Class Poem It was a hundred years ago, When by the woodland ways, You never saw a school like ours So full of honored praise. Beneath a hill, whose rocky sides O’er looked a grassy held; You never saw the land so wide On which our school is built. The red men say that here they walked A thousand moons ago, They never dreamed a school like ours Mankind would ever know. We love to wander about our school And think that all is well, For such a gentle place is this The place in which we dwell. We are proud of this dear old school And work with greatest will, But there is something else we say We’re prouder of our leaders still. Now as we leave we want to tell Our forefathers what they’ve done; That through their hardships and their cares A fruitful future we have won. — Jeane Reynolds, Class Poet Class Will We, the Class of 1949 of L.

We, the class of ’49, are no exception to this rule. At last we have reached our goal after a continuous struggle of eleven years. In September ’45 we, as a class of ninety green freshmen entered Lebanon High School. As we advanced to the goal of graduation we had to leave some of our class- mates behind, but we in turn gathered in new friends and now we are the proud class of ’49. As freshmen we had five girls and three boys who made the basketball squad, two boys on the baseball squad, and as a whole, the class was active in all activities. In our sophomore year we welcomed Mr. Moore as our principal. For three years he has worked for the betterment of our school, in sports and activities as well as in studies. The basketball squad was again tops.” A tacky” party was given for all members of the class. We were much bolder now and were taking part in all of our school activities. As juniors, we proudly stood in line to be measured for rings. In this year, days seemed nearer when we would be superior to the rest of the students. The seniors were very hospitable, honoring us with a Hallowe’en party. In turn we honored them with a picnic at Douglas Memorial Park. Senior year — a reality, not a dream. Football finally materialized with eight of our boys on the squad. Members of our class also dominated the basketball and baseball teams, the former winning the county tournament while playing their first year under the new coach, Jack Barker. In activities, too, our classmates have held their own. Assembly programs and other activities of the school are filled with talent provided by the seniors. But soon we will leave this school, the place where so much of our life has been spent, and take our place in a modern world. We will part and go to different places but each in his or her own way will contribute to the making of a better world. Joan Duty, Class Historian Class Prophecy Guess what I’ve been doing for the past several days? I’ve been going over the files of the Lebanon News, in order to catch up on all of the L. H. S. news that I missed while working as a stenographer in Washington. After being away for ten years I’ve a lot of read- ing to catch up on. JAMES CUMBOW and HU- BERT FIELDS seem to be making a big success. They are printers at the Lebanon News. On top of the file I found an issue dated July 5, 195 9, which contained an advertisement from the new Lebanon Drug Store on Main Street owned by JULIAN GIVENS. This one is advertising Easterly’s Funeral Home. SKIP EASTERLY is doing all right for himself. I see his right-hand man is DEAN ROBINSON. Here are some social items: After nine months’ hard work some of the teach- ers of L. H. S. are longing for summer vacations. They are: English teacher, BETTY HARGIS and MARY ALICE FARMER who teaches music, and of course the two best coaches in the county, PAT JESSEE and DERBY GRAY. They tell me Pat’s team has won 20 out of 2 3 games and Derby’s team has done just as well. Well, well, just look here. I see Mrs. Jack Gra- ham (AMA SADDLER), Mrs. J. P. Jenks (LO- RETTA THOMAS), and Mrs. James McReynolds (HELEN DAVIS) have been entertaining quite a bit lately. I see where they have given a tea for LOUISE JESSEE, who is a famous opera singer. Louise is singing the title role of Carmen in New York now. In the issue dated November 1, 1959, I see that HARRY CAMPBELL now owns one of the largest theaters in Lebanon. Working for him are: IRENE HUGHES, selling tickets, HERMAN SAR- GENT, PAT McCLOUD, DON WHITE and HAS- KEL WARNER as ushers. In the stage show are JOAN DUTY, NELL CASSELL, OPAL YATES, LOUISE HESS and MARY CLAIR FIELDS. HOWARD JONES is playing his favorite role as one of the Jones boys. On page two of the same issue I see where LEON DEEL and GENE COX, who are with the state po- lice, have captured one of the country’s bad men. Helping on the case as private detective was JEANE REYNOLDS. Dr. (KELLY) WORSHAM and Dr. (JOHN) PRUNER have discovered the cure for pharyngitis. Helping them at their huge hospital as registered nurses are: IRMA SADDLER, GERALDINE FARMER, ANNE FERGUSON, CARLEEN GAR- RETT, EDITH ROBINSON and RUTH SNEAD. While we are on the subject of hospitals, I might mention that PEGGY JESSEE and her husband are doing very well with their private hospital. After I finished with the files at the Lebanon News, I walked out onto the main street of Lebanon. It was so changed that I just stopped and watched the crowd of people, the street lights and all of the changes that had taken place in the ten years I had been away. Suddenly I heard someone call my name. As I turned I recognized my old school mate and good friend, ANNE STEELE. At once we began talking of dear old L. H. S. and of our school mates. I told her all of the news I had heard and she told me that she was a Powers model in New York and was doing well. Of course, she is now Mrs. Henry Grady Pruner, Jr. As we walked up the street we passed Mrs. Jack Johnson (JACKIE HARGIS) and as we stopped to talk to her we found Jackie, Jr. to be a big boy. Walking on, we passed the Rasnake Construction Co., owned by GEORGE RASNAKE. We stopped to look in the window and found sev eral of our class- mates employed there. They were CHRISTINE AN- DERSON, BETTY BREEDING, MARY FRANCES BREEDING, ANNETTA BUCKLES and BETTY JACKSON. We then decided to have a coke in a snack-bar owned by Mr. and Mrs. Roy Ellis Sword (GERAL- DINE HANKINS). Employed there as waitresses were: JUNE HANKINS, NINA GARRETT, KATHERINE MUNSEY and MARY KATHER- INE ROBINSON. Upon talking to these we find that O. B. DAVIS is now working for the Virginia Department of Highways, with him are: EDMOND GARRETT, HOYLE FIELDS and GAINES SNEAD. Leaving the snack-bar, we then approached a night club owned by JIMMIE HARRISON. As we entered we heard the jazz” music of CHARLIE STEELE ROBINSON and his Cripple Creek Boys”. We found two more of our classmates working there. They were MAYNARD YATES and FAYE DAVIS. As night was drawing near I said good-by to Anne and boarded a plane taking me back to my job in Washington.

After a lapse of nine years, football has again turned to Lebanon High, bringing a new athletic coach, Jack Barker, formerly a five-letter athlete at Tusculum College, Greeneville, Tennessee. The boys, though only one of them had played football before, showed eagerness to learn and the season was characterized by their love for the game more than by their skill, since it takes years to develop a really smooth running eleven. There were eight seniors on the squad. They were: George Rasnake, quarterback and captain; Derby Gray, left halfback and co-captain; Kelly Worsham, fullback; an d Hoyle Fields, reserve halfback. In the line, there were John Pruner and Harry Camp- bell at ends, Jim Harrison, tackle, and Julian Givens, a reserve tackle. Seven games were scheduled for the first season beginning with Garden High School at home on October 1; at Damascus on October 8; and October 1 5 with Meadow- view at Abingdon; Rich Valley High at home on October 22; November 3 at St. Paul; and at home with Chilhowie on November 11.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL The basketball team greatly improved during the season. Even though the boys were short in size, they had plenty of speed and stamina. Under the direction of Coach Barker the boys became a fast, hard scoring quint who always gave their opponents a hard fight. Although they won eight games and lost nine, they played excellent ball and were beaten by only a few points in many games. The most exciting event of the season was when Lebanon overpowered Castlewood by a score of 40 to 29 to win the Russell County Championship.
