In collecting the material for this edition of the year- book, we have selected items which in years to come should recall memories of happenings that otherwise might have been long forgotten. The stall appreciates the cooperation of the students and faculty. May this book be a worthy addition to the series which began in 19-10, and a not unworthy pattern for those ol' the future. NVe hope that you students of 1946-1947 will approve of it.

An accurate history of these years would be too harrowing if told in entirety. The seventh grade class. whiclt was enrolled in our high school in September. l!l4l. was a happy group of irresponsible children from the three elctnentary schools in our section. They had per- haps heard vague rumors of the conditions in Europe. China, and even of their own tnother country, England, but these' rumors had little effect on their own happy hearts and minds. for their land still was a land of abundance and the great land of liberty. ln the brief period of three months this scene was changed. Their young minds readily grasped the significance of the disaster at Pearl Harbor. In their classrooms. over the radio. and through the big headlines of the daily press. they became aware of the war in which their country was now involved. Their hearts ached with sorrow for those brothers and sisters who were called fiom thc hotne fires to serve and defend their country. This. however, is to be a history of our class and not a history of our nation. I shall pass from the dark phase of our nation's history and present some of the bright spots in our school life. Our activities were expanded rather than restricted. Our stadium, Sikes Field, erected as a memorial to Professor Sikes, one of Colm's dearest friends, furnished a strong desire for play. The selective service brought many changes in our coaches. Ive were fortunate in securing our present coach, Mr. Anderson, and through his untiring efforts our football teatu attracted tlte at- tention of the local athletic world. ln other words, he put us on the athletic map. Now as we pass front them halls we take pride in the fact that our team has tlte record of outrivaling attv other competitive team for the past two years. Vt'c are also proud of the fact that through the efforts and patience of ltlr. Brown, the Cohn girls' basketball teatn of 1947 won the Eighth District Championship. This was the first basket- ball chatnpionship won in tlte history of the school. lt was in l945 that the boys' basketball advanced to the regional tourna- ment. These were runners-up, both in the Eighth District and Unit ll tournaments. ttfe did not ptlf all emphasis on this phase of school life. Xtle sponsored some very successful social affairs. Those taking place in our gymnasium will long be remembered. The skits and plays which were ptlf on in the auditorium were no less successful. Even if we were to try. we could never forget the time when thc faculty imitated a football event. It is not only in our athletic prowess that we glory today. Nve have equal pride in our scholastic attaintnents. Six of ottr class were elected to membership in the Cohn Chapter of the National Honor Society. ln the Forensic League we have excelled, for in I9-42 Colm's National Forensic League captured more points than any other in the state. ln 1941, atuid the heat of drums and the high-stepping of thc drum major, the Cohn band went to Murfreesboro as a recognized band for the first time. Our ensemble has been in constant detuand in entertaining business and educational groups. tVe, of the senior class. are also very pmud of our school paper, The Clarion. lt has kept us up to date on everything that has happened around school. Especially do we take pride in the fact that the feature story in The Clarion won over the other city schools and was forwarded as the local entry to the National Anti-Tuberculosis Contest. lt was in May, lit-13, that the Cohn Chapter of the National Honor Society sponsored the program for the raising of our service tlag which the P.-T. A. had given. Every boy or girl who had once attended Cohn and had entered some branch of service was rep- resented hy a star that was placed on the flag. John Bibb gave the dedicatory address. A prayerful note for the speedy retttrn of each was the thetne of the entire event. The memorable day of our school life will always be V-E day. Surely no one tteeds the explanation of this expression. How differently did our generation honor that day when we mmpare it with the celebration of Armistice Day of Vtlorld YVar l. Wt'c were none the less joyous than the former generation, but we were inspired to count the day as God's great benediction upon us. There was no boastful cheering, upmar, or excitement. tVe had the day as a holiday. The next day we assembled in the auditorium and revcrently thanked God who had given us the victory in Europe and asked his guidance in our completing a successful catnpaign in the East against our remaining enemy. Japan. The beauty of that service still lingers with us. Our prayers were again answered. In August of l9-l5, the world noted two momentous events. Our Air Corps dropped on japan our newest weapon of destruction, the atomic' bomb. Then every Japanese realized that further war efforts were uselem. V-J Day was the immediate result. By the time school opened in the fall of 445. the tumult and the shouting ceased, but Cohn had not forgotten. The members of the local chapter of the National Honor Society planned a lasting memorial to the twenty-four Cohn boys who had given their lives that we tnight live peacefully. This program took place in our auditorium. Ive were honored by the presence of the families of those of our boys who had made the supreme sacrifice. Every speech, every song, was most fitting. One of our former students, himself a veteran, john Bibb, gave an address that would have done honor to any distinguished statesman. Another veteran. Billy Hills, unveiled the memorial plaque. Vt'e can but feel that these great days have strengthened not only the charac- ter but the ideals of this class. Traditionztlly, May and june have brought roses, but to us these months now held even more. In May came our day - Seuior Day-with all its privileges and fun. Upon the completion ol' the program, we departed on our outing. I.ater in the month the junior class extended to us a farewell in the form of a dinner dance. june brought the night which climaxed the last twelve years of effort It was commencement. NVe were presented with di- plomas. Our thoughts stretched back over the days of fun. work, and frolic. We had had our share of each. All have helped us to acquire a spiritual insight into the really important truths of life. No history of this class would be complete without a final tribute to each teacher who helped us attain our final high school goal. Were it not for them, we would have had no history. To each we are grateful for his patience and understanding. To Miss Morrison in particular we express our sincere thanks for her efforts and cooperation in making our junior and senior years more successful and pleasant.

Behind us we have the memories of our school days, which are now at a close. Many memories run through our minds, and we relive each incident for a few short seconds before passing to the next. After reminiscing for a while, we turn our minds to the future. wondering what lies ahead of us. Of course, we have made our plans for the next few years, but we wonder if they will turn out all right. Are we ready to look to tl1e future? Have we paid all our debts? Of course we have-we paid all our fees and dues before putting on our caps and gownsg or have we? Haven't we missed something, and something very important at that? Yes. we have overlooked the debt to our teachers for the many things they did for our own good. NVe are prone to forget their many sacrinces-the many sleepless nights they have spent because we hadn't been learning as fast as we should-the silver hairs that made their appearance all too soon because of our miss chievousness-the nights they stayed home to grade the papers of a test about which we had complained so much when what they really wanted to do was to go to a movie or to some other entertainment--the wrinkles that prematurely creased their brows because of countless other things that we did or didn't do. Our teachers are not the only ones who have spent many trying hours with us. Our parents have also devoted much time training us. They have stayed awake many nights to look after us. Vve have also caused them many worries and sleepless nights. They have also grayed be- cause of things we did which at the time seemed small to us, but not to our parents. The things in which our parents instructed us are not the same kind of things that our teachers taught us, but they are every hit as important. 'These things may seem trivial. but they are not. They are a very important part of our lives. But for the i sacrifices of our teachers and parents, we would not be sitting on this platform tonight awaiting our diplomas. Mihat shall we do about this great debt? ive should do the only thing there is to do-pay it back. George Peabody said that education is a debt due from the present to the future generations. But how can we repay this obligation? The best way that we can repay it will be to try to help other people. VVe have upon our shoulders the responsibility of seeing to it that the chil- dren of tomorrow acquire an education. It is our duty to help them as our teachers and parents have aided us. This does not necessarily mean that we have to become schoolteachers, but we should choose a vocation which will he beneficial to others. We should not be selfish, for think what would have happened to us if no one would have been willing to make some sacrifice-if no one had had the inclination to be a teacher-if our parents had not cared whether we got along or not. Even if we do l10t want to become schoolteachers, we can became active leaders in the church which we attend. lVe can be interested in making the community in which we live a better place and in helping many people. Mle can be considerate of others in the vocation we choose. WVe can be courteous to people whom we know and whom we meet. lve should not neglect other things, but neither should we disregard being helpful. Therefore, in our plans for the future we should leave room for the com- munity in which we live. for the church we attend, for the business into which we enter, and for everyone with whom we come in contact under any circumstances. Our plans should concern our city. our state, and our nation. Yve, the members of this graduating class, are the ones who will either hold the offices or choose those whom we want to serve as the officers who will rule the country. YVe are the ones who will make up the communities and the churches. l'Ve are the leaders of tomorrow, and to- morrow comes with the dawn. VALEDICTORY THQE VICTORIOUS LIFE We have crossed the bayg the ocean lies before us. WVe of the senior class have crossed the bay, and the time has come for us to embark upon the wide and open sea. Life may be compared to a voyage made upon the ocean. just as the ship that sails the sea must have a destination to reach and a course to follow, so must we have a goal in life that we are striving to attain and a pattern by which to reach that ambition. Each person should set his goal before him and strive every day of his life to reach it. ivithout a destination the ship would drift. Without a goal we would stand still. ln this day, life is too short for us to wait very long before deciding what our aim will be. If we plan to become a doctor, nurse. lawyer, minister, businessman, or enter into an- other type of work, we should set that before us and ever guide toward it. The artist must have a concept of the picture he is going to paint, the architect, a blueprint of the building he is to construct, and we, a picture of the kind of life we want to live and an understanding of its possibilities. However, a purpose alone is not sufficient. ive need also a faith in ourselves that we can make our dreams become realities. The victorious life can be lived only through faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. the evidence of things not seen. One has attained faith when he has become positively assured that something for which he has hoped is certain to come to pass. Such faith is needed in every phase of life. lt is a victorious power in every battle. Faith yields rare, rich returns. I stood and watched my ships go out, Each, one by one unmooring, freeg lifeamuhile the quiet harbor filled l'Vith flood tides from the sea. lily gallant ships, they sailed away, Over thc shimmering summer sea: I stood on watch for many a day, And only one came back to me. For joy was caught by Pirate Pain, And Hope ran on a hidden reef, And Love took Dre and foundered just On blazing shores of grief. ac Faith came at last, storm, beat and tossed, And rerompensed me all my loss, For as a cargo safe she brought A Crown linked to a Cross. The life of faith is a life of peril, for men and women of today are seeking material possessions rather than spiritual values. Too many do ll0t learn from the yes- terdays. They do not look to the tomorrows, but instead they live for today. YVe must build a life that not only has a goal and the faith to reach that goal, but that also has as its ultimate purpose the enriching of other people's lives. Mlhether our life is of service to others will depend upon our career. Out of this senior class will come many different types of careers and professions. There will be those who will choose to be nurses or doctors because they care for the physical Stale of a human being. Others may prefer to be ministers who provide people with a spiritual insight on life. There is -the teacher whose duty lies beyond that of teaching a book. Another career that is just as impor- tant is that of being a mother. A child needs a faithful, honest, trustworthy, and dependable mother in order to develop into the well-rounded person he should be. Re- gardless of the career we choose, we will all have one aim in common-that of attaining a love and understanding of human nature. YVhen we have this purpose in life, faith in ourselves, and the desire to help others, we are ready to set forth across the sea of life. ,aa THE OCEAN OF LIFE ive, the graduating class of 1947, have chosen as our motto these challenging words: Vile have crossed the bay, the ocean lies before ns. If we use our imagination, we might say that within the compass of these words will fall the entire history of this graduating class. The en- deavors of our lives might be compared to crossing the ocean that lies before us. WVe will be a thoughtful group as we march out, for our hearts are filled with memories of our previous years at Cohn. XVe'll never forget the first day we entered Cohn. for we felt desolate and lonely. Vile met a lot of people and soon came to love all that the word Cohn stands for. YVe remember with pride our worth-while activities, which made Cohn a better school for our friends whom we leave behind. It was the Honor Society, composed of seniors from this graduating class, that secured the plaque in memory of the boys from Cohn who were killed during WVOrld VVar II. It was our school paper, the Colm Clarion, which has been hlled with news and activities at Cohn, that was rated fourth among the nation. Vve also hold dear to our hearts the memories of such things as a championship football team, banquets, ro- mances, meetings at lockers and strolling the hall to- gether, sometimes being late to classes. The basketball games, plays, and most of all our senior day and prom also. WVe have spent some exciting days at Cohn, days which will always fill our minds with memories we never want to forget. We remember also that our class saw the beginning and end of the most tragic war in history. Our class was in its first term at Cohn when we received the news of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. life all gathered in the auditorium to hear President Roosevelt in a public ad- dress to the nation, declaring war on Japan. The war didn't mean much to us, for there was an ocean between us and the enemy. However, as we grew older and the war still continued, we began to realize how much our generation was to be affected by this struggle. Each term left more vacant seats as our boys went to help end the war and bring peace to the world again-boys who left never to return, boys that we all loved. Yes, we finally came to understand and know the dreadful meaning of war. As time passed and the struggle finally ceased, boys began coming back, some even enrolling in school to continue what the war interrupted. 'Time rolled by, and finally our senior year arrived. That meant that it would be the last year we could tread the halls together, for soon we would he sailing the seas of life. Some seem to think that after graduation life will become easy. no lessons or teachers to worry aboutg but really we have passed the easy stage in our lives. Vlhat lies ahead may include troubles and worries. In other ways we have crossed the bay, which is our school life that we have just finished. Some will turn back before they embark upon the ocean, for the going will get too difficult for them. Those who set sail upon the sea of life without fully being prepared will never reach their destination because they will perish on the way and be lost forever. It will not be an easy trip, and only those who are steadfast and refuse to be defeated will succeed in the end. They will be the ones to complete a suc- cessful voyage. They are the ones who enjoy life as only those do who put something into it. As we leave 'Cohn to face life's difficulties and pleasures, we will part company with our classmates, realizing that we may never see some of them again, because they will be scattered over different sections of the country. Others will be married immediately after graduation, still others will follow their chosen careers. It will be a sad night when we march out beyond those doors. doors which sym- bolize the opening of new vistas to us. doors which some may never enter again. In closing I'd like to summarize in a poem the sentiments I have tried to express: You to the left and I to the right, For the ways of man must sever . . And it well may be for a day and a night, And it well may be forever. But wlzetlzcr we meet or whether we part fFor llm ways are past our knowingj, A pledge from the heart to its fellow lzeart On the way that we are going. Hereit luck! For we know not where we are going. CLINTON HUTCHISON. Name Miss Morrison ......... Nanette Alexander ..... Billy Bell ....... . . . , . Elinor Bumpas .... Dorothy Burks . . . . .

It all started on the night following Christmas Day. I had eaten so much that I thought I would pop at any moment. Naturally, I wasn't feeling so wellg. so I went to bed to sleep it off. I went to sleep in a very short while, but I was restless and dreamy. This was only the beginning, because the next few moments that followed hardly seemed to be, but it was so real that it was quite possible. I was destined to be the one from the '47 class who was to know all the facts on my classmates' futures. The characters were my senior classmates of l947. The- place. was -all points in the entire world. They were all busily engaged in their varied occupations and professions of 1967. The first one I saw was FRED HATCHETT. He had been through many schools of chemistry, and he was now head of the laboratory at the Westinghouse Corporation. He was totally engrossed in a new element which he had just discovered. Right in the same lot with Fred was BETTY JANE THOMERSON, who was his assistant. She spent her days at the laboratory and nights at the theater. Not far from the Vvestinghouse laboratory was a Gus Sweeney Phar- macy. This was one of many pharmacies owned by the worldbfamous prescriptionist, GUS SYVEENEY. VVhile on the subject of science, l'll tell what the others of our class were pursuing along that subject. In a remote part of Alaska I saw THOMAS HIME. He was teaching physics to the Eskimos. He had become so fascinated with this subject that he wanted every race of people in the world to know about his favorite subject. Thomas wasn't the only one who was fascinated by this. Lois Mat- thews School of Physics was enjoying wonderful success, headed by the foremost lady physicist of the time, LOIS MATTHEWS. By this time I was feeling a little better, so my dream became more on the lighter side of life. I found myself in the Metropolitan Opera House where NANETTE ALEXANDER had the leading part in a new smash-hit opera called Charlotte Town, which was written by the world famous author, LENA JO SEAGRAVES. Only a short distance from the Metropolitan was a magnificent skating rink owned by ENIMA JEAN HALL and DOROTHY HOOPER. They were learning some new and difficult skating tricks. Every Tuesday and Thursday night the skating rink was used as a basketball gym. Two triple All-American players led their respective tennis to victory each night. TOMMY HINES headed the outstanding male team. and CHARLSIE STEIVART headed the outstanding girls' scxtet of the nation. Both Charlsie and Tommy had made unanimously the All-American teams for four consecutive years. Quite a few of the class had gone in for music. Foremost was JEAN DOXVNEY, who had organized an All-Girl Chorus that was the rage of the nation. PAUL USELTON had become very popular with his bass fiddle. He and Jack Benny now have their own radio show called Fiddle Tunes High and Low. No class would be quite complete without its newspapertnen, and this class is no exception. LESLIE TEAL, after being a paper boy for years. had linally bought his own newspaper. His chief reporter and world recognized authority on news was BETTY ANN GARROTT. I found that many of our classmates had been making the headlines. WVILADEAN LEWIS, not to be outdone by any man, had recently been elected to Congress from Tennessee. Her first bill had just been passed. This provided for the construction of a new white house by the greatest architect of all time-ARTHUR IVILLS. BRYANT LIGGETT, our wonderful class president. had frequently ntade the headlines. He had accomplished just about everything possible in this country, and he was now sailing for Europe looking for new worlds to conquer. He excelled in the fields of engineering and music, For his voyage Bryant had chosen a ship owned by the Curd and Hoover Passenger Ship Lines. NORMAN HOOVER. of the same concern, was admiral executive of the fleet, while ROBERT CURD had chosen the industrial share of the business. Every successful country must have its state prisons. and these prisons must have very capable wardens. I don't believe a more capable warden could be found than BILLY DRUMRIGHT. His honesty and sincerity has made all the prisoners like him. Another person who believes in law and order is BOBBY He is employed as a bouncer for Dull'ey's Tavern. Just the opposite of the law is one of our very popular boys, HOYVARD PAYNE. Don't tell Billy, but he is a professional bookie who takes nothing less than every penny you've got, As there is to every group of people a quiet lot, a few who are content with a settled, restful life. so there is among the seniors. In the twinkling of an eye we traveled the four corners of the earth looking in on this group. The first one I saw was that ever quiet, bright-eyed brunette, JEAN NEELY. She and Bobby had a wonderful home life. A neighbor to Jean was MARGARET COLLINS. She had a very lovely brick house with all the trimmings, including a wonderful husband and two lovely blue-eyed daughters. In the loveliest spot a person could wish for, a beautiful old mansion surrounded by lovely trees, the J. B, Proctors resided. Mistress of this beautiful mansion was NANCY MCELHINEY. Out in sunny California, close by the seashore, lived MILDRED SMITH and her husband. Mildred devotes most of her time to her set of twins, Joseph and Virginia. Perhaps the most peaceful citizen atnong the seniors is to be JESSICA MCDONALD. She lived quietly and was well content in raising chickens and flowers. ' JANE MARSHALL had her own school for secretaries where only the best of everything was taught. A new English book written by JOSE- PHINE TAYLOR was the only type of English that she would think about using. Many line secretaries had graduated from Jane's school into good positions. Among these were MARY FRANCES TROXEL and DOROTHY CURD. Both of these girls were happy in their work with their success. Dorothy had kept true to her promise and was a sweet old maid. Quite a few of my classmates had become quite popular in different kinds of sports. M ATTOX. KENDALL CART was a champion in a less energetic sport. He was ping'pong champion of the South. He was-looking forward to the national matches so that he could add that to his honors.. MALCOLM SADLER had just graduated from his third college. He had won an athletic scholarship to go to the first college from high school. He lettered in all the major sports, including football, basketball, and tennis. DAN TERRY, that sports wizard of Cohn, was still playing pro foot- ball with swell succes. Not to be outdone by Dan, HELEN CANTRELL was a star performer on the National XVomen's Champion Professional Basketball Team. The lights of Broadway and the lure of Hollywood had attracted several of my promising classmates. . VERNON THRONEBERRY was thrilling his female audiences with his romantic roles. He was acclaimed a second Van Johnson. TOMMY RAINS was a movie star that, like Bing Crosby, thrilled every- one. He sang, danced, acted, and did just about everything else that went with the movies. . . l ELINOR BUMPAS was a current Broadway star that made a hit. with all the movie-goers. She was the rage of Broadway. Elinor's agent was the famous socialite. JO ANN RUNION. Much of her success was due to Jo Ann. BILLY BELL was a photographer with the New York Herald. He had won numerous awards for outstanding news pictures. JEAN FELTS, that ever popular girl about Cohn. was living a wonder- ful life with CARLTON STINSON. Their ambition was to raise their own football team with Carlton as their coach. ' KATIE YOUNG and her husband had long since been settled in their little nest. This was a cottage home surrounded by a quaint little white fence that just seemed to suit Katie's personality. As everyone might have suspected. and no prophet need there be to tell it, DOROTHY NEBLETT and Gerald I-'elts had started down life's highway together. Dorothy is thoroughly convinced that she couldn't have done better. ' EVA JEAN JONES and her husband had settled in Alaska. The lure of the North and its romantic adventures had been too much. I was privileged to see another of my classmates in a contented home life. This was NORMA JEAN REYNOLDS. Her life with Billy Drum- right had been all peaches and cakes. One of the most original businesses owned by any senior was that owned by LOIS HUNT. This was an approved Matrimonial Bureau. It was known wide and far because of its progress and efficiency. Peculiar thing, though, Lois wasn't married. Lois had a wonderful secretary. She was VVILDA JUNE HUNT. Wilda June was a second Dorothy Dix when it came to patching up lover's quarrels. -The Lois Hunt Matrimonial Bureau had a fine model to tempt the timid boys. She was renowned for her abilities in this capacity. Every model agency was trying to get her. This line girl was none other than MILDRED TRAVIS. Amazing though it was, I even saw myself twenty years from now. I was having a conference with some European officials concerning an enter- prise owned by the U. S. Govermnent. On my oflice door were the words, James Dorris. United States Personnel Director for Europe. 1 gained this position through Youth, Incorporated. RALPHIE HERRON, VERA FOX, and BESSIE MCKAY were three outstanding nurses. They headed the staffs at three of the largest hospitals in the nation. CLINTON HUTCHISON had perhaps the most unusual occupation. He owned a famous Dude Ranch where all tourists to Texas just have to go, HELEN JOHNSON was head librarian of the southem branches of the Carnegie Library Institute. VIOLET SELLS was her assistant. ALAN IVILLIS owned a most famous chain of grocery stores. His slogan was, Bring your money in a basketg take your groceries home in your pocket. Two advenuresome seniors had done the unusual. They were D. L. SMITH and WILLARD OAKLEY. They owned a lumber concern. Willard supervised the selling of the lumber, while D. L. had charge of cutting the trees and hauling them to the mill. They were bot.h most successful in the venture. ANN JAKES and MILDRED fBill-Billj PERRY had joined partner- ship in a most fascinating enterprise. They owned the renowned Little Known Publishing Corporation, with main ollices located in Paris, France. Ann attended to finding new publications, while Mildred spent her time writing popular novels and well-loved poems. Perhaps the occupation that required the most courage was that chosen by CONRAD HERNDON. He was an explorer and big game hunter whose fondest pastime was being lost in the wilds of Africa. MARGARET HOLTON and PEGGY MAXWELL had decided they liked school well enough to teach. They didn't teach a subject t.hat that required them to teach all day, but rather than do this they taught D. O. and had the afternoon off. Far from the stress and strain of our two schoolteachers lived a very happy and contented gentleman. He was DONALD HOVVARD, who lived on a quiet chicken ranch. His only worry was getting enough eggs from his hens to supply the surrounding community. JEAN CROUCH had taken over an unusual occupation. She was head manicurist for her father's barber establishment. MARGARET HAFFNER. not to be outdone by anyone, had just signed an agreement whereby she would be put in charge of all weather observing stations in the South. After a big snow, her job is to take a ruler and measure to see how much snow has fallen. Well, that's Mar- garet, always so original. As I saw these last three seniors I seemed to be coming out of a daze. I seemed to hear the drone of an airplane motor, followed by sweet strains of jazz music. I opened my eyes to see LEE ROY SATTERWHITE piloting a new plane invention of his. This plane had a built-in phono- grajzlh, and the music I heard was a jazz recording of Lee Roy's famous ban . Xvith these sounds buzzing in my head, I suddenly awoke and bolted upright in my bed. I was wide awake, but I had dreamed this dream which I have just related. As I said at the beginning, I was a little sick when I went to bed: this may account for some of the twisted facts in this narrative. For this I am not responsibleg I only know that I was to be the class prophet and that this dream was the revelation of the future of the Senior Class of 1947. JAMES Domus, Class Prophet.

Nihbiw Rolling along like the proverbial Ole Man River, the Cohn Tigers chalked up their second consecutive Inter- scholastic crown. All in the march to a second straight grid title was the outstanding feat by a Cohn team. Gaining momentum in mid-October. the Cohn outfit literally sailed to the throne room. In the ten regular season games. the Black and lN'hite gridders were pressed only once. The North Yanks gave the Tigers a terrific battle before Hnally bowing. Thomas QChuckj Sullivan raced Hfteen yards in the third period to give the Tigers a 6 to 0 to win. Playing before record crowds, the Tigers got over the hump in its opener against Father Ryan. handing the Irish a 12 to G setback. Then came X-Vest, and the Blues were thumped to the tune of 25 to 0. The score was the most decisive ever posted by a Cohn team against lVest. North was next. FOOT By R. B. OWEN Cohn. Class of 19-I5 Nashxtillr' Hanna-r Sporis II'-ritcr The speedy Cohn backheld made the gridiron a race track in rotnping over the hapless Hume-Fogg Tech eleven 53 to 0. A heavy rain before the game made the turf of Keys Stadium thick with mud, but the Mfest Nashvillians disregarded the sloppy condition to whip the Eagles 33 to 0. After being held scoreless the hrst half, the Interscho- lastic champions rolled over Donelson 25 to 6. The Dons left the field at the half with a six-point lead. The score of the Howard game was 32 lo 0. 1 Bellevue was next on the Tiger schedule. and the Owls were handed a one-sided 52 to 12 defeat. Then came Central. and the golden-clad boys bowed I9 to 0. Isaac Litton was the final team to feel the weight of the Tiger power, dropping a 38 to 12 decision. The win gave Cohn its second title and also was its twenty-third straight win. sQu,xn Fnxi row-Billy Mattox, l.ouie Davidson, Dan Terry, Billy Jaynes, Malvern Rahrcr, Managerg Bobby Mattox, Robert Hendrickson.

Cohn and Montgomery Bell Academy. considered the top teams in the local area. clashed in the game of the year. The Maroous carved out a 27 to 14 win to A halt the Tiger victory string at twentywthree straight. Despite the fact that his team lost. tailback Billy Jaynes was the most talked-about lad on the Held. After Maxie Ruuion was injured at the outset of the second quarter. the ball-carrying burden fell on the shoulders of Alaynes. Billy promptly assumed full responsibility. turning in one of the most courageous performances ever seen on a local gridiron. The slim youngster packed the pigskin on prac- tically every play in the final half as the Tigers began to show some of the brilliant play that netted them their second championship. Jaynes scored twice in the last half, although battered and bruised from continual pounding by the heavy M. B. A. forward wall. Yes. that game will long be remembered by local followers of the rough-and- tumble sport. and so will the brilliant. gritty performance of Billy jaynes. Tlnoughout the entire season. the names of jaynes. Ruuion. Billy Drumright. and Carlton Stinson were men- tioned in the same breath with local prep standouts. jaynes, Ruuion, and Drumright were rewarded for their work by being named on the annual All-Nashville eleven. Stinson was selected on the second team. The phenomenal twins, Ruuion and jayues. finished second and third in the individual scoring race. M. B. A.'s Billy Joe Ehrhart was Hrst. Ruuion crossed the double stripe enough times to rack up 113 points. while Billy tallied an even 100 markers. Though much has been written and said about Ruuion and Jaynes, it was the work of the other fellows on the team that made their long jauuts possible.

The team was packed with experience. which paid oll' in the end. lt was built around the veterans, Billy jaynes. Maxie Runion. and Dan Terry. who played last year. Of sixteen games played, Cohn won thirteen and lost three during the regular season. In the tournament. the boys won one game and lost one, that being to YVest. who was defeated only in the State Finals. The teams that -. topped Cohn were East, whom they heat in a later game, and Mlest. twice. After midterm, Mr. Anderson had 'a diliicult job of finding someone to take the place of Carlton Stinson. who graduated. He linally uncovered a boy that turned out to be a real lind. In the last few games 'l'ommy Hines played exceptionally good hall and strengthened the team for the tournament. May we again say to Mr. Anderson and his boys. A big job well done.

The girls finally broke their so-called jinx that had been following them since the beginning of the season. Of ten games played in regular season, live were won. In the tournament, the girls won the Eighth District, defeat- ing East. They then went to the Unit, to be defeated by Cross Plains in the semifinals. This was the lirst time in the history of basketball in Cohn School that a team went to the Unit. Pop Brown deserves our sincere thanks for his patience and work with this team. Cohn is looking forward to another good team next year. There will be experience in the returnees. and we feel that these girls will take thc place of those graduating.

The girls' team was one of the top teams of the city, with Virginia Anderson and jo Ann Runion leading the way to most victo- ries.

BASEBALL ' In 19-16 when most schools reinstated hasehall as a part of their interscholastic sporns, Cohn entered its team. During the previous summer, Dan Terry, Chuck Sulli- van, Maxie Runion, Louie Davidson, and Tom Proctor had played the game with junior league teams. These boys knew the game. So Mr. Anderson had a starting group. Building the team around these boys, he added Doris Spurlock, Ray Frizzell, Billy jaynes, and a few others. During this Hrst season two games were won. This year all hut Doris Spurlock, Tom Proctor. and Ray Frizzell return, which means a team full of experience. Mic believe that Cohn will be one of the leading con- tenders for the title this spring.
