Looking back, we feel that countless hours were spent in planning, worrying, measuring, writing, rewriting, hoping. What we first considered minor details assumed gigantic proportions in our befuddled brains, and we soon learned that nothing was insignificant - every part of our work was, in one way or another, important to the success of this book. We also learned that the position of each of us on the staff was in no way limiting-the business man- ager wrote an article, the senior associate editor helped draw up the advertising section, the advertising man- ager furnished cokes, the class editor took over the snap shot pages, all the boys carried typewriters, all the girls pasted pictures, the editor went crazy, and the sponsor graded English papers. We would find it difficult to answer the question, What was your hardest job? Each new task seemed as bad as, or worse tln, the last - from planning the budget and making the money to cover it, mounting pictures, collecting write-ups Cespecially from the Spizj to our final problem of transfomiing our efforts into tangible material for engraver and printer. On the other hand, our most pleasant job would be easy to choose - that of handing to each of you the finished product. . We wish that we, like other organizations, could systematically list our activities, our achievements, and our aims, but everything we could say is already here in some form. We, the staff, are a cross-section of you, the student body, since our membership represents virtually every organization, every activity, every viewpoint in Smith-Cotton. Our purpose is to give you a permanent record of your life here, that you may always remember not the classes or the homework, but those extras which lent interest and entertain- ment. If we have succeeded in this, then our purpose as a staff has been fulfilled.

I never dare to write as funny as I can. Human face divine. Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman. There's nothing ill can dwell in such a temple. Her angel's face shined bright And made a sunshine in the shady place. Men of few words are the best men. Her face betokened all things dear and good. The mildest manners and the gentlest heart. As merry as the day is long. A face with gladness overspread. Eyes like the deep, blue, boundless heaven. Tresses that wear jewels. Dame Nature gave him comeliness and health. O lovely eyes of azure. Her silver voice is the rich music of a summer bird. AUTUBIUGRAPHY We, the Senior Class, having reached the end of a period of our lives, are seized with the desire to commend to Posterity a record of our achievements, that others may benefit from our progress, take warn- ing from our errors, and be encouraged because we remain undiscouraged .... We blush to admit that in our very early years we made no momentous contribution to VVorld Pro- gress. Our attention was devoted to research and inquiry, as we watched and listened and slowly became acquainted with the wondrous Universe of which we were a part. This was merely our preparation for Life, our First Major Experience came when we were six, and marked our entrance into a New World. Ah, well we remember that First Day of School! Faces that had been familiar became strange, while those we had not known seemed superhumanly peculiar. However, time passed painlessly in those days, and the strangeness wore off. As the years passed, and we became accustomed to the oddities of Education, many new ideas crept into our minds and pigeon-holed themselves for future reference. That is, all except one Idea. It struck with the force of a thunderbolt, and changed the entire course of our existence. This world-shaking discovery was The Opposite Sex. Previously, we had regarded the Boy for the Girly as an infernal object whom we must conscientiously avoid. Now he for shej had become a magnificent being with the power and wisdom of Iupiter for Iunoj the beauty of Adonis for Venusj, the grace of Mer- cury for Dianaj--indeed, this new creature was the summation of all that to our young and innocent minds was desirable--Hah! The next episode in our lives we call Our Entrance into Smith-Cotton for What'sa Matter . . Ya Tired of Livin'? j. Here for five years we have been learning the most primitive law of nature--Self-Pre servation. Here, we have blended our hysterical screams into the general tumult. Here we have slain our share of those underfoot, as we have cultivated the gentle ways of the bull-dozer. And here we have ended the first chapter of our Education. Yes, just the first chapter--the basic training given to us at the expense of society. From here to the end of our lives we shall still be learning, but unless we seek a college education our days in the classroom are over. This twelve-year period is gone irretrievablyg yet strangely, it is never lost. No matter what the future holds, our success and happiness are founded on these twelve years. If wc have the qualities necessary to a well-adjusted life in human society, we have acquired those qualities prior to our graduation from high school. If we have learned that those above us are there for our sakcs, and that it is not for them but for ourselves that we give our respect and co-operation, these years have given us that knowledge. If we have observed the value of dwelling in harmony with others and of subordinating our desires to the desires and needs of the majority, we have learned our most important duty to democracy, and we have learned it in this period. All the lessons of life have been laid before us, and if they have be- come a part of our thinking, then our education has left us educated, and we may look ahead with eager anticipation.

Miss Mila Swearingen bliss Maude Sanders During the past year, the junior Class with its Z50 students inade a record of which we are proud. Although the juniors came out second in the activity drive and the P.'l'.A. drive, we were nosed out by only a small margin. VVC used the delayed action punch in our ticket sale for the picture, uhliracle on 3-lth Street. On the final day of the sale we sold 700 tickets, making a total of ll3Z tickets. This gave ns a prof fit which exceeded the ones of previous years. Seven juniors lettered in football this year. They arc: Bob Shultz, Frank Potts, Bill Kennon, Bill Potter, Bill Ray, Arthur Spraggins, and Larry Vil- nier. Several juniors have also inadc a fine showing in basketball-Bill Rose, Bill Ray, Larry Vihner, and Bob Tipton. And would you look at the National Honor Society! lt consists of nineteen juniors and only nine seniors. It is with high expectations of success that we look forward to our last year in Sinith-Cotton. Gloria Amos Dale Anderson Marlene Arnold Kenneth Anderson Gene Anglin Iames Atkinson Bob Barnes Wm.

VVhy, then, should some very quickly Give up hope for life's successes, Sow their wild oats to the four winds, Throw away their chance for knowledge, Face the unpredictable future And forego the joys of college? With these thoughts pressed deep in We shall, upward try to strive, VVorking toward that higher learning, And a chance for good positions. These are ours for little givingg These are ours for happier living In .the years that lie ahead. -With deepest apologie mind s to Longfellow. -Elcanore Bess Page 45 Page 46 Sophomore Class President ...,o,... ,.

True in our friendships, True to our town, Our Alma Mater We'll not let down. We will remember, Through years that pass, Days in Smith-Cotton, In the freshman class. -Ruth Ann Wareham HIGH SEHUUL DAZE Once upon a time, as all good stories start, our high school days began. The day of orientation brought to our senses a feeling of calmness and peace. After the brief speeches the halls echoed with the patter of many little feet seeking courageously the classrooms in which we would begin our various lessons on Mon- day. Here and there throughout the building small f'Eurekas and cries of elation were heard as the search was rewarded. After our brief encounter we, full of a sense of security and well-being, left the building. The weekend wait did not lessen our confidence. Then it came - the big moment, the first real day in Smith-Cotton. The quiet serenity of the school on Orientation Day was suddenly replaced by an indes- cribable uproar and state of utter confusion. As far as the eye could see there was nothing but people- little people, big people, all shapes and sizes of people. The familiarity with the school which we had known but a few days before became lost in this rushing tide of people. Where is that room? This question lingered uppermost in our minds as we sought our assigned positions. One valiant lad who seemed to have his bearings marched boldly up to a door, opened it with a flourish, and faced with embarrassed confusion an awe-inspiring sight. This room was not filled with little people as it should have beeng this was a class of mighty seniors. Awkwardly he backed out to flounder again through the roaring throng. The routine of a regular day was soon impressed upon the minds of all of us. The rooms no longer roamed the building but remained where they should be. The smoothness and ease of daily work increased in a misleading fashion. lust when we felt assured that all was well came the fateful day of the first Iunior High School Assembly. The freshman scholars, full of self-confidence, knew their way around, and their difficulty in finding their seats was at a minimum. Pity us poor eighth graders as we wandered to and fro trying to find our places. Does the lettering of the rows start at the rear or at the front? Which side was I to sit on? Oh! What to do? Then the faces of those nearby became familar and the problem solved itself. The time-honored rituals of the assembly at Smith-Cotton were observed and another phase of our life in high school had passed. Our junior high life then settled down to a day-by-day affair until we had become firmly established as members of the student body of Smith-Cotton. The next year we were the ones to stand by and laugh at the new students who were initiated into their junior high school daze.

But by and by we gained some poise, VVe gained some honors, too. Smith-Cotton's lively eighth grade class Is honorable and true. We set right out to win renown, We also wanted fame. Mrs. Hausam is our sponsor-- She helped us win a name. We had to have a president As upper-classmen do, So we chose Donald Allcorn -- He's proved a good one, too.

Page 72 RICHARD BRONVN BILL MONSEES President Vice-President SENIOR COUNCIL The Student Councils The Student Council of Smith-Cotton High School is divided into two sections: the Iunior Council, which includes the eighth graders and freshmen, and the Senior Council, which is composed of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The faculty sponsor is Miss Edna Snell. The Student Council is an organization which furthers the policies of the school and expresses the desires of the student body through participation in school government. The student, to be eligible for membership in this organization, must have an average of M in all subjects. The student is then elected to membership in the council by one of the following methods: he or she may be elected home room president, or chosen member-at-large by the respective classes. The Senior Student Council works on a percentage basis, with the upper classmen having the largest representation. The council is composed of fifty per cent seniors, thirty per cent juniors, and twenty pei cent sophomores. The Iunior and Senior Councils have several committees which work on certain problems of the school. These committees take care of matters pertaining to building and campus, safety, tardies, and newcomers. During the year special committees are set up to promote school activities. One of these activities is the Intra-Mural plays, which are given in the school auditorium. The officers for the school year of 1947-1948 are: SENIOR COUNCIL IUNIOR COUNCIL President, Richard Brown President, Bill Wheeler Vice-president, Bill Monsees Vice-president, Ierry Sims Secretary, Beryl Evans Secretary, Evelyn Romig BILL vvHEI3L13R JERRY SIMS Pfesidellt Vice-President JUNIOR COUNCIL Page 73 -M- ' l I W ,,,,,,, SEATED: Ilene Wagner, D'Ete Ferguson, Beryl Evans, Gayle Seruton, Barbara Brimmer, Norma Milburn, Betty Bradley.

The debate tournaments participated in by Sniith-Cotton this year have been held at Springfield, where we carried away third place honors, and at Vililliain Chrisinan High School of Independence.

Twenty-one juniors and seniors of Smith-Cotton High School took the above oath on December 10, 1947, in the senior high school assembly. The faculty had judged them in character, leadership and service, as well as scholarship, to be Worthy of membership in Smith-Cotton Chapter of National Honor Society.

Scholarship demands the development of the desire to be thorough, the creation of the love of accuracy, and the growth of discernment. Wisdom and knowledge are the products of scholarship, and members of National Ilonor Society are urged toward higher standards. Officers for the year 1947-1948 are: First semester, Ruth Ann Yunker, President, Robert Hogan, Vice President, lean Marie Meier, Secretaryg and second semester: Ruth Ann Yunker, president, Cecil Lujin. vice-presidentg Jean Marie Meier, Secretary.

The second is t-o stuff our inenibers full of pop, cider, doughnuts, and cupcakes. The consul for the past year has been Lcroyus Iuths, quacstor, Donna Rae Kncrlg and the censor, Vir- ginia Williaiiis.

The Tiger Times 'l'lie long-suffering, cringing individuals in the picture above compose the newspaper staff. 'l'liesc tire- less workers toiled unceasingly to put out a newspaper now and then. They endured endless questions like this: i'XVhcn'sa newspaper gonna come out? Most of the time the answer was: ldunno or a blank stare. VVC make no excuses. Wclrc proud of our sheet. Cwhenever we managed to publish ith. Xvllll cares if there were so many typographical errors that no one could read it? The noble co-editors were Mary Frances Berne and Bob Hogan. They and the whole staff owe a vote of thanks to Mr. Owens who steered them out of financial and writing difficulties all year. VVe hope the Times will be able to continue next year as the newspaper of Smith-Cotton, XXI' hope many of the staff members will return and especially that Mr. Owens will bear with us again.

The boys had several experienced players, but for the most part the boys were a little green, Early in the season two valuable players, Bob Cahill and VVhitey Bryant, who would have seen a lot of action, were injured and were unable to play the rest of the season. Until the last game, the Tigers were tied for first place with Kemper and M .M .A. lf the Tigers had won their last game with M.M.A. they would have shared the honors of Conference Champions with Kemper, but they were defeated by one touchdown and finished up in second place for the season. The Future Varsity, whose picture appears above, represents the hope of Smith-Cotton. May they re turn to our school the glorious title of Conference Champions of 194849.

And so We arrive at the end of another year and another annual. It Would take some time to analyze my feelings about completing my senior year, but for the completion of this book I have nothing but unrestrained jubilation. The editorship of the Archives was no sinecure fvvord learned in English class and used for Mrs- Cook's benefitj: on the contrary, I can think of few jobs that present such a Well-rounded program of Work, Worry, trial, and tribulation. On the other hand, the compensations were such that I Wouldn't have traded my job for the World. The staff's hard Work Was a blessing-without the contribution of each, your annual would be sadly deficient. The patience and co-operation of the faculty, the Willing assistance of the office staff, and the help so readily given by students not connected With the annual, all com- bined to make pleasant Work of What might otherwise have been drudgery. My sincere thanks to them and to Mrs. Cook, whose efforts and judgment saved us from many a catastrophe. The staff and I hope that each of you enjoys this annual. We hope you like the snapshots and chuckle at the jokes g We hope your picture is good and that it appears often enough to make you happy, We hope We spelled your name right. Your pleasure Was our aim 5 if We succeeded in that, our work was Worthwhile. Ruth Ann Yunker Editor, 1948 Archives Page 126 Autographs Autographs iq, .A A Q w- M , f '.ilx ?'.
