Page Fifteen HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS About four years ago we were located in the four corners of the Earth, we were about to be graduated to Bessemer High School from Grammar School. We felt very important on entering this large school as Freshmen, but we soon found that we were ignored by our “Superiors”, known as “Seniors.” We were just beginning to get rid of that frightened feeling that comes to every “rat when conditions at Bessemer became so crowded that we were moved to our beautiful new building at Hueytown— Mueytown High School. When we entered this new building we became the proverbial know-it-all “Sophs . Xo more doubts, no more ucstions. We were now directing unfortunate Freshmen. The other diasses, too. received our friendly help and encouragement. we helped them when they stumbled and supportd them whn they wakened. we advised the faculty, and piloted them through many lengthy discussions, meek and courteous vve were, and though our modesty restrains us. we feel it our duty to hint at our help in sustaining this noble institution, our success, truly has been great. During this two and one half years of our life at Hueytown we have not only seen a change in our classmates, but also in the external life of the school itself. Hueytown High School has grown in two and one half brief years from an enrollment of sixty-six to two hundred fifty-six. As we have grown in numbers so have we grown in many other respects. We have a good library which is still growing, and also have made wonderful strides in athletics: we have acquired prominence with our excuses , probably not so much bv their fitness but rather their originality. Classes have come and gone in the past, and no doubt, in the future classes will rise up to call us blessed as they seek the heights scaled by us. Still unanimous. though modest, we realize that no class will ever reach the glittering prominence of the class of twenty-three. Louise Cunningham, ’23. Page Sixteen VALEDICTORY We who stand here tonight at the meeting between a happy past and an unknown future have reached, not the end. hut the commencement of our lives. What these lives areto be depends in a large measure upon the foundations we have been building for them in our high school years. The journey of life is a road of many windings and turnings. The road seems long, this road of life, but when we glance back over the miles traveled, how pitiably short it seems after all. Tonight we. as a class, reaching the first milestone of the road, pause to look back over the last four years with a strange blending of regret and satisfaction. Ever since we began our studies our eyes have been turned to this hour as the goal of our ambitions. We have worked for it. studied for it. planned for it. and dreamed of it as the realization of our hopes and desires. Now we stand at the gateway, half gladly and half sadly looking backward. I'or four years we have traveled hand in hand along a sheltered way plucking blossoms of learning as they grow close. And what is of even greater importance gathering fruits of purity, nobility, and truth that hereafter must be firmly engraved into every fibre of our hearts. We have been carefully guarded by kind, zealous instructors from every adverse wind of thought and every taint of evil to be met in a world of action just beyond us. It seems well for us who are about to step into the arena of the world's progress to consider something of what our parts in the great battle of life are or ought to be as citizens of the Great Republic and the greatest nation in all the world. Representing before its people the best school of all that covers the land from ocean to ocean. Now that we are ready to start our lives as citizens of our great America may we realize what is expected of us. It is on us. you and I, class mates, that the destiny of our nation depends. Shall we let it fall or continue to carry it on as our forefathers have done? Let us put forth every effort to uphold our standards of honor. Let us strive to so apply ourselves to the task which we choose as to be able to improve so that the generations to follow can claim a still greater honor than we as American citizens. Classmates, let us make the colors of our class and all they stand for but symbolize in its larger sense the principles of our nation and fire us with the zeal to make of ourselves such men and women as the I'nited States as well as lluey-town High School will lie glad to claim as their own. Sorrowfully we separate to go our different ways to live the lives to which we may he called, no longer as class, but individals. We must learn to stand alone for the world demands men and women who make true citizens themselves not dependent upon others. We have stood as class and have made a success of it. It will be harder when we go out alone, out from under the sheltering wing of our teachers who have watched over us during these years of learning. We have accepted what was offered as we knew that it had been first analyzed Ptuje .VtfSYM iVH by them and therefore would be pure and uplifting. The world is not so good to us. We are offered everything and we are to judge for ourselves the right and helpful things, in order to take these and leave the things that might serve as a hinderance to us. fvCt us then go forward with these ideals implanted in our lives that we may master the problems of life, he willing to accept hardships but overcome them so that in the end we can approach it with unfaltering trust. May our work here he so well finished that we may— Like he who wraps the drapery Of his couch about him Lie down to pleasant dreams Classmates, let us take our motto as our guide, Through difficulties to the stars,” if we stick to this we are sure to succeed. It seems that the stars are in the far distance and we know that the road between us and the star we choose for our goal is filled with difficulties. Let us brace ourselves against the hardships and go on through at last reaching the height which we desire. Our school life has been a happy inspring life to each of us. Ever since our Freshman year we have realized we were seeing our happiest days, that the parting hour only too soon would sepaartc our paths for all time. We realize that the most important lessons are not in text books. As we step out of school life into life’s school we are conscious that the hardest lessons are yet to come. To our instructors one and all we say in farewell. We may forget much textbook lore but we shall never forget the tendencies for good that you have developed into our character during our high school days. Often in the time to come our minds will turn back to you and your faithful and patient dealings with us until we shall long to return to the shelter and rest of your council. To H. H. S. we say in parting that we hold in our hearts the greatest admiration for our alma mater that has given to us the foundations of our lives. To— OUR CLASS Here's that site always may he in the rij ht Here's tha ther standards may ever he white Here's that whatever our future may he Steady and fearless God-like may he Our Class. IVum.ixk Ray, 23. Page Iii hteen CLASS POEM When evening shadows deepen And night begins to fall And the stars begin to twinkle In the heavens above us all. It is such a satisfaction to take a little rest When you've worked all day at something And done your very best. And while you arc there resting Vour thoughts begin to fly Back to your dear old school days Back to the days gone by It is such a sweet remembrance And you cannot help recall The days when you were Seniors Were the sweetest of them all. A queer sensation grasps you And your face begins to beam As nineteen happy faces Come gliding in your dream. Each face to you is sweeter Each voice you seem to hear As you did when we were Seniors When we sang our song of cheer. “Through difficulties to the stars” Was the motto of our class. Success is calling to you: “Keep digging at your task.” Though your work is often tiresome And you seem so very slow just work like you were a Senior Some twenty years ago. Where are those bright-eyed lassies And those lads so full of life? Out in this world of sorrow In this world of toil and strife? But no matter where they tarry And no matter where they roam They'll remember when we were Seniors And our school life hack at home. Mow you'd love to be a Senior Just for a few more days: You would lengthen every moment And gain your teacher’s praise. You’d not tire of all your studies. You’d have no sad regret. For the days when you're a Senior Are the days you can’t forget. Edith Smith. ’23. Page Nineteen PROPHECY The shades of twilight were deepening and the forest was bathed in that purple mist which conies with summer sunset, I was almost home and being rather tired from my long ramble through the woods I decided to rest for a few minutes, to sit real still and listen to tlu whippoor-will. While thus absorbed in the beauty of nature I was startled at hearing someone speak to me. Quickly turning to my surprise, I saw a lovely C.ipsy girl standing directly behind me. I was rather startled at first but after seeing that she was harmless I allowed my romantic nature and imagination to take possession of me and began o shower her with questions. After talking to her for several minutes 1 was struck by an idea, which seemed to me a very brilliant one. I thought perhaps she would be able to relieve of much an.vety if she could in any way help me with the prophecy of this class. 1 asked tier if she was good at telling fortunes and she seemed to be very interested and eager to help me. After explaining to her how it ever happened that I was made Class Prophetess with the whole class aware of my inability to do globe gazing. She said that since she was not acquainted with any of you the best she could do would be to give me these beads which were given to her by an old member of the tribe. It was said that these beads would enable one to see through the vista of years and determine the destiny of others. So tonight I have here nincten beads. May I see some beautiful future for each of you. I will begin with this lovely purple one; as I press it gently between my fingers everything seems to grow misty before my eyes and I see a bevey of college girls playing basketball and there in the midst I see Myrtle Skates, a former star at H. II. S., now coaching at Montevallo. This picture leaves and I see here a lovely forest all brown and green and there seated at her easel is a beautiful white haired girl, whom I recognize as Kathleen dressed in a smock of palest green which seems to make her a part of this forest. She is painting a tiny little brook which circles down through the hollow like silver magic, dancing and singing in the sunlight. While I trace this little path of light the surroundings seem to grow darker until this one leaves me. By pressing this next one I see a large stage, a spotlight is moving across it as if in search of some one. now it has stopped and onto this stage which is black as night, with one great bound as though she leaps through infinite space from a falling star into the small safe circle of the spotlight comes Edith Lucille. straight on the tips of her silver toes, with laughter for a dark world in both her outstretched hands, floating and drifting, lovely and light as floating thistle—down like a butterfly gone mad. like a flying leaf and dancing star until 1 can no longer see her. By touching this one I see a large tent over which floats a pennant with these words; “Radcliff Chautaqua” and on a bulletin board placed to one side I see the program for the first afternoon: looking closer I can read these words: “J. A. Wilson, Well Known Leader of the Wilson Orchestra, Will Entertain With a very Interesting Program. Well. well. I am glad to know that Aubrey is still interested in things musical. With this next one 1 notice that it is the opening night of the new play at the New Amsterdam theater on lower Broadway, all is excitement for a noted English actress is to make her debut. The billboard announce sthat her career Pa tc Twenty as an actress was first noticed when she appeared with the Black Friars at the l. of A. The curtain rises and the first act progresses, the heroine appears and 1 see someone in the audience jump to their feet and I recognize her as myself, for the actress is no English lady but my own class mate, Pauline. 1 press the next bead and I see a large school, the campus filled with boys and girls, and there on a rustic bench all by himself is an old man, his beard touching his knee, writing poetry, it is none other than Homer Parsons, the Longfellow” of our class, still a freshman at Auburn! This next one shows an entirely new picture; I see a somewhat fleshy girl struggling to get her head and arms through a red and white sweater. There, she has it on! Well. I declare if it isn't Beatrice with an Alabama sweater. She always had a tendency to wear football sweaters. The next picture that I am able to see is a very small town which I recognize as the city of Enslev and there in the doorway of a little brown bungalow is a tiny, black haired girl, once known as Flora Carter. I thought she was bov proof but it doesn’t look like it now with her keeping house. I touch the next and I see sand, all white and sparkling from the white rays of the sun. Yes, it is a desert, j erhaps one of my classmates has turned Shiek; but no. it is a lady that 1 see, a small bob-haired lady on horseback, laughing and talking to a big. fat man. I notice that both seem to Ik. very richly dressed and. oh! the lady is Marvinee. But what is she doing out there? Let me see. I remember now how she always said, she would ratehr be a rich man’s darling than a poor man’s slave, so I guess that is she and her rich husband making a tour on the desert. The next scene is that of a schoolhousc and standing at the steps arc two lady teachers whom I recognize as Leona (iwin and Myrtle Hallmon. 1 touch another bead and here 1 see Pearl Hawkins giving the Valedictory address at Woman’s College. And with this next bead 1 see Montevallo and there seated in his private office is the Dean, looking closer I recognize Roy Dyer, an old favorite of the class—Dean of Montevallo—imagine it. I suppose he got his start early when visiting there. By touching this next bead I find myself at Rickwood. today is the yearly football game between Auburn and Centre and there surrounded by young men in uniform I see Grady Howard. By his wonderful playing while in high school and college lie has won for himself the position of Coach at Auburn. While pressing the next bead a large ballroom appears, there arc beautifully dressed girls and handsome men in their staid black and white evening clothes all lined up against the wall, they are watching two figures in the center of the room who are dancing. The onlookers encore again and again. As 1 watch them I notice that they are doing the famous dance known as the Argentina Tango. Now they have finished and they become enveloped in the crowd, I wonder who they are. so handsome and graceful; let me see—there, I see written on the door these words: Mr. Wei by Smith, successor of the once famous Rodolph Valentino, performing the Argentina Tango with Miss Anne Louise Cunningha mas his beautiful partner. Now I come to my last bead, I touch it and I seem to be on the desert once more; directly before me is the much talked of Egyptian tomb, a large crowd is assembled there and in its midst I see Luther Knight and Knox Davis. two of a kind, and them two digging in King Tut’s tomb! Laura Johnson, ’23. Pageg Twenty-one SALUTATORY Grady Howard Classmates anil Friends: The eventful time has come to which many of us have looked forward for years, while it was lieyond the expectation of some to reach this point, and it will be well remembered long after our springy youthful stride has dwindled into slow, draggy creep; after these minds have ceased to be alert, and the only pleasure in life is the memory of the happy days that are past. To some it is but their first flight, not mid-point between childish fancy and life's ambition; to others it is their final destination. This institution stands for certain ideals and principles, and it is the aim of the teachers to weave these into our characters as we pass through the tour years course here. These ideals have been molded into our lives; soon we shall go forth to stamp them upon the world. We shall probably impress people with the same ideals that our school has given to us. To me those ideals have been nothing but good. As I look back over our past record. I count our four years spent in High School as well worth while—worth while to have known each other;—worth while to have made such a noble institution our home, and to have been under the care of such splendid teachers, who see things in life more precious than wealth. To show the rank of worldly possessions, permti me to insert here the beautiful poem of Byron: “BETTER THAN GOLD Better than grandeur, better than gold. 'Phan ranks or titles a thousand fold. Is a healthy body, a mind at ease. And simple pleasures that always please: A heart that can feel for another's woe. And share his joys with a genial glow. With sympathies large enough to enfold All men as brothers, is better than gold. Better than gold is a conscience clear. Though toiling for bread in a humble sphere. Doubly blessed with content and health. Untired by the lusts or cares of wealth. Lonely living and lofty thought Adorn and enohle a poor man’s cot: For mind and morals, in Nature’s plan. Are the genuine test of a gentleman. Better than gold is the sweet repose Of the sons of toil when their labors close; Better than gold is the poor man’s sleep And the balm that drops on his slumber deep Brings sleeping draughts on the downy bed Where luxury pillows his aching bead I lis simple opiate labor deems A shorter road to the land of dreams. Pare Twenty-lwo hotter than gold is a thinking mind That, in the realm of books, can find A treasure surpassing Australia's ore, And live with the great and good of yore. The sage's lore, and the poet’s lay. The glories of empire past away, The world’s great dreams will then enfold. And yield a pleasure better than gold. I letter than gold is a peaceful home Where all the fireside choiristers come. The shrine of love, the Heaven of life. Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife. However humble the home may be. Or tried with sorrow by Heaven's decree. The blessings that never were bought or sold And center there, are better than gold. Dear classmates, in bidding you a last adieu, let us carry with us the spirit of Huey town High School so that no matter where we go or what we do, we will continue to learn and fill our places in the world, honorably, loyally and truthfully, and permit me to wish that the most beautiful flowers may blossom in your pathway; that your lives may be lives of service; that life and death may be to you one grand sweet song. Grady Howard, 23. I'uitc I unity-three STATISTICS Dear Classmates'. I feel that you are indeed honored in having me address you this evening. hen you imposed upon me the work of compiling statistics 1 felt unequal to the task so I resorted to books and Mr. (iilmore for guidance. In iny search I read 29 almanacs. 13 encyclopedias. 1 dictionaries, 3 cook books and 2 report cards. I finally arrived at this definition. A statistician is an amalgamated,, unsophisticated, ignorantly educated depository, commonly termed the eomplor or prognosticator of facts pertaining to the condition of people, their prper-ties. and talents. I shall not mention the talents for our vacant faces sadly bespeak their absence. Hut I will indulge in a lengthly discussion and enumeration of our properties. For convenience, let us take this class as one large family. In this class there are thirteen different varieties; seven are human, the rest are only girls. As a whol our class weighs one tone four hundred ninety five pounds and four and one half ounces. The heavy-weight championship goes to Beatrice Franklin and the light-weight to Flora Carter. If we were to stand on each other's shoulders we would he high enough to see an airplane without looking up—provided it were on the ground. Our tallest brother stretches 70.5 in. short and our shortest sister can peep, over a five foot wall. When I think of the sleepless nights we have spent with Chemistry I wonder that we are not all gray headed, bus such is not the case for I see there are eight blonds, seven black headed and four brown headed in our family. Such color if intremingled. would rival one of Kress diamonds. The color of our eyes varys as much as our hair. I find we have thirteen blue eyes, thirteen gray eyes. 10 brown eyes. 3 glass eyes and one black eye. ( Luther Knight went to Alliance last Sunday). If these eyes were combined by the law of signs the diameter would be 03 feet. With it we could find the hamburger in the buns bought at Mr. Huey’s store every day or maybe see the point of Mr. Deese’s jokes. We could even see a dime in the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. If all our feet including Roy Dyer’s were made into one it would be lo feet long. Using logarithms we find it would take 1,658,312.4 steps to cross the Atlantic. It could he used as a bridge across alley Creek. Now. do not think that our feet are the largest part about us; bv careful measurements we find that our heads including Aubrey Wilson's have a circumference of 45 ft. and 3 in. If the heads were made into one and used as a reservoir it would supply Ravine with water for a year. By the law of combustion the weight of the brain is equal to pie (3 1-T) times the diameter squared, multiplied by the circumference. Therefore our brains weigh I lbs. 3 1-2 ozs. Classmates, just think what would be possible with this enormous amount of brains. W ith it we could do all our work including Chemistry and Math in 20 minutes. By our imaginative instinct we could see Furoj e as our History teacher wants us to. Every one in our family is a good sleeper. We have slept I 1.444 hours. 20 minutes. We would have had 1 1.444 hrs., lo min. but Miss Thompson caught Page Twenty-four Homer about the middle of the period one day so he lost 20 minutes, then, we would have had 5 hours more but YVelby Smith went to see Harold Lloyd in “Safety Last” (at least he said so the next day). Our chief source of amusements is hearing Miss Riley talk about Chemistry, Mr. Deese about Psychology, and Miss Thompson having us practice songs, and moonlight picnics at Hay view and Avondale. I know you want to know where our money goes so I will read the finance committee's report: YVc all spend 15c per day for lunch, except Luther and Welby. Wclby bums his and Luther borrows his. so they do not lose anything. If we total this up with Jack Newton’s 10c powder puff. Laura's hair cut and Welby's trip to the show, we find we have spent $892.31. All this is not extravagant as $10.00 went for diplomas (The diplomas only cost 98c but 2c went for postage). For our names, we have one for everything, we have a Parson in our class, we also have a noble Knight, a bright Ray, only one Skate, and neither are we without jewels as we have a precious Pearl. Seriously, though fellow-classmates, as our happy schooldays draw to a close. I feel a strange tearing at my heart and I know you feel the same. c are about to leave pleasant memories and beloved teachers. F.re long w shall Ik separatee! and our former pleasures will be only a memory, but let us hope btat the good will and friendship of our fellow students will go with us through life's journey.

WISE Ci'.vNiNf.Ham Program Committee. Chairman, Marvince Newton. Assistants. l;ay Salter. Myrtle Anthony. At the opening of the school session of 1922-23 we were very much enthused over the increas in enrollment of new members. e found that our society excelled every society in school in membership. I his created a great working spirit among th members and caused them to strive to raise the standard of the society higher than those last year. The enthusiastic accomplishment of the club was that one of our members. Miss Marvinec Newton was elected to represent our school in the Inter-Scholastic Debating League ’ at the University of Alabama. In our society we mingle with our literary work lot s of fun and play. Best of all. WHAT?????????. The social spirit found among our members, every girl’s joy, which makes the Ross Society the best in School. To all future students of Ilueytown High School the Ross Literary Society. extends to you a cordial invitation to join us. We are looking forward to making the Ross Society as famous as the great woman for whom it is named. Miss Betsy Ross. Page Thirty-five HOBSON SOCIETY President_______________ ice President______ Secretary-Treasurer Reporter___________ ______Wki.hy Smith ____Luther Knight ____Brown Marlon Hychk The Hobson Literary Society was organized at the opening of school. Since the organization of this society we have enrolled more members than any society in school and have more leaders in literary activities than any of the other organizations. Three of the debating teams came from the Hobsons last year, as well as the majority of the football and baseball stars this year. We furnished only one varsity debator but were far ahead with football and baseball players, tor in nearly every tryout the Hobsons lead. (An ardent Hobson among the faculty members is Miss Thompson, director of music, who was always present at our meetings. The other members of the faculty have aided the society in every way j ossible. The Hobson society, although it is young posseses a past crowned with literary achievements in the school, thus accomplishing the purpose for wh’ch it was founded. To all students of next year, as well as the old ones we will receive you with the greatest of pleasure.

Reporter________________ ----------Laura Johnson ----------Thki.ma Orr ......Myrtle Skates Ukatrick Franklin Colors:—White and Green. Motto:—Onward, upward, and not backward. I he most enthusiastic society in school is the Zane. We started out this terra with vim and determination, and have continued throughout the year. We chose for our subject, Drama”, we made a study of this from the Elizabethan period to the present time. Each program was educational as well as entertaining. I Hiring the year we had several debates. ()ur society was fortunate enough to send two representatives to the debating contest at the Universiy. There is no doubt but that through! the year we have been the smallest socitey, but our motto is “QUALITY” and not quantity . lo the new pupils we extend a hearty welcome to join the Zane Society, and we assure you a good time.

The members have become more interested in the work, besides the many interesting debates held this year. We have mad a special study of the lives of great men. Our society has its share of foot-ball and base-ball players, although the Hobsons out number us. What we lack in Quantity we make up for it in Quality. Page Thirty-eight BOOK III. FOOTBALL Hueytown made a good record in football. Although defeated they always made a hard fight and no team made over two touchdowns against them. This is considered a fine showing for a high school with only one year's experience. Bessemer was doped to win from Hueytown by five touchdowns and only made two. For awhile during the second quarter it looked like Hueytown's game, for the “Gophers had the Tigers backed up to the three yard line, but with two downs to make three yards a fumble resulted and a pass struck the goal post. The breaks of the game were against us. Some of the bright lights of the season were C'apt. Howard's brilliant playing in the Jefferson game after having been sick all the previous week and his stubborn defense playing in the Bessemer game; Dummy Howard’s brilliant defensive playing in the Centerville game: Skates starred in the Centerville game especially on the offensive, making a nice catch of a W yard pass and picking up a fumble and racing 30 yards; Mile’s defensive work in the Shades-Cahaba game was especially good; Smith's brilliant interception of a Jefferson pass and a 55 yard dash for a touchdown and his effective use of the stiff arm will long be remembered. The scores for the season were: Hueytown______________________Id Hueytown______________________!

F. GILMORE, Athletic Director Athletic Director Mr. Gilmore has a great desire for athletics, lie stands for pure, clean sport, and always ready to help out the team’s wants. Mr. Gilmore coached the Gophers the first year, and with a squad of hoys, some who had never seen a football game, made a creditable showing f‘ r a high school with its first football team. He is well suited for his place as director of athletics, lie has the confidence and good will of every member on the team, and we all appreciate what Mr Gilmore has done for athletics in 11. 11. S„ also baseball coach. RALPH SNIDER. Coach “Fats- Much credit is given Coach Snider for the showing made bv the leant this year, bats is an old Auburn star, and played center the year that the Tigers heat Tech. “Fats uses the Donahue type of coaching, and. being especially gifted in teaching what he knows football from A to there is no wonder that he made a football team out of a green squad, sonic of which had never played in a football game before. Coach Snider is a favorite with everybody. and it i our earnest desire that he come hack next year to coach the Gophers. GRADY HOWARD. Captain-Center Too much cannot he said of Grady’s value to the team, both as player and leader Opening holes was Grady's specialty, and when he charged into the opposing defense the back field always found an opening awaiting their arrival He is the only player on the team to play every minute in every game since Hueytown organized a football team. Everybody regrets this is Grady’s last year, and we all wish him success in athletics in any school he may choose to enter. Page Forty-one FRED McCLAIN. Cap tain-elect-Fullback Freddie is one of the hardest line plungers in high school football. Although injured in one of the first games, he showed his courage by playing in every game. This handicap did not keep him from hitting Bessemer's line for four and five-yard gains. Freddie will be back next year to lead his mates on to victory by his never give-up spirit. WELBY SMITH. Left Halfback “Smitty Smitty, the gridiron star of them all from a Gopher viewpoint, played true to dope this year, and took up on himself the responsibility of many victories the past season. His favorite pastime was tearing up the hopes of would-be stars who tried to stop him. Being exceedingly fast, he was always there to block passes, or rather intercept them. He is expected to continue his football through college. We wish him success. ROY DYER. Right Halfback Eggs Huey town would have been greatly handicapped without the services of Roy. In addition to speed, he was a wonderful man in blocking passes He showed admirable pluck and aggressiveness for his 130 pounds of flesh. Roy was one of the most faithful men on the team, never missing a practice, and as a consistent man he was a Jonah to the opposing team, LUC IEN BATSON, Sub. Linesman Trow Although this was Lucien’s first year, he made a name for himself. Lucicn had never played in a football game before he started to high school. 1k has three more years to play, and with added experience should make a tine linesman. Va jc Forty-two ROBERT HOWARD. Left Guard Dummy” Dummy,” a linesman of the first calibre, proved to’ be one of the mainstays of the line last fall. When the opposing backs hit • Dummy' they had reached their journey end. The least he did was breaking through the line and nailing opposing backs for four or five-yard losses. Dununv has two more years to play, and will make the Purple and Gold win many victories by his brilliant playing. HENDON SALTER. Quarterback Peanut” Although small in mature. Peanut was a Hon in nerve and determination He weighed 130 pounds, but his surplus weight did not seem to bother him in stopping his heavier opponents. Hendon stopped 'em all, he being the surest tackier on the team. Peanut” will be back next year to run the team and should make good by ins showing the last two years. NEWELL HYCHE. Right Hud Goob Goob’s” faith was always disturbing to the morale of the enemy. This was Newell's second year on the team and he proved himself a fine defensive end. He has a never-die fighting spirit and should make a valuable man for the Gophers. If he plays next year like he did the past year, there is no worry for coach over right end. TOM LACEY. Right Tackle Tom was a fine man on defenses. Being light and fast, he would break through opponent's line time after time and get his man fur a loss. When Tom hit them they usually fall backward. Every one regret this is Tom’s last year. But his records will remain here forever. Page forty-three TERRELL HUEY, Left Guard ••Hull” Bull” had an eager, persuasive way of dealing with anybody attempting to slip his part of the line. “Hull is a hard tackier, and when he hits 'em they usually need relief. He has three more years and should develop into one of the best gridiron stars in the state. Me has the weight, courage and fleetness, and with more experience will make ’em hustle for an all-state l� erth HIGH MILES, Sub. Linesman Spike Spike” could always lie counted on to take • tie's place in the line and make you forget he was a substitute. Hugh is sure to gain a place next year by his all round ability and courage. t end. he plays like Brick Muller; at tackle, he plays like-Josh Cody; at guard, like Tiney Maxwell. Will be hack next year. CHESTER SKATES. Sub. Hud. “Chet Chet,” our little speed demon, was one of the fastest men on the team. Although he weighed only 120 pounds, it was easv for him to stop Centerville's heavy left half.' Chester will always he remembered for his playing in the Centerville game. Not satisfied with picking up a fumble and racing .30 yards, he made a brilliant catch of a pass for 20 more, placing the Gophers m scoring distance. A touchdown followed. ill be back next year to make somebody hustle for a halfback position. DAN ROBERTS. Sub. Guard Fats ' hats did not get in many games this year, but much is expected of him next season. ’ Besides being a hard tackier and good blocker, he is much touted for his toe. He should make one of the best high school punters in the state next year, and he also has a nack of putting drop-kicks through the bar. Has three more years to play. Page Forty-four GEORGE HAMMONDS. Left End “Ellis” George made the Gophers a tine man at end and could make a terrific try for passes, getting them most of the time. He has a habit oi nailing those that seem most impossible, lie made the interference of the opponents useless by his effective blocking. When a back field man was needed he could he shifted, and the loss would never be felt. The school should have a splendid half iir George next year. LUCIEX LACY. Left Tackle Spurt” “Spurt, like his twin brother, Tom. has left us and entered upon the sea of life as a husband, but he left a record that will stay here for a long time. Spurt was tough” personified. When “Spurt hit his man once, the said hero was given a wide berth. Every one regrets that Spurt will not be back, but we all wish him happiness in life. If he plays the game of life as he did the game of football, he is sure to In? successful. LAWTON GRIMES. Half and End “Stud When Stud was used as half, he could run end like Ruck Flowers, block passes like John SShirev. and snag runners as well as Red Barron. When used at full, he hit the line like lid Shirling. When placed on end, he would catch passes like Notre Dame's whole team and stop halfbacks like Brick Muller. Every one regrets that Stud” will not he hack, but we all wish him success in his calling with Uncle Sam. CARROL PORTER “Porter “Doc” This space is dedicated to Carrol Porter. Although he only played in three games on account of sickness, he left a fine record. Carrol's health has greatly improved, and we are all expecting him back next year. Page Forty-five BASEBALL Muevtown lost many diamond stars last year by graduation, but has made a good showing this year with the material that has reported. Huey town entered the South Jefferson County League and lias a good standing. The line-up is as follows: I lammonds.
