Page eleve greetings from the president ' - ¥ It is kind of you to give me the privilege of extending greetings to all the students through the Annual. The preparation of a creditable Annual calls for a great deal of arduous labor and sacritice on the part of the Annual Staff. I am sure the members of this staff will be given full credit by the faculty and the student body for the faithful performance of their duties. Such an activity as this reveals the type of the Jacksonville Normal student body to many of the outside world who do not know it. Personally, I know that our girls and boys here come from the homes of the honest. God-fearing people of Alabama; consequently they have high ideals and are very responsive to every measure proposed for their development. The co-operation which they have given to this school and to me personally. as its administrator, during the past year reflects credit upon them and their training and has been of great comfort and joy to me whose duty it is to lead and whose chief pleasure comes from work done for the students'and from the friendship and love received in return. Please accept my best wishes for the Annual Staff and my hope that the Annual may at least approach your ideal in excellence this year; and please allow me to convey to every student in school my affectionate regard and greetings.

This has looked to us the ending. Sighted far away, Now we see it’s the beginning: Life just starts today. Every one has used this motto, Looking toward the rest; Overlook the worst in others. Love them for their best. Life returns just what we give it. School is much the same, Fairness was our aim in striving. Thus we played the game. Up the stairway to success. Willingly we’ve climbed.

Our place in the Alma Mater is soon to be taken by others, but we shall always look back with pride on the fact that wo were members of the '29 graduating class of the S. N. S. It has been only two years since we, with few exceptions, were in high school. Some of us have had a chance to go out and obtain splendid training as teachers: therefore we have not all been together two years successively; but long enough to learn to love and cooperate as a group, and in memories' gallery there are pictures which have been hung through these years. When we realize that: “Soon our iaithful band will sever. Soon our ways will part,” It brings a shade of sorrow, a hint of tears, but with a confident smile on our faces, and with the light of faith in our hearts, we expect to go bravely forward to meet life and its problems. Our success has been attained by perception, by painstaking care, by hard work and determination. These various qualities have been shown in our school work, and in the support of all the school's activities to the best of our ability. We have ever held high the banner of truth and honesty. The quality of our work we hope will be an incentive to those who follow use. We have always demanded of ourselves the best that was in us, never accepting anything less. These principles will mark the differences between success and failure in the years to come. It is needless to mention the regard that we hold for our President and Faculty who have so kindly borne with our every trouble. How they helped us! What trials we were! How much wo appreciate them! And now, Dame Fortune, give us harder tests to try us, and give us strength to stand the test. As we go out into the field of life, let us carry in our hearts the picture of dear Old S, N. S. that it may inspire us ever onward and upward to that last reward by the Almighty. Mrs. Ruth Denson Edwards.

In memory we see all through that year. Sometimes a smile and sometimes a tear. We worked for a cause we knew to be true. And to do justice, dear school, to you. Turn backward, turn backward. O, Time in thy flight, And make us all Juniors just for tonight. The Joys that were ours we’d like you to share. Omitting to all the burden of our care. Since we must travel the Highway of Life, May we be strong in the world-wide strife Applying our knowledge we gained in our youth, And help carry on the one great Truth. We know with the help of the One that is Just We shall succeed in our great Trust. Dot Davirson. Class Poet. Page thirty-fc President......................... Vice-President ...

Page fifty Junior Glass History In September 1929 the State Normal School enrolled the largest number of students in its history, the junior class being twice as large as in former years. From sixty-seven counties, forty-two were represented in the junior class. Early in the year our first meeting was called for the purpose of electing officers. The destiny of the class was instructed to Jonnie Aston. President; Walter Bartlett, Vice-President; Lois Beck, Secretary and Treasurer; and Dot Davirson, Poet. In all student activities the junior class has been well represented. Out of the twenty-two players receving the coveted J” in football, eleven were representative of the junior class. Four from the boys’ basketball team and eight from the girls' basketball team received letters. In baseball, too, the junior class is holding the big glove. Not only in athletics, however, has the class been represented but in other activities as well. The Morgan and Calhoun literary societies have had the loyal support of the junior class throughout the year. Last but not least the juniors have obtained recognition from the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A.'s. Two clubs have been organised and supported by the junior class, one for the girls and one for the boys, for the betterment of the use of the English language. The accomplishments of these organizations during this year will determine their permanency in the future- As we launch out into the deep sea of life and look back on the days we spent in S. N. S„ it is then we shall realize the value of our “Prep Days.” Should we ever forget them? I am sure none of us will. All things considered as we close the history of the junior class of 1928-29. let us trust that every student will return next year, profiting by the mistakes of the past year, and endeavoring with courage and determination to bring honor, not only to himself but to his class, his school, and our great nation. J. D. Turner. Pagt fi (� - yithletics Page fifty-three THE COACH Coach A1 Clemens has been a great cog in the wheel of Athletics in our Normal school. With patience, strong will and good cheer he made our team what it was. Coach was always behind the team and they knew it and by their knowing it caused them to fight harder and play cleaner games.

Page fifty-si EDDIE WATERS Guard Plenty of strength and determination to back it was Eddie’s main tool in football. AUBREY LOWERY Tackle Win fairly if you can, but lose gracefully if you must. FARMER BROWN Guard He was an outstanding lineman. Not for honors to himself did he work, but for the team. WINSTON GRIFFITH Tackle “Go it Normal, hit 'em hard! was this strong man’s motto and he certainly lived up to it. Few were the men that passed by Griffith.

Of the number reporting, five were letter men. Linemen were promising—but, “My kingdom for some backs.” Two weeks later, when school opened, prospects looked much brighter. Two varsity backs returned along with the arival of some promising new men. One lineman was shifted to the backfield, and then the touchdowns began to loom up ahead. The work of the defense was superb all season. During the seven games of play only twenty four first downs were registered against the purple wall. Offensive work developed as the season advanced to bring a glorious climax. The State Junior College championship was clearly won by the defeating of Marion and Troy, which in turn had eliminated all other competition in the state. A claim for Southern supremacy was made, no game was arranged, since no team with a clear title accepted the challenge. Let’s see how it happened: Cumberland University was the first victim 18-6. Floyd ran 98 yards for a touchdown. Tennessee Teachers turned the score. 6-0. Bowdon (Ga.) College lost out 75-0. Bryson nosed out in the last few minutes of play on a freak pass 7-6, Dick Waters scored a long run and a touchdown from a pass. Also a punting due between Reece of Normal and McDill of Bryson which was in favor of Reece. The high light came in the game with Marion 7-6. when Daugette tossed a beautiful pass to Hughes for the winning touchdown, at the same time bucking the line for the extra point. Marion also scored via the air route late in the final quarter but were unable to count the extra point. The running of Curry and the blocking of Laminack also featured. The fall of Troy, 21-0. Piedmont College ventured afar and took the small end of a 33-0 score. Thrilling runs and passes marked the final game for the Normal boys. A perfect machine was the comment, as the season closed.

She always has the girls at heart and is personally interested in everyone. She is always ready and willing to do all she can for all of us, and the team. She advocates good, fair play and above all she preaches good sportsmanship. She is making every effort possible to retain the honors left her and the team, from last year. She never grows tired of signals, in fact, she thinks they are god medicine for LOIS BECK Forward (Captain) This is Beck’s second year. She is one of our stand-bys who fought hard for State Championship in ’28, and is still fighting to retain honors left to us. The fact that she was selected captain indicates her value. Not only does she play hard, but she plays fair and square. At all times she sets an excellent example of sportsmanship. MARY JULIA BEARD Guard This is Mary Julia’s last year. She will be greatly missed for she is quick to catch on to the opponent's signals and is good at breaking up passes. She always fights with the ole Normal spirit. Forwards, who shoot over her, are good. She always keeps her head and smiles regardless of what happens. She is noted for dribbling every time she gets the ball. ESTELLE BROWN They could not jump too high for Brown. When it came to getting the tip-off she knew her stuff. Although this iB her first year, it has been a successful one. Page sixty-eight BILL NICHOLS Forward Again we find Bill Nichols leading all the guards a chase. She is quick in her playing, has a good eye for the basket and follows up well. She, especially, has a good eye for her shots. Bill is a good, clean player and never has time to touch her guard unless she gets in her way. GREY HUGHES Center Forward (Manager) Another Mortimer Jordan Player. She is filling the place of one of her high school mates. She is doing it well too. When it comes to getting the tip-off’ and recovering, none can beat Grey. She not only jumps and recovers well, but she has a good eye for the basket. She is one of our highest scroers for the year. No matter how things go. Grey always smiles and keeps her head. MARY GILBERT Guard Mary gets in there and fights. Very few forwards can run away with her. She is especially recognized for her consistent playing. She plays a good defensive game and is always ready to pass the ball. CHRISTINE LYKES Guard This Is Lykes' first year. She gets in there and fights. She sticks close to her man and gives them lots of trouble. She gets the ball and passes well. GLADYS WALLACE Forward Gladys is one of the main cogs in old Normal wheel, and is always in her place. She plays a good defense as well as offense. She has a good eye for the basket Page sixty-nir FLORA BELL JONES Jones was especially known for her overhand shot. All the guards know that it was the hardest shot to guard. She not only played very hard on the offense, but as well on the defense. DAISY BLAIR Blair was another of those good ole guards that you can count on. She plays a very pretty game and very few forwards can run the score up over her. DOT DAVIRSON Even though Dot is small, she is quick and also has a good eye for the basket. She has played in several games, but she is beter known, especially to the basketball girls, as “our Water boy. UNA MAE WASHINGTON Although this is her first year here, she is holding down her part of the forwards and also showing great skill in breaking up passes. You can depend on Washington getting the ball if it comes her way. CORA YOUNG Young is very fast and forwards have a hard time shooting over her. She has another year and we know it will be a good Page seventy Season Schedule and Scores Normal 81 Cave Springs (Ga.)

The boys suffered a setback in the opening game with Howard, being forced to take the small end of a 34-23 score. This, however, only served to set the team to rights and start them on the successful season to follow, in which they lost only two more games out of the thirteen played— another to Howard and one to Middle Tennessee. Out of the thirteen games player, Normal won ten, scoring a total of 491 points, an average of about 38 points per game. The Normal girls began their season with a bang, beating the Cave Springs Mutes by a score of 81 to 8. Then came A. P. I. who went down to the tune of 65 to 21. The games all ran in the same order. Normal winning by large scores until they met Middle Tennessee and here they were forced to cede the game to Tennessee by the small margin of four points. This was the only defeat and this at the hands of a team claiming the Southern Championship. The final game was played at Bowling Green, Kentucky, where Middle Kentucky State Teachers College was defeated. As a final summary, we might add that of eseven games played six were won, scoring 408 points (an average of 58 points a game) against their opponents' 168. And that matchless forward. Bill Nichols herself, scored more points than the total opponents’ score.

During the past year organisations, such as the mixed chorus, and Junior Girls' Glee Club have been developed. The Senior Girls' and Boys’ Glee Clubs have a formal organization, with regular practice twice a week. The four clubs practiced faithfully throughout the year toward their Spring Concert which was given the week after Spring Holidays. Fifteen singers were chosen to represent our school in the All-State Chorus which sang during the A. E. A. Convention in Birmingham. Four member of the band had the honor of playing in the All-State Orchestra. The Normal School Band, under the able direction of Miss Ada Curtiss, has made a splendid record and it has endeared itself to all loyal boosters of Student Activities. Among those who will be remembered as very entertaining musically are: Sewell. Cagle. King, Abies, Daugette, Mauldin, White, Carpenter, Collier, and their mascot Woodrow Carpenter. When singing over these few notes we might add that many would have been colorless, tasteless, and altogether flat, had it not been for the sharp notes of our many talented students.

Each of us was on needles and pins watching the poetry poster, afraid someone would learn more lines than he. Of course this took most of our time and caused us to neglect Profs History. In Biology we were kept continually bringing in bugs and worms to be observed. In our second year we were a little more civilized; we had been called barbarians;” we now realized that we were Juniors. After learning that Miss Stevens really meant to teach us something, Charles Darnay from The Tale of Two Cities, still dramatically faces the scaffold in our imagination. “The curfew,” still, ‘Tolls the knell of parting day, in our minds, and as seniors, we “Tripit as we go on the light fantastic toe. After our years of struggle and toil in an effort to keep out of work) we are glad to be called Prominent Seniors. Our chests swell as we think of our success in the classroom and as we wear the letters so faithfully earned in athletes. School life is just the same except we have a few more privileges than before. We have now reached our destination and, as grad-uates, will go to the four corners of the earth. This is station J. N.
