Basketball f f f Girls s The girls started off well with a victory over the strong East team 30 to 19, but in the next few games the regular lineup was broken up by sickness and the breaks of the games all favored the opposing teams. During the latter part of the season they began to work together again and won several more games before the close of the year. Elizabeth McClellan wasby far the outstanding player, and the entire team depended on her for its play. She set a school record by scoring 142 points. Other outstanding players were Verda Pearson, Nita Groth, and Anna Ruth Blankenship. Of a total of 14 games they won S and tied 1. Four other games were lost by less than 6 points and with a little luck might very easily been added to the win column. The team was seriously handicapped through out the year by the loss of most of its experienced players by graduation and transferance to other schools or some other cause. A total of 10 players were so lost before the end of the season. H. H. 30 ..... East 19 H. H. 25 . . . . Cavert 31 H. H. 19 . . . . Tarbox 29 H. H. 2 . . . . Clemons 0 fforj, H. H. 17 . . . .

Basketball f f f Boys The past year was tops for the boys' basketball, and very effectively demonstrated the advantage of using only a minimum number of players. Outranking even the fast, rangy team of 1932, which reached the semi-finals in the tournament, the boys went on to the inals this year and for over half the game seriously threatened to upset the champion Tarbox team. With the exception of Woolfolk who served only as a substitute the scoring was pretty well divided up to make a point total of 476 in 20 games. Ward set a record high by scoring 168 points, Cartwright 104, Cothern 67, Bowker 55, Miller 38, Wright 26, Wheeler 16, Woolfolk 3. In 10 games played in the regular season and tournament they won 8 and lost 2, scoring an average of 24 points to their opponents 16. In 10 extra games with teams of high school rank they won 5 and lost 5' making a total of 13 won to 7 lost. Two other games were won by forfeit. H. H. 14 ..... East S H. H. 17 ..... H. F. B's 18 H.

Edna Kitchen has found after much strife a tonic to remove freckles. The guests who came in later were Carrie Bell Durham, who is married, but to whom? Eunice Dutton, Louise Felts and Nan Haley are now teachers at High School. Rose Pardue and Mattie Evetts are now nurses at a-hospital in New York. There are two girls from this class who have been married twelve years, formerly Kathleen Parkhurst and Dorothy Thomas. Loveman's has accepted Gladys Myers, Geneva Williams, and Virginia Roberts as sales-girls for their firm. By this time the party was over. I thanked my friends for their kindness and bid them all goodfbye with a refreshed memory of my old classmates of dear old Highland Heights. LILLIAN CUNNINGHAM. PAULINE PETTY. 0 PRINCIPAIIS REPORT fContinued from page 117 Our school put on two school plays, ably directed by Mrs. Davy. One in the fall term An Old Time Remedy and one in the spring term At the End of the Rainbow. These were not only of great value in self expression and cultivating friendship among the pupils which is very conducive to good citizenship, but also were a great financial help for our athletic teams and for our school library. The school library also under direction of Mrs. Davy has acquired many new books. She has developed some splendid assistants for the library among the girls who voluntarily served in that capacity, The books have all been catalogued according to the latest standard and stu- dents are taught how to use the library and reference books in finding the material they need. For some time in the State there has been a discrimination against Nashville City Iunior High Schools because some of them were organized with Elementary grades and had to use 30 minute periods. The state law provides that accredited Junior High Schools are required to have 45' minute periods. The descriminators overlooked the fact that Nashville schools offered 39 weeks to the year while many state accredited schools had only 30 or Z6 weeks. Highland Heights now has 45' minute periods and operates 39 weeks in a year. We like to give full measure. As we draw near the end of the term, our pulse beats high in anticipation of en- larged facilities for next year. Our architest Mr. Woolwine has been out checking over blue prints calling for the completion of the other wing--new quarters for Home Economics, new Science Room, Art Rooms, double Lunch Room, new Gymnasium, new Library Rooms, new Lockers and everything. We hope they will be ready for Fall. The principal wishes to thank one and all for their cooperation in making this a splendidd year. And wishes a happy vacation to all. H. S.
