Beebe High School - Badger Yearbook (Beebe, AR)

Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1949 volume:

We, the staff of the Badger, bring you this, the second edition of the Beebe High School's yearbook. It is not a perfect annual nor could we hope it to be. We were only your classmates trying to capture some small part of the spirit of Beebe High to preserve for your future pleasure and enjoyment. We beg you to overlook all mistakes in its composition and accept it as our most earnest effort to please you. If it affords only one-hundredth of the pleas- ure we, the staff, have had in its making, we shall feel fully paid for our efforts. -THE BADGER STAFF ADMINISTRATION CLASSES FEATURES ORGANIZATIONS ATHLETICS ADVERTISING Home Economics Cottage ym as m b Administration and Classes W.

To represent our class each year we chose Eucll Adams, Leon Smith, Euell Adams, and Mary Ann Fryar for the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior years respectively, for president. These officers brought credit to our class and they will not lx forgotten for their helpfulness in achieving our goals. As seniors we found it our unquestionable right to edit the yearbook so we set Qur goal to publish a book that anyone would lx happy to claim as his own. The staff was selected with this goal in view, and they began thsir work with a feeling of great honor. We, the senior class of ’49, make no claims of unusual greatness, but we arc sure you will agree when we say that we have played our art in the drama of B.H.S. We hope that you will miss us in years to come e n though' another class takes our place. We will always remember these years of unforgettable ex- periences. As you glance at this book in years to come please keep a place in your memories for the senior class of ’49. Remember When? A. H. Senior Class Officers OMAR K.

Class Will We, the class of 1949, in the town of Beebe, the county of White, and the state of Arkansas. I eing in as good mental condition as usual, and in much l ct ter temper than usual, do hereby make this, our last will and testament, rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills that may have been previously made by us during a period of temporary optimism. Although. I cing as psychologically complex as befits a Senior class, we consist of thirty-five separate and distinct entities, or what have you. we are in such complete accord, thinking alike, and seldom, that the editorial — now. alas, funereal — we will lie used to denote our collective entity throughout this document. And in this manner do we dis| osc of our jhjs- sessions: We give and bequeath. freely and without reser- vations. to the Junior class our good luck and our well-known nerve. It made us what we are today and it should satisfy them. In addition, our privileges and rights as Seniors in the class room and on the campus will revert to them, as well as any notebooks, fountain pens, unfinished lollypops. or unfinished business, including debts contracted while engaged in the business of being a Senior, also any lx ys or girls whom we may have left l chind in our haste. To our good friends, the Sophomore- class, we leave our patience. It will l c found useful as the only means by which they can endure the Juniors. Io the young and unsophisticated Freshmen we leave a map of the school building, so that they will not get lost and roam about in everybody's way look- ing lor their classrooms. We include with this map our little l ook entitled. How to Tell the Teachers. a pamphlet compiled by us after four years of arduous study... The legatees will notice this l ook is not what” to tell the teachers but how . It contains specific information as to which teachers can l e bluff «1. which history teacher is especially fond of Na- poleon, and what questions to ask to make the sci- ence teacher forget the lesson and l c interesting. It will l e noticed that we have left the Freshman class-to-l e nothing. It is l ccausc by that time their self-valuation will have attained such heights that nothing in our possession would l c regarded by them as worthy of their distinction. To our dear old school building itself, we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence and any apples cores, wads of gum, or crumpled notes we may have left alxmi. lo our principal and superintendent we give and l equcath a sense of relief that we have at last l� ccn graduated, pleasant memories of our four years to- gether. and a feeling of pride in any great deeds or noteworthy achievements that our future may con- tain. realizing that such glories — if any — will owe much to their example and counsel. To our teachers, the faculty of the Beel c High school, we hereby give, free from all inheritance. luxury, or income lax. our entire store of knowledge. From them it came and to them it should l c returned, that others may l c l enefited by it as we have l ccn. Along with this knowledge is liequeathed much addi- tional information obtained by original research and contemplation. To next year’s class president we leave — with grave doubts as to his ability to use it — the sten- torian voice of our good president. Mary Ann Fry- ar. which enabled her to overcome all opj osition and to prevent others from knowing opposition existed. Also, we leave her ability to keep on good terms with the faculty and still do as she pleases, in other words, her executive ability. The smaller individual l equeaths are as follows: To the basketball team of next year the privilege of taking the place of our outstanding team. To the undergraduate needing it most, we give Joe Sims’ supply of language, which will enable the recipient to talk more and say less than any other human l eing. Also, to the undergraduate who is most in danger of not passing next year, we bequeath Charlie Olds' store of information, which will make it easy for him to pass any test in any subject, at any time. To the over-ambitious undergraduate — if such there Ikt — we leave the perfect indolence of Roycc Daniel. Some people sit and waste time. Roycc just sits. This indolence, properly used, will insure him against ncrvousc breakdowns resulting from over- study. To the laziest member of the Senior class-to-lxr. we bequeath Ruth Harrison's ambition. If it is com- binet! with the laziness previously mentioned, the result will l e normal activity. To the Junior class we give, reluctantly but of necessity, our mantle of dignity. We realize that the class can never fill it but. since it is expected of them, our advice is Grin and wear it.” Besides these liequcaths. we leave our best wisltcs to any and all who desire tern. Any property or personal posessions of ours that may remain in addition to the items specified we give and l cqucath to the Bccl c Board of F.ducation to use as it sees fit. We can think of nothing that we have forgotten except our old liooks. and we suggest that they be given to the Freshman class, thus saving money which may l c applied either to the teachers' salaries or toward the installation of the special stair- way on which the Freshman class can have their races when the Inrll sounds. Finally, we do hereby name and appoint as the sole executor of this, our last will and testament, our class sponsor, Mr. Vandament. In witness whereof we. the class of 1949. the test- ator. have set our hand anti seal on this sixth day of May in the year of 1949. Old Home Day The great lay had finally rolled around and you should have seen all the fancy dresses and suits and everyone trying to out talk the other. The reason for this gala occasion? Well, you see the Senior class of 1949 is having an Old Home Day” in 1959 and. of course, all the old class was present. There was more excitement for the first thirty minutes than I've seen in the last 10 years put to- gether. After the first greetings were exchanged, everyone was trying to tell everyone else what had l ccn hap- pening to him. RUTH HARRISON and CHARLES EDWARDS were the first I talked to and they were bubbling over with joy because Charles Jr. was cutting his first tooth, and ERMA NEAL was telling everyone that her third husband had finally consented to give her a divorce. LAMOINE BASS and. THELMA HILI. who arc cigarette girls at the Stork Club were run ning around chatting al out the new Broadway hit. BILLY MAX HEFNER was trying to convince LEE LYNCH that he needed two tractors on his farm instead of one and Lee kept saying he didn’t even have one. The startling, sensational, uprising star of radio. GLADA McGIBONEY was present all richly attired in the latest styles and still trying to hook herself a man and this time she picked on the poor, unfor- tunate. BILLY LEMAY. I overheard a very lively conversation between EUELL LYNN ADAMS who is coach at the Univer- sity of Arkansas and JOE SIMS who is coaching the Ricchirds down at Ha en. It seems Joe was trying to explain a new play to Euell Lynn, who was always slow to catch on to anything new. MARY ANN FRYAR, the distinguished owner of the Mademoiselle Fashion Shoppe in Detroit, was there in full force and so was her assistant, who is none other than ALICE MAE HOGGARI). It was pretty hard for HOLLIS ALLEN to get away from the Grande Ole Opera long enough for the reunion and he wouldn't consent to come until WALTER HIGH FILL promised to have everything taken care of. CHARLIE OLDS had just won the title of Rab- bit Catcher , and was pretty elated over it. He had thirty-three of his rabbits with him to show everyone. MARY DEE (FRANTZ) SPENCE it seems, has ! ecn having a little trouble with Kay. and she was sobbing her story to everyone. Irorrowing Kleenex left and right. RUTH ELLEN HARRIS had a hard time get ting away from the Waldorf-Astoria where she is em- ployed as dish washer and she met her old friend BILLY RAY FISHER on the train who is famous for cooking succotash on the diner of the Missouri Pacific. Everyone on the line calls him “The Succo- tash King . ROYCE DANIEL, three times governor of the state of New York is leader of the new progressive party and his motto is “All for one and that one me , he was candidate last year for President and was defeated hv one vote cast hy his campaign man- ager. WILLIE MAE THOMPSON. DON HESTIR. orchestra leader and composer of distinction and his charming wife KATHRYN CAMPBELL, leading soprano of the Cosmopolitan Opera Company arrived around 10 o’clock in their private plane Uuic piloted hy none other than JUNIOR WAYMIRE. While I was standing around I happened to see BUFORI) MOODY, editor of the largest daily paper in the state and except that he had grown a trifle stouter and looked more cheerful than ever, he had not changed one hit since his high school days. Oh yes. he did have printers ink on his face. CHARLES HENRY, the town auctioneer, just now announced that BOBBIE RUTH BASS will serve refreshments since she is proprietor of the delight- ful Old Home Tea Room. Just as we were sitting down to eat JUNIOR OSBORN announced he was going to play us There’s a Ga-Ga Girl in Guatamala . on his violin. He plays very well and just returned from a concert tour of Europe. After the violin solo MILDRED VANPELT had to tell us all about her pet shop and all the queer little pets she has. even she didn’t know the name of some of them. Next LUELLA BRYANT tells how she Inrcame famous in Hollywood. She is a famous movie actress and has acquired a foreign accent. Now she's drop- ped the accent and talking as she used to talk—Often! Then the author of all those delightful short stories. JAMES HALL read one of his stories to us and gave a charming little talk — three hours long. Our attention is calleri hy Lyndell Mosley to the beautiful flowers on the table which were a gift of BETTY JEWEL FIELDS, now the leading florist of the town. Then a prosperous looking young man appears and says he is a Broadway song writer and the au- thor of many popular song hits. It is JOHN PERRY and he played and sang for us three of his composi- tions. After the refreshments a figure rides toward us and he is wearing a stunning uniform and looks very handsome and seems to know it. He stops his horse and we sec it is BOBBY LOUIS LANE who is one of those romantic heroes, a Northwest mounted po- liceman. BOBY BECK has been acting very peculiar and suspicious all day when someone whispered and told me that he was a detective and was carrying a magnifying glass in one pocket and a pair of hand- cuffs in the other. It has been a real delight to sec all our old friends so young and prosperous, so generous with their money and talent. In short, it has been an Old Home Day to be proud of anti the old home folks should be happy to have such celebrities as these for their very own.

AND THERE'S the last of the Adams boys. pointed Bro. who had O'Neal and Johnny before they reached U of A stardom Euell Lynn isn't as good as Johnny, his brother, but he's younger. He's a good boy. . . . BEEBE hasn't lost a game since December and the Badgers have met some strong teams in the state's best basket ball region. We have a good team hut it’s not good enough to play commanding basket ball.” said Bro. whose boys are well-grounded in the fundamentals and can play set for fast-break style. OXFORD and Batesville are like- ly to give the Badgers the most trouble in their quest for the Dis- trict Two championship and a state tourney berth. The district meet is set tor Batesville . . . The all-district team selected by urnament officials is as follows: ans. Batesville; Bubba Burks, itesville; Adams. Beebe: McCurly, xford; Dozier. Batesville. You can relax when some other coach’s team is on the cdurt. says Ambrose (“Bro”) Erwin Erwin’s Beebe Badgers are regarded as one of the state’s best Class A fives Scratch the Beebe Badgers from your list of contenders for the state prep cage championship. They don't nave a chance, kt fact, according to their venerable mentor, Bro Erwin, “Beebe won’t even get through the district tournament. Voicing a frank appraisal of the current situation, in which his re- spected Badgers crowd very notice- ably into the title picture. Bro said last week. We just don’t have the ball club to rate a chance in the state tournament. In fact, I don’t believe we'll get through the dis- trict. Thus, the race-horJe Badgers can be blotted from the scene. Don’t figure them in for a share of the marbles. That is. don’t consider them just like you won’t consider Jonesboro. Oxford. Batesville. Pine Bluff and the rest of Arkansas' best. But you can bet your season ticket that his respectful colleagues P?? kuj Bro's story until the Badgers close their 1949 scorebook. Despite Bro. Erwin's We haven’t got a chance.” the Beebe Badgers are right there in the state tournament. . . Bro. has been up to the big event so many times that he knows better than to get cocky m the ad- vance notices. . . . Beating Oxford yesterday by 20 points proves the Bad- gers are a long ways from being out of it all. JUNIOR BOYS Back row: Carter, Berry, McCulloch and Coach Lane.
