Bearden • • • • 1956 ECHO Published by the Students of £ea14e A £ eke oI K ne x V i Ht, TehiteJJee DEDICATION This year's annual staff dedicates The Echo to Bearden High School as an institution. The reasons for this dedication are many. First of all because Bearden School plays a vital role in fashioning us into men and women of an approved type. Bearden is an average size school in a small town, but it portrays even the largest school in the largest town. There are many things that go into a person's makeup, but the school takes a place of distinction in a person's makeup. Bearden school is a second home for most of us. We are here for long periods of time. Happiness is created in the halls of Bearden; Bearden helps to create worthier thoughts, saner attitudes, and more gracious manners. Bearden sets an atmosphere that encourages students to equip themselves to become capable of taking part in the higher and finer values of civilization and society. Many more reasons could be used as to why we made this dedication, but we hope that these few factors above have explained to you our purpose in dedicating this, our annual, to Bearden High School as an institution.

The Student Council was started at Bearden High five years ago. The purposes then as now are: (1) To give students a voice in school affairs. (2) To promote better student-teachers relations. (3) To encourage leadership abilities in the students. (4) To improve the school in any way possible and to help students as well as teachers solve problems. The Council is made up of one representative from each home-room elected by vote of the students in the class. The qualifications for membership are: (1) The student must have at least a C average. (2) He must have leadership ability. (3) He must have a good behavior record and high moral standards. (4) He must be able to get along with teachers as well as students. (5) He should be interested in improving the school. Each year the Council helps the school in money raising projects as well as in many school activities such as elections. Along with this work the group tries to have at least one main project for betterment of the school'as it's goal.

NEWSPAPER STAFF The Student's Voice has been the school newspaper for years. Looking back, one thinks that some people just got together and started the paper. This is far from true. The problems that faced the first edition of the Student's Voice will not have to be faced again. There has been an uphill fight all the way, and there is still a lot remaining to be done. There will also arise current problems that must be coped with. Many obstacles are facing the paper this year. Quite a few have been done away with. Operation facelift was performed this year . . . Much remains to be done, but the main thing is that it is being done. The paper as a whole has been accepted by the students and we hope the high standards will be maintained as long as there is a Student's Voice. BUSINESS STAFF—First row: Mr .

Any boy or girl with a bonafide interest in any field of science is eligible for admission. Before being admitted, he is voted on by the club. Two of our activities are attending the annual Tennessee Academy of Science, which was held at the Tennessee Polytechnical Institute in Cookeville this year, and entering our individual science projects in the Science Fair. We also have people who are in different fields of science speak at club meetings. In this way we learn more about science and how to prepare to enter this great field. OFFICE MONITORS SCIENCE CLUB Office Monitors are students chosen from the student body in September to be of assistance to Mr. Turner and Mrs. Dunford throughout the year. Their responsibilities in the office are to run errands, answer the phone, type and do other things than can be of any help. There are different monitors each period. For the busier periods, there are as many as three monitors. It is considered a privilege just as well as an honor to be chosen as an office monitor. Senior office monitors are given letters at the end of the year.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA The John Thackston chapter of the Future Teachers of America is one of the most important organizations in Bearden. Throughout the past few years it has helped prepare young people for entering teacher training. This year the club is composed of twenty-four active members who are ably led by Mrs. Ival Aslinger. • The Future Teachers have had several projects this year: they sold candy to raise money for scholarships and they have been in charge of one of the student-managed study halls. They had their annual tea for the teachers during the week that our school was evaluated. It was held at that time in order to entertain the visitors evaluating our school. At the first of the year the Future Teachers took a field trip to Tennessee School for the Deaf. This year one of our members, Margie Helton, held the high office of president of the Regional Future Teachers. The Regional Convention was held March 9 at the University of Tennessee Student Center and since Margie was president, Bearden had a big part in the convention. The Future Teachers have had a very good club this year and have done much to make our school a better one.

It has grown from a small group of about fifteen in 1951 to two groups of forty each, this year. Besides these groups, many students are getting band experience in elementary band classes. The band's main project for last year was to buy new maroon uniforms. With the help of the Bearden Band Builders Club, enough money was raised to purchase fifty new uniforms. This year the band has participated in several down-town parades and has marched at half time and played for the football games. This spring the advanced band will attend the East Tennessee Band Festival in Maryville and will later give a concert and dance for the whole school. Under the direction of Mr. McCall, in the coming years, we hope to have here at Bearden, one of the best bands in Tennessee.

The slow starting Bulldogs just couldn't get up enough steam to come through in the crucial moments, and as a result lost their first nine games. Some by a small margin and others by a more decisive margin. All the games were well played and there is no doubt in anybody's mind that the Bulldogs were out there giving it all they could right down to the last play. The last two games were the ones that the Bulldogs were really thinking about. The reason being, there were against their most bitter rivals. West and Farragut. BEARDEN 7--------WEST 6 This was a very exciting game, with the Bulldogs being in a little better shape and having a greater desire than ever to win. Although the game was studded with penalties, Bearden kept plugging away, only to be thwaited by three great stands by the West line. Finally, after a costly break to West, Bearden went over from the one yard line. The Bulldogs converted and the score stood at 7 to 0. A long pass put West on the Bearden four yard line, and they scored two plays later. A blocked conversion attempt by the hard charging Bulldog line was the tell-tale of the game. A short kick recovered by a Bearden lineman ended the game. But Wait ! ! ! The West Knoxville championship was not yet Bearden's. There was still one more game to go. Farragut sent a determined, fired-up ball club to invade Bearden Field. The want of the Bulldogs was too much for the Admirals though, and Bearden again emerged victorious, this time on the top end of a 20 to 7 score. The Championship was then and is now in the hands of the Bulldogs for the coming year. We could not have put up such a good showing to any of our opposing teams this year with- out the leadership of our two great captains, Don Sentell and Don Cope, who through their desire and ability to play, landed them on the Knox County All-Star first team. Certainly we should tip our hats to these two great fellows and to all the others who composed the team. The seniors who played their last games for Bearden this year also deserve special recognition for their fine work on the field. Jeff Bell, Melvin Blakely, Dennis Ownby, Tom Hubbard, and of course Don Sentell and Don Cope are more than thanked by the student body for helping to represent their school in the important fall sport at Bearden; FOOTBALL.
