DIRECTORS QF GUR TRAINING The regulation of democratic freedom in our educational system rests in the able hands of the six members of our school board. Their interest and concern in supervising our schools have made them worthy of the praise they have so often received. This group of civic-minded and truly American citizens selects the teachers and equipment which are utilized in making the young people of Kingsport into goof! AlI1!'l'fC'tIlIS, ready to take the responsibility of their country on their strong, young shoulders. Since nineteen hundred and eighteen Kingsport schools have increased from one frame build- ing to seven modern brick schools. The members of the Board of Education have been exception- ally efficient and have served an average of sixteen years. Five of them are selected by the Mayor, and they in turn select a secretary. Here is a vote of thanks for the helpful leadership of these six members of our Board of Education. Miss Blizzard and Mrs. Brown, our secretaries, are greatly respons- ible for the smooth-running of our 1 school. Along with their other sec- retarial duties, they have the task of keeping our records and cor- respondence in order. . .,,, .. .M ROSS N. ROBINSON, SIlI7l'l'ilIft'I1H'L'lIf OUR CHIEF OF STAFF It can be truly said that upon the shoulders of this man lies the responsibilities of leader of the Kingsport schools to their best interest. It is he who leads the student activities and studies of all the schools in our city. Besides his regular duties, he takes personal interest in the problems of our school. Through his kindness and interest, he has led many students through a difficulty. He has helped to install in the minds and hearts of the students a sense of the patriotic privilege and duty they have to their country. He is, indeed, a great leader. Probably the best way to show the abilities of our Superintendent is to name some of the offices he holds. As a school administrator his membership in such groups as the Tennessee Ifducation Association, American Association of School Administrators, President of Public School Officers, and past-president of the lfast Tennessee Education Association has given Kingsport schools a high standard and a higher recognition throughout the South. Yfithin these Q 1 walls knowledge is increased and WN- X character is being developed. -' 'ar :vs : ll? E A message to the To the home for affecting an and ideals which forefathers.

The efforts of this and every American high school to develop this type of youth can be definitely evaluated during this critical period of our country. Our first objective this year has been to know our part and to help our country win this war. Certain phases of our school life have been changed, but our efforts have been to continue as ngrmally as possible to fit each of us to accept and execute any duty that our country may ask in either war or peace. ,x If We are very proud of the scores of former D.ZQg HV'SJ students who are now serving in the armed forces of our c n y,and feel sure that when the call comes for others that they wfilys ow a likef response.

W .10 wflfflomi A TO PPRECIATE O R HERITAGE At the present time educators are realiz- ing more and more the value of history in the view of the international situation. His- tory is becoming less and less the mere story of a formal textbook and more a correlation between the past and the present. This department, ranging from Ancient History to Sociology, emphasizes our Ameri- can principles of democracy and teaches our students to appreciate the fundamental lib- erties for which they are fighting. It helps the student to understand this complicated modern world which he must soon face. The rapid advances in scientihc and technical knowledge, the development of an intricate system of the lives of millions. A national calamity fa flood, earthquake, a iirej as a man-made calamity fan international warj may bring starvation and panic to millions of human beings. All these things are studied from a logical modern point of View under the able assistance of the four instructors in this department. Indeed, the history depart- ment helps our students face their citizen- ship in our United States of America better prepared. By instilling within them the knowledge of what is right, this department prepares our students to solve the intricate problems of sociology and economics they will have to face. When a student has com- pleted the social science course of our high school, he is ready to become a voting mem- ber of the democratic population.

The study of general biology is supplemented by '1 semes- ter of Zoology and one of botany. In addition to these subjects an excellent and most inter- esting course in geology is offered. The country surrounding Kingsport offers A ij 5, fl! l H so much additional practical information to the student that field trips are added to the eourses to make the subject more interesting The industrial aspects of our city also make the study of physles and chemistry much more profitable In the course of socul ehemistry emphasis is placed upon the practical applica- tion of science in industry' while those who study for college entrance requirements take regular chemistry and get '1 more thorough study of theory. All the courses have labora- tory work which creates active interest and gives the students 1 chance to show their me- chanical abilities. MR. ELLIOTT, gmloyvy rbcnz- ixlry, Jlzysifs. MR.

To provide for students who will assume civic responsibilities Without college training, as well as for those who secure professional training, the math courses have been divided into two sections. The first consists of Commercial Math-including commercial arithmetic, bookkeeping, and algebra. The other course, for college preparation, consists of algebra, geometry, both solid and plane, trigonometry, and a course of college algebra for students who plan to enter college the next year. This course offers a complete review of the first two years of algebra, as well as the inclusion of advanced work approaching college level. Any student may elect the two years of algebra offered. Besides these elective courses of mathematics, a full-year course of general math is given for freshmen who need orientation before choos- ing either branch of the specialized courses. This year the Math department has been even more popular than before, especially with boys who plan to go into engineering or air corps training. The five instructors of this department have done excellent work, they have increased the interest of the practical-minded student by soliciting actual business problems for class work. Their constant aim is to teach students the art of thinking carefully, an ideal to be sought in any walk of life or industry.

MISS CRIDLIN, Sfmnixb and Ivzuzfr Our Iinglish department probably does more than any other single agency to make patriotic Americans of the students of our school. Through our democratic language, We learn to be worthy of our democratic freedom. In an effort to interpret the society in which students find themselves, the curriculum takes them back into the past, making a study of the great epochs of social advance, for the purpose of revealing how our society has come to assume the present form. In this study, the contribu- tions of the nations of the past to man's cul- tural development-to art, to architecture, to music, to literature-are related to the time of which they are an expression. Without forcing a connection between the history and the litera- ture, the natural unity between the two is estab- lished. When read in connection with a study of the people whose life and time it reflects, literature may be made more intelligible and more en- joyable. This is an important and appropriate use of literature, often opening the doors to imaginative participation in the life of the peo- ple studied, and thus becoming a strong factor in creating appreciation of contribution and heritage of their own people to the culture of the world which the student will inherit. The students are ofTered a comprehensive study of both grammar and literature. The great literature of both America and England is taught in the Junior and Senior years. The under-classmen spend their time on grammar and development of speech along with an in- troduction to Shakespeare and Scott.

Only the movement to the reference room and li- brary at the beginning of the period breaks the silence. The entire room, crowded though it is, has an inviting atmosphere, with its new shades, wall posters, and shiny new desks re- hnished by the woodworking classes. Anyone in the front section to the li- brary, starts a stream of students to the hustle and bustle of the library. A new card catalogue has been placed in the library for the convenience of the students. A student Hle enables the student to keep up with the books he has out so that he may return them on time. The library caters to the demands of the student. By being a member of several of the current book clubs, it gives the student access to the recent books as well as to the classics. There is a wide selection of books other than fiction offered for student use. There is a particularly extensive supply of material available on vocational choices for seniors. To the less studious pupils a study hall is a forty-five minute period of enjoyment and entertainment. From the fifty-six magazines and Eve current newspapers, a student may derive enjoyment and still learn something. These periodicals may be obtained at the rear of the study hall. Another division of the study department is the reference room. Here a student has ac- cess to all the encyclopedias and reference books. Here, also are the latest dictionaries. A vertical file of current material is kept, and, also for the faculty, there is a shelf where teachers may reserve books for specific assign- ments. ,Q ' I ll l .

ARCHITECTS A MECHANICS QF TO ORRGW ln the drafting room and the workshop boys are dem- onstrating their ability to do things well with their hands. Page sirleezz The courses of the Industrial Arts Department make up one of the best vocational departments in any school. The students of home and auto mechanics learn to do professionally the numerous jobs in every- day living. The mechanical and architectural draft- ing courses have led many of our students to choose engineering as their future field of endeavor. The wood-Work department has sent forth many fine prod- ucts in cabinet work. Probably the most inspiring thing our school has heard from the Industrial Arts Department is the call for boys to build model airplanes for our government. Certainly if a course can offer chances for its students to help their country in such a necessary field, it is doing its patriotic duty and preparing many fine citizens. The two instructors of this department are certainly to be admired for their excellent work in so ably preparing the architects and mechanics of to- morrow. From the work done in these classes, one can begin to appreciate the fact that the use of the hands is important as Well as the use ofthe head. Since the classes are double periods, the students are given enough individual help to make the course even more instructive. It would profit any student to take ad- vantage of the chances offered by the Industrial Arts Department to use hand and head.

The glee clubs also presented several assembly programs and led the assembly in group-singing. The Music Department introduced new talent to the students through these assembly programs and at the same time trained the boys and girls for public appearances. With the cooperation of the local radio station, WKPT, pro- grams have been broadcast from the school stage. The band under the direction of Professor S. T. Witt set a new pace for future musicians by its splendid performances, on the football field, in assembly, and on parade. Through music the students are allowed to express themselves in the patriotic marches and songs that are so appropriate at this time. The morale of the nation today largely depends on the spirit and enthusiasm that its people get from singing and hearing its national anthem and other truly American compositions. Appearances before the school assembly by a division of the music department are an assur- ance of good programs, and made this department one of the most popular organizations in the school. ral Mum gf I W 25 Q R ,j-1-ie A11l6I'1C3H1SfI'1 Taught and Appreuated Un us thlt lxbgrty VSIIILII IS of sugh 1 kmd IS :rms mn Ilk.lIhLl prmung nur mx IS vmmm zum s Jus of mmf me un Iturltud XIFIUQ slllll him lun imp root I1 INHIHL mc lui tum vu not omg bg VKlI'lEll1Q.,UllL who wll snltdw from xou bx trmghurx vx ut yc u hue lgqulrcd bx IFINS u A .1 I r rn mrmfm n Q - T x Q .ull I , - 4-7 i' ' ' - A 6, JI' 1 ', ' I' A I ' L 1 .

P Q33 t i i On the basis of four fundamentals for an education: leadership, character, service to the school, and scholarship, the faculty of Dobyns-Bennett elected eighteen members of this class to be the members of the National Honor Society for the year 1941-42. As the final social function of the year 1941, the junior class played host to the Seniors with .1 dinner-dance at the Civic Auditorium. The graduation theme carried out in decorations and programs encouraged even the weakest soulsg tiny diplomas were mementoes of the grand occasion. AND THIQN THIZY WERE SENIORS . . . Mr. Peterson, the class sponsor had to leave in the middle of a busy year, and Mr. Swanson took over the responsibilities of this strenuous job, with Ralph Deck, class prexy, as his able and dynamic assistant. The Senior play this year was really a knock-out. A waluable addition to our music department was the new Hammond electric organ which was installed in our auditorium last year. Beatrice Dail, our Senior organist. has entertained us many times at assembly. The organ is being paid for by the students through the sale of magazines. I -' CI-QCII.

The Senior program, given on March 27, to reimburse the treasury of rhe Senior class was the result of many struggles and hours of hard work on the part of the directors, Oneda Brown, Cora Bell, Coy Chambers, Poggy Penn, Jane Shivell, Lynnie Cox and Ralph Deck. As a plot, many themes were discussed: The patriotic, downtown New York, Deep in the Heart of Texas and a score of others: but one by one they were discarded for various reasons. Until, Hnally, the plot was decided. A combination of all these ideas produced the most colossal show in rhe history of Kingsport High School. The old frame stadium. the familiar scene of many spectacular athletic encounters, is now .1 thing of the past. lr has been removed in favor of the modern Iohnson Ilarls and now the bleachers that once rose high against the haclxground of an ad-covered fence are no more.

'Four ears'agd, one vgpuld have little guessed that such a carefree group of youngsters as this, would evelop into this group of mature, thinking individuals well versed in the world affairs, models of chapel decorum and masters in the art of two-seconds preparation of excuses. On june 1, 1942 the most serious of all graduations in the records of this school was witnessed. On this evening our faithful Seniors suddenly acquired their full inheritance-the right to blaze again the trail which generations before have beaten-the way of life, liberty, and the demo- cratic pursuit of happiness. And as a farewell is said, Dobyns-Benentt may congratulate herself and be glad that in 1942 she sent on their Way one hundred and twenty healthy, intelligent young citizens who embody the ideals of the democratic way of life. One of the most interesting eyents in the intra- mural program of last year was the Turkey Race, which was held the xyeeli before Thanksgiving, and giving dinner. as an extra prize besides the points for his home room, the winner was given .1 turlsey for his Thanks- MARGARETTE PEPPERS, Library 1, 2, 3, 4.

Also we notice that their participation in activities was expanded greatly during the Sophomore year. Two Student Council chairs were held by Charles Church and Kenneth Cox: the Beta Club was almost totally made up of these honor roll Sophs, and Brown Hughes was the valuable photographer for the Annual Stafgf. The boys began to show their vigor in football, on the Cinder path, the tennis court, and the baseball diamond: one-half of the B basketball team was com- posed of Sophs. The girls were also active in sports, many of them! belonging to the Girls, Athletic Association. The Sophomore Class under the sponsorship ofNNQ1ss Margaret Butler, completed a very active and successful year. l lj J Madge Anderson George Bennett Dottie Bright Mary Carter Athalee Arnott ,lane Billingsley Hagan Bright Shirley Caron Louis Bailey XY'alter Boggs Bill Brown Lucille Cavin I Y a if ' X x Elizabeth Barnes Bette Bond Bonnie Cannon Jimmie Chambers Jane Beals Wiriifrecl Bralley Marjorie Carroll Charles Church Roma Bellamy Lillian Bridwell Fvelyn Carter Marjorie , Q ,eq 'I' MildredCloninger Mary Davis Darius Eaton Mary Crosclose Next, as juniors beginning their most eventful year, this group showed their good judg- ment in selecting ,lack McConnell president, Aleene Morris vice-presidentg Grace jean Lyons secretary: and Charles McNeil treasurer. Miss Zita Bellamy was the sponsor until Christmas when Miss Margaret Butler became sponsor. Under the sponsorship of Miss But- ler, this class successfully seryed the school in that its members took part in all activities, and Hot only that, they were as a whole very studious. The Hrst of their long list of projects was the Junior Play, Meet Uncle Sally, a modern comedy which rnet everyone's ap- proval and thoroughly delighted the audience at both performances given on the nights of March twelfth and thirteenth, this was proved by the fact that even the back rows rocked with laughter. The leads were well done by Aleene Morris as Lvncle Sally, Louis Bailey as Ben Blaine and Patsy Sutherland as Betty Blaine. Don Thompson and Grace jean Lyons are to be remembered for their Swedish accent in playing the butler and the cook. The other leads were taken by Nell Ring, Bob'Bennett, Anne Hineke, Lyons West- moreland, Roma Bellamy, and Spencer Leonard. The class is to 'be congratulated for its fine production, the climax of the dramatic year of 1941.-1942.

'YD .K-X 'Q X X Late in February, the class officers with a commit- tee composed of Claire Dodd, Nell Ring, Grace Jean Lyons, Aleene Morris, Otho Smith, W. C. Lady, Bob Neal, and Charles Church, selected the 1943 class ring. A beautiful ring was chosen which had DBI-IS and 1943 surrounded by a wreath on the crest. Oval in shape, the ring had the insignia of the City of In- dustry on one shank and an Indian head on the other. These are the traditional designs. The annual Junior Carnival was the outstanding event of Friday night, April the seven- teenth. It went over exceedingly well. The originality of the class and Mr. Kirby, the di- rector, was used in selecting the patriotic theme. Many soldiers, nurses, and sailors ap- peared and they did not lack enthusiasm one bit. The King, portrayed by Uncle Sam, and the Queen, portrayed by Liberty, were perfect and were well in keeping with the theme, as well as were the four stage shows which included patriotic skits, many patriot? song I RLL M and grand old American fun.

The proceeds were used to give the Seniors a lovely banquet and dance. This final project was given at the Civic Auditorium during the latter part of May. This was the most outstanding social function of the year and the Seniors acknowledged that at this banquet and dance they had the best of all their good times in high school. The Juniors as well as their guests had a good time at the dance, which preceded .1 stage pro- gram. In this fashion, the vigorous Junior class wound up a most successful year and are deserving of all praises. This year three Juniors+XY'. C. Lady, Charles Church, and Anne Hincke-represented their class well on the Student Council. The boys of this class did their part toward the football, basketball, baseball, and track teams. The majority of our A colorful school band was Juniors: this elass was also well represented on the annual staff by Charles Church, lflizabeth Barnes, and Nell Ring. The clubs were well filled with Juniors, some of which were the Modern Language Club, Future Business Leaders of America, Beta Club, Science Club and Journal Club.

Like the knights of old whose emblem they wear, the members of the Student Council stand for self- control, leadership, courtesy, service to others, and devotion to the welfare of the school community. Under the assistance of Miss Ramer, the faculty advisor, the Student Council has continued the two services it sponsored last year. The office crew still carries on its helpful work at the information desk in the ofhceg and the lost and found department has returned a large number of missing articles. In addition to these services, the council has been re- sponsible for the school clinic. A student nurse is present during all school hours to assist those who become ill. The Student Council has also sponsored dance classes for the boys to help them to enjoy more the school dances. Probably the biggest thing the Council under- took this year was the clean-up campaign which they conducted in the fall. To gain the desired re- sults a chart was placed in all the rooms, and a daily record was kept of the cleanliness of each room. By the end of the week there was marked improvement in this weakness of our school. The aim of the Council is to help in making the school life of all students as worth while and happy as possible. By raising the morale and citizenship of Dobyns-Bennett and by affording representation to the students, this group points the way to the civilian defense of our country. By keeping ever before the students the example of their freedom, it is an existing symbol of their free heritage which they must learn to appreciate.

The club has one evening meeting each month at the home of some club member. Very interesting programs are held on French and Spanish customs. This year much time has been spent in the study of great French and Spanish men and cities. Each year Miss Crid- lin, the sponsor, conducts one program during which she tells of her interesting travels through France. The main object of the club is to learn to appreciate these two countries through their languages. To become a member of the club, a student must have a high scholastic average. New mem- Besides the formal studies of the for- eign languages, the club members combine humor with research. Here some of the members are studying a Spanish melody. Page forty-six 'i .ff-4 bers are taken in during October and Feb- ruary. For initiation the aspirants are required to give a speech or Write a theme in the lan- guage which they are studying. The biggest event of the year is the annual picnic. On this occasion all conversation is in Spanish or French. The club is self-support- ing through its food and candy sales. A great responsibility rests on the shoulders of the modern language studentsg it is their duty and privilege to keep other students in- formed about conditions in Spanish and French-speaking countries. They must per- form a patriotic duty by keeping aglow the light of friendship between our land and those lands whose tongues our students have learned to speak. .gy fl. ,4 l ,V x . . . , A y - 1 , , A El l'ronL Row Xxrgmna Doane Nlargaret Ann Penmng Susan Pecktol Nlary Robnrson Kathcrxne Tlpton Nlartha Clark Kane Charlyne Fdwards oannc Allen Nancy Parker Aleene Morrls Seeond ion Charles Chureh Patsy Sutherland Graee Ixons X1rj.,m1a Neal Anne Hmeke Dxek Broekman Rxehard MeCon nell Hujeh Rule Alma Iutsler Thnrd Row Ievus Hall tan Drurx Audrey Palmer Betsy Durnlns, Rowera Hoge Nell Rmj, Flnlabeth Barnes K nneth Bmeham Ralph Deck I-ourth Rovu ohn I Cox Alun NIeCurlx Kenneth Cox Bob Neal Don Thompson Bull Todd Jaek NleConnell Paul Non Bramer Nlax NLldIj,l1 Thomas Pruxtt r nm Broekman STATE LEADERS AGAIN Orgamzed wxth the objectlves of honesty, leadershlp, and seruce the Beta Club has fin lshed IIS third successful year The advlsory program for whlch the SCDIOFS are responsnble was begun xn anuary Its purpose IS to en able the new students to become more qulck ly a v1tal part of the student pronram A servrce project wh1ch the members of the school parucularly enjoyed was the exchangmg Club The Erwm program was here on De cember 1 and the Kmgsport program 1n Erwln on February 5 Last sprmg, a qu st1onna1re was fxlled out by each student ID an attempt to measure hon esty , one of the two natxonal objectives of the year Thls ns eonsldered a major weakness m our school, the report was a conhrmatlon of thus faet At the begmnmg of the second semester, the jumor Beta Club whlch had been dlscussed and planned for three years, was orgamzed under the sponforshxp of Hlzabeth Barnes XV1thm a short tjme, lf began the eollectlon ef phc nograph reee rdf both for defense and to obtam reeords for the school In attempt VISIIOYS from t e Erxx n club Pres dent Neal meets mth com nltle mg to do lts part for th war effort d f n ' stamps were sold under the dxrectlon cf the club Exery member contrlbuted to th X c tory Book Campalgn Enghteen members lttended the Stat' eon wcntlen It lxlashull cn larch J Zl wx r lm Brockm ln, state nee presldent, presxded es er the dlscusslon group Kxngsport tc ok both honor gn en at the content on The hrst 1 twenty Hx e dollar prlze for an orehestratxon, dlnce Ind solo presented on stunt mght The seeond, vs 1 the Achxex ement Cup, reeen ed Ior the seeond wear Our elub IS th only elub ln the state to haxe recen ed thls avx ard EWICC Page Im fy sezefz 5 X a .L j I I f I lo t A 'z ' ' -, .

E. Swan- son, the debate club had a most constructive season. About twenty members debated the ques- tion: Resolved That eyery able-bodied male citizen should have one year of full time mili- tary training before attaining the present draft age. In Salem, Asheville, Emory and Henry College, and Kingsport, our debaters partici- pated in over 200 debates. At the Emory and Henry Washingtoii Memorial Tournament on February 20-21 Kingsport placed first above 42 other teams in debate. To the Student Congress ofthe Appalachian District held on December 12-13, the Kings- port N. F. L. chapter sent Senators Todd, Kane and Neal, and Representatives Dickson, Pruitt, and Routh. Mr. Swanson acted as speaker of the Senate. Of the four bills passed by both houses, two were introduced by Doby'ns-Ben- nett Congressmen. Thomas Pruitt, Jr., was elected as Jr. Clerk of the House and Virginia Neal was elected as one of the two senators representinv this district at the National Stu- dent Congress to be held in Madison, Wiscon- sin. Participation in the Student Congress not only gaye the debaters practical experience in the operation of a democracy but also increased their understanding and appreciation of the problems facing this nation. This year, six members of the Kingsport Debate Club became eligible for membership in the National Forensic League. To climax the debate year, Bill Todd and Thomas Pruitt won the State Debate Cham- pionship in Knoxville on April 18.

The 14th year of the Hi-Y got under way in September when the new mem- bers of the Junior class were initiated at Bays Mountain. The club at the first of the semester met during the seventh period on Mondays. This was inconvenient because of the interference with classesg therefore, the meetings were held twice each month with these meetings on Tues- day night. Many interesting speakers enriched the club programs with such current topics as, The Present War Situation and Life of a Buck- Private. Several religious talks were brought by ministers. Their project of the year was to get the names of all past Hi-Y members who are in the service of the Navy or Army and Write to them. Also a Christmas basket was given to a needy family. Another accomplishment was that of sending several members to the Hi-Y conference. The chief topics in the panel discussions were boy and girl relationships and the bad points of poolrooms. The membership of this club is not limited except that only Juniors and Seniors are ac- cepted. Mr. Counce, the faculty adviser, has worked with boys for several years and understands youth and its need for such a constructive or- ganization as the Hi-Y.

It has done much to create a school spirit and interest in school activities. This year the bi-monthly Indian Tribune has been distributed to all the students free of charge at the school. The club has paid for the printing and other expenses through advertisements. The paper has been made more interesting this year because of the increase in editorials and feature stories. This organization has broadened its activities, from just putting out a paper to a meeting each Tuesday in which techniques of journalism are discussed to the great advantage of all the members. Thelma Scutt served as first semester editor and Don Thompson assumed the responsibility of editorship the second semester The club is doing its patriotic duty along with the rest in devot ing much of its space to editorials on defense and feature stories which tend to build up the morale of the school It is also the best means for enlightening the average student upon the activities in the school in which he can participate and do his part for America PROMOTERS OF SCHOOL SPIRIT Books art ignortd when Ixilgort ind Thompson the tireu lation managtrs distribute the Tribune L 4 . . t . t Q ' 1 t . . .

The 1941 staff of the Maroon and Grey, in winning the A11-American award, passed on to the present staff a difficult challenge to equal their achievement. They began to strive toward this goal when in September a staff of nineteen members was chosen by the sponsor, Mr. Paul Elliott. First the dummy was laid outg and then the staff Went into a huddle and came out with a unique theme. To do their part toward strengthening the morale of a country in war, they chose a patriotic theme and endeavored in every Way to portray the American way in the publication. With the foundation laid, the assignments were distributed and the advertising managers began to search the town for ads. The write-ups began to come in and were carefully examined. Then they were either passed back to the Writer for improvement or relayed to the typists. All this time pictures of the activities, teachers, clubs and classes were being made. Finally, all the advertisements were ing all write-ups Hnishedg all pictures takeng and the book was in the hands of the engraver and printer. The staff breathed a sigh of relief and hoped and prayed their efforts would blend the 1942 yearbook into a publication that would never be forgotten. ,-Xdvertising K1.1n.1Lt'ers: Valda .Xssistant ldirors: Katherine -I-SP1SlXI .Iohnnie Stone Nell Rin-'. llile R11 ' T' f Yi' JJ' ,J D+ ,J . ,Q l 1 X Q 1 V lou Dick.

M'EOf:imeii, Kowcn FRIENDS CF CAESAR A new club has entered the activity list of Dobyns-Bennett this year. The Junior Clas- sical League is a club for the students of Latin in our school. As a member of the Junior Classical League, each student is pledged to hand on the torch of classical civilization to the modern world. Because the club is so new, it has done lit- tle in the way of actual activity this year, but it offers a chance of mutual study and ap- preciation to the Latin students of the school. They can study the government and the po- litical system of great Rome and discover the great similarity between the ancient Romans and the Americans of today. They learn to appreciate the greatest authors of all times and discover the great passages of literature and mythology in their reading of Cicero, Virgil, Ovid, and Horace. This club offers the literary, classical touch to the activity system of our school which seems to soften somewhat the hustle and bustle of the active, business-like Journal Club, Business Club and others. Laurcna Billington, the club president, confers with Miss Mountjoy regarding one of the monthly programs. DISTRIBUTORS OF HIGHER KNOWLEDGE This club is the first to offer its services to the school in the fall and the last to close ac- tivities in the spring. It fulfills at all times its duty by giving the students and faculty the best in Fact and Fiction. On the first Tuesday night in each month a meeting is held at the home of a member where all members are free to voice any com- plaints or offer suggestions to trouble arising in magazine or library work. The Library Club has greatly increased the interest of the students in its work this year by presenting a chapel program reviewing some of the best books, and by having reviews in every school paper. Another asset is the addition of a new card catalog for the con- venience of everyone. By belonging to such modern book clubs as the Book-of-the-Month- Club, the club keeps the newest books avail- able, as well as the classics. In keeping with the patriotic theme of all school activities the library did its part by hav- ing a V for Victory book campaign, to collect books to send to the soldiers in camp. It was most effective and many books were collected. This club certainly ought to be thanked for its fine work in making activities in Study Hall, Library, and the Reference Room move efiiciently and for keeping both the great lit- erature and the most modern newspapers with- in the reach of all.

They have carried out to the highest degree their motto: Act well your part, there all the honor liesf' Indeed many deserve honor this year. To gain membership in the organization, a student must have at least ten acting points and five service points for stage work. These service points and later study in club work in- troduce the members to other sides of back- stage life besides actual acting. They learn the art of make-up and direction as well as acting. The club opened its season with the presenta- tion of The Crumbs That Fall for British War Relief on October 21. The play was of a serious nature with Bill Todd and Kay Helms in the leads of a complete male cast. The play was a huge success and was later taken to the Rotary Club and the Junior High School. I' if ACT WELL YOUR PART In keeping with the patriotic theme of the activities of our school this year, the club pre- sented its next play for the American Red Cross. The Biblical play Betrayal was pre- sented February 2 with Ralph Deck in the lead as Judas. This play was later given at the Broad Street Methodist Church. National Drama Week, which was held February 9-16 was a very active week for the club. Betrayal was presented over the radio, and a skit from Sl1akespeare's Romeo and Julieti' giving several new members their chance for this debut was also presented on February 13. On April 20, Lynnie Cox presented a com- edy which she had directed. The proceeds of this show Went to the club. That night the play was giv n before the members of the American i n. if Rf. ll k V.

The club began its year with interest' ing programs on Relations W' l ' L it 1 South America ' as its theme. With the new semester the sub- ' QQ ,Y ject was changed to Current Events so that the members might be better informed on the war. The activities of the club have centered around a patriotic th' tme. The members com- piled a list of all the former graduates of this school who are now in the armed forces. They also collected postage stamps for the D. A. R.

Along with these activities, the club made a list of all the activities in school to give to members of the faculty to help avoid conflict in afternoon schedules. They also presented a variety show, a radio program on the ideals ofthe Honor Society, and made candy for sev- eral sales. The most important step the group took this year was their visit to the Junior High School to initiate the members into the Jr. High Na- tional Honor Society. On March 23 t e junior class were initiated at a banquet at the Utilities Auditorium.

MELCDDIES IN MANY KEYS This organization since its beginning in 1939, has made itself one of the most outstand- ing of its type in school. This year the mixed chorus composed of Hfty boys and girls pre- sented as many as fifty programs including radio programs, and civic performances. These students who are select members, appeared as soloists, in small groups, or in large groups as the occasion demanded. The chorus this year chose as its leaders, Ralph Deck, president, Joan Cox, vice-presi- dent and accompanistg and Beatrice Dail, or- ganist. The highlight of the first semester was an impressive Christmas program given on the night of December 18, in the high school audi- torium for the general public. Well-given and well-received, it marked a higher step in high school music productions. During the second semester, a patriotic program was presented to the P. T. A. and to Junior High School. Music Week in May was recognized by a night pro- gram in conjunction with the band. The mixed chorus also sang for the May Festival, Baccalaureate and Commencement Exercises, they have stressed patriotism on their pro- grams, and Latin-American friendship. Five members of the mixed chorus-Caro- lyn Moulton, joan Cox, Valda Stone, H. XV. Combs and Jack Coldiron entered the vocal contest held in Johnson City in April.

The Red Cross called for volunteer knitters: this call was quickly answered by a large group of girls in the Home Economics Department of our school. They knitted sweaters which were sent to Britain. By holding several food sales during the noon hour, the club has added to its department two new serving tables, sev- eral pieces of china, and new curtains for the dining room. The meetings are held every other Friday, and the club was divided into several groups, each one being in charge of a program on the theme for the year, National Defensef, The club entered the County Meeting in December and attended these monthly meetings regularly. ln early Spring, many of the girls from the department went to camp with Nliss Nlassengill, their sponsor, to enjoy the wonders of th: outdoors: here they serx ed the meals and waited on the tables. The Home lfeonomies Club closed the year with a social held in its department. 1-mf.xssitlylii-iaE1:, llitlttzs Keentr Upper Left: Tranbarger, Birehlield, jordan, Price.

The Redmen's aerial attack was not clicking but they rolled up a total of 454 yards by rushing while their none-too-strong opponents were held to 28 yards. The Freeman-Ortmayer coached boys played an excellent brand of ball, but there was little glory as the visitors were not strong enough to give the Indians a hard test. .Aly Vestal, Anderson, Lauderback, Kesterson-the men be- hind the men behind the ball, our managers.

Kingsport, again, as in their previ- ous contest with Mountain City, was weak on both pass defense and offense but showed tre- mendous power on the ground. Hagan Bright, swivel-hipped back, showed some outstanding open-field-running throughout the last quarter. The loss of Hendricks and Mitchell, who injured his knee, uncovered two young backs, Bobby Stone and Aubrey Duncan. Kingsport 0 . . . Aslan illi' 21 Defeat knocked on the Indians' door for the first time since Lexington, N. C., smashed their last yearis hopes for an undefeated season. The victorious Asheville eleven gave to spectators an integrated performance of power, speed and de- ception as they avenged their last yearis 19-7 loss by over-powering the Redmen 21-0. The out- classed Indians' only threat came in the third quarter as they passed the Tarheels dizzy. This passing attack ended on the opponents' 16 yard line as they were held for downs. Stone and Bright played inspiring ball in the backfield with Powell playing a bang-up ball game at his end position both on defense and offense. Kl7I4Q5!7117'f 29 . . . Iflrrlirftqlofl, N. Cf.

Only once did the invaders move into Indian territory and that was due to a bad kick that went out of bounds at midfield.

This was the first conference defeat of the year and it also was the first Big lfive Con- ference loss since the 1938-39 season. The Kings! port eleven scored in the first four minutes of play but from then on it was Erwin. No sooner had the Indians scored than the Blue Devils came hack to tie it up and a flew seconds later went ahead as the educated toe of Pope made the difference in the score. The highlight of the game was the distant and accurate kicking of Miller and Bright. Both kickers averaged around 38 yards per try. hile With -Iones blocking, Bright seats around end.

Kingsjbor! 6 . . . Knoxville 20 For the third time this season defeat stalked the Indians, trail as the Knoxville Trojans ran rough- shod over an outclassed Maroon and Grey eleven. This gridiron classic was all Knoxville with the exception of one play. On this play, Earles took the ball on a reverse at the second half kickoff and trotted 72 yards to score the Indians' only marker. In regard to last yearis 20-7 defeat the Indians handed the Trojans, the visitors were out to even up the count. The Indian blocks of graniten were sparked by Crawford and Cham- bers as Earles stole the glory in the backfield. Kingsport 26 . . . Bristol I3 Coming back to the win column after two suc- cessive losses to Erwin and Knoxville, the Indians appeared to be one of the strongest teams in the conference as they romped to a smashing victory over the Vikings of Bristol. Little Howard Earles was the man of the hour with three touchdowns to his credit. After the first touchdown scored by Earles the startled Vikings broke into a for- ward march which ended in their first score. The Redmen pushed the count to 19-7, but the un- daunted Tennessee High team came back to score their second and last touchdown before the half. The second half was scoreless with the exception of a 48 yard scoring in the third quarter. Jack Crawford, big Indian tackle, did his share in the Even the tem- po of the band in- creases when the Indians go on the warpath. line both on offense and defense with Earles again holding the spotlight in the backfield. Kingsporf 0 . . . Elizabefhfon 0 The Indians played their last game away from home in freezing weather at Elizabethton. The favored Betsy eleven started off in an invincible fashion as they marched to the Braves 14-yard line with the opening kickoff. Coach Brownis boys dominated the entire first half but the Indian eleven came back the second half to keep the Betsy squad with their backs to their own goal. The main handicap of the game was the wind. It kept the kicks down to not more than 25 yards per try. Louis jankey, due to an injury, did not see service, but Alf Crawford filled his shoes in great style. Jack Crawford, heading for an all Big Five spot, was again the stellar performer in line. Billy Harkins, who turned in his best performance of the year, was the boy who tore the Betsy line apart. This deadlock gave the In- dians third place in the Big Five. Kingsport 7 . . . Cloatfanooga 0 The Indians played their best game of the year in finishing the 1941 season with an upsetting victory over the Purple-Pounders of Chattanooga. Harkins scored the only Indian touchdown by plowing over from the one-foot line in the second quarter. The Pounders only threatened once but this breath-taking feat was stopped by the half- time gun with the ball resting on the one-foot line. Bright's coffin-corner kicking was the at- traction of the game and it also kept the Pounders well in their own territory. I-Ie angled three kicks out of bounds around the five-yard line besides the distance kicking throughout the game. Cap- tain Mitchell and the eight other seniors finished their gridiron careers as far as high school football is concerned, but some are seeking greater heights in the educational as well as physical field. Al- though the Indians did not go through their sched- ule undefeated, the 1941 season was highly suc- cessful in that a green team was converted into a strong eleven which rolled over six of the teams on their difficult schedule. FUTURE BRAVES Because of its lack of publicity, B-Team foot- ball seems unimportant to many, but its value in training is illustrated by the fact that. in the last five years, only five boys have earned varsity let- ters without first playing on the B-team. Kings- port has had .1 B-Team for nine years, and Mr. lilliot has coached every year. The boys are given no K's but must depend on their love of the game as a reward for the hard work and business which are their lot. Contrasted with last year's B-Team record of S wins and 1 loss, the 1941 score was just a shade to the xvorse, with 3 wins, 1 loss, and 1 tie. Nor was the '41 team the high-scoring organization that the 1940 gridiron were. Last year's team compiled a total of 151 points to 12 for the op- position, while this year the team tallied only 44 points to their opponents' 18. Last year the high score for one game was 48-0, this year, 19-0.

GREEN BOYS The devotees of the links for 1941 downed all opposition, defeating three other teams. There was great difficulty in scheduling matches in that very few schools in this region retain golf as an activity. The boys, under the careful coaching of Mr. Peterson, played good golf and enjoyed every sunny afternoon at the Kingsport Country Club. Some of the former Dobyns-Bennett golf stars have done well in inter-city golf compe- tition. In the last few years, Fred Saylor, Vir- gil Davis, and Ned Walker, who got their start in golf at D.B.H.S., have won the Coun- try Club Championship.

Cook, Bill jones, Hagan Bright, N For those girls who desire athletic achieve- ments beyond their required work in gym, the Girls' Athletic Association functions under the sponsorship of Miss Katherine Enlow. These girls meet each Monday and Wednesday afternoon to play indoors, or, if the Weather permits, outdoors. Along with the gym classes, they carry out a year round program of volley- ball, soccer, tennis, softball, and basketball. Each year they sponsor a Play Day one Sat- urday in April, and invite the athletic associa- tions of the neighboring schools of Erwin, Bris- tol, Johnson City, and Sullivan. Various sports are included in the program. The Girls' Ath- letic Association also takes part in the annual city wide May Day program presenting dances, stunts, and calisthentics. This organization is open to any girl in high school who is interested in sports, and K's are given as rewards to those who have worked hard enough to accumulate one thousand points These points are based on time spent in both mayor and minor sports The Girls Athletic Association does much to promote good sports manship and to develop healthy bodies, which are es sential to the true American way of life junelle Sutherland Hazel Dickens June Motfitt Dorothy Arnold Twxla Kmcheloe Mary Dickens Mildred Clomngcr Shirley Butler Wanda Weatherly Pearl Syrad June Jeter Claudia Gardner Betty Bevms Mary Sue Groseclose Kathryn Feagms Frances Randolph Anna Syrad Audrey Palmer Sarah Ran dolph Ruth Saylor Naidene Gillenwater FEMININE ACUMEN ........., s, 'N On a sunny day the ath lcne lasses of Dobyns Ben nctt are seen demonstrating their astounding prowess in sports Here some of the girls are enjoying a friendly game of softball some are batting the birdies while still another group is engaged ln a mild form of football Page seventy set en ,, .I 1941 CHAMPIONS Front Row: Jack Collins, Ivan jones, Mike Kabool, julian Hendrix, Fred DeVault, J.

NOONTIME PASTIME As the intramural program went into its second season, the competition became stiffer, and the enthusiasm of the players and spec- tators became greater. Each noon hour many hungry and wildly cheering students gathered to witness the various athletic contests. For the second consecutive year, Johnson's homeroom won the intramural championship. Their 1319 points topped Nave's homeroom, their closest competitor, by 200 points. These points were accumulated by winning basket- ball and by Lawrence Thayer again winning the ping-pong championship. Johnson was also second in softball and horse shoe compe- tition. The softball championship was won by the Massengill ten and the Carson boys retained their football title by defeating the favored ment. This was the second successive year Nave's tall boys have won this event. Bynum Won the horseshoe and Windy', Cross of Counce's team won the free throw by tossing 17 in out of 25. The intramural program this year, under the supervision of Coach Ortmayer, was man- aged in the same efficient manner as of last year. As the intramural program progresses from year to year, the events are improved and more and more boys participate to win honor for their teams. Through this noon-hour athletic competition many boys who are not varsity material are allowed to show their skill on the athletic field with boys of their ability.
