The group passed on into the heart of the school but they turned the school green to match themselves. As Sophomores, they presented a very successful play, Early To Bed . Its cast and supporting cast of twenty came from the junior class of today. The juniors of 1940 got off to a good start by electing Bobby jack White, President, Paul Wheeler, Vice President, john Bell, Secretaryg and George Peters, Treasurer. These four boys with the aid of their faithful sponsor, Miss Roberta Gridlin, led the class through a very busy year. ivdaq, aa, ' , tommfww aim, Page twenty-fzvu . 1 .Nh Tj JJ-1Tf',l,p I - QM V w 5. is .,, s .., 1-'ii 3? an IT' rg.- I! v 1 C-enewfieve Collins, Beatrice Cook Denver Crawford Harold Cross Eleanor jane Cusick junior Depew Ruth Doggett ' i Ray Duncan 4,Ddreen Eachus Mary Foster Martha jane French Helen Fulkerson jackie Gilmer l-lomer Hensly Q ' Ruth Huffaker fLela johnson Robert johnson Yolanda johnson Bill jones Emily jones Lois joyce Y LN J . 4 ' -L During the month of November, the juniors sold magazines. The class was divided into two teams for the occasion. The teams were called Pota- watomies and Kickapoos. The proceeds were for a portion of the expense of the Senior entertainment. On February 29, the talented members of the class gave a very success- ful musical comedy. The program featured such members as George Peters. jackie Cilmer and others. The play was a howling success and the audi- torium was packed both nights. A Rustic Romeo , was the title and was well portrayed with the unique music and costumes. This musical comedy was directed by Miss Grace Bruce.

It all came the nineteenth of April and every- body was looking forward to it for three weeks ahead of time. All who came stayed until Mr. Koffman finally made everything close up although nearly all the booths had already sold out. Next came the entertainment for the Seniors. First they were given a dinner and then a dance in the High School Cym. This was the featured social function of the year but it made up well for all chances that could have been missed. than ichuzg M, Iwi, ffm Page fiveiify-fozn' me ,i ,. . 1 X ,rf !

The selection was very beautiful and was the latest in style. Miss Cridlin was supervisor over the committee which included Bobby jack White, Louise Brake, Paul Wheeler, Ruth Doggett, Eleanor jane Cusick, and Shelton Biles. The juniors are indebted to Tommy Peters, Virginia Agett, and Carl Cole for their faithful services as representatives on the Student Council.

Each day, before and after school and at noon, Nick Patton stood behind the counter of the activity store and served all who came for refreshments or school supplies. D. A. Pyle lead their cheers at all the sports events and Tommy Peters lead the band as drum major wherever they marched. The Annual, which all owners cherish, was par- tially edited by six juniors: Alex Armstrong, Shelton Biles, Maryanna Smith, Merton McCorkle, Bill Williams, and Spears Vavalides. All the sports were led by members of the junior class. Each football game was played with a representation of ten and the whole team was backed by the injured captain, Rod Morley, who was forced to the side- lines for the entire season. The basketball team was also made up of jun- iors. Of the first two squads, eight came from the heart of one of the best junior classes ever to enter the halls of Dobyns-Bennett High School. fam tomoM.owfluzDL wmlc ham, lmqun..

Kingsport was weak in both pass offense and pass defense, but showed power in run- ning plays. Despite the large score, there was little glory in the victory as the visitors were not strong enough to give the Indians a hard test. Kingsport 6-Asheville 6 ln Asheville on a very hot afternoon, the Indians showed a superiority of at least two touchdowns over the opposition but lacked the needed scoring punch. Again it was the pass defense which proved Kingsport's downfall and enabled Asheville to make a ninety-yard drive to tie the game. The ln- dians scored three touchdowns but two of them were called back, james Chadwell, acting captain, played an outstanding game at tackle. being in the Asheville backfield all afternoon. Page thi'rty-four Kingsport 20-Chattanooga I4 Playing their second consecutive game away from home, the Indians met Chat- tanooga Central in a game which was a thriller from start to finish. This victory came as all victories over the Pounders have come-the hard way-with the Chatta- nooga team leading up until the last four minutes of play when a long pass by Whit- aker and some brilliant running by Cifers gave the Indians their third and winning score. Chattanooga's new stadium was packed to overflowing and their team was pitched to upset the bucket , ' Kingsport I2-Louisville Manual 7 The hard fighting Indians handed the i938 National Champions. Louisville Man- ual, their first defeat in fourteen starts in one of the most thrilling football games ever played on Dobyns-Bennett field. Bobby Cifers netted both of Kingsport's touch- downs to pace the Indians to a I2-7 victory. The Manual eleven clearly showed itself to be the best offensive team to play in Kings- port for many a year, but the defensive work of jr. Depew and john Bell kept them well bewildered all evening.

B. H. S. varsity squad. During the past four years '57 different boys have received varsity football letters, and of this number 4l have had their elementary training as members of the B team. Six scheduled games, and one practice game were played by the i939 B squad. The first clash. against johnson City jr. High, in which only Kings- port freshmen were used, ended in a scoreless tie, The next week the team journeyed to Gate City where they played the Blue Devils varsity under lights, The more experienced varsity took advantage of several B team flukes and emerged victors by a l3-O count. A return game with the johnson City yearlings gave the B team a 6-O win, the only score coming late in the game following a successful passing attack. A 6-6 deadlock was the result of an evenly matched contest with the Appalachia B team the following week. The next game. which resulted in a victorious war dance, took place in jones- boro when the Papooses took the big jonesboro varsity into camp by the score of 32-7. The final game with Appalachia was satisfying to the opponents only, since the Kingsport boys were defeated 7-O. Page flzirty-sI.r 5 . . Xu The track team had a very successful season last year. At A fl, the High School Day meet at the University of Tennessee at 'V 5 Knoxville, many of the boys earned first and second honor med- als. These were individual medals and nearly every contest t yielded honors to Kingsport. Three State records were set by Kingsport boys last year. The team won first place in the East - 4 Tennessee meet at johnson City and second place in the State r meet. The Big Six Conference title was an easy prey for these able tracksters. Few experienced boys were lost for this year so another successful season is expected. Track Records Held by Kingsport State Records High jump-Mansfield jackson, 6'l , l933 Broad jump-M. T.

A roar of the crowd. a clap of hands, and the basketball team emerged from the floor with a hard fought and gallant victory as they did twenty-two times this year-disappointed five times only, This squad of high-spirited boys played one of the best regular seasons to be recorded at Kingsport, only to fall at the hands of also competent l-lolston Valley in the district tournaa ment. Before the downfall, Kingsport grasped the Big Five Championship and tied with Knoxville and Bradley to be the East Tennessee Conference cham- pions. The annual Florida trip during Christmas holidays was successful with eight games in eight days, losing four out of the five games which were all lost away from home, Kingsport is the only team to be undefeated by her Big Five opponents during the year. Not one game was lost on the home floor, Since only three members of the squad will be lost due to graduation, an- other successful season is predicted for next year. , mtl' , WY Q Q57 i 1 tgljgikd, WML QL 914. jim, 0 eg 'X NF .- jawn at e ik fx, U37 fl S KX JR xg JA My Front row Charles Church, Lawrence Thaver, Torn Carter, Lonzo Barrett, Robert Cifers.

Pan. Emp, Our school in i939 was caught below par in golf material. The golf record hit a new all time low due to the lack of experienced players, since not one of the members of the preceding championship team returned. Bristol and Morristown were the only Big Six teams that included golf on their spring program and therefore were the only foes of the green players. Bristol marched gallantly on to a WM to M victory over the boys and later Morris- town beat them l5 to 3. The outlook for l94O is more favorable. All of last years experienced players will return to be joined by some from junior High. The new members include Bobby jack White, Fred Bullis, and George Smith. These boys are looking forward to a very successful season under the able guidance of their new coach, Mr. Peterson. ..Q-...,.a.. . i 4...

Fourteen times the Kings- port boys went to the showers victorious- seven times in honorable defeat. There was a scarcity of good pitching material but as the season wore on pitchers were developed and the outfield became better and better. The hitting was very good and was a con- trolling factor in the fate of the team. This year about fifteen veterans have returned to be joined by as many new players, all with some experience in the game. A very successful season is foreseen this year.

The purpose of the club is to stimulate an interest in writing and to render experience in this field. The Kingsport Times gave to the journal Club a tabloid to be devoted entirely to ac- tivities of D. B. H. S. and jr. Hi. students. Different names suggested by the students were submitted to a vote before the whole student body who chose The Indian Tribune . The students of the journal Club write up all their material and figure the spacing of the paper. The Kingsport Times prints these issues free. The journal Club is larger this year than ever before. ln the future it is going to in- clude a larger staff. Instead of using juniors and Seniors as the constitution provides, new members will hereafter be chosen from the four classes. For April Fool's Day a special edition of the paper was printed. The papers were printed in an off color and all columns were fictitious. Nick Patton served as the first editor, and Ruth Doggett assumed the responsibil- ity of editorship the second semester. A special commencement edition was put out for the graduating seniors which in- cluded i tures of outstanding Seniors.

Everybody was glad to see the ninety members in their grey pants and maroon coats as they went through many drills and formations which was plain to see had taken much time and very hard work. During football season, everybody looked forward to seeing the band, with its two newly added majorettes, as they paraded down town in the after- noon and on the field during the half that night. The majorettes featured dancing both in front and in the middle of a formation. We can thank Fess Witt for the leadership of ninety pieces which have never been equaled in East Tennessee at any time. The contests entered included the Dogwood Festival in Bristol, and the East Tennessee contest in johnson City on April I8, and l9. Last june our band played for the Rhododendron festival in Asheville, as has been the prac- year. I I J Barbara White, Lillian Von Bramer, Susan Pridemore, and Geraldine Hasche tice for many years.

The main purpose of the club is to perform more efficient library service. On the first Tuesday night each month a meeting is held at the home of a member where all members are free to voice any complaints or offer suggestions to trouble arising in magazine or library work. The library has added several more de- partments to their regular program. They have established a Student File in the li- brary. This file enables the students to keep up with the books they have out and to return them on time. They also established a Learn a Word a Day program. A different word was posted in the Study Hall every day with its meaning printed under it. The last semester for a change the Learn a Word a Day was changed to a Do You Know Contest . Two questions are posted in the Study Hall during the week. Stu- dents entering the contest were to turn in their answers to these questions with- out asking teachers for the answers but looking in books and magazines. The winner received a handsome award. Two students in the typing department receive extra credit for typing subject cards for the revision of the card catalog. A spring exhibit of the new books was given by the members of the library club. Each member made a picturesque display of a group of the one hundred and sev- enty five books.
