I went out into the HALL to get my hat, but I couldn't find it HILER low. I had to go on without it. I went out and got into my old ESSEX car and BAXTER out of the garage. Just then I saw a BROWN hen SUTTON on a post. I decided to TUCKER under my coat. The HENDRICKS some water and then I SHOVER into my pocket. Just as I went to CARTER over to my car JOHNSON came out and said, The GODSIL punish you. HILLMAN, that is the best hen I've got. You can't LENKER. Then I said, I weigh MORTENSON you do and I'1l knock you out before you can KOUNTER ten. You're a LACY SIIVIP-SON. Just then the hen stuck her head out of my pocket and gave me an awful PECK, and it made my THOMAS sore as a boil. It took many NICHOLS to hx it. I went WEST fhaving abandoned the idea of going to Boston, till I came to lVIac's house. He was a SEXTON of the church. He said, Hello, how's Beth AND-ER-SON? MAC-BETH'S all right but I am not. MAC-UNE know how to cure this finger and I wish you would. Your love for me MAC-ELWAIN but mine for you will never wane if you cure this finger. If you don't hurry, I'l1 STAMP my foot and BALL and make a POOLE of tears. I He soon hxed it and I was able to JESTER again. I 17 ESTER 1 9237 -UM!

S e cretary-Treasurer HISTORY In May, 1935, the class of 1939 marched up to the assembly of the old high school building to the Wearing of the Green? During the afternoon Jean Bar- rett, our freshman president, received our colors of purple and white. September, 1935, we entered the new high school as freshmen under the advisorship of Mr. Ball and Miss McElwain. We held our freshman party on February 29, 1936, at which an enjoyable time was had by all. From the beginning, the class was well repre- sented in extra-curricular activities. During our freshman year many boys received letters for football and track. VJ e were also represented in the band, glee clubs, and vocal contests. Robert Young received third in the declamation contest at the Military Tract meet. In 1936, our boys had their first experience in night football, some receiving letters. We were also represented in basketball, track, music, and declamation. Our concessions, under Nliss Jenkins and Mr. Mason's leadership, have been very successful. 1181 FRESHMEN Q ,J l I Front RowfBzllie Sheridan, Kay Courter, Kermit I-Iiler, Dean Johnson, Artellus Templeton, Lloyd Sommers, John Walck, Betty Woolsey, Eileen Dancy, Georgia McCune, Edith McCune, Mildred How- arter, Marie Karr, Patricia Moffett, Margie Baxter.

S ecretary-Treasurer FRESHMEN OF TODAY Some children enjoy skipping school, Which should not at all be their rule, Because in a schoolroom they'd better sit Than to take home the bad grades they,ll gin We may be freshies and plenty green, Still we don't make such an awful scene, But some day before long Seniors we will be, just you only wait, watch and see. Now you think the teachers are hard on you, Later you'll see they've only been true, By trying their best to make you study, So on through life youlll not need a buddie. If at any time a tack you ever sit on, It will make you do more than only yawn, And rubber bands sure do make you howl, Then, O-boy, you can see the teacherls scowl.

As General Science is a required subject, all students except Freshmen are eligible for membership. The purpose of the club is to give those in- terested a wider knowledge of things that are developing in the scientific world- or interesting things which have been developed but are not included in the regular text books. When possible, interesting and educative lectures of the Knox County Academy of Science are attended by the club, but generally, under the supervision of Mr. Ball, the science teacher, something new and valuable is offered to the mem- bers at their own meetings. Until March 15, the Science Club was not really organized. On that date the first real meeting was held in what is now the Grade School building. At this meet- ing the ofhcers were elected, and other business matters were settled. The usual program of instructive lecturing and experimenting followed. On March 24, the club attended a lecture on the Geological Wonders of the Southwestf, given by Professor Gunnell of Knox College. Due to the late start, little is lcnown concerning its activities at this writing, but plans have been made for interesting meetings in the future.

S ecretary-Treasurer Se-Co Club The Se-Co Club was organized for the purpose of providing a chance for all girls whose interests lie in the field of Home Economics to get together in a social way for the expansion of household hobbies. All girls enrolled in Home Economic courses, which include Clothing, Foods, and Home Management, are eligible for active membership. Those previously en- rolled and who are still in high school are entered as honorary members. Various meetings were held during the school year following the programs previously planned by an appointed committee. The programs have included the making of Christmas presents, a discussion of The Well Groomed Girlf' and vari- ous household interests. The last meeting was a picnic lunch. Through the meet- ings the girls learned many things which have proven both worthwhile and of a special interest. Miss Poole, the instructor, proved herself a true friend to all the members by always being willing to help make the club a success in every way. l im P xuoxviur Q 5153 eg - W ESTER 1937 NOXVI LLE L1 .Hamlin .

Censor Latin Club The Latin Club was formed this year under the faithful supervision of Miss Young. The club was organized for the purpose of benefitting all members who wished to receive not only wisdom but also pleasure. As anyone who was interested enough to take the subject would be interested enough to join the club, everyone taking Latin was permitted membership. The club held a meeting each month and also had some special meetings. A banquet for the new members was given by the old ones and a steak fry in the spring is being planned. The Latin Club pledge reveals both the purpose and the ideals. It is as fol- lows: Believing that Latin is not a 'dead language', I pledge myself to do my part in the Latin Club so that I may help myself and others to understand and ap- preciate the Latin language, customs, and life, and the influence which they have upon our English language- and life. f24:l .

Band The Knoxville School Band, directed by Mr. Herman l-lampy, has made considerable progress during the past year. The band was enlarged by a great number of beginners last fall. The band added to the interest of the night foot- ball games this year by being present in uniform and playing for each one. A large amount of work was put forth for the district contest held in Peoria on April 12. The band was placed in the second division which was consid- ered good. Three numbers were played by the band for this contest. Knoxville was well represented in the solo con- tests also held in Peoria. Dean Davis entered in the baritone contest and received first place. Another first place winner was Armando Ghitalla, being en- tered in the trumpet solo contest. Warren Manley and Gordon Wolgamott, playing clarinet and piano, respectively, received second places. MR. I-IAMPY The band is now working for a spring concert to be held on May 14. It has also been requested to play at the Commencement exercises as well as the Little Six Relays to be held on May 18.

Girls' Glee Club and Chorus The Girls' Glee Club and Girls' Chorus are two different groups although they are organized for the same purpose. The Girls' Glee Club includes many more girls than the chorus, but both have gained a great deal from the music and sing- ing. Mrs. Sherman is the director of both. The ofhcers of the Girls' Glee Club were elected at the hrst of the school year. The president is Jean Barrett, the vice- president, Dorothy Peck, and secretary-treasurer, Margaret King. The Girls' Chorus has worked hard during the year for the county contest that was held in Abingdon on April 16. Although they did not place in this contest, they deserve much credit for their effort. The Chorus has also given a part in various programs during the year. The Homecoming stunt given by the Girls' Glee Club and Girls' Chorus combined was very well presented. As well as being the accompanist of both organizations, Marian Etnire is president of the Chorus. Margaret Johnson is vice-president, and Jean Hunter, secretary-treasurer.

Under the instruction of Miss Young, these girls worked hard to pass the pre-preliminaries, but only six succeeded. Those who did not survive this test but deserve much credit for their effort include Betty Essex, Alice Foreman, Frances West, Dorothy Peck, Katherine Huff, and Margaret King. In the finals all gave their numbers in a most pleasing manner. The judge, Lois Halladay, awarded Jean Barrett first place, Helen McElwain second, and Patricia Moffett third. Alleyne Essex was unable to give her numher because of illness. BOYS, DECLAMATICJN CONTEST The boys' declamation contest was held on the same night as the girls'. Only two boys, Robert Young and Clarence Boston, entered. They were instructed by Miss Young. Robert Young received first place with his selection of The Swimmin' Hole in the Church, and Clarence Boston, second, with The Bill of the Great Doctorf' The judge was Lois Halladay. ., Miss Young deserves much credit for giving the help and the time that she did to both the boys and girls in the declamation contests.

S. a football team of which they can rightfully be proud. Although they lost five games, tied one, and won but two, it is to be remembered that they were playing anything but set-ups. With the ex- ception of the first game, every opponent had strength at least equal to or in ex- cess of Knoxville's. It was not the best team that has ever represented K. H. S., but it was one that tried to give their best every minute. K. I-I. S. honors these men. ALEXIS 0, KNOXVILLE 18 Knoxville opened the season under their new lighting system and crushed Alexis 18 to 0. Alexis' larger team was completely upset by Knoxville's fast charging and excellent blocking and tackling. Stockton scored on a quarterback sneak, Johnson, on a fullback smash, and Rosene on a long pass from Stockton CORPUS CI-IRISTI Og KNOXVILLE 20 Knoxville met another inexperienced team in C. C., and when the final whistle blew, the score stood C. C. 0-Knoxville 20. The game was hard fought, with C. C. threatening several times. Peterson scored off tackle, Grindle tallied on a reverse, and Johnson smashed the line and ran seventy yards through a broken held for the third touchdown. FARMINGTON 25, KNOXVILLE 0 Outweighed, outplayed, and playing on a muddy field in the rain, Knoxville was de- feated 25-0 by Farmington's excellent team. The Knoxville offense was stopped cold, and their defense failed to cope with Farmingtonfs power plays. Knoxville was definitely out of their class. ROSEVILLE 26, KNOXVILLE 0 Roseville completed a long forward pass early in the game, and Knoxvillels supposed classy outfit went to pieces. Inferior line play on defense and costly fumbles by the back- field gave Roseville a 26-0 victory. Knoxville deserved to lose, but they lost to a team no better than their own. Grindle dislocated his shoulder and was out for the rest of the year. His fine running and blocking were missed. WETHERSFIELD 6, KNOXVILLE 6 Knoxville played their final night game against the strong Wethersheld eleven. Knoxville was trailing 6-0 at the half after failing to make use of an excellent scoring opportunity. In the final minutes of the game, Knoxville drove the length of the field for a touchdown, Stockton going over on a reverse. Failure to convert the extra point kept Knoxville from a victory. ABINGDON 12, KNOXVILLE 0 Knoxville dropped their Homecoming game to their old enemy, Abingdon. Knox- ville, although putting up plenty of fight, did not have the power to penetrate the Abingdon defense. Abingdon pushed over a touchdown each half. Knoxv1lle's touchdown came in the second quarter when Tate, safety man, received a short Abingdon kick from their end zone and eluded several would-be tacklers to score. ALEDO 7, KNOXVILLE 6 Knoxville lost their final conference game to Aledo, 7-6. Aledo with a larger, more experienced team was a heavy favorite to win, but Knoxville almost upset the dope by scor- ing first via a 70 yard touchdown march with Stockton going over. The try for point failed, and Aledo returned the kickoff deep into Knoxville territory and scored soon after. This one lapse cost Knoxville the game. TOULON 195 KNOXVILLE 6 In the final game of the season, Knoxville met Toulon's undefeated team and went down by a score of 19-6. The score favored Toulon 7-6 at the half with Knoxville out- playing the favorites. Knoxville's line was unable to keep up their fight during the second half, and Toulon smashed over another touchdown and passed for the third. Knoxville's touchdown was the result of an eighty yard drive with johnson carrying the ball most of the way. Johnson went over for the score. E341 FOOTBALL Front Row-W. Johnson, W.

Due Ito this cause, he was out much of the season but returned to give valuable aid dur- ing the regional and sectional tournaments. TURNER Turner was one of the teamls smoothest players. Having a good eye for the basket, he made a high percentage of his long shots and displayed plenty of fight throughout the season. Russ will be graduated this spring. CHARLES Charles, a senior, was the tallest player on the team. Charlie did a good job of jump- ing center and was a valuable man in playing rebounds. STOCKTON Bill, another senior, was known for his ability to dribble the length of the floor through the entire opposing team for a basket. The 'Duke,' did this many times against the best teams on the schedule. , CONKRIGHT Conky, though small, was an invaluable player. He pulled many games out of the fire by his spectacular one-hand pivot shots. This is Conkright's last year to play for K. H. S. DAVIS Davis, a senior, did not have the required number of quarters, but, because of his faith- fulness in coming out for four years, he was given a MK. NICHOLS Nichols is a junior so he has one more year of competition. Niclc's playing ability ad- vanced rapidly, and he became one of Knoxvil-le's most dependable players. W. TUCKER Tucker did not play enough quarters to earn a K,', but he was given the varsity award because of his valuable work in the Aledo and Burnside games. MURPHY Murphy, a freshman, was also awarded a letter. Murphy has three years of competi- tion left, so he should develop into a ball player. NUMERAL WINNERS Will. Simpson G. Davis Shover Fender J.
