The Hillsboro School Spirit is the real Hillsboro-the one thing that remains in spite of the loss of our school building-because it lives in the hearts of all who are loyal to Hillsboro. It is the spirit which assures us that there will always be a Hillsboro- an even better one for students in the years to come. This annual is divided into the parts of our school life which have made up the Hillsboro School Spirit during l953. fr l ORGANIZATION HONOR GROUPS OUR ACTIVITIES .... l STUDENTS X SPORTS I Q E x 835535 4 K E Qi vgbgaiisgtmfvgaqh gi f swims 5.5.1 3 x ' X' Eg! fu Q fs SSS A sw., Mlgswlf-M-aj, x 3 33' M m.z?

No- not really! The tone of voice startled me into awareness. That was the first reaction of a long, long day. On Hallowe'en morning the un- expected struck. As tlames ran rampant, neighbors of Hillsboro slept, and before adequate water supply could be maintained, the early morning sun cast wierd shadows of leaning walls and twisted steel beams upon the school lawn. Disbelief was still my companion, even as I crested the hill, and saw below me the smoke and fire that had been Hillsboro. fu1bZ2LJf'gggQggj5hg gwgfwwmw V,,,, . We waicfnecl a4 walk am!

By nine o'clock the word had gotten around, and nearly the entire Student Body had gathered to prove to themselves that the report was correct-Hills- boro had burned. The Concessions stand opened to supply onlookers with watery hot chocolate. Staring into the blaze I began to remember item after item which had burned and was irreplace- able. ,. ,.

As if in return for the many kindnesses done for us, the Student Body brought in more clothing and food for needy families than ever before. We also had a true to life Santa Claus-R. A. Harwell. The Christmas program was made beautiful by the feeling that we had given to others as they had given to us. . . Nm! aaa ufzaal dfuhzll' wad aecagmyecl dy many, acdczimecf iq all As President of the Southern Association of Student Councils, we were the host school for the annual Workshop. Thursday afternoon, March l9th, delegates from as far as Texas, Florida, and West Virginia, began to arrive. They were welcomed royally by members of the Student Body. On the docket for their entertainment was a television broadcast, a banquet, a skating party, and a sight-seeing tour. Each delegate could be easily identified, for their pockets bulged with the numerous souvenirs that we supplied them. The worth of our Student Body members was greatly appreciated during these three days, for it was the little things they contributed that made the Workshop such a success. The delegates and sponsors, both from local and out-of-state schools, went home with a good impression of Hillsboro which had been created by our spirit of teamwork. All day Friday was devoted to the making of plans for the coming convention in El Paso, Texas. Ties were strengthened between other Nashville high-schools, and Hillsboro, through 'the Workshop, and although some delegates may have been sore after the skating party Friday night, many left with the hope of returning soon to another Hillsboro-sponsored event. A STRANGER lN THE NIGHT came to Hillsboro on April lOth, in the form of the 3-act play pre- sented by the Dramatic Club. Critics say it was exceptionally good, and that the award-winning Evelyn Buford, Otis Graham, and Ann Cobb well deserved their Oscars. HOMECOMING QUEEN AND HER COURT i953 was certainly a year of honors for Hillsboro. Evelyn Bridges went to Litton February 7th, and won the title of Miss Nashville High School. VALENTINE KING AND QUEEN OF HEARTS Homecoming was November l4th, when we played B. G. A. and won. Martha Lentz, Nancy Hickman Queen Dotty Leech, Sally Ellner, and Pinky Van Ness reigned over a Parade, a Spaghetti Supper, the game, and a dance at Julia Green. MISS HILLSBORO AND MISSNASHVILLE HIGH February l4th was first on the list of spring dances. At Parmer School, Hillsboro's King and Queen of Hearts were crowned. Reigning over the dance were Harry Brunson and Sally Ellner. 7fze cladenufi 0 Zifze Slufenl Eocfq waz! Early bird catches the worm High Ncon lt's been a long time That feeling of belonging to some- thing wonderful can be so exhilarat- ing that you will do all for that something , Therefore, we Hills- boro students roused ourselves on Tuesday morning in time to meet the Greyhound Bus at 6:3O-desti- nation Johnson City and the state basketball tournament! Our enthusiasm snowballed as the tires clicked off the miles, and we arrived in the great metropolis about 4:00 that afternoon. The buses separated to deliver us to our various tourist courts and hotels, but not be- fore plans were laid for a Pep Rally. The pep we had seemed un- bounded, and the bystanders in Hotel John Sevier must have thought ele- phants were stampeding, when we gave Clap your hands in the lobby. Standing in a group of your friends, no one could help feeling proud of Hillsboro's representation, and of us as a School. We may not have won, but we proved to ourselves, that we were outstanding both in athletics and in school spirit. Lhenqlhenecf iq aaa hip la fofmdan eilly Ancf who 250 We vqppaeciaflle? ....

The tour tickets, TKAB, GCGL, BVPH, and ABAH were composed of conscientious and trustworthy Juniors. For l954, the Student Body elected four promis- ing and loyal officials, Bill Thackston, presi- dent, Milton Komisar, boys' vice president, Jere Pinson, girls' vice president, and Ann Bennett, secretary-treasurer. Junior boys practice being dignified Seniors. Nncf an lfae Spawn? . . . Spam? gleam ! Official coat manager for people having their club pic- tures made for the Annual was Alice Clark.

Anxious cramming consumes the last few minutes before any test at Hills- boro, important or otherwise. A typical scene shows us a few excited students who probably crammed all night asking detailed questions of each other, bring- ing out each fine point. This seems only to throw the rest of the class, who more than likely didn't open a book, into utter confusion. However, time soon runs out, with heavy hearts everyone takes his seat, and the test begins. As each one reads over the paper before him, the confusion in the classroom gives way to the quiet of straining minds, to chuckles over Mrs. Frierson's multiple choice questions, groans at another tough one of Miss Allen's, and the in- cessant scratching of pen and pencil.

This year the Office staff accomplished much. We could easily have formed a track team! The long walks between buildings were brightened by our little animal friends Red rooster and Squish squirrel. A spectator might have found us bunny hopping to the academic building or participating in a quick game of basketball. We enjoyed every minute of our office work, but we could have made good use of a BURRO! A TYPICAL TUESDAY MORNING FACULTY MEETING The Hillsboro Students have always been proud of the spirit of friendly co-operation that has existed between the faculty and students. When the school burned all of us truly realized the caliber of our faculty. Putting aside their own personal losses, the men and women of the faculty established Hillsboro in its new home and guided the student body in adiusting to new conditions at Belmont. The lessons they have taught us, in character as well as school subjects, will never be forgotten and we will always be grateful for the part they have played in molding our lives. We have divided our faculty into the different departments in which they teach. Under each heading come the organizations and clubs connected with that department or sponsored by the tea MRS. W. O.

JOHNS B.S.-Pea body Choral Music, Music Appreciation, Music Club sponsor, Girls' Glee Club sponsor. 'Honest labor wears a lovely face. Hillsboro's deepest feelings of heart and life are reflected in music. The Choral Music Department provides many ways to develop vocal talents, with the Mixed Chorus, Freshman Mixed Chorus, Girl's Glee Club, and small ensembles being the .llXllll Ullllllli' performing groups. With lovely green robes to build their morale, the singers staged an inspiring Christmas program for Hillsboro as well as ioining in with all of Davidson County for another wonderful Christmas program. Mrs. Johns directed this all city chorus with Martha Sandstead and Bob Johns as accompanists. In April, Murfreesboro was bombarded by Hillsboro's Mixed Chorus and Girls' Glee Club singing in the Middle Tennessee Vocal Festival. Singing is fun-especially when the chorus goes on the road. The resonant tones that echoed at Central March l3 at the Junior High Festival could be attributed to the tenors and basses in the Freshman Chorus. The Freshmen seem to be quite at home doing four parts this year. lt seems that the vocal talent of Hillsboro cannot be denied, for instead of the usual four people who make the All State Chorus, Hillsboro sent twelve.

The speeches for the candidates and all the other exciting preliminary campaigning had been completed before the school burned, so the only thing left was the actual voting. Polls were set up on the tennis courts and soon orderly l?l lines of well-informed, conscientious l?J voters cast their vote for the leaders of their choice. There was busy efficiency in the office for the next few hours, that finally produced the official re- turns.

At this time he explained to the student body the plans drawn up by the Fathers' Club for an honorary organization to be known as The Burro Circle. The whole idea originated through the fact that many students had rendered unselfish services for Hillsboro and were yet to be recognized. A special committee composed of representatives of the Fathers' Club and a few faculty members acting in an advisory capacity, spent ap- proximately six weeks checking the records of each member of the graduating class. Points were compiled for each individual student by this committee from every available source of information in the fields of service, scholarship, athletics, and leadership. The l5 'Z who earned the greatest number of points were chosen for membership. That day twenty-six seniors were formally initiated as charter members of The Burro Circle. nnett Singleton Don Jones Mary Ann Williams Alva Ann Brauch Otis Graham Marianne Wallace Patricia Ridge Bill Hollinshead dig, z J 'L Q Q ,WH K x i , 7 , im, .www-vf-Mm , 4 an as ww ,H ,N 4 A Q ..:z..

Splashes of green and gold, waving shakers, showers of confetti, and wide open mouths filled the cheering section. No more idle gossip, knitting, or study- ing l?l now, for the famous Hillsboro spirit is at fever pitch. The gym is filled with cheers and chants, and yells of encouragement to the team on the floor from the wildly excited mob in the stands. Now tragic looks of disappoint- ment, then unrestrained ioy, and again worry and anxious anticipation is mir- rored on the faces of the student body. This student body, who with lack of lessons, probably voice, and sleep, to face them in the morning, will back its school to and beyond the limit in all its endeavors. Jlwfvw llll 'l'llE ll lllll CLASS M52-1953 FRESHMAN In September, l949, we of the senior class entered Hillsboro High School as freshmen. We could only wonder then what the next four years would bring. Now the dreams we knew have been fulfilled. This is a history of a small part of that happy fulfillment. That September we were thrilled with the new and exciting school life. We were unaccustomed to Hills- boro, and Hillsboro's, but we did our part to fill our duties as freshmen. Our leaders were President Harry Brunson, Vice-President Jerry Caldwell, Secretary Nancy Hickman, and Sgt.-at-Arms Tom Robinson. The school spirit that year was so great that we formed the very successful Pep Club. We all remember our first football game, our first activity dance, our first prom, and the many other new and wonderful experiences. That year the attendant to our first prom was- Pinky Van Ness, remember? Scholastically, Rosalind Allen forged to a 98 average to take honors. Nicky Coutras, Wilburn Smith, Charlie Lawson, Harry Brunson, and Jack Wakefield were among our footballers. Don Farrar was a Burro baseballer. Our freshman year was gone as quickly as it had begun, and we moved on to greater heights. SOPHOMORE Sophomores! Already a year had gone by since we first entered Hillsboro High School. Under the able leadership of President Bennett Singleton, Vice-President Jerry Caldwell, Sec.-Treas. Pinky Van Ness, and Sgt.-at-Arms Novus Henry, we really became a part of Hillsboro. ln every activity the sophomores shone. Ann Farmer, Joanne Dyer, George Egbert, Tommy Bennett, Otis Graham, Pinky Van Ness, and Bill Hollinshead were on the Hill Topics staff. Don Jones, Harry Brunson, Wilburn Smith, Harold Austin, Jerry Caldwell, Don Pemberton, Bennett Singleton, and John McClendon were outstanding in basketball. David Stooke was on the golf foursome. Don Farrar, Jerry Caldwell, Ben Singleton, Don Jones, and Wilburn Smith were among the star baseball players. Our prom queen attendant was Sally Ellner. ln the field of art Phillip Clark, Nell Foster, and Phillip Givan copped the school's top prizes. Phillip Clark won the Banner Talent Contest that year. Everyone in the class was outstanding in school spirit and in all the many other school activities. At last June-and iuniors! JUNIOR Our years at Hillsboro seem to be passing all too fast and under the expert leadership of class officers: Barthe Wynn, Bob Johns, Martha Lentz, Marianne Wallace and Don Jones we entered our Junior year. Tom Robinson, Nicky Coutras, Harold Austin, Al Beasley, Jack Wakefield, Harry Brunson, and Novus Henry rep- resented us well on the gridiron and at each and every Burro sports event Pinky Van Ness, Dottie Leech, Sally Ellner, Nancy Hickman, and alternate Marianne Wallace lead enthusiastic supporters in cheering our teams on to victory. There was a lot of talent in our class and when it came time to select the cast for a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta H. M. S. Pinafore the leading parts fell to fellow classmates: Mary Biddy House, Sally Ellner, Carole Schlick, and Bill Bowen. Basketball season was fast upon us and both teams made quite a name for themselves. The girls copped the second place trophy in the Girls Invitational Tourney at Livingston. We were well-represented on the team by Betty Ann Chadwick, Alice Clark, Pat Eubanks, Lee Ann Allen, and Laberta Lasley. John McLendon, Jerry Caldwell, Don Pemberton, and Harry Brunson, Don Jones were members of our class in the boys lineup and did they make us proud when as a decided underdog, beat Dupont in the l9th District finals and captured the crown. Jerry Caldwell won honors for us by being placed on the all-tournament team and the Region V all-tourney team in which we were runners-up. From there our team went to the State in Memphis and although we won no titles, we won the respect and admiration of all who watched us play. Sally Ellner, our Junior beauty, was elected by the student body as Miss Hills- boro and was the schooI's entry in the Miss Nashville High School Contest at Litton. The Honor Society took seventeen members from our class and some of the chosen scholars were Rosalind Allen, Elinor Colley, Lucille Corkran, Robert Fields, Nell Foster, Martha Ann Hibbetts, Beth Henderson, David Lyman, Virginia Pope, Polly Ann Trabue and Mary Ann Williams. ln the springtime our fancy more than slightly turned to Student Body elections and when we finally discovered how to count up the votes on real voting machines we proudly looked upon Jerry Caldwell, president, Harry Brunson, vice-president, Nancy Hickman, girl's veep, and Lucy Van Ness, secretary-treasurer, as next year's governing body. It was time, too, for the Junior- Senior prom and the theme A Garden in the Rain we thought it a huge success. Nancy Hickman was our attendant to the queen. This was quite a busy year for us and the Beer House l3! With final exams behind us we eagerly looked forward to next year-our Senior year! SENIOR Seniors at last! Our busiest and our last year at H. H. S. We entered Hillsboro's halls knowing that under the guidance of class officers Al Beasley, Barthe Wynn, Martha Lentz, Marianne Wallace, and Dick Cate, Bill McWhorter and our sponsors Mrs. Derthick and Mr. Harris we would certainly share a terrific year together. We didn't suspect, however, the short time we could stroll down those memory packed halls and October 31, 1952 the red brick building that had for just three short years been our home burned to the ground. The story from there of our class is a history in itself. We were without a school-but we were not without spirit-that's something you can't burn. Upon hearing of our school's fate Pinky Van Ness, Nancy Hickman, and Jerry Caldwell, delegates to the S. A. S. C. convention in Miami, were more determined than ever to win for Hillsboro the presidency, and they DID! Our football team kept right on rolling although in borrowed uniforms. Nicky Coutras was at the helm and Novus Henry was co-captain. Grid stars included Ben Pridemore, Bobby Lewis, Harold Austin, Jack Wakefield, Faxon Elliott, Charlie Lawson, Harry Brunson, Wilburn Smith, Tom Robinson, and Al Beasley. Al was the out-standing member making the Banner and Tennessean All-City teams, plus honorable mention on the All-State team. The traditional Burro pep was ever present in our cheerleaders with Dottie Leech as captain, and Pinky Van Ness, Nancy Hickman, Sally Ellner, Marianne Wallace, and Barbara Pitts leading yells right along with her. The Burros liked Ike too as a result of the mock election sponsored by Mrs. Thackston's History class. Although the wild campaigning was done at Hillsboro the votes were counted at our new home-Belmont College. Homecoming ceremonies saw Dottie Leech crowned as queen and Martha Lentz, Nancy Hickman, Sally Ellner, and Lucy Van Ness com- posing her court. Rosalind Allen, Bob Johns, Mary Ann Williams, and Lucille Corkran were selected as Honor Society officers and Senior Nancy Hibbett deserves much credit for her excellent work in heading the clinic staff. Time was passing all too swiftly and basketball was once more upon us. Captain Alice Clark, co-captain Laberta Lasley, Betty Ann Chadwick, Pat Eubanks, and Lee Ann Allen were members of our sextet. Betty Ann Chadwick was the stand-out winning All-City honors as well as being placed on the l9th District All- Tournament team. Boys basketball was great with Seniors Don Jones, Jerry Caldwell, Ben Pridemore, John McLendon, Harry Brunson, and Don Pemberton bringing glory, honor and praise to the team and to our school. Achievements were: second place in the Livingston Invitational Tourney, 19th District Champs, Region V runner- ups and fourth place in the State. Mid-way in the season the annual Valentine dance was held and Sally Ellner and Harry Brunson were selected as the royal couple. Hillsboro Seniors George Drewry and Bill Mc- Whorter placed high in a nation-wide science talent search and Bill and Rosalind Allen brought more atten- tion to our school by winning honors in the state-wide Forensic League tournament. Rosalind was also named as winner of a statewide oratorical contest sponsored by the American Legion. Stranger in the Night, a comedy-mystery three-act play, was staged and Jean Askew, Evelyn Buford, Bill Bowen, Jim Adams, Otis Graham, Grace LeBaron, O. V. Meyers, Beverly Youree, Hilda Jordan and Martha Brogden were fourth year students with roles. We were barely through with our term papers when time came for the Burro Blowout practices. It is needless to say that this Senior proiect took much work but we were rewarded in knowing that it was the best Blowout ever! Rosalind Allen topped our class for Valedictory honors while Lucille Corkran and John Partain tied for Salutatorian. The Burro Circle came into being our Senior year and those care- fully chosen were students with high records in scholarship, leadership, athletics and service. Twenty-six seniors were selected. Pwfflww llll Tllll ll Illli CLASS 195.2-195.2 Star reporter Beth Henderson of the Daily Flop is planning a rocket trip for earth's colony on Neptune, in the year of 1999, but before she leaves there are some interviews she must have. While riding the subway to town she overheard stenographers Zeneda Hollis, Willmia Hines, Virginia Pope, and Dorothy Smith talking about their new iobs at the Harold Sparkman Pillow Stuffing Factory. She dropped in at the lobby of the famous Rundle Hotel for a chat with Hez Thompson, the manager. While in the hotel she saw Sory Smith, Carole Schlich, a tap dancing team on Broadway, and newly elected congress- men from Tennessee, Philip Clark and Tommy Faulkner. The next day was the 4th of July, and almost everyone in town went to the park to hear Governor George Egbert give a speech. ln the crowd were pawn shop owners Tom Marsh and David Lyman. Beth tried to get an interview with the governor after the speech but his press agent, Ogden Stokes, would let no one bother him. That night she went to the opera to hear Smiley Williams and Nancy Mooney sing the new opera written by the comedy team Jane Suter and Kay Tate, called Memphis Central Blues . Curtis Ballenger led the orchestra and Mary Biddy House fainted while singing Flight of the Bumblebee at inter- mission. Late that night there was a tire down by the river in a warehouse of the Billy Watts-David Allman Snuff Company. Beth hopped in a cab and raced to the scene. Just as the blaze was at its height, the secretary of the Company, Joanne Colyar, appeared at an upper story window, yelling for help. Firemen Engine Fraser and Fred Edling rushed up a ladder and got her down iust as the building collapsed. So ended a busy day for our reporter on the eve of her trip. The next morning at the office a surprise-going-away party was given. She found La Nieve Cartwright, James Abston, and Bill Hollinshead took pictures of the gang. Guests included were Clarence Johnson, the inventor of dehydrated water, Sarah Baskette, Janet Harrison, high school Latin teachers, Helen Hurt, Harriet Borre, Sara Baird, and Lucia Finley, lecturers at college of Ancient History, and the famous doctors Richard Booher and Jim Adams, who performed brain operations on mice, iust to name a few who were there to wel- come her. Afterwards Beth went to her office to write the story of her weeks work, finished that, handed it in to city editor Philip Givan and science columnist George Drewry as well as sports editor Randall Bowman and proof-reader Bill Patrick. Her friends Rosalind Allen, Jean Askew, Evelyn Buford and Nell Foster who were going on a sightseeing tour on Neptune accompanied Beth to the rocket ship. Her purpose in going to Neptune is to get a story on the people there. At the rocket launching station, Editor Bill McWhorter and publisher John Partain were slightly burned by the rocket iet exhaust as the ship roared away into space. Having arrived at Neptune she is met by corre- spondent Otis Graham at the Space port. Beth-Well, Otis, it sure has been a long time since l have seen you. And speaking of seeing old friends, the stewardesses on that rocket ship were Martha Lentz and Mary Ann Williams. Otis-Why Beth, didn't you know that a lot of the old class of '53 has moved up here to live? The pilot of that ship was Kirk Sutherland, and the co-pilot was Charles Brown. That's the reason you had such a short trip. Come on and l will show you around town, and you will see many of our old friends again. We'll grab a Drumright-Driveright Cab for the ride into town. Ann is still up to her old tricks. She never tires of driving people around. Beth-Well, l do know that the Mayor is Al Beasley, and the town boss is Jake House. And l read in one of your papers on the way up that Robert Zeigler hm been made Chief of police. Otis--That's right, and you can bet that there is no reckless driving while he is around. , Beth-Let's stop in this restaurant. lt say's Nichols and Coutras' Restaurant. Could this be our old friends Nick and Sonny. Otis-You bet it is, and they have the best place in town. Their floor show is tops, with a chorus line of Pat Heim, Jane Caplinger, Alice Clark, and Ann Ford, led by Fancy Nancy Hickman, the Hula Dancer. And if you get rowdy, bouncers Bill Brauch and David Stooke will heave you out. Beth-Oh, l see Wilburn Smith and Don Farrar behind the bar handing out drinks. And the head- waiter Bobby Lewis is flirting with the cigarette girls, Mary Eller, Margaret Ann Harwell, and Hilda Jordan. Let's go and talk to them all! lDuring the course of the evening the reporters talk to Novus Henry and John Thrower, professors of Calculus at the Space Cadet University, and Ann Former, the ambassador to Paris, France. Later they leave the restaurant to wander down main street.l Beth-Look! There are three town gossips, and they look like Alva Brauch, Martha Brogden, and Beverly Hackman. Otis-That's them all right. Martha Ann Hibbitts has started a matrimonial agency for such pupils as Pat Eubank, Gene Johnson, Lucille Corkran and Hez Thompson. And here come policewomen Lee Ann Allen and Roberta Starr to run them in. Beth-And look on that billboard! Tonight Ann Cobb and Nancy Minor wrestle for the girl's champion- ship of Neptune. The semi-final attraction will be a knitting match between Billy Parker and Roger Blackwood, with Dick Cate as Judge. Otis-It ought to be some fight. Have you noticed yet that all the buildings here are only one story high? lt is because architects Bob Johns, Bennett Singleton, and Tommy Bennett were not crazy about walking up stairs. Beth-l see here in a paper that Laberta Lasley pitched a no-hitter for the girl's baseball team. Polly Ann Trabue hit a home run, and manager Joanne Dyer gave them both a bonus. Otis-And l see here that Pinky Van Ness, Connie Hays were elected President and Vice President of SHF, which means, Survivors of the Hillsboro Fire. Must be a sequel to the Daughters of the American Revo- lution. And the front page story is that Doctors Don Pemberton and Riley Short have performed the first successful operation on Siamese twins, trying to separate them. And it says that Harry and Sally are coming along fine. Beth-The new best-seller surely has made a hit up here. lt's the book written by Patricia Ridge and Mary Jean Jordan, entitled, Witty Words and Jolly Jokes, How to be the life of the party. Also, Jack Wakefield and Tom Robinson have written a song that's on the top of the hit parade. They patterned it after the old song, Sam's Song, and called it Nep's Tune . Otis-Here's an advertisement of O. V. Meyer's new shaving cream, along with Tom Turk's Ragged Razor Blades. With that combination they guarantee no muss or fuss or bother. Just blood. Beth-Look! There's Jerry Caldwell and Donald Jones, working hard at their iob as lamplighters. They are still arguing about which one is the tallest! Otis-Now we are passing the school of Ways and Means to get your Man, taught by Dottie Leech and Barbara Pitts. l can see students Marianne Wallace, Connie Hull, and Joan Marks inside working hard. Betty Blevins and Darlene Thomas graduated with honors this spring. Beth-Here comes bank president Bubba Philips and his bodyguards, Harold Austin, Faxon Elliot, and Ben Pridemore. They say all he does is sit around his office all day and crack jokes. Otis-There is the garage that is run by Ann Ashcroft, Sarah Boss, Cynthia Carrier, and Betty Ann Chad- wick. They decided to learn to be mechanics, since they were tired of the boy's cars having troubles iust as they got on a lonely road. Beth-There is the local hang out for the girls, Le Baron's Beauty Salon, or Get'em while you can still run faster than they can Shop. Otis-l see assistants Wenona Stagg and Beverly Youree spend many hours working on Pauline Eakin, Nancy Hibbitt and Sue Workman trying to cover up nature. Beth-lt's always a noisy place cause when Kay Tate, Sally Williams, Judy King, and Mary Claire Mar- shall get together the air is filled with news. Otis-Lets' get away from that place, and get some interviews. Say, who are those people picketing thdt store? Beth-The sign says they are protesting the weather. The pickets are all women. Otis-There's Lucy West, Jane Van Arsdell, Sue Fanning and Ruth Lee Headden. I think they want the weather bureau to change this hot weather. It seems the girls husbands won't buy them fur coats because the weather is always hot. Beth-Poor Walter George and Johnny Evans, the weather men really have it tough when Suzanne Shearon and Patsy Mason get made about something. Otis-Yea, its a cruel world. But look at those circus troupers. -Beth-Anna Thomas in her bareback riding outfit looks real happy. Not to mention the trapeze artists. There are the members of that group-Carolyn Townes, Jane Suter, Marianne Sandford, Ann Peterman, Betty Martin, not to mention Pat Fox and Martha Gibbins. Otis-But the lady lion trainer Elinor Colley looks pretty sad. lt seems they are replacing lions with trained robots. She gets plenty of advice about her act from the roustabouts John Schnieder and Fred Fisher. Beth-And there is Billy Bowen, who never learned to do anything but talk. He finally met his match, tho', when he met Martha Sandstead. Otis-Yes, but he and Louis Patton have been having a big debate over which was the best State Tourna- ment, Memphis, or Johnson City. Robert Fields and Ralph Gibbons have started a new radio program called, Don't Let Venus Come Between Us. lt is followed by the very popular soap opera, John's Other Wife, starring John McLendon and Kay Tanner. Beth-There is Barthe Wynn on a soap box yelling something about the evils of whiskey. Otis-Being concession manager back in his high school days has been too much for him, and he is leading a crusade now to make everyone drink coca-colas. Beth-Well, let me tell you something from back home. Jimmy Mathis was made principal of Hillsboro. He had been there so long, and they knew that they would never get rid of him, so they iust made him principal. Otis-Well, l'm glad that Jim finally made good. Beth, it's iust about time for you to be heading back to earth. Charlie Lawson has fueled up the rocket ship, and everything is ready. Anytime you get a vacation, come on up here and we will get together with the old gang again and talk about the four years we spent at Hillsboro. We all agree that they were the happiest of our lives. Good-bye! Top Rowf EARL BARTHE WYNN, JR. VICERPRESIDENT Homeroom President I, 2, Student Council I, 2, 3, 4, Science Club I, S.A.S.C.

JUNIOR Activities During '52 and '53 the Junior Class contributed much to the activities of the school. They were represented on the football and basketball teams, leading the Burros to victory. Such outstanding stars as Bobby Hatcher and Ann Hawkins were seen in basketball. Cheering the Burros to victory were Jere Pinson and Betty Jean Lauderdale. The Junior Class was well represented at the Beauty Contest by such lovelies as Matilda Martin, and Ann Bennett. Evelyn Bridges capped first place and went on to become Miss Nashville High School. Milner Ball represented Hillsboro at the S. A. S. C. in Miami, Fla. and was elected president for the coming year. The class worked hard on the Prom, making it a terrific success. So ended the year with the Juniors looking forward to their next year as dignified seniors. JUNIOR OFFICERS President ...... Vice President .... Secretary .... Treasurer ......

SOPHOMORE ACTIVITIES I The Sophomore school spirit carried over from their freshmen year as was seen by their atten- dance and cheering section at the football games. They also boasted such players as Charles Grooms, Billy Ingram, and Jerry Cornelius on the Burro Team. Several outstanding basketball players on the Girls Team were representing the Sophomore Class. Nancy Headden, Jerry Seiberling, and Nancy Richardson were seen on the court. The Beauty Contest also brought out some Sophomore Beauties. Nancy Bowers, Pat Goer- ringer, and Betty Waggoner were seen on the stage running for the title of Miss Nashville. SOPHOMORE OFFICERS President ........ ......... D AVID MOORE Vice President. . .

They showed their school spirit by good atten- dance at the games and giving out mimeographed cheers to the student body at the tournaments.

The boys started off with a slow mov- ing game and dropped behind at the very first, while speedy Litton built up a good-sized lead. A disappointed, but spirited crowd stuck with their team even though they couldn't seem to shake-off Litton's lead. Anxious faces, worried frowns began to take on a more hopeful look later on as the big Burro team started cutting down that lead. As the boys not only cut the lead, but tied the score and moved out front on the scoreboard, the crowd that had stuck by them so far, relaxed and sat back to enioy the last half. Relieved and contented, they watched each man do his part toward capturing another victory for the Burro boys. aaaldczll . . HILLSBORO l3 BELLEVUE l3 Before an overfiow crowd at Hillsboro Memorial Stadium, the '52 grid team opened its season successfully against the favored Bellevue Owls by rallying to tie the game in the final quarter, l3-l3. Bellevue took the opening kickoff and marched 64 yards in ten plays for the first score. They added the extra to go out in front, 7-O. The Burros came to life in the second period when Nicky Coutras plunged ten yards for the first touchdown. The attempted extra point failed and the Owls led 7-6 at halftime. After intermission a costly Burro fumble on their own ten yard line led to the second Bellevue tally. The extra point try was broken up and the l3-6 margin stood until dangerously late in the last quarter. Fight- ing back hard, the guys in Green and Gold drove to the Bellevue l-4 yard line, where Harry Brunson hit Jack Wakefield in the end zone. Wilburn Smith cracked through for the all-important extra, which gained the team a tie with the defending Class A Champs. HILLSBORO O FRANKLIN O On the following Friday six bus loads of Hillsboro fans rolled up to Franklin, Kentucky, to give the team sup- port in this inter-state game. After battling to a standstill for over three quarters, the Wildcats drove all the way to the Burros' two yard stripe before a fumble ended their only serious threat of the evening. Shortly thereafter Wakefield caught a long pass from Brunson to carry the ball into Franklin territory. From here the com- bined ball-carrying efforts of Coutras and Brunson moved the pigskin to the two yard line. With a final thrust Coutras ran across, but a fifteen yard penolty nullified the play, which probably would have been the margin of victory for the Burros. Leading the defensive attacks were hard-charging senior co-captain Novus Henry and line backer Ben Pridemore. HILLSBOR-O 26 NORTH 2 On September l9, the Gridders captured their first victory de- feating the North Yankees 26-2, as .lerry Cooley made a successful debut at half- back. There was no score in the opening period, but the Burros rolled to two touchdowns in in the second quarter. The first one was set up by a forty yard pass from Coutrs to Wakefield. Cooley scored his first six- pointer from the four yard line and also added the extra point. Later in the quarter Brunson received a punt near the side lines and appeared to be hemmed in by tacklers, when, with the aid of good team blocking he dashed into the clear and raced 75 yards for the score. In the last half two more sustained drives led to the final touchdowns with Cooley and Brunson going over, respectively. Cooley added the final Hillsboro point of the even- ing to extend the lead to 26-O. Substitutes were used freely in the fourth quarter and the Yankees prevented a shut- out when they managed a safety. As time ran out Harold Austin intercepted a pass and ran it all the way to the North ten yard stripe, but the game ended before another play could be run. Austin, Charles Lawson, a defensive de- mon at guard, and Brunson and Cooley were the standouts in the first triumph of the season. Although the game had its stars, it was a true team victory. HILLSBORO O CENTRAL O lt was a keyed-up Central ball club that held a superior Hillsboro team from victory at the Central stadium. The Tornadoes' one main threat of the evening was halted at the ten yard line as the Burro forward wall held. The team clearly outplayed Central, but never could manage to get inside the Tornado 20 yard stripe. As time was running out, a Central player intercepted a pass and raced goal- ward, but the home team's rooters watched their homecoming victory fade as Coutras made the game-ending tackle. '7fne4e Gawzageaud Qaicffead Gulcfadiecf Riaaf M 8. 14. A mighty Hillsboro team, dedicating the game to their Alma Mater, smothered Mont- gomery Bell Academy's eleven l9-0 on the loser's gridiron. Playing in uniforms borrowed from Father Ryan High School, since all athletic gear was destroyed in the fire which leveled the great school building, Hillsboro tallied three times to gain a convincing victory before more than 3,000 fans. The first score came midway in the second quarter when a short Maroon punt went out of bounds on their own 35-yard line. From here, Coutras fired to Wakefield and Brunson ran over the extra point for a 7-0 halftime lead. After holding for downs on their 29 yard stripe, the Burros drove to the Academy's 35, where Brunson took a triple reverse handoff and raced untouched for the second touchdown. Late in the last period the Burro eleven got possession of the pigskin on their 49, and shortly thereafter Brunson swept right end for the final tally from the 28 yard line. Beasley led the defensive standouts in the line and Brunson played his finest game of the season at halfback. After the game, the Hillsboro student body, about 550 strong, escorted the courageous players from the field. lf Hillsboro students and athletic teams continue to have this kind of spirit which came forth on this all-important occasion, no obstacle will be too large for them to overcome.

Third Team All City JACK WAKEFIELD HILLSBORO I2 T. l. S. O After playing games away for three weeks, the boys returned home to play T. l. S. in the role of underdog. The first half featured fine defensive work by both teams and ended scoreless. Hillsboro took the second half kickoff and marched all the way to score. Coutras plunged the final two yards to make the score 6-O. With T. l. S. in possession of the ball on the next kick off, Pridemore intercepted a Bronco aerial in T. I. S. territory. Brunson faded for a pass and it looked as if he would be thrown for a big loss, when he found Wakefield in the end zone for a second touchdown. The Burros held on to win their second game of the season, i2-O. Wakefield was the outstanding player on the field with Al Beasley running a close second. HILLSBORO I4 WEST i8 A brilliant second half comeback fell short as West held on to an early i8-O lead to edge out the Burros. During the first half the Blue Jays capi- talized on numerous fumbles to score once the first quarter and twice the second for an I8-O lead at intermission. ln the second half Hillsboro came back with renewed spirits. The running of Brun- son and Tom Robinson after Coutras' kickoff return to mid-field, moved the pigskin quickly over for the initial score. After holding the Blue .lays on the ensuing kick- off, a host of linemen led by Bull Sweeney blocked the West punt. From here the gridders ran it over again with Brunson doing the scoring. The only Hillsboro drive was stopped in the final period by a clip- ping penalty, and the game ended i8-l4. Standouts were numerous with the Burros. Beasley played another fine game, spend- ing most of his time in the West backfield. He was ably supported by Lawson, Wake- field, and Austin. HILLSBORO O LITTON 27 Litton High School came on to Hillsboro Memorial Field rated tops in the state and left no doubt in the minds of the spectators as to their capability, as they defeated a fighting Hillsboro team, 27-O. Led by a fast and powerful backfield, the Lions rolled up two touchdowns the first half. ln the second half the tremendous Lion defense stopped the Burros drives with very little gain and Litton added two more touchdowns to win handily. Beasley and Lawson were standouts on defense, while Brunson and Coutras turned in the best offensive performances. HILLSBORO 6 COHN 32 A lack of sufficient practice after the fire leveled the school hampered the team's aspirations against Cohn. This was evidenced by the fact that the Tigers poured on the score after a close first half. As soon as Hillsboro took possession of the ball, they marched for the touchdown, with Brunson going over. Cohn came back quickly for seven points by means of a long pass. A Burro fumble on the following kickoff gave Cohn the ball deep in Hills- boro territory, from which point they quickly scored again to lead, l3-6. The final half was all Cohn as all-city halfback Don Rucker led the way to three more six-pointers. The end showed Hills- boro on the short end of a 32-6 score. HILLSBORO 7 B. G. A. O After a homecoming parade and spaghetti supper, the Hillsboro student body gathered at their own Memorial Stadium, in the shadow of the burned school, and ended the '52 grid season against B. G. A. In the opening minutes Coutras received a leg injury while blocking a punt and was sidelined for the remainder of the game. The Burros kept B. G. A. on the defensive by blocking four more punts, but could not manage a score for over three and one half quarters. With five minutes left in the game the Green and Gold gang got the ball on B. G. A.'s 35 yard stripe. Led by the running of Robinson and Brunson they moved the necessary distance and Brunson plunged for both touchdown and extra point. The defensive battle ended successfully the homecoming and season for the grid- ders, 7-O. Robinson and Brunson shone on offense, while Beasley, who blocked three punts, and Wakefield, who blocked one rated the weekly All-Nashville selection for their fine defensive play. lslaqd' Eadkeliall . . This year's Hillsboro Burros gave the school its highest finish in the Nashville lnterscholastic League in its history. The team finished 2nd in league play with a 20-2 record and compiled an overall mark of 23-3. Coach Jones in his third year as head of the Burro cagers began the year with seven lettermen returning from last year's state tournament quarter- finals. Back to lead this year's squad were starting men Don Jones, Jerry Caldwell, John McLendon, and Bobby Hatcher, and also reserves Don Pemberton, Joe Gorman, and Harry Brunson. An additional boost came in transfers Wayne Wilson and Ben Pridemore who later became the fifth starter on the team. Juniors Henry Bland and David Johnson completed the fine squad for the year. Don Jones and Jerry Caldwell were chosen captain and alternate captain respectively to lead the team. Highlights of the season were the two tremendous victories over Dupont, the crushing de- feat of arch rival West and the great comeback effort in the second Litton game. Individual honors were numerous for the Burro cagers. Caldwell, McLendon, Hatcher, and Jones all scored over 250 points to give Hillsboro the best balanced offense in the league. Caldwell was placed on the All- City team at the close of the season, while Hatcher and McLendon received third string berths and Jones honorable mention. All five starters were named to weekly all city listings on numerous occasions. After the team opened the season with a warm- up 49-25 victory over Donelson, they traveled to West for what was supposed to be a closely con- tested game. However the Burros completely de- molished the Jays under a 57-25 avalanche as Jones hit for 26 points to personally outscore the stunned West Club. The next victim was Litton, who went down 48-38. The Burros then iourneyed to Dupont for the first of three spine-tingling clashes. A red hot Bulldog squad built up a ten point lead at half- time and managed to hold off a determined second half rally by Hillsboro to win 48-43. Sonny Russ hit for l8 to lead Dupont while Caldwell and Jones paced the Burros with l2 and ll points. After this opening defeat the team moved into high gear and rolled over Bellevue, Franklin twice and Hendersonville with ease as Caldwell poured in 29 against Franklin and McLendon, playing at forward, as Jones was sick, poured in 26 in the Hendersonville contest. ln the last pre-Christmas game the Burros took Central by a 48-4l score. The Livingston Invitational Tournament was the next feature of the season's play, where the Burros came away with the Runner-up's trophy. On Decem- ber 22 the Burros iourned to Cookeville to play Celina in the opening round. The well balanced Hillsboro offense was too much for the David Short-paced Celina squad as the Burros rolled up a 63-45 victory. Caldwell hit for 22 and Hatcher for l9 to pace our scoring. Following Christmas Hillsboro returned to face Dupont in the semifinals of the tournament, as the Burros sought revenge for their only defeat. In the second quarter Hillsboro took the lead and held on until the final quarter when Dupont tied the score with two minutes to play. However, in a hectic overtime period Hillsboro pulled ahead to win 42-40. Hatcher was sensational in victory as he racked up l8 points and along with Jones and Caldwell dominated the boards. The following night the elated Burros were caught off guard by a surprisingly good Cooke- ville team which built up an early l4-2 lead and managed to hang on to win a 57-48 victory and with it the tourney championship. Returning from Christmas vacation Hillsboro rolled over Goodlettsville, Cumberland, Lipscomb, and Bellevue, being pressed only in the Lipscomb game, where after trailing for three quarters they pulled away 55-47. The next game saw the team hit the season's highest scoring mark as Jones, Hatcher, and McLendon led a 76-62 rout of Cohn. After breezing by Cumberland, the Burros met Dupont again in the N. l. L. Game of the Year with the league lead at stake. ln one of the greatest team efforts ever seen Hillsboro pulled ahead and then weathered a last quarter rally to take a 54-5l decision. McLendon with T6 and Hatcher and Caldwell with l5 and T2 paced the Burro scoring as McLendon ripped the Bulldog defense to shreds. Pridemore too was sensational as he per- sonally stopped the Dupont fast break attack. After taking Hendersonville again, Hillsboro was edged by Central 49-48 in an overtime. ln the most stunning upset of the year, the Burros blew a four point lead in the overtime period. The fol- lowing game saw Litton move into an early lead only to be blasted from the floor as McLendon led a surging rally ending in a 54-47 victory. Donelson, Goodlettsville, and the Alumni aided by the teachers went down as the season ended with Caldwell hitting for 30 against Donelson, Their I6-2 record in district competition brought for the Burros the second seeded position in the l9th district tournament at Central, where they were co-favored for the championship with top-seeded Dupont, whom they twice defeated in regular season play. A tough assignment faced the cagers as they attempted to surpass the great tournament record of the '52 club. VARSITY Front row CAPTAIN DON JONES, HARRY BRLINSON, JOHN MELEN.

In the district opener at Central the Burros caught fire in the third quarter to blast Cumberland from the tourney 63-38 as Caldwell hit for 20 and Jones for l8. The following night a keyed up Hillsboro team trounced their iinx opponents Central in the semifinals, 44-35 as Jones led the deliberate, well balanced offense with l3. ln the finals for the third consecutive year arch rival DuPont loomed as the opponent. The Bulldogs, demonstrating the deadliest shooting Hillsboro faced all season, piled up a tremendous early lead and then held on to win a convincing 60-43 victory. Jones was high scorer for the runnerup Burros with l3, which along with his other two fine performances earned him a position on the all-tournament team. The following week the scene shifted to Lipscomb and the battle for the state tournament berths began. The Burros rolled over Coopertown in their first engagement 50-37 as Hatcher and Caldwell led the attack with T9 and T8 points respectively. This victory brought the Burros to the semifinals, when they faced East. While their slow down tactics completely baffled the fast break Eagle offense, the gang in green and gold hit from all angles to roll to a 57-42 victory. Once again Jones led the Burro offense with l8 and along with Hatcher and Caldwell completely dominated the boards. For the second straight week the Burros faced DuPont with a tourney championship at stake. Stunning even their most loyal supporters, the courageous Hillsboro team blasted the amazed Bulldogs 69-54 to take the Regional crown in their greatest effort of the year. Dupont was never in the game as the Burros took an early lead and in- creased it as the game progressed. Jones paced the brilliant team effort with l9 points, while Hatcher and Pridemore, who played his finest game of the year, threw in with T5 and l4 respectively. Mc- Lendon repeatedly wrecked the heralded Dupont defense and wound up with l2- Jones, Hatcher, and Pridemore were named to the all-tournament team and Jones was further honored as the outstanding player of the tournament. Representing Region V as the champions the Burros left for Johnson City and the State Tournament. However, they did not leave alone. Showing the spirit that has made Hillsboro the great school it is, almost 400 students made the trip. The unwavering support given our team by the student body at the tournament is something of which Hillsboro can always be proud. ln the opening round the Burros took an early lead and maintained it to gain a 55-46 victory over Bluff City as Caldwell threw in 22. After a day's rest Hillsboro routed the tourney favorite, Bradley County, 54-42 as Hatcher played the finest game of his career in stopping Bradley's 6'5 center, while tossing in l3 points and leading the rebounding. Jones led the scoring with l7 and McLendon hit for l3 as the District lll champs were routed. The following night in the semifinals a tired Burro squad was defeated 54-5l by Memphis Central in a thrilling battle. Hills- boro, noticeably worn out from their gruel- ling schedule, fell behind by ten points late in the fourth quarter, however a brilliant comeback in the last three minutes almost saved the game. Jones and Hatcher scored T4 each to lead the Burros in defeat. The following night Elizabethton bounced Hillsboro 53-44 in the consolation game, giving the Burros the fourth place trophy in the state. Jones and Hatcher were both named to the all state tournament team as a great season came to a close with an overall record of thirty wins and six defeats. gadkefdaff Sefecliiomt After the excitement of winning that first Dupont game at Central, this happy group of cheerleaders was no longer able to stand and yell, but they were still plenty happy. Seen working hard at all the basketball games keeping the books in order was Anne Farmer. Helping her and also watching the game with eagle eyes were two of our coaches, Garland Russell and Hale Harris. As an added feature this year for the last seasonal basketball game, there was an exciting con- test between the men teachers and the varsity. Here the starting faculty members review the strategy they are to use. We 'll nal' forage! BASEBALL GAMES Baseball season finally rolled around and started of? spring with a bang. A group of blueieaned spec- tators seem to be enioy- ing themselves immensly, THE HOMECOMING PARADE Lucy Tritschler, Alice Fer- guson, Betty Jean Lauder- dale and Ann Bennett hold high the green and gold Flag of Hillsboro as they go down Hillsboro Road. THE YELLOW BUSES Around 3:30 each after- noon quite a crowd col- lects around the big yellow school busses. The boys playing basketball on the tennis courts and even those sleeping in study hall stop all else to concen- trate entirely on going home. I 953 ENN S BRUNSON srookis PARKER JOHNS CALDWELL GRAHAM The i953 tennis team is the most experienced in the history of Hillsboro. The squad, which usually lacks practice space, has had the Belmont courts available for its use this year. After about two weeks in a playoff tournament, Bob Johns and Jerry Caldwell placed number one and two man on the team. This is Bob's third year on the team and his second year as number one man. For Jerry, this is his first year, but with his skill and capability, he is a driving force for the squad. The other racketeers who won their position on the team are: Harry Brunson, Jimmy Stooke, Billy Parker, and Otis Graham. All of the positions are filled by seniors except the number four man, Jimmy Stooke, who is a fresh- man. The '53 team has its eyes on the city-championship crown, and with the defeat of Cohn and M. B. A., this dream will come true. These two teams are the only squads standing in the path of a championship for the Burros. With lots of luck in your racket season, the T953 Hillsburro salutes you, the Tennis Squad. With three returning lettermen Bill Brauch, David Stooke, and Roger Cohn and Dan McGugin composing this year's foursome, the experienced Hillsboro Iinksmen loom as the league darkhorse in the N. l. L. golf campaign. However, the team will have to take up the slack left by Jim Pearre, last year's number one man and winner of the individual tournament championship, if they are to challenge for the league title. Playing at the Shelby course for the first time in several years, the Burros showed their potential strength in upsetting defending champion M. B. A. 4-2 in their opening match. Brauch, Stooke, and McGugin defeated their surprised Maroon opponents as the team established itself as a leading contender. Early indications seem to show that the change from McCabe to Shelby by league officials will cause higher overall scores this year. However, the Burro team has maintained approximately the same score as last year in early season play and they promise to improve as the season progresses. Good luck to the '53 Golf Team. llllLF David Stooke lines up a putt under the careful observation of captain Bill Brauch. Captain Brauch practices his favo- rite winter sport.

Captain Jimmy Mathis led the team's scoring for the season and was especially hot during the state tournament where he averaged over 20 points a game. The rest of the starting lineup was composed of forward Roger Blackwood, center Louis Patton, and guards Riley Short and Gene Hensley. John Thrower, Curtis Ballenger, and Bobby Kleiser completed the squad. The Burros Hi-Y defeated the following: East ........ Goodlettsville. . . . Howard ...... . . . M.B.A.... Litton. . . .

The winners were unscored upon in the entire tournament. Temporary goals were set up on some old tennis courts where many a rowdy basketball battle was carried on. The hockey field served as the softball diamond, J 1 ll and this spring sport closed out the year's intra- mural action. A Hillsboro's three bowling teams, Wynn's Winners , Fire- bugs , and the Burros came out in that order in the league play at the Melrose bowling alleys. These teams bowled twice a week in a league which included many of the area's schools. ln the American Junior Bowling Tournament at Melrose, Wynn's Winners carried off the third place honors.

The basketball season opened a little differently this year, with the girls playing their first game with Donelson on the Central court. Our new Belmont home did not offer enough time to practice so they had to go out looking for a gym to practice their plays . After searching for a few days, Miss Weis found that there were very few gyms in Nashville available for practice. Finally, at about mid-season the team settled down on their home court at Central and during the Christmas Holidays they got in about a week's good practice, which payed off in wins. After Christmas, the Burros really put their hearts into making their team tops. This resulted in many more wins than losses. To climax the season of regular games the strong Ellijay Georgia team came up to challenge the much improved Burros. With a surge of new found energy, sparked on by the brand new gold uniforms, the girls went out on the floor and showed the team from Georgia how to play the game in real style. As the tournaments began, Hillsboro defeated their first rival, Antioch, in a game that out-shown any previous game during the whole year. In a surprise upset the Burros dumped second-seeded .loelton in their second tournament game. The Burro's march was stopped in the semi-finals by Central's sextet. EDJ HQ?

Bolstered by the return of numerous veterans of previous seasons and summer league play plus the addition of a new coach, Garland Russell, the Baseburros should be one of the strong contenders for the N. l. L. baseball title. Transfer outfielders Ben Pridemore and Faxon Elliott have added strength to a star-studded team which in- cludes returning letterman Don Farrar, Wilburn Smith, Jerry Caldwell, Don Pemberton, Harry Brunson, and Don Jones. Pemberton, spark plug shortstop, and pitcher Jones have been elected captain and alternative captain, re- spectively. Ironman Farrar, who pitched every inning of every game last year, will again lead the pitching staff, but this year he will have plenty of help from John Thrower and Jones. Brunson is back to handle the catching duties. Bennett Singleton, along with Caldwell, Pemberton, and Jones, completes the infield. ln the outer gardens, Smith will be flanked by Pridemore and either Elliot or Nicky Coutras. Under the fine leadership of Coach Russell, this team should go far toward winning the state championship.
