Four years ago, one September morn We started to High School with courage reborn. We vowed we'd let pleasures all go to heck, And take old knowledge around his neck. But try as we might, our vows wouldn't, last, And we played and we worked, as in the days past. One day was for work, the other for play, And now we have come to the end of the way. Those who have stuck, in fair days and bad, Have got what they wanted, and now they're so glad: For the time will soon come, when We surely will need The things we have learned in the best High School creed. We thought teachers hard, and they thought us tough, But they taught us our lessons and that was enough. Then in the future, why, we'll give thanks to all, And wish we'd done better, while rolling the ball. But the time has now come, after four years' hard ride, When goodbye must be said to our dear old hill-side. So, goodbye, dear classmates, and teachers and friends. We hope you'll be happy until the world ends. A -Mildred Smith. Class Song s Dear old Grove, oh how we hate to leave you! You have been our friend for all these years, But we are glad to say that we are through, And happy that we've won our laurels too. We have worked together all these years And tried to do the very best we couldg But we have said that we will surely not shed tears, Because we know we've done the things we should. Four' long yea-rs we've worked at dear old Grove High And counted every year passed by, And hoped that each might be our last one To say that we are glad the battle's Won. But now that we have come to that time, We will then leave old Grove High behind. So we have done the best we could in these four years, And now for Grove High School we give three cheers. -Katherine Wheatley.

Ns!! . ., Mn Sify rsiiit ':- ' Tl-IE-FUTURIST Class History Remember that day when a hundred of us more or less trudged up the hill? Our first day in high school! Fear, mingled with wonder and joy, was a part of our thoughts as we found ourselves among other and more advanced students. Fear, that' we were doing the Wrong thing, wondering if others felt as out-of-place as we looked and joyous than our many and varied shades of green did not clash so bad. After all, you know, we were 'a fine looking bunch, in our own estimation. What was everyone so quiet about?' Oh, yes, there was Principal Matthews rising and talking to us, giving new hope in every Word that We too might 1'each the goal of a graduate. With a rush of spirit .and enthusiasm, we started our four-year career. Sam Joneswas our first president and serving with him were Vice President Floyd Rawls, secretary and treasurer, Gus Singleton. Football and baseball stars were both made that year, Sam Jones bringing off the laurels in football and Neil Andrews in baseball. Our scholastic attempt resulted in Maurice Martin receiving the Undergraduate Medaland also Winning in a stat-e-wide W. C. T. U. contest. Q Our sophomore year found us some what diminished in number, but still we were able to yell and yell loud. Neil Andrews was elected president, Jimmie Diggs, vice presidentg Ernestine Elam., secretaryg Woodie Lou Diggs, treasurer. Our honors in football were ln- creased by Carter, Mims and Timmons. Baseball letters were made by James and Doris Guthrie and James Mansfield. ' Juniors! Upper-classmenl Big Sisters! How important we feltl James Mansfield became our president, Johnnie Gorman, vice president: Ernestine Elam treasurer 'and Donna Postlethwaite, secretary. Our athletic efforts were well received with nine football boys-, six on the baseball team with Julia Sensing their queen, three on the boys' track team and six of our own girls on the girls' track team. , . Only 67 of us returned to become Seniors. The honor of class president went to Joe Mims, vice president to Joe Howard, secretary, Rosalind Rogers, and treasurer, Doortlry McCall. On the gridiron Carter, Andrews, Mims, Timmons, Mansfield, Gorman, Howard, and Whipple played for Ole Grove. On .the diamond the Guthrie brothers, Andrews, Mansfield, Lax and Whipple represented us. Vida Miller was the school's popular football queen. Charles Hendley represented Grove as school orator in the literary, meet. His oration on World Peace won first place for our school. Jimmie Diggs, representative in InterlClass Contest, won second place. s U . All in all, we graduates feel that our four years at Grove have been happy and success- ful. May others who are to take our place meet with the same good fortune that we have known. h . . , Woodie L. Riddick. Qian' I J 4' Jia ' ,A., . o r -:- ' THE-FUTURIST : -:- Senior Prophecy After teaching school for ten years, I dwided on a well-earned rest for myself, but for the life of me ,I couldn't decide where or how to go. Being of a very adventuresome nature, despite my years of solitary confinement, I decided just to travel a.nywhere, anyway. Hastily slinging a moderate wardrobe together, I caught the first train north, heading for New York. While busily engaged watching the old beloved places pass out of sight, I was startled when a voice spoke almost in my ear. Ticket, please. Not wanting the con- ductor to know how ignorant I was of traveling I pulled my face straight and with a smile, set by the years, I handed the ticket and looked up. Well, by Georgie! and I was shaking hands with an old classmate of mine, both of us talking like women at an old mald's con- vention. A. T. told me he'd been on this run for about five years and just couldn't quit the Old Reliable. He said he knew the airplanes were more uptofdate and paid more but someone had to run the railroads, so he felt it his duty to stick. Several minutes we chatted, in which I learned he was married to Louise Ridgeway, who was becoming quite famous with her clever little charcoal drawings, and when he turned to leave he said, By the way, Julia, do you know whose hands your fate is ln? Of course, I dldn't, so A. T. promised at the next stop to take me to the cab and show me a surprise. Delighted as a three-year-old at Christmas time, I just sat and smiled till our train came to a graceful easy stop. When we reached the cab, A. T. called out something that sounded like at lot of blib-blah to meg then who should stick his head out of the cab but Neil Andrews! Yeh! Old Gabby himself-Why I just grinned in spite of myself, and we talked fast and furious for the few moments alloted us. Vida was at home-Yes, Nell had actually inveigled the maiden into marrying him, and Sarah, still an old maid, was living with them, running a Ladies' and Babies' Ready-toWear. They lived in Louisville and often saw Jimmie Mansfield, who was now vice president of a vast line of rails. I was absolutely tickled sllly and going back to my compartment I sat and let my mind unroll the years and remembered again the happy carefree existence I led while in Grove. Classmates thronged the doors of my mind and I determined then and the-re to find out something about everyone of them. The next day, arriving in New York, I betook myself to a taxi, clambered in and turned to give the driver an address when I looked square into the grinning, well remembered face of Robert Anderson! Old Skyscraper, well the little runt looked like anything but that. Do you think I rode in the back seat during that drive? Indeed no. I sat in front and got more information out of that one person, than I could out of a dozen newspapers. Jimmie Diggs and Viron Beard had bought out three airplane factories and now the Diggs- Beard planes were being used only by the elite and were getting smaller and faster every day. Bert Freeman and Thomas Greer worked for them testing planes, delivering planes to various buyers and doing extraordinaryly well. Farris Shofner was a radio announcer, and announced 'specially for Dorothy McCall and Ka.therine Wheatley, who played pianos twice a week and made plenty. 'fWoodie Timmons ran a night club and most of the boys of his orchestra were old school-mates back at Grove. Among them were James and Doris Guthrie, Louis Walker, and Cecil Jackson. Imogene Brown was his hostess and Frances I-Iensler thrilled New York's millions with her tapping toes. Johnny Gorman, who had made millions on some trivial invention of his, was busy running 'round the world setting up schools, and took as his assistant, Allan Whipple. Really this was all shocking but Skyscraper just wouldn't stop. Had I heard about Joe Mims? Sending the world into hysterlcs with his witty talks? Theatres, radio stations, clubs, every-thing and everybody trying- to get their fingers on him. He'd made his name, got himself a wife, who I remembered as Dorothy Broadway, and the funny part about it--he talked for both. He kept four secretaries, all old class-mates, Catherine Jones, Katie Snow, Geneva Morris and Rosalind Rogers, all of whom he kept with him constantly. Old boy certainly getting spry in his old age. Lost in memories, I failed to notice we had stopped, but suddenly regaining my strayed wits, I found we were in front of the hotel I'd chosen. Walking up to the desk and asking for a room kept me so occupied I failed to hear the snigger that went up-but suddenly it sunk in my numbed senses and I whirled around to confront Maurice Martin! Same old Maurice, maybe a little older, but the years had been kind. Beside him stood Donna Postlewaite. They'd been married only a week and had decided on Europe for a honeymoon -where they intended visiting M'selle Hicks-the beauty specialist--who was another of our l9 3l RJR , . Ns!,ni.., ML Steiff we N-sa -:- -' TI-IE--FUTURIST - -1 old friends and ma-tes-Corrine Hicks. Maurice was doing exceedingly well with his poetry and had just completed an edition of all his poems. Donna wrote up all the social affairs of Washington for some Cosmopolitan magazine. So considering everything I suppose the happy pair was fairly successfull. Bless their hearts, they knew I'd be lonesome my first night there, so they included me in a theatre party for the evening. Herman Hull, the New York matinee idol, was there and though I was not so fortunate to get to talk with him, I sat back, looked, and remembered the old days when I had actually seen him living and breath- ing every day. About the middle of the program-there was a commotion in the box op- posite our own, all eyes were turned in that direction. Imagine my surprise when Florence Winsett appeared with some one of the many foreign princes. My eyes just jumped and I demanded an explanation. Florence by some means had inherited quite a lot of moneyy then married Woodrow Windsor, the Chain Store King, divorced and sued him for a cool hundred thousand, and was now displaying the new boy friend to every advantage. The following morning, I thank the kind fate that made me read the morning paper in my room, for there on the front page staring at me with her boring steady eyes was a large picture of Inez: Irion-who was now known as Inky --the world's greatest woman dare-devil -stating she had performed one of the most dangerous feats known to' humanity. Inez! that smart, sweet, old-fashioned, up-to-date girl. It was incredible. Well! I got out of New York quickly-and took a plane to Los Angeles. After refresh- ing myself at the hotel I went down to a quaint little cafe some piece from the hotel. The first person I spied was a class-mate, Christine Schrieber. I learned that she and Juanita Robinson had come to California to enter the talkies, but due to one thing and another, they compromised and built up a fortune out of the little cafe. It was called The Comet, and among her best patrons were Margaret Pritchett, who was now a great portrait painterg Ruby Hastings, a swimmcr of international fame, and Ernestine Elam, who with her hus- band Curtis Carter, ran a big Home Economics school. Christine told me that little Louise Sullivan was at the head of a Girls' club and that if I wished, we would ask her to dinner. I agreed heartily, so six o'clock found us seated with Louise in the spacious dining room of the lovely, old club. Thousands of young girls were around our table, their lovely, lighted faces showing the spirit and the zest of youth. Suddenly Louise arose and with a hasty pardon, left us, returning in a few minutes with several other women. I was disappointed, for I thought I could sit there with only old friends and ta-lk to my heart's content-but being a school teacher, I politely looked up-whooped--for there standing before me were Isabel Bennett, Ruebene McCuiston, Woodie Lou Riddicks, Helen Smith, Mildred Smith, Lucille Trotter, Mabel Snow, Kate James, Margaret Dunlap and Lorene Melton. My! Did we talk? Wiords flew back and forth and one half didn't know what the other half was saying. I did gather, however, that all were 'married and were either living in Los Angeles or close around, and often came in to' dine with Louise and be together. Ka-te married Earl Crosswy, who was leading an orchestra in one of the down- town theatres and gaining popularity rapidly. Charlie Hendley was managing editor for one of the city papers, and lived with Mabel Snow and her husband, who was city editor of the same paper. '4Bil1y Askew and James Farrar had bought up a lot of oil companies, made their fortune and now spent most of the time running 'round the world on their yacht. Joe Howard, now known as speed was the dashing half-back on the All-Southern team. His fame was wide and Speed now traveled in the best of circles both -here and abroad. Herbert Williams now pitched for a big Pittsburgh team. 'I'he next day after many regrets and goodbyes, I left and started back through the country for anywhere. This time I rode one of the big buses that looked like one of the old time Pullman cars. In Utah we stopped at some little town for oil-so out I hopped and made a beeline for a little roadside ta-Vern, almost knocking someone down who had just started out. Catching my breath, I started to apologiize when I found my hand being shaken off- and 'by whom- None other than grinning Pearl Wiggins--who was now-I found out later- Mrs. Gene McGehee. She finally got her Gene, and being afraid of the girls in the sunny South, had brought him to the West. They ran a tourist camp, in with the tavern and kept several employed. Among whom were Travis Lax, Clara Mai Willard and Zenona Foust. She also told me that close to her were James Carter, James Gorman, and Floyd Hopkins, who were trying their luck at running a chicken farm. Boy! I had been lucky and for five miles out of the town I just sat and grinned. i I9 3I W Q J 1 W xN-.. : Tl-IE-FUTURIST : THE BAND 19 13! Nw A' ,fy .1 .K Km Yuxmww--XA L 7' Ax X P X X XX?

Never before had he seen the students in such a hurry in the middle of the week. It was Wednes- day morning and rather early in the morning, too. If it had been Friday or even the last period ln the day it would have been easier to explain but why all the bustle and smiles at this time of the day? On asking one of the happy throng he was told, in a very pleasant Way, :that it was club day. Q When he inquired wha-t that might be he was given a very interesting account of the organization of clubs at Grove. Two years ago Mr. Smith came to Grove as principal. He was simply chucked full of new ideas for the broadening out of pupilsg the clubs was only one of them. The clubs take up all kinds of subjects: journalism, health, science, mathematics, astron- omy, books and magazines, home-care, and- numerous other subjects. Grove has several chapters of nationally known organizations. They have chapters of the Hi-Y and Girl Reserve. These clubs are interested in the welfare of the boys and girls and the school as a whole. The Agricultural class has a. chapter of F. F. A. Two new clubs were organized this year and Grove should feel highly honored to have them. One is the National Honor Society and the other, The National Athletic Scholarship Society. Both are nation-Wide societies and the members to them are a select few. Grove is lucky to have them. Some of the clubs have projects for which they are working or have worked. The Mary Atkins Girl Reserve bought a large flag and the Hi-Y got the flag pole and put it up. The Home Economics Club furnished a rest room for the girls. The Journalism Club has sponsored a page of Grove news in the papers each week. This has aroused the interest of the people in town in the activities of Grove school and they have been glad to cooperate with us when their cooperation was needed. The Biology Club has built bird houses and put them about where the weary little featheerd friends might build nests and be comfort- able and home-like. Each student, continued the boy, belongs to two clubs. The clubs are divided into two groups. Each club meets every two weeks. This enables each student to belong to more than one club and broaden out more. Everyone is interested in his or her club and can hardly walt until Wednesday morning comes, so as to get to the meeting. 'I'he stranger dismissed the lad to go to his club and as he went on toward the door he noticed a list of the different clubs on the bulletin board. As he read this list he be- came more and more interested. Probably you too would be interested in the clubs at Grove and following is a list of them: Boys' Glee Club. National Athletic Scholarship Society. Girls' Glee Club. Home Economics Club. I-Ij-Y, Biology Club. . F. F. A. Health Club. Girl' Reserve. N80-Pythagafea-H Club. Astronomy Club. Shakespeare Club. Radio Club. Citizenship Club. National Honor Society. Debating Club. Journalism Club. Science Club. Letter Club. ' Dramatic Club. Music Club, Fine Arts Club. Book Club. - Physical Culture Club. Story Telling Club. - History Club. And as he' walked down the hall he was heard to say, half to himself and half aloud, I move that we give Mr. Smith a rousing vote of thanks for helping the boys and girls, in this very beneficial way. I and the entire senior class second the motion.

' ,l Kb if ' fr ---as ' I .lo- . -1- ,- G ' Section 12 of the regulations for grade A high schools in Tennessee is as follows: To be classed as a. grade A high school, the school shall furnish a suitable field for athletics and a gymnasium and shall conduct classes in physical education daily. This rule was brought before the Tennessee State Board of Education by Mr. W. A. Bass, High School Supervisor, and passed the board easily. A If a gymnasium were not essential why should the Board of Education pass a rule de- manding one? A gymnasium not only gives us a place in which to play basketball and train for other sports but it gives us a place for rr-creationand physical education. Organized play is a wonderful thing. Freidrich Froebel tells us that the plays of our younger life are the germinal leaves of all later life. Joseph Lee, in his book Play in Education tells us that the various plays fit the child to become citizen, soldier, scientist and creator. Oliver Wendell Holmes says, The discovery of the child by himself is in his playing. Gregory in his book, Better Schools, adds, It is young people's nature to play and We do them a gross injustice, when in our endeavor to build character, we ignore that tendency. Kirkpatrick tells us, Work interests lead us to make a living, while play interests enable us to live more fully the lives demanded by our natures. Can all these great philosophies be wrong? Do we want Grove, one of the oldest schools in Tennessee, dropped from the class A group? This will be done unless We get a. gymnasium. 19 31 - .x. gl ,wr max 11- M -N X, 11 Q L QQ.

'55 41-1 -:- :Q THE-FQTURIST : -:- p Football at Grove Grove had a very successful football season in 1930, especially when the fact. that the team was handicapped by injuries all the year is taken into consideration. 4At no, game dur- ing the entire season, not even excepting the opener with Huntingdon, were Coaches Robison and Wilson able to put their full strength on the field, and naturally the team's record suf- fered to some extent. Nevertheless, Grove beat some excellent teams, and it certainly was not discreditable for Grove, or any other high school team in West Tennessee, for that matter. to lose to teams of the caliber of Humboldt and Union City. Union City, it will be remembered, later beat the highly touted South Side High grlders of Memphis by a' larger score than they beat Grove. While many Seniors have played their last game for the Blue and White, and their loss will be keenly felt, prospects are indeed bright for a good team next year. Baseball Coaches and players confidently expect. that the 1931 Grove baseball team will be the best in the history of the school. And the opening games have surely borne. out their prediction. The few games played have been won: and Gleason, beaten by , Grove 7-6, is known throughout all West Tennessee for its excellent baseball teams. All departments of this year's team are exceptionally strong and there are several good reserves who can: step into the breach at any time, if necessary. Probably what is most gratifying to the coaches, outside of the prospects for a winning team, is the large number of Freshmen out for base- ball this year. If conditions at Grove give any indication of the enthusiasm with which the game is being played throughout America, baseball is still growing in popularity. Grove's schedule is the hardest in years, and Messick High, of Memphis, will play two games on Barton Field. The record of the 1931 team at the present is: ' Grove 'Z-Puryear 0. V ' Grove 13-Milan 1. 1 ' Grove 7-Gleason 6. Grove 5-Trenton 0. ' Grove 6-Humboldt 5. Grove 4-Trenton 2. ' Grove 14-Murray 1. ,L Grove Track Team Grove has a splendid track team this year, one that will help to send Grove' ,to the front in athletics. Under the capable coaching of Charles E. Wilson, we have a team that any high school should be proud of. Q To see these boys in action one would think they had been in training several years, but as it is, all except a very few, who were track boys last year are new to the work. We are proud to say that more new members have been added to the team this year than ever before. These boys work hard in the afternoon until nearly dark hoping- to reach -tip-top per- fection by the time of the first meet, which will be at Murray, Ky., Saturday April 11. ,We arevsure they will be successful in this meet, although the nearby teams and the one of Murray boast of their well-developed teams. Grove has been invited to compete in a track and field meet at Martin and Covington. Our boys are eager to show these teams what they are made of and they will dofit too. Billy Askew is manager of the '31 team. He has been doing some good work and is try- ing to get a meet herzwsomething Grove should have very year. So let us give three cheers to the success of our team, manager, and coach.

To one Junior also, we leave with happiness, Maurice Martin's continual griping, and may the unlucky one carry on for dear old Maurice's sake. To Sonny Humphreys we devise and bequeath the right to dress and look' as well as did Neil Andrews, better known as G-abby. To the guards on next fall's football team we leave the right to slug and play hard like the well known John, Hobo , Gorman. Pearl Wiggins has generously' consented to bequeath her fascinating lisp to anyone who can use it with Pearl's great success. Also to these well-liked Juniors We leave our Seniordignity, badly marked in xplaces, by some students who sang too loud in study hall or talked too much about the faculty, We also leave the hope that this class behind us will witness the dawn of the day, when their students will shine forth as brilliant men and women. To the school as a whole we leave the fond memory and distinction of being the last class to go out from this beloved, old building which we shall long cherish as the scene of many triumphs and defeats. May the succeeding classes make as noble a history for their new battle ground. James Mansfield. 19 3: -:- : TI-IE-FUTURIST - -z- Character Sketches Equal to every occasion. -Jimmy Mansfield.

Failure to render satisfactory service means eviction from business life through the community withholding its support. Because our paramount interest has always been to render consist- ently gocd service, this community's support has been retained for 33 years, over five times the average life of retail business. The average life of retail business is less than six years, with practically all failures resulting from failure to serve the needs of the community.
