Miss Lois Bates, Senior, reigned as queen of the annual Hallcareen Carnival. The following girls surrounded her to add to this gala occa- sion. Miss Helen Urgent, Junior, Miss Worthy Hardin, freshmen and Miss Margie Reynolds fran Junior High. This was one of the best carnivals in many years. The ending of the war made this possible. A hot race was conducted a week before the Friday Night of the Carnival. Everyone entered into this race whole-heartedly but the ever victorous Seniors again came out on top. The money taken in by this race and also proceeds frc n the Carnival were turned over to the libraries for funds to buy new books. I r. r. r. i r. I t t r. r. r. I I r. r. r r r K r

COACH This year the Booneville High School was successful in its attempt to secure a full time Coach. The Bearcats were indeed fortunate to have J. P.(Perry) Mlkles, former Oklahoma Aggie player, as their coach. He was assisted by Rev. W. W. Grafton, who kept football alive at Booneville during the war. Under Perry's guidance the Bearcats had their most success- ful season since 1938. This is the 4th time in thirteen years that Booneville has won the championship. For a coach to do this in his first year is indeed a mark of excellent coaching The 1945 Bearcats are indeed grateful end shall never forget Perry and the'45 season.
