X, X, f H STORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS Ten and two years ago in the year nineteen hundred and twenty-six, the present Senior Claes embarked upon the stormy sea of learning. we continued on our journey without mishap until we entered the eighth grade. There in the storm of county examinations, we lost a few of our able seamen. The remainder of the class was able to withstand the heavy downpour of questions shot to them by the county superintendent and graduated with Reverend R. E. Hamer delivering the address. After graduation from the eighth grade we continued on our sea of learning by becoming Freshmen in Milan High School. we added a goodly number of seamen to fill in the ranks of those who had already fallen by the wayside. Of course, ae committed many ignorant acts as Freshmen always do, but Mr. Taylor seemed to under- stand our ignorance. A little of our ignorance had worn off when we became Sophcmoras. The class wo a prize of five dollars for selling the most football season tickets. One of our classmates, Marion Thompson, was M len's 11. Queen at the Strawberry Festival. When we became Juniors we were well upon our voyage to graduation. Miss Johnnie was our class sponsor and we accomplished much under her leadership. hrtha Rhodes was an attendant to the Milan Queen. The class entertained the Seniors with one of the most enjoyable banquets ever given by a Junior Class. We entered the Senior Class as a polished and re- fined group of girls and boys. One of our most popu- lar Senior girls, M rion Thompson, reigned over the Halloween Ball. As Seniors we have enjoyed the many privileges common to all Senior classes., We.hnvig.9 appreciated the sponsorship of Mr. Pittman and M s. Clark. The Seniors have the honor of being the first class to graduate from the new building. we are keep- ing up our tradition of springing new ideas upon the student body by publishing the Senior Class Annual. We are looking forward to graduation where our voyage on the sea will end at Milan, but we are sure that it is only the beginning for many of us. Boyd Webb X ff! ,fxxxl THE PROPHECYXOF THE SENIOR CLASS OF IQJB As I set there waiting-for the stroke of genius to strike, I fell usleepg and us I slept I dreamed this dream. I wss paying u visit to that celestial city which lies beyond. I had died of thnt terrible mnludy, spring fever. In this city I set upon L lofty hill from which I wus permitted to view ull scenes on earth. The lives und accomplishments of people were unrolled before me es if by magic. I wus enabled to see ull, know ull, prophesy ull. I ndturclly looked up my former schoolmctes, the Seniors of the Cldss of '38. My uttention wus called to u scene in Bruzil. I suw u broad-shouldered msn with un dir of authority supervising the construction of a large dam. In an attractive bungalow nearby I saw a little women con- tentedly going about her duties as housewife and two sturdy youngsters playing in the yard. I recognized these people as those whom I had known as Billy Caldwell and Frances O'Daniel. The scene chsnged. I viewed a beautiful home in the suburbs of s smell but thriving cityl In the liv- ing room of this house listening with greet enjoyment to the program of Americe's most pcpulsr comedians, nbumbelln Jones end 'Pugn Johnson, wee Marion Thompsonn now the wife of the President of Model Milling Com hnya I was permitted to visit u greet publishing company. Sested behind the desk in the president's office was Boyd Webb interviewing the famous novelist, nvelyn Keil. As I walked out I recognized the office boy to be none other than Julien Venn. What could this next scene be? It is n gathering of wonwn, furmer's wives. As I drew necrer I sew Nell Daniels, now u matron discussing the problems of chicken culture with my old classmntes Lurlene Burger, Wustel Fene Ccsey, Bessie Cary, Inez Volner, Audrey Gurmsny, Corinne lcMinn, and Mary Sempson. I stayed long enough to recognize the county demonstrutor to be Helen Stinson. - PROP!-ECY qcom-DJ Again the scene changed, this time to one of horror. On the aory field of bettle I saw General H. H. Peex leading his men, facing death with them brevely not sitting back from the scene om conflict and directina their actiozs. sack behind the lines I beheld an awiul scene, My old friend Mertha Poindexter who had held my.hend as I lay dying of spring fever was oeing equally conscling to our soldier boys as a nurse in the ermy hospital. who could resist such an opportunity to view from above old M. H. S.. School was out and I run in on e faculty meeting. was it n faculty eeeting or merely some oi LHCSU 1938 Seniors loefing in the orfice? The Superintendent is Ray Munnina. He is dearly loved by all the pupils becuuse he cannot reprimend those who ure no worse then he wus ten yeers ago. Other teachers ere Nancy Alexander, teacher of public school music, Geraldine Moore, Letin teacher, Ruth Veughn, instructer in the commercinl department, Willie Annu Teylor, teacher of English, und Catherine Manning, Home economics teacher. Some ms5netic force culled me to the Sterrick building in Memphis. A sign on the door of e eighth floor office ennounced thut Byron Haynes, Architect was out. I welxed on down the hell und 51unCed into the office of L. M. Rdmer, Attorney. Sitting in a stately munner before his desk teking down in precise shorthund whet he dicteted wus his stenogrepher, Mhrthu Rhodes. While in Memphis I visited u nisnt club long enough to hear Dcrris Cogdell accompanied by the orchestra of that muster of rhythmn Ben Denney sing one of the populur songs of the dey end to observe the presence of Louise Mills, still c spinster end her escort, Harry Fuchs. , I was werned thst my time wus limited so I hasten- ed ucross the country to Hot Springs, Arkunsus, to view briefly because here my visionury power wus tuxen the work of Dr. Dorothy D. Wheeler in the hespitel there us she lebored to restore to health those ef the Class of '38 who had fallen by the wayside. Q Harguret Fly.

They scored the first hnlf und were leading at the half, but the Rams came back with too m ch power during the last half and the Bulldogs could not stand the attack. The Somerville game was played in mire and slush. Somerville, as is usually the case, brought a well- coached team and got the jump on us the first of the game and scored on us. After a see-saw battle in the mud the bulldogs finally pushed across a marker to tie the score. Dunavan intercepted a pass at the close of the game and raced almost to the goal before he was brought down. The Trenton game was looked forward to with greet concern because of the rivalry that has always existed between the two schools. Milan made the Bulls dance to the tune of 20-6 after an interesting game. Woods, Leach, and Ramer played very good ball with woods catching passes as never before. This game was a treat for the Milan fans. The team rode down to Brownsville and put the Tomcats in the camp with a score of 20-6. The out- standing players, Woods and Dunavan, strode down the field for the winning points. The Greenfield game was very one-sided.' The Bulldogs had a field-day at the expense of the Green- field tsam. They scored 52 points and practically everyone except Hatchet O'Daniels took a part. Leach let go everything hsfhsd to score seven touchdowns. Turkey Day brought the undefeated Huntington team to the home Gridiron and along with them came one of the largest crowds ever to witness Milan High School play football. The game was played in a cold drizzle of ruin. Milan was soaked with a 14-0 defeat after' Leach was taken out with a broken leg. Captain Lassiter, Caldwell, G. Jones, and Romer wrecked most of the Mustangs' plays. Fumbles probably cost the Bulldogs the game.

In both of the Milan-Dixie games it was nip and tuck from beginning to end. These two games established Milan and Dixie as co-favorites in the regional meets The girls went through the County and District tourneys with little trouble. hrion Thompson was chosen the best player in the county after exhibiting an uncanny eye for the basket. It was very much the same story in the District meet when Inez Vbluot collected an amazing total of over 200 points in four games to take the scoring honors: In both tournaments the leads piled up by these two girls were well pro- tected by Catherine Manning, Leatrice Thompson and Louise iCountryD Leach, who played their guard positions perfectly. The girls played under a great handicap in the Regional meet, having lost Janie Downing and Bonnie Sue MhLemore. the regular centers. The subs played wonderful basket-ball, but the loss of the two centers was felt keenly. ,The team made a good showing in spite of this and took the first two games easily. when they met Dixie in the semi- finals however, the Milan team got off to a bad start in the first quarter and Dixie piled up a lead that the Milan girls could not overcome alll though they played on even terms in the last half. The girls came back Saturday night, however, and beat Dyersburg by a decisive score. Manning and Volner made the 811 West Tennessee team. Q., Graduation will hurt the team this year as Brion Thompson, Inez Volner, Bonnie McLemore and Catherine Manning go down in history along with the other stars such as Pauline Coleman, Sarah Belew, and Thelma Turner. There will be others just as good next year if everything runs true to form. There will probably be forwards and guards better than ever as Milan had a strong line of reserves the past season. Emmett Ramsr X, f XXX BUYS' BASKETBALL REVIEW Graduation in 1957 left only one letter man to return to the basketball squad for the season of 1938. But with an abundance of material coming in from junior high schools, we looked forward with high hopes to a successful season. le opened the season against an old rival, bdina, and with only a week's preparation won the game by the narrow margin of one point. It seemed that we were gradually improving and would be at our peak at the time of the tournament. The strong Sardis team came to Milan and were able to defeat us in an overtime period by a very narrow margin. we defeated the strong Bemis team and reached the climax when we went to Bradford and defeated the team in an overtime period. Tru1y5 we thought we had a great team and looked forward to the approaching tournaments. But cur hopes were in for a terrible crash. Illness-vpneumonia, measles, and colds-forced some of our best players out of the line-up and weakened others to such an extent that they couldn't play the brand of ball that they were capable of playing. As a result we were only able to win second place in both the County and District Tournaments. But, with the loss of only one man, we are looking forward to the next season which, we hope, will be our most successful one. any fe ff W fglulif Fri? 5 ff L Q Il. f ll Il Ill!! x V ,A-..

The aim of the club is to develop a business per- sonality. Many people make a success in the business world who have very little of what the world knows as education, but much of the priceless asset known as business personality. Since this character trait may be improved by training, the club has tried to use their programs to better qualify themselves for the places they will have to occupy in the business world of tomorrow. all of the programs have not seen educational, some are social altogether. Our kid, valentine, and Christmas parties were of this nature. The following students have taken advantage of the opportunities offered by the clubs Byron Haynes, Pres srnestine Jones, Vice-Pres.
