Cwe read that article tooe-good, wasnlt it?J now that's over we'll start. after going down two or three stairs, we enter a dimly lighted, basement room. there are very small tables placed closely around a low platform in the center of the room. on this platform is seated a rather large group of musicians. they are attired in very informal clothes, each has his instrument near at hand. lucky for us, we have arrived just in time. had we been later we would not have been allowed to enter. suddenly with out any cue, one of the clarinets be- gins to play a popular melody. several others join in, following the clarinet. by now he is K1LK1I1g-Oullw. ne soars above the melody, tnen rides on down . we, the alligators,,, are impressed by the fact that he is a master oi nis instrument. later we Ilnd he is one of U16 outstanding orchestra leaders of the day. almost as suddenly as he began, he stops.one of the trumpets picks up the melody. we can no longer distinguish the melody from the rhythm. all this time we have seen no music, and what's more we won't see any. paper men arenlt allowed in these sessions. the Heats are really getting in the groove and we feel the presence of the melody even though we cannot hear it. in the middle of the song there is a break , which the drum- mer takes. the object seems to be to destroy the traps in the shortest possible time. how- evcr, the drums seem to be standing up o. k., so we won't kick. then the break is over and the others join in on the rhythm. they stop. my! hasn't the time gone quickly? it's late already. we do not clap, but simply leave by the door through which we came. we have atteded a typical jam session . that's swing new do you know what it is? we don't edi.tor's note: see glossary of swing terms on next page for words and terms which you do not understand.

'A If ' 27 szlas, the chore boy -by Upert ridleyu- high school hilarity hit historical high when the senior class play swung into action. the villian, gerald blake fplayed by eddye burlesonj, amid prolonged hisses' and boois, and of course the proverbial ttvillian mo- tive, snaked his way through many well played and conviiizing scenes, trying to out wit the bee-oo-ti-ful heroine, and gain pos- session of some valuable papers. margaret keller as cecil dare, the heroine who had loved not wisely, but too well, won the hearts of all who saw her as the poor unfortunate girl, being pursued so re- lentlessly by ttthat man. the hero, arthur ridley, tplayed by james wilderi was only a farmer's lad, but oh, such a handsome one. his lines were long and his part was hard, but hecarried them off in a way that would make true-blue harold hang his head in shame. walter Winchester, as silas stebbins, the chore boy, lived in a world all his own, filed with cowboys and indians. he could be found at any time of day reading the glor- ious adventures of scar-face mike, the ter- ror of the plains, which in the end proved to be o. k. since he used his wild west tac- tics to a good advantage in the capturing of poor cinch. the comedy element was supplied by burr randall, as cinch, the poor nigger who did all the dirty work for the villian, his weak- ness in life was a good pie or a good crap game hiram ridley, fplayed by eric pickerj, the father of the hero, and staunch believer of 4 the golden rule gave a very good perfor- mance. he lived up to the usual role of the father in a melodrama, by threatening to turn the poor heroine out of his house into the cold, cruel world. but the truth will out and being a man, all was forgiven in the end. betty clement as nancy ridley, hiram's old maid sister, gave a creditable performance. her part was very amusing, especially the way in whiih she would go about trying to gct jed perkins to propose to her. jed per- kins as the town constable, fthe part taken by john adamsj was also quite good. he and nancy furnished the secondary love inter- est in a very convincing fashion, by getting 'thitihedn after he had at last done some- thing heroic. pert ridley, tplayed by doris o'quinnb the hero's litlile pig-tailed sister, proved her worth by sticking by cecil through thizk and thin. orchids to our director, miss ila hopkins. despite her red hair, which is always a sure sign of temper, she was very patient with us. it is to her that we owe a great deal of the success of the play, most of us even sur- prised ourselves at the acting ability she brought out in us. this account would not be complete with- out giving a special vote of thanks to our Hprop-man , jack phillips. a gardenia to ro- zenia. it was under miss rozenia dunn's dir- ection that the flora-dora chorus swung out. to albert kilburn goes the credit for the eX- cellent advertising our show received.

are: president-burr randall secretary-jessie mae griffin adviser-mrs. edna knapp debating club the first and third period classes formed debating clubs this year with very excellent results. the first period class debated on should electric utilities be govermentally owned and operated? a murder trial was also held and conducted by the able help of a loc- al lawyer, mr. nichols. president of the first period class was eddye burleson. president of the third period class was jimmie wilder. burr randall wins balfour honor if you will look in the hall of the senior high school you will see above the trophy case a tablet. you will notice the first name on it is burr j. randall, jr. burr won this award for his scholarship, loyalty and a- chievement during his high school years. the teachers voted him this honor. he will also receive a pin to keep. the balfour co. has made possible this award and it is to be annually given. dramatic club a dramatic club was organized this spring by mrs. knapp and eric picker. two one act plays went into rehearsal immediately and were presented to the student body in a cha- pel program. the plays were light comedies and were received enthusiastically by the students. the members of the club can be c.ertain they have done something to be proud of. the director, eric picker, was proud too. f. l. s. club . the f. l. s. club of the y. w. c. a. was organ- ized for the purpose of creating a friendlier relationship among girls in the senior high school and to give them an opportunity for development and self-expression. the name designates the purpose of faith, loyal- ty, and service. the purpose is carried out at weekly monday night meetings in inter- esting and constructive programs. the group is led by a council of twelve girls, represen- tative of each high school grade, among whom are the officers. this year's executives are mary worts, president, virginia alley, vi3e-president, jeanne clarkson, secretary, ione donaldson, treasurer, and mary wilcox, program chairman. sports c club graduation stripped the ranks of the high school c club this year. the officers otis corbett, presidentg carey barry, vice-presi- dentg and dick hart, sedretary-treasurer all graduate. the new officers are cecil reed, presidentg and edwin blanton, secretary- treasurer. the c club gave a series of sucessful dan- ces this fall and continued them through the spring, concluding with an annual gradua- tion dance. the club gave a boat ride early in may. this boat ride was attended only by the members and their dates. in january the club took in thirteen new members. they will form our school letter club for the coming year. the golf club the SY edition of the c. h. s. golf club was organized early in january. robert thomp- son was chosen president, eddye burleson, vice president, and burr randall, secretary, treasurer. the annual club tournament was held the third Week in april. eddye burleson copped medal honors, but as usual, the medalist was jinxed-he lost to robert thompson in the final match. the athletic association of the high school this year donated two beautiful trophies one going to burleson, the medalist, and the other to thompson, the winner of the tournament. both thompson and burleson graduate this june, but their spiked golf shoes will be ably filled by several sophomores entering next fall. sport side slants clearwater high school's athletic teams have won nationwide recognition this year. their intersectional football games were of nat- ional repute. we are proud of our teams: football, basketball, baseball, and golf. while not representing the school as a team, we have some swell sailors in our midst. they also helped to put clearwater on the prover- bial Hsports map. as you all know teamwork makes a team. this is the one prime factor of our success. let me bring to yo.u a few of the personalities whose outstanding teamwork account for the enviable record established by our teams. cobb corbitt, the burly fullback of the highly successful football team, guard on basketball team, and a member of the base- ball team, is hanging up his spiked shoes for ole' c.h.s. -a great athlete and a swell fellow will leave a gap in the ranks - one which is hard to fill. -sidney benford, better known as snoop , who is also a three letter man will graduate with a successful high school athletic career behind him. we Wish you continued success in future athletic acomplishments, old topg c. h. s. will miss you.-to Wesley pearce we offer our congrat- ulations. though small in physique, he was a 'mighty mite' on the basketball court. it was here he obtained fame for himself and c. h. s. not content with this, he is also a. depend- able football player. keep up the good work, Wesley. john, iron man mc iver, a four let- ter football man. for four, long, hard yearsi the first man on the field was old iron man . the alma mater will lose a dependable player in john. -allan staples, a newcomer to c. h. s., has established himself in ath- letic circles. we know c. h. s. wishes that you had several more years-their hard luck. for bill holley, j. d. holladay, and lloyd phillips there will be much regret felt. ev- eryone has to go, however. baseball this year C371 marked the return of organ- ized baseball to clearwater high school. the season was a highly successful one, consid- ering the inexperienced material with which coach padgett had to work. clearwater was eliminated in the semi-finals of the s. f. c. tournament by the strong win- ter haven nine. among c1earwater's victims so far this spring, were hillsboro, palmetto, bradenton, and sarasota. both bradenton and hillsboro- also defeated clearwater. hillsboro was selected in lieu of clearwater to represent the seventh district in the state tournament at orlando. their selection was due to a more impressive record than clear- water's. we all looked to a renewed interest next year when baseball season rolls around. We are also happy to announce that baseball is here to stay once again. front row, left to right: allen stapes edwin blanton, gerald merritt, Wesley pour:-1-, otis Corbett, arclxio mr quagge, mgr. hack row: coach pad gett, joe mills. sidney benford, cecil reed and hendry hnrdin,fby ogg, bah' 1429 basketball at clearwater high enjoyed a successful season, the team was the sur- prise of the west coast. c. h. s. opened its season with an upset win over the powerful hillsboro terriers. after this upset, they gained confidence. from here, they defeat- ed hillsboro, st. pete, lakeland, miami edi- son, robert e. lee of jacksonville, and leon high of tallahassee. the s. f. c. teams, too numerous to mention, were all easily de- feated and clearwater won the conference for the fourth consecutive year. in the district tournament, clearwater fought its way to the finals by downing hills- boro, in the semi-finals. the over-time game, with plant high in the finals, was the most exciting game ever witnessed. clearwater was beaten by one point in the first over- time period. the tornadoes, as finalists, went to the state tournament, where they were eliminated by the strong eustis team. clearwater's record of 23 wins out of 27 starts, is good indeed. men such as benford, staples, pearce, and Corbett, practically the whole first team, will be hard to be replaced. around these men a smooth working team was organized.

This year the band won first place at the state music contest in tampa, and the orchestra won second place. this is a state wide event. clearwater was the only city entered having both band and or- chestra place in the festival. much credit is due to prof grella for his fine work in teaching and directing the band. it has taken part in several parades this year, and has always made a very comenda- ble showing. the band has also put on a drill between halves at all of clearwater's football games. it formed letters on some occasions and simply drilled on others. burr randall has been thc drum-major for the past year. however, a new one is being selected for next year as the present Q is a member of the class of '37. N Y' of. grella feels that if this spirit con- li cs that clearwater will have the outstan- ding band in the state of florida. he hopes to raise enough funds to carry the band to new york state next year, when the football team goes up for its games. the members are looking forward to this trip ever gone through. now, they graduate and go off to college or into the business world a smile of satisfaction comes across the face of the writer because he knows they will tackle their future problems with the same earnestness and sincerity that they tackled opposing runners. and that means they will be successful men. contributors We acknowledge the following contributions compliments of pierce's department store west coast hardware co. paint headquarters compliments of florida power corporation so compliments of c, star furniture company compliments of western auto associate store so compliments of H paxton-pavey lumber co. c compliments of cc crystal ice company compliments of compliments of h. g. smith hdw. co. table supply store -fishing tackle- compliments of compliments of west coast arm store clearwater book store y we acknowledge the following contributions whitesell-mc clung hclw. co. fine fishing tackle com liments of U wlsmergs incorporated radio headquartersv compliments of green brothers transfer compliments of clearwater baking co. compliments of c. m. nail, inc. building materials, johns mansville roofing compliments of firestone auto sup. 81 serv. stores compliments of 7 capitol theatre fred sEfg,!,sS5,??rtesy scranton arcade drug service shoe shop wood typewriter ex. the rexall drug store springtime spa we acknowledge the following contributions b. c.
