SONS SO apa Sons of Plant and glory, Fear no battle gory, Nor retreat from enemy; To Gold and Black victorious And our honor glorious We will pledge our loyalty; Never will we bow to Victor’s heel, Never will the Panther lowly kneel; Courage never dying, Colors proudly flying, We'll sweep on to victory!

We, the class of January 1939, first entered Plant’s portals as bewildered and terrified “rats” in the spring of 1936. However, it was not long before we began to realize that Plant was not a scary place; we be- gan to feel that we were an integral part of the student body and that we must share in all of its activities. As sophomores we elected Billy Poage as president, Dorothy Sigman as vice- president, and Jackson Miller as secre- tary. We were represented in Panther- illa IX by Lady Dorothy Sigman and Lord Billy Poage as sixth maid and courtier, respectively. When we entered our Junior year, we again elected Billy Poage to serve capa- bly as president, Jimmy Brooker was elected vice-president and Betty Ware, secretary. The royal court of Panther- illa K was graced by the presence of Lady Dot Sellers as fourth maid and Lord Bobby Stephens as fourth courtier. When we attained the dignity of grand and mighty seniors, we chose Autrey Millsap as president. To support him in office we also elected Bill Adams ARMIN SMITH, President, JANE Rotn, Secretary; B1LL ANDER- son, Vice-President. as vice-president and Dot Sellers as sec- retary. We were again represented soc- ially in Pantherilla XI by Lady Dot Sellers and Lord Bobby Stephens; this time as second maid and courtier, re- spectively. As the highest class in Plant High School, we, in our Senior A year, were accorded the privilege of nominating the president and vice-president of the student body from our midst. The entire school chose Rex King as presi- dent and Dot Sellers as vice-president of the Stu- dent Council. We have provided the athletic department of Plant with many good athletes during our so- journ here. Jimmy Bax- endale, Bobby Stephens, Jack Hilburn, Charles McBride, J. B. Timmerman, Armin Smith, Robert Tucker and Wil- lis Carpenter were all outstanding in the sports held in the school. The fifteen percent of our class who were members of the National Honor Society were Dot Sellers, Mary Anna Hampton, Jack Hilburn, Wilma An- drews, Charles Matthews, Cecilia Perry, Dot Sigman, and Bette Foster. Such are the records that the January graduating class of 1939 have made at Plant High School. We are justly proud of them and we are sure that Plant will be proud of us and of the records that we intend to make through ourselves for our school in the world we now face, thus proving the ideals implanted in us while students at Plant High School. = Page sixteen January (lass ANDERSON, HARRIS BILL “siti” Not only is Bill wise—he’s handsome too.

Class History Three years ago a group of humble “rats” were admitted to Plant High, but it did not take long for us to make our presence felt here. During our sophomore year we elect- ed as class officers, George Vass, Presi- dent; Betsy McMichael, Vice-presi- dent, and Betty King, Secretary. We were represented in the Court of Pan- therilla X by Anne Wilson and Jim Ted Baugh. Betsy McMichael was elected as cheerleader and has served ably since then. As juniors, we chose as our officers Waring Star- buck, President; George Henriquez, Vice - presi- dent; and Mildred An- derson, Secretary. That year Anne Wilson and La- mar Sparkman were hon- ored as III maid and eS 3 courtier of Pantherilla XI. During their junior A year the following were taken into the National Honor Society: Jack Burnett, Katheryn Perdicaris, Mary Kendrick, Morris Hale, Kay Montgomery, Mary Star, Claudie John- son, Betty Jean McCord, Mary Evelyn McClung, Mary Laura Lindsay, Ernest Griffin, Jane Dail Hicks, Autrey Mill- sap, and Ed Culp. During their Senior B year the following were taken into this Society: Jeanne Rouby, Dorothy Thonnesen, Ralph Murphy, George Vass, Albert Aronvitz, Ed Rosenblatt, Doris Andrews, Gloria Johnston, George Jack, and Clarence Anderson. As Sen- ior A’s the following were admitted: GeEorGE Jack, President; GLoria JOHNSTON, Secretary, KAY MONT- GOMERY, Vice-President. Mildred Anderson, Barbara Brown, Thelma Ivy, Marianne Mitchell, Mar- jorie Russ, Louise Bailey, Anne Wilson, and Caroline McDowell. Our class has participated in numer- ous social activities. Jack Burnette, Morris Hale, Doris Boyle, Mildred Lane, and Betsy McMichael are our Thespians. A large number of our class are in the chorus, band and R.O.T.C. George Jack is now Lieutenant Colonel. This year marks the third year of the forma- tion of the Lettermen’s club. All those receiving letters in the three major sports, football, basket- ball, and track are eligible. Members of our class that are now in this club are: George Vass, Jim Ted Baugh, George Henri- quez, Jack Jones, Dana Jeter, Bill Adams, Lamar Sparkman, H. L. Cul- breath, Jack Lunden, George Jack, Morris Hale, Billy Poage, Clark Dowdell, Henry Holmes, John Flanders, Waring Starbuck, Henry Gardner, and Mario Cabrera. Our class officers selected for this year are George Jack, President; Kay Montgomery, Vice-President; and Gloria Johnston, Secretary. We realize that these last three years have been the happiest of our lives, and although we are looking forward to graduation, it is with a great deal of sadness that we bid farewell to Plant. No matter where we go or what we do, we will be boosters always. = Page twenty-two June (lass ADAMS, WILLIAM F. Jr. “BILL” “Gas” He is a man, take him all in all.

Elisabeth Burrell OFFICE SECRETARY Page forty-five emoriam Bill Strothers SENIOR A Senior B Class History Our class, despite its small number of members has been well represented in all school activities: social, scholastic, and in sports. Shortly after entering Plant in Feb- ruary of 1937 as Sophomores we elected Ethlyn Coggin, president; Nell Brown- ell, vice-president; and Virginia Ne- smith, secretary. Katherine Hudson and Bob Johnston were chosen as the sixth maid and courtier of Pantherilla. Bob Johnston was elect- ed president of the class during our second year and was ably assisted by Charles Haper as vice- president, and Art Chris- ty, secretary. Our choice for Panth- erilla nobility as Juniors ArT Curisty, Vice-President; Mary FRENCH DEKLE, Secretary; CHARLIE was Katherine Hudson and Art Christy. For our Senior B officers we elected Charlie Davis as president; Art Chris- ty, vice-president; and Mary French Dekle, secretary. We have nine students, ten per cent of our class, as members of the Na- tional Honor Society. They are Emily Fuller, Jane Cavenaugh, Jean Pryor, Lillian Jough- in, Mary French Dekle, Ethlyn Coggin, Lula Joughin, Rosemary Groves, and Comolia Gon- zalez. An additional five per cent will be admitted to membership when we become Senior A’s. Our class is looking for- ward to its Senior A year and the privileges which accompany this honor. Davis, President. soaps Page forty-six Junior AV Class History In September, 1937, we, the present Junior A class, a group of frightened “Rats,” entered Plant’s portals uncer- tain as to what our future would be. While Sophomores, we elected Doyle Carlton, president; Freddy Duffy, vice- president; and Mildred Woodberry, secretary. That year Lady Katherine Nelson and Sir Doyle Carlton graced the royal court of Pantherilla XI. Doyle Carlton was re- elected president of our class this year while the vice-president and secre- tary are respectively, Bill McElmurray and Kath- erine Nelson. This year Doyle Carl- ton and Katherine Nelson were again honored as 3rd courtier and maid of the court of Pantherilla XII. Both this year and last many have been outstand- KATHERINE Brit McEtmurray, Vice-President; NELSON, Secretary; ing in athletics. Billy Stone, Ruth Wis- dom and Marjorie Lambert have played a big part in boosting Plant’s spirit as cheerleaders at all major athletic con- tests and pep meetings. We have ten girls as members of the National Honor Society. They are as follows: Charlotte Harriman, Lily Star, Allie Maynard, Marilyn Levy, Mar- garet Olsen, Marjorie Hansen, Norma McRae, Lila Ruth Shealley, Beth Hotchkiss, and Ruth Wis- dom. As we are now ap- proaching our senior year in Plant High School, we look forward with the greatest of pleasure to the privileges that we shall en- joy as seniors. In view of our already outstanding record we feel confident that we will do bigger and better things in our last year in Plant. DoyLeE Carton, President. Page forty-seven JUNIOR A GIRLS Junior B Class History As “rats”? we, the pres- ent Junior B Class, wan- dered through the seem- ingly vast portals of Plant, rather frightened at this outstanding domain. But, we have survived that first year and a half with fly- ing colors. Having repre- sentatives in all branches of student activities, we now feel as if we are an important part of this school and we hope to make ourselves worthy to be called members of this outstanding scholastic organization, Plant High School. During our stay at Plant, we have an enviable record for athletic repre- sentation. Many members of our class participated in the major athletics and Dick Streep, President; EvizaBETH Erwin, Secretary; Davin Foster, Vice-President. most of them are very promising in this field. As sophomores we elected Hall Winn, presi- dent; David Foster, vice- president; and Elizabeth Erwin, secretary. This year we elected Dick Steed, president; and re- elected our sophomore vice-president, David Fos- ter, and our secretary, Elizabeth Erwin. To Pantherilla we sent, as sophomores, in all the grace and pomp due the occasion, Vir- ginia of the House of Long, and Charles of the House of Parkhill. As Juniors, with even, more triumph and gala cele- bration, we hailed Virginia of the House of Langford and David of the House of Foster.” = Page forty-eight ee JUNIOR B’S Sophomore A Class History The members of the present Sophomore A class, a large group mak- ing up six various home rooms, entered Plant in September, 1938. Their first officers” elected were the follow- ing: President, Billy Mar- tin; Vice-President, Her- bert Livingston, and Secretary, June Stratton. This class is “tops” in scholastic standing, hav- ing as high as fifteen on the high honor roll. Mark Hampton and June Stratton graced the Royal Court of Pantherilla XII, as fifth maid and courtier. Page forty-nine Bitty Martin, President; JUNE STRATTON, Secretary; HERBERT Livincston, Vice-President. Margaret La Motte and Clifford Bailey served very capably throughout the year as cheerleaders. Donnie Hansen, Billy Jim Bryant, and Billy Martin well represented the class in athletics. A great number of the boys and girls took part in the R.O.T.C. and Pep Squad, while the Plant Band drew twelve of its members from this class. According to the results shown in their first year’s record, the Plant. Sophomore A Class will do bigger and better things in their future years at Page fifty SOPHOMORE A BOYS SOPHOMORE A GIRLS We, the Sophomore B’s, entered Plant High School in January of this year. Although we haven’t been here very long, we have already made our pres- ence felt and we have made friends among both teachers and fellow stu- dents. We have elected Billy Frank, as presi- dent; Lois Sanchez, as vice-president; and Mary Trice Howell, as secretary for our sophomore year. Already we are well represented in the athletic phase of school activities. Although we entered too late to take part in the football sea- son, many of our boys are preparing for that next year and, we are sure, will be a great asset to the team. We have had sev- eral enter the track and basketball teams this year, and they, too, will be well qualified for their Junior Sophomore B Class History Pantherilla XII, we sent Ann of the House of Blake as sixth maid and Clyde of the House of Rights as sixth cour- tier; they served their king and queen well. We now feel that we are a definite part of Plant High School and that we have an excellent start toward making ourselves an asset to the school. Though we are the youngest students in Plant, we want everyone to know that we are doing our best to uphold the high stand- ards of Plant High School. Strong is the realization that responsibility of up- holding Plant tradition and maintaining its high rating in every activity, is rapidly becoming ours. Through our period of ad- justment here, we have put down roots through which our class will de- velop, confident in the knowledge that “mighty year.

Student Council The Student Council is the largest branch of our student government. This is the legislative group and is composed of a representative from each home room. The complaints of the students are brought before this chamber, discussed, and a bill proposed as a remedy. If the bill passes the council, it goes to the President’s Cabinet. Through activities of the coun- cil our students are learning valuable lessons in democratic principles and good citizenship. Betsy McMichael, vice-president of the student body, presides over the Student Council. Faculty advisors are: Mr. R. E. Townsend, Miss Annie Bell Stewart, and Mrs. Beryl Kitchen.

Honor Society One of the highest honors bestowed upon an upperclassman is initia- tion into the National Honor Society. Recognizing four cardinal prin- cipals: Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service, new members are initiated with an impressive ceremony twice a year. Students are eligible for this honor when they are Junior A’s, when five percent of th is class are made members of this society. Five additional percent are taken in both the Senior B and Senior A years, making fifteen percent of the graduating class members. Officers for this year were: Autrey Millsap, president; Morris Hale, vice- president; and Kathryn Pedicaris, secretary; for the first semester, and Morris Hale, president; Bobby Johnston, vice-president; and Jane Dale Hicks, secretary; for the second semester. page fifty-five li tb . : ‘. ’ : 8 . a Sop : i . ee “S =e ee 3 Bn he een SEE RS Sa ee a — eas a Se RP Se Ses School.

Presidents Cabinet Student participation in government operates in Plant High School be- cause we believe in the American way and in a democratic form of govern- ment. The Student Council is the legislative branch of our form of govern- ment, while the President’s Cabinet forms the executive branch. The members of this Cabinet act as advisers to the President of the Student Council. They are Seniors, and their appointment by the President is de- pendent upon confirmation by the Principal of the high school. . All legislative bills must originate in the Cabinet but before they become effective they must be voted upon and passed by the Student Council. The position held by a member of the President’s Cabinet is one of re- sponsibility, honor, and trust. The importance of the Cabinet can not be over-emphasized in the life of the school and of its well-being. = Page fifty-six 4 eS HOME ROOM CHAIRMEN Left to Right, 1st Row: Woodburn, Hale, Henderson, Sparkman, Starbuck. 2nd Row: Pemberton, Frank, Hampton, Martin, Spencer, Dowdell, Williams. 3rd Row: McEllmurray, Flanders, Herbert, Carlton, Fuller, Martin, Bailey.

Senior Class Play Even better than usual is this year’s class play, “Nothing But the Truth,” under the capable direction of Miss Dorothy Burnett. “Nothing But the Truth,’ a comedy in three acts by James Mont- gomery, is the story of a young bond salesman, played by George Vass, who makes a bet that he will tell the absolute truth for twenty-four hours. After much shocking frankness and near tragedies, he wins his bet. Ro- mance is introduced by the broker’s daughter, played by Betsy McMichael. The Senior Class play is an annual event staged by the outgoing class, with proceeds used to purchase a fitting memorial for presentation to the school. � Page fifty-eight Thespians The Thespians, a National Dramatic Club, is under the guidance of Miss Dorothy Burnett. It consists of boys and girls who have been elected to its membership. To be elected to membership a student must meet the following quali- fications: 1. He must have participated in some event connected with dramatics. 2. For participating in a minor or major role of a play, radio broadcast, serving as business or stage manager, or participating in a Plant High School Assembly Program, he must have received credit from a point system. The members of the Senior Class play were automatically made Thes- plans. The members this year were: Betsy McMichael, president; Jack Bur- nett, Morris Hale, Doris Boyle, Mildred Lane, and Jack Hilburn. Page fifty-nine Girl Reserves The Girl Reserve Club of Plant High School, with Miss Jean Anderson as faculty advisor, and working under the supervision of Miss Edith Loughren of the Y.W.C.A., is one of the most active groups in the school. They carry on Christian work and uphold the principles of loyalty, con- sideration, and truthfulness. At Christmas and Thanksgiving one can find this organization supplying needy families with food and clothing. Last summer Esther Curlin was sent as our representative to the South- eastern Convention of Girl Reserves in Atlanta, and this year plans are be- ing made to send Marjorie Lambert to this convention. The following girls are officers this year: President, Esther Curlin; Vice- President, Marjorie Lambert; and Secretary, Ruth Wisdom.

Girls Chorus The Girls’ Chorus of Plant High School offers vocal training and recrea- tion to girls who wish to partake of these activities and who show an apti- tude for this type of training. This group, under the direction of Mr. Green, sang for assembly pro- grams and other school activities. Representatives were sent to a vocal clinic held at Stetson university last Fall. High school students from all over the state participated in this event. The Chorus also entered the State Music Festival in Tampa on April 21. They received a second division rating because of their small number. Page sixty-one Urvan Alvarez, Ella Jean Barnes, C. M.

The fifty-six piece concert band presented twelve programs during the vear. The marching band took part in all football games and in approxi- mately ten parades. At the State Band Concert in West Palm Beach, Nookie Mueller and George Boyd, the drum majors, won first and second places, respectively, in their division. The Band and its members individually entered fourteen competitive events and emerged with nine first places and five second places. The Concert and Marching Bands received second places in their events, and were eligible to attend the National Music Festival in Charlotte, N. C.

On Thanksgiving Day the victory over Hillsborough Terriers climaxed our series of exciting games. Until the last quarter the game was on even terms. Then Jack Jones, after a 55 yard run, brought the ball within a yard of the Terriers goal line. Failing to make the touchdown, the Panthers lost the ball to the Hillsborough squad on their four yard line and the Hillsborough fullback kicked out seventy yards. A few plays later, Bill Adams, our quar- terback, received a pass from Carlton FOOLBAEE This year the Panthers turned in one of the best seasons on the gridiron in recent years. In spite of many serious injuries the squad finished sixth in the Big Ten Con- COACH SHERRILL and ran forty yards to make the only score of the game in the last minute of play. To our credit we have five victories, two ties and two defeats; seven of these were Big Ten games. We attribute our success on the field mainly, to the effi- cient training by Coach Jimmie Hughes. The prospects for next year’s varsity is promising as the B squad, under Coach Bobby Sherrill, had a very: suc- cessful season.

The Panthers were given second place in the Big Ten Conference, although they had the best percentage of games won and lost. During the entire season the basket- ball team played a total of 26 games, winning 22 and losing 4.

After winning the regional cham- pionship the Panthers entered the state tournament at Miami. They were ceded third at this event. Daytona Beach proved a capable team by defeating the Panthers in the first round and going on to win the state championship.
