Flippin High School - Bobcat Yearbook (Flippin, AR)

Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1952 volume:

The Bobcat 1951-1952 Flippin, Arkansas DEDICAI IOh We the Senior Class of 1951-52 wish to dedicate thisannualto the future classesof Flippin High School. The picture above is the front exterior of the new building. It houses rooms that are cheerful with pas- tel colored walls, many windows that let in the bright sunshine, and even heat. You may not recognize the picture at the left as the front of the boiler in the heating system. It takes the place of many pot-bellied stoves which were too hot as you stood near them and let you freeze only a few feet away. Now we have regulated heat in both grade school and high school. Tothe classes to come who will have the privilege of studying in this modern building, we extend our wishes for many happy schooldays'. - Superintendent William E. Hayes, Superintendent of Schools, looks quite pleased in his new office. He has a right to be happy after the long hours of worry over losing the high school building last year and the con- struction of a modern plant this past sum- mer. Superintendent Hayes is a graduate of Arkansas College and received his mas- ter' s degree from the University of Arkan- sas. This business of checking records looks to be a serious undertaking as Charles M. Wison, High School Principal, and Mr. Hayes study the new permanent re- cord. Just to the left and forward from this desk is a fireproof vault which protects such records as these. The fire consumed all past records but the new build- ing looks to the future...to many years of housing school children without fear of destruction by fire. Mr. Hayes will tell you that one of the happiest days of his life was December 31, 1951, the day school was interrupted to move into the new building. Schoo | Board Much of the worry and sleepless nights fell on the school board as they worked to replace the charred ruins. Now, they can point with pride to the centrally heated, well lighted school building that was only a faint dream a few months ago. The board members are: E. L. Hud- dleston, President; Gus McCracken, Ralph Wood, J. B. Osborn, and Durwood Sanders. W V li jli School f arulfij C. M. LINN-Girls Coach, Commercial. MRS. MARY STEVENS-Home Economics.

Pictured at the top are Ruby Pangle, Lunchroom Supervisor; Mrs. Joe Rorie, Mrs. Alice Wood, and Mrs. Gatha Hurst. These women are responsible for the daily hot lunches that are a mark of progress all over Arkansas. Carl Huddleston, the janitor, is pictured as he sweeps the hall of the new building. Fred Bearden drives a bus in from Buffalo, does minor repairs around school, cares for the buses, and always has a bit of wisdom to pass on.

HAI LOWEEM CAPNIVAI Ghosts and goblins among other things were present at the Flippin Fall Festival, the annual Halloween Carnival. Patsy Lee reigned as high school queen over the festivities. Her' escort was Ranson B. Drew. Caroll Stanley was queen of the grade school. Her escort was Ellis Hayes. Activities included were the Halloween Parade, staged by the grade school, fortune telling, cake walk, novelty stands, apple bobbing, spook house, and a negro minstrel. The Carnival raised $496. This money was used to purchase science equipment. I uture I omemakers of America Flippin Chapter's activities for the year have included the building of an outdoor fireplace, wei- ner roasts, formal and informal initiation, parties with F.F.A. boys, annual fashion show Out of this World , and bake sales. Officers for the year shown at the left are: Helen Moore, President; Frances Hurst, Joy San- ders, Christine Evans, Norma Flippin, Shirley Jefferson, Frankie Keeter, Betty Jean Hurst, and Kathleen Hurst. I uture Farmers ol America The Future Farmer s of America under the sponsorship of W. C. Stevenson started their year with informal initiation. The freshman boys donned horsecollars, ladies hats and lip- stick for the occasion. One of the main events of the year was the sale of chances on a Thanks- giving turkey. Gerald Hurst won the FFA T- shirt for selling the most chances. Officers are: Benjamin McGowne, Pres- ident; Bill Henry, Noel Pangle, Pete McCrac- ken, George Wilkinson, Chuck Sanders, and L. Don Ott. Cheerleaders Being a cheerleader may sound exciting and easy but long trips and the strenuous exercise that goes with it require a great deal of endurance and school loyalty. In their red culottes, red kerchiefs and white blouses, these three lovelies inspired their teams to do their best in each contest. Faye Campbell, Juanita Johnson, and Betty Hussey make up this trio of active Co-eds that have served their school as cheerleaders for the year of 1951-52. I bp Bobcat The high school annual is a publica- tion of the senior class. The editorial staff was Mary James, Editor; Betty Hurst, Co-Editor; Sylvia Linck, Art and Picture Editor; Keith Treat, Feature Ed- itor; G. E. Estes, Business Manager; Velma Kirkland, A ssistant Business Man- ager; and Kenneth Campbell and Retha Marchant, Co-Sports Editors. Much of the work was done at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stevens where food was never ending and good times abounded. They are pictured below washing dishes. The rolling pin was just washed, not used as indicated that it might be. Bobcat I ulletin The Bobcat Bulletin is a project of the journalism class. This school paper is published bi-weekly as a voice of Flip- pin High School and is a member of the Arkansas High School Press Association. The staff members are Mary James and Keith Treat, Co-Editors; Velma Kirk- land, Business Manager; Retha Marchant, and George Elmer Estes, Sports Editors; Katherene James, Feature Editor; Betty Padgett and Leta Jo Henderson, Cartoons. W. R. Stevens sponsored and financed this project. I Without their own gym to workout in everyday, the Flippin Senior girls practiced in Cotter once or twice a week but out of the first 22 games, the Bobcats brought home 18 victories. The sextet that is responsible for this record is: Connie Burris, who had a 17.5 point average per game up to Jan. 19, is a Junior; Retha Mar- chant, Senior forward and guard; Patsy Lee,Jun- ior forward; Grace Osborn, Junior guard, missed part of the season because of a knee injury; Velma Kirkland, a Senior guard; and Wanda Pangle, a Junior guard. That victory record wouldn't be possible with- out a long string of substitutes. Helen Moore, Sophomore forward; Sylvia Ros- amond, Junior guard; Barbara Moore, Sopho- more guard; Mary Parnell, Junior forward; Joyce McCracken, Junior guard; and Joy Mae Sanders, Freshman forward; are only a part of this list of super-subs. These girls have proved themselves many times during the season and two of them will fill the shoes of the two graduating seniors. D Continuing the list of subs, you see Reola Da- vis, Freshman forward, Nadyne Wood, Freshman guard, Frankie Keeter, Freshman guard, Kris- tine Green, guard who has moved, Mary Rea, So- phomore guard, and Christine Evans, Sophomore forward. All of these subs have done well under game conditions. The Norfork coach, seeing his team trounced, wanted Mr. Linn to put in his third team, but they did just as well, winning 58 to 7. The team averaged 15 points over their opponents per game, 39.2 to 24.5, up to Jan. 19. The record is good. The team lost to the win- ners of the state invitation tournament but looked good, even in losing. The Bobcat Junior boys didn't turn in an im- pressive record but they did turn in a fighting spirit that is hard to overlook. The fact that this was the first season for all of these boys but one must be considered. The first five are: Hal Johnson, Freshman forward; Kelly Ott, Freshman center; Lowell Marchant, Freshman guard; John James, Fresh- man guard; and Hal Hurst, Freshman forward. Next year's Junior team will have only three members with any experience behind them. Sammy Stovall, Freshman forward, will move to the Senior team with the starting five. George Hussey, seventh grade guard, Don Treat, seventh grade guard, and Gary Merritt, seventh grade forward, will have two years more in the Junior circuit. The senior boys team will lose three players via the graduation route. G. E. Estes, forward, has made sports a major element in his high school ca- reer. Edsel Finley, forward, and Bill Henry, guard, were subs this year but always working for the team. On this page, you see: Pete McCracken, G. E. Estes, Chuck Sanders, James Stucks, George Wil- kinson, Ranny Drew, and George Balleau. As mentioned. Bill and Edsel graduate this year but Bob Hurst, sophomore, has two promising years to go along with George Balleau. Pete, Chuck, James, George, and Ranny are all juniors with one year to go. C. M. Hicks has done a good job with the boys even though victory wasn't always in store. The fighting spirit was always there. It has been hard on all three teams to not have their own gym to work in...maybe '52-'53 will see that problem solved. KARL MARSHELL ESSO STATION ( JEWELER BILL. KING. OWNER FLIPPIN ARK.
