Kingsport's f1rst high school annual was pub- lished in 1920. At that time Harry P. Groot was principal of the school, which was called Central High. Eugene M. Crouch was superintendent of the city schools. In 1926 the annual was dedicated to Miss Leila Bagley, senior class sponsor and Latin teacher. Ross N. Robinson was superintendent of Kingsport schools and C. K. Koffman was principal of Central High. Central High was moved to Dobyns-Bennett High School in 1927. The '27 annual was inscribed with a picture of the new building of D.-B. H. S. The following year an annual was edited which endeavored to present a true picture of events, classmates, and spirit of the school. Silhouettes typifying a senior, junior, sopho- more, and freshman adorned the division pages of the '3O yearbook. The years 1931 and 1932 were unfavorable economically for Dobyns-Bennett. The deplorable conditions of the school made it necessary for a town benefactor to finance annualettes to replace the traditional annuals. In 1933 the volume resembled a loose leaf notebook. The cover was maroon with silyer letter- ing. In 1935 the annual was dedicated to Miss Barsha Webb and Mr. Don Self, former teachers. The class will was drawn up by T. R. Bandy, Jr. The theme of the '36 yearbook was the Indian. This volume was dedicated to Paul Elliott, science instructor. In 1937 the Dobyns-Bennett annual commemo- rated the chartering of the city of Kingsport, which was celebrating its twentieth anniversary. The 1938 volume was a pioneer edition which was dedicated to Mrs. J, W. Dobyns and Mr. Frank , . Kg.. .X in. i 4 if , 1 i T 5 1 l X will li . 4. 'ls . P 1 ala- 1, 'F 11 Q I .

The annual contained a historical map of 'this section and an outline of important historical events. ln T939 the yearbook portrayed the wide range of educational opportunities and extra cur- ricular activities offered at D.-B. H. S. The T940 annual was dedicated to Miss Ruth Romer for her profound influence on so many stu- dents of Dobyns-Bennett. The two most versatile Seniors, Lillian Von Bramer and King Cox, were pictured on the cover. The only Dobyns-Bennett yearbook to attain an All-American Award from the National Scholas- tic Press Association was published in T94T. Alex Armstrong was its editor-in-chief. Highlights of T942 annual were pictures of Col. Carlos P. Romulo's lecture in assembly and the track team's being named state champions, Little Joe D.-B. H. S. marched in his first war through the pages of the T943 yearbook. The vol- ume was dedicated to those pupils who had joined the armed forces. ln T944 the annual contained a novel theme. Dobyns-Bennett represented a battleship and her pupils scrubbed the decks daily! The T945 edition saluted the Marine Corps. Our football and basketball teams were victorious state champs! The following year war had ceased and Dobyns-Bennett adopted a serious theme of peace on earth for her annual. She paid tribute to the memory of her honored dead. The T947 volume was dedicated to the Indian, the symbol of loyalty, courage, and devotion. These previous annuals paved the way for the T948 Maroon and Grey. They offered us an incen- tive tolprint the year's panorama of events occuring throughout the corridors of Dobyns-Bennett. We salute the numerous people who diligently worked to publish the pupils' lives as spent in D.-B. H. S. and preserved the traditional customs of our school during these twenty-Eve years. rff '-w-.

We feel thot it hos been largely through your efforts thot Dobyns- Bennett stonds among the foremost high schools ot this section, ond we con proudly soy that we ore groduotes of this school. A acuity MR. ROSS N. ROBINSON is superintend- ent of the schools of Kingsport. He is certainly a recogniied authority on schools. He is also an authority on two other sub- iects, fishing and boating. We are told his fish stories are among the best. MR. PITTS is our competent principal at Dobyns-Bennett. His skill has brought us successfully through three years of pleasures and difficulties. But along with all these things for us, he finds time for fishing, and he thoroughly enjoys a football game. MISS RUTH RAMER, assistant principal and senior English teacher, keeps all the students in the right place at the right time. Most of her time is given to the students of Dobyns-Bennett, but in her leisure she re- laxes by preparing a tempting steak or making a picture cake. s 'S F Q5 'ff' acu Zig MRS. THELMA BEAR combines the teach- ing of English and homemaking with great ease. Reading and music find a place in her busy day. One of our new teachers is MR. BEVERLY H. BLANKENBECLER. He is the woodwork teacher and is housed over at Junior High School this year, b'ut we hope to have him at Dobyns-Bennett before too long. MRS. W. B. BROWN, capable and long time secretary to Mr. Robinson, acts as a clearing house for all our problems, and she does this with a smile. Teaching American history, sponsoring the National Honor Society and Journal Club keep MISS MARGARET BUTLER busy twenty-four hours a day. During the sum- mer she finds relaxation in summer school studying library science. X One of our most traveled teachers is MISS BLANCHE CRIGGER, who commutes between Johnson City and Kingsport. Be- sides teaching English and being editorial sponsor of the Maroon and Grey she likes to cook and read. MRS. LONA DINGUS teaches biology, botany, and.zoology. She enjoys reading Spanish literature as a hobby. Boenas Dias is the greeting MRS. DOROTHY DYE extends her students every V morning. She teaches Spanish and sponsors the Spanish Club. 591,614 Zig Her hero is Caesar, who was the greatest man that ever lived. MISS GRACE ELMORE'S tirst love is Latin, but her in- terests are varied. Among her interests are the Beta Club and its activities. Daily tests seem to be MISS HETTIE lEWALT'S way of keeping her students studying day and night. Modern and American history fill up her schedule at Dolayns-Bennett. She sponsors the Student Council. MISS ALMA GREEN, the capable secre- tary of Mr. Pitts, spends most of her time writing excuses for latecomers and pre- paring those important bulletins and special announcements. MRS. RUTH HERRING directs the Dis- tributive Education. She has the double task of keeping up with her students in the classroom and on the job. MRS. MARY JOHNSON spends her time in trying to get her students to understand the fundamentals of Latin and how to make a complete sentence in English. She likes travel and sports. Money, money, money is the favorite oc- cupation of MR. RALPH E. KENNEDY. He is in charge of the finances for all the activities of the school. MR. ROLLIN KENNERLY, mechanical drawing instructor, enioys fishing as o hobby and he is continually fishing for a class whose drawings he can interpret. t,f1!b-y-,-H ltmn W' is 'N ar- I X . ,: 'Mi bfi gr, Ah: I':': 'Hi .K nil ll Nutt 'In T' 'III I I! .IW Cid ,I U :X ova., ji J .J 5954-4-nf .4 FV 61014. fy A good humored mathematics teacher is MISS DOROTHY KING.

JOSEPHINE KING, SXEY- Phy- sical education and health instructor for girls. Sponsoring the cheer leaders is her favorite activity. In the Home Economics Department we have MISS LUCILLE MASSENGILL who still believes that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach . She enioys garden- ing during her summer vacations. MR. PAUL MOORE teaches woodwork and physics. He hopes that in science he may be instructing a future Bacon, Newton or even an Einstein. He enioys playing chess as o hobby. MISS LUCY MCMILLAN - our English teacher with that real Southern accent from Vicksburg, Mississippi-has two favorite characters, Shakespeare and Lee. She teaches Junior English and sponsors the Y-Teens. A real necessity to the students of Dobyns-Bennett is MISS NANCY NECES- SARY. Never a dull moment, plenty of energy, and always gay is this teacher of English and speech. She is dramatic and debate coach. In the Mathematics Department we find MISS DESSIE NISBETT explaining to her students that X always means an unknown quantity. Traveling is her hobby. czcu fy MISS MYRTLE PERRY gives the Freshmen their first introduction to higher mathe- matics. She likes to travel and appreciates good music. The Sophomore English teacher, who spends her spare time collecting various obiects, both permanent and movable, is MISS MARGARET PHLEGAR.

Treasurer Approximately twelve years ago eager classes of six-year olds enrolled for the Grst time in Kingsport's elementary schools, Jackson, Washington and Lincoln. To their amazement the year did fiy by and soon they were faced with sixth grade graduation and their uncertain future at Junior High. ln the fall of 1942 they entered the seventh grade and during their two years stay at Junior High, prided themselves on being adolescent problems and secretly yearned for the day when they would be students of Dobyns-Bennett High School. Finally in September 1944, with triumphant -spirits and heads held high in the air, they proceeded from the halls of Junior High on to Dobyns-Bennett, where they were immediately subdued and placed under the classification of Freshmen. Each took a deep breath and tried hard to imitate the poised and,reserved manner of the upperclassmen. They strove to acquire the nonchalant stride of the admired football heroes and the casual smiles of the school's outstanding beauties. During their first year at high school they learned the strategy of finding their lockers in the dark hallways of the base- ment and good-naturedly accepted the traditionally ridiculed balcony seats in assembly. Although they were classified as green freshmen they exhibited much wisdom in electing as class officers Charles Bullis, president, Jack Fulkerson, vice-president, George McCrea, secretary-treasurer and Carolyn Park, student council. As Sophomore, with one year of unquestionable experience behind them, they entered the school year with an air of superiority over the humble freshmen. This enthusiastic class set a steady pace in establishing themselves as a part of Dobyns- Bennett and outstanding clubs found these Sophs in the whirl of their activities. They took great pride in their cherished assembly seats on the main floor, their lockers on the top floor and pride also in their officers who were: Buddy Sheffield, Darrell Crawford and John Puckett. The Class of '48 found their second year in Dobyns-Bennett quite a lively one and agreed that their biggest worries were Caesar and second year algebra problems. In their Junior year they stepped into the position of highly-regarded upperclassmen. They achieved distinction in the presentation of their successful' class play, Professor, How Could You and the gala Junior Carnival given in the spring. The main highlights of the year were the arrival of the long desired class rings and the Junior Prom, yhich caused much excite- ment. The Juniors honored the graduating Seniors with various parties which climaxed the school year. This versatile group of energetic Juniors was guided by Darrell Crawford, president, Charley Frye, vice-president, John Puckett, secretary-treasurer. At last in the autumn of 1947, they reached their goal and now were envied Seniors. With shining qualities of leader- ship they entered wholeheartedly into every school activity. In December the production of Come Rain or Shine , the class play, was given - displaying much dramatic ability. After careful thought they chose for Senior class officers: Darrell Craw- ford, Jack Patterson, Betty Hicks, Dede Mullins and were represented on the Student Council by Marie Hewitt, Buster Brown, Joe Nidermaier and Charles Bullis. ln the spring they gave a Senior Banquet and completed their preparations for the rapidly approaching commencement date. Their school life at Dobyns-Bennett, climaxed by their graduation, has made the Class of 1948 a distinguished one in the history of the school, and it will forever be remembered and looked back upon with admiration. 0111018 JUDY ALDEEN Camera Club Band Y-Teens Spanish Club Annual PATSY ALLEN Glee Club Home Ec.

Club Glee Club Mixed Chorus Y-Teens 'B' 'Q X IHITOV C188 Three years ago in September T945 over ZOO students entered Dobyns-Bennett. The eager group was guided by Roy Duncan, President, Tommy Stevens, Vice-President, Carleton Davis, Secretary-Treasurer, and Charlene Wright, Student Council represen- tative. This Freshman Class had strong determination and the desire to attain high goals. They immediately began making a name for themselves. Soon they passed into their Sophomore year and were confronted and almost overg- whelmed by Julius Caesar and Second Year Algebra. The officers for this year were: Roy Duncan, President, Carleton Davis, Vice-President, Tommy Stevens, Secretary-Treas- urer. Representing the Class on the student Council were Betty Keesling and P. H. Spivey. Before the end of the year, this Class was well represented in all clubs and activities. Now in the years I947-48 the Class of '49 has come a little over the half-way mark and have selected for their ofticers, Carleton Davis, President, Tommy Stevens, Vice- President, Joan Wampler, Secretary, Peggy Slaughter, Treasurer, with Betty Keesling, Charlene Wright, and P. H. Spivey representing the Junior Class on the Student Council. In December the ring committee, composed of the officers and the Student Council Representatives, selected an oval gold ring with the familiar school crest With a choice of ruby, gold metal, spinel, or onyx stone. The beginning of this year found them looking forward to their own participation in the traditional activities of the Junior Class, the Junior Carnival and their own Junior Class Play. The Class of '49 entertained the Seniors with a Splash Party, Theater Party, and Junior-Senior Prom in June. As another year has ended this class looks back fondly on many happy memories during their three years at D.-B. H. S. and are looking toward their Senior year with much enthusiasm.

X X 'Www M? Ciivifies lien . -M1- This picture tells the story of a scene that brought sorrow into the hearts of every former and present student of this school. Our auditorium, that had stood since 1926 as a symbol of high school days, caught fire on Thursday night, July 10, 1947, at 6:41 and burned completely. With it went the movie projector, organ, grand piano, radio equipment, and other valuable and necessary items that had become a part of our school life. Because of this disaster, our school activities have been curtailed to such an extent that many clubs have been unable to function to their fullest capacity. Plans have been perfected for a new building with an auditorium of much greater seating capacity and all of those things which we have missed during the past year. Great things are in store for the future students of Dobyns-Bennett. ,FH-5-AL 54 ee 51 , Y 1, Yi., x K.. .V ilu! x T'-D l 53 iw T 'T' Row one: P. H.

At the beginning of the season the Big Red was handicapped by in- experienced players and a late start caused by a post-season football game. All the boys, with the exception of two lettermen, were inexperienced. These were Darrell Crawford and Cecil Maddux. Although the team got off to a slow start it is expected to improve under the skillful coaching of Coach Guy B. Crawford, former hardwood star of D-B. H. S. ln the past twenty years, Kingsport has set a record in the Big Fve Conference that no other team has equalled. Kingsport ...,. ..,,v 3 2 Sullivan .,,.c,,.

K t Ffjczsega ff As the spring of i947 rolled around last year the Indian Batters were seen to have rallied in victory six times, bowing honorably in defeat only four times. Winning five out of eight Conference games the base runners held second place in the Big Five. With players Carl Oliver, Bob Archer, Roy Duncan, Claude Mellons, Darrell Craw- ford, Cecil Maddux, Bill King returning for the l948 season's games, the indians should be comparatively strong and have a very successful year. This year's schedule will be larger and will total about l4 games, playing eight Big Five games plus several others. BASEBALL SCORES FOR 1947 Kingsport ...... ........... l Bristol ..........

With every homeroom participating, the rivalry and competition was keen. The season began with Miss Springer's, Miss Ewalt's, Miss Elmore's, and Mrs. Sparks' homerooms vying for the touch-football championship. Mrs. Sparks emerged the winner. Shanks and Nottingham give their all Any noon hour in the gym Nl Q' IP The annual Turkey Race was won by Arthur Perkins, a member ot Mr. Osborne's homeroom. Don McClellan, also of Mr. Osborne's homeroom, defeated John Billington of Miss Phlegar's homeroom in ping-pong finals. Basketball competition proved no less exciting than the brilliant foot- ball program. At the beginning of the basketball season, Mr. Osborne was leading in total points by a comfortable margin. In the spring shuftleboard, horseshoes, and other sports were played. Intramural football champs - Mrs. Sparks' room. The 1947 edition ot the Kingsport Track Team sped its way to the Big Five and East Tennessee Championships. Jack Patterson, captain of the team, broke the Big Five 220 yard dash record and tied the HO yard dash record during the campaign. This year's team will lose most of last year's lettermen, but Coach Shockey expects to build a strong team round such returning lettermen as Harry Wright, Skip Wilbourn, Carleton Davis, and Bill Marshall. Among the many new candidates will be the future track stars of Dobyns- Bennett. Our school has always been a strong track contender in East Ten- nessee and we know this year will be no exception.
