From planning pages and taking pictures to looking at the finished product has been a long grind. Q J Q . , y Expenses have kept us in a worried state of mind all year. But thanks to the hard work and de- termination of our business manager and the invaluable counsel and advice of our sponsor, Mrs. Cook, we've Worked on a sound financial program with a great deal of success. You can imagine our near hysteria when we discovered the total cost of our annual to- be 53,300. Of this, 51,400 had been raised through subscription, leaving us 51,900 to raise by assessments, by advertising, and by cutting corners. As a last resort we gave up our plans for a padded cover, colored ink, and fancy paper. XV e even had to go so far as to refuse Dean his allotment for cigars, cigarettes, and pipe tobacco, and We had to cut off Rosenthal's allowance for bubble gum. Boy, what they said! So, among other things, if your picture isn't quite so handsome as you think it should be, vve're sorry, We just couldn't afford to take it more than once or twice. XVC, thc staff, feel that it was a noble and Worthwhile sacrifice when we voluntarily gave up the fifty cent an hour daily wage that we had included in our original 53,300 budget. Even with more than our share of problems and worries we've found a great deal of pleasure in pub- lishiug this, the l947 volume of the Archives.

Benson Principal Mr. Benson has returned after several years in the Navy, and Smith-Cotton has welcomed him with one of those good years which stand out in the history of a school. . The greatest good in any school year cannot be measured in dollars, or loving cups, or champion- ships, or similar material standardsg it can only be measured by that intangible, yet vital, force-school spirit. School spirit? lt cannot be defined in so many words, but it conveys a mutitude of thoughts. The rcspcct and sincerity with which we give our school pledgeg our pep at a game and our attentionidur- ing an assemblyg the courtesy we show our teachers and guests, the enthusiasm and boundless energy with which we enter into each new activity-all these are but phases of that loyalty which is our gift to Smith-Cotton. Hail Alma Mater has truly brought a glow to our hearts in this outstanding year under the guid- ancc of Mr. Benson.

We stand with our diplomas in hand and look to the future and what it holds for 'll each of us. We have confidence in this future, because Smith-Cotton has given us that possession of which we cannot be deprived, education. Our high school days are over. For five years we have sung Hail Alma Mater and dreamed of the day when we would graduate from Smith-Cotton. Now that day is here. We have completed our studies, li T made lasting friendships, gained many noble qualities. Now we 4 are leaving the halls of our Alma Mater. Some of us are glad- most are sad. ' The class of '47 has been outstanding in scholarship, music, and speech. Many of our boys that have gone out for football, y, basketball, and track have made records of which Smith-Cotton l . 4 if will always be proud. We have been enthusiastic workers in all school organizations and participated in all school activities. The I M times we didn't win, we had the satisfaction of knowing we had li done the very best we could. l Each of us can be proud of the class with which we were T graduated. We will never forget Smith-Cotton and we hope T - Sponsors she will never forget us.

Every junior seemed to put forth his every effort, with this attitude we came out Winners. Second, We competed in the P. T. A. membership drive, of course, we won. VVe not only showed our pep in contests. but also at the football and basketball games. XVe proudly had two-'fifths ownership in the cheer leaders QMilburn and Scrutonj. 1'Till the End of Time was the namc of the show we sponsored. lt seemed that we would be selling tickets till the end of time , for our sponsors just couldnlt seem to find enough tickets for us. lt was rumored that Miss Swearingcn was tearing up some of her test papers so Miss Sanders could type them for tickets. The sale turned out to be one of the biggest sales the junior class has ever had. Our Iunior-Senior Prom, which all of us worked on so desperately, was a great success. lt was an impressive affair which everyone seemed to enjoy immensely. ln summing up this years Work We can proudly say that with the aid and advice of our grand sponsors, Miss Swear- ingen and Miss Sanders, we have l'Pushed and pulled for miss Sanders Miss gweargngen Smith-Cotton with cheer on cheerf: Sponsors KCI- K g., , 3 'Q fm Q Page 36 Ccraldine E Iohn Ada iXVaync B oblg Mary lane Bill Ange Anna l Bill .

We are lazy and undependable we lust don t know what work is- and all we think about are dates and parties and related what not Mind you this 1S yust what Ive heard-but I dont believe a word of it. In fact I have become so incensed about the matter that I have polished my sword and donned my armor in preparation for battle I hereby endeavor to describe in all their glory certain characteristics of the life of the average Smith Cottonite Most of you know that our classes begin at nine oclock but you also know if you will stop to remember your own student days that the real work begins anywhere from five minutes to half-an-hour earlier when a last minute attempt is made to fathom the mysteries of yesterdays math assignment. This takes place in our auditorium where despairing wails pierce the quiet GQ and little kiddies beat on their friends in an effort to secure an elusive bit of knowledge The bell rings mainly because its inevitable. Nobody in the auditorium ever actually hears it ring but all at once everyone begins milling around with an air of bewilderment Thus begins our day All this may appear extremely uncivilized to the innocent on-lookeri He sees only the surface of our life the unconcern and apparent empty-headedness of the typical student. What he sees does not parti- cularly please him and he becomes the carrier of the rumors I mentioned before. Those rumors are false. Of course there ar always exceptions but taken collectively we re a thought- ful group of citizens. We realize that school is our work and that gaining an education is our objectix e. Our only fault that I can see is our youth-and we consider that an advantage. We have young ideas 'TU an were working for the knowledge we need to make our dreams come true. Our schoolwork is a matter of importance -to us and we do take it seriously. The stranger who sees the prelude to a school day should stay and attend a class if he wants a true picture. He should realize e genuine interest we take. in the problems of to Iay and in the wisdom of yesterday. The fact that we re in school at all should mean something to him. Someday high school education wi doubtless be compulsory but it isnt yet. We re here because we want to be. Were here because an education means something to us-it means the key to the life we want for ourselves and for our children. ' ' Whew! I almost let my trusty sword run away with me but I have sheathed it now. B fore the smoke of battle completely clears away I have a final plea to make. Don't criticize us too much. You know that we are in the process of growing up, and that certain allowances must be made for our incapacities, be they mental or otherwise. We may act like madmen now, but after all, we are America's future. Page 64 . ed. I find I heard it. : dates and ,ford of it. lonned my aracteristics fill stop to nalf-an-hour ment.

We're glad to see you on this page. Custodes was just reorganized this year, but it's an old school organivation. Custodes Lampadis .means Guardians of the Lamp. There's really ta lot of tradition behind our club, as A, the name implies. We Custodians are really a solid sending bunch. We've got members from the freshman class on up to the senior class. It's really quite a democratic organization. Bob Hogan is the consul. At the beginning of the year he thought consul meant dictator. We had to tell him. A. I. Campbell is tribune, Catherine Brown is censor, and Ioann Summers is quaestor. The other officers are the aediles. They're a program committee. Bob Van Horn, Delta Dun- kin, Betty Brown, and .Margaret Hampson are cn it. They have given us really solid programs during the year. QI-Except the one that we had to put the ice cream in the oven before it was soft enough to eat.j Miss Ott is the sponsor. She wrote the senior assembly we presented. Cecil Monsees played Cupid. Our dream is a Roman banquet at the end of the year. In a Roman banquet you eat lying down. Occasionally we dress up in togas and you can't teli us from the old Romans. We're like them in a lot of ways, too. We never have a meeting without food. Next year we're looking forward to lots of new members and lots more good times. Vale. QThat means so longj.

On December l8, l946, our school newspaper, The Tiger Times, made its first appearance in several years, on the newsstands of Smith-Cotton. Since then it has become the most looked forward to event of the month in Smith-Cotton. Every student waits with baited breath for the new issue. Ah, the thrill of seeing one's name in print! HThe 'iThe Tiger Times, made its first appearance in month, despite the fact that the staff finish most of the articles justqbefore press time. We read The Tiger Times to catch up on all the big events in Smith-Cotton: the great athletic victories, the dances and parties, the reviews of our assemblies, the honors awarded our students, the activities of clubs and organizations, and the latest gossip, scandal, and dirt in Kilroy's Kolum. Of course, we would all be crude kiddies, if it weren't for the careful guidance we receive inthe Culture Corner.. Much of the success of this newspaper is due to the skillful editors, Ierry luchs and G. B. Thompson. The divisions of the hard working staff are: news, Louise Raskin, Betty Wisdom, feature, Ieanne Handley, Margaret Liming, sports, Bud Klink, lim Egbert, Fred Lyons, art, Carolyn Collins, Wayne Rucker, humor, Mary Francis Borne, make up, lean Callis, advertising, Lila Morris, Bob Hogan, circulation, Barbara Haggard, typist, Dottie Garrett, Bettye Ellsworth, Nola VVitte, Eva Ann McNeel, reporters, Iolm Brown, Beverly Haggard, Sibyl Shy, Io Ann Merriott, Betty Bradley, Milton Chamber- lin, and Iames Iolmson.

The Tigers were at a disadvantage since school was started late and they had had just a little over a week's practice while Kemper had had about four week's practice. Cal Rodgers scored the Tiger's lone touchdown. The kick for the extra point failed which led ,to the Tigers' defeat. Sedalia-Marshall October 1 The Tigers, still suffering from lack of practice, met the Marshall Owls at Marshall and were defeated by the score of 13 to 7. Cal Rodgers broke loose to score the Tigers' touchdown. The Owls were trailing 7-0 at the half, but they came back in the second half half with a strong passing attack which led to the Tigers' second defeat of the year. , A . Sedalia- St. Peters October 4 The Bengals won their first game of the year at the expense of the St. Peters High School. The Tigers opened their attack early and trounced the Saints 19 to 0. Q Rodgers and Mickens of the Tigers each crossed pay-dirt once. Dave Miller, end, who was shifted to the backfield, crashed over for the other touchdown. Cal Rodgers booted the extra point. Sedalia-Hannibal October 18 Smith-Cotton played its first conference game of the season with the Hannibal Pirates at Hannibal. The Tigers entered this game as the underdog but finished up on the long end of the score which was Z0 to 6. As Coach Dow put it, our boys went out there and ran all over Hannibal. Rodgers and Mickens, the touchdown twins of the Tigers, tallied the three touchdowns. The line turned in a fine performance as they held the Pirates in check all through the game.

Exactly three minutes later, Cal Rodgers rounded Hickman's right end for a tally to give Smith-Cotton an almost unbelievable 14-12 victory before more than 500 fans at the Hickman Stadium. Rodgers counted the first touchdown and Mickens crashed the center of the line for the extra point. Rodgers played tag with the northern sidelines as he rounded end to score his second touchdown of the game. Mickens again tallied the extra point. Sedaliafs line played a brilliant game. 1 Sedalia-Iefferson City , 7 A November .1 The Ieff City lays were dealt their most humiliating defeat of the year by the Smith-Cotton Tigers with the score of 31-Z. The game was played on a very wet and muddy field, but this didn't stop the Tigers. Cal Rodgers tallied three touchdowns and Harold Mickens bucked the line for the other two. The Iays got their lone two points on a safety. ' Rodgers made a nice play on the last touchdownof the game when he intercepted one of the Iay's aerials and sped fifteen yards to touchdown. t . I Sedalia-Kirksville November 8 , The Tigers, leading the conference, went after their fourth straight conference victory and swamp- ed Kirksville 44 to 7. Sedalia-M. NI. A. 4 November 15 A Homecoming Despite a drizzling rain and a muddy field the Tigers won the Central Missouri Conference foot- ball crown as they defeated a tough Missouri Military Academy aggregation by the score of Z0-6. Harold Mickens and Cal Rodgers each scored once, and Frank Potts, sophomore tailback tallied the last touch- down on a run as he skirted left to hit paydirt. Mickens crashed the line for both extra points. In this, the first post-war year for the conference, the Tigers were undefeated in conference play. Page 93 Mark Bergman Center Senior Mark, lanky 6' 4 pivot man of the Tigers was valuable to the Tigers because of his height and be- cause of his lefthand- edness by which he made several points. Bud Thomas Guard Senior Bud was easily the outstanding player in the conference be- cause of his sparkling team play and accur- acy at the basket. Jim Egbert Center Senior Big Jim playing his last season with Smith-Cotton finished in a blaze of glory by making the confer- ence all-stars. Harold Mickens Center Senior Although Mick was a substitute at the first of the year, he soon worked himself up to a starting berth where he proved to be a very valuable re- bound man. Bud Klink Guard Senior Although the smallest member of the squad, Scooter could be counted on to come through in the pinch- es. Page 94 Ralph Waters Forward Junior Playing with the starting quintet, 'Rufe' distinguished himself as being a good re- bounder at both back- boards. Pete Brown Junior Forward A member of the starting five, Pete was constantly setting up plays to help his team mates score. Bob Tipton Forward Sophomore Only a sophomore Bob saw a lot of action with the first string this year. He was a well-balanced player who will star for the Tigers for two more years. Ralph Walker Guard Freshman Because of illness, Ralph was forced to miss the last eight games of the season, but when he played, he could always be counted on to play a type of ball the coaches admired.

SUBREGIONAL and REeloNAL TOURNAMENT Despite aklast quarter rally by the Smith-Cotton Tigers, they were edged out 44 to 43 in the semi-finals of the regional tournament by Versailles who later went on to win Znd place in the state. The Bengals advanced to the regional by winning the subregional at Marshall. The Tigers won four straight games at Marshall to win first place. They swamped Napton, 50-24, and Slater, 58-17, in the first two rounds and then defeated Kemper Miitary Academy in the semi-finals by a score of 44 to 25.

There would have been wonderful football shots, too, but we suffered from adverse circumstances. Those infamous flood-lights would not co- operate. Each heroic advance and each hard-won touchdown, when transferred to film, became the loveliest blur! CIt's possible that our championship action was too much to contend withj. All season we prayed for an afternoon game-just one afterncon game, please! If you'll remember, we got our wish. Our photographer blithely wended his merry way to Liberty -Park with all the paraphenalia ad- herent to his profession. It was a beautiful day-for a duck. Our boys waded for touchdown after touchdown but all the poor camera got was a flooded shutter. Erna, our able photography editor, was there too, galloping to and fro, but she suffered ignominious defeat at the hands of the first raindrop. Do you blame her? A There was such a thing as a track team too, but our deadline preceded the season, and those lazy weaklings just would not get out and pole-vault into the nearest snowdrift-not even for the glory of their annual would they make the sacrifice! So here it is-our athletic snapshot page. We hope you like it.

They are Big lim Egbert, veteran 200 pound shotputter, and Cal Rodgers who tosses the discus and also is a shotputter. The other two lettermen are Pete Brown and Dick Dean who both run the century and the 220.

Another one, hername is Snell, Most of us like 'her real well. Because Bob Wild helps us yell, Our pep assemblies never smell. And then we have our Stubby dear, With him around we give a cheer. Of Cousley I have naught to say, For she has said one must not play. Mr. Benson in his office sits. It is from him we get permits. Miss Gray was swell, you see, From her welearned our history.
