JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On a bright September morning in the year nineteen hundred forty-two there enrolled in the Big Stone Gap High School a group of thirty seven students knows as the Juniors. 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.
