FRANK WRIGHT DIRECTORS The many lanes of school traffic are directed by six able men and women of Kingsport. Supervising educational courses in the seven elementary and high schools of the city has become a familiar task to them through many years of faithful service on the board of edu- cation. It is this distinguished group that selects our teachers, furnishes school equip- ment, and directs the policies of such a suc- cessful educational system. The students of Dobyns-Bennett are proud of the opportunities offered for the better- ment of their minds and bodies by such civic- minded and altruistic persons as the members of the School Board. Superintendent Ross N. Robinson TI-IE CHIEF be Q o-rm Our Faculty Feasts Mr. Robinson has served our school well by helping make it the up-to-date school that it is. Aside from his regular duties he has taken a personal interest in the activities and school problems. He started his career in Kingsport as principal of the high school in 1921. In 1924 he was appointed superintendent of the Kingsport city schools and through his efficiency he has held the position ever since. As one of the outstanding members of the Tennessee Educational Asso- ciation, Mr. Robinson acclaims the appreciation of the student body for his success as a leader.

Many worth- while traditions and ideas which we have assumed to be ours forever are endangered. Many persons are quick to accept some foreign cult or issue be- cause of their inability or refusal to reason We believe it the duty of our school to teach you how to think rather than what to think. We hope your stay has enabled you to distinguish between fact and propaganda, and that you will be less suscep- tible to the contagion of dangerous beliefs. We be- lieve that the full knowledge of American history, of our country's struggles, and its traditions and ideals will make you a better citizen of the future, and that you will more likely do your part in per- petuating the American way of -life. ve in an age that challenges our concepts Charles K.

The above quotation is from a letter read at the All American Festival, New York, written by Theodore Roosevelt. Our English department wants us to be Americans. The main purpose of the school cur- riculum is to interpret to students the industrial and institutional life of the so- ciety into which they are born and in which, as adults, they must play an in- telligent part. English is the doorway through which students pass on the road to success and happiness in this society. When the contents of the curriculum are broad, varied, and rich, and when pupils are given opportunity to express them- selves freely, as in our school, much of the work in English will relate itself nat- urally to the other studies of the .cur- riculum.

This department emphasizes our American principles by teaching the students the fundamentals of democ- racy, the history of our nation, and importance and position of capital and labor. This department offers a wide range of subjects including Ancient History, Modern History, Sociology, Econom- ics, and American History, a state-re- quired subject for seniors. Ancient and Modern History deals mostly with European and Asiatic History leading to the rise and fall of each country and the consequent founding of our Amer- ican nation. The American History takes the United States at its found- ing and brings it to the WPA. Soci- ology teaches the good and evil of our alphabetical administrations and how they may be perfected. Economics brings out the mercenary character- istics of the world we occupy. Having completed these courses, the student is well adapted to being a good citizen. AND HOW IT WORKS Chemists - we hope! With the tirst Iloor for its three laboratories, the Sci- ence Department has be- come one of the best in school. It offers a four- year course which in- cludes the Biological sci- ences of biology, Zool- ogy, and botany. Be cause of our geograph- ical location geology is also offered, and fo the more serious stu- I. dent, courses in chemistry and physics are avail- able. ,A 4' . 57 7 Romance lantlufwit ' VOCABULARI ES AND TRANSLATIONS For the student who wants culture skill and knonl d V1 th ' ,, . , ' e gc ere is no better department in the school than that of Foreign Languages. In both French and Latin,students may secure majors, leadin ft 'd 'X f ' - ' 5, o a minced vxork in languages in college. Three years of French is offered, and four ' 1' ' 1 ' 5 cal s of Latin. The students in these classes have in addition to textbook material a wide reading course enabling them to get a survey of the entire language. The French students subscribe to Le Petit Journal , a student newspaper, and to Voici , a French magazine digest. Latin students have an especially attractive collection of books in the school library: these are primarily source books to supplement the text and fiction which is based on Roman life and culture. The entire department emphasizes high scholarship, thorough preparation, and a read- ing knowledge of languages. The courses are enriched by activities as the Roman Banquet every four years, Latin tournaments, and a very active French club. These courses aid greatly in pursuits of the study ot' our own language. Miss Mountjoy, Latin-French Miss Elmore, Latin Miss Cridlin, French The courses offered by this department are: Typing, Shorthand, Accounting, Business Arithmetic, Business English, and Com- mercial Law. By means of the co-operative plan recently adopted, the department fur- nishes the various activities of the school with typists and private secretaries. It also does many projects for civic clubs, churches, and business people. In this Way students get much practical experience and preparation for business. A rule of the directors of the department is to recommend only those students who have better than average records in this depart- ment. As a result of this practice our com- mercial students are carrying good reports of D.B.H.S. into all parts of the state. This year a statistical survey was made by students ot' commercial subjects to check on the place- ment of graduates. Results were particularly gratifying to the instructors. A number of students won Certificates of Ifltliciency in the National Clerical Ability Tests last year. Now that the department has overflowed into larger quarters-witness the typing room-there is no limit to the amount of highly trained typists and account- ants the school can supply. BUSINESS BENT Miss Bruce gives aid Miss Bellamy looks pleased Mr. Chambers awaits response On your mark- Get set Let's type XXXL COOKS The architects and mechanics of today were taught by two in- structors who gave their entire time to one of the favorite de- partments of the school. Two hundred and twenty-five pupils were enrolled in courses consisting of mechanical draw- ing, architectural drafting, and home mechanics. Many students brought their own automobiles and repaired them, obtaining sat- isfactory results. The mechanical and architectural drafting courses were given under state regulations. Students 'Pere quick to realize the many opportunities which this department offered and chose their subjects accordingly. Last year another instructor was added to the faculty, thereby giving all students ample time for individual instruction. Thus these courses make up one of the best vocational departments in any school. en .E Miss Macon Miss Massengill AND CARPENTERS Just an inch too long Working on a V-8 Wagxr Mi. Fonmgtt, M1 '- Nave Probably the department most favored by girls was home eco- nomics. The courses included sewing, cooking and home mak- ing. The favorite activity of the girls was the cooking class. Here, under the direction of Miss Mas- sengill, the students prepared such delicacies as pineapple cream pie, chocolate layer cakes, and cookies of different varieties. They also planned different types of meals. These future house- wives were also taught how to prepare and serve three square meals a day, to preserve food, to care for children, and to apply first aid. The sewing classes helped in the defense program by making dresses for the Red Cross and British war relief. These gar- ments included school dresses, skirts, and other necessary ma- terials which were needed in Europe for the relief of the poor. Because of the great increase in this department, two teachers gave their full time to all pupils interested in these subjects. A Valentine party HEALTH BUILDING .

In the fall they play touch football and tennis, in the winter, basketball and volleyballg and in the spring, when the weather per- mits, softball and outdoor track. As a service to the boys Coach Rohr- danz offered again this year a pro- gram by which boys secured towels after every gym session. Along with gym, our intramural sports program and our Saturday Morn- ing League serve to improve the athletic possibilities of the boys. The girls are also required to take gym twice each week, when they meet under the instruction of Miss Enlow. They carry out a year- round program of volleyball, soccer, tennis, softball, and basketball. The Girls' Athletic Association provides an outlet for girls who desire fur- ther athletic achievements.

A valuable cour' se was that of Business Arithmetic which pre- pares the student for the con- sumer's world and at the same time gives him background for the bookl keeping and accounting courses of the commercial department. The tive instructors solicited proj- ects from actual school and busi- ness situations and incl d . ' u ed such in the classroom work. 33. Mr. Clemmer Beethmens F utufe SounflS flat AN DAN Mr. Witt, Miss Lewis The music department has kept pace With the development of an enriched curriculum for Dobyns-Bennett. This year marked the addition of a full time instructor in choral music and four new classes in general music. These classes proved in their first semester to be the answer to a real need within our school. Miss Lewis, a graduate of the University of Kentucky, organized the course of study to give the students in these sec- tions a study of harmony, musical terms, history of music, and music appreciation The Glee club now ' is an organ' made up of ' ization students l . se ected from the usual music classes becats ' ' In th ' 189 of klblllty. e same wa y the mixed compos d chorus is e of stude t . n s who h'1 special ab' ' ' ive shown 1 1l1ty With t . wo such orf tions, the ' ' ganiza- school is rapidl . y pushing ' h its program ' Again P a ead of fine arts. rofessor W' . . itt direct d and orche. t ' e band s ld classe .. s.

Under the guid- ance of Miss Ramer, the faculty advisor, this group of students composed of four seniors, three juniors, two sophomores, and one freshman elected by the popular vote at the meetings of their respective classes, met once a week in order to discuss and to establish plans which were for the betterment of our school. The Student Council supported a school Lost and Found department which returned books, pencils, clothes, and other articles. They arranged for a student in the ofiice to assist by answering the telephone calls and by doing other routine Work which greatly aided Miss Penn. A very popular project among students of the school was the dancing course given at noon by some of the talented dancers of Dobyns-Bennett. This opportunity was well received and resulted in a greatly increased attendance at the school dances. Occasional noon dances sponsored by the Council were held in the school gym to promote greater interest in dancing. The Student Council assisted in the magazine sales drive for an organ for our auditorium. Led by Virginia Agett, elected president of the Student Council for the past year, this group has greatly proved its efficiency by raising the morale and citizenship in Dobyns-Bennett. 1 O n THE PRIDE CF THE SCI-ICOL ..pv Front Row: Lawrence Thayer, Jaekie Gilmer, Jane Shivell, Carl Light Kenneth Fincher.

New uniforms consisting of gray trousers with a maroon side stripe and of maroon coats trimmed in gray with an American Legion emblem on each lapel were purchased with funds donated by the Hammond Post of the Amer- ican Legion. The hats were of West Point style with white plumes.

With the use of the dark room, developing tank, printing box, and enlarger, these members develop and print their own photographs. The darkroom equipment is of the finest type available for schools. During the year students who didn't have the required facilities at home, for devel- oping and printing, used the Camera Club's equipment. Among the more recent additions were an F-R Developing Tank and stainless steel squeegee plates. These plates helped the appearance of the prints by giving them a glossy and bright finish. This year the club sponsored an exhibi- tion contest from which Bill Williams emerged winner with Brown Hughes run- ning a close second. Through the experience gained in the Camera Club these two boys have been very helpful as photographers for the annual. Who's the winner, boys? Page twenty-nine Now in its twelfth year under the direction of Professor Witt, the orches- tra consists of thirty-tive pieces. These include violins, clarinets, drums, French horns, and a brass section. New music, principally overtures and classical selections, formed the program for rehearsals this year. With the growth of the organization new demands have been placed upon it. Chief among its services to the school this year have been its appear- ances before the school assembly. With the inauguration of a broadcasting program, the orchestra has given fine performances over WKPT from the school stage. Likewise it has furnished programs for various civic groups. The orchestra is another of the musical organizations that furnish enter- tainment and education for its members and the student body. It has always been recognized as one of the most popular enterprises in the school. MUSIC MAKERS Kenner Lyons, Louise Bralley. Reeds: Jerry Jackson, Elizabeth Barnes, Kenneth Cox, Oneda Brown.

About twenty-three members debated the question, Resolved, that the power of the Federal government should be increased, in over two hundred debates which were held at tournaments in Jonesboro, Bristol, Knoxville, Emory and Henry College, Johnson City, and Kings- port. To the student congress of the Appa- lachian District of the National Forensic League on January 10 and 11 the Kings- port High School debate club sent Sena- tors Agett, Neal, and Lady and Represen- tatives Collins and Dickson. Mr. Swanson acted as Chief Clerk and Parliamentarian for the Senate. Dobyns-Bennett High School Congressmen introduced three bills: two were passed by both houses, the other was thrown out for political reasons. The two bills that were passed were bills that called for a uniform regulation of marriage and divorce and increased aid to South America. In May four members of the debate club attended the National N.F.L. tournament at Lexington, Kentucky. Virginia Agett was one of the two Senators from this dis- trict sent to the Student Congress at this National Tournament.

Page tlzirfy-M00 The year for Hi-Y actually got under way in late September when the new recruits were taken to Bay's Mountain for initiation. This venture proved the beginning of a very successful year for this or- ganization which consisted of forty boys. Many interesting speakers enriched the minds of all the boys as they met the last period of each Tuesday. The speakers included doctors, lawyers, ministers, and many business men of Kingsport. These talks dealt with everyday problems that con- front a high school boy. The projects for the year included a gift of gro- ceries and meat to a needy family at Christmas. Another accomplishment was the sending of five dele- gates to the Hi-Y conference at Cleveland, Tennessee. Two joint meetings were held with the Girl Re- serves during the course of the year. The chief topic of discussion was boy and girl relationships. The members of both organizations felt these meetings to be very profitable from a social standpoint.

It fulfilled at all times its duty in giving the student body and faculty more efiicient service. Each of the twenty-six mem- bers was required to serve at least one semester club meetings to retain membership. All book mending was done by members of the club. Upon arrival of one hundred seventy new volumes and a new set of Compton's En- cyclopedia for the libra1'y, the club became very busy in preparing the books for use. In order to give the faculty an introduc- tion to such additions to the book-shelves, the club gave a tea in the reference room to which all the teachers were invited. The reference room was also arranged for a display to the student body. These representative students truly emphasized their motto, Service, throughout the year. Theirs was one of the principal tasks in Dobyns-Ben- nett. Top group: Dariel White. Georgia Bishop, Margarette Peppers, Mil- dred Cloniger, Billy Lyons.

This club, composed of Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors, has already shown its ability to develop leadership and character. Foremost in the objectives of the organization are Leadership, Service, Character, and Honesty. In accordance with these principles, the club's project for the year has been the promotion of honesty in the school. Already this club has become outstanding by its record-making food sales as a service to the school in solving the lunch problem. The proceeds from these sales were used to provide milk for a needy family and books for the Children's Home. On February 17, the Kingsport chapter was host to the members of the Beta Clubs of the surrounding area at an open meeting and informal tea dance at the Civic Auditorium. To climax its year of activities the members of the Beta Club attended the annual State Convention at Nashville during March 21-23 at which time Miss Elmore was honored at one meeting and was given a Beta pillow top. Jim Brockman, president of the local group, was elected vice-president for the state of Tennessee. To climax the convention, the Kingsport club was awarded the Tennessee loving cup for achievement and efficiency. Miss Elmore, sponsor, has re- ceived a Certificate of Merit from the National Secretary of Beta Clubs. The club sponsored many sand- wich sales during the year in order to iinance their many activities. T,-umm' Wm The Journal Club under the able guidance of Miss Fore and Mr. Peterson has greatly extended its pur- pose of developing the journalistic talents of its mem- bers and furthering the student's interest in school news and activities. This year the bi-monthly Indian Tribune was dis- tributed free of charge at the school instead of being included as a part of the Kingsport Times. Thelma Scutt, a former able reporter, was elected to assume the responsibilities of editor-in-chief until next fall. On April Fool's Day a second annual special edition was published. As in the first edition the paper was printed in off color and the majority of the columns were comical and fictitious. The funds from this edition were used to send representatives to the Journalist's meeting on High School Day at the University of Ten- nessee.

'- l Views from French friends LE CERCLE FRANCAIS The French Club was organized for the purpose of giving to those students interested in France, the French people, their language, and their customs an op- portunity to make a more definite study of these subjects than that achieved in the classroom. Interest was shown during 1940-41 in the programs presented at the two monthly meetings by members of the club. These programs dealt with a de- tailed history of the French people. Much time was spent discussing the present war among the group, with Paul Katenburg, a Belgian refugee, and with Miss Cridlin, who is interested in the French commentators. The Correspondence Club, organized last year for the purpose of communicat- ing with students in France has been dis- continued since the war. Members were pledged to the club in the spring and fall of 1940-41. Those pledged were required to have an aver- age of B in all subjects and 90 or above in French. After proving themselves as pledges through service to the club the pledges became members in a formal initiation in January, 1940. Throughout the year the club kept all students informed on the subject of the present war by posting news regularly on the bulletin board. The activities of the club closed the 4th Thursday in May with a French banquet. The responsibility of keeping the school interested in the French people and their customs and posted on Ger- man-occupied-France now rests almost entirely on the French Club.

EXCELLING IN FGUR Representing the Junior class, eighteen boys and girls were selected by a faculty group in 1940 to constitute the National Honor Society during their senior year of 1941. First. the members must represent the upper twenty-five per cent scholasticallyg and next they must have proved themselves in leadership, character, and service rendered the school. This gives the club a select group. The club began the year with a school-sponsored Wiener roast on Bay's Mountain. Its year became busy with bi-monthly programs at noon meetings. Two radio programs added to the emphasis placed on patriotism during the year. The principal projects included a Christmas basket for a needy family and a later consolidation of funds with the Beta Club to furnish a year's supply of milk to a needy family. On April 4, the new members of the Junior class were initiated. After the initiation banquet at the Utilities Building, a dance was given with the month's honor students and special guests of the old members invited. An assembly p1'ogram was given in the same month. This program proved a success in featuring Dobyns-Bennett's own Professor Quiz. Front Row: Ruth Huff- aker.

OUR MGDERN YEOMEN Robin Hood and his Merry Men have had real competition this year from the archers of Dobyns-Bennett. Under the able leadership of Mr. Johnson the Arch- ery Club this year doubled its member- ship, participated in several inter- scholastic meets, and developed some outstanding talent. Beginning in November, 1939, with six members, the club has increased in mem- bership and interest until it registered in 1941 a total of twenty-five members. Bows and arrows were purchased by in- dividual students, and practices were held each afternoon. Frances Blessing was selected presi- dent of the club this year. She carried out a very successful program and made the club self-supporting. A five-cent bas- ketball game between the girls of the club and the faculty women netted enough to buy two targets and target faces. This equipment was placed on the practice field for the use of members. X Zin ' - . g ' ' - llllSs0d Page thirty-izine The Kingsport Players, after becoming National Thespian Troupe No. 432, had a very successful year. The club was accepted into the National Thespians and was formally initiated on November 26. The initiation ceremony was presided over by Miss Wylie and was followed by a delightful luncheon given in the Home Economics room by the new members. This society is a non-secret, non-social, national organization with the motto: Act well your part, there all the honor lies. To become members of the dramatic club students must have at least ten acting points and five service points for stage work. These include minor and major parts, work on makeup, and any other phase of dramatics. Membership in this organization has served as an inspiration by continuing to raise the standa1'd of work presented. Several one-act plays and tragedies were presented during the year including an assembly play presented for a small fee. The proceeds of this show went to the club. TI-IESPIAN National Drama Week, which was held February 9-16, was a very active week for the club. All y members were placed on committees to make post- y ers of the current plays and to popularize many of the old dramas and tragedies. The entire group at- tended a radio broadcast which included a review of drama, its help to education, and the dramatic relationship to everyday life. A play, The Light To Glory , was presented in honor of this week. The main characters were portrayed by Ralph Deck, Paul Wheeler, Margaret Penn, and Jackie Gilmer. The week was brought successfully to a close with a theatre party. The members of the club took their favorite lead as Lyn- nie, Jane, Bill, and Kay advertised 'tThe Light To Glory in which Ralph, Poggy. Paul, and Jackie took the parts. .wg Jackie's amateurs lm 1' furiy Front Row: Lynnie Cox, Margaret Penn, Ruth Von Bramer. Jane Shivell.

TRCDU PE NO. 432 Several members of the club directed plays that were presented during assembly periods and for evening performances. The club this year helped very much in the field of makeup. For every school play a makeup mistress and an assistant were on hand to apply the powder, lipstick, eye-shade and the many other articles necessary. The stage crew, under the direction of the Dramatic Club, constructed the different sets of the plays. This crew consisted of a stage manager and three assistants who served for one year or longer. The club has always been loyal in assisting all class productions, club programs, and even non- rl- sehool productions, on the Dobyns-Bennett stage.

Seventy girls organized a sew- ing club under the direction of Miss Macon, the sewing instructor, for the work in making these garments. By the end of the year sixty-five finished pieces were given to the Red Cross for transportation to England. At the same time the club furnished to its members experience in plan- ning programs, and also in taking an active part in them. It provided for social and cooperative work among the students, not forgetting the valuable lessons of team work in organization. Group meetings were held during the first period of each Friday morning. At an Easter meeting the girls presented a clever fashion show of apparel made during the year, with refreshments afterwards. Many noons found the Club's food sale occupying the main hall of the building, the funds of the sale going to current expenses. The chief social function was a hike during the early spring. This, one of the newest clubs in school, had the most promising future as the year of Dobyns-Bennett closed.

Business Managers -f Mary- ana Smith, Valda Stone, Ruth Von Bramer, Mary Elizabeth Meflorkle, Jackie Gilmer, Bert Jacobs. Once again a staff of editors and business managers set out to publish a Maroon and Grey for the students of Kingsport in order that they might never forget the happy davs spent with each other in every phase of school life. Many are the dear memories that come from the four years of high school and many the ones that live forever in the annual. The staff, consisting of six editors, th1'ee typists, six busi- ness managers, and one photographer, endeavored to better all Dobyns-Bennett yearbook records. Goals were set beyond those ot previous years' records which were supreme in many fields. The 1940 edition of the Maroon and Grey was entered in the National Scholastic Press Association's national contest and received a First Class Honor Rating. This rating was the high- est that has ever been achieved by a Dobyns-Bennett p ublica- tion. The only other school in Tennessee which has achieved a similar rating is Bristol, Tennes- see High School. The 1941 staff has tried in every way for the betterment of the 1941 publication and their work lies before you. Editor--Alex Armstrong. Assistant Editors f- Spears Vavalides, John I.

GIRLS OF CHARACTER The forty Freshmen and Sophomore girls who made up the Junior Girl Reserves this year were above average in ingenuity and ambition. They sent delegates to two conferences, clothed a girl at the Faith Home, made money by five different enter- prises, and planned to send a member to the Gi1'l Reserve Summer Conference. The year began with an elaborate candle- light initiation ceremony out on the bank of the Holston River. Within the next week, Madge Anderson was elected president for the iirst semester: Peggy Rollins, vice-pres- Three identg Elizabeth Maples, secretary, and Marjorie Eachus, treasurer. Programs for the first semester were ar- ranged about the theme of Personality in Dress and Posture. Each girl in the club had some part in at least one program. An innovation in the club's work this year was the selection of a chorister, Romeldia Pyle, who directed all of the group-singing. The officers selected for the second semester were: Virginia McAuliffe, presi- dent, Betsy Dunning, vice-president, Martha Clark Kane, secretary, and Kath- erine Tipton, treasurer. During the second semester the pro- grams stressed school service and practical interpretation of the Girl Reserve Code. A lovely afternoon tea for the mothers was the most distinctly social event of the year, an Easter worship service was presented in chapel, and the close of the year was fittingly celebrated with an all-day retreat and evening candlelight service on the river bank. in a huddle Page forty-five The Senior Girl Reserve Club has accomplished a number of things of which it can well be proud. The four oiiicers of the club were elected in the spring of last year and under them the forty Girl Reserves have had many interesting programs and projects. In the fall an election of new members was held by the old members and almost forty girls were made Senior Girl Reserves. After an informal initiation, with the formal candlelight service following, the Girl Reserves started to work. A very interesting project was suggested by Mr. Koffman which resulted in the club's adopting a young girl from the Chil- dren's Faith Home. The girl, Eva, was taken to a number of movies and at Christmas time she was sent many presents. Some of them were clothes and the rest were small gifts which the girls believed she would like. Another project was one concerning Mary Lane who was ill at the Catawba Sanatorium. The girls sent . her a bed jacket and robe, then later each girl sent ' Gilmer,Pi-esifegfcgnieni her a present of some kind.

The seats also were honored with many of Kingsport's best students of all time. The Senior class was made up of one-hundred fifteen care-free but intelligent boys and girls. Most of them reached the height of their success as the close of their high school days came. They go now out into the world as citizens to carry out their ideas and to use the knowledge which has come through the past twelve years of accumulation. As Freshmen they as a whole had that usual shy but eager feeling which is characteristic of strangers in the hive. They cluttered the halls, grew in stature, decreased in their own mental opinion, and in many other ways prepared themselves to start an education. When Sophomores in 1938-39 they presented a play under the direction of Mr. Counce. This stage presentation appeared under the title Early To Bed. The next dramatic attempt came in the cold winter of the following year when this group again mounted the stage, this time for two nights to enact A Rustic Romeo, a musical comedy, under the direction of Miss Grace Bruce. This lad from the hills was brought to life as he appeared among the gala costumes of the chorus. LED BY THESE FCUR Page fmymille 3 1Xlllllll1.IllUll ' ' Agott Armstrongg E. Bailey G. Bailey ff!

The music of Billy Rush turned out to be good dessert for the turkey feast in the Civic Auditorium. The Juniors were invited in to enjoy the dance after the banquet. This marked the last social assembly of the class and as a last Word, the important members were all asked to speak a few words to their departing class. The Juniors honored the class of '41 with a farewell banquet and dance. This brought back memories of the year when this class was giving the same kind of banquet in the Civic Auditorium and also gave them a chance to express their feelings toward the boys and girls who were to succeed this-one of the best classes which has ever passed through Dobyns-Bennett High School.

'lllIl'1'U times Zl week at 11 :40 AND SUCCESS IN FUTURE FIELDS Page fiffu-Sfl' 1 President Cora Evelyn Bell Treasurer Margaret Penn Vice President Julian Hendrix Secretary Anna Mary Good THE JUNIOR PRGGRESSION Once again in September, 1939, the present Junior Class entered the halls of Dobyns- Bennett to occupy the lockers in the basement and clutter up the halls with paper and other trash. It was a pleasure for them to return to the school from which they had been absent for some eighteen months. This first visit was their four months in 1937 before the new Junior High was completed. The reappearance of these familiar faces brought sighs of despair from every veteran of the faculty, but as the months passed these became sighs of amazement at the versatility and originality of these one hundred and fifty students. Their first recognition by the upper classmen was with the presentation of Major Bill's Amateur Hour which featured the startling talent of this group under the gong of Major Bill Todd. Next, as Sophomores they presented their first successful play, J une Mad, under the able direction of Mr. Paul Counce. This play was a romantic comedy of the experiences of a group of high school students. To prove their good judgment in the choice of leaders, the Juniors of 1941 elected Cora Evelyn Bell president, Julian Hendrix, vice-president, Anna Mary Good, secretaryg and Margaret Penn, treasurer. These officers, with the assistance of their sponsor, Mr. V. H. Peterson, drew the spotlight by their activities of the year.

They chose a unique ring, with an Indian on the crest, a monogram ol' the city ot' industry on one shank, and 1942 on the opposite one. On A mril 8 ot' this vear the Juniors gave another romantic comedy entitled Young l . . April. The leads in this play were taken by Jane Shivell, Kay Helms, Oneda Brown, Ken- neth Fincher, and Karl Ketron. This very successful production was also directed by lVlr. Counce. The annual Junior Carnival was the traditional outstanding event of April 15. This year, with a theme ot' the Gay Nineties, the many pretty belles and beaux of this class brought back all the frivolity and color of the mauve decade with the many attractions of the show. t'arol t'lark S. tl.

A' This carnival was declared by faculty and students alike to be the most unusual entertain- ment ever given by a Junior Class. After the carnival the Juniors' next project was the dinner and dance for the Seniors given at the Civic Auditorium. As usual, this was the outstanding formal social function of the year: and the Seniors had the best time ever given a graduating class. On the Student Council the Juniors were well represented by Carol June Clark, W. C. Lady, and Anna Mary Good, who as outstanding members of this exceptional class devoted themselves to the welfare of the school.

The entire staff of the Indian Tribune was made up of Juniors, and a majority of the Dramatic and Debate clubs were Juniors. Three of the four band sponsors were Juniorsg and four of the vivacious cheerleaders were members ot' this versatile class. On all varsity athletic teams the Juniors were fully represented this year: and all of next year's athletic teams will be led by Juniors. Strange things do happen-that this, the group who stirred the feelings of foreboding by their entrance should three years later have won the esteem of everyone. This they did not by mere presence but by ability and genuine interest in their school.

Many colleges have profited from the excellent grade of athletes who were trained in Dobyns- Bennett. Our various teams have dominated the Big Six in all major sports events. Since 1929 our track teams have left the field with the Big Six trophy eleven times, and have won first place in State Track meets three times. Various individuals from Dobyns- Bennett now hold six state records and eleven Big Six conference records. Four times our football teams have been Big Six champions and three times co-champions. Our football teams are famous throughout the entire south as the most formidable of gridiron warriors. Our elevens, throughout the past decade, were victorious over some of the best teams from Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, West Virginia, and other states of the South. On the basketball court our teams were Big Six champs seven times. In the 1939 and 1940 seasons, our hardwood teams accomplished what no other Big Five team has: the feat of winning all their Big Six games. They were winners of the 16th District three times and placed in the regional and state meets. Every year during the Christmas vacation, our team has taken a two weeks' trip southward through South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and on into Cuba. On these trips Kingsport has defeated some of the best teams in the southeastern states, including several state champions. Our baseball teams have been diamond champs six times and have won recognition as one of the most versatile teams in East Tennessee. Although not a major sport in Dobyns- Bennett, golf is rather popular. Four times our golf teams have been Big Six winners, and once were second in the All South Interscholastic Golf Tournament. Tennis has always held a place among its rivals for another lead in spring sports. Truly athletics is important in our school development and has done much to establish our school as a producer of the finest men in Tennessee. OUR COACHES . ogy . X .

Bristol 0 The Kingsport Indians opened their 1940 football season gloriously as they scored an easy victory over the Bristol eleven. Power and speed galore were displayed by the Redskins as they ran roughshod over the weak Virginia team. Tallying at least two touchdowns every quarter, the Indians showed a varied and, at times, a brilliant offense. This attack, in which aerial thrusts, spinners, and reverses played a large part, backed by an unusually strong defense, was the basis for the victory. Twenty-six boys tasted action in this game and each gave a good account of himself. Kingsport 19 . . . Asheville 7 In an inspiring exhibition of power, speed, and deception, the Indians romped to a 19-7 victory over a highly-touted Ashe- ville high school eleven to avenge a last year's 6-6 tie. Taking command of the sit- uation from the opening whistle the In- dians played a heavier but less alert Ashe- ville team off its feet. The best team which Asheville has had in years was not good enough to stop the Dobyns-Bennett team. Doc Earles, diminutive guard, was in half the tackles made that night while Beef Mitchell's 190 pounds cleaned out the op- position for our ball carriers. -ONE LOST Kingsport 33 . . . Milligan Frosh 0 In their third straight win in which they lackadaisically disposed of a weak Milligan Frosh team 33-0, the Indians reached what Coach Rohrdanz hoped would be a new low for the season. The one outstanding feature was the passing, since twenty aerials were attempted and thirteen completed for a total of 196 yards. Reverting to spinners and reverses rarely, the Redskins stuck largely to off tackle smashes, end runs, and passes to mount up their score against the fighting but inept Baby Buffs. Barrett was on the receiving end of most of the passes thrown by Whitaker. The strength of the team was increased by the return of Ray Duncan to the team. MANAGERS Many people have watched the parade of football stars down through the years and even the lowliest substitute receives some recognition. But how many stop to think of those faithful and vital managers of a team who have their roles to play be- hind the scenes of a successful football season? These unrecognized managers had many duties to perform both on the field and in the clubhouse. To them fell the task of easing the kinks out of some ailing player's legs, to tape ankles and wrists, and above all, to keep the fieldhouse spotless. One man- ager is constantly on the practice field at- tending to balls and other equipment. The managers were always the first ones into the fieldhouse and long after each player had taken his shower, the lowly managers, the backbone of the team, might be seen gathering and hanging up wet equipment which some pampered star had strewn the length of the fieldhouse.

Erwin 7 Playing their second game away from home, a Kingsport eleven, obviously below par and apparently giving their Worst per- formance of the season, found a spirited and stubborn Erwin team all they could handle. The Erwin team played a hard driving type of football. At one time they tied the score on a blocked kickg but here a powerful Indian team came to life and seemed to show what they could accomplish by taking the kickoff and combining an ag- gressive land and air attack and marching for a touchdown. Walter Ketron, driving in fast from the weak side and catching the ball-carrier from behind, was outstanding for the Indians on defense. Kingsport 20 . . . Knoxville 7 The Indians vaulted another hurdle in their quest for an East Tennessee Cham- pionship as they vanquished the mighty Knoxville Trojans 20-7 in a bitterly con- tested game. Tied at the half 7-7, the In- dians staged one of their frequent second half comebacks to score two touchdowns and put the game on ice. It was the fine play of the team as a unit rather than individual play of any lineman or back that brought the Indians one of their most spectacular victories of the year. Denver Crawford was hurt in the first quarter but came back later to play his best game to date. Jack Ladd played an inspired game driving into . 7 ty' Dickson scores against Knoxvillt the weak side of the Knoxville line for six to seven yards each time. Kingsport 13 . . . Bristol 7 Hampered by injuries, the Indians found a Bristol Tennessee eleven the toughest thing they had run against. Only by a thrilling demonstration of unrehearsed raz- zle dazzle were the Redskins able to squirm through to a victory. Trailing 7-6 with but a few minutes to play in the fourth quarter, the Maroons suddenly came to life and marched to the 49 yard line. From here in one of the dizziest plays seen on the grid- iron this season, the Indians completed a 25 yard pass, George Peters to Carter, who lateralled to Tommy Peters who in turn lateralled to Depew, who went the rest of the way for a score. Although it was De- pew's first game of the season, he played in mid-season form. Kingsport 27 . . . Elizabethton 7 The Indians seized the 1940 Big Five grid title as a result of defeating the Betsy Cyclones 27-7. Trailing 7-0 at the end of the first quarter, the Maroons scored three touchdowns in the second quarter and held the Cyclones scoreless for the remainder of the game as the Indians won their fourth Big Five title in six years. Hal Morley, converted from tackle to fullback, played an excellent offensive game while Earles, Bell, and Crawford held up the forward wall. Hep! Hep!

C.. 13 Hopes ot' an undefeated season for the Kingsport Indians were destroyed and their chain of wins broken at nine, as a Dobyns- Bennett eleven succumbed to the North Carolina State Champions. The Lexington Yellow Jackets' powerhouse seemed to have an answer for everything that the Indians attempted. Four times in the first half the Indians drove to the Lexington 20 yard line, but seemed to lack the punch to carry the pigskin over the double stripes. Vicious and well-timed blocking, along with a higher morale, paved the way for the Lex- ington victo1'y. The game was played in the snow and cold. When Kingsport's run- ning attack failed, numerous passes dropped from the numb iingers of the ends. Kingsport 32 . . . Charleston, W. Va., 7 The Indians wound up their 1940 sched- ule with a stunning 32-7 victory over the highly regarded Charleston, W. Va., Lions. Entering the game as underdogs, the In- dians, led on by fourteen seniors playing their last game on the Dobyns-Bennett field, turned in their best and most im- pressive game as Junior Whitaker, playing inspired ball, provided the spearhead of the attack. Dickson at fullback and John Bell at center played a super game, while Biles stopped thrust after thrust through the forward wall. The Kingsport eleven showed themselves clearly to be the su- perior of the Charleston team, rated the toughest on the hardest schedule a Kings- port team has ever completed.

Sells, GUR PAPOOSES For the first time in the history of the school the freshmen this year had a team of their own, one that was in no way connected with the B Team. This enabled them to gain much more playing experience and quickened their step to the varsity. This movement was greeted with much enthusiasm as was shown by a squad of 20 boys from the Freshman class. Under this plan many more boys of Dobyns-Bennett are able to take part in football. The freshman team completed their schedule with 3 wins and 2 loses, a very successful season for this newly formed group of boys many of whom were playing their first organized football. F Jim Crum.

The In- dians enjoyed a very successful season and easily won every meet in which they partici- pated. In the U. T. Field Day nearly every boy taking part came home with one or more medals which he had won for his achieve- ments in running, jumping, or weight throw- ing. The highlight of the season was a tele- graph meet with Selma, Alabama, in which results of the individual time trials were sent by telegraph to each team. The absence of many of the stars due to graduation, marriage, and the National Guards is expected to weaken the 1941 squad.

Page sc ucnty-seven HARDWOOD BRAVES Living up to standard, the Kingsport hardwood team of 1941 was perhaps the best ever to wear the Maroon and Grey trunks of a Dobyns-Bennett five. Winning twenty-six and losing only seven games in a schedule featuring some of the best teams in Tennessee and surrounding states is a record of which the 1941 Indians may be justly proud. Winning their first game against Pound by a comparatively large score, the Indians marched on undefeated for nine games, finally losing a hard fought game to the University of Havana, Cuba. This year the team made their annual trip through North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and down into Cuba. This trip was made during the Christmas holidays. when the boys spent seventeen days visiting some of the historic places in the South. Jack- sonville, 1940 Florida champs, was one of the many versatile fives played. One of the high- lights of the trip was the witnessing of the Orange Bowl football game by the entire team. In Big Five competition, the previous year's record-not losing a game-was duplicated as the Indians ran roughshod over each opponent. Our record in the East Tennessee League was not so good, however, as that of the preceding year as we lost several thrillers by narrow margins. In the Fifteenth District Tournament, which was played on different courts due to a new system installed this year, the Indians, still unable to defeat a three years' jinx, lost to Bluff City in the semi-finals. Thus the team, which at the beginning of the season had rated a place as the leading contender for the state crown, was out of the running altogether.

Page seventy-eight Several records were broken by the team during the 1941 season. Tommy Peters, our tall, lithe forward, broke the individual scor- ing record for one year by racking up 463 points and also broke the record for all time scoring as he made 810 points in his career as a varsity man. The team also broke the team record for scoring with a total of 1235 points made during the season. The average per game was 37.42. The 1942 team should be greatly weakened with the loss of seven sen- iors from the squad, but with expert coaching and plenty of team spirit another Kingsport winner should be produced.

B HOOP RING-ERS Winning sixteen and losing only two games, the B team completed a very successful 1941 season. The only game lost in Big Five B competi- tion Was to the Johnson City team in a fast overtime period. This game was later avenged on our own court by a top heavy score. The team did not enter a B team tournament as none was held in this section. As eight seniors graduate from the varsity, many of these boys will take the Hoor as another winning Kingsport five in 1942.

This team consisted of boys who had not had previous experience. The team played many other high school Freshman teams as well as participating in many practices with the varsity and B team. Under the new set-up, with their separate organization under the direction of Mr. Johnson, many better and more experienced players are expected for future varsity teams. 1911 Record Kingsport., 17 Sullivan , ,i,,. 21 Kingsport, ., 26 Piney Flats ,, 21 Kingsport... ,, C10 Piney Flats 14 Kingsport, . 21 Bristol ,. ,,.t 26 Kingsport .... 49 Bristol . .... 8 Kingsport .... 28 Bristol ,,,.,,, ...,., 1 5 Kingsport ,,,, -14 Bristol ..,,.t.., .... .,,, 5 Kingsport ,,,,... 44 Holston Institute .,,.. 16 Kingsport 28 Erwin ,, ,,,, , ,.... , 11 Kingsport , 3.2 Holston ., . ,. .19 Kingsport 21 Holston ., i,,,,,,,.,. .,i.,.,,., ,,.. . . , , 7 Kingsport ,, 18 E.

BIRDIE SHOOTERS During the 1940 meeting of the Big Five ofiicials golf was taken from the list of Big Five sports. As a result of this there was an extreme difiiculty in scheduling matches for the season. The only matches played were two with Morristown-one of which was rained out, the other lost by a close score. However the 1941 team with most of the veterans back is expected to win a large per cent of its matches. This team, further strengthened by its new members, should distinguish itself as one of Dobyns-Bennett's best golf teams. The team has started practice early in the season and, under the instruction of Mr. Peterson, should be greatly improved by the time of its first match. For the 1941 season, two contests have been scheduled with each of the following teams: Morristown, Tennessee Military Institute, Knoxville High, Greeneville, Bristol, Tennessee, and Charleston, West Virginia. 1941 Squad Mr. Peterson, coach, Bobby Cross, L.

Twelve times during the 1940 baseball season did the Kingsport hurlers walk from the mound in victory and only four times in honorable defeat. Blessed with a number of good pitchers, and backed by brilliant fielding and hitting, the Indians did not lose a game in Big Five competition. As most of the players are back this season, the team should be compara- tively strong and have a very succesful year.

Page eighty-sian NOON ATHLETICS The Intramural program, in its initial year, met with much enthusiasm in the different homerooms chiefly because it included not only the boys but the girls as well. Each noon many hungry and wildly cheering spectators gathered to witness the various athletic con- tests, many of which were more closely con- tested than our varsity confiicts. Johnson's homeroom was the winner of 1939-40 trophy with a grand total of 1206 points which it accumulated by winning track and ping pong. This homeroom also finished second in softball. Many more points were gained by substituting boys, by winning three places in the cross country, and by the num- ber of games won in basketball, volleyball, and softball. Carson came second with 986 points, having won first place in softball and finishing second in volleyball, horseshoes, and track. Third place was gained by Springer, with a total of 878 points. Wylie's homeroom man- aged to place fourth with 811 points. The intramural program, this year con- ducted in the same manner as last year, has improved as all second year projects do. The homerooms have been backing their teams to the limit, and more boys have participated in the different events. Boys who were newly enrolled in school and those who came from Junior High were divided equally among the homerooms, and transfers from other schools were likewise drafted into the various rooms. Carson's room was champs of touchfootball and was immediately in the lead of the 1940- 41 season. In basketball the rooms were divided into two leagues. A round robin tour- nament was played with Carson's winning one league and Wylie's tieing with Johnson for the lead in the other. The first four teams in each league then held a playod with Johnson emerging the winner while Bruce shot second. At present, with softball, volleyball, track, and other sports to be played, Johnson holds a none too secure lead, with 685 points while Carson and Bruce are fighting it out for sec- ond place. Since this year's program is much better planned and has the advantage of a year's experience, the intramural league is much more interesting to the players as well as to the spectators. It provides a method by which boys who are not quite experienced enough to make the varsity may take part in the ath- letics of their choice. And we thought football players worked hard. inanpmnmumnumn umnnnlnmn Furniture Rugs J 011115011-Gelltry Brown Milling COIIIIJZIIIY Furniture C0- Johnson City, Tennessee 119 W- Market St- Ranges - Electrical Appliances ummm-mnun-nulununmmnnnnnannuananmmununnumnmn HOLSTON DRUG CO.

Both began as masses of snowy cellulose acetate flakes made in the Tennes see Eastman plant. Some of the flakes were dissolved and spun into acetate rayon yarn. More of them were combined with plasticizer to become Tenite. From this point they trav- eled a different road . . .the yarn going to a textile mill to be woven into yards of beautiful faille taffeta . . . the Tenite to an injection molding plant to be molded by powerful machines into the shape of a football helmet, a stronger, lighter helmet than we've had before. At last, like so many Eastman products, they are back for a school reunion, one worn by the belle of the prom, the other by her classmate on the gridiron.
