Taking advantage of the last pretty days of the season. Sis Brownlee takes some students for a ride in her convertible. These carefree riders are Ted Hutchins, Maggie Kelso, Jeane Cope, Jimmy Milani, Al Harvey, Wayne Cronan, Sammy Steele, and Sis. The Christmas holidays, with their many activities, are always welcome. The last day of school before the holidays climaxes the excitement of football season, the Carnival, the Christmas play, and all the many other events. Here we see Jewell Kirby and Vernita Coleman trimming the Christmas tree. 2 Holidays over, we suddenly realize that there is not much time left to cram for exams. This is not an unusual scene at this time of the year. In this picture we see Bob Harriss, John Seamens, Judy Towle, and Molly Brown studying in the library. . . . And suddenly it's spring! The Seniors begin looking toward the future, and a young man's fancy turns to what the girls have been thinking about all year long. 3 Here we see Mr. Bridoe Mrs. Lancaster, Mr. Turner, and Mrs. Rhodes in a discusion at a faculty meeting. 4 MR.

The Bulldogs opened their season by sneaking past arch-rival Farragut 12-6. A last-minute touchdown enabled Bearden to pull this one out of the fire. Bearden continued their undefeated march by nipping Powell 6-2. For the second straight time, the Bulldogs had to come from behind to win. Due to a host of penalties, Bearden dropped their third game. East came from behind this time to upset the Bulldogs 21-6. Bearden snapped back into the winner's circle by trouncing Rule 19-13. The Bulldogs released their fleet back to build up a substantial lead before Rule came back to make it closer. This is the first time in our history that Bearden has ever defeated Rule. In the next two games, Bearden showed form before bowing. Central delivered the first loss 32-7, then Fulton swamped us 39-12. Bearden snapped the losing streak by edging Halls High 14-12. The Bulldogs built up a 14-0 halftime lead before the Red Devils made their bid. South stunned Bearden in the next game by smashing our battered forces 26-8. The Bulldogs played a smashing game, but the Class A leaders triumphed. The season ended perfectly for the Bulldogs, as they defeated West High 20-14. Bearden enjoyed a free-scoring third quarter as they widened the lead before West made a game of it. Karns was too outclassed to offer the Bulldogs any opposition in the last game of the season. Bearden ran up a 36-0 score. Outstanding players for Bearden throughout the season were John Morgan, Jim Gamble, Sam Steele, Bob Harriss, John Seamens, Sam Slusser, C. T. Cozart, Howard Owens, Tom Baker, Lewey Guy, Dewey Guy, Dave Anderton, John Parsons, Dave Harriss, Dave Woods, Chuck Coughlen, Ted Sines, and David Hale.

BULLDOGS ON THE HARDWOOD The 1956-57 Bulldogs of Bearden High have come a long way since the first days of training by Mr. Ralph Patterson. The Bulldogs have shown much improvement, under the able coaching of Mr. Patterson, since 1954 and have ended their season with a record of four wins and six losses. The Bulldogs were able to accomplish one of their victories by beating Central High, one of the largest schools in Knox County. This is the first season the Bulldogs have ever beaten Central in any sport. The Bulldogs are looking forward to the coming of the Sixth District Tournament and they hope to journey on to the State Tournament. 52 1956 BEARDEN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Sopt. 7—Bearden 12, Farragut 6.

DRAMATICS CLUB Bouquets to the Dramatics Club members who were .always willing to do the work behind the scenes while working their way up to the title of Thespian. Members who were in the speech classes will probably never understand why they had to learn all those stage terms in order to be just a curtain puller. Nor will they forget the basketball games and afternoons at Seal's Drug Store sacrificed for play practice in order to get that one line perfect. They were in charge of the traditional Christmas program presented by the speech departments, and they helped stage Arsenic and Old Lace for the Thespian Club. Row ono: Bob Harris , president.

TRI-H l-Y There has been quite a bit of talk this year about the wonderful work of our newly-organized Tri-Hi-Y Club has been doing. The delegates to the summer camp in Blue Ridge, North Carolina returned ready to organize a club. Each girl spent quite a few Saturdays selling popcorn throughout the community in order to buy equipment for our school. At Christmas they brightened the lives of a family of eight by sending them gifts and a Bible. Delegates went to Oak Ridge where Gradye Lee Jacques was elected secretary of the East Tennessee Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Convention. They have made many contributions this year to our community and World Service. Representatives from the Bearden Tri-Hi-Y Chapter will go to Nashville in the spring to attend Youth in Government. 81 Row one: Carolyn Huffstetler, Jenny Sharp, Edgar Evand, Pete Stewart, Danny Carhart, Arthur Moore, Terrill Bird, and Mr. Bridges, sponsor.

There is always a mad rush for the lunch room; and why not, because the students know there is a fine selection of food waiting for them. Not only do they cook, but they also keep the kitchen spic and span. And who keeps the building so neat? Why the custodians, of course. They really give us something to be proud of. We appreciate the work they are doing.

Each high school in the county elects a boy or girl delegate from each class. These four delegates are then sent to the county offices to learn how the county government is run. BOYS' STATE Volunteer Boys' State is a movement set up by the American Legion to develop in young men the responsibility of leadership, the advantages of citizenship, and the art of clean sportsmanship. One junior boy is picked from his class by his classmastes and his teachers to attend. This year Volunteer Boys' State was held June 11-18 at Castle Heights Military Academy. Around 400 boys from all over the state attended. The delegates par-ticipted in such activities as mythical city, county, and state affairs, military drill, and all types of athletics. GIRLS' STATE Girls' State is an organization sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. This organization enables girls to learn and understand more about government, as well as have a good time. The girls are divided into imaginary cities, counties, and political parties. There are lectures and orientations held each day. The girls form governments within their respective cities, counties, and parties, and in this way learn how the state government is actually run. At the end of the one-week period, the girls are given a test to see how much they have learned. Those eligible are juniors in high school, elected by the faculty and junior class. The P.T.A. sponsors a girl from Bearden each year. BASKETBALL QUEEN This year, for the first time, the basketball team sponsored a Queen. Each class selected two candidates. The Queen was chosen by the number of tickets sold by her for each home game. The Queen and her attendants were presented at the home game on February 19, 1957. Molly Brown, Junior Class.
