Denison High School - Yellow Jacket Yearbook (Denison, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1951 volume:

The 1951 Yellow . . The Annual Staff of Denison High School, which is responsible for putting out the Yellow Jacket, Denison High’s yearbook, plays an important part in recording the history of the school. It is through the newspaper and the annual that the events which occur during the school year are recorded for future reference, but the annual is the most lasting of all the means of recording these events. Therefore, the job done by the annual staff is one of prime importance, and one that takes at least an hour a day from ten students and one sponsor. Others help, but these eleven are the main ones who take the task of putting out a good yearbook. The staff is composed of an Editor, Business Manager, Art Editor, Advertising Manager, and Photographer, besides Junior assistants to these, who make up the Senior staff for the next year. It takes a great deal of hard work, but there is fun mixed in with this work. For example, four members of the staff and Miss Maggie Sommerville, the sponsor, attended the THSPA convention in Denton last winter. This is a convention attended by schools that are members of the Texas High School Press Association. This was the first year for many years that anyone from Denison had attended the convention, which made the fact that Tommy Cox was elected Treasurer of the Association even more outstanding. At the convention we saw exhibits of yearbooks from other schools all over the state and heard talks by sponsors of annuals who gave many valuable pointers on putting out yearbooks. The convention was very interesting for all who attended it. Joan Martin Editor Alyce Ann Wideman Business Manager It is hoped, as this book is read, that the reader will take into consideration the fact that a lot of hard work was involved, and will remember that those who had a hand in putting it out can honestly say “we did our best.” Also to those who helped us, we express our sincere thanks. This year we chose “as time passes” to be the theme of your yearbook. In composing this annual we have endeavored to show how every hour is spent by the students during the days which they attend D. H. S., thereby preserving some of your happiest moments. The Staff of the 1951 Denison Yellow Jacket Miss Maggie Sommerville Sponsor . . Jacket Staff The Junior Staff: First row, Kay Martin, Asst. Editor; Mary Caro- lyn Eastham, Asst. Art Editor; Tommy Cox, Asst. Business Manager. Second row: Donald Dickson, Asst. Photographer: Lewis Ives, Asst. Advertising Manager. Roger Winter Art Editor I David Yeargain Photographer Terry Garland Advertising Manager DEDICATION “I am not bound to win; but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed; but I am bound to live up to what light I have. I must stand by anybody that stands right—stand with him while he is right, and part from him when he is wrong.” Abraham Lincoln An honest man, and truthful is he who directs the paths of the students with whom he is in daily contact. The very essence of progress is embedded in his thoughts. He is known to everyone as a kind counselor rather than an impersonal advisor. Here is a man capable of fulfilling his duties, but not officious; humanly interested in the problems of us all, but not inquisitive; always friendly, but not lax in matters of discipline. As a tribute to his justice, his constant attention to duty, and his impartiality in dealing with all the students who work for and with him, we, the Yellow Jacket Staff of Denison High School, dedicate our yearbook of 1951 to Mr. Newman Smith, our principal.

Sweetheart LUCILLE RAHN CLASS WILL We, the Seniors of ’51, do hereby bequeath to the Senior Class of ’52: The thrill of wearing a class ring to prove your intentions of graduating. The Senior Homeroom where you are together at last after three long years of yearning. The Senior Sponsors, best of all, to whom you can go when you need advice. The balcony of the auditorium with its covetous front row, where you have always wanted to be during a pep rally and to enjoy the fact that you are above all. The Senior Play with its team work, which gives you a chance to pitch in and do something for the entire school. Senior Day, the day of all days, when you can skip school and meet a teacher face to face, complete with sunburn, poison ivy, and too many pickles. The privilege of being guests at the Prom and enjoying a wonderful dance without having to do a lick of work. The heart-warming Baccalaureate Service to be remembered through the years. Last, but by far not least, the honor of wearing a cap and gown and receiving a diploma on Graduation Night. Seniors of ’52, with these pleasures, we, the Seniors of ’51, wish to express a sincere desire that you enjoy them as much as we have. We leave public school with many fond memories of good old D. H.

In their opening game they were defeated by Wichita Falls, 39 to 2. Texarkana took the Jackets in their second game, 21 to 0, and Longview in the third tilt 24 to 0. The Jackets then journey to Baytown and were defeated for the fourth straight time by a score of 39 to 0. The Jackets broke into the win column by defeating McKinney 6 to 0. The game featured an air-tight defense which stopped the Onion Center team. The Jackets dropped the next tilt, by a score of 12 to 6, to Denton. The Jackets opened conference play by defeating Paris 26 to 12. Gainesville and then Greenville fell to the Jackets in important games, 14 to 12 and 51 to 20, respectively. In the annual Turkey Day Classic Sherman defeated Denison and tossed the district championship into a three-way tie between Paris, Sherman, and Denison. This is the first time this has happened in the history of the district. 76 4 i- Lettermen - 1950, Managers Bobby Pitman Joe Don Simpson Boyce Stalcup Sonny Wilkinson Bonny May, Mgr. Bobby Warner Joe Frank Marchant, Mgr. In this unprecedented situation, it was necessary to invent a method of deciding who would represent the District in the play-offs. The school officials from the District 7-AA schools met in Paris and chose Sherman to represent that district in the state play-offs. This concluded the 1950 Denison Yellow Jacket Football Season, with the exception of spring training, which started February 21. 77 Reserve Lettermen - 1950 Hill Campbell Don Boyd Miller Charles Sherrard Billy Jack Marshall Eddie “(’at” Savage r I k J George Davis Greg Newland Jackie Smith Lowell (ireene Sonny Odom Richard Wilson B-Squad Football B-SQUAD SCHEDULE, 1950 Team Played We They McKinney 19 0 Greenville 20 14 Van Alstyne 14 35 Whitewright 14 34 Sherman 7 21 Whitesboro 1 0 Highland Park 7 34 Left to right: First Row: Boyd Smith, Sammy Brown, Sonny Stricklin, Duke Loveless, Bobby Hauser, Clyde Beine, J.

This year has been a scant one for the track boys because of baseball. Even though these two sports constantly conflicted, both had a good chance for District honors. A few of the track boys entered into the East Texas Relays, but only Billy Anderson and Luther Gohlke won events. The District Meet was held April 13-14. The best prospects for next year’s team are Franklin Wright and Jerry Duggan, with Wright a sure all-district man in the 880 yard dash. Minor and Stewart are also good in the sprints and hurdles.

Melvin Setzer, a sophomore, had eliminated Ashburn and Garland to win the singles championship. At the opening of the 2iyl semester Edwin Paschall, a junior, was the most improved player of the squad. Setzer, Ashburn, and Paschall won matches consistently during the pre-district play from Sherman, Bonham, Greenville, Commerce, Durant, Woodrow Wilson, and Sunset High Schools. Their only defeats were at Denton High and Austin College. The District meet was set for April 14 at E.T.S.T.C. in Commerce Ably supporting the top four players were Gordon Glover, Jimmy Holt, and Charles Thomas. Coach M. M.

Plans were made at this meeting for the swing-in and the installation of officers. On this occasion, pledges were swung into the outer circle of old girls, and the officers for the first semester were then installed. The Rev. B. C. Brown told the traditional story and installed the officers. Neewollah, the big money-making project of the year, was held on Tuesday, October 31, instead of on Friday. This was caused by the full football schedule. Donna Thomas, a senior, was crowned First row: Elnona Bolin, Noel Jean Adkins, Zoe McCoy, Margaret Melson Second row: Barbara McManis, Ima Jean Blackburn, Joan Martin, Joyce Hawkins, Anita Scott, Mina Koym, Marilyn Campbell.

Sixth row: Mary Jane McDaniel, Alyce Wideman, Judy Gleckler, Patsy Nienast, Phillis Lyons, Marilyn Harris. 91 Junior Y-Teens Queen and Lowell Greene, also a senior, was chosen King in the close and heated contest which preceded the big night. This year, instead of skits by each group, outside talent was brought in, as well as talent from the school. The most impressive service of the year was Recognition which was held on December 13. Instead of a traditional legend being given, a modern play, “Christmas News” was presented. The main characters were: Joe, a poor newsboy, Kay Martin; Sally, Joe’s little sister, Libby Harris; Bill, a boy who sold Christmas Trees, Shirley McRae; Chuck Rivers, a famous quarterback, Virginia Akers. The Seniors were the angels, of course, and Patsy Neinast was the white angel. At this service the pledges were recognized as full-fledged members of the Y-Teens. On January 10, second-semester general officers were elected. The first semester officers were re-elected: Jimmy Lois Manning, General President; Bettye Steakley, Vice-President; Kay Martin, Secretary, and Elsie Simms, Treasurer. First row: Kay Martin, Ann Boyle, Shirley McRae, Nancy Flinn. Dorothy Alderson, Joy Billingsley. Second row: Mary Carolyn Eastham, Sandra Ashburn, Jo Ann Aday, Pat Calloway, Frances Espinosa, Eula Mae Johnson, Libby Harris. Third row: Dorothea Trim, Dorothy Turley, Nonie Dukcworth, Miss Marjorie Pitts, Sponsor, Marlene Goodwin, Bonnie Wick. n Sophomore Y-Teens The Manless Dance, at which we annually let down our hair, was held on February 21, instead of on February 14, as originally planned, because of the weather. The Seniors took the prizes for the best group in costume (they came as characters of the Mardi Gras) and for the most original skit. The Juniors took two single prizes: Joy Billingsley (as Eve) for the most original single costume, and Elsie Simms (as Jezebel) for the prettiest single costume. The Sophomores took the prize for the most humorous couple, and the Fish had the most original couple. Judges were Mr. Dickson, Mr. Brous and Mr. Eastham. The Palm Sunday Service was March 17, at Waples Memorial Methodist Church. Dr. H. C. Henderson gave the sermon, and a special choir of girls chosen from the Y-Teens sang “The Lord’s Prayer.” First row: Second row: Third row: Fourth row: Fifth row: Sixth row: 93 Myrna Brown, Betty Dickerson, Donabee Kelsey, Sandra Stapelton, Carol Ann Coker.

The sendee was one of the most beautiful Palm Sunday services the Y-Teens have ever had. A formal dance was planned to be held at the Hotel Denison on May 11. This is continuing the custom started last year, of having all the groups go together on a big formal dance instead of each group having a separate party of its own. This makes it possible to have better decorations, more refreshments, and better entertainment, because all four groups pool their money for this one occasion. The Mother-Daughter Banquet, planned for May 9, wound up the school year for the Y-Teens. At this banquet the officers for the next year were announced, the Seniors were swung out with the traditional chain of flowers and ivy, which is handed down to the Juniors, and the Juniors also got their rings. Thus the Y-Teens rounded out their year, which has fulfilled their triangle of a perfect body, a keen mind, and a Christlike spirit.

The club presented a Quiz Show during the first semester called “Truth or Else.” Dan Nutter was in charge of the arrangements. Members of the club had two hayrides during the year. Probably the highlight of the year was the Hi-Y conference held in Gainesville March 30-April 1, 1951. About ten boys accompanied the club’s sponsor, Mr. Kimble, on the trip. The club’s annual Father and Son Banquet was held on April 12, 1951, at Waples Memorial Methodist Church. The principal speaker at the Banquet was Coach Ray Morrison from Austin College. With such a good year behind them, the Hi-Y Club hopes to have another fine year in 1952. Officers, first semester, were: Bob Watkins, Pres.; Jerry Prideaux, Vice Pres.; Terry Garland, Sec.-Treas.; Billy Ashburn, Sgt.-at-Arms.

The Vocational Industrial Club of Texas is formed by the boys and girls working and studying in Industrial Co-operative Classes and Trade Preparatory Classes in the Public Schools of Texas. To offer opportunities for and to stimulate interests in educational and wholesome recreational activities, District and State meetings are held during each school term. At the meetings, in addition to interesting business and entertainment functions, contests are held in which students compete in the skills and knowledge of the trade or occupation for which they are training. Each type of vocational class in a school has its own local chapter so that it might come together for social functions, entertainment, and educational benefit both within and without the school hours. Members feel that cooperative action will aid materially in carrying their objectives to the businesses, industries, and institutions in the community. Each year the local activities of Chapter 26 are highlighted by an Employer-Employee Banquet given in honor of employers who have cooperated with the school to make the Industrial Co-operative Training program possible.

Classes during this six year period have averaged above twenty students in enrollment per class. Sixty-two students have taken the State Board exam and received their licenses. The classes hold a style show each year just before Easter. The classes are organized into VIC under state supervision. Students attended State VIC meet in Dallas in October, 1950, and they attended State Meet in Tyler in April, 1951. Contests for students in points system and number of customers waited on have been conducted during this school year.

Probably the most outstanding activity of the year was the annual Father and Son Banquet held in the High School Cafeteria. This is a wonderful opportunity for the fathers to actually see what kind of an organization the boys have. As a Chapt'r project, the boys plan to raise 500 bx oilers to help raise funds for carrying on the various activities.

The Scholarship Club The Scholarship Club is the oldest of the Denison High School clubs. The first year’s membership consisted of no seniors, 13 juniors, and 11 sophomores—a total of 25. Now its membership varies from 60-85, depending upon the enrollment of the school. The requirements for this club: An average of 90 or higher for a year in four or more subjects, with no grade below 80, exam grades are included. The membership roll is made at the first of each October. The president must be a senior, the vice president a junior; the secretary and the treasurer are sophomores.

A. S. F. of Denison High School began its activities with the annual initiation party in the high school gymnasium October 25. The party was a big success; about thirty new members were initiated. Throughout the year the P. A. S. F. brought movies, many in color, of South America and Mexico to its members and the student body. In showing these movies the P. A. S. F. succeeded in creating a better understanding toward the Spanish speaking people. Two of the movies were accompanied by talks from Mr. Robert Richard of Sao Paulo, Brazil and Mr. Arthur Wood of Bogota, Columbia. December 11 the P. A. S. F. held its annual Christmas party in the high school cafeteria. Highlighting the party was the breaking of the pinnata. by Shirley McRae, Reporter 103 Latin Club The Latin Club has accomplished a great deal this year. After the club had joined the National Junior Classical League, the names of the members were listed on a page in the National JCL Directory. In order to join the State JCL, the club held an assembly to advertise JCL pencils that the members were to sell. The campaign was a huge success, and the club joined the State JCL. Also the club initiated several members. The Latin Club intends to initiate the first year Latin “plebs” in the spring. The members are going to attend the State Convention, if possible. They are going to hold a formal Latin banquet for the new members and the alumni. by Noel Jean Adkins Left to right: First row: Roger Winter, Theda Mae Kellough.Jo Ann Hillerman, Noel Jean Adkins, Shirley Jo Jackson, Alma Jo Tate.

The individual representatives from homerooms have become the real voice of the student body. Headed by Senior Class president, Eddie Savage, the Student Congress is sponsored by Miss Marjorie Pitts. The other officers of the Congress, in addition to the president, are G. J. Turney, Vice President; Lorrain Bates, Secretary; John Huffman, Treasurer; and Bob Watkins, Parliamentarian. The purpose of the group is to promote good student-faculty relations, to be a means of student expression, to provide citizenship training, and to promote general interest in extra-curricular activities.

This past year has been one of the busiest in the history of D. H. S. for the band, with nearly 60 performances (parades, concerts, etc.). Also for the first time in the history of our high school, a band “Booster’s Club” has been organized. Majorettes: Lavada Crook, Nancy Stroud. Basses: Artie Paulk, Stanley Payne.

Drums: Joyce Heacker, Alice Smith, Barbara Smith, Harold Cundiff. 106 Yellow Jacket Band The band was proud of its solo trumpet player, Paul Jennings, who was chosen as one of two trumpeters in the All-State Band. The band did not enter the contest at Denton because it had not found a place where it could carry on intensive practice sessions suitably. Drums: J. B. Doane, Mary Holland, Sandra Stapleton. Bell-Lyra: Jo Anna Malear. Horns: Willora Armstrong, Dorothy Dexhiemer, Mary Jolley, Nancy Flinn. Flutes: Mitzi Miller, Martha Jones. Bassoon: Judith Robinson. Oboe: David Harrell.

The Choral Department of Denison High School, under the direction of Mrs. Fred Parker, includes a number of distinct groups; an oratorio choir, a male glee club, and a girls’ chorus. There are several small assemblies which need recognition also. These are a girls’ trio and a girls’ sextet. The boys stand out with a male quartet. Membership in these groups is highly prized. The Chorus participated in the Mid-Century Music Festival in Dallas, which was held during the State Fair. Other affairs which the Chorus has taken part in include: The Tri-City Meet in Sherman, and the All-State Music Convention which was held in Galveston. Several of the members attended the latter, and the male chorus took part in the former. The Chorus annually presents Handel’s “Messiah” around Christmas time. The oratorio has been presented three years in succession by the Chorus, and it is hoped that this presentation will become annual.

Tommy Don Wright, Terry Garland, Bobby Harris, Duanne Staggers, Don Rutledge. 108 School Chorus The high point of the year, perhaps, was reached when the Chorus presented the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta “The Pirates of Penzance”. Barbara Cotton had the leading role, and Paul Jennings had the leading male role. They were supported by a cast from the rest of the chorus. The officers for the Chorus are elected at the annual Christmas party. The officers for 1950-51 are: President, Kay Martin; vice President, Dorothy Trim; Secretary, Barbara Cotton; Treasurer, J. D. Griffin. The chorus represents the school in various civic and church events, such as the annual Easter Sunrise Service and in the presentation of the “Messiah” by the Presbyterian Church last December. by Barbara Cotton, Secretary First row.

It is published weekly in the Sunday Denison Herald. The primary purpose of the Buzz is to give the high school news and to promote among the D. H. S. students a keener interest in their school. The Buzz came into being in 1923. Previous to this the Hi-Life was the only publication serving the students. We, the staff, wish to thank the faculty and the students for their complete co-operation in getting The Buzz started again in D. H. S. We hope that we can always give you a paper that you can be proud of. by Shirley McRae, assist, editor The staff, first row, from left to right: Sandra Ashburn, typist; Lorraine Bates, assist, ed.; Noel Jean Adkins, copyreader; Charlynn Akins, reporter.
