Under the able instruction of Mr. Wilby Rice the Glee Club has appeared before the public a number of times. They sang for a Christmas assembly which was recorded for a radio broad- cast. ln February the boys gave a program for the Rotary Club. Two weeks preceding the district contest, Dr. Lynn Hummell, former state supervisor of fine arts, spent a full day with all of the music groups giving them his very able assistance and criticisms in preparation for the contest. The Boys Glee Club will enter the district contest at Cape Girardeau and will assist the mixed chorus in an operetta. Plans are being made for a minstrel show, but as this annual goes to press the plans are still indefinite. -33- The Mixed Chorus directed by Mr Wilby Rice is composed ot thirty ight members The qroup h s participated in the following Attended the Quad State Music Festlval at Murray Kentucky for the econd year Presented the Christmas assembly precedinq the Christmas 'iolidays Entered the district musi contest at Cape Girardeau Missouri Ehnrus First Pow left to rlaht MarqaretK1ndred Laquita LaVelle Sue Powell Helen Fiqqms Second Row Barbara Meyer Anita Howard Ann Drllman Frances Earnhart Claudette Malin Shirley Wattle Shirley Fox Helen Io Hinchey Betty Pierce Third Row Betty Dodd Ioan Meredith Pat Hamby Mary Porter Carolyn Brown Nadine Downing Iacqueline Coker loyce Cook Shirley Medlln Fourth Row I W Fiqqins Gary Proctor Ralph Sawyer Billy lo Claxton Wayne New some David Gaither Emory Williams Carl Lacy Ralph Clayton Bill lohnson Wilby Rice Director 39 e' ' .

Tigers came out on top this year with a second place tie with Cape for the season, even though they had two different coaches. The season was opened by Coach Wilbur Volz, but he was called into the Air Force. Coach Ervin Pitts took over as school started and piloted the Tigers on through nine rough games. Sept. 15. Our Tigers' might was displayed for the first time as Portageville came to the Tigers' field to be swamped 31-12 in a non-conference game. Sept. 22. After an uncalled for defeat at the hands of a small Hayti eleven the previous year, the Tigers went to Hayti to be held scoreless the first half. Opening up with a blast, however, our Tigers scored 27 points that last half to be victorious, 27-O.

C'ville scored 25 points While the Bluejays got only 6. Oct. 27. Poplar Bluff came to C'ville determined to win this game. After a close first half, with the score, 20-19, our Tigers finished victoriously with the long end of a 27-19 score. Nov. 3. We went to Iaclcson for a very cold and very wet game. Due to the ele- ments and the Iackson Football Team, the Tigers managed to secure a tie in the last minutes of the game, 12-12. Nov. 10. Making the long trip from Perryville, the Pirates came to Caruthersville to be defeated 19-O at the Tiger's Homecoming game. Nov. 23. Thanksgiving, the traditional game between Caruthersville and Kennett start- ed with a very strong wind blowing from the North. The weather became very cold late in the game. Kennett scored the first time they got possession of the ball, but Capt. Bostic blocked the all important extra point. About middle way through the second quarter, our Tigers scored and got the extra point. With a scoreless second half, the Tigers came home with a 7-6 victory. season workout.

H. S. Basketball team had a long and hard schedule this year with 14 games. With nine lettermen back this year, big things were expected of the red and White boys. Although they worked hard all seoson, our Tigers were able to secure only a 6-8 record. They lost games they should have won, displaying some excellent basketball in spots. The County Tourney was held, as usual, in the local armory. Caruthersville defeated Holland in our first game, only to be defeated by Cooter in the semi-finals. The Regional Tournament, held at Sikeston, started off very Well for our team as they took Kennett 47-30. Our Tigers had been defeated earlier by the same Kennett team. Playing Poplar Bluff for our second game, we were all taken back when we lost, as We should have Won this game. Doniphan was next on our tournament schedule. The Dons had a very good night and poured through more points than our Tigers, to take third place. The Tigers, with a fourth place rating, finished Coach Harry Darr's fourth season here at Caruthersville. The Tigers will have only one letterman back next year, but if they do as Well as the 1950-51 Tigers, C. H. S. will be pleased with the result.

S. this year. Attendance at the games was good and created greater interest for the players. The intramural program started with basketball. The girls of Coach Darr's junior home room led all the way, easily defeating the winners of the loser's bracket. Competition between the boys was tougher. Hopke's seniors won out in the winning bracket but lost to the winners of the losing bracket, Dunham's seniors. In the play-off Dunham's team won the game and the championship. The winners received cups which will stay in their rooms until they are awarded to next year's tournament winners. the close of the season, all-star teams were chosen from all of the competing home room teams. The girls' team was composed of Betty Elkins, Peggy Moore, Shirley Fox, Imo- gene Wyatt, Delores Kelley, and Elizabeth Fullerton. Chosen on the boys' all-star team were Bob Goodin, Gene Brown, Harold Iones, Bill Claxton, and Freddie Privett. The basketball season was closed with the all-star teams playing the men and wo- men of the faculty in the annual benefit games for the S. A. C. and Cotton Blossom. The volleyball tournament followed the basketball season. The first game, a warm- up for the tournament, was played between the men faculty and the seniors. The faculty won easily, with Coach Darr and Easy Ed Shelton showing the boys how. As the year- book goes to print this tournament is still in progress. Later in the spring, when the weather is better, the tennis tournament will be held. With both of last year's winners, Ierry Bookout and Ioe Hazel, back and gunning for their third straight championship, it looks as if the tournament is going to be a Iirn Dandy.
