E LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT ofthe 1940 Senior Class of the East Nashville High School We, the members of the 1940 graduating class of East Nashville High School, of Nashville CDavidson Countyb, Tennessee, do first acknowledge our appreciation of, and express our thanks for, those assets both tangible and intangible which, like the Hag of our country, have been entrusted to our possession with the distinct under- standing that they be carefully preserved and protected so that, with our passing on, they may be left intact to those who follow: our classrooms, library, gymnasium, stadium, and other physical properties which we have so thoroughly utilized and enjoyed. Also, to be found in our books of account is a faculty, or human equation, the mind and body of which constitutes the most intrinsic asset which we have held so dearly during the friendly days of both semesters. Another treasured posses- sion which we have cherished and which we trust our followers will bear with both enthusiasm and dignity is the Hspirit of East Highj, embracing as it does, sincerity, loyalty, and love, as revealed by the notes and the words of our Alma Mater song. We realize that all these treasured possessions are but peculiar to the realm of the American high school student and we have no alternative in making and publishing this as our Last Will and Testament, but to leave them to the successive graduating classes and we hereby so declare. As we come to the eventide of high school life and our school day sun has set, twilight suggests that we are being whisked into a night whose twinkling stars and shining moon remind us of a Creator who gives us faith, hope, and courage. Therefore, we, the said class, while still acting as a body, do hereby collectively and singly dispose of all these treasured possessions left to us by the class of 1939, together with the products of our own labor and originality keeping for ourselves the essence of their sweet memory. To the East High faculty we leave a sincere expression of our appreciation and love for their continuing patience and student interest which have made it possible for us to wear the cap and gown. To those of our East High associates who are not explicitly hereinafter mentioned, we bid them a hearty farewell and wish for them a full measure of health, happiness and success. Finally we do hereby nominate and appoint Mr. Oliver our sole executor to serve without bond. In witness whereof, we execute our will and set our hands, this, the third day of May, one thousand nine hundred forty. Signed and published in our presence certifying that we have subscribed our names hereto as well as in the presence of the undersigned testator, this third day of May.

Page Thirty -Five I found two letters in my mailbox postmarked New York Z A We S-1 is ef' ' qi vga., if -Q, - g gTlHIlE GREY IEAGLJEE I THE 1946 WEDDING TRIP On the morning of May 9. 1946, as I was preparing to leave for my work at the Post Office, City. Upon opening the first en- velope I found that it was an invitation to attend the wedding of Miss Loraze Duncan and Mr. Robert Marker which was to take place on June 5 in New York. Overcome with surprise, I opened the other letter which was from Loraze, who had been a photographers model in New York for two years. She told me that she and Bob had decided to be married on the anniversary of their class graduation from East Nashville School back in 1940 and that they were sending invitations to all their classmates so that it might be a reunion as well as a wedding. I was so excited that I could hardly wait to tell Eleanor Tyne, who also worked at the Post Office. I found that she too had received her invitation. At lunch we met our excited friends, Mary Stepp and Anne Hyde, who were working at Life and Casualty Insurance Company, After three weeks of shopping and excitement, Finally on the morning of June 5, Eleanor. Ruth Taylor, Vivienne Hicks, and I went to Union Station to take the train for New York. We were surprised to see so many of our classmates there for the same purpose. In fact, it seemed as if the whole train would be filled with the 1940 class of East. In line at the ticket window were my old friends, Fred Stroud and Charles Hardiman, both professors at George Peabody College, and Jane Kirkwood buying tickets for Elynor Shivers and Lillian Rucker, all three of whom were nurses at St. Thomas Hospital. Also in line.was William Payne, buying tickets for himself and his wife. the former Betty Williams. Seeing that I would have to wait to buy my ticket, the girls and I moved around and talked to all these old friends. We went to talk to a group about the drinking fountain tan old East High habitj. The group looking at the picture of the two-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Crook. the former Evelyn Cochran. con- sisted mostly of married couples, Billy Peacher and his wife, who was Helen Cooper, and Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Fulton, who was Louise Gordon. When I saw the line thinning at the ticket window and my companions already in line. I went over to buy my ticket. Eleanor and Ruth had been talking to Josephine Denton and Dorothy Castleman who were now working in the Doctors Building. Josephine told them that Linna Adams, who also worked there, was not able to go to the wedding. Vivienne said that she had just seen Juanita Martin, the basketball coach of the champion Y. M. C. A. team. She told Vivienne that she was going to meet Edith Cantrell, who had married Tud Ralls. the famous professional football star, in Cincinnati. Charles Matthews, now an insurance sales- man and his wife, Mary Miller Black, were also in this group. About that time the conductor shouted, 'tAll aboard. and the whole station seemed to be going down to the train. There were so many whom I had not yet seen. Since I would have the whole trip and three whole days to visit, however, I was not worried. I was surprised and delighted to find that Vivian Cheek and Marie Fly had the upper in our section. Marguerite Wilson and Frances Lovelady were across the aisle. We would have all day to recall our fun at East. On further observation we found that Arthur Gregory, now a Banner reporter, and Guilford Shearon, also a reporter, were in Section 2 and that Dorothy Parham and her husband, Thomas Corlew, who dabbled in local politics, were in Section 4. As we pulled out I could see Thomas' crony, Tom Naive, also a local politician, who, according to tradition, kissed the children and Hattered their parents. The former Evelyn McKinney, his wife, was tugging on his arm to make him leave. We knew we were in capable hands, for the train was engineered by an old classmate, Charles Andrews. Back in the club car over the radio came the Krunchy-Krisp Breakfast Food program, featuring the Cannon sisters, Vera and Uva. Those present were very proud of our twins' success. Albert Rich, a link in the A 8: P chain stores, asked everybody to be quiet while he read us an account of our own Curtis Manor, legislator of the state of Tennessee, in the Nashville Banner, of which William Early was the editor. Mrs. Ernest Lunsford, the former Evelyn Christmas, took advantage of our attention and read us an article in the Good Housekeeping magazine written by Alma Wehby and illustrated by Gladys Gibson. both mem- bers of our class. At the suggestion of Lila Womack, a dietitian at Ward-Belmont, we all went to the dining car. On the way we: passed the conductor, who was Marvin mates were scattered everywhere. In the dining car we Hughes, Dorothy Biles, and Marjorie Locke who were all to be enjoying the trip very much. At another table I spied and Anna Belle Callis eating contentedly. Hudson. It seemed that our class- ran across Nancy Peach. Eugenia happily married and who seemed Mary Etta Martin, Ermine Maddux, Soon after lunch, our train pulled into Cincinnati where we welcomed Edith and Tud aboard, With them were another member of Tud's professional football team, Robert Hulme, and its manager. Vaughn Hoover. We later discovered that Ann Benson and June Bicket, drum majors with the Ohio State Band, led by Robert Bennett, had also come on board the train at Cincinnati. As the train pulled out we waved to Ira Trotter and Mrs. Trotter, Thelma Butts, who were not able to go with us. Ira owns the Trotter Bus Line that runs in and out of Cincinnati. As the train sped on to New York we found many more old pals aboard. In Pullman car, Lakeview, we ran across Orcelia Lankford, Edna Ogles, and Luvena Wilder. the well-known trio on the General Motors program, who got on the train at Miami, where they had been on a vacation. As usual we stopped to talk and found that Orcelia was leaving the trio the Page Thirty-Six ' f fied ii lllltllllil GREY EAGLES 5' ' next month to marry Billy Fletcher, an announcer on CBS, and that they were training Ethel Hicl-:cox to take her place. They said that Nancy Edwards was living in Miami and teaching dancing there. Down the aisle we could hear Dorothy Fulcher talking to someone and we moved on down to see who it was. It proved to be three others, Patricia Hiett, Elaine Carey. and Sarah Crafton, who were earnestly engaged in a bridge game. The people in the next car were enjoying themselves immensely with the radio playing in one end and a quartet composed of Howard Allen, Phillip May, Allen Gwinn, and Fred Ammons ringing in the other. They were being led by George Harding, the well-known aviator at Berry Field. The quartet stopped the mournful sound to call a hello to us. George presented his bride of a few months, Frances Glover, and congratulations followed. This car was full of old East graduates, Van Slack and Mrs. Slack, Frances Hardcastle, and Louise Hackney, the poet, and her secretary, Lila Merrit, Douglas Brantley and Thomas Goodwin, lumbermen from out west. Before we knew it, we had arrived at Cleveland. No sooner had some of us stepped off the Pullman for a little rest, than we spotted James Savage and his brother, Tom, who own a group of ice cream places in Cincinnati. Inside the station we ran into Sarah Hanna and her husband, Jack Jamison, who works at the bank in that city. They were preparing to board the train with another couple. Howard Kirk and Mrs. Kirk, who was Mildred Kelley. The loud-speaker system started calling us aboard. At dinnertime we made another trip to the dining car where we saw Mildred Pendergrass and Gladys Plummer for the First time. We were soon joined at their table by James McCreary, who has been courting Gladys for years. I had such a good time that I was sorry to have that meal come to an end. After dinner as many as could get in went to the club car. I saw Mary Wallenbrock, the dietitian at a hospital in Atlanta and Emma Tucker, who was teaching school in the same city. They told me many amusing experiences that they had had in the past six years. Later, Evelyn Wray and her husband. Neece Richardson. completed our party. As we neared New York City the next morning we could see that famous skyline, I dis- covered that Mr. and Mrs. Ray Petty fDorothy Walkerj who had been honeymooning at Buffalo had got on during the night and through my sleep-fogged mind I welcomed them warmly. When our train pulled into Grand Central Station, it seemed that the whole '40 class of East were getting off, when in reality there were many more yet to be seen. Loraze and Bob were there to meet us. With them were our own Mac Martin, the sensational tap dancer on the New York stage and his equally nimble wife, the former Nancy Riley. who sometimes performs with him. Here our large party split and went to different hotels. At the Ritz- Carlton, where our group, splurging a little, registered, we saw the names of Betty Jane Faulkner, the famous concert singer and her accompanist, Mary Ruth Crowder, who were guests there. I also noted that Phillip Cole, the Hollywood dress designer and his wife, Elsie Brown, the current rage of the silver screen, were registered. Further down the list I saw three Smiths. The first read Allen Smith and wife, the second, Wm. Maynard Smith: and the third, Paul Smith, I remembered that Allen and Donna 4GilliamJ were from St. Louis and that Maynard was now a photographer in Chicago. He had become famous by his photograph of Mildred Corder, the singer, with Frank Stratton's Orchestra. Paul, I heard, was happily married to my old friend, Lucile Buck. Just then I was so glad to see Virginia Alessio and Billy Jernigan, Virginia told me that she and Velma Brann were dress designers for a large department store in New York City. Billy, I discovered, was a Hoorwalker in the same store. My, but it seemed that everybody came in at once. I could see Luella Allen, Alberta Bowers, and Margaret Clinard coming toward us. They were all working in New York and had come to see us arrive. Over the radio, as we rested in our rooms, came the voices of the famous comedian, Buck Woodroof, and his assistant, Avonne Wright, who had just recently received the Radio Guide's award for service to radio. We laughed at the program, remembering Buck and Avonne in the good old days. Guest artist on the program was an old classmate, Mary Jane Hudson, whose latest book had been the best seller for 1945. Our program was interrupted by the telephone. It proved to be the desk calling to say that a Miss Evelyn Scruggs and a Mr. Barry Dunlavy were on the way up. In her last letter, Evelyn had said that she and Barry, who was now the professional tennis champion selected to play for the cup next year, were engaged. His partner, Ed Lehning, was to be best man in the wedding. We were very glad to see them and spent a good hour recalling our school days. Evelyn said that Jean Price was doing well in New York as a photographers model and that Evelyn Rucker was coming up in a few weeks to try her hand at the business. Barry had just returned from South America where a tennis match had taken place. He had stayed with Aaron Brown and his wife Mary Hesson, who own a ranch there and are getting quite rich. He said he was surprised to see Edward Raggett, the well-known baritone, on tour in South America. I also learned that Corinne Taylor and Jean Hewitt were in the women's tennis tournament. Again, we were interrupted by the telephone. This time it was Lonnie Martin, manager for Jimmy Kent's Revue which was opening in New York City that night. He told us that Jimmy was sending tickets for the performance. We thanked him and resumed our babbling. That night we took a cab tq the revue. As we arrived, we could see that the theatre was an imitation of a Hollywood premiere and that the NBC announcer, Sam Ray, was introducing the celebrities to the radio audience as they arrived. As we alighted we saw that the latest screen sensation, Robert Pounders, was arriving amid a throng of autograph seekers. His constant companion, James Morgan, was behind him, This was all very thrilling to us so we stopped to watch. As they moved on, the spot picked up Connie McEwen, the star of the Page Thirty-Seven Q i J V, fi 5. if,2, qt 1 if ,391 5 YM EEHE GREY EAGLE? revue, and her leading man, Kenneth Thomas. It did us good to see that so many of our classmates had made a success. As it was nearly time for the show to begin, we hurried in. Jimmy met us at the door and took us to our seats. He left us with his wife. Margaret Bauman, who introduced us to some of their friends. Just then the master of ceremonies, Herman Perry, announced the first act, which was a wrestling bout between Maurice Karr, the champion, and A. W. Owen, refereed by Jack Odom. Knowing very little about such things. I never knew who won. The next thing on the program was a ballet number in which I saw several that I knew. Virginia Allen, Levonia Atkinson, Alyce Comstock, Elizabeth Hampton, and Evelyn Duncan. The star of this was our own Christine Gwaltney. who danced on her toes. We enjoyed this very much. During a short intermission in the lobby we saw Juanita Crump and her husband, Paul Cartwright, who told us that they were living in St. Paul. Minnesota. where Paul was an architect. They said that James Herod and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Brassell, were also n St. Paul, During the intermission we saw Ruby Crawford and Pearl Bradford. too, who said that they had come on an earlier train to do some shopping for Pearl's wedding which would be soon. The prospective bridegrcom was John Stedelin. It was time to go back to our seats as the second act was about to begin. Herman announced that the next would be Robert Leftwich. the great magician, assisted by Jimmy Gribble and Elizabeth Allen. This part was very good although rather hard on the nervous system. A acrobatic number followed, starring Gertrude Almquist, Ruth Beasley, and Geneva Webster Their teacher. Roy Williams. beamed cn them from the wing. Their real ability called for many encores. Letcher Murphy and his orchestra then played several of the latest song hits, one of which was sung by Marjorie Helen Dobie. The last act with Connie and Kenneth doing a ballroom solo followed by a group of girls in an exhibition waltz was splendid. Again I saw scme girls that I knew. On the right were Gloria Park. Janelle Melton, and Mozelle McGowan: cn the left. Margaret Wright, Lois McCord and Juanita Pennington. After a very enjoyable evening, we all went sound asleep with fatigue The next morning dawned clear and warm and we dressed to go to the church. After many last-minute details, we got off and arrived twenty minutes early fimagine thatll. As we walked in we could hear the loud peal of the organ which I knew was being played by my old friend Mary Sue Warren, and the voice of Elizabeth Wehrenberg. A male soloist sang, and I afterwards learned it was Neil Lancaster. I saw him and his wife, the former Pauline Sutton, at the reception after the wedding. Then I saw Anna Belle Buck and Hazel Davis walk in on the arm of Bill Webster, who was ushering, They were followed by Elinor Gilbert and her husband, James Gregory, and Elizabeth Herbert and her fiance, Robert Caughey, I could see Nannie Sue Wright, Dorothy Waldrip, and Vida Uselton in the pew in front of us. I heard that they were now going to art school in New York. Just then David Adams, the other usher brought Mr. and Mrs. Harry Binkley fthe former Mary Fullerl down the side aisle, The organ began playing the Wedding March and the minister. Dr. Robert Hedrick appeared at the altar, I could see Bob and his best man, David Brown, at the altar, also Down the aisle came a little boy of about three years of age bearing the ring. I later found out that he was Kelly Clements, III, son of Charlotte CDunwoodyl and Kelly. I also discovered that the little flower girl was the daughter of Lillian Hendricks and Jack Carson. The brides maids, Mildred Williams, Helen Woodall. Mary Catherine Sanders, and Dorothy Skeggs marched slowly, one by one, down the aisle. The maid of honor, Glennara Clark, followed and then came Loraze in a beautiful white dress and veil. The lovely ceremony brought tears to my eyes and I felt glad that I had come to see it My dreamy look was soon gone for Ruth pushed me into a cab. She wanted to get to the reception at the hotel early. no doubt. She probably wanted to see more old friends and her wish was rewarded for we met Arlene Pelton. the Olympic swimmer, and her best friend Sarah Jones, coming into the lobby, While we were talking, a puzzled-looking couple asked if we knew where a wedding reception was to be held in the hotel. They turned out to be our old friends, Bill Bryan and his wife, Mary Louise Howell. We moved in a body to the reception room and there saw Billy Sanders, the talented young musician, James Martin, who is now selling washing machines: and the typical Fuller Brush man. Ray Busby. They were busy jabbering with the comedienne, Natalie Rhea, and her secretary. Kate Hunt. They seemed to be having such a good time that I merely waved to them and moved over to a group made up of promising young lawyers. Albert Kirkpatrick and George Griffin and their wives, Thelma Sullivan and Virginia Tucker. Claude Cheriy, also a lawyer and a gay young bachelor, was a member of this group. Our talk was interrupted by the entrance fcn crutchesl of Jennie Van Nabors, the famous horsewoman. I remembered that she had been hurt in a fall a month or two before. Mary Ellen Jakes and her husband, Wallace Riggins, the oil man, entered directly behind her. Everyone gathered to speak to them only to scatter as the bride and groom came in A happy hour followed in which we teased the newlyweds and recalled old times. The late arrivals, Dr. Evan Davenport and Dr. Joseph Earhart, were wamly welcomed. Four very tired girls made their way to Grand Central Station that afternoon for the trip home. As we started down the passageway to the southbound train we met Ewin Miller coming out. To his dismay he socn discovered that he was exactly six hours too late for the wedding But turn around? He would not. He said that since he was as close to New York City as that he would see the sights before he returned. As the train pulled out of New York. my eyes closed with weariness and my mind wandered back over the happy two days I had just spent with all my classmates of the 1940 class of East Nashville High School. I wondered if ever we would all meet again.

There seemed to be boundless opportunities awaiting us. On becoming acquainted with some of the seniors who had absorbed part of its riches, we became aware of our chances for self-development. Soon we were caught in the exciting swirl of school life. We became the proud bearers of the name, Eagles. That was several years ago. Now we have reached that time when we've taken advantage of most of that which it offers. Our relationship with the school is about to change. We shall soon move out into the world, but we will represent the school wherever we go. We have high hopes for the future based on accomplishments of the past. I will call your attention to some of the accomplishments and developments which occurred during our time. Three forward steps were taken at the organization of our R. O. T. C. unitg the East High Band, which now marches to the tune of our new class song, FOTLUHTK1, Eagles, and the Men's Club. We have watched the be- ginning and progress of the Dramatic Club organized by Mrs. Alder and now being capably directed by Miss Binkley, Salesmanship classes were initiated. Several terms ago the public address system came to the rescue of the auditorium programs. We have had losses as well as gains during these years. We felt deeply the retirement of a kind and able leader in Mr. Fisher in the fall of '39, but we have been happy to have in his place another capable and humane gentleman, Mr. Oliver. It was during our time that Coach Armistead left to become principal of Highland Heights and again we were fortunate to have Mr. Cecil and,Mr. Huggins to carry on his Work. Page Forty-Six GQ ' ' - EF f -41 1 - ' S ' T 18' :Jig I 1 ' , - r J X ' 9 K ETHE GREY lEAGlLlEiE 5 At the present time we are experiencing the revival of intramural sports and renewed interest in clubs. Many of these clubs have given interesting and profitable programs in our auditorium at different times and some have won recognition in their line of work. We are proud of the fact that the formal initiation ceremony originated by Mr. Cecil and his committee in the Junior Civitan Club has been adopted by the Civitan Clubs throughout the nation. Some individuals of our class have won honors in various fields of endeavor. Mac Martin broke mid-state record for running the mile, winning the state cham- pionshipg Jimmie Kent won first place in the boys, declamation contest of the cityg Connie McEwen in the girls. Curtis Manor set a new high for scholarship at East with an average of 98.7. William Early won a high place in extemporaneous speaking contest and your Writer took some prizes in the Civitan's Citizenship Essay Contest. Time does not permit us to mention all the worth-while and pleasant things that we have been doing these years. We have come now to realize the fact that we must seize every opportunity for learning. We must grasp quickly every means in our power to complete well our last days before our relationship changes from a student to an alumnus. Now we are leaving the joys and trials of our happy school days and turning our faces resolutely toward the real cares and responsibilities of life, but we go forth with high hopes and with a firm resolve to make the ambitions and ideals instilled within us at East High the guiding principles of our new lives. In days of old young knights rode forth to protect the helpless, to succor the innocent, and to slay fierce dragons and thus to win their golden spurs. In this day of a world gone mad with war and carnage may we not resolve to destroy the dragons of hatred and fear that now threaten the peace and safety of all innocent and helpless people and may We ride forth not to win golden spurs but to grasp firmly in our young hands the precious olive branch of peace and love.

X X is Y s it N THE GREY JEAGLJEE S- The Squad FOOTBALL East was not so successful in her gridiron campaigns this year as she has been in in years gone by, scoring only one touchdown during the entire season. This drastic fact may be attributed to several causes. The team was almost entirely inexperi enced, most of the old team having graduated in '39, Added to this is the misfortune of two of our few experienced players receiving injuries early in the year which disabled them for the greater part: of the season. Several other injuries added to the hard luck of the team. Eleven of the forty-three football men are leaving with the Class of '40. They are Captain Tud Ralls, John Zophi, Mac Martin, Fred Ammons Bob Pounders, Barry Dunlavy, Robert Hulme, William Patterson, Harry Binkley Ewin Miller, and Jack Jamison.

When practice started, seventy-six girls applied for positions, but the number was finally reduced to twenty. Sportsmanship and teamwork were outstanding throughout the season. In the District Tournament, the girls had the misfortune to meet Du Pont, the league champions, and were upset in the first round by a margin of two points. The regular team consists of: CAPTAIN JUANITA MARTIN, Center RUTH THOMPSON, Center DoRo'rHv CARTER, Forward CORINNE TAYLOR, Forward JEAN HEWITT, Guard MARY SUE WARREN, Guard Page Fifty-Three . ie? 5 r L' 4 '-5. , L- '93 QT ,M , :ix ik Y- -f if ' - W 4 Sir, . E ETHE GREY EAGLES The Tournament Team BOYS' BASKETBALL The East basketball quintet was handicapped practically all season by sickness and injuries. Indeed, all five of the regulars were never on the Hoor at the same time until one week before the District Tournament. Notwithstanding the repeated misfortunes, however, the team won seventeen of the thirty-four games played. The worst beating of the season was suffered at the hands of Father Ryan, with a score which read 46 to 32. The greatest victory according to scores, was over Cumberland, 45 to 27. When the regular five finally did get together, though, the team advanced to the semifinals in the tournament, but were upset by West High, 20 to 19. Barry Duncan and H. recovered from he was able to team, and Fred Dunlavy was the high score man of the season, followed by Frank C. Smith. Billy Neal displayed brilliant ability when he finally pneumonia and Captain Tud Ralls showed fine work whenever play. The seniors are Tud Ralls and Barry Dunlavy, of the Hrst Stroud and Billy Peacher, of the second team. Page Fifty-Five ir ' Q9 k .A P - . S -A 6? ' S xg 7 -Q?

' TRACK The East Track team has had a goodly measure of success this year, notwith- standing the fact that they lost two of their three dual meets. The two high scorers were Mac Martin, district and regional mile champ, with a minimum time of four minutes, forty-nine seconds, and Maynard Smith, holder of district high jump record of five feet, eight and three-fourths inches. East captured second place in both district and re- gional meets, with Martin, Smith, Alex- ander, Rutledge, and Dunlavy doing brilliant work. Scores of dual meets are as follows: East 47 80 T. I. S.

C. was organized in the fall of 1937 under direction of Lieutenant Colonel C. C. Benson and Sergeant A. J. Myers. The original enrollment was approximately 250 cadets, the training of whom was facili- tated by the importation from Hume-Fogg of Second Lieutenants William Fulcher and Luther Smith. The first year saw the installation of William Fulcher as cadet major, Luther Smith, Landys Sanders, and Robert Caughey as cadet captains. The American Legion medal for the outstanding cadet was presented to Major William Fulcher, while that for the outstanding First-year work was awarded to Corporal Curtis Manor. The high lights of the year were the annual Federal Inspection and a competitive drill in which East ranked third, the winner's banner being taken by the Hume-Fogg unit with West High running second. The second year of military history saw East organized as the Second Battalion of the Nashville High School Regiment under direction of Major Halbert H. Neilson, Colonel Benson having been transferred to Fort Knox, Kentucky. Hugh Mott was made cadet major, with Robert Caughey, Harold Cummings, and Hayden Clements as captains. The battalion was organized in three companies, E, MF, and HG, instead of only two, UE and FH as before, GH Company consisting of band members and junior high students. This year, the East riiie team was organized, and met with no little success in its matches. The R. O. T. C. wrestling team was also successful in its work. Major Hugh Mott won the outstanding cadet medal in '39. When many of the officers graduated in January, the battalion was reorganized in two companies, with Billy Tugwell as major, and Cecil Acree, Ed Lehning and Thomas Webster as captains. The boys acquitted themselves well in the school's annual Iris Pageant. The unit failed to attain the much-coveted 'tHonor School rating on Federal Inspection, and in the competitive drill between schools, companies competing this time, E Company came away with third place, while HF Company was pushed into sixth place. The boys began this year with a brand-new spirit and a determination ,to win. Under the leadership of Cadet Major Ed Lehning, with Captains George Harding, Thomas Savage, and Woodrow Porter, they improved steadily. Drill regulations had been changed, making it easier for the recruits, and they really went to town. First Lieutenant Curtis Manor received the outstanding cadet medal this year. The unit did well on Federal Inspection, but accurate results are not procurable at present. After Federal Inspection, due to several postgraduate ohicers leaving school, the battalion was again reorganized, placing Thomas Savage as major, and Sam Ray, Curtis Manor, Maurice Karr, and Woodrow Porter as captains. The unit's latest activity to date is participation in East High's fourth annual Iris Pageant. The cadets are enthusiastically preparing for the drill which will show their im- provements in comparison to other Nashville units, and the East High R. O. T. C. looks forward to a very brilliant future. Page Sixty .

O. T. C. unit in our school. This idea slowly formed into a resolution and was taken to Mr. Oliver for consider- ation. Mr. Oliver, and Major Neilson of the R. O. T. C., discussed the possibility of the idea, and soon the girls were given permission to enroll. The unit is composed of 137 cadets. There are seven platoons, each headed by a lieutenant. Each platoon leader is assisted by a second leader and a platoon guide. The uniforms consist of white skirts, white jackets fastened by red buttons, and white military caps, with the insignia of East on them, made like those of R. O. T. C. boys, The initial appearance of the group was made during the Iris Pageant this year when it paraded for the first time. r The leaders a e as follows: First Platoon , . LIEUTENANT VIRGINIA ALESSIO Second Platoon . . LIEUTENANT EVELYN ACREE Third Platoon, .. LIEUTENANT GENEVIEVE SANDERS Fourth Platoon . LIEUTENANT DORLENE HORNER Fifth Platoon. .. -LIEUTENANT JEAN HEWITT Sixth Platoon . . LIEUTENANT NANCY FELTS Seventh Platoon . , . , . , . , . , . , . , . , , , . . ,LIEUTENANT GLYNN SPILLERS The purpose of the unit is to furnish something different for the girls and at the same time to improve posture, marching, and coordination.
