Classmates I know you have heard that old saying Ladies First : Well, I'll take it and use it for better or worse In speaking of classmates, the girls and the boys: The school for a playground and books for their toys. Some say they're as puzzling as great steamer's decks, These girls of our high school! They of the weak sexl Well, these that I speak of are well understood: There's Geneva in the corner trying hard to be good. Catherine is too good to argue or wheedleg And Fannie was vaccinated with a Victrola needle. And never to be forgotten is Laura the pest, She's always at ease if the joke's on the rest! In our athletics, Dixie's boss of them all 1 And Christine's the most beautiful in classroom or hall. There are Annabel and Doris-and Camille Chitwood, The ones that are beautiful, bringing joy to one's soul, Having boys for their slaves, well they're not on our roIl. But we've cooks, wives and waitresses in our class of today, Their success is assured. Yes, they're well on their way. And all of the others are pals good and true, If there's a doubt in your mind then the joke is on you. So, girls, think of schooldays, the happiness they hold, Of each pleasant memory, will they ever grow old? I will leave you this question to be answered by Time. Now think of the boys. May each thought be sublime! I will first take the president, who's best known as David, He's cultured, rejined, and so well behave'd,' Then Ewell Styers, our leader of cheers,' Tom Barkley, the hunter, and mostly of dears. There is Sally, the athlete, may his fame never perish, Bell's leadership in Math. we faithfully cherish. Haskell Lauderbach's known as a human loud speaker, Brewer's mind every day is growing weaker and weaker. And fresh from the country are Bradshaw and Tate, Six miles from the school house and have never been late. Always on time as is scheduled the train, At exactly eight-thirty enters Eugene McClain. Our next representative is Mr. Milton Magee, He dresses neater each day. Oh, who can she be? And Green is much brighter than his name suggests, And Marvin Reaves, our musician, much art does possess, The one with the very downcast homely face- But to mention his name would be an awful disgrace. We have parsons and lawyers and docs in our ranks, To these future high-ups we give many thanks And wish for our classmates the best things in life, May honor be their leader in their struggles and strife, And may as they trod along life's rugged way, Remember forever each happy school day. -Corliss Arnett.

'W Just We Juniors A few years ago a number that may be counted on nature's adding machine by three fingers, a crowd of uncivilized, dumb and weakened students entered Dyersburg High School for four years of confinement. After spending a year's time, they emerged unhurt from under an av- alanche of abuse and initiation cast upon them by the Sophs and upperclass- men. 21114212114 Time passed, and as the load upon this body of students became harder to carry, many became weary and dropped their burdens, turning to the out- side for anything that it would offer and at the same time starting on 1ife's long walk unprepared. ae vs ae Pk More time went by and the aforesaid three years passed. Again this crowd of students who had once appeared so dumb came before our vision, but instead of seeing a crowd of boys and silly girls, we see a group of sensible young men and young women bound together by A common memory of the past and hopes for a. better future. When the student becomes a Junior he or she has reached the period in his High School career when he begins to plan the occupation he wishes to follow through life. He has passed the age of sixteen, at which time he is most affected with what is known as Puppy Love. We feel that our class should be highly commended for it contains many honorable members, such as Charles Fooshee who was unanimously awarded the decision of being the biggest pest, also Boob Draper who was selected as the fairest of the High School lads, also Frances Curry who was chosen as the best liked girly Tansil Palmer, best liked boy and Ferd Hall, best athlete. The Juniors were well represented on the gridiron by such formidable players as Hall, who played half, Palmer, who played tackle, Draper, who played tackle also, Walker, who played guard, Fuller made a fine bench- warmer, and Curnutte made an excellent water boy. These boys did some mighty good work, and helped to give Dyersburg the championship of West Tennessee. Daniels and Craig represented the Juniors on the girls' basketball team, while Hall and Palmer represented them on the boys' team. The Junior class is composed of thirty-seven members, the girls being in the majority. It contains some mighty fine material for such future oc- cupations as lawyers, doctors, missionaries, teachers, boatbuilders, drug store cowboys, shieks, heartcrushers, liars, crapshooters and bums. Our Glee Club consists of Joe Burns, the boy with the laugh that is synonomous to the bray of a donkey. We would like very much indeed to mention other notable characters of our class whom we readily feel will some day have their names in the Hall of Fame, but due to the congestion of space, this must be sufficient.
