May the Father guide him through this conflict back to his home- back to the land he so nobly and valiantly defends. And to that American boy whose star is gold, we can only bow our heads in deepest reverence before his supreme sacrifice. 1 For sweat and blood and what comes after is small price for things eternal- Things like a cottage and a field and a singing child, be it England or Alabama. If anywhere in the world your dying - Our dying - Will save sunny meadows and skylarks and songs on gay young lips as yet unborn, Who will set a limit on the price of this happiness? . . . -Captain James A.

The City School System of Kingsport has one of the best school boards in the country. The six citizens on the board are appointed by the City Fathers according to their capabilities to improve the educational system for the elementary schools and the high school. A superintendent to carry out their plans in the schools is appointed from the board. The board appoints the teachers in the City School System from all parts of the nation in order to give the students a broader point of view on sec- tional beliefs. It sets up a plan to improve the character and the mental and physical being of the students as well as to make model American citi- zens of the future generation. These six also select practical and adequate equipment to be used in the class- rooms. Mrs. Rowley finds Mr. RowIey's draft orders Page six THE ADMIRAL Ross N. Robinson, Superintendent The smoothly run school system of Kingsport owes most of its credit to our superintendent, Ross N. Robinson. Behind this efficient organization, that is so often taken for granted, is Mr. Robinson whose diligence and perseverance cannot be over- estimated. His recognition is not only local but has spread throughout this section of the coun- try. By his membership in the Tennessee Education Association, American Associa- tion of School Administrators, his presi- dency of Public School Officers, and his past presidency of the East Tennessee Educa- tion Association, it is evident that Profes- sor Robinson is a leader. For his perseverance to his regular duties, student-all hold his name in high esteem.

Helping are Mrs. Jared and Mrs. W. B. Brown - secretaries to Mr. Kolfman and Mr. Robinson, respectively-as Well as several student assistants. Among the many duties of the office staf is that of issuing tardy and absence excuses, and penalties for those unexcused. The secretaries take dictation and type letters for both the principal and superintendent. It is also the responsibility of the secretaries to mimeograph a daily bulletin of announcements that is sent to each teacher. Many files are kept neatly and accurately and every student who ever at- tended D-B-H-S has a record here. These files are particularly valuable in supplying information to employers Wanting character and intelligence ref- erences on certain students whom they might wish to employ.

S ecretary It was a mere four for iivei years ago that some one hundred and twenty new ad- ditions to Dobyns-Bennett came to occupy the balcony seats in assembly, and to as- sume the general label of Freshmen-one hundred and twenty students of assorted sexes and ages who timidly crept down the halls among the formidable upperclassmen, and were sneered at by the most adult Sophomores. But this Freshman class had strong determination and high goals to at- tain-they were going to do the things no other classes had ever done, and they were going to make the class of '44 memorable to all who thumbed through the historic annals of Dobyns-Bennett High School. For class officers they elected Jim Pyle, Shirley Pyle, Phil Cox, Richard McConnell repre- sented the class in the Student Council. After two terms of combat with Latin verbs and science experiments, these less- energetic frosh became the well-deserv- ing, sassy Sophomore class in 1941-42. That year, under the able direction of Miss Clara Carson, the Sophomores made their stage debut with a play entitled That Crazy Smith Family -a howling comedy. lt was in that same year that these Sophomores became interested in the various scholastic activities. Before the end of the year every activity in school was represented by at least one Sophomore. Kenny Curtis, Martha Clark Kane, Alf Crawford, and Jim Pyle held class oftices, while Jean Drury and Richard Mc- Connell spoke for the class in the Student Council. When three more pages had been torn off the calendar, a slightly larger group Q thanks to that remnant of not-so-studious studentsi occupied over one hundred and thirty assembly seats, and assumed the airs of dignified, yet jolly, Juniors. The realiza- tion of fewer candy bars and cokes, fewer elaborate dances and banquets, and not-so- many pleasure rides brought the class to a stronger determination to excel in studies and activities. They were guided by Presi- dent Tom Pruitt, Vice-President Frank Buckles, Secretary Elizabeth Maples, and Treasurer Guerney Freeman. In the spring of 1943, the Juniors presented a roaring version of Second Childhood .

In the fall of 1943 a more serious group occupied the sacred front section in assem- bly and watched the carefree antics of un- derclassmen. They chose Frank Buckles as their president, and Shirley Pyle, Alf Crawford, and Paul Von Bramer as other officers. The activities of the school were still well represented by members of that same class of '44 who had so meekly entered them as underclassmen. Tom Pruitt was president of the Beta Clubg Martha Clark Kane, both president of the Modern Language Club and Editor of the Maroon and Grey, Shirley Pyle, president of the Senior Girl Reservesg Joanne Allen and Jim Pyle, co-editors of the Indian Tribuneg Betsy Dunning, president of the National Honor Society, Earl Dud- ney, president of the Student Councilg and Richard McConnell, president of the Dra- matic Club. In January, the Seniors presented a gay comedy under the capable direction of their class sponsor, Mrs. Annalee Rowley, Page thirty-six entitled The Whole Town's Talking. As a result, the whole school talked about the talents of the actors and actresses-Rich- ard McConnell, Rowena Hoge, Helen Gib- son, Jack Coldiron, Martha Clark Kane, Mike Kabool, Tom Pruitt, Joanne Allen, Virginia Doane, Juanita Larkin, Elizabeth Maples, and Doug Bowers. In that same month the class sponsored a dance. In such ways that year passed much the same as the others had, but the glory of being seniors was whitewashed by expec- tations of college life, careers, and entrances into various branches of the Service. Of what lay ahead they were ignorant, but it was evident that the Senior Class well de- served its high merits-those once-shy Freshmen were graduating into a world of conflict. How did they face it? Well, the years ahead would tell the story, but the great leaders of this class seemed to signify the same success they had enjoyed on small- er basis as high-school Seniors. Salute to the class of '44! JUNIOR PETTY OFFICERS On a glorious fall day of 1941, approxi- mately one hundred and fifty youngsters toddled greenly into the halls of dear old Dobyns-Bennett High School for the first time. Peering around corners, hunting frantically for lockers, and marching con- spicuously into assembly that first day were part of the same old cut and dried routine that other novices labeled Fresh- men had experienced before them. Tak- ing their assigned seats in the balcony, some marveled at the gorgeous blonde down below who had been left behind by draftees while others wondered Who would be the first to drop a book down on someone's head. They endured the same precedented em- barrassment as hundreds of black eyes glared at them when Mr. Koffman pointed out our younguns in the gallery. The escapades of this new class were astounding, and Miss Ramer became fran- tic as blue-excuse tablets for absentees di- minished more rapidly than could ever be remembered. The artistic ability and deco- rative air of these scholars were Well dis- played by the new pictures inscribed on OFFICERS Kenneth Bingham Mary Robinson lockers and designs engraved on the desks. Their ability and leadership were wisely shown in their choice of officers for that first momentous year. A very capable Presi- dent was Lewis Hall with Otis Bridwell as Vice-President and Buford Kilgore as Sec- retary and Treasurer. Serving on the Stu- dent Council was Chuck Gilmer, who must have had influence, because in the spring a holiday was granted to clean up the school campus. Webster's meaning for the 'word Soph- omore is a loose subject used to H11 gar- ments, or one who uses language inflated with senseless high-sounding words. If one were to review the previous Annual, he could readily see how well those words fit the poor imbeciles in the pictures. Never- theless, careful meditation and wise choices were shown with the re-election of Lewis Hall as class President. In the office of Vice- President was Billy Hood, while Mary Rob- inson served as Secretary and Treasurer. On the Student Council, Frank King and Jack Spivey put in good Words for those frivolous Sophs. Page thirty-seven Lewis Hall ............,...

For the third consecu- tive year, Lewis Hall was elected for the ofiice of President. Kenneth Bingham was Vice-President and Mary Robinson was re- elected as Secretary and Treasurer. The Juniors participating on the Student Coun- cil were Buford Kilgore, Frank King, and Lacy West. These officers proved their able- ness and dependability time and again as the magnanimous projects of the year en- sued. Miss Margaret Phlegar, the class sponsor, showed superb supervision and held the reins of her boisterous proteges in a loose but very steady hand. In November, the Ring Committee, com- posed of Erma Whitaker, Mary Robinson, Tom Owen, Duncan Kincheloe, and Lewis Hall selected the ring to be used that year. The customary crest was used on a choice of ruby, onyx, or gold oval stone. On one shank was the insignia of the City of Industry and on the other was the school symbol of the Indian head. On March 24, the Junior Carnival was presented which was the most successful financially in its history. In the auditorium the Coronation March was played on the organ while the Queen, Wanda Evans, and Lacy West Donald Whitaker Erma Whitaker Doris Wright the King, Luther Kesterson, marched sol- emnly down the aisle. They were accompan- ied by the attendants, who were runners-up in the race for Junior Carnival King and Queen. Other programs held in the audi- torium later were variety shows and boxing matches, while in the gymnasium, sessions of fortune telling, fishing, bingo, punch- board, baseball throw, and various other amusements delighted the participants. In the merry month of May, one of the most sensational comedies was presented by Junior class members under the direct- ing of Miss Margaret Phlegar, who was aided by Mary Robinson as Assistant Di- rector. The play cast consisted of Ann Ruth Syrad, Duncan Kincheloe, Erma Whitaker, Jean Haire, Audrey Palmer, Bill Qualls, Ruth Bryant, Tom Owen, Kathleen O'Neill, and Ollie Shadeed. A Ready-Made Family was truly one of the most humorous and big- gest hits of that Junior year. Along with their donations to the War Memorial Fund and gifts to charitable or- ganizations, this promising class of 1945 assisted in many worthy projects and strived heartily to bring their chums in service back home. To this class, with all their prominence and glory, let it be added that they continue as well as they have and live up to all expectations.

Every time a fill-in is needed for a radio or assembly program, the mixed chorus can present a solo, duet, trio, quintet, or a group of lusty throats eager to give forth in song. The mixed chorus is an organization meeting during school hours. The members of the chorus are selected on their ability to read music. These people who are prominent in the mixed chorus are: Shirley Pyle, accompan- ist, Jack Coldiron, the president, and Miss Paul, the instructor. The organization has presented a number of programs, the most prominent of which is the Christmas program. The chorus also took part in the May Festival, the Bacca- laureate, and Commencement exercises. The aim of the mixed chorus is to give all an opportunity to cultivate a better ap- preciation of music and to make music a living subject to everyone. Mairsy Doafs and Dozy ....

Witt The streets are lined with impatient spectators, in the distance drums may be heard beating out their catchy rhythms, and soon follow the strains of Kingsport's pride and joy, the Dobyns-Bennett High School Band. With feet stepping high, head flung back, and a blast of his whistle, drum major Jim Pyle starts the band on its triumphant march down Broad Street. Few runs, passes, or punts suc- ceed in achieving more thrills than that moment when Professor S. T. Witt strikes up the band. One of the most memorable days of each band member's career is the one on which he has the priv- ilege of paying tribute to his beloved Fess. For eighteen years Fess has been producing musicians of which Dobyns-Bennett and Kingsport are proud 5 and the surrounding areas, envious. Congratula- tions, Mr. Witt and to the D. B. H. S. Band of 1943-44.

The Beta Club, in this its fifth year of existence, once again proves to be one of the leading organizations of our school. The purpose of this club is the promotion of the ideals of honesty, service, and leadership among its mem- bers Q and the work of the club is always in accordance with these principles. Under the sponsorship of Miss Grace Elmore, the club began work this year by electing as its oiiicers: Thomas Pruitt, president, Duncan Kincheloe, vice-president, Ann Buckles, secretary, and Tom Owen, treasurer. The Victory Shows given by the Beta Club have come to be one of the most outstanding entertainments for our students. The first one of the year was planned for March and was in the form of a hit parade with a local Frank Sinatra and all the trimmings. A new and novel entertainment has been the reading of palms and interpreting of dreams each day at the noon hour. This was introduced by the Beta Club and has attracted many inquisitive students. The selling of War stamps and bonds was one of the most vital projects, the entire sales totaling S36,175.00.

Vice-President President CREW TRANSLATORS With the advent of Spanish classes into Dobyns-Bennett the French Club changed to the Modern Language Club as French was discontinued at the same time. Miss Roberta Cridlin founded the club in 1941 and since then the club has passed into several different sponsors' hands. Miss Connor and Mrs. Snodgrass and Mrs. Dye, the present sponsor, have served well in this capacity. Members are admitted on the basis of scholarship in Spanish only-an average of 88 must be maintained by a member at all times. New members have initiations in which they are required to write compositions in Spanish and to make a short speech in the same language. Members were admitted in October and again in February, and oflicers for the coming year of '44-'45 were elected at the last meeting in April. Those oflicers serving this year were Martha Clark Kane, presidentg Joan Allen, vice-president, and Nancy Parker, secretary and treasurer. The club meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month at the home of one of the members who has a co-hostess with her. The programs are planned a year in advance, and each person in charge of the program for the night has ample time to secure an interesting and entertaining program for her meeting.

Two rows from the door in the back section to the reference room. This well known old phrase may be heard every hour issuing from the lips of Miss Springer, and with it go the memories of the many hours passed away in the reference room. For everyone who goes to D. B. H. S. has spent some time in there studying, or writing notes, or looking out of the window. The magazine counter at the back of study hall is manned by one of the girls of the library club, as is also the library taken care of by these girls who shift every period. The girls not only help the school with their efficient organization that saves time for the student, but also they themselves receive valuable training in library work that enables them to obtain jobs in public libraries. The reference room serves as a place of most unusual interest to the school with its colorful displays of books, posters, flags, and pictures, and it is to our most able librarian, Miss Ring, that the laurels go for this splendid work.

P resident Just as the primary and sole objective of the organization last year was to raise money for the Canteen Fund, the objective this year was to raise money in the same manner for the Servicemen's Library Fund. This is also the project of the National Thespian Organization for the year. Membership in the Dramatic Club is based upon the point system. To qualify, each student must have earned at least ten act- ing points and five points for stage Work. These include either ma- jor or minor parts in class plays, Work on make-up, or any other phase of dramatics. Richard McConnell served as a capable president for the club this year, Bob Bennett as vice-president, and Helen White as secre- tary-treasurer. DECK SHAKESPEARES With the ending of the 1943-44 season the Dramatic Club brought to a close its third year of membership in the National Thes- pian Dramatic Service Society for High Schools. The high goals which were set by this organization for its current year were attained, due to the Work and energy of its members. The club initiated its year's Work on Sep- tember 2O by sponsoring a program that was part of the High Schools Theater of Victory Program. Instead of charging a specified admission, money was taken on the contribution basis, the proceeds of which were donated to the Canteen Fund. Gibson, Helen White, Rowena Hoge, Miss Wylie.

CHEVRON WINNERS The National Honor Society was estab- lished in Dobyns-Bennett in 1927. During these years the members have kept ever be- fore them the high ideals of the organiza- tion. The club began this year with twenty- two members. These were selected by the faculty on merits of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. The club meets twice each month during the noon hour. At one meeting the members discuss the business of the club, and at the Nancy Parker ..i.. ......,........

The most important project of the year is the compiling of a servicemen's honor roll. The members are trying to keep this roll up-to-date so that the school will have a complete list of all Dobyns-Bennett grad- uates serving in the armed forces when a memorial is dedicated to them. In the early fall, club officers and other members visited the Junior High School to initiate the members into the Junior High National Honor Society. On April 13, the club conducted a Stump- the-Experts Program, which proved to be a great success, in assembly. New members from the Junior and Sen- ior classes were selected in the spring. They were: Virginia Doane, Betty Scutt, Martha Clark Kane, James McNabb, Eleanor Ar- nold, Phyllis Barnes, Kathleen O'Neill, Dor- is Overbay, Mary Robinson, Rose Roherty, Mildred Smith, Anna Ruth Syrad, Dorothy Walter, Erma Whitaker, Alex Berry, Ken- neth Bingham, Hartsell Doty, Chuck Gil- mer, Lewis Hall, Zane Grey, Duncan Kincheloe, Tommy Owen, and Billy Ruth- erford.

This year the staff feels that the annual means more than ever for seniors are leaving the portals of Dobyns-Bennett for every branch of the service. Each leaves a phase of his or her life that will never return-except in memory. The aim of the log Writers this year of 1943-44 is to gather such a collection of memories that our gallant lads and lassies Whether in the Army, Navy, or Marines: whether in England, Guadalcanal, or California-they can never forget the most beloved years of their lives -high school days.

The Girl Reserves began their most suc- cessful year in September with a comic ini- tiation which lasted a week and then a seri- ous initiation. Twenty new girls were added to the club at this time and they were most easily recognized by the whole school with their unpainted faces and wild hair during the initiation week when each was subject to the mercy of the old club members. At the beginning of the year the secre- tary of the Girl Reserve organization, which is a branch of the Y.W.C.A., came through Kingsport and talked to the girls, giving them an idea of the purposes and ideals of this national club. By her inspiration many worthwhile projects were carried out Page sixty-two through the year making it one of the most productive years in its history. To prove that this club has not been idle, they have rolled bandages for the Red Cross, read to and entertained a little sick boy that the hospital recommended, and fixed up a Thanksgiving basket for a needy family. A highlight for the entire school was the Army-Navy football game sponsored by the girls in the gym. Cartoon movies were shown in assembly and a variety show was given. Many of the girls seized the oppor- tunity and went to the Girl-Reserve confer- ence at Bluff City which is the nerve center for the Kentucky-Tennessee Girl Reserve district.

BINOCULARS OF THE NAVY Perhaps the student body of Dobyns- Bennett High School knows more about the work of the Journal Club than about the work of any other school organization, for it is the work of this group to publish the INDIAN TRIBUNE, D. B. H. Sis school newspaper. The members of the Journal Club are di- vided into two departments-those in the editorial department and those in the adver- tising department. The editorial depart- ment writes all the articles which appear in the TRIBUNE, and the advertising de- partment solicits the ads which finance the paper. Every member of the Journal Club contributes time and hard work in order that the paper may be kept up to the standard set by others in previous years. This year the paper has again been pub- lished by the Elizabethton Printing Com- pany. Miss Josephine Brumfield has been the able sponsor of the club this past sea- son, and it is greatly due to her every effort that the TRIBUNE is the success that it is. The Journal Club is very important also in the preparation of young men and women for a journalistic career.

However, Mr. Graybeal became the new adviser and under his excellent guidance the club soon became organ- ized and began to function like it had in the past years at D. B. H. S. There were only a handful of boys left from last year's Hi-Y, but soon fifteen new members were brought into the club. Mr. Gray, from Atlanta, came to visit the club and gave them some useful information on the organi- zation, purpose, and function of the Hi-Y club. The club began meeting every other Tuesday night. Ministers and other distinguished visitors spoke to the boys, always encouraging and helping them to live up to the purpose of the Hi-Y-to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and com- munity high standards of Christian character. At these meetings committees were formed and projects planned. As in the years before, the Hi-Y brought a basket of food to a needy family on Christmas day. There are at present twenty boys in the Hi-Y. Several of the members have already left for the armed services and more are expected to go before the year is over. This year's Hi-Y club wishes these boys the best of good fortune and a safe and speedy return.

One of our school's newest organizations, the Hospital Service Girls, is accomplishing a most worthwhile purpose in helping to re- lieve the shortage of nurses on the home front and in helping to release nurses for ac- tive duty with the military forces. Each of the pink pinafore girls works from one to two hours a week, serving trays and preparing patients for the evening meal. The girls volunteered their services and, under the capable direction of Miss Pennington, are of great assistance to the staff of the Holston Valley Community Hos- pital. Many of the girls are planning to become nurses and six of last year's Hospital Serv- ice Girls are now studying in nurses' schools. This offers an excellent opportunity for girls who are interested in this profes- sion to gain valuable experience. The praise of the nurses and patients at the Holston Valley Community Hospital is proof of their respect for the services of our pink pinafore girls . They go about their work cheerfully and earnestly and their work is of immeasurable value. To these girls such a thing as the glamour of the uniform is non-existentg they have only the determination to, with the best of their ability, be of service to their commun- ity and their country in striving to achieve the final victory. Those of the twenty-two Hospital Serv- ice Girls who, following graduation from high school, will attend nursing schools, will realize that their time was well spent in learning the fundamentals of nursing, and the experience gained from it was well worth their efforts. To these girls, then, we offer our highest praise and wish for them success in aiding the nurses in their endless crusades against pain and suffering. They are doing a mag- nihcent job. Page sixty-five Page sixty-six COME AND GET IT Under the able direction of Misses Rob ertson and Massengill, the Home Economics Club was very successful this year.

SISTER SUSIE'S SEWING The programs are based on many vital problems of todayg such as rationing, the balanced diet, the Oops! Your ankles show consumer education. These programs are presented in the form of one-act plays, lectures, and panel dis- cussions. This energetic group of girls is definitely doing its part in the victory effort. The day-nursery school has especially benefited from its work. The girls went to work with a will and turned out a supply of gay chair covers for the nursery and also remodeled many of the toys. In addition to this the members of the club are devoting their vacant periods each day to helping the children of the nursery school. The click, click of knitting needles in every class and the whirr of sewing machines is merely an indi- cation that the Home Ecers are on the job for the Red Cross again this year and are industriously making garments for them to send to England.

Kingsport opened their season against Rule High of Knoxville. The Golden Bears promptly handed the Indians a 13 to 6 set- back. Rule, working from a shifty T for- mation, took an early lead and were never overtaken although hotly pursued by the enraged Indians. The following week Stair Tech, also of Knoxville, invaded the Indian premises only to be turned back on the short end of an 18-0 score. The young Indian team had be- gun to function and to work as veterans. Curtis and Crawford proved to be the main- stay of the forward wall with Tudy Hall toting the pigskin most remarkably. Next the Purple Pounders steamed in on their choo-choo and overran the Indians to the tune of 27-7. Chattanooga displayed a mass of power really to be admired and won- dered at in this time of under-manned teams. Captain Smith opened holes in the middle of the line that the Lookout boys merely walked through. The going was somewhat tougher around the end with Kenny Curtis constantly breaking up Chat- tanooga plays. Smith and Carter of Chatta- nooga with Curtis and Crawford of Kings- port were the outstanding players, On October 8, some 30 odd boys piled off the crack streamliner, Tennessean , in Balls of Pep First Row: Mary Ellen Starnes, Patsy Jane Spivey, Cecile Routh, Shirley Pyle.

The game was hard fought throughout with the Indians hold- ing tenaciously to a 6 point lead until the fourth quarter when they exploded for two more tallies and a glorious victory. Year after year in spite of their apparent weakness, Erwin is able to give Kingsport a run for their money and this year proved no exception. The 18-0 victory for Kings- port really does not indicate the closeness of the game. The Blue Devils played the In- dians on even terms throughout, the margin of difference being two lovely runbacks of Erwin punts by Lacey West. The Betsy Cyclones puffed and puffed and blew the Indian house down twice this sea- son-39-0 and 31-0, Elizabethon had her best team in many years and as a con- sequence ran roughshod over the Indians. As usual, the Indians fought with grim de- termination but to no avail as the Cyclones Cstrengthened considerably by army reject- eesj rolled to victory.

The blue and white clad Trojans from Knoxville also proved too much for the home town boys as they steam-rolled their way to a 44-6 victory. Lund, Uhlman, and Corn, Knoxville's all-state trio, ripped the Indian forward wall to pieces and scored at random. The Indians gloriously rang down the curtain on the '43 season by defeating their traditional rival, Johnson City, 20-6. As could be expected, this was the hardest fought game of the season and Kingsport gained advantage only by capitalizing on a few breaks which came her way.

The Indians won twenty games, dropped ten, and succeeded in obtaining second place in the Big Five. Kingsport lost its only two games in the Big Five to Elizabethton but managed to defeat Johnson City, Bristol, and Erwin. The team this year could not make the customary Florida trip because of traveling difficulties, but the schedule was made up with teams of a closer radius. The Indians, having to complete with only Bristol, won their district champion- ship and traveled to Maryville for the Re- gional Tournament. They made a Very good showing for themselves at this tournament, reaching the semi-finals before being elimi- nated by Elizabethton. After rolling over Seviersville in the opening game, Kingsport defeated Soddy Daisy, a pre-tournament favorite, in what proved to be one of the Page seventy-four most exciting games all year. Trailing nine points at the beginning of the fourth quar- ter, the big red team rallied and at the end of the game managed to be at the long end of the score, 36-32. Beryl Shipley was the only Kingsport player to make the all- tournament team. Coach Stuart Aitken, serving his record year as Kingsport mentor, is to be highly recommended for his excellent job of coach- ing.

INTRAMURALS This year's program of intramurals, al- though not yet completed, has proved very interesting. The football schedule wound up with Miss Wylie's home room in the lead with 240 points to their credit. Mr. Kim- mell's squad ran second with 195 points. Both of these teams played excellent foot- ball and provided grand entertainment both for themselves and the anxious spectators. With the closing of the football season, the boys fell quickly into step with the ap- proaching basketball season. The competi- tion has been very keen, and only one team has emerged without defeat. That team be- longs to Miss Springer's home room. With only one or two more games to play, it looks as if this team will come through as this year's basketball champions. Other teams that have played good games of basketball this year are Miss Robertson's team with only one loss, Miss McMillan's home room with two losses, and Mr. Kim- mell's with two. These were in the Ameri- can league. In the National league, Mrs. Dye's home room is champion with only one loss, followed closely by Miss Williams and Mr. Lay with only two losses respectively. The basketball free throw contest has been completed with Miss Wand's home room emerging victor with 60 points on their score sheet. Miss Davis came in sec- ond with 40 points. There are still several parts of the intra- mural program to be carried out. Among them are volleyball, softball and horseshoes. If these sports offer as much entertainment as have the other sports, it is certain that they will be well worth the time spent by the boys and by Mr. Rowley, the director. Page severity-five FEMININE PRGWESS Under the splendid supervision of Mrs. Le Nore Bailey, the Girls' Athletic Associa- tion has formed an attentive and energetic group of girls. Meeting regularly every Monday and Wednesday afternoon, these healthy lassies participate in basketball, softball, badminton, volleyball and soccer. The ambition and ideal of these workers is to achieve good sportsmanship, cooperation in team work, healthy bodies, and a knowl- edge of the main fundamentals of sports. Merits of award for attendance, offices, winning teams, and outside athletics are based on a varying point system. After a mark of one thousand points has been ob- tained With two or three years' service, a girl is eligible for a K. Thereafter, she re- ceives an attachable bar for each two hun- dred and fifty points accumulated. Medals are the highest awards which are bestowed at the end of each school year to the best all-around girl athlete of each class. As a means of raising funds for their treasury, the Girls' Athletic Association Page seventy-six First Row: Elizabeth Ferrel, El- sie Brown, Iona Davis, Shirley Birchfield, Audrey Palmer, Eliza- beth Dudney.

The proceeds are used to finance their medals, Annual pictures, odd debts, and parties or picnics. In the spring is held a farewell pic- nic for all past and present members of the Association. The following girls served as officers for the school year of 1943-1944: President, Anna Ruth Syrad, Vice-Presi- dent, Elizabeth Dudneyg Secretary, Audrey Palmer, Treasurer, Elsie Brown.

Again this year the Kingsport Baseball Squad is under the expert tutelage of Coach Maurice Rowley. Last year they batted out the runner-up slot in the Big Five Conference, this year better reports are expected. With such veterans as Jimmy Scott, Beryl Shipley, Lewis Hall, Ivan Cole, and Paul Von Bramer returning, there can be no doubt that Coach Rowley will have another winning ball club. A squad of thirty reported the first day and was reduced to fifteen. Some of the outstanding newcomers this year are Cecil Puckett, Paul Cloud, Bill Caton, Kenneth Bingham, and David Figg. These diamond dusters are hard at work-batting, fielding, and sliding-preparing to give Elizabethton a terrific fight for the conference championship. This ball club, composed partly of battle-scarred veterans and green newcomers, is steadly rounding into shape and will be out there fighting to the last inch for the honor of dear old Dobyns-Bennett. This alert ball club is based on speed and quick thinking. They will be waiting on a break to pounce through to victory. One little slip means defeat for the opposition. Such is the wartime 1944 model of the baseball team- alert, aggressive, smart, and terrific! Page seventy 'S6'U6TL Kingsport Kingsport ......... .........

Navy wear neckerchiefs woven entirely of Koda, Eastman ace- tate rayon. One reason the Navy chose Koda yarn for neckerchiefs is that it resists the mildew which attacks other types of fibers in warm, damp cli- mates. Another reason is that Koda, dyed a rich black in solution and then spun into yarn, has ex- ceptional fastness to sunlight. Other factors are extra wear, soil resistance, and ease of laundering. Qualities that fit Koda for specialized Army and Navy needs are also helping to build superior service weaves for the home front-fabrics for nurses' and war workers' uniforms. Top-flight f3lJflC.One fabric made of Koda yarn has an enviable air record. It has crossed America on every flight of the Mainliner since 1939. The stew- ardesses picked this fabric because it was so pure white, soil resistant, light in weight, and easily washed. Recently all the girl passenger agents and traffic representatives in the United Air Lines have adopted it for blouses. In addition, this fabric has more than two years' flying time with TWA, in the one-piece blouse-slip worn by the hostesses. The fabric is Koda Diagonal, and you will find it in stores in graduation dresses, tailored blouses, and nurses' uniforms.
