HEADLINES OF HONAKER HIGH 1950 » 1951 Hear ye! All students interested in drama now have the opportunity to participate in either of the two DRAMATICS CLUBS introduced this year. With the founding of these clubs came the privilege to join two clubs instead of one. HONAKER BASKETBALL FANS lost sleep and cheered till they could hardly talk, but it paid off when our teams came through to win both boys’ and girls’ CHAMPIONSHIP OF RUSSELL COUNTY. Yea team ! More hearts were light and gay when two Honaker students received medals for sportsmanship. These were SYLVIA BARTEE and BUD GENT. Four players made “THE ALL COUNTY TEAM.” They were PATTY WYSOR, BOBBIE VANDYKE, ED DEED, AND PERRY BOYD. A one-act play contest was staged and “WHICH WAY TO BOSTON” represented our school in the district at Marion where it won a SUPERIOR RATING. Our prize speaker, JOYCE WILSON, brought the GIRLS’ PUBLIC SPEAKING TROPHY to Honaker and our Girls’ Prose reader, NANCY ALBERT, also won a FIRST PLACE which entitled her to a trophy for her school. MR. NORMAN SHIPLEY, Honaker’s oldest old bachelor, was mar- ried February 17th to Miss Frances Compton of Richlands. The Juniors are wondering if the old married “grouch” will be as good a sponsor as the “gay bachelor.” One of the most beautiful and impressive events of the year was the CHRISTMAS PAGEANT of the NATIVITY OF CHRIST presented by the elementary grade. The stage scenery and lighting effects were man- aged by the Speech Class. The three TRI-HI-Y CLUBS entertained the deserving mothers of the members with a Mother-Daughter Banquet, March 19th. THE BETA BANQUET was carried off in grand style and dignity as is characteristic of the Betas. The SENIOR BANQUET was a gala affair in the private dining hall at Martha Washington Inn, Abingdon. Each year WILLIAM H. DANFORTH through the DANFORTH FOUNDATION, offers a copy of his book, “I DARE YOU”, to one boy and one girl who graduate in each high school each year. This book is awarded to those persons who present a four-fold development. ANNA RUTH STUMP and MACEL HOLLIDAY were chosen by the high school faculty, a§ the girl and boy most representative of religious, mental, physical and social development during their high school careers. — 13 —
