CLASS OFFICERS President HERMAN Giles Secretary and Treasurer JiMMiE BROADWATER SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Tense moments on the football field or in Track, joyful rivalry on the basket- ball court, seconds before a debate, sleepless nights before exams, happy class- room experiences, and little get-togethers .... High school life with all its heartaches and joys has been ours. But this chapter of our youth is closing for us, to be reopened only in memory. Yes, in the quietness of the night while the rain gently falls, we will remember. It isn ' t altogether the grades or books, club meetings or basketball tournaments that have been important to us. Our four years in Big Stone High have meant this to us, but oh, so much more! Laboring in unison for common goals has taught us much. Then, too, the association with teachers who have taken a personal interest in what we do and the formation of friendships with boys and girls of our generation who will be leaders of to- morrow, will help us to remember our high school days. B. S. G. hours are a part of the youth we will always want to re-live and which will become more dear as the years pass. But what of our future lives! We, as Seniors, know that our high school life has only been the prelude to larger and more important experiences. Psy- chologists tell us that too much dreaming is not good. But just as the founders of our great nation dreamed of a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people”, so we must see in the future the self-government of ourselves such that we will be worthy citizens of this heritage. Some will continue their studies in college and some will not, but in whatever capacity we are serving we must hitch our wagon to a star and aspire for better things. Yes, a chapter in our life is being closed, but we can be confident that we will find a better sequel to it in the future.

From the brightest of the bright they selected the officers to enact the drama of the coming but now past year. From the beginning of the year it was the ambition of every Junior in school to make their class the most talked of class in school. Their ambition seems to have been realized for the first time in the eleven years which they have spent in climbing to their position as Juniors. They have been praised as a class in which every member takes part in all class activities. This class, due to their representation in the many school activities, can not be praised as one that takes part in class activities alone. On the football field there were five letter men from this room, Douglass Cochran, L. A. Hill, John Beverly, Marvin Barker, and Andrew Reeder. These same athletes with the exception of Marvin Barker reported for basketball. Peggy Pennington, a star forward for two years, and Rubye DeBord, the little fighting guard, answered the call of Coach Barker for basket- ball girls from the Junior room. The scholastic ability of this class was shown by a fifty per cent enrollment of the class as Beta Club members. Even with a record such as this the Juniors were not content, but gave their talents to the Glee Club, Safety Patrol, and the School Bell Staff, We, the Junior class of ' 42, feel that under the leadership of Miss Lora Dingus that our class has been one of Big Stone Gap High School’s most successful Junior classes and hope that we may be as successful in the coming year as SENIORS. THE TENTH GRADE We realize that the whole is made up of its parts and we feel that the tenth grade is an important part of the whole that constitutes Big Stone Gap High School. We are a large class in number and our scholastic record shows that we have not failed to do our work. As yet we have discovered few geniuses, b ut we have the abilities of the average person. Our class has already learned the necessity of individual attainment and as a consequence the class is represented in each of the fields of the curriculum. In football we are represented by Buddy Carmody, L. C. Coughlin, J. R. Gibson, Charles Grubb, Jimmie Graham, Edwin Hill, Bob Hill, Van Holton, Harry Trent, and Glenn Robinette. We are represented in basketball by three boys and three girls. They are Betty Lou Banner, Louise Vance, Betty Lou Collier, Buddy Carmody, Edwin Hill, and Van Holton. Those receiving letters are Betty Lou Banner, Louise Vance, and Buddy Carmody, We are represented in track by Harry Trent, Edwin Hill, Robert Salley, Kenneth Wells, Bob Hill, Glenn Robinette, and Harry Jones. Several members of our class belong to the band. They are Mildred Simms, Kathleen Callahan, Rosalie Wright, Betty Lou Banner, L. C. Coughlin, William Masters, and Harold Wright. The Tenth grade feels that its past record can be improved and each member is determined to do his utmost so that when our class graduates in 1944, parents, teachers, an friends will be proud of us and hopeful for a future that will be the better for our endeavors.

It was in a way saddening to see the roll of this class change from sixty-two at the beginning of school to forty-nine at the end of the year. In most cases, however, those leaving school had a reasonable excuse for doing so. Bernard King, Phillip Oldashi, and Conley Barker put patriotism before education. Their school careers were thus ended in order that they might take their places in the defense work now in progress all over the nation. Although athletic talent fell a bit short in the ninth grade this year, musical talent was well- represented. Helen Burdette, Jean Wampler, Eula Mae Kelly, Delilah Gilmer, Mary Akens, Mary Ann Kyle. Hazel Saunders. Patsy Petterson, Wilma Sturgill. Betty Ann Body, and Audrey Donaldson offered melody to the Glee Club. On the varsity sports docket there were only two ninth graders listed, Helen Burdette in girls’ basketball and Dewey Stallard in football and basketball. Perhaps so far as specific items and individual personalities go, the 1942 Ninth Grade will leave little to the school as a whole: but to the class it will leave a memory and many influences which even Time cannot erase. Good will, close fellowship, principles of cooperation which come naturally as a result of classroom association, will live with us forever. THE EIGHTH GRADE O wad some Pow’c the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us.” The eighth grade this year began with a membership of sixty-four. We have lost some of our members, however, and at present, the class consists of twenty-nine girls and twenty-three boys. As a group, we are representative of the usual “green horns’’ entering high school. It is rumored, however, that we have to add our grades together at the end of the month in order to pass. This, let us emphasize is merely a rumor. Of course we have had our difficulties in becoming adjusted to high school life, but we hope to become one of the best classes Big Stone Gap High School has yet had, and shall endeavor to contribute much to our school before we leave. The class has made a very good beginning in sports this year. Two of our members. Earnest Jessee and Edward Sizemore, lettered in football. The eighth grade girls contributed their share to basketball: Jo DeBord, Lenoir Jackson, and Peggy Akens went out for the girls basketball team. Della Mae Trent was assistant manager of the team. Our class has the best school spirit of any previous eighth grade. Over ninety-five per cent of the class attended football games regularly and gave its loyal support to the team. The eighth grade also contributed much talent to the band. The following are members: Jerry Potter, Elizabeth Anne DuPre, Beecher Holland, Della Mae Trent, and Murel Blanton. EIGHTH GRADE EIGHTH GRADE SEVENTH GRADE SEVENTH GRADE THE SEVENTH GRADE The seventh grade started school in September with an average membership of forty-five girls and thirty-five boys. Some moved to other communities and others dropped out of school. One of the hopes of the seventh grade this year is that we will make one of the finest groups ever to enter high school. Several of the seventh grade boys are planning to take part in athletics while in high school. The boys of the seventh grade had a good year in basketball, playing fourteen games and only losing three. The tenth grade in the finals of the class tournament defeated us by only four points. The boys who played on the seventh grade team were Arthur King, Roy McCrary, Gordon Potter, Eugene Kilbourne, Harold Gilliam, and Buddy Anderson. The girls team of the seventh grade, due to its size and inexperience, met defeat in their first game of the tournament with the twelfth grade. However, they were victorious in one of the three games that they played with the eighth grade. Two of the pupils of the seventh grade. Bill Kelly and Roy McCrary, were members of the band; many other boys were members of the Boy Scouts. One of the activities of our class was the making of recipe books of sugarless recipes. We watched newspapers and magazines for sugar substitutes and recipes containing little sugar. We put these in notebooks and presented them to our mothers at the close of school. flisfiiiiijijrrimis THE SCHOOL BELL STAFF Editor-in-Chief Assistant Editor Business Manager Assistant Business Manager _ Senior Representative Junior Representative Tenth Grade Representative _ Ninth Grade Representative _ Eighth Grade Representative _ Seventh Grade Representative Girls Athletic Editor Boys Athletic Editor Alumni Editor Sponsors Herman Giles Penelope Noel Jimmy Broadwater Robert Sanders Virginia Belle Honeycutt Winston Giles Claude McConnell Dewey Stallard Jim Roy Noel Buddy Anderson Peggy Pennington Buddy Carmody Bill Holland Miss Dingus and Miss Broadwater BETA CLUB GLEE CLUB , .UBRARY GAP, i RGir lA BAND Mr. John Ray _ Director Freddie Morton l Drum Major Whitney Davis Joseph Boy Bobby Meador Tom Witt Mary Katherine Hamilton Hoyt Moore John Kelly Jean Wampler Marvin Barker Martha Anne Cummings L.

Our negative team was eliminated while the affirmative team gained enough points to qualify as the affirmative representative of the District in the State Tournament at Charlottesville. In the preliminaries at Charlottesville, the Big Stone team in competition with five others was chosen the best affirmative of that group. In the semi-finals our affirmative was declared eligible to enter in the bracket of sixteen for the finals. Here, the Big Stone team, competing with three others, again presented a winning debate and was given the title of the State Championship team. FOOTBALL “We’re little, we ' re few and we’re inexperienced,’’ said Coach Jeter Barker to the twenty-five boys who stood circled around him for the first practice session of the 41-42 football season, “That which we lack in size and numbers we’ll make up in toughness and fitness,’’ he added. From then until the end of the season the practice drills were long and hard. But when a first- string eleven, composed of Hoyt Moore and L. M. Edwards as ends: Dewey Stallard and Andrew Reeder as tackles: Buddy Carmody and Herman Giles as guards: L. A. Hill as center: Cecil Haynes and Daries Jessee as half-backs: John Beverly as fullback: and Douglass Cochran as quarterback, walked on the field to test their skill in the opening game with Pennington Gap, the result of their diligent prepar- ations was very much in evidence. The Buccaneers won their first game and continued to flawless victories until a champ-threatening Coeburn team handed them their first defeat. After this loss the Big Stone gridders went back on the victory road until their last game, in which Appalachia subdued them with a 14-0 score. This left the Buccaneers in third place in the county conference at the end of the season. But the successful work of this peppy eleven did not go unsung. On the All-county team they had two players, Cecil Haynes, halfback and Herman Giles, guard, chosen for first team honors. The All-Southwest choice honored three of the Bucs with a place on the second team. They were L. M. Edwards, end: L. A. Hill, center: and Herman Giles, guard. Despite any All-star selection which was made, the honor which the entire team enjoyed most was the fact that win or lose they were always tops with the local fans and Big Stone supporters. TRACK SCHEDULE FOR 1942 April, 1 1 Honaker Here April, 17 Va. High Here April, 21 Norton Here April, 24 Appalachia Here May. 2 District Track Meet Here May, 8 and 9 State Meet Charlottesville, Va. On November 17, 1941, Mr. Horne called for volunteers for the girls’ basketball team. Of the number who came out the first few days, only twelve were faithful. From these twelve Coach Jeter Barker picked his team which consisted of: Captain Patsy Cambios (guard) Ruth DeBord (guard) Ruby DeBord (guard) Betty Lou Banner (forward) Helen Burdette (forward) The substitutes consisted of: Martha Anne Cummings (forward), Louise Vance (forward), Mary Akens (guard;, Betty Lou Collier (guard), Audrey Donaldson (guard). Hazel Sanders (forward). Although it was a losing battle for the Buccanettes in most of their encounters with superior com- petition, they fought desperately to the end of every game. From this team, which won only three games and tied one, was chosen Patsy Cambios for a coveted position on the All-tournament team. Despite a “Championship Jinx’’ which early eliminated them from both the Wise County Tour- nament and the District Meet at Roanoke, Va., Coach Jeter Barker’s Big Stone Gap Buccaneers hung up their basketball togs this year with the comforting thought that they had the most successful basket- ball season of any team here since 1936. The Buccaneer five started off the 1942 season with a bang, winning their first four games with almost doubled scores. Then they met their first defeat at the hands of Pennington Gap, a Lee County team. Rebounding from this momentary shock, the Bucs went on to win thirteen more consecutive games in the regular seasonal competition. Hoyt Moore, six-foot four-inch center, was high-point man of the year for the Big Stone Cap- pers. He scored 218 points, closely followed by Douglass Cochran who closed with 189. As a team the Buccaneers amassed a total pointage of 787, averaging 35.8 per game. From his squad of ten men. Coach Barker announced the following letter men: Hoyt Moore, Douglass Cochran, Buddy Carmody, Dewey Stallard, L. A. Hill, L. M. Edwards, Andrew Reeder and Manager Jimmie Broadwater.
