May their understanding cornradeship continue with us in order that We may reach our ultimate goal. OUR NEW PRINCIPAL it MR. WILLARD BAGWELL Mr. Willard Bagwell, a former graduate of Heath High School in the class of 1929, has just completed his first successful year as principal of his Alma Mater. We are certain he needs no introduction, but We wish to express our appreciation for his unfailing interest in student Welfare. Having led his teammates to the highest in state and national honors in basketball, he entered Murray College in 1929, and was acclaimed the best bas- ketball player of all time to ever represent Western Kentucky and Murray College. Since graduating from Murray College, he has held the principalship of two Missouri schools, coached basketball and taught school. And now, with his past record of achievements behind him, he is back at Heath to lead it further into the limelight of this district and state. His inspiration, vitality and interest in us and our school will live in the hearts of our graduates. History of Heath High School fa? September 25, 1910, was a red letter day in a little country hamlet ten miles west of Pa- ducah. That day marked the beginning of one of the most progressive steps McCracken County has ever made in behalf of its rural boys and girls. The McCracken County High School of- fered to the students of the county, who had completed the eighth grade, a four year high school course. This event was more important and more far reaching than even those respon- sible for bringing it about realized. In 1909, the McCracken County Board of Education under the progressive leadership of County Superintendent W. A. Middleton, decided to establish a rural high school for county pupils. The members of the board were: Mr. Davis, Mr. Straub, Mr. Sexton, Squire Herbert Anderson, and Ferd Gholson. All of these members are now deceased, but they lived to see the educa- tional progress which resulted from their action. Land for the building and campus was donated by Messrs. A. P. Hill and Henry Harting. They and other interested citizens donated money to help finance the building and thus from the start it has been a community school. The contract, calling for a S2S0,000 structure, was let to Mr. James Rouse. The corner stone was laid in 1909, but as no building funds were available, school was held that year at Lone Oak with Professor S. Rags- dale as principal and his wife as assistant. These two comprised the entire teaching force when school began at Heath in September 1910. Twenty-four pupils entered for instruction that first year, most of them driving from near- by farms. Professor Joe S. Ragsdale was prin- cipal of the school for twelve years and since that time there have been eight more: Professor Ivan C. Baucom, Floy Hooks, C. O. Warren, Frank Irwin, D. D. Crisp, Henry Chamber, and Willard Bagwell, the present head. The corps of teachers increased slowly and today instead of the original two, there are twenty teachers. In 1929, a new gymnasium was built at the back of the original building. This helped to relieve the crowded condition and provided an indoor court for the basketball teams. In this eventful year we won the K. H. S. A. A. state basketball championship and did well in the national tournament. The school was rapidly growing and the es- tablishment of bus routes, providing free trans- portation for all high school pupils, gave it added impetus. The need for a new building was evi- dent, but nothing was done until 1934, when Miles Meredith, our County Superintendent, took the first step in securing financial assistance for a new building. Every citizen of the community had an op- portunity to help with the school. Farmers brought their teams and wagons and hauled gravel, the P. T. A. sponsored che planting of shrubs on the grounds and the children worked at cleaning the campus. Thus, our present build- ing was completed in 1938. There has been five hundred and seventy-one graduates during the thirty-seven years of its ex- istence and graduates are found in every field. There are doctors, lawyers, ministers, teachers, business men, nurses, farmers, and house wives. At the beginning of World War II, a large area of the Heath community was taken over by the government, known as KOW. Many thought this would reduce the enrollment, but it had little effect. The teaching staff changed quite a bit, but the school officials always managed to keep an efficient faculty. As a school community, we did our small part to aid the war effort. Giving our time to collecting scrap, paper and the ever giving up members of our student body to the armed forces. And so, in this year of final peace, we are looking forward, as always, to greater, better things in education at Heath High School. is. gliuffi gggll Qffflwof U55 cgcgoof U 1556! if? We will never bring disgrace on this our school by an act of dishonesty or cowardice. iff We will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the school both alone and with many. 'lk We will revere and obey the rules of the school, and do our best to incite a like reverence and respect of those above us who are prone to annul them or set them at naught. if We will strive increasingly to quicken the public sense of civic duty. if Thus, in all these Ways we will transmit this our school a greater, better, and more beautiful school than it Was transmitted to us. 145 . .W gf nmi1-111: anna-x1 1 BOARD OF EDUCATION J.

Page seventeen CLASS PROPHECY It was a very dreary day and the rain was splashing against the window of the street car chugging down Maple Street. Outside people were hurriedly passing by carrying their um- brellas and darting in and out of each building. Sparks could be seen flying from the street car as it was slowly coming to a stop. At last the car came to a halt and with the utmost wonder and expectation I went forth to see the city, yes, the little city of Heath had really changed. It's funny how ten years could make things so different. I find the population is now 10,000 and the people not at all the same. In a distance I could see the smoke rising from a building that looked familiar. Yes, despite the noticeable change I sud- denly rcalized that it WAS the dear old school we left ten years ago. As I walked in the door, the empty h a l l s seemed to welcome me in their quiet way. Straight to the office I went and there, much to my sur- prise, sat Lindy Lewis who greeted me as I had never been greeted by a principal before. Seeing Lindy behind I the principal's desk, made me wonder about our other classmates. It seemed that Lindy was still familiar with all of them. Why, just a little way down the hall sat Norma Louise, who liked Heath so well she could- n't stay away. She is the Shorthand teacher Qonly she teaches them to talk it instead of write.j Sebrec Allen makes a nice sheriff but jack Hankins frecent jail breakj wishes he would quit trying to arrest him for chicken theft. It wasn't much of a surprise to find Dorris one of Hollywood's leading ladies. She was grad- uated from Pasadena Play House in 1950. She is married for the fifth time to a rich cow handf, In Rhode Island Juyne sings Don't Cry, Baby to little Raymond, while big Raymond goes dancing. Betty June, the strawberry blonde of our class, is singing with the All Time Hit Paraden broad- casting from Russell Building on the Cairo Road. In Florida, William is doing just what wc thought he would-photographer at one of the largest Sc and 10c stores. On the side he directs Y the grade school ryhthm band. ' Sad, but true, Hilton, better known as Bosco, committed suicide because he couldn't think of a joke to make his old lady laugh. Elinor Ruth always wanted to sit on her boss' knee and sheis doing just that for she's secretary to Senator Warren Smith. I didn't think sheyd do it. Merlene now owner of Frog Pond, is kept rather busy with her busi- ness and the three little Froggies. That is, since Elwyn walked out and left her all alone. Having tried so hard to get married, but not having any success, Jo Ann finally decided to settle down in Missouri and be an old maid school teacher. Her dumbest student is the daugh- ter of Gloria McCuan. Gloria has been confined to her bed with a broken nose she received while trying to learn to skate. Marian Jean is still residing in Grahamvillc, and like the old woman who lived in the shoe, Page eighteen she's got so many children she doesn't know what to do. Some of our class turned out to be very relig- ious. At The Little Brown Church in the Wild- wood, the pastor is Paul Hall and the choir director is Mary Fay Humphreys. Her favorite song is Where He Leads Me I Will Follow. fReferring to Paul, of course.j Jessie Knott has gone to the dogs. Well--al- most. She's owner of a kennel in Indiana. Her favorite dog is the Wolf Hound. jackie Moss rides again. She turned out to be the most daring little rider in the Rodeo and is married to fnot mentioning any names but the initialsj Maurice Edd Bailey. Virginia and Bessie, school day pals, are still together. They are Double Bubble Dancers and can be seen at the Bowery in Detroit. In the hills of Kentucky, Billy Griffin is just sittin' and a rockin' and a thinkin' of his own little Lettie.', Poor Jimmie. He must be kept busy. He is truant officer. It seems he has more trouble with his own kids fthey took after wandering father.j Remember Colleen with those hands smooth as velvet? Well, she is now dishwasher at Thomp- son's Cafe. Bobby rules with an iron hand. Robbie seems to stay above all of us. No, she isn't stuck up, but she is one of the nation's lead- ing women pilots! Peggy Sue finally got a man! She and her man can be seen every Saturday when they come to town. The last time she was seen, she and Joe were riding up front on the wagon and the dogs were following along behind eating up the gar- bage that fell off the side of the wagon. They are raising hogs for a living and have to come to town for garbage. Marie Griffin is happily married, too. She has three little red heads. With her temper and their red headed Papa, we bet the kids are good natured. PEGGY SUE MILLER i..ik1...

CLASS HISTORY 'iii 1942-43 In 1942, we entered the threshold of Heath High School as Freshmen. Looking back into the years past, we find that this was the beginning of our real initiative. It was then that we can remember walking down the halls just bursting with pride that we were now Freshmen and with a look on our faces that dared anyone to call us green, but even then we knew how to conduct ourselves and got down to business problems with such a seriousness that even those prim school teachers were shocked. We elected Glenn Young as our President, Bill Rayburn, Vice-President, Peggy Sue Miller, Secretary and Treasurer. This was all new to them, but no one could have done better work. Along with the election of officers, Mrs. Stem and Mrs. Sarver were elected as our class advisors and both proved to be good leaders. We were proud to be represented on the cheer leading squad by two capable people like Jean Carroll and Wesley Hester. At the end of the year we felt that we had accomplished much and were happy to leave that name of being green only to find that we would be known as silly Sophomores. 1943-44 On entering our Sophomore year we elected Dorris Dean Ragland as President, Wilford Powers, Vice-President, Betty Lowe, Treasurer, and Peggy Miller as Secretary. Our sponsors this year were Mrs. Williamson and Mrs. Roper. It was this year that we had our first Tug of War. We found out what good losers are like, because the Sophomores accompanied by the Juniors lost and were dragged through the muddy hole of water. They didn't mind too much be- cause they were not the only ones that got wet as it was raining that day. Peggy Sue was in the girls' trio and Perry Wallace and Glenn Young were in the boys' quartet. They entered the contest at Murray this year. Peggy Miller and William Blackford repre- sented the Sophomore class extremely well on che cheering squad. 1944-1945 Now that we were Juniors we seemed to be near our goal of graduation. This year the class officers were Dorris Ragland, President, Lindy Lewis, Vice-President, Colleen Parker, Secretary, and Jo Ann Taylor, Treasurer. Ramona, our Junior Play, proved to be one of the best plays ever given at Heath. It was coached by our sponsors, Mrs. James Roper and W. L. Franklin. We had the honor of entertaining the Senior Class with a banquet at the Irvin Cobb, which was a big success and something to be remembered always. ,Peggy Miller, Bill Blackford, and Betty Lowe, cheerleaders really did their part in backing the ball team which was well represented by Junior boys. The Junior Class published a school paper, Jolly Roger, that everyone seemed to enjoy because of all the gossip. 1945-46 As we came to the final days of school, we Seniors carried a heart full of thankfulness that we could graduate into a world of peace. We chose Dorris Ragland as our President again as she had proved to be so well qualified in the past. Glenn Young was elected Vice-President, juyne Snyder, Secretary, and Elinor Watson, Treasurer. During the three previous years, many of our members had dropped out and in this year still Page twenty-one others failed to keep our rank, but our faithful group, consisting of 29, did at no time give up the struggle for the reward which was to come. Our sponsors, Mrs. Bruce Harrison and Miss Rowena Marshall directed our Senior play, Grow- ing Pains which was a three-act comedy. One of the most outstanding activities of the year was basketball. Glenn Young, Jack Hankins, Robert Garland, and Hilton Edwards earned let- ters and sweaters on the first team basketball squad. We find Peggy Miller and William on the cheer leading squad again for the third conse- cutive year. They have really worked hard and done their part in every way. Colleen Parker was in trio and Glenn kept his place in the quartet. Our class won the Carnival Queen Contest and Colleen Parker was crowned Queen. With the faithful and untiring help of Mrs. Glisson, the Senior Class was able to publish this 1946 edition of the HEATH PIRATA. Commencement night, in the hearts of each Senior, there was a sadness felt because of the realization that this would be the last time they would be associated together as the class of 1946. -WARREN SMITH Q13 Our School Day by Day SEPTEMBER Sept. 4- School daze again: there'll be some changes made, Bagwell.

On independent pathways, We will soon have to go 5 Which roads we will take, Only God can know. Many things have happened, In our little realm g That we will rernernher When other things grow dim. Some of us were durnh, Others were smart, All the world is a stage We play our part. Time is quickly passing, Like a fleeted hand, Tirne goes on forward, Carrying modern rnan. So let us accept the challenge, To prove to God and Nation, That we of this age, Were worthy of creation. -SEBREE ALLEN Page twenty-four MRS.

Let every heart sing, Let every voice ring, There's no time to grieve or sigh.

Honor she has taken On the track and with the hall, May she always rank the highest, May her color never fall.

First we learn to read and write, Then we learn to sit just right. Day hy day as school goes on, We learn the ways of right and wrong. When studies are o'er and noon has come We know it's time to have some First thing we know the hell has rung, Our fun is over and work has begun. We first are timid little creatures, All asking favors from our teachers, But she must treat us all alike, For that is only fair and right. We love the grades and so would you, But I'm sure we'll like the high school too -WILMA BRADFORD Page thirty-seven Seventh Gmale First Row: Nancy Pirtle, Lena Leigh, Rose Mary Holley, Geneva Spencer, Inez Dejarnett, Betty Seaton, Barbara Duncan, Dorothy Cathey.

FRANKLIN BEASLEY Page forty-.refucn l l First mm' Second Gmdetf Om' Grade School Most of the first graders are lively and quick And most of them very little, So I won't say much about them In this little riddle. The ones in the second grade Think they are very bright, And when they don't know their lessons They stay out of the teacher's sight. I don't know about the third and fourth But they think they can sure play ball, They should see our sixth grade We'll take them all. Most of the fifth grade pupils Are all very rash, But when Mrs. Hopper gets after them They get busy in a flash. The pupils of the sixth grade Are all neat and nice, They can do almost anything But gamble and throw dice. Now I am closing this poem And it wasn't so easy to make, If anybody has any complaints Just go jump in the lake. -CHARLES WARFORD Teachers Some teachers like to grumble Some teachers like to smile, Some teachers like to have us Study all the while. Some teachers makes us whisper softly, I don't like you. But still Our teachers at Heath Hi Can't very well be beat. Having a principal like Mr. Bagwell Makes it hard for us to cheat! We may even have to leave something In order to get by For after all we always find That test papers will not lie. -ELEANOR RUTH MURPHY Page forty-eight f4cz'c2f6Z6ea 'f 5 W- , 1 ' Q 'vu I' Q.. ,L Iii!

With- out her tireless efforts and loyalty, the very cause of the Pirata would have been lost. Mrs. Glisson is never too busy to discuss our problems and affairs. for her chief concern here at school is the betterment of our class. One cannot imagine a more loyal, capable, and co-operative assistant than Mrs. Glisson has proven herself to be this year. We will not soon forget her loyal support to us in our activities and we sincerely wish her success in the years to come. Page forty-nine Pimztz Smjjf A great portion of the success of this annual is due to the dreaming, skillful planning and the unceasing efforts of our editor. The Senior Class is greatful for his ef- ficient leadership and unfailing energy. He worked hard and made our annual one of the best ever published. With his determination and ability to associate with people, we know he'll go far. May suffcfss be bis! BILL BLACKFORD Editor ii?

Every day Mrs. Thompson and the four ladies that work in the cafeteria serve from 360 to 400 lunches. Under the present set up, children are served a twenty cent lunch for fifteen cents. The government pays for the milk, thus enabling lunches to be served for fifteen cents and children that bring their lunches from home can buy milk in the cafeteria for one cent I1 bottle.

The Government says that Mrs. Thompson is economical for which there can be no doubt. The cafeteria has recently been painted, and new sinks and cabinets in- stalled. All of this was paid out of the cafeteria funds. The small children, too, are cared for in our cafeteria. The lunches are served to these children and their teachers eat with them, to instruct their manners. They wash their hands, enter the cafeteria in an orderly form, and eat as mannerly as one could expect small children to eat. Now and then children think that Mrs. Thomp- son is hard, but she really isn't. She has to be strict, for her boss and the government with her.

He is prac- tically a human dynamo around H. H. S. Editor of Pirata, a full time job, cheerleader, active in Scouts and just about everything else that goes on around our school. He thinks he's got people fooled by what goes on After' Boss Hours, but??? Most handsome guy around Heath, keeps Carolyn Smith guessing and takes only his ball playing seriously? Quartet, School Favorite, Co- captain of Pirates, Pirata sports editor and solo singer are the things that entitles him to a whose who. Serious minded and hard fighting Co-captain of the Pirates, is a like- able person. In many ways Bill has proved to be an outstanding stu- dent in our school. He is a school favorite, and had a big part in the Junior play this year. The easy going guy that everybody knows. Number one mischief of this school and a square hitting ball player. Bill is a Junior and was voted a school favorite. The little guy who takes things as they come. I-Ie's quick on the ball team, president of his class and also a favorite school favorite. There will never be another one like him. He makes you laugh when you'd rather cry. A school favorite, a neat little ball player, Pirata photographer and lae's liked by everyone. You'd think he was of a quiet nature, but we know him. First five, and a school favorite. Swell fellow. Quiet, unassuming and a likeable fellow describes Bill. He also plays ball, manages to escort Babs every place and is a pretty nice guy in general. He's a Senior and certainly a good fellow. We know jack by his loud sweathers. He's one of the most valuable first five and he be- lieves silence is gold. Better known as Scrappy. He is indeed, an all-around fellow. He's treasurer of the Junior Class, and a very efficient ball manager. If he wants anything he'll really go after it. Another Junior who is always up to mischief. He's vice president of the Junior class, on the ball team and just what manner of man he is, Barbara knows. A little fellow who never bothers trouble. He's a fast little ball player and being a Sophomore, he'll be around. He's vice-president of his class so he combines good sense with his sense of humor. Who could be more all-around than Dean? She's class president, F. H. A. president, Campus favorite and just about everything. We might add she's also very dramatic and very likeable. The most popular girl by votes, cheerleader, class prophet and active in her Senior class. She's a little terror, very gay and saucy. Everyone wonders how she will wear her hair tomorrow. A popular Junior, school favorite and cheerleader. This little gal gets around. Sheis a darling, sorta quiet but she has a dreamy look that you couldn't forget, even if you wanted to. The dignified Senior who doesn't neglect ber mirror. She was Hal- lowe'en Carnival Queen, school favorite, feature editor of Pirata and she is quite a feature herself. She's got a whistle bait figure! Need we say more? Wait a minute, sheis a cheerleader, school favorite and a Silly Sophomore.

A. secretary and quite a girl with plenty of zip and sparkle. A Junior, is known for her beautiful hair. She was voted school favorite and the ball players thought she made a pretty picture as Basketball Queen. The quiet red head at school who has big plans for the future. Strawberry blonde with eyes that always sparkle. She's a Senior and can out talk anyone. Betty wrote the Pirata calendar, was basket- ball queen attendant and is F. H. A. song leader. A Junior and secretary of her class. She is the little imp who por- trayed Penny in the Junior class play. Sweetness personified, Sara is the Heath musician. She plays everything from jazz to Beethoven. She's one of the best and always around when you need her. She's Bob's girl! Known for originality and her sweet manners. She's easily who's who. A Senior who is very straightforward in the way we like. She's Pirata business manager, was in the Junior-Senior play. She's also a librarian and pianist. Very intellectual. A Senior who is the fastest typist at H. H. S. It seems she's going to change typing for housekeeping. Elinor is treasurer of the class and one of the most deserving. He should be a preacher. Easy going and nothing ever bothers him. Plays ball, worries about Lettie and is Farm Crazy. She never says anything but we know she thinks because she has a wide awake look. Jackie and Jessie, practically twins, always dancing. We could tell you where, too. Her ambition is to be a bubble dancer. She's always acting crazy and we sometimes wonder if she has a brain. Bashful, never did like English but he tries anything. Class poet. His mind dwells on higher things. Sebree plays the sax, possesses a nice voice and his writings are something to be admired next to Shakespeare. She wants to be a pilot and say good-bye to shorthand. If you don't know her, you are missing something. Pirata Typist, the studious blonde who is very cute in an apron and loves to cook for her better half-Jimmie. Quiet but always willing to do her part. One of that inseparable trio, Jimmy, Elinor and Ginny! The quiet manner in which he tackles his work is to be admired. He's the only boy who makes all A's. She wants to look pretty for the boy friend so she rolls her hair at school for that nite. Ball player and he would do anything for you. Good as Gold! Oh, another married girl who takes time out to visit hubby! Having a time with Frogie, but still flashing that ring. Which sparkles most-the diamond or her brown eyes? Jimmy is Gloria's protege. We wonder if he has ever become a true hepcat? She doesn't like to study, but maybe if she was at Lone Oak she would be satisfied. Page eighty-tbree 67 .

It was a great success and the Seniors came through to win their candidate, the seat of Queen of the Carnival. This activity was entered into by all classes of the school. For two Weeks, classes did just about everything imaginable to raise hay for their candidate and finally on the night of the carnival, the winner was announced. Miss Colleen Parker was Carnival Queen of 1946. The carnival was gay and giddy. It started off with the music classes giving a short minstrel and then came the grand march. The costumes were all very clever and our friends and teachers looked vaguely familiar and comical in those clown and witch outfits. Cake walks, bingo and an auction were entered into by all. Each class gave some small stunt or program for the bene- fit of the carnival. Perhaps the most amusing and cleverest stunt of all was the freak show staged by the Junior class. The freaks were cer- tainly freaks. The coronation which was very picturesque, was held after most of the things had drawn to a finish. Evelyn Hopper arranged and made this part a success. As the curtain was being drawn, one could see before him, rows of pumpkins and a big kettle sitting in a field. A magician en- tered and by touching the pumpkins with his magic wand, the candidates appeared one by one. With a few majestic words, the queen appeared out of the kettle and a crown, floating down out of the air, was placed on her head. The candidate with the highest number of votes from the grades was Vojai Meredith, from the fifth grade. In The Halls of School One never knows the things that are going on around school until you stroll down the halls and see and overhear the various conversations and actions of these Heatherns. For instance, Bar- bara Harris, Bobby Bradford, Ethelyne Thomp- son, Leonard Elrod, Mary Ruth Anderson, Bill Boyd, Faye Jordon and Harold Elliot. Three of these couples have started saving pennies for the future. Could it mean matrimony? Does Billy Carter like T-Bones as well as Barbara Carroll does? Wonder where Marion Fletcher will be this time next year as Jimmie will be in the service? Wonder what will happen in the Parker- Thompson affair when he comes home to stay? Will Carolyn get Glenn or will he keep her dangling? We know why Glisson looks so sad -she recently had a letter from Jimmie saying that he woulcln't be home for quite awhile. What happened to Warren Smith on his birthday? Robert loves Melvia. This may be kid stuff but we hear it a lot from him. Peggy keeps them all fooled-watch her Joe. As I walk along the halls who should I hear but Betty Lowe telling one of her tall tales. Dorris is always singing I Have To Do It the Hard Way. Wonder why? We hear that Elinor has a man and a house waiting for her. Why are you waiting so long? Why does Bosco call every one Honey? Could he be fooling all of us? Why is Merlene all smiles? Well, take a Page eighly-ive look at her left hand. Let's wander down to the skating rink and see The Gloria McCuan on skates. QWell, she likes to try any way.Q Why is Jimmy Schmidt attending school so regularly? Could be Jack Carroll. Virginia, is it that you want to go to college that you won't accept the ex-soldier? Seems that Wade's little niece visits him quite often. Could it be her boy friend rides Gibson's bus? I've heard that Bill Hobbs liked to hang around the office fifth period until Mr. Bagwell chased him out. By glancing into corners, I see Ann johnson, Edwin Young, Wilma Joiner and Edward Kelly. If Jessie doesn't quit aggravating people something is going to happen to her. Even in the eighth grade there are several couples including jackie Carroll, Jimmy Wyatt, Clara Mae Bowles and Hugh Thomas jerrell. Where were three Senior girls on the afternoon of the day they sold ads? Parked? Will Billy Griffin and Lettie Leigh ever get along? Or is it Margaret? Why does Martha Nell wear low heels? Is it because Fuzzy might be shorter than she? Really! Elsie and Lindy made it to the tourna- ment. Why is it that some of the Freshmen girls are always reading the basketball news from Murray State College? Must be junior Herrold. Why does Bobby jenkins and Tandy Roper go alone to ball games when Betty and jo Ann Dowdy also like ball games? Oh, yes, this isn't gossip, but if there is anyone who backs their basketball team any more than Dorothy Ann Vannerson, we would like to challenge them to a contest. Do you know what happens the night after Bessie comes to school with her hair rolled up? Well, we do! Frances Hunter has been merry the last few months. Is it because Bubba is home? Does Norma Meredith have a secret heart throb or is she really the intelligent type who lets men alone? We wonder. Why was Jimmy Link at the movie with ,Frances Faircloth while Ruth Allen was at the ball game? Jack Hankins can gulp down three cheeseburgers to most people's one, we hear. Maybe he was hungry. Who knows? We wonder if Paul Hall is as bashful as his blushes try to tell us he is? Maybe we are just guessing, but we don't think he is. Who has any more trouble with boys than Betty Holt- Betty if you can't hold 'em, tie a string on 'em. Charlotte may look lonesome in the halls, but she isn't lonesome when she's with Roy. Edwina Upshaw keeps fond of Ballard County boys. Maybe she would like to make her home there. Who knows? It seems to keep everyone up in the air why Jackie Moss keeps singing about Texas, Why does Juyne Snyder miss school so much? Could it be that her husband is in the service? Why does Marie Griffin get called to the office so often? Could it be the telephone or the maroon DeSoto waiting outside? It seems that Wanda Turner is undecided about which it is to be, the boys from Heath or Tilghman. If this annual ever reaches Pennsylvania, we are sure to hear about the correspondence between Marilyn Smith and Delores Eckman. Well, girls, I believe the secret of becoming one of the leading ladies in Wade Tilford's life is to be a Freshman. At least, that is the way two got their place in line. Mary Faye Humphreys is all smiles when Lone Oak is mentioned. I wonder why? What about Robbie Canup's looking lone- some at the Heath and Wickliffe game? Ha! Earline Phillips doesn't like to be teased about a certain Junior boy. Leave women alone until he finishes college. That's a good idea, Sebree. Ruth Holly seems to like all guys. Jack Hankins and Faye McChristian are not the off and on type. Sara Lowry likes many, loves few. She isn't ready to go with one all the time. In the halls we hear a lot of Emma Lee and Ohmar! We hear Bill Blackford likes to ride horseback. What's wrong with Jo Ann? Could it be the slow mail from the Islands? -M.

E' AMT OCLC5 Ba MEZZ 1 Our Coach, the famed Willard Bagwell, has put forth untiring efforts in training our ball team. He is very good natured and is always in high spirits whether we are winning or losing. A particular characteristic of Mr. Bagwell is his chewing gum. Some coaches throw towels in the air, some pull their hair, but when things get hot for our team, Mr. Bagwell takes it out on his gum. Although we have not had a very successful season he plans great things for the future. Mr. Bagwell's exploits are known far and wide and he is considered the best player ever of Western Kentucky. He played three years at Heath, beginning in 1926, through 1929, in which year he was captain of the Pirates who were state champions. He went to Murray State Teachers College in '29, and played until '33 with a four year average of 18.2 points per game. He was high scorer of State in '33 and was chosen S.I.A.A. in '31, '32, '33 and Mississippi Valley all conference in '30. He was captain of State team in '29.

The game was first played by Heath boys on an outdoor court at the back of the building merely as a pastime. They had no coach nor even dreamed of organized basketball. In 1920 the boys became interested in the tournaments that were played each year and the first team was organized. The boys, without the l aid of the school financially or the help of a coach, attended the Western Kentucky tournament at Russellville, Kentucky. These trail blazers were: Henry Swift Harry Coat Ray Simmon Toni Helton Jerome Harris Ed McNeil They won the Western Kentucky title and were to go to state to play the Eastern Kentucky champions, but because of no financial aid, they were unable to do so. This team was an in- spiration to future teams and in 1928, Heath was runner-up for the regional title. Page ninety-fbur In 1929, while still using an outdoor court, a championship team emerged, coached by A. B. Moore. These players were: Craig Miller Davis Fortson Bagwell McElya Graham They won the Second District Tournament after defeating Tilghman 21-19 Lone Oak 29-17 Lowes 27-26 From district they went to the First Regional Tournament, defeating Eddyville 40-16 Murray 24-18 Almo 23-22 As regional winners, they went to State Tour- nament and came home with the state Champion- ship by defeating Lexington 27-25 Central City 22-15 St. Xavier 26-23 Corinth 21-16 As state champions they attended the National TOIlYHdllIl'lIf at Chicago, winning over Vermont 50-30, but were defeated by Jena, La., 27-25. It was after the state championship year that plans for a gymnasium were completed and made a reality. The Heath Pirates were participants in the 1930 regional, runner-up in 1931, champions in 1933, and runners-up again in 1938. Now that Willard Bagwell, star of the 1929 state championship quintet, is coaching at Heath we hope to once again break into the spotlight. Heath Cheerleaders The cheerleaders play no small part in th: success of a ball team. They boost our morale when behind and give added courage when ahead. Wllether winning or losing they have backed our team to the final second of the game. Our squad is one of the best looking Heath has ever had. Dressed in their gold and black outfits, they make a colorful picture carrying out their various formations. Wfilliam Blackford is captain of the pep squad and has worked hard to improve the regular routine of pep leading. This is XVilliam's second year as captain and fourth year to be a cheer- leader, his first year at Franklin and the other three at Heath. Williana is a Senior and will be hard to replace next year. Peggy has been a member of the pep squad since her Sophomore year and has done a grand job leading yells. Many of the new yells are due to her imaginative planning. Peggy may be small, but she is packed with pep and vitality and her oomph will be missed next year. Barbara was a member of the pep squad aL Murray High before coming to Heath in her Sophomore year and making the squad here. Baz'- bara has been a valuable asset to the squad not only in carrying out the motions, but she really gives out the yells. Keep going, Barbara. This is Naney's first year as a ehe:rlea.l: , but if the Miller tradition holds true, she will be baek next year. Nancy has caught on quickly to everything that goes with leading yells and with her knack for it she has done a swell job. She is a Sophomore and has plenty of time to raise to heights her sisters have set. Though this is Emma Lee's first year at pep leading, she has worked hard to learn the tricks and maneuvers of cheerleading and has shaped into a smooth working little cheerleader. She has been a great benefit to the squad this year and being a Junior will be in there pitching to keep up the Blackford standard.
