YOUNC This is indeed an eventful year in the history of Ramsay High School. We have Ixien accredited hy the State Department of Kducation and admitted as a member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools. We have organized a chapter of the National Honor Society. We have our first graduating class and our first Annual. I am sure that our students and patrons join me in feeling a pardonable pride in the auspicious beginning we have made. It is my earnest desire that we may so carry on that Ramsay will take its place as one of I’ir-mingham's outstanding High Schools. Let us endeavor first of all to excel in Scholarship. This more than anything else will determine our standing. The record made in college and in life’s activities, our first graduating class, is of utmost imj)ortance. We are looking to you. our first graduates, to set a standard so high that it will be a challenge to all succeeding classes. Finally, we pledge to Mr. Ramsay, our sincere friend, for whom our school is named and to whom this Annual is dedicated, our very best efforts to make this a school of which he may be justly proud.

Nevertheless, it must be admitted that in June, 1938, when I was assigned to cover the “Hunter Trial, I felt quite an unusual interest as Lewis Hunter, a former classmate of mine, was the defendant. The remarkable features of the ease attracted my attention. It seems that Junior (as he was once familiarly designated) and some friends were happily engaged in cock fighting down on his country estate, when the advent of two officers of the law abruptly Interrupted these interesting proceedings and summoned Junior to court. I was informed that the person instigating this arrest was Miss Martha Matthews, president of the Humane Society. Wending my way to the court room that Saturday morning 1 came upon Elmer Thuston looking particularly downcast. He seemed to l c traveling in my own direction. “You don’t look exactly cheerful, I remarked to him. No, he admitted, 'Tin cue of the chief witnesses for the state in the Hunter Trial, and besides being forced to inform against my old friend, I am having to neglect my wholesale business.” Just then we encountered Jean Loyd and Jane French, co-owners of The Style Shoppe,” accompanied by Hugh Egerton, manager. Good gracious, are all of you witnesses, too? 1 exclaimed. No, just spectators, Jean explained. I suspect you'll see many Ranisavitcs of the Class of ’33 there, too. Jean's statement was verified when 1 entered the court room, tor I beheld what appeared to l� e a reunion of all mv old Ramsay classmates. Classmates to the right of me. classmates to the left of me chattered and gossiped! I saw Josephine Hale, Virginia Harris. Johnny Youngblood, and Sara Sloan. Having ample time to spend licfore the beginning of the trial I rushed over and joined a group. From force of a reporter's habit I inquired into everyone's affairs. Right here I wish to divulge some of the melange of facts garnered: Charlotte Daly, the famous woman mathematician is ! cginntng to force even Einstein to look to his laurels; Tucker Mackenzie, missionary, is doing his Ix’st for the heathen Chinee ; Joel Morris, a ship's doctor, played a noble part in the sinking of his liner; Martha Bray maintains her old role of heartbreaker; Alice Scott and Anne McKinley have settled down to a succession of house-wifely duties; Sara Joe Green and Page Haralson, designers, create clothes for Marion Johnson and Mary Crochran. mannequins: James Johnson is Parisian buyer for a large millinery concern. This interesting information was interrupted by the entrance of His Honor. Would wonders never cease! The judge was Jack Harper. 11 is Honor called the court to order and read the list of the jurors. Wonders did not cease, for six of the jurors were my former Ramsay classmates. They were: Virginia Oates, Richard Fell, Elizabeth Daniel. Holland Cox. Alice Nolan, and Tom Conway. Next the state's witnesses were introduced. By this time I was prepared for any shock; therefore. 1 felt not the slightest sensation of surprise at the appearance of Emanuel Greenberg, prosecuting attorney, who licgan his ease with the state witnesses: Elmer Thuston, Martha Matthews, a small colored boy, and Miles Copeland, the sheriff of the county in which lay the estate of Mr. Hunter. Mr. Greenlicrg skillfully drew out his witnesses to the very l� est effect. A telling point in the case was the fact that Copeland, the sheriff, had been to sec Mr. Hunter about the fights, hut Junior had disregarded the majesty of the law and sought to presume upon their old friendship, even attempting to inveigle the sheriff into the sport. Here the state rested its ease. I discovered that Mr. Hunter had retained the partners, Shaw and Johnston, as his attorneys. These two lawyers so ably conducted the defense against odds that the jury was unable to reach a decision. The court thus adjourned until the following Monday. The judge next assigned a hotel to the jury, and obeying instructions I trailed the jurors to their hotel, the clerk of which was Tom Thompson who informed me that the jurors were attending the game that afternoon played between the New York Yankees and the Chicago Cubs. Accordingly. I accompanied them to the ball park where I found the Yankee star. Bill Bruce, playing a noble game against the Cubs on whose team were Otto Mooney, Dunlap Macaulay, and Henry Holmes Hill. Seeing Louise Vance and Katherine Sims, now society's two most pojmlar matrons, I joined them for a short time. Naturally, Ye Goode Oldc Daves was the subject of our conversation; during the course of which I acquired information to the effect that Girdine Kay and Harry Strauss are raising poultry; the name of Gene McCoy, dancer, glitters on Broadway’s Great White Way; Roy Cohen earns his bread and butter by invocations to the muses; Mary Cobb is quite the most popular deb in town: Frances Durrette, famous soprano, is touring Europe with Jane Howell, her accompanist; Martha Chapman is a sob sister on the Xnv York Times: Ruth Gibson (believe it or not) is a prim school inarm in a little red school house; Sara Patton manages a menagerie. Before and after the game music was furnished by the Police Band, directed by Bert Best. I looked over the members of this organization I espied ! ehind the big bass drum the smiling face of John Black, and to his left Garrard Harris and Paul Liles playing on their saxophones. After our return to the hotel we were entertained in the new music room, the beautiful decorations of which, we learned, were designed by our own Sara Helen Hill and Carmelite Howell. There we listened to two radio addresses; the first was given by Caroline Gignilliat, recently returned from Peru. Miss Gignilliat's topic, The Woman’s Suffrage Movement in Peru, was a subject in which she greatly interested herself during l er sojourn in that country. Following this Albert Mills, a candidate for election to the House of Representatives, made a stirring campaign sjwcch. 1 was informed that Kathryn Ivy is running on the same ticket. There followed a musical interlude during which we heard the lovely contralto voice of Catherine Covington accompanied by Mary Wattic Wilson. During the dinner hour we were entertained by Frances Gladden and his orchestra and Mary Virginia Pounds, universally rated the most entertaining comedienne on the air. After dinner the jurors attending the premier of a musical comedy discovered with some surprise that Wilma Dickinson and Anita Tennenbaum were the leaders of the chorus girls. On Sunday the ladies ami gentlemen of the jury visited the church where Gayle Riley fills the ministry. Richard Sexton and Rolwrt Nelson took up the collection while Olive Davis, Dora Alice Henley, Katherine Winters, and Sara Williams, sang in the choir. I also noticed in the congregation Maurine Vaughan and May Montague. That afternoon the jurors cast their votes in favor of a visit to the cinema where the lovely star, Lolita Hodges, was playing. In the news-reel we were shown a number of smart people at a fashionable resort; among these were Alice Buchanan, Sara Hoffman, Weenona Heflin, Rufie Holloway, and Mary Lanier Munds. We also witnessed a demonstration of several labor-saving devices invented by Harold Knah who is indeed an indefatigable worker at that sort of thing. Monday morning I reached the courtroom bright and early—so bright and early, in fact, that I found I had half an hour on niv hands. However. I filled the time in agreeably by chatting with Sally Scott. Sally told me that Betsy Bryant, Kmlvn Colmant, and Madelon Colby were very interested in welfare work; Dorothy Lull is already one of the most famous of Broadway actresses, and Cecelia Baird is an equally renowned authoress; Boh Carlson performs wonders in the banking line; Vennette Herron is a Vassar dean; Olive Moses ami Betty Greagan collaborate in writing song hits; Marion Mayer is wedded to a milionairc and lives in state on Fifth Avenue, New York; Dick Jemison is attempting to break into the movies in Hollywood; Billy Carruthers is a famed coast-lo-coast flier; Caroline Matthews and Mary Anna Barker are doing interesting art work in Paris. Gradually the courtroom filled, as on Saturday, with former Ramsay students. Upon the advent of Judge Harper all conversation ceased, and the trial of Lewis Hunter versus the State was resumed. We listened to a careful cross-examination of state's witnesses. Then came the climax. Mr. Shaw, in his examination of the sheriff brought to light the fact that he had remained upon the Hunter estate five hours supposedly remonstrating with Junior. Upon being asked to account for those hours. Copeland replied that he couldn’t, for he had licen so interested in the fights, that time had just slipped by. After the laughter subsided. Mr. Johnston wound up the case for the defense. He stated that in the first place his client had no intention of wrong-doing. The cock fights hail been tor his private amusement, and when an interested throng gathered, he had not the heart to spoil their pleasure by dismissing them. In the second place his client's action was justified because the sheriff was among the spectators, and by his mere presence and interest seemed to sanction the fights. After this most eloquent plea no question remained in my mind as to the outcome of the case. Surely enough the jury soon returned with the verdict of ’’not guilty” and Junior received the congratulations of the entire Ramsay Class of 33. Kathkkixk Lidk. CLASS HISTORY Out of the dim past, many of us can recall a fleeting glimpse of that morning in September, 1929. when one hundred and three honnic lads and lassies eagerly entered their high school career. Today we can hardly realize that four years have passed, and all too soon we have reached the parting of the ways. It is interesting to note how each of us from the beginning has tried to perform his duties and consequently has had his joys and sorrows, his successes and failures. When we started at Paul Havne we were lowly but happy Freshmen. Do you remember those first session rooms on the third floor: rooms 25, 26. 27, and 28? How we vied with one another to have the most exemption slips! Of course you remcmtier the time that the door of 26 was suddenly shut by a puff of wind and in some manner automatically locked itself. Then resourceful Jack llarj cr climbed gingerly down the fire escape into the office (incidentally frightening Miss Norton) to explain our predicament and to secure aid. It was in this old building that wc began to learn the meaning of true high school spirit ami to realize that usefulness and service arc the joys of life. Thus we began to put forth our best efforts that wc might not fail. After wc l ecamc too discerning to defend our little grammar schools against the attacks of one another, wasn’t it fun to come down from our perches and become really acquainted? Then, at the cud of the first year, what a glorious thrill we had upon hearing that we would l egin the following term in the new Ramsay High School building! Miss Tharpe’s dream about being lost and wandering in a new and beautiful building was to come true at last. As Sophomores we entered Ramsay and were soon busily engaged in forming new clubs, establishing a student government organization and participating in every school activity. It was during this year that wc discovered that Franco I burette could really iug and that Albert—he was lbert Lee Mills then—could talk. Inevitable was it that the pretty, little, black-haired girl should ltc elected our most beautiful today. It is a shame that we don't possess a photograph of Mary Jemison Cobb with these long curls she once wore seemingly for the sake of initiation! Don’t forget in that fateful year Robert Carlson struck to stay iu the upper right-hand corner on the front page of all the feminine hearts. Didn't (lilliert Johnston used to l c bashful? It was our privilege to feel proud of Marion Maver when she was elected our first president. She was one of the insiprations toward our goal of striving for excellence. Anne McKinley has proven herself to be a true actress, and who knows but that some day wc may all gasp with admiration as she appears liehind the footlights! AH these and many others are pillars of Ramsay, and just think! We knew them when-----------. The Junior year passed with hard work and little play for most of us. However, we had great fun as we attended Legion Field to cheer our football team which was developing into a worthy opponent for any senior high school. This year we had our operetta at The Temple with wonderful stage settings. What matters it if the snow did fall upward instead of downward! We at least played to a full house, and you know the size of that auditorium. How delighted we were with our debating team that year and the record they made! Then too. our champion baseball team must not he forgotten. At Ramsay we've always lx en the Seniors. I know I didn't say dignified, hut Mary Virginia Pounds would not permit that. and. you know, she is a prized possession. Too quickly has this last year glided by, and all too soon we have come to the parting of our ways. Now that wc are nearly at the end of our high school career, we look hack with twirdonablc pride at the achievements of many of our classmates. We have lieen well represented in every school activity and organization. What vt have gained during these past four years has become a part of us— a true spirit of loyalty to Ramsay whose principal and instructors have so patiently and wisely guided us. It means much to us to separate from the friends we have made among our teachers and to break up the spirit of comaraderie that has existed among us. The Class of '33 in the future, as in the past, will continue to go on, to strive upward, and to keep ever in mind the class motto, Res noil verba. Martha Chapman PRESIDENT'S MESSACE There arc a few outstanding dates in our lives by which we locate all previous and subsequent events. To-day is one of those outstanding days. But. momentous as the occasion is. it is a beginning not an end. Wc are much like the little girl, who, after returning from Iter first day at school, was asked how much she had learned. Somewhat disillusioned, she replied, 1 did not learn very much; the teacher said I must come back tomorrow. Tomorrow will find us, too. still learning, for education is “an endless growth in wisdom and beauty. Most children meditate on the seeming paradox of adults' speech. When I was a child, nothing puzzled me more than the fact that people called the end of school commencement. The years, however, have brought an understanding of this paradox. Commencement is the beginning of a less sheltered life, in which we shall have the privilege of using the weapons which we have l ccn making in the past four years—weapons of discipline, concentration, industry, and courage. Fellow-classmates, like the comrades of Ulysses, you and I have taken “with a frolic welcome the thunder and the sunshine” of our years at Ramsay—nearly all sunshine they seem as we look back upon them—but now before us are new worlds to explore. Here at Ramsay we have learned the value of dreams when dreams arc translated into action; wc have learned the joy of achievements when achievement seeks the common good. In these new experiences which now challenge, may we continue to dream our dreams, and to achieve with a nobleness of purpose that is two-fold, realzing that we are building not only for ourselves but for Ramsay as well. Armed with courage and faith, may we all, classmates of Nineteen thirty-three, to-day purpose in our hearts to go forth and assume our high responsibility. Marion Mayer WRITTEN IN MARCH The first faint green of the bursting bud, The dewy freshness of the air. The lilting song of a happy bird Herald a spring that is radiantly fair. Martha Matthews. STATISTICS Average Height 5 Feet 4’ Inches Average Weight 116 Pounds Average Age 16 Years When the simple cotter’s daily moil is at an end, then the family around the cheery hearth gathers, and each tells the uncos that he has seen or heard, lint tonight the story telling hour is to lx- devoted to the eager perusal of the Highlander Bulletin which, brought this very afternoon by a messenger, contains details and final results of the Ramsay census. The cotter, surrounded by his eager audience, unfolds the paper and reads: In the year Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Nine a band of lads and lasses nundtering one hundred and three strong set out on the adventurous four-year journey through high school. Each succeeding year new recruits were added to the charter group, while only a few strayed from the fold and pursued their course in other fields. However, when the final goal was at last sighted, there were a hundred and twenty ready to step forward and claim their reward. Fifty-six of this number chose to follow in their course the Arts, spending scores of sleepless nights fighting the Gauls with Caesar or following Aeneas through the dewy shades of Tartara. The Sciences lured thirty-one young adventurers into its pathway, where happy hours were spent performing fascinating experiments and balancing organic equations. Those twenty-six students to whom the business world held attraction set out on a General course and soon turned their attention to commercial topics. The tedium of the journey was lightened and the days made more enjoyable by various outside activities. Clubs of every type furnished diversion for Friday mornings. Whether singing with the McDowell group or listening to some rollicking comedy in a dramatic club, one always found the same fellowship and enjoyment. Six of our class were active members in the band, and two aided the musical development of Ramsay by working in the orchestra. The fiery eloquence of Ramsay orators was early recognized by the showing of the debating teams. Eight won honors for their work in this field. The crowning event of each spring was the annual musical production. Singers, dancers, and funsters numbering forty-one aided in making these shows go over with a colossal bang. Athletics were important factors in adding |M?p” and zest to the journey. Ramsay is indebted to our sixteen football men, six baseball stars, and five basketball players for her esteemed place on the sport calendar. These activities furnished not only entertainment but instruction as well to the eager Ramsayites. After the journey got under way, certain individuals soon began to be identified by various traits and acts. By the time the end of the course was reached every student was acquainted with the characteristic of all and was capable of voting accurately in Ramsay’s Who's Who.” One recognizes immediately by their answers that these graduates arc very discriminating. Why Are Yor Glad You Are in the Class of 33? Two main reasons were given: first, that the Class of 33 was Ramsay’s first graduating class; anti second, the more popular reason, Glad to get through. Who Mas Done Most for Ramsay? Albert Mills’ work in student government, oratorical contest, and bis untiring efforts to put Ramsay on top” won for him first place. Jack Harper ran a close second, receiving praise lor bis excellent showing on the gridiron. Marion Mayer is also to be commended on her loyal support. Who is the Most Handsome? (jillKTt Johnston's Apollonian form and radiant smile easily won first place for him. Many Ramsay co-eds cast their ballots for Hobby Carlson. Poppy” Rogers also was in the race. Who Thinks He Is? Girls, here I come. yep—you’re right. Dick Jemison with his confident air and tango stride easily won this title. Roy Cohen ran a very close second. Who is the Hardest Worker? If you have ever seen Kat Ivey don overalls and get down to work you can easily understand why she won first place. Katherine Lidc is also to he lauded. Who Makes the Most Noise? Anne McKinley won by an overwhelming majority. Aim’s ability to make noise was further proved by her being chosen for the screaming role in a recent play. Alice Scott received quite a few votes and Harold Knab deserves honorable mention for his “loud walking. Who is the Meekest? Jane Howell’s timorous, shirking and submissivcncss gained for her this distinction. Venette Herron’s soft little voice placed her second. Lawrence Bryant was thought by many worthy of this place. Who is the Laziest? That Ramsay students recognize and appreciate Harold Knab’s ability to do things with as little effort as possible was shown by his good standing in the election. Holland Cox would probably have gone far had he not recently been found studying history. Who Wiu. Make the Best Politician? In one voice Ramsay students acclaimed Albert Mills l cst fitted in this capacity. Tucker McKenzie was amply lauded for eloquence in speaking. Lewis Hunter's argumentative ability places him in this list. Who is the Wittiest? First place was ceded to Miles Copeland for his subtle humor and ready replies. Mary Virginia Pounds ran a close second. Who is the Most Sentimental? Catherine Simms’ dreamy eyes and coquettish manner places her first. Lib Daniel’s come hither look gained for her many votes. Garrard Harris was in the race. too. Who is the Bigc.est Gum Chewer? It is generally known that many chewing gtun dealers would have been forced to go out of business had Ruth Gibson not continued to back them up with her trade. Sara Patton has also been an aid to this industry. Who is Ramsay's Best Mali. Roamkr? It was difficult to determine the winner of this place, but we believe Otto Mooney received the greatest numlier of votes. A few others evidently have noticed John Shaw promenading the corridors for he received several votes. Estimate Mrmiif.r op Lead Pencils Ground Up by Ramsayites It has been estimated that if laid end to end the pencils would encircle the globe seven times. The number chewed up over Miss Davis’ Latin tests alone would amount to several shipments. What Are Your Views or Matinees? The general opinion of the student body seems to l� c in favor of either altolishing them or offering a more varied and enjoyable program of entertainment at these sessions. Career You Have Planned The following is an estimate of the number aiming toward each profession: Six carpenters, six doctors, one trolley-track-greaser, twenty constructive loafers, two traveling salesmen, three gangsters’ wives, all the girls to look like Greta Garbo. one dog catcher. What is Your Ilea of Misery? Many suggestions were given for this: among these were eight semesters of Latin, to be all by yourself in the moonlight, studying Carlyle, loss of a football game, two semesters in a certain session room. Favorite Movie Star Mickey Mouse walked off” with most of the votes. Greta Garbo had better look to her laurels. What is Your Idea op Happiness? Martha Bray says. “To lie loved. Francis Gladden seems to think. “Holding my honey's hand a pleasant pastime. Frances Durrette. SENIOR POEM The swallow, young and venturesome. Ready to leave the nest, Streaching his delicate new-found wings. Bursting with joy and zest, Watching rainbow clouds lie sings, The bliss of daring flight, Hopeful and eager, with strength untried. Poised as he gathers his courage to glide Through the warm sunlight. Mounting his spirited charger. His armor gleaming and bright. The young knight sets out on his quest To conquer for the right; Enters the lists, undaunted and bold. His shining lance in hand. Burning to fight for justice and truth. Willing to lay down his life, in youth Dauntless and daring and grand. Now we the Class of '33 Stand at the portals of Life. And on its threshold contemplate Its labor, love, and strife; Cod grant us wings that are valiant and strong To weather every gale. And let our lances prove so sure That, hard-pressed, faith may still endure, And honor, still prevail. Dorothy Lull.

Left to Right W. C. White J. C. Tate Otto Mooney II ask all Ro::ers Loris Bostick Mr. Young FOOTBALL REVIEW Ramsay during the past three years has had a team of which we may he proud. Under the capable leadership of Coach White, the blue-clad teams have advanced steadily from a feeble beginning to the point where they must be recognized as contenders for state honors. In 1930, the first football season at Ramsay, a team was produced which was typical of the school itself at that stage. Members of the squad were all young and inexperienced but determined boys. They had no traditions to follow or alumni to inspire them, hut a fighting spirit prevailed in all games. Although only one game was won that year, much valuable experience and knowledge of football were gained. Thus the loss of six games, the tying of one. and the winning of one had many redeeming features, and the team deserved much credit. In the spring of 1931 it was still permissible to hold spring training among high schools. Many recruits, eager to play the game, came out. am! much good work was accomplished. This season of training ended in a game between two picked teams which will long be remembered for its hard fought excellence. For the second year of Ramsay’s football career, a schedule was provided which tested the metal of the team. For the first time Ramsay broke into the “win column in earnest, winning six, tying one. and losing two. During this season the squad was bolstered by the acquisition of several new recruits plus the experience and added weight of the veterans of one year standing. This squad was distinguished in all its contests by its earnestness and its fighting spirit. For the first time Ramsay entered the lists of city competition in a big way. breaking even by defeating West End, tying Woodlawn and l eing defeated by Knslcy. This season was brought to a close by a disastrous trip to Selma and though the schedule was ended with a defeat it left a strong desire in the minds of the players to redeem themselves next year. With the fall of 1932 came the l cst season enjoyed by a Ramsay football team to date. All lettermen were back and some promising newcomers. All realized the need of putting forth their best efforts and front the first, practice started with vim and vigor. The season opened with a victory over Chilton County, and then moved through various stages to tin-championship of Birmingham. Competition in city prep circles started off very poorly for Ramsay with a tic gained by Knslcy, a team rated weaker than Ramsay at the beginuig of the season. For the first time Ramsay failed to defeat West Fud. being held to a scoreless tie by the light but bard fighting grid warriors from the west side of town. In the next game with Tuscaloosa's famed Black Bears, the Blues, though suffering their only defeat of the season, showed clearly that they were on the up-trail. The fighting spirit, lacking in previous games, was again manifest and the season closed in a pleasing fashion. Woodlawn’s Junior Colonels were defeated in a more decisive manner than the score indicates. Then came the climax of the year for Ramsay. Phillips, rated much stronger than Ramsay, was met and defeated in one of the hardest fought games of the year. The season was closed with a rather easy victory over Selma. Following is a schedule of Ramsay’s most successful year: Ramsay ..................... 27 Ramsay ...................... 6 Ramsay ..................... 13 Ramsay ...................... 6 Ramsay .....................

In the very first season, in 1931. Ramsay won seven of eight scheduled league games. As a representative of the North Central Division, it reached the semi-finals, when the team was defeated l� v llucytown in a hotly contested battle, eight to seven. Men receiving letters for baseball were Hewitt. Bruce, Washburn, Grady. Willett. Msher, Mooney, Tate, (ioldfarb, Chisolm. Rogers, and Bostick. Ramsay entered the same division in 1932. The team won five out � f its six games, tying with Jefferson County for first in the division. In the playoff. Ramsay defeated Jefferson County four to one. Ramsay represented the North Central Division, as before, in the tournament. The first semi-final game, played with Mortimer Jordan, was won by Ramsay eight to seven. In the finals against llucytown (incidentally the team that defeated them in the semi-finals in 1931 , Ramsay got full revenge, routing them by a score of fourteen to four. Lettermen this season were Gooch, Grady (Captain). Anderson. Bruce. Hewitt, Eager. Chisolm. Willett (Alternate Captain). Washburn, Tate, Mooney. Wiley. Rogers and Bostick. By compiling this record of only three defeats in seventeen scheduled league games, Ramsay, in reaching the semi-final of 1931 and in winning the county championship in 1932. may well Ik proud of its team's splendid record.

This league was composed of Phillips. Woodlawn, Enslcy, Simpson West End, and Ramsay. Although the team was green and inexperienced (Ramsay Ixnng composed then of only four semesters) it managed to win seven out of its fifteen games. At the close of the season our team entered the District Tournament and reached the second round where it was eliminated l� y Walker County High. The squad of this initial team was composed of McCracken, Washburn. Grady, Tate, Swindle. Gold fa rb, Fisher. Bruce. Hewitt. McConnell, Willett, and Rogers. In the next season of 1931-32, Ramsay became a charter member of the new B. A. C. Prep League. The team, winning most of its games, met with mere success this season, hut was again eliminated in the District Tournament, this time in the first round by Phillips. This year's squad consisted of Washburn. Grady, Tate, McCracken, Goldfarb, Bruce, Hewitt, McConnell. Willett. Rogers, Bragan, Hinson. Cleage, Gooch, Eager, and Pike. The team during the present season of 1932-33 has won seven out of sixteen games. Some of the men becoming ineligible and others receiving injuries were a drawback from the beginning. Ramsay played good basketball at times, but before any real teamwork could be developed something unforeseen would happen, and the team would again begin to lose The injuries of Captain Thomas Washburn, which he received at Tuscaloosa, put him out f � r the season. This was the final blow as it robbed the team of all experienced guards. The lctterrnen this year were Bragan, Bruce. Cleage. Conway. Goldfarb, Gooch. Grady. Hinson, McConnell. Pike. Washburn, and Estes, manager.
