May its humor, its pictures, and its mem- ories of dear old FSHS forever remind you of the days we have spent togeth- er. Read it, treasure it-for we of the Bruin staff feel that this book, with its song-hit theme, will preserve, at least for a few years, the memory of the school days filled with interest- ing things to do and many happy oc- casions.

She holds a special place in the hearts of all who know her, and her leadership as our class sponsor last year was one never to be forgotten. We know that she will mean as much to the students of years to come as she does to us and that her energy and enthusiasm will con- tinue to help make this school one of which we are all proud. -r r Q T A CONTENTS - v,,-,v4Q'r,'r-v-,Y--f I.

Delmar To a school board such as that of the Fort Smith pub-lic schools, the community owes a debt for untiring' service which can be paid only in unfailing support of the b0ard's efforts toward ever-higher educational standards for the city. Fort Edwards, Bruce H. Shaw, William Slates. Smith has indeed been fortunate in the membership of its school board, for it is made up of citizens who stand high in commun- ity regard as leaders in their respective fields and in civic affairs. One change in membership occurred this year, Bruce H. Shaw being elected to succeed John P. Woods, who retired after eighteen years, service on the board including twolyears as president. At the board's election of officers. Raymond F. Orr. who had been named to a new term on the board, was again chosen as president and J. Fred Patton was re-elected vice- president. The Class of 1948 extends to the board members its sincere appreciation of their work and pledges itself to follow their example in support of education as adult Fort Smithians. John P. Woods w 4 SUPERINTENDENT J. W. Ramsey One of the reasons why the Fort Smith scihool system ranks an'ong the best in the Southwest is its superintendent. J. W. Ramsey, who has filled this position ably for many years. Mr. Ramsey has long- been Administrators and has often been of educational trends has been of his service extends into many other active in the American Association of School numbered among its officers. His knowledge great value to the Fort Smith schools, and community affairs. To Mr. Ramsey goes the sincere appreciation of the Class of 1948 for many efforts in their behalf. PRINCIPAL fi 49 1, if C. was Elmer Cook Mr. Cook has been invaluable to students of Fort Smth High School because of his understanding and sincere interest in their welfare. Besides meeting admirably the tasks of running a large high school, he welcomes any opportunity to help indivi- dual students. Mir. Cook has been in large degree responsible for development of thc school's broad system of extra-curricular activities. Espcially interested in student government, he has on many occasions aided the Student Council toward more effective Work. The Class of 1948 will remember Mr. Cook as a fine principal as well as a good friend. DEAN OF GIRLS Opal Horn As dean of girls, Miss Horn has been helpful to every senior girl through her interest and foresi,q'ht in connection with student problems. In addition to helping' the girls plan and carry out their high school programs, she has assisted many in selection of their colleges and she has helped others find jobs. Miss Horn's task as dean is a difficult one requiring a great deal of patience and understanding. The Class of 1948 thinks her performance ranks her anions' the hest. DEAN OF BOYS PP-'S' M. P. Riedel All senior boys know that Mr. Riedel has played an important role in their having arrived successfully at the point of graduation, He has been of special service in helping them arrange courses in the light of their hest interests, and he has responded to all calls upon him for advice and assistan -e in connection with the myriad problems besetting students in the course of their senivr hifgh scheol careers, The Class of 1948 sees in Mr. Riedel a friend as well as an efficient adviser and extends its thanks for his efforts in their hehalf.

The precision marching and har- monious music produced by the bandsmen have received recognition at band clinics held throughout the state. Degerving much praise but asking for none, the band has fought along' with the Pep Squad and the football boys at both home and road games. The high school has come to depend on the band to put on a good performance in rain or shine, and the band always does. Marching many times through rain or on a muddy field, the musicians have proved their loyal support of the Grizzlies. One of the many public appearances the band made this year was at the Freedom Train program. Another civic function to which the Bruin bandsmen added entertainment, assistance, and dignity was the annual Armistice Day celebration held on Garrison Avenue. These examples indicate the nature of many calls on the band for community service. Under the direction of Glenn Stark the first semester, the band presented an assembly program that represented many hours of early-morning practice. A large group of Fort Smith citizens attended the Christmas concert, which included semi- classical, classical, novelty, and Christmas numbers. Serving as drum major for the year was Bill Powell, who expertly led the band through its difficult maneuvers and boosted the morale of the group when it was tired from intensive marching, Several members of the band are students in junior college who have continued with the band because of their interest in music. When W. H. Dyer took over direction of the band the second semester, the musicians continued their fine work and spirit of cooperation. Officers for the year were: Kemal Kutait, presidentg Bob Apple, vice-president, Bob Irvin, secretaryg and Carolyn Jacobs, treasurer.

OF THE BRUIN Editors Much work and cooperation was needed hetween the editors to produce a successful yearbook. Wade Eg'bert, Diann Dykes, and Charles Lester did a wonderful job of work- ing together with the staff. They deserve much praise for their excellent job of produc- ing the 1948 yearbook. which represents many hours of leisure given up to work on The Bruin. Wade managed the staff well, and Diann proved an invaluable assistant. Charles proved his ability by his work on printing The Bruin. At top: Charles Lester. Wade Egbert. Diann Dykes. Advisers Working hard and asking' no credit were Delmer Ashworth, Guy Hixson, and C. H. Tohlcr. Without their counsel-and. often. their orders-the 1948 Bruin could not have been a success. The senior class is grateful for their help. Below: Guy Hixson. Delnner Ashworth. C. H. Tohler, Editors' Folly By Wade Egbert and Diann Dykes As we peeked out of the 'bars of the County Home for the Helpless, where we have been confined for the past thirty-three years, suffering from Bruinitis, whom should we see but Martin Cleoprofucious Ditto making his daily rounds as a tiller of the soil. As usual, he had an abundance of dirt, and passed the following to us' Marian Embrey was last seen in the Broadway production of Baggy Knees, being qualified for the part after two years as Head Yeller. Playing opposite her was Charles Romeo,' Jones portraying the part of Six-Gun Mittyf' The '4Montague of this production was none other than Roy Luper. On the top row of the balcony of the Blackout Theatre was seen Roebuck Putman, the noted spy of the stage, and his secretary, Alex Hamil. The latter is famous for his column 'Bachelor's Life. Currently heard on Daily by Bailey fBetty Lou, that isj were the P. U. Trio fMcNeil, Freemon, and Windsorl and the famous Mumbles Quartet CSeabolt, Scan- lon, Gray, and Woody singing the popular ballads of S. A.

Speaking of sailors, Bob Bucket Rhyne has just graduated from Annapolis, where he has been attaining his master's degree for the past thirty years. K Oh, have you hfard about Butch LaVasque and Delores Ash 'Z They have finally finished paying for the majorette costumes they lost, remember, way back in '47, Molly Roy, accompanied by her secretary, Carolyn Crane, has returned from Europe, where she was sent to make a rtport on Russia Got Fooled-The U. S. Had It. While in Europe she met Queen Sue Duncan I of Rheumatisia fthe gal voted t'Most Likely To Succeed way back whenl. Serving as Queen Sue's maids were Wilma Dillie-Daller Dolan and Billie Lab-Lo Lehman. Holding a high place in the eyes of the queen is the Court Joker, Nancy I Crack 'Emi' Coleman. The world was shocked by the abdication of the throne of Skunkhollow by King J. P. McGinty. Rumors are flying that it was for the love of a Princess. The latest comic strip, Courtship of Zan-Zanzabarf' which has dirawn nation- wide attention is the creation of Clyde Gamble. He received his inspiration from working on The Bruin in '48 Having reported this gossip to us, Cleoprofucious suddenly exclaimed, HI must be off-just remembered that I've got a conference with a fellow who wants to buy my carrot crop. We farmers have to look ahead these days. Only got 358,000 for my okra this year, and live got to make up for it on something else. I'll be seeing you!

I-IOMECGMING Thanksgiving day dawned clear and cold for the homecoming game. Queen Betty Carroll. escorted by Captain Troy Snow, was the center of attraction as C. F. Byrns placed the crown on her head. Following the queen were her maids, Carolyn Freemon. Betty Seabolt, Gloria Ellington, and Diann Dykes, escorted by Bill Seabolt, Bob Rhyne. Rodney Wells. and Lee Ben Scanlon. respectively. The Pep Squad. escorted by the other football boys, formed the rest of the royal procession. The signal for the escorts' grand salute to the queen and her maids was the exchange of the football and flowers by Queen Betty and Captain Troy. Cameras snapped and the Pep Squad sighed as five boys on the squad got morale boosters. The boys well deserved the cheers of the crowd and Pep Squad throughout the game. They fought the gridiron battle of the year to win 6 to 0 over the Hot Springs Trojans. Immediately after the crowning of the queen, prizes were presented to the winning floats of the homecoming parade. In the picture: Dykes, Freemon, Carroll. Ellington, Seabolt. FCDOTBALL Football has been the Outstanding sport in FSHS for many years. Several times in the course of these years our teams won the state championship. The Grizzly A team improved greatly this year as the season progressed and showed up especially well in the last two games played. Sportsmanship, aggressiveness, and co-operation have long been the traits of the Grizzlies. MEMBERS: First row-Tripp, Seabolt, Newsum, Thompson, Scanlon, Harwood, Little, Jones, Moore, Mitchell, and McMahon, second row-Hassell, Puckett, R. Wells, Taylor, Scott, Snow, Rhyne, Bolinger, Toller, Lane, and Novinskyg thfird row-Coach Robbins, McDowell, Anderson, Williams, Smith, Kraft, Satterfield, K. Thompson, Nicholas, Morgan, Gilbert, and Coach Jones. HOWARD BOLINGER-Junior End Howard, coming' to FSHS at the end of his sophomore year from Grand Pass, Oregon, lettered his first year out for football. He was a fine pass receiver as well as a strong defensive player. Next year as a returning letterman he will be better than ever. CHARLES COLEMAN-Junior End Besides being a regular at one of the end posts Pookie was an all- round athlete having lettered in both track and basketball in his sophomore year. His endurance and adaptability made him an as- set to the Grizzly teams. MORRIS FARRIS-Junior Center Farris, the heaviest man on the team, contributed greatly to the strength of the forward wall. He was always in there fighting, and spectators learned to expect a de- pendable performance at his po- sition. He should be a real threat next year. RALPH GA M lVl ILL-Senior Guard One of the best prospective play- ers at the beginning of the season because of his experience as a let- terman, Ralph was really deter- mined to set a pace at his guard position, but a foot injury kept him out of football most of the season. LLOYD HARVVOOD--Junior Rack Another promising junior in the backfield slot was Lloyd Harwood. He was a good passer as well as a good open-field runner. His punt- ing ability frequently pulled the Grizzlies out of a tight spot. With experience and his natural football ability, he should help put the Grizzlies on top next season. WAYNE HASSELL-Senior End Wayne played a good game at his end position and frequently was a big obstacle to the opponents' of- fensive. His height helped make him an effective pass receiver. Here is another senior that the team and fans will miss next year, CHARLIE JONES-Senior Back Charlie saw much service for the Red and White this year. He did most of the passing for the Bruins and was also a good punter. This year winds up a three-year foot- ball career which has aided the Grizzly teams greatly. FRAZER MARSHALL-Senior Back Marshall was a quick and elusive runner and his aggressiveness often tended to spark the Grizzlies on- ward. He gained experience on the reserves for two years and proved to -be one of the most capable backs that the Grizzlies had. HAROLD McDOWELL-Senior Tackle After playing on the reserve squad his sophomore and junior years, '1Bruno really developed into an excellent tackle in his senior yea1'. He showed good blocking and tack- ling ability and was frequently underneath the pile of players to get his man. DAVID McMAHON-Junior Center Although this was his first year to win the coveted F, David proved himself to he an efficient part of the Grizzly machine. His good spirit and aggressiveness will make him a valuable asset to the team of '48 A BUDDY MOORE-Sophomore Back With two full years ahead of him. this speedy little fullback should go far to help make the Grizzlies leaders in Arkansas high school football. He frequently bucked the line for the necessary yardage for a first-and-ten. RICHARD NICHOLAS Sophomore-Tackle Dick was a large fellow who helped strengthen the line and his aggres- siveness made him an asset. He played with the B team the first part of the season 'but made the A squad before long. ROR RHYNE-Senior 'Fa ckle Bob is the last of the Rhyne boys to make' Grizzly football teams. He wound up his football career in a big way as a two-year letter- man. Bucket was a ,qood offen- sive and defensive player and many times broke through the opponents' line to pull down the hall carrier. LEE BEN SCANLON-Senior Rack Lee Ben. was a passer. Dunter, and runner-a combination which made him a threat to any opposing team. He often made a hole through the line or went around the end for gains. His services as a Bruin ,grid- man will he sorely missed next year. HILL SEABOIII'-Senior Back Billy, a two-year letter-man, spark- ed the Bruin offensive on many occasions. A favorite with the fans. Little Dynamite was often call- ed upon to take the ball to make the necessary yardage, He will he hard to replace next year because of his outstanding ability. TROY SNOXV-Senior Gun rd 'tRadar's defensive ability was proved time and again as he smear- ed opposing 'ball carriers. He was chosen Homecoming' Captain by his mates and helped lead them to a 6-0 victory over Hot Springs. He is a two-year letterman. George Taylor-Senior Guard George played a heads-up brand of football at his guard position and deserved praise for his quick thinking. A guard usually receives little credit, but Punchy filled the position as only the best could, He is a senior who will not be quickly forgotten. D Billy Thompson-Senior Back Bubbles proved to be the back- bone of the Grizzly backfield on many occasions. Although he was not as tall as most, his speedy ball carrying proved that height isn't everything in a football player. He graduates this year as a two-year letterman. BILL TOLLER-Junior End Bill proved to be one of the better Grizzly ends because of his height, determination to win, and his pas- sing and receiving ability. Here is a fellow who will help produce a winning team when the Grizzlies take the field next year. DONNELL WELLS-Junior Back Donnell is a strong and heavy back who was used many times to buck the line for the yards that were needed. He consistently improved through the season and will be a good prospect for one of the start- ing posts next year, RODNEY WELLS--Senior Tackle Rodney was a stalwart foe for every opposing gfridman. His ahil- ity to charge on the defensive made his contribution to the Bruin team outstanding. Rodney also lettered in his junior year. TOM GRAY and SAM WOOD Student Managers The student managers for the 1947 grid campaign were Tom Virgil Gray and Sammy Chig'- f:er Wood. These boys were al- ways on hand when equipment. a word of encouragement, or any- thing else was needed. 3, Q Track .-ff, ws MEMBERS: First row-Gean, Newsum, McCormick, J.

Billy turned in a fine sea- son as one of the most aggfresiive ball players of the Grizzly quintet. JERRY CHASTAIN Jerry, a junior, was high-point man for the Grizzlies this year. Although not as tall as most centers, he displayed a lot of class to spear- head his team's attack. ZACKIE CLEMENTS A sophomore with promise as a regular guard for next year, Zackie frequently broke into the line-up to play good haskethall. FHARIIEF VOLENIAY Charles was switched from forward to guard this year and has performed well at the new position. This was his second Vear to letter. CHARLIE JONES Charlie. senior and a two-year letterman, al- ways put up a big scrap for the Red and White. His skill at forward will be missed. J. C.

LEE BEN SCANLON Scanlon put in his last year on the Bruin quintet and was an able guard of consider- able skill. His services will be missed by next year's team, BILL STA NLEY Stanley, a senior, was Chastain's understudy at the center position and was an able reserve. This was his first year to win the coveted UF. HERMAN THOMAS A sophomore, Herman possessed such skill that he was placed on the regular team. He rlribbles the ball well and always manages to work it into scoring position.
