' - The BLUE WHITE forl944 Volume ASHEVILLE SCHOOL Asheville. Nprtb Carolina F O 11 E W O R D LAST year the School underwent great chang- es. Systems of student waiters and prefects, and other war-time emergency measures were instituted. Events in this country were happening daily that affected the students. Several boys left before the completion of the school year for the armed services. Big changes were the order of the day. This year conditions have become more or less stable. The student was little touched by outside affairs, save for perhaps the absence of ice cream and, occasionally, candy at the School store. J School ran smoothly, carrying on the innovations of the preceding year. True, toward the end of the year a new system of room-study was in- augurated for a trial period, but on the whole, any alterations made were not greatly felt by the student body. Feeling that something good should not be changed merely for the sake of change, we have not departed essentially from last year’s issue. We hope that this decision meets with approval, and that the BLUE AND WHITE gives a true picture of School life. . DEDI C A T I O N I lie Class of 1944 sincerely dedicates this volume of The BLUE AND WHITE to Wilblri D. Puck. in gratitude for his friendship and in appreciation of his untiring efforts in behalf of the School and the Form. (9) .The mountains are soaring With upward look unfailing; Like God's scroll unrolling The mist while clouds are sailing: . . A (Tributr The Class of 1944 feels that it cannot leave without paying tribute, slight though it may be, to those alumni of the School who have dedicated their lives to winning the War. Since September well over a hundred have joined these ranks. 1 lie known total now stands at 462. Eight of these men have died in the line of duty. I o these especially we offer homage, and to their families sincere sympathy. Wc only hope that the courage and strength that they have shown and the sacrifice they have made will give us guidance and inspiration to carry on. ShiU uf ii mi nr RANDOLPH R.

(76) Zukoski C., Mitchell, Roosevelt, Campbell, McLean, Coke SENIOR PRERECTS 1 his year the Prefect system has been continued, although in a some- what modified form. One boy has been assigned to each of four halls, while two were assigned to the other underform corridor. By the end of O J the year one prefect had been drafted, leaving just half the number of last year’s group. I he privileges of the prefects have been reduced from last year, while their responsibilities were increased as a part of this experiment that has now completed its third year. (77) Mr. Kay.

I he squad was built mostly around the returning lettermen from the year before: (92) Coaches Mr. Brooks Mr. Arbogast Captain Manlcv and Charlie Zukoski in the backhcld and Leonard Hendrix and Charles Kistlcr in the line. Bob Chapman and Kenny Rich rounded out the rest of the backfield, while the line, led by Hendrix, included Greiscr and McLean at ends; Finnell and Hendrix at tackles; King, Allen, and Mitchell as guards; Kistler filling the center position. 1 hese first string players were well supported by a hard hitting second team. From the standpoint of the spectator the Spartanburg and the Christ School games were the best. Spartanburg beat a fighting Blue eleven after being outplayed for the whole four periods. At Christ School the game was all Asheville’s, Christ School scoring twice, on a penalty and a long pass. Mr. Arbogast and his co-coach, Mr. Brooks, deserve much praise for nursing a team from a rather weak start to a strong end.

Captain McLean, Hobart Manley at guard, Lowell Prescott at center, Jim Coke and Bob Chapman at forwards, were the first team. I be loss of Prescott after the first half of the season was keenly felt bv the team. Chapman and Coke sparked the offensive punch, while Manley and McLean played good defensive games. The prospects for the next two years are very good, as there was a quite promising second team, which won most of its games this year. Tom Car- ruthers, Dewey Fagerburg, Jim Gault, George Woodward, and Bern is Avery were on this squad and should make a good varsity team next year. Well coached by Mr. Arbogast, the 1944 basketball team turned in a very impressive record of twelve games won and four lost. (96) Basketball R e s u It Canton High C’ 25 A. S. Brevard College 27 A.

Captain Carruthers’ catching was one of the brightest spots of the team’s play, while Anderson’s and Chapman’s pitching was far from poor. Coke, Wel- don, Molster, and Zukoski were the other members of the infield. Cooper, Bob King, Lindner, and Charley King held down the outfield positions. Many of these boys will return next year, and with the experience gained this year will undoubtedly form the nucleus of an excellent team.

Eagleton, David, Mitchell and 1 lendrix were the main dash men, while there was wide competition for the longer distances. Carter, Hendrix, and Finnell shared top honors in the field events, while Boyd ex- celled at hurdling. Cramer, Eagleton, v C Roosevelt and Wiebenson were among the Cl jumpers. All the boys were interested and eager to become proficient track sters and showed it by hard work, although no meets were in sight. (HU) JUNIOR F O O T B A L L Captained by Winfred Ager, the Junior football team, one of the light- est in years, came through in verv good style against much bigger and older V -V JO O V teams. Sweetscr’s running, Johnson’s blocking, Weldon’s plunging, and Nixon’s defensive play all went to make a verv efficient and versatile back- field. The line, led by Ager, opened holes, and put up a stiff resistance in the face of heavier opponents.
