mural Basketball Tournament in which the different boys' clubs participate. The Ro Club, Key Club, Hi-Y Club, Service Club, Jr. Red Cross, Boys' Smokeless Club, Joy Club, and Chevron Club took part in the tournament this year. The Chevron and Ro Clubs played the finals on Friday. March 23. The Chevron Club won by a score of 9 to 7. HI-LIFE GAZETTE George Mills returns from Vandy's loaded down with cokes and Hnabs for members of the Hi-Life Gazette working on printing press in Mrs. Phillips' room. The Hi-Life Gazette's greatest social event of the year was the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Everybody came dressed as characters from Dog Patch and prizes were given to the boy and girl who looked the most like Daisy Mae and Li'l Abner. Bob Welch and Jackie Hansen were the winners and walked off with the prizes-two jugs of cider. For the second year the Hi-Life Gazette has spon- sored a campaign to place the Gazette in the hands of Ashland High School boys who are now in the armed forces. At a booth in the hall on the first floor a member of the Gazette staff keeps a list of the names and ad- dresses of our boys in the armed forces. A student who wishes to send a Gazette to a boy in the services might do so by buying a Gazette and paying the postage. The total cost is eight cents. A student might also pass on his copy of the paper after he has finished reading it. In that way the cost was only three cents postage and it also aided in combating the paper shortage. Boys in the armed forces who have received copies of the Gazette write many letters of appreciation to members of the staff. The staff has even received letters from boys who were not from Ashland but who had really enjoyed reading their friend's copies of the Gazette. For the tirst time in six years the l-lifLite Gazette did not win the All-American t-lonor Rating trom the National Scholastic Press Association, but they were given First Class t-lonor Rating, which signities excellent. Members ot the statt thought that perhaps the tact that the I944 Gazette only won second honor was because ot the change trom the publication in the Ashland Daily Independent to the individual paper which is sold at school by members ot the Gazette statts on Friday at lunch period. Many problems, such as a new torm ot layout, change ot type and headlines, and more copy had to be met by a new and inexperienced statt. The I945 Hi-Lite Gazette has not yet been judged, but the statt feels that the Gazette this year is a great improve- ment over last yearis paper and that the l945 paper will occupy top place. The Gazette statt is divided into two separate groups, Statt l and Statt ll. The two statts alternate in putting out the Gazette.

GJRL RE The Girl Reserve movement is a junior branch ot the tar-reaching program ot the Y.W.C.A. A Girl Reserve strives to develop wholesome ideas and attitudes, to tind an opportunity tor selt-expression and inspiration, and to grow more lovely in body, mind, and spirit. So highly does the Y.W.C.A. value this program tor developing young womanhood that each member ot the Girl Re- serves is automatically a junior member ot the Y.W.C.A. This program, which was organized in the hope that through group participation young girls might be helped in the process ot growing up, has grown steadily through the years until now it is by tar the largest and most ins tluential girls' club in high school. The programs were varied from time to time but all dealt with some subject that would both interest and benetit the girls. Numerous skits and short plays were given, timely talks were made by well-informed speakers, SE RVES and everything possible was done to provide a helpful program. One ot the most interesting and beneticial meetings was the annual joint meeting ot the Girl Reserves and the l-li-Y Club. At this meeting the two organizations ex- changed questions, and lively discussions about the problems facing boys and girls today were held. Another outstanding meeting was the annual candlelight recogni- tion service. This service, held in recognition ot the new members, symbolized the ideals and goals ot the Girl Reserves. ln order to help detray the cost ot a new building tor the Y.W.C.A., the Girl Reserves held a bake sale at which cakes, pies, and baked beans were sold. To the Girl Reserves the big social event ot the year was the annual spring tormal held at Hillendale Country Club. GIRLS'RIFLE TEAN4 Atter a two year suspension because ot a shortage ot ammunition, the Girls' Ritle Team was reorganized in October I944. The team was opened at the request ot girls who wished to learn the secret of tiring. Sergeant Milton l-lepler, who was chosen sponsor, was a very cap- able and patient leader. Ellen Browning, president ot the team, shot course F as tired by the boys and is qualitied as an expert ritleman. Several girls have become very good shots in the tour positions: prone, kneeling, sitting, and standing. The girls met every Thursday atternoon and tired ap- proximately twenty rounds. JOY CLUB Winning Americas Youth Baclc to Godl' is the lotty goal ot the Joy Club, an interdenominational religious organization. The club, which was tormed two years ago by Rev. L. D, Smith, is now under the sponsorship ot Rev. Russell A. Lenox ot the Second Methodist Church. lts motto is Abstain ye trom all appearance ot evil. The club presented an interesting radio program which was highlighted by a talk by the sponsor, Rev. Lenox, and several musical numbers. The Joy Club also produced a basketball team headed by Phil Pontius, a small but tast guard. This team entered the Cuazette Intramural Tournament but was deteated in the tirst game.

Membership is based on the cardinal principles ot leadership, scholarship, char- acter, and service and is limited to the upper ten per cent ot the senior class. Preliminary to permanent membership in the l-lonor Society is a lltappingu ceremony in which new members receive their Mbidsf' This ceremony admitted thirty new members this year and took place on November 9. Formal induction ceremonies tor the new members is always one ot the most impressive events on the school calendar. The candidates tor membership, dressed in white caps and gowns, tiled down the aisles and took their places on the stage. Roger Noonan, the newly elected president, gave the opening address. Talks on leadership, scholarship, character, and service were given by Lewis Lyle. Peggy McGuire, Betty Jo Kerkeek, and Ed Carr respectively. Musical numbers by Jetta MacDonald and Virginia Williams added to the beauty ot the occasion. At the tirst meeting, held on December 5, the tol- lowing otticers were elected: Roger Noonan, president: Bob Wilcox, vice president: Peggy Peery, secretary: Bob Webb, treasurer. Otticers ot the second semester were Ed Carr, pres- identq Peggy McGuire, vice president: Leda Jo Litteral, secretary: Lewis Lyle, treasurer. Among the activities that took place during the tirst semester was a March ot Dimes Drive tor the intantile paralysis tund. A check tor i'p9l.26, the total collected. was mailed with a letter to the President ot the United States. An exciting basketball game was held between the boys ot the Honor Society and home economics boys with a victory tor the home economics boys.

Talks and musical numbers were also given. To replace those seniors who were graduated in mid, year, a second semester tapping was held. JUNIOR RED CROSS This year the Junior Red Cross had as its membership 882 paid members. These members, together with their sponsor, Mr. R. T. Barrett, worked on projects to aid the needy and to help in the war ettort. Betty Jo Kerkeek was appointed chairman by the old representatives in May, I944, together with the following otticers: Lewis Lyle, tirst vice-chairman: Brownell Wheeler, second vice-chairman: Amy Belle Jenney, third vice-chair- man: Julia Lee Horne, recording secretary: Peggy Peery, corresponding secretary: Edna Salyer, treasurer: Betty Lou Price, program chairman. A new representative was chosen from each home room, making a total cabinet ot thirty. These represen- tatives met and discussed plans tor the meetings which were set tor the second Tuesday ot each month. Usu- ally, at each meeting, the Junior Red Cross had a guest speaker who explained how some part ot the Red Cross work was carried on and how members ot the club could assist the larger world-wide organization. Most of the speakers pointed out that the Junior Red Cross relates closely to the community and meets the conditions of life surrounding the student, while it makes available the vast resources ot the Red Cross around the world. Clubs from the entire school made up Christmas baskets to give to unfortunate tamilies. Also, as a project during Christmas, the student members made it possible tor the Junior Red Cross to prepare boxes to send the liberated children of Europe. - Games, as well as books and other reading material, were collected tor the soldiers. A donation was made to buy yarn tor the Knit-Wit Club, under the direction ot Miss Jesse Schaetter, tor the purpose ot knitting at- ghans to send to the Red Cross hospitals. Mrs. J. J. Ogle, Ashland Red Cross worker, who was formerly a Grey Lady at a Red Cross hospital in Nevada, spoke to this club about the importance ot little things in helping wounded service men.

To all the students of Ashland High School this has been a year packed with all sorts of social events. A pep dance, given by the Hi-Life annual staff, be- gan the social season. This hop was given the night before the Huntington Central-Tomcat game and was held in the cafeteria of ole Ashland High School. The place was so packed that one didn't have to worry about being a wallflower. Another dance to the credit of the Hi-Life annual staff was the yearly Sweetheart Ball. The crowning of the King Lewis and Queen Jetta was the highlight of the evening. The floor show, which is always an outstanding feature of the dance, presented a repeat performance of Little Nell by Johnny Bill McWhorter. Lewis Lyle sang l'm Confessin', which had all the gals swoonin'. Lila Lee Simpson, in her own inimitable way, sang Ac- centuate the Positive. Virginia Williams added to the talent of the program by playing her own arrangement of Begin the Beguinef' The floor show ended with the presentation of the royal king and queen, who led the grand march. FEATURES, PLAYS, DANCES Next on the list of the Hi-Life annual's social events was that hilarious play Gabriel Blow Your Horn. Johnny Bill McWhorter as Gabe and Lila Lee Simpson as Zerusia had the audience literally rolling in the aisles. Brownell Wheeler and Virginia Williams portrayed a per- fect quarreling couple while Leonard Manley and Wilma Shepherd nearly put one out with all their choppin. Other members of the cast were Jimmy Turpin, Leda Jo Litteral. Dick Rhodemyre, Carolyn Callihan, Lewis Lyle, and Pat Richardson. Sadie Hawkins' Day came on the twentysseventh of October frightening many boys to the hills for fear a girl would drag him to the dance. Hain't thet jest like a man? Jackie Hansen and Bob Welch were selected as the typical Daisy Mae and LiI' Abner and were given jugs of cider as a prize. This gala affair was presented by the Hi-Life Gazette staff as their dance of the year. A magnificent formal was given by the Ro Club on the twenty-first of December as their annual Christmas Formal. The gals all dragged out their long dresses and primped up a bit. lt was all too, too tickey boo! The dance was a whirl throughout the evening to the music of Howard Jenning's orchestra. Lila Lee Simpson, president of the Theta Club. presents defense stamps to Pat Watson and Jim Mokas at Theta Club Swing Shift Dance for being the most typical Rosie the Riveter and Willie the Welder. ENLIVEN SCHOOL LIFE Each year it has been customary to elect a King and Queen ot l-li-Lite. The Stu' dent Council nominates an equal number ot boys and girls and the student body votes on them. This year Jetta MacDonald and Lewis Lyle were the students choice. Jetta, who is not only pretty but also very talented, has held this honor tor two years. Lewis is very popular and holds most ot the top honors in the graduating class. Lewis and letta were presented in an appropriate ceremony at the Sweethearts Ball tollowing a tloor show. Atter this they led the grand march. This was one ot the largest dances ot the year and it was one ot the most outstanding. It gave the seniors another pleas' ant mernory to carry away with them. 7 Wellman McWhorter Wilcox Lyle THEY REPRESENT THE BEST BEST LOOKING BOY Tall, dark, and handsome-the traditional standard tor male beau- ty-certainly describes Claude Wellman.

MOST LEARNED GIRL Probably Peggy doen't know whether zebras are white with black stripes or black with white stripes, but she can answer almost any ques- tion about school work. Not only this, but she even helps some ot us who don't catch on so easily. She is an active member ot the Honor So- ciety and the College Relations Club. BEST ALL-AROUND GIRL To be rated best all-round, a girl has to have a pleasing personality, good looks, and leadership plus a little something extra. Lila Lee Simp- son tits this description perfectly. Active in almost all student activities, Lila Lee served the Theta Club as president tor two semesters and was a member of the I'Ii-Lite annual statt. Each year the taculty and student body select an outstanding senior girl who possesses the qualities ot dependability, leadership, service, and patriotism to represent the local chapter ot the Daughters ot the American Revolution at its state convention as its Good Citizen Pilgrim. As one can easily see, this is one ot the most prominent honors a senior girl can attain. This year Patty Sowards, an outstanding mid-year student, won the coveted title ot D.A.R. Good Citizen Pilgrim. To win this high honor, a girl must tirst be elected one ot the three outstanding senior girls by a popular vote ot the student body, and then from these three she is selected by the faculty as the Good Citizen Pilgrim. ln addition to the characteristics required tor this title, Patty is admired because ot her high scholastic standing and her pleasing per- sonality. Patty has outstanding scholastic ability, as evidenced by the tact that she was valedictorian ot the mid-year graduating class and winner ot the tirst annual Ro Club scholarship to Ashland Junior College. She has been a very active member ot the Theta Club and ot the Junior Red Cross. In addition she was elected to the local Putnam Chapter ot the National I-Ionor Society. In peacetime the Good Citizen Pilgrim went to Frankfort to the state D.A.R. convention and served as a page there. Then from among several such pages, one was selected to go to the National D.A.R. Con- vention. I'Iarriet Eaton, Good Citizen Pilgrim ot the graduating class ot I939, is the only representative from Ashland ever to attend the na- tional convention. Since the war, the Daughters ot the American Revo- lution have decided to discontinue these trips because ot the over- crowded transportation tacilities: and instead lots are drawn and the winner is presented with a one hundred dollar war bond. It is assumed that this same policy will be tollowed this year. Last year, I-Ielen Greer, a very talented soprano who won a tour- year scholarship to the University of Louisville because ot her marvelous voice, received this honor. Two years ago it was awarded to .lean Lewis, who was editor ot the l'Ii-Lite annual, and who, like Patty, was a very high honor student in the mid-year class. 75 Richardson Callihan McGuire Simpson Sowards wwf? 2233 ,, ,i Ttr tain- irfi Tum. iiii., hmci I ' L i El' P L: ii iii: wr L-iw' stu..

The Ro Club and College Relations Club joined to sponsor the annual Irish Fair. There were various booths to attend and everyone had a good time. Two visitors pres- ent were Bob Kash and Lloyd Webb, tormerly ot Ashland l-ligh School. The seventh ot December tound the students ot Ashland High School grabbing their dungarees and snooty lunch pails to get to worlc betore the tive olclock whistle blew. The Swing Shift Dance was the brilliant idea ot the Theta Club. All the proceeds were in detense stamps. That famous twosome, Rosie the Riveter, Pat Watson, and Willie the Welder, Jim Molcas, was there. A most unusual dance, given by the Theta Club, was the barn dance. Everyone came dressed as 'lcountry tollcll and a grand evening was enjoyed by all. The gym was decorated lilre a barn. Stalls, hay, a dairy bar, and many other decorations seemed to malce Nye olde Ashland High School gym really loolc as it it were situated way up thar in the hills ot Kaintuclcf' Proceeds tor this dance went to give a brealctast tor the sponsors ot the girls in the Theta Club. Bond drives, bond drives, and more bond drives has been the motto ot the Theta Club tor the past year. They rang up a total ot twenty thousand dollars worth ot bonds and stamps. . sw ff-in .tu s A ,mr The Service Club has added two dances to the l945 social calendar. The tirst one, given in the Ashland High School, was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who attended. The thoughts ot it being on Wednesday with no school Thursday or Friday helped out a bit. There was a Hjitterbug contest and Bill Moore and Pat Richardson were the winning team. They received a box ot candy bars. In May the Service Club came out with a semi-tormal. The girls dressed up in thetr spikes and Sunday-go-to-meetin' dresses, and the boys wore coats and ties lun- usual, isn't it7l A great tloor show was given featuring 'Betty Blythe and her twelve chorus girls. Service Club boys came out with their talent. The College Relations Club had their annual tormal dance at Hillendale atter graduation. Just the members ot the club and their dates were invited. The Presidents Ball, given annually tor the benetit ot intantile paralysis victims, was conducted in a new way in Ashland this year. There was a special ball tor the people ot high school age. This junior ball was given at the Henry Clay Hotel. A king and queen were voted upon at tive cents per vote. The results were King Leonard and Queen Pat. Jack Huttons orchestra furnished the music tor the occasion. Me and Shakespeare, a three-act comedy, was the tirst presentation ot the Dramatic Club this year. Mrs. John Gardner, the club sponsor, directed the play with Hope Jones and Mac Vestal acting as student directors. 77 V1 1 1 1 Mr, fxrl ri 'hrl ir,--'i .Vrlr l r i i ir 'rhriiri limi 1, 1 T fxiiri Hin- sl. fy '-r YJ il r .-r .ing iril WE TAKE OUR FUN SERIOUSLY Top Row, L H Qc Right' Jeff.-i and Ltonesrd give out with Hvfhixpcringil n th: flour xhov ni Ihr frwutlicnri Ball.

Mac Vestal, portraying the part ot Percy Beggs, kept the audience howling and holding their sides. Freda Fannin enacting Ruth, Percys daughter, seemed to keep very busy all through the play worrying about her tather. Freda and Eddie Carr, acting the role ot Steve MacNeil, played the romantic leads. Helen Jane l-lood, as Miss l-larvey who taught school, roomed at the Beggs home, lost her job, and had a bad time paying the rent. Other members ot the cast were Dickie Slone, Alan l-leck, Doug- las Lynch, Carroll l-lall, Jonquil Kirk, Peggy Barber, Rosemary Cantrell, Dotty Kahne, Phyllis Pennington, Raymond Brewer, Mary Anna Parker, l-lelen Cunningham, and Charles Mitchell. The Dramatic Club chose as their project this year the sponsoring ot the weekly radio program over WCMI. These thirty minute programs were presented by the mem- bers ot the student body with Eddie Carr as master ot ceremonies. They have done a grand job toward helping our school and introducing the students to our city. For all those who enjoy operas the t-l.M.S. Pinatorew was really tops. Miss Alta May Lumbard, music director was in charge ot the production, and the Dramatic Club, sponsored by Mrs. John Gardner, did the make-up. 'N is iapmf - i K Q sf. SS- The Hi-Y Club gave a dance in the gym after the senior play and every one en' joyed himself immensely. The music was furnished by Mr. Nick O'Lodion and the kids were really 'ihepi' to the music he put torth. The only formal program dance this year was the one given tor the Girl Reserves and their dates. This was held at l-lillendale Country Club in the merry month ot May. The Chevron Club sponsored one ot the 'lsnazziest' dances ot the year and everyf one had a good time. The proceeds of this dance went on their fund for building a memorial for the boys in World War ll. Last but not least came the prom given by the jaunty juniors for the dignified seniors. l-loward Jennings' orchestra furnished the music. The very spirit of the dance, the thought ot its being the last dance ot the year. and the mystery ot the queen and king made this the outstanding dance ot the year and added a pleasant memory tor the seniors to carry with them. 79 Top Row, Left to Right: What'x the matter, Elimbctlx Ann, isn't your coke goocl7 Prana Kcphart and Freddie Molsbzrgcr pay rr visit to the fish pond at the Irish Fall.

'W at is Q '39 THE HOME FRONTERS Robert St. Clair's three-act comedy The Home Fronters, enacted by this year's senior class, pictured the life of a typical American family that was completely sold on civilian defense. There was not a member of the family who was not enthusiastically engaged in or trying to get in at least one kind of work that had a bearing on the war effort. Even Grandma Potter worked in the swing shift. The play had a superb cast of outstanding seniors. The difficult role of Mrs. Potter, mother of three grown daughters and a most enthusiastic worker in several branches of civilian defense, was capably portrayed by Virginia Williams. Mrs. Potter, a volunteer first aid teach- er, a plane spotter, and a housewife, was inclined to be a trifle excitable. Her knowledge of first aid tailed her completely when she fainted at the sight of a wounded Nazi spy. Mrs. Potter's three daughters, Sissy, Diane, and Peg- gy, were enacted by Joanne Meredith, Amy Bell Jenney, and Peggy Hewlett. Joanne was a very convincing young- est daughter on whose shoulders fell the burden of keep- ing the house and preparing the irregular meals. She ranked high in the favor of young Andy Telfer, a boy scout who, much to the complete dismay of most of the characters, was studying commando tricks. Bill Doran as the youthful Andy turned in a good piece of playing. Lovely Diane, the oldest.daughter, was portrayed by Amy Bell Jenney. Diane as a. lieutenant in the WACs was home on leave and having her troubles. Because of her rank she could mot.go .out socially with her near-fiance, Private Earl Thomas. The problem was solved near the end of the play when recommendation for a commission was offered to Earl as a reward for his efforts in capturing a -clever Nazi spy. The part of Earl Thomas was carried by Eddie Carr who added to the character his own in- -imitable charm. Peggy, the second daughter, anxious to do her bit in the war effort attempted to join the Marines. She was so sure that she wouldibe' accepted that she auctioned her entire wordrobe to her moth'er's first aid class. Imagine her distress when she is rejected because she was fifteen pounds underweight! Peggy Hewlett, as daughter Peggy. did a good job of portraying the part. Betty Price carried off honors in her role of Grandma Potter whose day was reversed because she worked on the swing shift. Her whole outlook on life seemed to be re- versed too because she had also assumed the dress and mannerisms of the younger members of the family. She even practiced his own commando tricks on Andy Telfer. Grandma was some girl and one hundred per cent pa- triotic. Herbert Potter, the nervous, excitable head of the household, was played by James Wells. Mr. Potter held an important position in the tank factory at which Grand- ma worked. He also had perfected an invention which. when approved by the government, would be of great value to the armed forces. By her cleverness the beautiful Nazi spy Sandra Shaw, played by Jetta MacDonald, worked herself into the sympathies of Mrs. Potter. Mrs. Potter was taken in by Sandra's version of her strange entrance into the house and by her account of the way she had been trailed and wounded by a man whom she claimed was a Nazi agent. During her sojourn in the house she managed to steal the plans for Mr. Potter's invention. lt was only through the help of Private Earl Thomas, Diane's scorned suitor, that Sandra was captured. F.B.l. agent Joseph Crowder, enacted by Brownell Wheeler. certainly threw a bombshell into the Potter's midst when he accused them of wilfully harbouring a Nazi spy and of aiding her escape. Nothing seemed to convince him that they had all been duped by Sandra Shaw. The story became a town scandal and the family found themselves being cut by their friends. Mrs. Potter's first aid class visited the Potter resi- dence in a body to find out firsthand what defense Mrs. Potter had and to let her know exactly how they felt about the whole business. The ensuing scene was perfectly carried out by the girls who played the parts of the first aiders. They were Peggy McGuire, Georgia Fannin, Leda Jo Litteral, Helen Horne, and Sue Storm. The only other character who appeared in the play was Peter Evans, the husband of one of the members of the first aid class. As the victim of the class he was be- splintered and so swathed in bandages that he could nev- er be identified. The part was taken by Myer Tulkoff, who suffered beautifully. Credit for the directing of the play goes to Mrs. R. M. Justice and Mrs. Frank Davisson. Stage furnishings were handled by Miss Dorothy Davis. Tickets and publicity were in charge of Mrs. Ruth Osborn and Mrs. Hubert Brown. The Hi-Life Gazette staff planned and produced the programs which were in the form of miniature Ga- zettes. Mrs. Joseph Gute and Mrs. John Gardner handled the make-up. Lighting and sound effects, which added so very much to this play, were in the hands of Mac Vestal, who has proved himself to be very talented along those lines. He produced a wind and rain storm complete with thun- der and lightning and made it so convincing that the effect was felt on the audience. 'K+ its xg.

Ta Coach Floyd Rob 'i 'On ,ww Playing tor the tirst time under the lights ot Putnam Stadium the Ashland Tomcat tootball team, hindered somewhat by the manpower shortage, tinished the I944 season with tive wins, two ties, and two losses. With versatility as a strong point the Tomcats were tound to have a com' paratively heavy team but somewhat inexperienced and tew in numbers. The Tomcats were ranked high in the state having defeated mighty Louisville Manual, considered one of the best teams in Kentucky. Although not too impressive in some encounters the Tomcats came through with the same tight and courage displayed by Tomcat teams ot the past. Coaches Floyd Roberts and Robert Morris, serving their second year on the coaching statt, are to be commended tor the hard work they have put into the building ot the Tomcat team. A new member, D. L. Swim, was added to the coaching statt last summer. Swim comes trom Union College at Barbourvitle, Kentucky, where he participated in tootball, basketball, and baseball. Swim has been dise charged from the Marines where he served as second lieutenant. F t x LN? 'J Raqht cazrivni Mean Qichnason, Manlizgf, M. lson, I. D, lson N 1 Sfcaria flow: ,.-:fri LJ.

In the tourth quarter ot the tirst game ot the season with Vinson ot Huntington, the Ashland High School Tomcats scored more points than the entire game ot the previous year. ln the last play ot the game, Bob Webb, Tomcat haltbaclc, ran sixty-tive yards to score against Vinson. The game ended 80-6. The Huntington Highlanders were next to tace the still really untried might ot the fats. ln the tirst quarter ot play, Emmor Evans jolted titty-two yards tor the tirst tally. The next scoring came in the tinal period when Webb went over trom the Highlanders tour-yard line. Evans conversion was good and the game ended I3-O, temporarily giving the 'Cats the un- disputed tirst place in the Big Seven Conterence race. Highly regarded Stonewall Jackson ot Charleston was next on the list. Robinson ot Stonewall Jaclcson early in the tirst period ot play, inter- cepted a pass trom Evans and ran sixty-tive yards to score. The halt ended with Stonewall leading. But with a determination to hold on to the lead in the Big Seven contest, the 'Cats came back in the second halt with the will to win. Evans ran thirty-tive yards to score. Webb scored from the S, J. three, and. the tinal score was I2-6. x. iitf livrai- if 3' J ' ,. ' 'Nm . -, 5 .A swag? 'fwgefikf tl-ii-'1 1 , Mui .ii,'-.wh wm- YEA! TOMCATS. The Huntington Central Pony Express tought to a 6-6 deadlock, with the Tomcats. Central scored just atter they kicked to the 'Cats to open hos' tilities when Evans tumbled the kickott and Central covered. The Tom- cats only score came in the tourth period when Webb connected with a pass to Evans. The whistle blew and the score stood six all. To climax the tirst drive tor pay dirt, Captain Leonard Manley scored against the lronton Tigers trom the Tiger's twelve. Also in the tirst period, Daniels, ot lronton, scored trom the 'Cats eighteen. The defense ot both teams tightened throughout the remainder ot the game and neither team was able to score. A light rain tell unceasingly tor the entire length ot the game, making the ball very hard to handle. As the gun sounded the score- board read 7-7. Throughout the tirst halt the Tomcats were able to hold the Charleston Mountain Lions to small gains and threatened to score several times with the backs picking up substantial gains and the line playing a beautitul game, but in the second halt there seemed to be no one who could stop the slender, nimble-hipped Ray McNabb ot Charleston. McNabb ran, passed, and kicked his team to a decisive l3fO victory over the 'Cats.

Webb had tour touchdowns, Evans tour conversions, and Manley one tally. The Wildcats tought hard but were suppressed by a 42-O score. Traveling to Du Pont Stadium the Tomcats were brought tace to tace with the vaunted Crirnsons ot Louisville Manual. Not enough could be said ot the spirit, cooperation, and Tight that existed in the Tomcat squad that day. Three Tomcat stars that standout are Bob Curnutte, who ran torty-one yards to set up the tirst score, Evans, whose pass to Webb set up the second score, and T-lottman, who made both these dreams realities. It was a real upset, the game ending l3f6 in tavor ot Ashland. In the last game ot the I944 tootball season, the Portsmouth Tro- jans handed the Tomcats their worst deteat in tour years. The Trojans were a veteran, undefeated eleven. Jim Fout deserves the credit tor leading his team to victory which gave the Trojans the championship in the Big Seven Conference. A great deal ot credit goes to the Tomcat line who showed their de- termination to win, and who made possible the scores ot the baclcs, and a successful I944 tootball season! , ' ' sf Wir .

THINCLADS PROVIDE Another successful season was add' ed to the years gone by tor the boys who wore the maroon and white on the hardwood courts ot A.l-l.S, Score books show that the Tomcats challced up titteen wins to nine losses which is an excellent accounting. Coach Bob Morris, in his second year with the fats, took a relatively green group ot players and made out ot them a really tine ball club. Stevf ens and Wegener had had previous experience subbing tor the tirst tive last year: but Carroll, Prichard, Serey, and Robinson had had little experi ence with the fats. The Tomcats were piloted by Cap' tain Randall Stevens, who was placed on the All-Regional team at Win' chester, scene ot the Sixteenth Ref gional Tournament. Coach Dixie Lee Swim tools over the responsibilities ot coaching the B team. Through his work the 'Cats should have outstanding clubs in '46 and '47, THRILLS FOR FANS To open the I944-45 basketball season the Tomcat squad traveled to Winchester to trounce Winchester High 38 to I8. On the tollowing night, still in Winchester, the 'Cats taced Clark County High, Randall Stevens, captain ot the Tomcat tive, was high score man with ten tallies. The Cats held Clark County to eighteen tallies and managed to ring up twenty-tive tor themselves. Carr Creek, a little school that always produces a good ball club, came to Ashland tor what turned out to be one ot the tightest, most exciting games ot the season. lt was the Tomcatsi tirst home game and they were determined to win. As the clock closed, the regular period ot play everything was all tied up, but in the second over- time period Carr Creek managed to produce enough points to take all the honors ot 45 to 43. Tension was relieved atter the Carr Creek game when the Cats taced the Greenup County tive and really trimmed their sails 47 to 32. ln the tirst game with the Catlettsburg Wildcats, the Ashland quintet played the county seat boys on their own hardwood. The Wildcats showed unexpected power and it was only by a 26-22 margin that the 'Cats could claim victory. The lronton Tigers tell victim to points rung up by Stevens, with twelve, Robinson and Prichard, with nine apiece. lt was a very tast-moving game and ended with a 36 to 32 win tor the 'Cats. Down trom the Big Sandy came tive boys wearing the colors ot Pikeville High. The 'Cats took advantage ot their early advantages and the halt ended 26 to I3. Ste- vens led the scoring with seventeen tallies. Although the Pikeville boys started hitting the net in the last minute of play, the game ended 47-3I with the Cats leading all the way. It was the tirst basketball tilt recorded between the two schools when the 'Cats met the Stonewall Jackson Generals on the Charleston court. Stonewall kept her un- blemished record snow white by taking the 'Cats 52-32. The 'Cats experienced their third deteat ot the season by losing to the Huntington East Highlands in a hard tussle. Although the 'Cats lecl by a 23-21 count at the halt, the Highlanders ended the hostilities, leading with 45 tallies to the 'Cats 36. Front Row, L.zvt to Riu-ht: Evans Curtis Prichard Surry!

Charlestons Mountain Lions tell victim to some neat ball-managing by the 'Cats in one ot the closest games ot the season, 48-47. The much talked about Russell combination came to Ashland and came within a hairis length ot spoiling its clean slate. Carroll, with seventeen points was high point man tor the 'Cats. It was perhaps, the best game ot the year, with Russell edging out a 30-29 win. Traveling to engage their traditional rival, Hunting- ton Centrals Pony Express, the 'Cats played on the Hunt- ington court and lost by a slim margin ot 33-32. ln the second game ot the season with Stonewall Jaclcson, the 'Cats had them on the Ashland gym tloor and rather evened the score tor the tirst defeat by a good thrashing ot 52-32. Stevens and Carroll were high pointers with seventeen and twelve points respectively. The Tomcats overpowered the Vinson quintet by a 4l-22 score with Captain Randy Stevens again high point man with nine points to his credit. Perhaps having Stonewall Jackson on the 'Cats home court was the tact that deteated the Generals, but no matter what the reason, the 'Cats made up tor that tirst deteat 42-33.

This organization, coached by Dick Swim, is made up ot boys who will soon be the stars on the Tomcat squad. Running into many ditticulties and with many obstacles confronting them, these Junior Tomcats keep their spirits high. Practice sessions were contined to these times when the Tomcats weren't using the gym, and transportation to out-ot-town games caused considerable trouble: but coach Swim, the guiding light, kept the spirit moving. ln analyzing their record one can readily see that the B. Team had a successtul season-nine wins to three de- teats. Ot these three lost, two were by a margin ot three or tour points while the third, played against lronton, was a pretty sound thumping. Their victories can rightly im- press one too, because Swim's boys won over teams ot relative importance in the Tri-State sports world. High- lights ot the season were the victories over the Huntington Central B, Catlettsburg B, and the double victories over the Huntington East B team. Bruce Cole paces the B team as head point-getter with 53 points to his credit tollowed closely by Bill Gunter with 48 and Robert Ferguson with 47. Ashland basketball tans can look torward to seeing the names ot some ot these B Team boys heading the list ot A.H.S. Tomcats in the near future. Showing their talents in the various tields, such boys as Gunter, Cole, Ferguson, Rhodemyre, and oth- ers have good prospects in the tield ot sports at A.H.S. Credit is due Coach Dick Swim and his boys tor their splendid work. The B Team is serving well its purpose -that ot giving necessary game experience and practice to inexperienced players and ot serving as a testing ground tor boys interested in taking part in the athletic activities ot Ashland Senior High School.

BASEBALL The Ashland High School l944 baseball team com- pleted a rather successful season on the diamond under the able guidance of coach Floyd Roberts. Roberts played three years ot varsity baseball at Tulane University and participated in Oklahoma semi-pro leagues after his grad- uation from college in l934: making him well suited for the job df baseball coach. The Tomcats, participating in the newly organized Ohio Valley league, found some stiff competition in teams such as lronton, Huntington East, Huntington Central, Catlettsburg, and Huntington St. Joseph. Some ot the notables who returned for play were John Hunnicut, center tield and captain of this year's team, 'Nard Pergrem, shortstop, and pitchers Bob Webb and Fred Fitzer. Others who soon proved themselves able starters were Joe Southers, Hugh Callihan, Doug Robin- son, standout catcher, Emmor Evans, Gerald Jarvis, Jerry Carroll, J. D. lson, Sam Curry, and Bob Kash. The 'Cats were not in top form at the beginning of the year with rainy weather hindering the practice ses- sions, but as the tirst game rolled around the 'Cats proved themselves ready by downing Huntington St. Joseph Il to 4. The next game proved fatal for Ashland with lronton talcing the game 2 to I. Other notable wins were over Catlettsburg 6 to O, Huntington East 8 to 4, Central Huntington 8 to 4, St. Joe II to O, and lronton 3 to 2 with losses to Catlettsburg IO to 9 and Central 4 to 3. The Tomcats marched through the Kentucky District tournament by downing Catlettsburg but were lcept from entering the regional at Lexington because some of the players would fail to graduate if they missed school. The hard-hitting of Robinson, Callihan, Southers, Evans, and Speedy Hunnicut proved very valuable in the pinches and the hurling ot pitchers Fitzer. Webb, Evans, and lson was very noteworthy. The Tomcats of '45 began the season with standouts Robinson, Evans, Southers, Callihan, Bush, Anson, Webb, lson, and Carroll. 'fi GIRLS KEEP TRIM HFIGGERSH GW When it comes to basketball a good many girls are not exactly novices, at least not Mrs. t-lilda Evans' gym classes. These young ladies want to win the games tor their side even it it does include crossing the toul line. Basket- ball proves to be exciting and exhilarating to the mem- bers ot the large classes. Another game that turnishes plenty ot exercise is the relay races which are thoroughly enjoyed by the girls. Sottball became very popular year betore last when Mrs. Evans took charge ot the physical education program at Ashland Senior l-tigh School and introduced the game to her classes. They play it very well, too. Some ot the girls might even be able to outpitch Joe DeMaggio. Volleyball is another popular sport with the girls because it otters ample opportunity to get plenty ot exercise and a good time along with it. The game is played with a volleyball net and small, round rope rings. The class is divided into two teams. The object ot the game is to keep the rope rings constantly tlying across the net. This calls not only tor physical ability but also mental quick' ness. Mrs. Evans has tried to plan her classes so that the girls will get a well rounded physical education course. She has done an exceptionally tine job ot teaching and deserves a great deal ot merit in her attempt to promote high moral standards, physical titness, and keen mental abilities. For the more exuberant species ot Htemale pulchri- tude, Mrs. Evans has planned a course in tumbling, which consists ot pyramid building, back bends, and acrobatic dancing. On certain days ot the week, Miss Elizabeth Johnson, prominent music teacher in Ashland, came to the high school gym and played tor the girls while Mrs. Evans instructed them in various types ot tolk dancing. The purpose ot this type ot dancing is to make the girls more lithe and agile in their walking and in their posture. A physical education course wouldn't be complete without calisthenics and tigure marching. ltls through courses like this that we are expecting to build a healthier race tor the world ot tomorrow.

Three consecutive wins would have given the Ro permanent possession ot the tournament trophy. Just as the closing game was tast moving, the tirst game ot the tournament, between the Smokeless and Ro Clubs set the pace tor the tournament by exhibiting tine basketball between two tine ball clubs. The Ro tive won by a 22 to 20 count in the second overtime period. Another tavorite tive ot the tournament, the Key Club, had little trouble putting the Hi-Y aside by 2le9 and won the opportunity ot meeting the Ro tor the tirst bracket semi-tinals. ln the Chevron-Service tilt the Chevron quintet bare- Gazette Trophy ly escaped deteat when the Service Club with only sec- onds lett to play led by a score ot 2049. Chevron mem' ber Bruce Cole connected with a long tield goal and his club took the honors, 2l-20. The Joy Club quintet, losing to the Jr. Red Cross 69' IZ, suttered the worst deteat ot the tournament. This win tor the Jr. Red Cross scheduled them to meet the Chevron tive tor the second bracket semiftinals. Ro and Key provided the opposition tor the tirst bracket semi-tinals. Victory in this bracket meant a crack at the championship. It was Ro day and the Ro boys made the best ot it, taking the Key tor a 24-I3 thrashing. ln its semietinals contest ot the second bracket the Chevron had its hands tull in taking the surprisingly strong lr.
