Senior Class History HE SENIOR CLASS of ’25 is different from the other graduating classes of the C. C. H. S. in many ways, but especially in the number who started together in the first grade in the Grammar School and were promoted yearly. They are nineteen in num- ber as follows: Revel Searcy, Catherine Snellgrove, Minnie Lee Glover, Maecy Ragland, Joanna Rawls, Bela Speigner, Elliot Ellis, Eura Carmichael, Thornton Wright, Bessie Sue Price, Una Yelverton, Velma Watkins, Abraham Perlman, Guy Pouncey, Paul Mc- Ritchie, Fred Logan, Richard Martin, Edna Goodson and Helena Carlisle. We can boast of the greatest in number of any graduating class in the history of the C. C. H. S., and of being the most co-operative in all our ef- forts for the good of our class and school. High school life was not new to us when we entered the eighth grade in 1921, for we had grown accustomed to high school ways while we were in the seventh grade which was located in the high school building during that year. Our class was so large that it had to be divided into two sec- tions. All during the year we were active in social affairs and entertained on many occasions. The Second Section of our grade entertained the First Section at the home of Eura Carmichael. The Sophomores were enter- tained by us at the home of Mrs. Ruby Singleton Miller. Also we enter- tained the Seniors by taking them to Kill Kare Kamp. The scholastic year of 1922 opened and we took the name of Sopho- mores. We were blessed in having our home room teacher of the previous year, Miss Beatrice Hannon, again with us. Football was the main form of athletics this year. On Halloween, which will long be remembered by us, we entertained the Auburn High football team. The most brilliant event of our Sophomore year was the Masquerade Ball, given in honor of our sister class, the Seniors, at the home of Joanna Rawls. When we became Juniors, we put away our “Silly Soph” ways and be- came “Jolly Juniors.” We took an important part in football during the year by contributing several men to the varsity and scrub teams, thereby helping to win the South Alabama championship for our school. On Sep- tember the 30th we entertained the “Wildcats” and the visiting team from Florala, at a banquet. October the 26th we gave Elizabeth McNeal a fare- well party. We regretted to see her leave our class and town. A brilliant occasion in our Junior Year was the George Washington Ball, given in honor of the Seniors at the home of William Sessions. Near the close of our Junior Year there was much competition among the classes over win- ning a Ford car, given away by the Enterprise Auto Company, by obtain- ing votes for the car. Even though the contest closed during the summer holidays, the Juniors did not lose interest but worked on until the close. As a reward for our efforts, we won the contest and received a prize of ten dollars for securing the most votes in school. We sold the Ford, thus ob- tained, and the proceeds of the sale were given to the Athletic Association. At last we have become dignified Seniors, after ten years of toil and struggle, joy and sorrow. We are on the last rung on the educational lad- der in the gift of our town and county. The affection of our class has been strong indeed, especially between two of our Seniors, one not desiring any longer to be a Single-ton plighted her troth in a Miller, for better or worse, and now they are one for life. On the morning of September the 5th there assembled in the Senior Class room sixty-nine enthusiastic boys and girls. They were auspicious enough to have with them their guardian of the past year, Miss Erom Grif- fin. The first question to be settled was the officers for the ensuing year. The following were elected: president, Robert Sellers; vice-president, Jo- anna Rawls; secretary, Marguerite Hildreth; treasurer, James Willoughby. Living up to the letter of our motto, “By our efforts we hope to rise,” has been the aim of every member of the class. The scholarship of our class ranks high, fourteen members being excused from all examinations at the end of the first semester and many others being excused from one or more. The deportment, also, is unexcelled by any class previously graduat- ing from our school. Our social functions have been delightful, especially were the follow- ing: the entertainment by the Freshmen with a Halloween party at the home of Evelyn Searcy, the entertainment our class gave the Hartford and C. C. H. S. football teams at the home of Joanna Rawls on November the 21st. Suffice it to say that ours are a lovely, loyal, patriotic, progressive and enthusiastic bunch of students who will graduate from the dear old Coffee County High School with high hopes and fond anticipations of future greatness in whatever course each may take in the battle of life. —HELENA CARLISLE, Class Historian. Senior Class Prophecy INCE this is the age in which the announcement of a marvelous invention causes little excitement, as when people went hun- dreds of miles to see Mr. Wright glide down a hill in an air buggy, it is only fitting and proper that I foretell the future of the Class of ’25 as I witnessed it over the great marvel of the age, the radio. As the old church clock was slowly donging out the mid- night hour, I went quietly to the farther corner of the room where the light from the fire cast long, weird shadows. Drawing up a chair, I sat down in front of my eight tube Highwater Cant set and turned on the elec- tricity. The little lamps soon flickered up and the old familiar buzz greeted me. I began turning the dials and soon a loud screech burst forth from the loud speaker. As the screeching and grinding became louder I was almost certain that I was approaching the wave length of a broadcasting station. Suddenly, there came in clear, loud tones these words: “Radio broad- casting station W L B F, World’s Largest Buttonhole Factory, Panicura, Mo. Please stand by for five minutes.” I recognized immediately the voice of one of our old classmates of years ago, Lorenzo Gunter. I looked at my wrist watch, while waiting for the five minute inter- mission to be over, mildly wondering if I would hear of any more old class members that night. Again the announcer’s voice came: “The Jefferson City Black Bottom Ramblers, under the direction of Mr. W. Guy Pouncey will render several jazz selections. Hold your seats.” After listening to several selections of mean music there came: “Miss Tera Byrd, graduate of Barker’s School of Expression, will tell the kiddies a bedtime story.” After this most interesting story, the announcer said, “We are very for- tunate in having with us tonight the famous operatic trio, Misses Catherine Snellgrove, Eura Carmichael and Mr. A. D. Griffin. They will render vo- cally “The Pirates of Penzance,” Miss Maecy Ragland, piano, and Mr. Elliot Ellis, violin, accomplished musicians accompanying them.” After listen- ing to the luring strains of the music my thoughts drifted back to old C. C. H. S. days. Suddenly, I was brought rudely back to earth by the an- nouncer saying, “Mr. Thornton Wright, the witty man of America, will entertain our invisible audience with snappy stories and jokes.” After listening to the familiar voice of “Tink,” there broke in the harsh singing of a dot and dash wireless station. As I knew something of the Interna- tional Code, I recognized the dots and dashes as a governmental message concerning the Vice President of The U. S., James Willoughby, and the American Minister to England, Robert Sellers, the message being sent by Mack Adams, whom I thought was at West Point. This interruption caused me to lose the broadcasting station and I finally “tuned in” on an- other station at Perlman, Ga., the town founded by the great stock broker, Abraham Perlman. The announcer at this station announced a lecture on “The Adoption of Better Methods of Controlling the Temperature of Ice Boxes” by ex-Governor Revel H. Searcy. The next number was a vocal treat by the Smokehouse Five; Wade Mixon, Richard Martin, Paul Mc- Ritchie, Malcolm Mclnnis, and Wilson Robinscn. Then came the report of the weather man, H. V. Jones. The announcer then said, “Miss Idelle Bovett will give a talk relative to her latest novel, “Ten Nights in a Bath- tub.” After this interesting talk, Minnie Lee Glover rendered a beautiful vocal solo entitled, “My Love Was in a Shipwreck. But He Grabbed a Cake of Soap and Washed Himself Ashore.” accompanied by Quinton Miller on the piano accordion. I found that this program was indeed an interesting one and I pricked up my ears when I heard the announcer sav, “Miss Bela Speigner, far-famed writer of young women’s stories, will give answers to letters asking her about love affairs.” The next radio number was unique in that it consisted of a playlet by the American Players, directed by .Tadie Armour and passed by the National Biscuit Comnanv. The cast, as best I remember were: Jewell Andrews. Ruby Murdock. Carrie Pierce. Rebecca Ramsay, Mae Reeves, Romulus Ellis, Olma Martin, and Fred Logan. The play was “The Old Farm.” Roy Brabham was the mortgage on the farm. The remaining part of the program was uninteresting and I tuned in on a station in London, England. Great was my surprise when the announcer said, “The Editor of the London Times, Miss Willie Mae Nichols, an- nounces that her paper will be published everv week instead of bi-monthly, as heretofore.” I was astonished also when it was announced that Sidney Mclnnis, the great American artist, was in London. The program was interesting, in that I recognized so many old school mates. William Ses- sions, the great doctor then in Oxford gave a splendid lecture on “The Anerobia Genus Leptothrix Microbe and Its Relation to the Flea.” Misses Ida and Fannie Hudson, talented sisters, gave several beautiful harmonica numbers. Miss Velma Watkins, U. S. Red Cross Representative to Eng- land, gave a t lk on “The Need for Snowshoes in Africa.” Lady Ineeda Saturdaybath (formerly Carabel Brunson) performed snlendidly on the pipe organ. I next picked up a station in Franangeles, Calif. The station was situated at the big sardine establishment of Alton Armour and Tom Eidson. The Female Pacific Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Miss Helena Carlisle was a special number on the program. I recognized several members of the orchestra as they were announced: Una Yelver- ton. Adah Helms, Armanda Speigner. Vera Reeves, Mary Love Martin. Ruth Martin and Ethelyn Fleming. Edna Goodson rendered a beautiful vocal solo entitled “He Was True to Me. but H’s Teeth Were False.” I no- ticed at this time that the air seemed to be “filled” with sending stations, sending anything from a bedtime story to a weather report. At one sta- tion in particular, Bessie Sue Price delighted her unseen audience with a detailed description of her new invention of a compact, worn as an ear- ring. The announcer read a telegram from Emory Summerset who said that he was thoroughly enjoying the program by the fireside out on his farm. As I turned one of the dials slightly, another broadcasting station broke in” and I heard the announcer say, “—and we will now be favored with a talk on “The Recent Developments in Football” by Mr. Harvie Jack- son, now coaching at Harvard.” This last station was located on the Har- vard College Grounds. I was surprised to hear that Joanna Rawls was starring in basketball at Harvard. Garie Smith had just been elected Assistant Teacher of Psychology and Director of Girls’ Athletics. At this time I was beginning to think I would hear nothing of Lamar Edwards, Mavis Caldwell and Marguerite Hildreth, but upon tuning in on a station in Nebraska, I learned that Lamar was becoming famous in his research work in unearthing history about the first settlers of the West. Mar- guerite, having becoming rich by virtue of marriage, had established a big institute for girls and gave a splendid talk on her work and her accom- plishments. Mavis Caldwell, the society favorite and club promoter, dis- cussed plans for better clubs for women throughout America. So ends my prophecy of the Class of ’25. Let us hope that nothing contained in the above will happen, for should we all rise to fame and for- tune, things would not revolve in their natural state. However, we do hope that each member of the Class who leaves the dear old school will bring credit and honor to the C. C. H. S. even though his deeds are small and may seem worthless in the sight of others. —BERTA SAGER, Class Prophet. Class Song (Tune: Chorus of “Sweetheart of Sigma Chi”) H! Alma Mater High School dear, We hate to say good-bye. We’ve pledged to you our loyalty. Abroad your colors we’ll fly. We’ll ever love you when we’re gone And strive to do the right, The school of our youth Standing for highest truth, C. C. H. S., the blue and white. We’ll love our class of ’25 For all we’ve ever done, For the spirit, love, and loyalty Shown by everyone. We’ve worked to give the best we've had; Toward higher goals we’ll strive With hearts light and gay We honor today The Class of ’25! ♦ Class Poem HEN the summer time was ending, In the year of twenty-four, Many footsteps then were wending Towards the open High School door. Gone the light days of vacation, Gone the idle, foolish fun, Then we all were on probation. Earnest work time had begun. Three long years we’d toiled together From beginning to the end. Whether dark or sunny weather, Each to other was a friend. I, Then we gathered in September For the fourth one and the best. Determined always to remember That our class should lead the rest. Every dream has proved a vision; We’ve pressed forward, on and on; We fought our battles with precision ’Til we saw commencement dawn. Paused at last upon the threshold We were saddened then to find There was alloy in our bright gold, Rue was mingled with our wine. i From our teachers and our schoolmates, Whom we honor and adore, We must go when duty dictates, Go away, to come no more. But our dear old Alma Mater From a distance we’ll recall. In our memory we can see her, Every classroom, every hall. Now the outside world has called us, We are glad to be alive— Work and victory still awaits us— The Senior Class of ’25. —TERA BYRD, Class Poet. L Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1925 THE STATE OF ALABAMA, COFFEE COUNTY. j We, the Graduating Class, of the Coffee County High School, of 1925, being of sound mind and generous nature, realizing the uncertainty of life, and the certainty of death, and that we are subject at any moment to be called from our earthly habitation to that Celestial Home above, do hereby make and publish this, our last Will and Testament, revoking all former wills heretofore made by us. Item I We do will and bequeath to our most beloved Faculty: The right to give to future classes the zeros which they have lavished on us, and the right of supreme rule over the Study Hall, thereby extract- ing all chewing gum and other causes of disturbance, from wayward pu- pils. To our beloved Principal, Mr. Snuggs, a man of great character and much ability, we leave our love, honor, respect, and best wishes. To Coach Johnson, a man of great ability in playing and coaching football, we'leave all hard-won honors in football. To our consecrated English teacher, Miss Smith, we leave the right to use all ideas, received from us concerning Lit- erature, in her future English work. To Miss Burdette, our painstaking Chemistry teacher, all knowledge and startling facts obtained through the performance of experiments, trusting that in the future, Science may profit by them. To Miss Griffin, our brilliant and beloved Latin teacher, we leave all prose compositions that we have produced, hoping that she may find rare entertainment concealed in same. To Miss Lewis, our His- tory teacher, we will our Library, consisting of nine “Review of Reviews,” one “American History,” and one “Government in State and Nations.” To Mrs. Johnson, we will a whole book of Cartoons. Item II We do hereby will and bequeath to the Class of ’26, our “best.” This includes our propensities for solving hard problems, accomplishing praise- worthy results in all our classes, co-operating heartily with our beloved faculty, and making Coffee County High the school it is today. We trust Shakespeare did not have us in mind when he said, “The evil that men do. lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.” Item III We do hereby give and bequeath to the Sophomores, deservedly named “wise fools,” part of our dignity and the right to occupy the important place of our proud, conceited Junior Class. _ Item IV To our baby brothers and sisters, the Freshman Class, we bequeath a request to be as kind to next year’s rats as we were to them, and the right to come out of their timid, bashful, babyish ways and to take up their du- ties as high school students.

H. JOHNSON J. W. HICKS J. H. JOHNSON Head Coach Mr. Johnson came from Auburn, Kentucky, at the be- ginning: of the school year. Even though he was a stran- ger to us at first, he is now a friend to every student in school. He has shown that he knows football as well as other athletics for he has turned out another champion- ship team to add to the list. Coach Johnson received his training at both Bethel College and University of Ken- tucky; is a graduate of the ’23 class of the University of Kentucky. He won three letters at Bethel College. We sincerely hope he will be with us next year to guide our team to honors. J. W. HICKS Assistant Coach “Captain” Hicks directed his efforts towards making a strong line out of what seemed to be a very weak one at the start of school. How well he succeeded was seen by everyone who viewed the latter games of the schedule. Capt. Hicks is a graduate of the University of Alabama and has four letters in football from that institution. His influence as a man, besides his knowledge of the game, helped to make the ’24 season the success it was. SAM PASCHAL (Lover). Captain: Tackle Sam has I teen with us for four years, serv- ing the last two as captain and as one of the best tackles in the State. He is a two-year letter man and received second mention for All-South-East Alabama team this year. A more popular boy has never worn the Wildcat colors, and it is with regret that C. C. H. S. bids their captain good-bye. JAMES WILLOUGHBY: Manager In James we have one of the best managers ever to come from C. C. H. S. He was always on time and ready to help the team in any way that he could. It will be hard to select another who will fill the place as well as he did. TOM EIDSON (Short): End “Short” has been with us so long that he has come to be re- garded as a sort of fixture at end position. He has given C. C. H. S. some faithful and bril- liant service and will be hard to replace. He also was voted first place as end on the All- South-East Alabama team this yefcr. ROBERT SELLERS (Jerry): CONDY CLOVER (Lemon): Center When we say Sellers we are speaking of one of the scrappi- est centers that ever hit this part of the country. He was one of the outstanding stars and to him went first place as u guard on All-South-East Ala- bama team this year. Sellers hails from Ozark. Alabama. Half and Quarter For two years this valuable man has served the Coffee Coqn- ly High School and served it well. His two years have been responsible ones and Glover will be depended on to round out the hackfield next year. QUINTON MILLER (Quint): Quarter He has held down the signal calling job for Ihree years and has made a corking good job of it. too. Quint is one of the best all-round players on the team and special mention might be made of the great interference he has given his backfleld mates this year. JOE SLAWSON i Hurc.): Halfback When you want a gain, just call on Hurc and you will be sure to gel it. He is about the fastest back on the team and is hard to get by while playing defense. Great things are expected of him next year on the team, his last year. HARVEY JACKSON (Jack): Fullback ••Jack” is a mighty hard man to stop when he is given the ball. By the time he falls, the htad linesman finds it necessa- ry to advance the stick quite a bit on account of his length. He has also done great work in backing up the team. ROY BRABHAM (Brabl : Halfback A fleet halfback has been lost to the Blue and White, for Brab bas raced down the Peanut Sta- dium his last time. He was a valuable man and his loss will be keenly felt. REVEL SEARCY (Jelly): Tackle Searcy, who has rejoiced un- der the name of Jelly’' is one of the Wildcats’ stalwart tackles. When the C. C. H. S. Hall of Fame is completed, his name must be written on the scroll. For two years he has given his all to upholding the glory of the Coffee County High School. ROY HARRIS (Buck): Guard His first year on the team has been most successful and whenever a vacancy occurred in the line. “Buck ably filled the place. EMORY SUMMERSET (Summer) : Guard Summersett earned his letter by stopping many a line-buck with his weight. He has speed and has proven to be one of the powers of the line. WILLIE SAM McGILVREY I Sam i : Right End McGilvrey will be back in togs next year and will prove a much better man. He plays u steady game and it will take a good man to fill his shoes after he is gone. GUY POUNCEY (Push!: Right End In Guy we have an excep- tionally fine end. He is a hard fighter and always showed his mettle when in a game. This is his last year and he will be missed by the team next football season. TOM WHIGHAM (Tome Guard Tom played a good game, all the time doing his share and helping others to do their share. He has one more year with the Wildcats. REUBEN ARMOUR (June) : Halfback Armour is one of the light members of the team but makes up for it in a very great amount of speed and nerve. He has had three years' experience. JOHN DYE � Eggs : Tackle One of the reasons for the fighting line of the CotTee County High School is John Dye. He is a guard of the finest quality and ranks among the first. He has served two years on the team. OSCAR L. McCALL (Mac� : Guard - McCall has only been with the Wildcats one season, but during this time he has proved himself a worthy member. He is a great player and if he returns next year, watch him go. IRIE McINTOSH (Mac� : Left End Mac” has seen his record year on the team and made good this year, always holding his side of the line. He will be put with the boys next year. THORNTON WRIGHT (Tink) : Quarter Tink. this year's quarter on the second team, is considered one of the lightest members of the snuad. His work will be missed next year. A HERBERT WHITE (Doc): Left End Though light he is a hard hitter and mean tackier. Doc” will be back next year rarin to go. He will be good material. EDGAR WHITEHEAD (Ed): Tackle Whitehead is another member of the team who confesses an aspiration on the C. C. H. S. squad. This is his first year. H. V. JONES (Veady): Fullback Three years he has been with the Wildcat squad. If speed and gameness make a football player, Veady'’ will come in on the prize. He hits the line like an army caterpillar. LORENZO GUNTER (Cunt): Guard Speaking of hard fighters, well, we have it here in Gunt.” He has dealt great pain to more than one opposing linesman and other teams will be glad to know that he will not be wich the Wildcats next year. LUCIUS FLOYD (Milkshake): Center Although he was not in the varsity line-up. he was always ready to go when his time came. He should prove a good man next year. Review Football Season 1924 Opp, September 26th ON September the 26th the Coffee County High School opened its 1924 football season. This game was with Opp and credit must be given them for the fight they put up. C. C. H. S. did not score until the second quarter. In the second half two more touchdowns were made and when the game ended the score was 21 to 0 in favor of the Wildcats (C. C. H. S.) Luverne, October 3rd HE next game was with Luverne and this time there was a some- Cy I what different score from that of last year. This year it was 40 to 0 while last year it was only 7 to 6 favor the Wildcats. The team was a bit slow at first but it did not take long for them to settle down. It was in this game that Brabham got away for a long run, giving the side lines its first thrill. Luverne completed several forward passes at the close of the game. Florala, October 10th Wildcats next journeyed to Florala for their first game away C� | from home, and were accompanied by 250 loyal fans. We had ex- ■ pected a stronger resistance than was offered and when the game ended with the score of 20 to 0 it was indeed a surprise. Sellers played a great game and was a demon in the line. In this game the team struck its stride for the first time. Elba, October 24th ELBA High School was the next victim to visit Enterprise. They went home carrying with them a 79 to 6 defeat. The game was excellent practice for the Wildcats and the team showed wonderful results from excellent coaching. Slawson carried the ball at one time for 55 yards and at another for 60 yards and a touchdown. The line worked like a ma- chine, whether composed of “Grasscutters” or varsity. This shows that there are 35 or 40 men at C. C. H. S. who can play ball and there are 2 or 3 to take Slawson’s place without weakening the team. Palmer College, October 31st IT WAS here that the tide turned for C. C. H. S. Palmer College took home the honors. They had defeated us by the score of 12 to 6. At the beginning of the game it looked as though both teams were evenly matched. Palmer scored in the first quarter and again in the last. C. C. H. S. also scored her touchdown in the last period. As Palmer College is a Junior College and not in the conference the game did not count against our championship standing. Andalusia, November 7th ■y«HIS was our second game away from home and again we were fol- lowed by a large number of loyal fans. In the first quarter Slawson carried the ball over the line but the umpire ruled that the ball was fumbled and recovered by an Andy player. It was in the second quarter that Andalusia pulled a trick play which Enterprise claimed was unfair. This caused considerable argument which lasted for quite a while. Finally the ball was given to Andalusia on Enterprise’s 17 yard line. At the be- ginning of the fourth quarter the ball was in the possession of Andy but it soon went over to Enterprise. It was here that Coach Johnson called the game on account of darkness. Neither side had scored. The game ended 0 to 0. Dothan, November 14th ENTERPRISE went into this game with her backfield in the poorest conditon at any time of the season. Miller, Slawson, Glover, and Brabham were in crippled condition, leaving only Jackson to carry more than half the burden for nearly three-quarters when he was removed from the game, exhausted. Dothan scored early in the first quarter and Enterprise came back strong and tied the score. C. C. H. S. scored in the second quarter more as a result of superior punting, neither side at this time being able to advance the ball consistently. The score was now 12 to 6 in favor of Enterprise. There was no scoring in the third quarter, but in the latter part of the fourth period Dothan turned loose a series of beau- tiful passes that carried the ball down the field for a touchdown. The game ended with Enterprise making a desperate effort to score with the ball on Dothan’s thirty yard line. Hartford, November 21st HARTFORD came to Enterprise in high hopes but they went home with a different feeling. They were defeated 34 to 0, not making a single first down. C. C. H. S. made a touchdown in the first few min- utes of play and before the quarter ended they had another to their credit. It was the third quarter until C. C. H. S. scored again. Only one touchdown was scored in the fourth period. The victors had the better of their oppo- nents throughout and never at any time looked threatening, even though at one time the ball was carried to C. C. H. S.’s ten yard line. Troy, November 28th ON Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, the curtain was rung down on the final act of football for the season of 1924, so far as the Coffee County High School was concerned. This was the first time in his- tory that Troy High had opposed the Wildcats and she will not soon forget the first invasion she made to the Peanut Stadium. Fifteen touchdowns was the harvest of the day and eight extra points were added by the toes of Eidson, Glover and Miller. During the third period an exclusively Senior team was in action and added over thirty points to the score. « Season’s Review of Basketball —p HE 1925 basketball season for the Coffee County High School was Cl the best that the school has experienced in years. The team made L a fine record, losing only three games out of the eleven played. C. C. H. S....................... 26 C. C. H. S...................... 19 C. C. H. S....................... 4 C. C. H.
