All The RECORD ' 1944 CLASS HISTORY-1944 HISTORIAN Although the events which we, my able assistant, Fred Elrod, and I, are about to relate to you are not recorded in any history book, they hold a place of honor in the hearts of the class of '44 and in the history of Young High School. In the year 1940 a group of two hundred and four young, bright, intelligent-looking boys and girls trailed into this institution, eager for a higher and more elaborate education. Shortly after the opening of the school year, just as we had settled down to the serious task of making a good name for our- selves, we had a meeting of the freshman class. The class had at hand some important business-that of electing a sponsor and some class ogicers. We promptly elected Miss Keller our class sponsor because every upper classman seemed to admire her. Because she was really grand and much of the success of the class was due to her guidance and fine leadership, we know now that we made no mistake. After careful consideration we elected Dorothy Pollock our class president, Robert Lee our vice-president, and Bobbie Birchfield our secretary and treasurer. The freshman class showed their approval of Lorine McConkey by electing her Freshman Queen of the May Day Festival. Other students in our class who participated in the'May Day celebration were Alliene Burleson, Pat Burleson, Ruth Moody, and Ada Shepherd Jenkins. Forty-two freshman girls joined the Home-Economics Club, nine joined the Girl Reserves, and twelve became members of the Young High Band. Ruth Moody, Alice Johnson, Frances Williams, Kathryn Meador, Ada Jenkins, Juanita Cooper, Beryl Spurling, and Pat Burleson gave their talents to the Drill Squad, while the Young High Chorus was aided by the voices of Joan Nipper, Dorothy Byrd, Inez Cruze, Danny Lyle, Mary Lou Oliver, and Jessie Galyon. The popularity of Jessie was shown when she was elected president of the Home-Economics Club and social chairman of Girl Reserves. To let the world know that the freshman class was not with- out dramatic ability, Danny Lyle, Pat Burleson, Ethel Hollister, and Jessie Galyon stepped forward. Pat, Ethel, and Jessie displayed their ability in What a Life. In the athletic department the freshman class was very weakly represented as it always is. Bob Harris played on the football team and Raymond Edmunds and Allan Kidd combined their athletic abilities to make a stronger baseball team. The entire school must have liked the freshmen fairly well for two of our number--Bobbie Birchfield, little in statue but big in voice, and Dot Pollock, the little girl with the Northern accent that amused us-were chosen to represent the school as cheerleaders. It is now 1941. We are great-big sophomores. The greenness that was with us in our freshman year has worn off and in its place there is a certain measure of boldness. We yell in the halls, throw waste paper on the Hoors, and chew gum in our classes. Our class officers during the sophomore year were Bobbie Birch- field, president, J. T. Spangler, vice-president, and Raymond Spooky Edmunds, secretary-treasurer. For our sponsor we elected Mr. W. W. Morris. There were nine of the sophomore girls in the Girl Reserves, and Ethel Hollister and Jessie Galyon joined the Speaker's Guild. In the Home Economics Club there were forty-three sophomore girls and thirteen sophomores represented the class in the band. Our class was represented in the field of dramatics by Clara Sharp in Dark House, Pat Burleson, Danny Lyle, and Clara in You Can't Take It With You, and Pat and Clara in The Parade of Fun. This year the class responded to the world of sports by pro- ducing two football players-Gene Huff and Bob Harris. Besides playing baseball this year, Raymond Edmunds was head football manager. Many new students entered our class this year, coming from various junior high and high schools. Twenty-eight Before we knew it, another year had passed away and we were juniors. This year Mrs. York, known to us as Miss Bacon then, won our hearts so completely that we elected her sponsor of the junior class. We thank you, Mrs. York, for your patience and unsurpassed leadership. Our class officers for this year were as follows: Lorine McConkey, president, Danny Lyle, vice-presidentg and .Betty Jane Willis, secretary-treasurer. The Penguin Club received the services of Doris Duggan, Mary Elizabeth Claiborne, Pat Burleson, Jessie Galyon, and Dorothy Murphy. Pat was elected vice-president while Jessie was honored with the office of secretary. Although we did not have a junior play, our class received recognition on the stage. Helen Carroll, Pat Burleson, and Clara Sharp appeared in Sky Road. Stella Blazier, Wayne Ballard, Faye Brown, and Danny Lyle were on the Yellowjacket staff. Ethel Hollister, Pat Burleson, Helen Carroll, Jessie Galyon, June Griffin, and Danny Lyle were admitted to the Thespian Troupe. During this year Helen Carroll won the Ossili Poetry Contest. Lorine McConkey was the junior attendent to Miss Young High School. To the sporting world we gave four football players--Paul Kennedy, Bob Harris, Ed Norton, and Gene Huff. The varsity basketball squad received the services of Raymond Edmunds. We nearly forgot to mention that our class had a skating party and a class party that year. There was also the annual fling-the Junior-Senior Banquet at the S 81 W. At last we are seniors--the only students in the school. We can now make the lower classman sit up and take notice. For our class sponsor we elected Mama Garrett. Our class owes Mrs. Garrett more than we can ever repay. She has taken us through this year in a style that no one else could equal. Again it is time to elect class officers. Danny Lyle was elected president, Gene Huff, vice-president, Jessie Galyon, secretary, and Lorine McConkey, treasurer. Our senior class was not without an eye for beauty. We elected Dorothy Murphy Miss Senior Class. The entire school elected our senior, Jessie Galyon, Miss Young High School. Senior boys who excelled in sports were Paul Kennedy, football captain and voted Most Outstanding Player in East Tennessee, Gene Huf, alternate captain, Tommy Pattison, Danny Lyle, Ed Norton, and Bob Harris. Raymond Edmunds and Gordon Ford played on the basketball team. The girls in white and the boys in nicely pressed suits were the little people who served as ushers during the year. They were Beryl Sperling, Head Usher, Trula Cupp, Mary Elizabeth Claiborne, Alliene Burleson, Betsy Johnson, Mary Lynn Johnson, Geneva Angel, Frances Williams, Bruce Henderson, and Danny Lyle. Wilda Stallings and Jessie Galyon were elected by the band .to be their sponsors. Stella Blazier was made editor of the Yellow- jacket. Betsy Johnson, Kathryn Doss, Bruce Henderson, James Bumgarner, and Fred Furr became members of the newly formed hiking club, the Klutz Family. What senior would welcome the honor of becoming a Com- mencement speaker? This year, in order of their averages, the speakers were Helen LeCoultre, Stella Blazier, Mary Lou Glass, Elizabeth Betsy Johnson, and Lorine McConkey. There were many seniors that took part in the dramatic activi- ties of the school this year, Clara Sharp, Gordon Ford, Trula Cupp, Helen Carroll, Pat Burleson, and Harold Cheek appeared in The Yankee Doodle Minstrel. In the all-student production, One Mad Night, Lorine McConkey, Trula Cupp, Wayne Ballard, and Bill Pattison made their entrance. In the Thespian play, Smilin' Through, the seniors were Betsy Johnson, Jessie Galyon, Bill Patti- son, Gordon Ford, Pat Burleson, Danny Lyle, Wayne Ballard, Mary Elizabeth Claiborne, Beryl Spurling, and Ethel Hollister.
