The building itself, when cornpgred to the more imposing structures surrounding it, may seem unimportant, but the in- fluence of this school on the life of our 4, 4- 6 , - itil community, our stgte, ond even our nd- tion cgnnot be dwcxrfed. Although the school is on irnportdnt foctor in our lives, We don't Wolnt you to think thot We spend dll our time there. Quite the controryl Look ot the pictures to the right and to the left ctnd you'll see some of our fctvorite hong- outs-the ldkes, where the dvergge fish is eighteen inches long ond there ore ten fish in the average day's catch, the mountains, which are well patrolled by hikers on sunny days and better pa- trolled by Wolves on moonlit nights, Bathhouse Row, to which our football players go tor massages and past which our band leads an average ot eleven parades each year, the steps in front of the school, where We ex- change all the latest news, and the halls, where steadies have their spe- cial spots. You musn't think that We are in- terested only in studying and in hav- ing a good time. During this year ot War, patriotic activities have taken an important place in our daily lives. This spirit of study, play, and work is sym- bolized by the center picture on the left -our school and our tlag. eclllcatlon MVN' I ln our school we have a teacher to Whom all ot us-juniors, seniors, and even timid sophomores-go tor advice, understanding, and sympathy. ln grateful appreciation ot her aid in times of trouble, her companionship in times ot fun, and her keen sense of humor at all times we take great pride in dedicating The Old Gold Book ot 1944 to Molly -Miss Eliza- beth Sloan.

Any period of the day boys and girls may be seen knitting together on brightly colored squares. Miss Clifton, where in the World does this book belong-This Is Your War by Ernie Pyle? Miss Clifton, do you think I ought to re- arrange the books in the current love section again? They seem to be so mixed up, much more so than all the other books. I-Im, I won- der why? It's Miss Clifton and her library assistants at the U. S. O., classifying and arranging books. They've done over three hundred this semester. Keep up the good Work, gals.

This time it's not the camera at work: it's Elizabeth Breitenberg and her committee collecting money for the Bed Cross in all the theaters. Every afternoon and night for a week these girls made the shows their hang-outs and by doing so collected sev- eral hundred dollars. Since the boys in the Army and Navy hospitals can't have their own glamour gals on their laps, they'll just have to be content to have lapboards on which they may at least write to them. Forty of these boards were made by ten boys. Mr. Wilhite ought to put gold stars by their names. What do you think, fellows? Look at those curves. Oh, boy! How slender, how graceful! What am I talking about? The canes of course, those we made in manual training class for the limping boys- or haven't you heard? Billy Harper, Guy Hays, LAP BOARDS BRING ENIOYMENT to many boys at the hospitals. Oran Lynch, Mr. Wilhite, I. D. Burch, Phil Sims mons, and Iimmie Tucker display some that they have completed. t . A E 0 0 and others of us have been working like eager beavers to finish our quota of canes by the time school is out. Stunning? That's not the word for it. The hundred utility bags made by our girls are a sight not to be missed. Fellows, if you want to be sure of a good wife, just look around and inspect some of those utility bags the girls have made. You can't go wrong with a gal who can sew like that. A couple of prize catches would be Lela Beth Fisher and Vera Lu Melton, co-chairmen of this committee.

Lick your way to Victory is the slogan of our bargain counter for future security. Stamps and bonds are sold daily by members oi the National Honor Society. Helyn Person, chairman, gives the tollow- ing recipe to be used for blood donations: Take one healthy victim. Feed well an hour in advance. Take one arm, holding tenderly. Gently wrap a blood pressure strap around the upper arm. Squeeze vigorously. lniect one small needle, about size ot match head. Push into vein gently until noise is heard from victim. Take needle out and wait for rise of novocain. When novocain has risen to about size of marshmallow, inject another needle. Now watch the blood run.

The production phase of the war Work in our school is supervised by the Iunior Red Cross Council. Officers of the group are Bobby Thornton, president Cfirst semesterD, Madeline Lockwood, president Csecond semes- terlg Bobbie lean Iohnson, secretary: and Eliza- beth Breitenberg, treasurer. This council doesn't actually do all the War Work but appoints chairmen to supervise it. These chairmen in turn secure the cooperation of the entire student body in all the activities which are helping to shorten the war. Oh, We know what were doing isn't spec- tacularg but together with what thousands of schools like ours are doing it's all going to amount to something.

The three typical students-luan Nash Patsy Miles, and Earl Wheatie Patton-are seen first in English class. Wheatie sneaks into the room as the echo of the tardy bell fades away. l-le is given a White taclcet. Patsy crams tor the usual vocabulary test. During the next class our students delve into that mysterious branch oi mathematics -algebra. While the other pupils watch fasi- nated, Patsy, luan, and Wheatie trace on the board the complicated adventures of Messrs. X and Y. Having reached the amazing con- clusion that Mr. X travels at the rate of eleven and twenty-four hundredths miles per hour Whenever Mr. Y puts five hundred seventy- eight bushels of corn into a silo eight feet in diameter, they leave algebra in triumph and are pushed along to assembly. There are the usual announcements, a FDIC-gram Cperhaps a playl, more announce- FD t ' ' ' en s, and then dismissal to third period. PCflSY, luan, and Wheatie climb the stairs to the fourth floor and t yping class, Where they sit down and peck away indus' triously. Their concentration seems remarkable when one considers the time of day and the tempting aromas that flot up from hte cafeteria. Finally the hour is over, and the students rush down the stairs in search of food. After a delicious lunch Wheatie watches luan and Patsy give shiny noses a final pat be- fore the bell Warns that fourth period has come. The day is not exactly typical in this chem- istry class, where, instead of reciting from the book, students experiment in the laboratory. The experiments prove reasonably successful. At least no serious mistakes occur, and one hour later the building is still standing. During the fifth period our trio attends civics class. Wheatie reports the latest political moves in Washington, and a heated discussion develops. The library is a place for study, Miss Clifton reminds as the three file into senior study room for the last period. Wheatie gets out his books and settles down to serious study. Why, Wheatie, we know she said study, but don't you think she meant academic sub- jects? Leaving the library an hour later, luan and Patsy join six hundred other students in the usual struggle with lockers While Wheatie joins the rest for fifteen minutes in seventh period. Then, homeward bound, our typical students Walk through the halls, proud to be part of a wonderful organization-our school. PAGE 19 Period IV-Chemistry. Period V-Civics. Period VI-Library. Clawiui Most of our time is spent in classrooms- six hours a day, specifically. So perhaps you'd like to hear more about some of our class activities-what we study and why and how. While the soldiers of America are tight- ing to protect a progressive, enlightened coun- try, we are studying to assure its remaining that way. Let us show you how the English depart- ment is helping. As taught by Mrs. Una Mc- Crory, Miss Elizabeth Sloan, Miss Louise More- head, and Miss Anna Roberts, English is not rust the simple study ot parts ot speech, diae ,qrfxtttf ttf gl :'Tf'Ll?lifT stiuittgre, l.'fl.51t we learn li is f t,':i'1y ' 'ie English includes read- ' 1 1 A ' will The -ESSZVJ, Sftfllij- A.-itlisli ' .Atf e collett '15 '-'rt1.3:ifilcgy if were are HUXTIQTY DISCUSSING THE DESIRABILITY of a student council are Raymond Lawson, Bobbie lean lohnson, Arthur Ray, Vir- ginia Outlaw, Walter Sanders, and Lula Pappas.

Then there is expository writing with its insistent demand for more flexible vocabular- ies-the despair of most pupils. ln the foreign language field Mr. R, E. Walker-un maestra muy bueno-reigns alone. His three Latin classes and three Spanish class- es keep him busy. Latin consists chiefly of vocabulary study and translation oi Roman myths and histories. Spanish includes infor- mation about our good neighbors, Mexico and South America-Pan-Americanism, you know. The second-year class, who supposedly read and speak the language with comparative flu- ency, subscribe for a Spanish newspaper and also correspond with a New Mexico high-school student. EASE LC ln the scientific field we are usually first introduced to biology, the study of plant and animal life, which explains the why's and wherefores of nature and methods of coping with its problems. Under Mrs. jesse Con- nell's alert supervision we apply our newly-ac- quired knowledge practically in the everyday world. Chemistry and physics are Mr. B. C. Gwinn's domain. Chemistry is a study of the properties of chemicals. We spend most of our time experimenting on major and minor scales -with sometimes major damages. Physics has five main divisions-mecharv ics, light, sound, electricity, and heat. lt teaches how various machines and instru- ments work and how We can get the best re- INTERCEPTING A SHORT-WAVE MESSAGE in aeronatics class, lohnnie Bryant and Charlie Bob Goslee ignore Bev- erly Shuman's signaling.

Students of aeronautics investigate the basic facts about flying-for example, at what rate of speed a plane can fly against the wind for a specified distance. They also learn the Morse code-semaphore and wigwag. ln the realm of mathematics Mr. O. P. Wilhite and Mr. T. E. Forrest valiantly strive to impress upon their pupils the difference be- tween a triangle and a parallelogram. Practi- cal math, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry now deal with down-to-earth problems. Mr. Raymond Clinton's auto mechanics class does just what the name implies-studies the parts of the modern automobile. The boys try out their knowledge by tearing cars apart and putting them together again. BlOLOGY SPECIMENS seems to fascinate Catharine Arm- strong and Betty Meadows. EXPERIMENT NOT SUCCESSFUL, reports Betty Petrarca and Steve Pfeiffer after trying to blow up the chemistry lab. 1 785. skwq- 1 PAGE 21 --5 . ,t .X ,W I ,,.,,,:i'5,--if Qt f fr f Q t .4 , 7' 4-i t E7 ' NVLV I , , Z' Mg f WHAT IS THE OUICKEST WAY to a man's heart? Vir- ginia Parker, Dorothy Emerson, Carolyn Wheatley, Leora Cary, and Virginia Scott ought to know. NOT WHAT YOU DO but the way you do is the important tact in sewing-so Georgia Fay Rogers, Inez Radford, and Marie Buttrum found out. PRINTING-THE VOICE OF THE SCHOOL-is put into type by Wallace Taylor, Andy Iett, Bobby Mann, and Herman Howell. lUST NAME IT, WE'LL MAKE IT, say Richard Stauder, Norman Westerman, I. D. Burch, I. B. Will, Bob Maus, and Wilson Brown-manual training students. We have a number of vocational subjects. Home economics is one. This includes two sep- arate units, sewing and cooking. The former ranges from complication to simplicityg that is the girls are taught to add to and replenish their own wardrobes, even though the first at- tempts may be guite unprententious, Style shows, which stimulate interest, are given at intervals for the student body. As to the culi- nary ability of this department, the report is that it's practically unlimited. We have first- hand information from Mrs. W. W. Turner, the instructor, and confirmation from other faculty members who have been their guests that the girls can prepare a meal in good order-and with due ceremony, too. The printing room is one place that's near- ly always rushed. The students here have a host of things to dog for one thing, they print the Torchlight, our school paper. They also print tickets and posters for class plays, con- certs, dances, book reviews, and anything else calling for publicity, print report cards for all the city schools: and make illustrated booklets and teachers' manuals. Wood shop, taught by Mr. Wilhite, is sim- ply carpentryeee cabinet building, for example. PAGE 22 It has to do in general with furniture construc- tion and design. The commercial department is always busy, too. The typing room is crowded during most classe, for a majority of us manage to most classes for a majority of us manage to graduating. ln the study of this course we learn the fundamentals of letter writing, the correct form for setting up a manuscript, tabu- lation, the art of stencil cutting, and sucl' things. Time tests are given ever so often to determine the rate of speed at which we can type. That's when most of us learn how dis- astrous a single error can be and that, conse- quently, it pays to be cautious. Shorthand is a two-year course, the first year including mainly the learning of brief forms and special business phrases. At the end of two years every student should have reached a minimum of one hundred words a minute in taking dictation: some attain a high- er average. At any rate, it's said that practice makes perfect: and there is always plenty of that. The third division of this department is the office practice class, highly recommended for anyone interested in a secretarial career. In a short semester or two he can learn much that will be useful later. For practical experi- ence the student does such things as typing and alphabetizing the census of the public schools and mimeographing tests for faculty members. DISCUSSING SUPER-SALESMANSHIP are Miss Shoffauser, Teresa Radwell, Mr. Massey, Marie Ann Howard, Virginia McCrory, Betty Lou Smith, Ioe Poe, Betty Miles, and Doris Nichols. Bookkeeping is another subject included in this department. ln this course we learn to distinguish between debits and credits and to recognize assets, liabilities, and proprietor- ships. We also learn to make entries in dif- ferent kinds of journals, to make abstracts of accounts receivable and accounts payable, to make work sheets and balance sheets, and to make ct post-closing trial balance. Many students of this department contri- bute to the war work by addressing envelopes for the Red Cross, typing for the Community Chest, and investigating and reporting ceiling prices of stores for the Office of Price Admini- stration. SPEED DEMONS IN THE MAKING are lane Dwiggins, Mima McCrary, and Katherine Bevill. PAGE 23 ,,N Y 5 in History is a subject most people iump to conclusions about, and the conclusions are us- ually the same-that it's a not too inspiring matter of remembering dates, wars, conquer- ors, and conquered. That isn't the general idea anymore. We still study the past, but for a very practical reason-that we may apply our knowledge of it to the problems that confront us today. We have present as well as past history, and it's the former that we're concen- trating on tor the most part these days. We put a lot ot emphasis on classroom discussions, in which everyone may express his own opin- ions and viewpoints. Some ot the history classes subscribe to a current news magazine and devote one day a week to its contents. As a supplement to the textbook, some classes use map books. Assignments are made in these frequently, and from such work comes a broader knowledge of places prominent in the war. Civics is a related subject. lt's the study ot our American governmente-how it's set up and how it works and what are the best pol- icies lor keeping it running smoothly in the fu- ture. l-lere we talk about everything from postwar plans to the racial situation. Qi course, l X llwk Cleve T 1 PAGE 24 .fl 'A IN THIS AMERICAN HIS- TORY CLASS lrene Porter is the teacher of the mo- WMM ment we never reach a unanimous decision regard- ing the latter. But it's not for us to decide the problem yet, is it? Mr. Sidney Massey expounds the mystere ies ot economic geography. This takes in culti- vation of the soil and the means ot using its resources to our advantage, products, imports, and exports of the United States and other countriesg and facts about the conditions ot the principal cities ot the world. Mechanical drawing is taught by Mr. O. P. Wilhite. Some of its phases are the use of drawing instruments, geometrical constructions lettering, and pictorial drawing. 4'-s I ,sv- THE LTBRARY-just any period , of the Clay. This is the library. Note the numerous heads bent so studiously over books and note- books. Look before they move. The girls who supervise at the desk each period of the day are selected by Miss Mary Clifton, librarian, to assist in charging books KEEPlNG ORDER in the library throughout the morning hours . are Celia Baber, Betty Petrarca, Lula Pappas Beatrice Kemp if Louise Bourgeois, Emogene Gun- ter, Betty Miles, and Virginia McCrory. iizxvg and helping pupils find what they need. The boys who dash in and out with equipment are the motion-picture operators for the audio-visual education program. Miss Clifton superintends the arrangements. The seniors have a separate room where they can study without being distracted by noisy underclassmen, however, We sometimes wonder if it isn't perhaps the juniors and the sophomores who benefit by the arrangement. The books in the library range from fiction to nonfiction, past to future, and formality to in- formality. Fortunately, all the books do not Contribute mere scholastic information, therefore our choice of reading material may be seri- ous and sober volume of interminable length or a short frivolous book designed only for pleasure. Theres nothing like variety in a library! LIBRARY WCRK is handled very nicely in the afternoon by Mary Ann Carpenter, Betty Anne Burrough, Ruth Keith, lrving Panzer, Laura Alice Wilson, Mary Ann Hood, and Leona Colburn. PAGE 25 And this is the office-a place to be shun- ned when we have guilty consciences Cnot that any of us ever doD and a place that holds no terrors otherwise! There is usually a subdued hum of activity here, for the entire student body is in and out all day long for some reason or other. Anyone is at liberty to consult Mr. Lewis Mahoney, our principal, either individually or with groups, about any problem or situation that may arise, therefore it isn't surprising that he hasn't a noticeable amount of spare time. Mrs. Gertrude Brazil, the registrar, also in great demand, does everything from reserving audi- torium seats for plays to inquiring into the al- ways plausible reasons why students wish to sign out. Several capable pupils stay in the office during their study periods, helping with the work, of which, as we implied before, there is a superfluity. These pupils take announce- ments to the classrooms, collect the absentee slips, answer the telephone Cwhich seems to have a permanent ringl, type, and act as gen- eral informants to anyone needing assistance.

Mr. Harry Lock- L hart is directorg Tommy Ellsworth, captain. Music in wartime is considered one of the most important tac- tors in sustaining morale. Music will make fighting men fiqhl X3 better and noncombatants want to tight. Our school band has tried to bring music closer to the people of l-lot Springs and to the service men stationed here. The band gave concerts tor War benefits, the Red Cross concert in February being just one of CI A series. Another concert given on the Arlington lawn was not a t benetit but simply the band boys' way of doing everything they 9 g . - ' , F, jd it tiff? ,f if 7 can in the tight for freedom. Let one of the band boys relate to you in his own words one isa ci the most impressive scenes that the band has witnessed or l'7PCL4x PAGE 32 participated in: One Sunday morning at seven-fifteen the band assembled in front of our school. We were to go to the station to play for a hospital troop train due that morning. The ranks were full, and the fellows never looked better in the Black and Gold of our school. At seven-thirty we , marched down to the station, only to be told that the train was late. When the train finally puffed in at nine-thirty, we played lively marches while the doctors and nurses took the wounded off. All these men had come straight from the front-some with just one leg, one arm, or one eye, some in better conditiong others worse, much worse. They hadn't ex- pected to be welcomed at all, much less by a band. Many thought they weren't wanted, that they were burdens. l believe that I saw some quicken their slow walk just a little or maybe just a twinkle come in a young private's eye as the orderlies lifted him down. l shall never forget that morning and General Goldthwaite's remark, You'll never know how much this welcome means to these boysf l ,gi .L 1 i T ' Y ' 37. ,ff YT , an I ni? ww '4 M W. 2 ft jg' 5' 4. 7,1 S 1 .VJ OUR PRETTY MAIORETTES, Clara Louise Discole and juan Nash, kneel at Drum Major Theodore Fotioo's feet.

There were other special occasions for the band-not so impressive perhaps, but impor- tant. There were parades, football games, as- semblies, and band clinics. Strike up the band, boys! Let's have music. PAGE 33 ily Clilancll The Music Club was organized to promote the enjoyment of classical music. Although it's made up of fifteen musicians, it's open to anyone who wants to join. So far, however, all of our students haven't been converted to classical music. Mr. Harry Lockhart and Miss Gladys Cum- mings are the club's sponsors, and meetings are held every other Monday at the homes of President Beverly King, lanice Bloom, and MUSIC HATH ITS CHARMS for such Music Club membe Jluxillianiela The Casa Nova Orchestra un- der the direction of Mr. Harry Lockhart was organized with twelve members late in the year. The orchestra proved popular with the students at dances and other school func- tions, and twice the group plqy. ed for dances given by the WACs of the Army and Navy Hospital. Tunes that the group played were hit-parade and old-time favorites, jump tunes featured. The special soloist was Leonard Bolton. GLENN MILLER CAN'T COMPARE with the Casa Novas.

Some of the favorite records are Rhapsody in Blue, Overture to Romeo and j'uliet, Incredible Flutistf' violin solos by Fritz Kreisler, Strauss and Chopin waltzes, and fighting songs of the Red Army. This music is really a contrast to the swing that's as popular in our school as in any other average high school. rs as Caroline Wootten, Melba Hunter, Doris Green, Beverly King, luanita Tisdale, Harry Lockhart, Miss Gladys Cummings, and Grace Munson. lIIll5fi.f,ftf?5 i an-A PAGE 34 YE SHALL FIND THE BABE wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger -a tableau in the Christmas Candlelight Service.

V' The vocational department furnishes only one scene in an act of Our School. Each pupil in the department plays two important roles, one in his school and the other in his com- munity. Mr. Sidney Massey, the director, nev- er ceases in his efforts to assist these players in acting their parts well. Only those pupils about to enter the eleventh grade can qualify for places in the vocational scene. However, the boy or girl who does qualify is rendering a real service to his school and to himself, for he can combine participation in school activi- ties and preparation for his future job. His be- ing able to step in when there is a shortage of manpower is a great help to the war effort. Many advantages are offered to the stu- dent. After experimenting, he can decide whe- ther or not he is qualified for or interested in a certain occupation. He learns to cope with various responsibilities while gaining experi- ences and an education. Each student receives individual instruction from the teacher where- as he would have received little if any. He learns the advantages of budgeting, which en- ables him to prepare for a securer future. ln working with his townsmen and his fellow stu- dents, each vocational student learns to co- operate and to accept advice. One of the main advantages to the individual is the firsthand information he receives instead of artificial hearsay. This department keeps in school many boys and girls who would otherwise have left school for downtown work. There are various fields of employment represented by the students in the class. The salesworker, the office worker, the window dresser, and the sewing apprentice are all represented. The vocational class formed the Vocation- al Club, which arranged various social activi- ties during the year-Weiner roasts, hikes, hay rides, a Christmas party, and a masquerade party. The climax of the social events was an employermemployee banquet, at which the senior members are honored. For the first se- mester the club officers were president, Bill Piper: vice president, Emma lo Bales, secretary, Vivian Love, and treasurer, Holly Deathrage Black. The officers for the second semester were president, Bernard Eantusg vice president, Maxine Shackelford, secretary, Albert Hartley: and treasurer, Holly Deathrage Black.

'P 1 .4 Ab An important step in the production of a play is the publicity. The publicity for this play comes through the Torchlight, our high- school newspaper. Sports, organizations, as- semblies, expressions of opinion-all have to be written up along with all the other every- day happenings in our school. The Torchlight boosts war activities. Each edition runs a column specifically for boys ot H. S. H. S. now serving in the armed forces. That column is called Bits From Our Boys and is composed of small portions of letters from our servicemen. Over 120 issues of each edition are sent out to these boys, thirty-three of whom are overseas. More publicity! These are practically bywords to the laboring journalists, who realize that the final comments must come from them. Efhe CO-EDITORS OF THE TORCHLIGHT are ldalou I-lull and Frances William- SOD. Then comes the excitement so true of news- paper work on the day the Torchlight comes out. There are the last few stories to be cover- ed, typed, and turned over to the printers: the final proofing to be done, corrections to be made. Then at last with a thunderous rumbling, the papers, completed, flow out the mouth of the press. There must be at least fifteen hun- dred of them each time an edition comes out. Every member of the staff is by that time cov- ered with black smudges from the print as he frantically folds copies for the student body and rolls up many others for exchange. Of course there's always a desperate struggle, but each time the publicity agents accomplish their task, and the Torchlight emerges again to carry far and near the average occurrences that may happen in any American high school!

The members of the staff of The Old Gold Book are the backstage crew of Our School- workers who know the fault of the production as well as its triumphs, its major climax as well as its most insignificant feature. These same workers-sometimes behind scenes, sometimes on the stage-helped unwind the plot until at last the Curtain fell to the tune of a grand finale and roaring applause. They're the ones who had the task of compiling the material- lots of it-and capturing it in just the right setting. lt's a normal production staff, you see. lt has efficient editors, critical artists, scheming business managers, helpful advisers, discrim- inating journalists, and bustling photographers -each determined to make the play a success and, therefore, keeping a suspicious eye on the others because, as one staff member put it: They can change the whole annual in five minutes! They do it all the time. And here you have it all-boy dates girl, football games, chocolate sodas, our intelli- gentsia-caught in the riot and hilarity of true high-school life and captured in a book, the memorial of an unforgettable entertainment.

Sometimes we pool our dates and go on a moonlight hike and Weiner roast-- 'XIX 0 0 ww lf -'I f i A , I ' ' f Q I ' . ' not that there's always a moon, though. After fishing the weiners out of the tire and covering ourselves with mustard, we eat. Then everyone realizes the meaning of real fun. Oh, l almost forgot to mention the hay- rides, Ten couples are piled into a space meant for ten people, but that's what makes it lun l guess. Naturally there's not much hay, but there's a lot of laugh- ter. Well, here they are-the typical dates. They're not soul-stirring, not dull-just typical. Everyone bowls nowadays. ln tact a bowling alley is almost as popular as a show. Bud Canada is teaching Patty Glazner how. Almost all dates siart in the parlor. This one is no different except that it looks as though this one's going to stay in the parlor. Carolyn and Charles are the beaming twosome. PAGE 51 A ,. 9 , fa--4, ff!!

At least they were lots better than having typhoid fever. Even if the nurse did seem to stick that needle in about two feet, somehow just a few weaklings fainted. Leona Coburn is one of the braver souls who watched Mrs. Sel- lers, the health nurse, give the shot. FINAL EXAMS People study most of the time in study hall, but at least twice a year the books are stacked on the tables and actually de- voured. With two final exams in one day though, what else can be expected from a bunch of seniors? Yes, the reference books, dictionaries, and even those notes that they took down at the first of the se- mester and forgot about are put to use. lt's funny how some students loaf all se- mester, then expect to learn everything in one hour. Of course there is always some bright soul who by cramminq learns a little something for keeps, but most of the dopes cram and cram with only a nice headache as a reward. Bless- ed ts the scholar who has studied all se- mester and now needs only to review. REPORT CARDS C. I., Dorothy lo, and Kaybo are evi- dently some of those poor dopes who crammed and crammed and now have only a headache. From the looks of things, C. I. must have more than just a headache and is trying to end it all with a lap knifel CARNIVAL DANCE We're still talking about that Carnival Dance,which the Annual staff sponsored. The highlight of the evening came when Carol Neil Thornton emerged from the Kissing Booth and en- tered the litterbug Contest with George Collier-the other contestants quit. FCOTBALL BANQUET Yells, talks, presentations, an all-girl orchestra, and super food-all these were included in the football banquet at Club Belvedere. The football boys, band boys, and cheer leaders were the guests of various civic clubs and civic-minded individuals. FOOTBALL AWARDS Aren't the football boys handsome in their new jackets, a little self-conscious perhaps but still good- looking! The awards-jackets, blankets, and golf footballs- have just been made in assembly. Coach Creighton managed to get the jackets before the days grew too hot, but the boys would have worn them even if the thermometer had shown ninety above. PAGE 53 6 XQXKN 09 EY! 23, sg Lf?

We've written down a few techni- cal points about the stadium and field, so here they are. Rix Stadium was built in 1930. It is situated about a mile southeast of the school on the Malvern Highway. lt is bounded on the eastern side by the tracks of the Missouri Pacific Railroad and guard- ed on the left by Rix School itself. Behind the stadium is a large Wooded tract, which forms an impressive background for the scenes of football triumphs which are quite common here at H. S. H. S. ' ,Z As We Walk through the gate, there to our left are the refreshment booths, at which we can satisfy our appetites during the in- termission at the half. Directly ahead are the adult stands, and up there above the seats are the broadcasting booths and press box. Say, Wait a minute, it looks as though the boys have ceased their pre-game warm- up and the sixty-five piece Trojan Band un- der the direction of Mr. Harry Lockhart is getting ready to render a few numbers be- fore the game begins. And down in front of the student section are the cheer leaders, preparing to give their opening yell.

S. in many a year. Frank Bones Neimeyer is captain, and Frances Belle Benton and Wanda Mae White are co-captains. The other mem- bers, lined up there, are Ethelia Ann Camp- bell, Patsy Miles, Betty Mildred Smith, lohn Antonio, Curtis Beam, and Billy Anderson. Hey, look over there across the field- See the fellow with the old Slouch hat pulled down over his ears? That's Smilin' Mi- lan Creighton. You know Creight, don't you? He's been our coach for four years now, and we're simply a-hog-about him. Two weeks before school started, Creighton issued an earnest plea for manpower, but only thirty-three boys answered the call to turn out for practice. Therefore Coach prac- tically had to start from scratch. However, iudging hy the way the winning games pil- ed up, we think he didn't do such a bad job after all. Let me give you a resume of the season. The second week in September found everyone excited over the prospective game with the Catholic High Rockets. Green with inexperience but high in spirits, we entered the game and with little trouble at all defeat- ed the Rockets with a score of twenty-six to six. Coming back after this scintillating per- formance, a highly improved squad of Creightonmen the next Friday night com- pletely tamed the Benton Panthers, with a re- sultant score of thirty-three to nothing. Now placed on the spot as potential champions of the Big l4, the Men of Troy next met last year's champion El Dorado Wildcats. At the start of the game it look- ed as though the Cats were going to be a bunch of tame old tabbies before the game ended. However, injuries tolled heavily in the Trojan ranks, so l'm chagrinned to say we were unable to stop the Cat drive. We dropped our first conference game twenty- seven to six. Well, the following week found a bat- PAGE 58 tered and bruised bunch of fellows going through a series of hard practices in prepa- ration for the tilt with the Little Bock Tigers, our ancient foes- A great number of the Hot Springs student body followed the team to Little Bock, and the Tiger stadium was the scene of a howling, milling, mass of high- school students, yelling at the top of their lungs. Although Bed Bud Canada was out of the game, Smilin' Dean Thornton, third member of the famous Thornton Brother Clan, filled the bill. Even though the War- riors of Troy pulled the Bengals' tails throughout the entire game, the conflict end- ed in a scoreless tie. This game was almost a replica of last year's game. When the boys came home from this struggle, their spirits were rejuvenated by the preparations which were under way for the Homecoming Game with Fordyce. During the following week, queens and maids were selected by the football team and the student body, respectively. Then on Friday afternoon the queens were crown- ed in assembly. That night at the half of the game the grand march was played by the band, while the two queens with their retinue of maids and escorts marched across the field. The two captains came forward and presented flowers Cplus an unrehearsed personal tributel. Then the second half be- gan. lt was decidedly one-sided, the Tro- jans running hog-wild. Patton and Stande- fer showed their stuff by scoring twice each, thus enabling us to emerge victorious on the far end of the score thirty-two to seven. Next we played a crucial game with the powerful North Little Bock Wildcats. There were classy aerial shows on both sides, and the game was nip and tuck all the way- Canada-back in the game after a three-week absence-Worden, and Stande- fer showed up for Ole Alma Mater by run- ning up the score and enabling us to win thirty-eight to fourteen. 'Well up on the list for conference hon- ors, the boys journeyed to Hope the next week to play the mediocre Hope Bobcats. An exciting minute during the Pine Bluff game is this one when the Hof Springs Trojans kicked the goal - PAGE 59 The Homecoming Game with Fordyce was a victorious one for the Trojans. Again the red-headed Irishman ran wild in scoring all five touchdowns, to claim first place in conference scoring honors. Moe Standefer with his educated toe supplied the two extra points, and thus we skinned the Bobcats with a score of thirty-two to seven. After a hard week of harder practice the home team met the conference-leading Pine Bluff Zebras. This team and the Lit- tle Bock Tigers ranks as our chief rivals. The Trojan drivers opened up at full speed and Manager Squat Skrivanos prepares for the long hard trip to Hope. 7 3, i Q31 P:-.cr-: ESO continued at that rate right through the game. The striped mules failed to get start- ed, and Creighton's riders took the kick out of them to tune of thirty-five to thirteen. Earl Wheatie-Baby Patton's dreams came true as he intercepted one of Baldwin's passes and ran forty-one yards to score. Bud Can- ada and Wehunt also sparkled the Trojan steamroller. Another high light of the game with Pine Bluff was the crowning of twin Victory Queens by Brigadier-General Ralph Goldth- waite. The queen contest was sponsored by the Bed Cross with the aid of all the civic clubs. All proceeds of the balloting and half the gate receipts went to the Red Cross. A week after this celebration the team made a trip to Russellville to play what was expected to be just a practice game, but what turned out to be one of the tough- est on the schedule- ln spite of a late rally, we finally were in full control: and when the whistle blew, we had won another vic- tory with a score of twenty-six to eight. By' winning this game, we moved into a tie with the Pine Bluff Zebras for first-place hon- ors in the conference. The next Week was one of anxious wait- iflq and hard practice behind the closed doors of Rix Stadium, which became shroud- ed in a cloak of mystery. Preparations were under Way for the Thanksgiving tilt. Early Thursday morning We made the trip to Fort Smith for the game of games. The Whistle blew, and the Trojans reeled off three first downs without much effort. Then the scene changed. What went wrong The guys enjoy a big meal after the game at Hope. Football Managers Harley Bledsoe, Squat Skrivanos, and Patsy Grim hitch hike to Hix field. is hard to explain. We were out to get a Grizzly skin, but instead our armor was dented by this bear that walks like a man, Canada seemed plagued by bad luck and was stopped every time he attempted to move. The Grizzlies scored at will. Finally the finishing gun blasted an end to a heart- breaking game which we had dropped forty- six to nothing. Here you have it, a story of success, hardship, and losskcharacteristics of this season's games. Hooray for our All-State players-David Rowland, Bud Canada, Kim Worden, and Tom Ashbrook!

For the first time in several years Hot Springs High floored a cage team. Haskell Standefer, guard, was the mainstay of the team. After he graduated, his position was filled by Buck Freeman. Kim Worden, guard and Haskell's running mate, was also a high scorer. Lanky Raymond Lawson, cen- ter, was the tallest man on the team and a whiz on defense. Ott Ray was all over the court on defense. Andy lett, forward, was high-point man in a couple of games. Always ready for action were the re- serves--Dickie Brooks, Rod and Scott Boaz, Wilson Brown, Earl Patton, jimmy McCowan, Nicotine Plymale, and Charles Rainey. The first two games with North Little Rock were lost, since the visitors had more experience and height. The next week at Arkadelphia the Trojans out- classed the Bobcats with big Haskell Standefer scor- ing fourteen points. Before the home rooters the Trojans nosed out Hope in a tight game. Ray, lett, and Worden did most of the scoring. Pine Bluff submitted to the Trojan Five next in a hard-fought game. Haskell Standefer, a midyear graduate, bowed out of basketball in a blaze of glory. ln El Dorado the Trojans dropped two hard- fought games. The Little Rock Tigers also were a little too much for the Hot Springs players. Creighton's quintet lost a double-header at North Little Rock, where Buck Freeman, keeping up Stand- efer's record, scored ten points. El Dorado, whose team averaged over six feet, routed the smaller Trojans, Buck Freeman again be- ing high man with fifteen points. The Trojans ended the season with a double defeat at the hands of Little Rock. In spite of their record of ten losses to five vic- tgfjgg WG feel that the boys had a fairly successful seasoln. Next year watch out for the Trojans!

Coach gives the command, Dress right! One of the programs that the Army has advo- cated for high schools is physical education. The reason for this is plain-that boys of high-school age may have sound bodies to go with sound minds. Cur school introduced physical education as a required subject two years ago. Since then the classes have been very active. Varied sports are played, basketball being the chief one. ln basketball Coach Creighton teaches us the fundamentals of the game and demonstrates the high points. Sometimes the games get tough because of the general enthusiasm. Every now and then a fight may threaten to developg but when it does, we just bring out the gloves and let the dis- putants settle their argument. Calisthenics and mili- tary drill are given about once a week. These are modeled after the Army's method of training. Next to basketball in the favor of the students is softball. This usually doesn't start until the last of April, when the weather becomes more favorable. Down on Franklin Field we all try to knock the balls into the street, but only about one lucky person a day succeeds. When the weather is unfavorable, we usually stay indoors and skip rope, box, and have a general rough time. We get the medicine ball out and see who can take the most direct hits on the shoulders. Sometimes a stray throw from the medi- cine ball will floor an unwary boxer in another part of the gym, but the accident is always purely accidental. The girls in the other Phys. Ed. class are a challenge to the boys, who plan to eat more Wheat- ies to keep up with them. PAGE 66 cP it 131.5 ical Ed ucatlon ft's One, two, one, two--up, down. These girls in fourth period Phys. Ed. are taking no chances with their figures. From twelve-thirty to one-thirty five days a week these thirty-five girls, dressed in shorts that actually deafen us with their screaming colors, get their exercise. Their coach is that tiny little Miss Anna Roberts, better known as Torchy to all the girls in Phys. Ed. Basketball seems to be their favorite game, for when Torchy says they will play something dif- ferent, the P. Gfs CProfessional Gripersl start their usual complaining. They play nine-court basket- ball with two sides, blue and red. Passing the gym door during fourth period, we can hear the girls yelling, Guard her! or, Shoot! The girls' next choice in games is volley ball. In this game they develop their arrn muscles. No one can take advantage of these girls. Soccer, steal-the-bacon, baseball and corner ball are some of the other games they play, They also hike and dance. Fifteen minutes before the bell rings, Torchy stops the playing with the word showers There is a mad scramble up the ladder to the showers with the girls dressing on the way up. Among the singing, laughing, and talking, loud shrill screams are heard because the water is either too cold or too hot. After the showers the girls dress in two minutes and save the last twelve for primping. Of course there are always a few girls who run to fifth period with no make-up and untied shoes. No matter how many bumps and bruises they get, the giflg all agree that Phys. Ed. is one class not to skip. PAGE 67 going to be a basket! 6 SN QQQHS PAGE 68 Acio rs yur' As superintendent, Dr. R. L. Bed- well performs a leading role in our cast with true finesse. His words of helpful counsel are a stimulation to teachers and stu- dents alike. Mr. Lewis H. Mahoney, princif pal, has a very difficult role in Our School, As the position would imply, he has many problems that are present in any average high schoolg and he solves them saga, ciously. When the curtain rings up on the scenes in Our School, Let it find every person in place With a heart that is sweet and a head that is sound And a smile on each cheery face. The fines that We pay for the curtain's delay Are not in the coin of the realm, But in hazards and chances and lost romances Decreed by the Man at the helm. The pay that we get, the applause We receive Are rewards for the services given, Not the bargained dole of a stingy soul By the gods of selfishness driven. The show that we give is the life that We live- We are really not acting at all. fDr. R. L. Bedwell The world is looking to tomorrow with eager hope. A generation which has seen two World wars is apt to say that war is inevitable. Only those whose lives lie largely in the future can have the courage necessary to set their course for a better tomorroW. Only the young have the strength to make the struggle for a world in which their visions of peace and opportunity may come true. The fight for a continuing and permanent peace will have only begun when the blood- shed ceases. It will continue for years. Young people now in the Armed Services and in the schools of the land must meet the challenge. May they face the problems with their feet upon solid earth but with their eyes upon the clouds! -Lewis H. Mahoney PAGE 70 Clilaancll at The cast ot the play Our School is headed bY MT- George P.

Sheppard CROW in the Armyj, manager of the Firestone Supply Company, Mr. I. M. Rowland, l-lot Springs city attorneyg and lVlr. A. C. Fox, superintendent ot meters ot the Arkansas Power and Light Company. These six outstanding business men of Hot Springs make up our school board. As the highest authority in the governing of the schools, the board plays an important part in our school litey and we want to know some- thing about it. Mr. Collier, since you're the president, will you give us some facts concern- ing the board, its officers and duties? Certainly, Mr. Stage Manager. l am great- ly pleased that you students are interested in the management of your school. The other officers of the board for the past year were Mr. Allman, vice-prestdentg Mr. Stone, secre- tary: and Mr. Sheppard, assistant secretary. There was only one standing committee- the athleticp and one member on it-Mr. Row- land. Special committees were appointed whenever needed throughout the year. Cur Education meetings were held on the second Friday ci each month. The annual budget this year tor the thirteen Hot Springs schools, including the high school, was approximately two hundred titty thousand dollars. And now for the boards duties-the school board is to the school system what the board ot directors is to a bank. lts main duties are to elect the teachers, tix their salaries, determine the policies ot the school, and keep the whole school system out of debt. lt sounds like a gigantic task, Mr. Collier. Now one other thingfwhat do you consider the greatest achievement ot the board this year? Well, that question is rather ditticult to answer. The board has been very active in a number ot ways, but l believe that it has made its most conspicuous progress in matters ot ii- nance. l consider the greatest single project to be the sponsoring ot the reassessment of the real and personal property of Garland County. The result was that tormer assessments were increased about one million dollars. This of course means somewhat higher taxes and, consequently, more money that the schools may use for improvements and salaries. Thanks, Mr. Collier. You make us realize how much our wide-awake, active school board means to this school. The board dismisses business long enough to pose lor a picture. Around the tables are Mr. A. C. Fox, Mr. I. M. Rowland, Mr. T. W. Stone, Mr. G. P. Collier, Mr. Guy Robbins, Dr. R. L Bedwell.

She is young, modern, and Very attractive. ln fact she looks very rnuch like Miss Speed. She gets her perfect poise and calm manner from Mr. Massey, her quiet efficiency from Miss Mary Clifton. But you mustn't think of her as being siiffly dignified and extremely reserved. Her eyes have Mrs. McCafferty's merry twinkle. -. She is as ready for a good time as Mr. Gwinn, and she has all of Miss Boberts's and Coach Creighton's popularity with the students. Being rnodern, she is wide-awake and greatly interested in what happens in the school, the city, and the world. She is not only greatly interested but also intelligently in- terested. This characteristic quite definitely comes from Mrs. Connell. Now add to it Mrs. Stall's rare ability to analyze each effect, find a cause and, if it is bad, a cure.

Her classroom is as quiet and well-dis- ciplined as Miss Sullivan's, and as pretty and neat as Mrs. Turner's home economics rooms. ln dealing with the students, she has Mr. Lowe's patience and Miss Alexander's amaz- ing ability to get difficult jobs Well done. She is like Mr. Lockhart in that she knows her sub- iect and has very definite ideas about how things ought to be done. She is as dependable as Mr. Wilhite and as conscientious as Mr. Walker. She has Miss Www .f Morehead's wide experience and ability to in- terest her pupils. Her natural refinement and perfect courtesy are Miss Sloan's contributions. Hers is a courtesy which springs not from a desire to do just the correct thing but from a genuine love of people and a desire to help them. She is like Mrs. McCrory in that when kind, sympathetic, and understanding are used to describe her, they are not trite expressions used lightly but sincere words used in all seriousness. This is our ideal teacher. ln meeting her, you have met all of our teachers, for she is made up of those characteristics by which we students shall remember them. PAGE 73 Q1 .-........,p., at . I E.

Miss Mary Clifton began the year as president but resigned, and Miss Mary Eliza- beth Bryant succeeded her. Monthly meetings were held at the va' rious schools throughout the year. At each meeting the formality of a serious program was followed by the informality of a social gathering while the hostess teachers served light refreshments and the guests discussed everything but school affairs. One evening, early in the school year, the Arlington Hotel was thronged with teachers, .N H dressed-up teachers. The occasion? They were giving a reception to honor our new superinten- dent, Dr. R. L. Bedwell, and Mrs. Bedwell: the members of the board of education and their wives. lt was a gala affair. Our teachers think they pull the wool over our eyes with their dignified pedagogical be- havior at school, but they don't really fool us. We know they are frivclous when they get out from under our supervision, but we guess that a little relaxation won't hurt them, and we really can't spend all our time with them.

Let's open the book to- Hlanuary 28. The midyear graduation took place in the high-school auditorium and was followed by a lovely banquet at lack Tar's. lt was an evening those midyear graduates will never forget. April 7. What a play! What a cast! What a wonderful time we had at the senior class plgY, fgnie! May 4. Was I the lucky one? One of the thirty boys in the senior class happened to ask me for a date for the Senior Prom and the re- ception at Kaybo's. lt was a thrilling moment when we stepped through the hoop for the Grand March. May lO. They'll never live it down-the teachers, l mean. The Faculty Take-Off was a scream, complete with even Mrs. Connell's snake. May 12. Something about Senior 'Will Day gave me the funniest feeling. lt's hard to realize l really am graduating. May 18. The juniors were grand hosts at the junior-Senior Prom and reception at Bet- ty Mildred Smiths SPONSORS: Miss Lois Alexander, Coach Milan S. Creigh- ton, and Miss Anna Roberts. May 20. The University Vifomen enter- tained us with a Cro-to-College Tea. Now l know l want to go to college. May 2l. l just knew l would trip and fall as we walked into church for the Baccalau- reate Service, but somehow l got to my seat. May 22. Beautiful! is the only word l can think of for the Silver Tea at Madeline Lockwoods. May 23. Senior Day and an all-day pic- nic. l acquired a beautiful blister. May 25. After twelve years that night was here. l sat on the very edge of my seat all during the speeches, and when they start- ed giving out the diplomas, I thought they would never get to the M's. When finally they did call out my name, l could hardly keep from running across the platform. After the graduation exercises we all dashed home to change into our formals and then went to the banquet at the Arlington. Someone told me the food was wonderful, but l was so excited l couldn't tell. Those jokes 'Meeker' told were pretty good. And then, the Alma Mater-l never realized it was so beauti- ful. A few tears were shed-the last time we'll all be together. l know l'll never forget one minute of my senior year of high school. COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN: Qforegroundl Patsy Miles, Caro- line Wootten, Madeline Lockwood, juan Nash, Cback- groundj john Young, Tommy Ellsworth, Bobby Thornton. PAGE 83 LN' CRaminlAcencz-:A ! f You know how it is when friends get into a huddle. Somehow we always start talking about things that we've done together. One lit- tle suggestion runs into a whole flood of won- derful memories. The purpose of this page is to help us to remember always some of the lit- tle things that we might other wise forget. REMEMBER . . . the time the top floor of the school was flooded and how much fun every- one had making jokes and cracks tbout it. . . and the time Gooch Goslee thought that Mr. Mahoney was away from school and yelled, Louie, hey, Louie, where are you? Then all of a sudden he felt a tap on his shoulder, and Mr. Mahoney said, Do you want me, Charlie Bob? . . . the day Gene Meek practically ruin- ed Katie Bolton's lock by throwing it on the floor, and every time Katie tried to get her locker open she almost got a ticket to deten- tion hall for making so much racket .... the morning Bobbie lean lohnson pranced into English class wearing Bolivar's pin? REMEMBER .,.. how cute the advertisement of the senior class play was, the players form- ing a chorus line and singing Hlanie' '... and how perfectly darling that little Mary Ella Bled- soe was? Remember the way the photograph- ers for the Annual, Madeline Lockwood and Frances Benton and their helpers, tore around trying to get film and, after getting the film, tore around some more trying to get their pic- tures to come out . . . and the way the Torch- light Staff would break their necks trying to get the Torchlight out on time, without success once when the St. Patrick's Day issue came out a week late . . . and remember how glad we all were that the Torchlight got an Excellence rating? REMEMBER . . . those classes of English sixth period from Mrs. McCrory? She'd send Tom- 'W-4: I 5 my Ellsworth to the library to get twenty Longs literatures. Ten minutes later when Tommy hadn't returned, Wheatie Patton would vol- unteer to go to the rescue, Five minutes lat- er someone else would strike out after them- finally the whole class would be gone. REMEMBER . . . how we griped about the food in the cafeteria-but we ate it. Remember the ialopies that used to rattle to school every day. REMEMBER . . . how the kids used to go around saying, Yeah, that's tough but that's life, or Yep, there's where the rub comes in . . , how Raymond Lawson and Gtt Ray always seemed to be having such a swell elegant time to- gether? Speaking of inseparable companions, remember how Betty Anne and Laura Alice al- ways ran around together .... how Patsy Miles would always say, l'm soooo happy! when she'd get a date with her crush of the moment .... what fun Tom Ashbrook and Ruthie Smith always had together . . . and what a handsome couple Dean Thornton and Louise Bourgeois were? REMEMBER . . . how much fun the girls had in Phys. Ed. class, where everyone tried to see who could pull the meanest trick, such as tying each other's clothes in knots, etc? Remember how the new boys on the football team looked the day after their heads had been shaved by the old players? No wonder Dickie Brooks and Billy Harper wore their caps in school all the time! And who will ever forget Mr. Ma- honey's long announcements in assembly . . . and the general happiness when assembly would run over into third period? REMEMBER . . . that we mustn't forget these little happenings that are so important.
