Page 25 HISTORY The fall of ‘33 was bright, and to us it seemed beautiful for we had just started our career in B. T. H. S. This brightness was dimmed as unwelcome showers were poured upon us by our superiors. We soon impressed them, however, with our importance, when we crowned Jean Vaught, queen of the school, and started a precedent which has been followed ever since. At last, after nine months, seemingly long and yet so short, we realized that we had completed one of our five years. In the beginning of our second year, as Freshmen, we realized that it was our turn ‘to duck’’ some of the others much to our joy and satisfaction. We still wonder what Mr. Ladd meant when he talked to us in Latin, but we soon learned about his ‘tea parties” that lasted from one to three hours. During the entire month of December the school was decorated with ladders, paint brushes, buckets, and scaffolding. The highlight of the year was the fire. Picture, if you can, our mad rush from the third floor after we had mistaken the fire bell for the regular class bell. : After three long, peaceful months we found ourselves back again, this time as Sophomores. We went to work in earnest as we realized that we had three more years ahead of us. As Juniors we started out, to prove our importance to everybody, including ourselves. As a beginning, Thomas Ingram, ‘our tallest lad,’’ was elected President of the All Students’ Council. To make this year memorable, several new members, among which are Peggy O'Dell, Frances Henderson, Hazel Wolfe, Raymond Fletcher, Tommy Johnston, Charles Oakley, and Perry New- man, were added to our number. In recognition of our outstanding ability the Juniors were allowed to give a Junior Play. After much debate a mysterious comedy, ‘Murdered Alive,’ was chosen and under the excellent supervision of Mr. Burns, we surprised ourselves and everybody else with our acting. The fall of ‘36 arrived. At last we had reached our goal—we are Seniors —the largest class in the history of our school. The fall term we were fortunate to have Graham Vance, as President of the Senior Class and Ben Sims as President of the All Students’ Council. Our football season will always be remembered. The new stadium was dedicated at the Johnson City game. At this time we celebrated by selling our first printed programs. The highlight of the football season, however, was the winning of the Virginia-Tennessee game for which much credit should be given to Captain “Chess” and his team. We start the second term, gladly and yet reluctantly. We wonder what will be our fate without the help of our teachers, the comradeship of our fellow students, and the beloved walls of Tennessee High.
