THE NINTH GRADE OFFICERS Lillian Tolbert President Jimmy Broadwater Jo BOOHER Secretary and Treasurer TOMMY WlTT The Ninth Grade Class of this year has portrayed a picture of what we may expect of our future school years. The class, under the supervision of Miss Miller and Mr. Dotson, has had its full share in the various school activities. The girls of the class presented an assembly program, “The Ghost in the Green Gown,” which showed much talent in the field of acting. The boys, however, were not to be outdone, and they gave a side-splitting presentation, “Jimmy’s Little Sister.” The athletic ability of the class has been shown on the gridiron by John Stone and John Allen Beverly, and on the basketball court by Peggy Pennington, Charlsie Carter, and John Stone. The class entered both a boys’ and girls’ team in the Class Basketball Tournament; the boys’ team won over the eighth grade in the finals. The class is well represented in the band with more than one-third of the class taking part in this activity. Three members of the class were elected to positions on the annual staff; they were Charlsie Carter as Girls’ Athletic Editor, and Jimmy Broadwater and Lillian Tolbert as Ninth Grade Representatives. THE EIGHTH GRADE President KENNETH TILLEY Secretary JlM McCRARY The Eighth Grade of 1939-40, being one of the largest classes of Big Stone Gap High School, has shown that it is very capable of fulfilling the duties that will devolve upon it in years to come. Eighth Grade girls have entered almost all school activities. Some of these are band, dramatics, glee club. Girl Scouts, and basketball. The girls won the class basketball tournament for 1939-40, show- ing that they have the will as well as the ability to conquer. The girls wish this opportunity to say that they will do their best to fulfill some of the duties left by the Seniors; this they know will be their hardest task. The boys, as well as the girls, have shown that they, too, are capable of fulfilling some of the duties left by the departing Seniors. Their ability has been demonstrated by their participation in football, basketball, band, and dramatics. The boys were not as fortunate as the girls in the class basketball tournament; they were defeated by a small margin by the ninth grade. The boys of the eighth grade hope to increase in knowledge and fulfill their duties to the best of their abilities.
