Ramsay High School - Rams Horn Yearbook (Birmingham, AL)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1937 volume:

THE OF 1937 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF RAMSAY HIGH BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA THEME WHAT is sportsmanship? To us at Ramsay sportsmanship is that intangible quality which makes life worth living. Without it we would indeed be lost, for from it there has developed a pride in our school activities. It has become an integral part in our class rooms as well as on the football field. Learning to play fair with each other, with our teachers, and with our opponents has aided us in being good sports in activities out of school. It takes little effort to be a grxxl sport, but what a difference it makes to our school, to our city, to our country! The seniors have chosen sportsmanship as the theme for the Annual of this year. As you turn the pages of tire Yearbook and recall the theme, may you perceive always good sportsmanship in the actions and in the thoughts of your everyday life.

To-day we step up the gangplank and sail aboard our ship. In order to live a joyful] useful life may we use the star of character-education to direct our course. Each of the five points of this star plays an important part in developing our characters and in equipping us better for life’s sea. Use and follow this star to the harbor of success which is wisdom and virtue. During our high school career, we have become quite familiar with the first point of our star co-operation. Willingness to work together for the common interest is indeed one � f the greatest tests of the strength of one’s character. The welfare of our country depends upon the ability of its citizens to recognize the true meaning of this word. Mow can we serve our nation better than bv caring for the welfare of all? May we always let the rules of love and justice control our action. The necessity of world ’co-operation is felt to-day by all races and by all nations. The worthy use of leisure, the second point of our star, makes us realize that the old proverb, “An idle brain is the devil’s workshop. still holds true and even more so. for the rapid rate of progress of the machine gives us more and more leisure. We. who have had the advantage of a secondary education, know the pleasures obtained from books, music, art. active participation in sports, and the joy of creating. The character of the people of a country determines largely its strength. How important it is then that our leisure hours be wisely spent! There is no obstacle too large to overcome if we possess the third point of our star courage. The few frontier men. who made the great American democracy, had it. The courage of youth to-day builds the constructive citizen of the world tomorrow. King Arthur and his knights were courageous because they pursued and defended a cause worthwhile. May we not profit by our study of Burns who unfortunately lacked this quality when it touched his own life? Carlyle tells us that only one whose ideals can stand the most penetrating scrutiny possesses integrity. Thus we come to our fourth point. How wise is the expression. A truthful man is a respected man”! Honor and respect can be gained only by being honest both in private and public life. Social integrity leads people to understand one another better, and where there is understanding, there is no hatred and war. If we are to possess self-respect, we must not only have courage and integrity, but we must seek self-control, the last point of our star. Wordsworth reminds us: A man without self-control Would seek what the degraded soul Unworthily admires. Fellow classmates, may the good in us ever prevail. Seek always the best in others and the l est in us will grow. May our influence always elevate, not degrade, the lives of our friends. Then there will be happy days and nights on the friendly deck of our ship as we meet new people and do new t ,nSs Jim Norman. January, 'y? PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS JUNE Classmates and Friends of Ramsay High School: Harry Elmer Bumes in an address delivered at a meeting of the l a-partmerit of Superintendence of the National Education Ass'n said: We are living in one of the four major transitional periods of the entire history of man on this planet. Only the so-called dawn of history, the break-up of ancient society with the decline of the Roman Empire, and the rise of the modern age after Columbus can compare with our period in the sweeping and thorough transformations to which we are being subjected or to those which stand immediately ahead of us. Truly we are living in a momentous period of the history of the world. Modem invention has been going on with lightning-like rapidity. Technology of production, transportation, and communication has advanced beyond anything previously conceived. We are faced with the possibility of economic abundance and the foundations of peace and justice in the world. Our social thinking, however, has failed to keep pace with our national advancement. In the economic field, we have not provided for a fair distribution of the social income, neither have we successfully checked the manipulations of high finance. In many countries, this has so undermined the capitalistic system that it has called for the intervention of force and fascism. If we in America would escape the dangers which threaten civilization, we must depend upon the education of our youth. This education must deal courageously with the realities of problems of t xlav instead of serving temporarily a decadent system which no longer serves our needs. The real danger in America lies in the reactionary spirit of some of our people who are opposed to reasonable concessions to social right and decency. In short, it is only by an intelligent application of a spirit of unselfishness and cooperation, that’we may escape the dangers of fascism and communism and preserve for us and our posterity the blessings of democracy. Classmates, as we go forth into this chaotic world, may we determine to give our l est in thought and deed toward the adequate solution of the manifold problems which now beset us. Let us not feel that graduation is the completion of our education. Verily it is but the beginning. To those of us who have enjoyed the benefits of a high school training, there comes a re-Sponsibility for intelligent leadership. Let us ever keep before us the ideal of unselfish service. Let us realize that each one of us has an important part to play in this rapidly changing civilization. May we continue to read and to study. Some will continue their education in college or university. To them comes even greater opportunity for leadership and for service. Others will enter directly the world of industry and of business. This likewise affords opportunities for further advancement and enlarged vision. Whatever may be our future careers, let us accept the challenge to intelligent leadership and faithfully and conscientiously strive to make the world a better place in which to live.

So snnnv. so bright, so sublime Can crumble to a heap of ashes Just by a look or a sign. Or tren by a little laugh Harmlessly, jokingly meant; .1 day that becomes a nightmare Might have been happily spent. Merely a few little whispered words. However small they seem. Can turn one's world to a dreary piace When once 'twas a lately dream. Lillian Fowlkes.

WILLIAM “CANNONBALL WHITE Head Coach F x t ball-Baseball WILLIAM RANEY .'Is si si a tit Coach Track-Basket ball ATHLETICS BASEBALL SEASON OF 1936 To start the season off Coach White found that he had the following iettermen: Newman (Capt.). Gooch (Alt. Capt.). Allen. Venable. Slattery. Wilett. Mapper, and Car-penter. Out of eleven scheduled games only four were lost. Three of these were lost by very close scores.

Van Merkestvn. Grass. Mouseal, Howell. Rice. Erben. Bearden. Bruce, and manager. Douglas Stockton. The team and Coach White are to be congratulated on the tine record made during this season. Avery Bruce and Marion Howell are to lx? 1937 captain and alternate cap-taut. respectively. More and greater victories to you, Coach White, and the new 1937 team. (Set Page S2 for Scores) FOOTBALL During a season of ups and downs in one of the hardest schedules ever arranged. Ramsay’s football team had many unusual experiences. Four out-of-town games were scheduled with the Rams winning two of them. Winning only four of the nine games scheduled, the Rams had the worst season ever to be experienced by the school or Coach White. The 9.V team was composed of few lettermen and many new and inexperienced recruits. However, the fine Ramsay spirit was never lost, and the school is eagerly looking forward to the coming season with renewed hopes of maintaining the school’s enviable football record. After losing to West End for the first time in the opening game, the Battling Rams came back strong to defeat the powerful Wale High team at Louisville, Kentucky. This was Ramsay’s first game with that school. Lettermen for the 1930 season were Captain Heyward Allen, captain elect: Vic Costellos, alternate captain elect: Frank Bishop. Robert Hewlett. Jack Fleming. Mike Wesson. Brison Robertson, Ward Jones. Charlie Sanders. Ralph Sibley. George Ward. Jake Levine. Richard Wilett. Julius Grass. John Cooper. Marion Howell. Ed Bryant. Jim Venable. Avery Bruce. Bill Slatterv, and Manager George Plosser. (S V Page H2 for Scores) TRACK Last year, for the first time in the history of Ramsay, the school fostered a track team. The season of 1936 was fairly successful. Ramsay won only one of her dual meets; that being from Phillips. The team had improved so much by the end of the season, that it won third place in the City Meet; West End won first with 35 1-4 points; Woodlawn, second with 35 points: Ramsay, third with 34 3-4 points. With Coach Raney serving his first term as Coach, the Rams tied also two state records. Rams who received letters for this first season were Jimmy Venable, Joe Smith. Charlie Sanders. Jakie Levine. John Brown. Irvin Warner. Ralph Barcliff. Ed Rogers, Mike Wesson. Denny Petras. John Foster. Bob Barney. Bob Seyfried. and Jim Webb, manager. Lettermen who are returning for the 1937 campaign are Jimmy Venable and Charlie Sanders (Co-captains). John Brown. Ralph Barcliff. Ed Rogers, and Bob Seyfried. Along with other recruits, the coming season seems promising. BASKETBALL FOR SEASON OF 1937 Ramsay entered its second basketball season under the supervision of Coach Raney. He put on the court an entirely new team that won five out of eleven scheduled games. Those on the first team were Captain Frank Dominick, Tommy Burns, Robert Hewlett. Jim Lynch. Jimmy Preston, N. C. Newell. Edgar Bearden. Richard W'ilett. and Jack Flemming. The entire squad was composed of these boys and also Tom Kerr. Ed Davidson, Bibb Allen. Tom Jones, Paul Nuckolls. Bill Byrd, Jim Webb, T. J. Gainer, Herman Goldstein. Jack Aland. Doc Wesson. Sam Given. Billy Marx. Billy Riley. Sam Rietta. and Bill Seay, manager. The team played hard at all times and lost some very close games. N. C. Newell and Edgar Bearden were the leading scorers. The Ramsay team compiled 240 points; their opponents, 239. The Blues were defeated by Bessemer in the district playoff. (See for Scores) GOLF Ramsays Golf team, consisting of eight players, is in the midst of a verv promising season. Six games are scheduled for the Turfsters. These include matches with Woodlawn.
