L. Rothe. Mrs. Rothe was the first to suggest the idea of a yearbook for Corrigan High School and was faculty adviser to the first Blue Quill staff in 1939. Every edition since that time has been a monument to her patience and hard Work. She Works unselfishly each yeargto help give the students and faculty this record of a year of their lives. Therefore We of the l95U staff, on behalf of all the Blue Quill staffs of the past, are happy to dedicate to her this mid-century edition of the Blue Quill .

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the erection oi the Corrigan High School administration and classroom building. During this time many pupils have passed through its portals to take advantage of increased opportunities in secondary education and have left with diplomas as passports into the busy outside World where they are making significant contributions to a continuation of the American way of lite. With the opening of the 1949-50 school term last September pupils trooped happily back to the local schools for another session with the three R's. Registration and visits to the textbook room are among memorable events on the school calendar. f.-.A.-.-ve.-v-v-Y-v-.-.-.-.-.-v-.-.-.-v-.-v-.-v-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.v.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-v-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.A.-.-.A.-.-.A.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.A.A.-.-.-.-.A.-.-.-v-v-:.-v-.-.-v-v-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.A.A.-.-.-.-v-,-.-,-,-.-cv.-.-.A.-,-.A.-.-.-.-,-,-.A.-.-.-.-.-,-.2 ll' 4f.-.-.-.A--v-------v-------A---f---v-Aff-A--------2-1---f--of--of--A-ve-vA-vA-v-v--------------J f----------:v-v-v-rv----v-:.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-W-,-.AJll' 9 The new Corrigan High School gymnasium is the latest campus addition in the current school building program and was officially dedicated with a colorful ceremony. The modern brick edifice is the realization of a long-time dream of school officials and patrons for adequate provision for the physical development of local high school boys and girls. Elementary school buildings are beehives of interesting activities of 300 pupils. ln addi- tion to acquiring basic knowledge that will enable them to become efficient junior and senior high school pupils, boys and girls in the elementary school engage in a number of significant extra-curricular activities. 10 TU 1 zme Keepers lADMINISTRATIONl Superintendent F. D. Manry and High School Principal C. F. Kuylcendall were efficient administrators ot local school progress throughout the l949-'50 term. Aware of the signi- ficance ot time along the rugged path ot knowledge they endeavored to instill in pupils an appreciation ot the advantages marked by the rotation of hands on the big laces of school clocks in the ottice, main corridor, and study hall. 11 Admz'nz's tration BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. W. F. Edens Mr. E. L. Knox President Secretary-Treasurer I Mr. R. M. Eagle Mr. Roy Crecelius t t 1 l r Mr. E. T. Murphy DI- H- A- Wdll Since members of the local Board of Education have devoted rnuch of their time in promoting the welfare of pupils in the Corrigan Independent School District, the Blue Quill staff dedicates this page to them as an expression of appreciation for their invalu- able services. The new gymnasium, football field, and other examples ol local school progress are timely reminders that these school officials have spared no effort to afford increased opportunities for youths enrolled in the local schools. 12 A dm in is tration SUPERINTENDENT Mr. I-'. D. Manry. Superintendent BS., Sam Houston State Teachers College Graduate Student, University of Texas Superintendent F, D. Manry is completing his third term as the efficient superintendent of local schools. His admin- istration has been marked by both academic and material improvements in the local school system. He is a past presi- dent of the Polk County Teachers Association, is president of the Corrigan Lions Club, and is a director of District One of the Texas State Teachers Association. SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE TO THE STUDENTS: We can, with all sincerity, call the school year 1949-50 a very successful one. We do not contend that we have achieved the ultimate in wisdom and ideals but progress has been made. Neither do we become alarmed when our boys and girls do not immediately reach the goals set for them. God realized it would take time to make a man, or He would not have made us small in mind and statue, growing year by year physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually to maturity, One of the gravest and most regrettable mistakes of man today is to think that he can leave God out of this natural process of growth. My hope for you students is that you do not let this happen to you. This is a time for 'greatness' -great decisions, great hopes, great thoughts. It is a time for you young Americans to plan your future and the future of your country with great care. We must not let the ideal of freedom become so involved that it ceases to exist. The greatest danger to our representative form of government is the use of our most precious heritage, the ballot, to obtain favors not earned. May each of you always be concerned with your personal future and the future of your country. Yours truly, F. D. Manry 13 Adminis tration HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Mr. C. F. Kuykendall, High School Principal B.B.A., Sam Houston State College Mr. Kuykendall's efficient leadership, good teaching, just handling of problems, and keen sense of humor have endeared him to fellow workers and pupils. Although he has many exacting duties, he is never too busy to lend a helping hand. Needless to say, Mr. Kirk's spirit of friendliness shall never be forgotten by those privileged to be associated with him this year. PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Anything worth having is worth working for. Keep that thought in mind always and remember that we get out of life what we put into it. We should never become satisfied with conditions as they are. Instead, we should always strive for something better. It has been a pleasure to teach in the Corrigan High School this year, and I sincerely hope that I have con- tributed something worthwhile to your lives. Best of luck to all! As ever, C. F.

Colors: Green and White F lower: Ivy fljidelityl The mid-century graduating class of Corrigan High School can look back on a happy and busy year filled with varied activities. The main objective of the class was producing the l95U Blue Quill , and all members who had a part in its production Worked diligently toward this goal. The class will never forget the assistance ot all others who helped them. Although the class was busy throughout the term, their last year in high school was not all work and no play, for members enjoyed a number of interesting social activities. The class had a Christmas party in home room the day school was dis- missed for the Christmas holidays. The room was decorated with boughs of holly, and an attractive arrangement of red candles, sprays of pine and silvered cones centered the serving table. At one end of the table was a crystal punch bowl and at the other end was a large white cake, embossed with Seniors, l95U . Seniors had two parties in the band hall. Dancing and games furnished entertainment. Refreshments were cake and punch. One of the most enjoyable entertainments ever given tor local high-school seniors was the Valentine banquet given by the Baptist Women's Missionary Union. A colorful Valentine motit was accented in table appointments, and a delicious chicken dinner with all the trimmin's was served. An interest- ing program was presented and the Reverend Coy Iohn Key, guest speaker, gave an inspiring address. Highlights of good times lor the seniors in March were a Sadie Hawkins Party in the new gymnasium and the junior-senior banquet, one of the most enjoyable ever given tor local high school seniors. Three other outstanding events on the l950 seniors' social calendar were the traditional 'Kids' Day, a 'possum hunt, and a scavenger hunt. As the annual went to press, the seniors were looking forward to being guests at a Press Club Iamboree at Stephen F. Austin State College in May and, above all, to the most significant date on their 1950 calendar- May 18-and COMMENCEMENT! 21 Class Of 1 951 OFFICERS Mary Mullican President Charlene Stanford Secretory Sarah Io Cockrell Vice President Iune Brouddus Reporter Mr. Carter Davis Sponsor Z2 Mrs. C.

Drilled in the fundamentals ot harmony, the band has been a distinct asset in local elementary school progress. Colorful chapel programs, as portrayed above, have been presented by pupils in the elementary grades during the term. Excellent portrayal of roles and unique costumes have characterized each program. 32 AROUND THE HIGH SCHOOL CLOCK WITH CAMPUS REPORTERS On the following pages are pictorial records ol cross sections oi school life during each period of the school day from the time oi the ringing of the first bell for the beginning of classes at eight-thirty in the morning until the sound of the dismissal bell at three- thirty in the afternoon. The staff has attempted-in a limited way-to portray, by word and picture, the drama of school life between the ringing of these bells-the grind of daily chores in the classroom, the hum of projects of various clubs, the whirl of social activities personified by class favorites, typical campus scenes, chapel programs, the marching and playing of the band, the fighting of the Bulldogs on the gridiron and in the gym, and other activities that make a modern high school good proving ground for iuture adult citizens in a democracy, 33 Period I 8:20 - 9:05 CLASSES VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE A thorough study of agriculture is becoming increasingly significant to boys interested in becoming farmers and ranchers in East Texas. Numerous practical projects in agricultural and livestock activities have enabled pupils in the local high school department of agriculture to make excellent prepara- tion for becoming proficient in future endeavors in agriculture and animal husbandry. SOCIAL SCIENCE Living and learning in a democracy is the basis of all work in the social science classes. Through the mediums of American history, world history, civics, and economics, pupils are af- forded opportunities to appreciate the forces of democracy in providing the greatest good for the greatest num- ber. 34 SCIENCE The large enrollment in science classes is an index to the fact that pupils are becoming increasingly aware of the role of science in modern progress. In addition to learning much about scientific theories, pupils taking chemistry and general science helped to perform numerous practical experi- ments that enabled them to gain a good grasp of the influence of science in their environments. Period II 9:05 - 9:50 CLASSES WORLD HISTORY By studying World history pupils are given opportunities to learn and appreciate the struggles of mankind in achieving standards of civilization. Emphasis is placed on the role ot Christianity in strengthening the work of man through the centuries. Bookeeping Pupils taking bookkeeping derived much practical information that will facilitate their work it they choose to enter the business world. GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION The ideal ot physical education, HA strong mind in a strong body, was emphasized by thorough courses in physical education tor TYPING Three classes of typing were conducted to care lor the numerous pupils interested in becoming typists.
