Sp,xvUunen On Parade ----- GhanUi Reed SAM COOTS On the football field tlv? praise usually sees to a man in the back- field position: however, those who have attended Karnes in which Sam played have never failed to notice his astounding ability to hang on to that ball! Sam Coots can easily be dubbed the Man of the Year In sports at LRHS. Man of the Year” in sj.otrs Pulaski Heights after lettering two years in Football, Basketball, and Track, with a record in the latter. Ills football career has been long and successful. He started out in his sophomore year in the End position on the Varsity Squad and has lettered all three years. Besides being the Co-Cap- tain this last year he has made all-state end. His pass-snatching ability has been marveled at by experts and he has carried that pigskin over many times for the winning score. Hig basketball career has been as spectacular as his football. He has lettered two years in basket- ball and would be good candidate for another letter this year if there had been a Varsity team. In track he has tattered two years and will probably go out this year. His 6 foot -I inches has taken him places in the high jump. His plans after graduation are obvious. He plans to go into the armed forces. Look out Tojo here he comes! BILLY “TUBBY NICHOLS The varsity football teams will be losing another good member as Billy .Nichols bids his alma mater goodby. He has played two years in the Varsity Squad as an excellent tackle. He may have been dubbed Tubby but no one can say that he didn’t put it to good use as a line man on the team. He came to us from Pul- aski Heights wlvjre lie had let- tered two years on their team. HOY REAGAN Roy Reagan, a quiet but pow- erful athlete who will be bidding a farewell to LRHS. has shown that throwing things has become a pastime to him. His sports career started in Pulaski Heights Junior High where he lettered one year in football, but his wrestling Ik? en- joyed most. He has wrestled three years over here and has been crowned champion the last two years in the 165-pound class. In track lie has lettered one year. The high jump being his specialty, he set a pace to follow even though lie doesn't have a very small figure. In football he played a hurd game and was promising End man. FRANKIE BIRCH Monk came to Little Rock from McGehec. Arkansas. He en- tered Pulaski Heights in 193$ wlv?re he played one year of foot- ball and one year of basketball and lettered In both. Then LRHS gained his football and basketball talents in the fall of 1940. He was small for highschool football but that didn't stop Monk”. He made the Varsity in 1940 in spite of his size, however he didn't earn his letter. He gave a good account of himself the first year to be in the starting Tiger back- field in '41. where lie was one of the Tigers strongest threats as a triple-threat back. In the spring of '4 1 he played on the Tiger hardwood, where he lettered one v?ar. PAIL HORTON Bama” entered Pulaski Heights in 193S from Montgo- mery. Alabama (hence his nick- name). Paul played one year of football and one year of basket- ball in junior high and lettered in both. In the fall of 1940 he came to highschool. He played class league and in the fall of ’4 1 lie went out for bigger game—the Varsity. Although he didn't letter in '41 he gained a lot of exj erience that was valuable to him in the '4 2 reason, in which lie handled a lot of passing, punting, and scamper- ing assignments on the gridiron. Paul was on the Tiger Cubs for two years. SAM STATIIAKIS Greek” started on his football career in East Side. When he fame to LRHS, lv? waited until Ills Junior year to go out but he didn't letter that year. Last year, however, he went out for it again and besides win- ning a letter lie made all-state second team. Football is the only sport he has cared for. When asked what he planned to do when he got out of school, he answered, More than likely go to the army but I want to go to college to play sonic football. BILL WILKINS A well-known individual who has lettered in track both in Jun- ior High School and Senior will be another loss to the LRHS Clutter fans. Bill Wilkins receiv- ed his letter in the State Track meet of 194 2. The spints. relays, ami broad jumps were easy meat for him with those legs of his hardened by the workouts they have receiv- ed in swimming. He swims every summer out at Fair Park, receiv- ing honors for participating in the State AA1' meet out there. He showed a splendid form in diving. : u and 200 meter free style at this meet. Besides his sports activities here at school he has been on the advertising staff of the TIGER. When asked about his future plans, he answered I'll probably work out at the swimming pool until 1 get my call to the Army. COWLE HAMILTON An all-round athlete who has shown his abilities in practically every sport will be stepping into school colors for the last time when track season gets under way. His good-nutured way. and his abilities have made Cowle Hamil- ton a favorite. His sports activit- ies were wide and he has shown good form in each activity. He has lettered one year in track. Placing in the pole vault, broad jump, and javalin were easy feats for him. He has boxed in the annual tournament two years. He played one year of var- sity football and has won conso- lation in a golf tourniment. For exercise he manages to work in to his schedule, tennis and swim- ming.

r- PaAAinxf Pa iade Comes graduation at this most unforgettable insti.ution of learn, ing, an | approximately six hundred faithful students will hear the r'nging of the school-house bell for the last time. Yes, without a murmur these pupils have served the long years with no glances in the direction of the diug store. As a whole our book learning is practically at its highest ebb- rock bottom—but it's a bare fact that we have advanced in many fields. .Maybe it's love, hate or possibly just happy medium, but we. the graduating class, feel that we know a heck of a lot more things than we did thtee years ago. Occasionally, .Miss Opie has caught au industrious senior studying in the halls, or rather that is. walking around the halls with a book in his hand. On such a journey wo wrote this class his- tory. Gifted in the use of the past tense, we tumble the pages of history. It is tile fall of 1040. Doors bang, shrieks echo down the long corridors as green fr.sliman JIM COATS proudly displays to hope- lessly puzzled STERLING COCK- RILL the elevator ticket lie has .iust bought. As the day grows older, the. halls become more and more crowded with lost freshmen wii‘ '• ’gil '' here they wee • go- Ing. Finally after a complete year of tills, these more or lo?s unfort- unate people become Juniors. Some of them pass end r the watchful eye of the Glee Club teachers and become members of th A Cappcllu Choir. Leav- ing 0:1 one of tin famous song trips we find than joyfully trudg- ing down the hall with the black and gold robes tucked under their arms. Prcs'dent NICK HOLLO- WAY tags along behind. As they pars tli TIGER Room JACKIE FOREMAN and GEGE DICKIN- SON. cub reporters, stick their heads out to watch them. Souk how or other this hope- less group has finally come into its senior year. Drooping around • he hall with that lordly slump we find DAVID SPY RES and BILLY STAFFORD discussing the problem of being a senior. Standing close by are ANN AN- DERSON and DOROTHY WAL- BERT looking slightly forlorn. A good many of their friends have gone to Jaycec to finish tlielr education. Among the students who may receive honorable men lion arc some thirty-five, who are either more brilliant than we or may- be just more ambitious. Whatever th • case may he they seem to be in a hurry to get an education: MARION BRANCH. ROBERT BRANCH. JACK CARTER. CAI VIN DILLAHA. BILL ELDER. MARY LOP LAMBERT.

From the band tower comes a familar rendition of Porgy and Be:'» , pounded out by the grad- uating musicians. Int: rrupting this music is the voice of Coach Quigley calling to COWLE HAMILTON. FRANK BIRCH. BILL WILKINS, PAUL HORTON. SAM STATIIAKIS. ERNIE MED LIN and SAM COOTES who have been elected to LR Club. Wandering into the auditorium we bump into CHARLES KIRBY. BILL CASEY.

GEORGINE BRANNER who are bemoaning th fact that there will be no state press meet this year. Then too. we come across the National Honor Society which l as as its pr.sldcnt ANN ANDER- SON. Serving in the position of president of the student council is MARGIE ADKINS who has been working in the council ever since she first trod LR1IS soil. Walking down tile hall we pass Miss Murphy’s French class where we find ANNE PATTILLO busily reciting verbs. Standing In front of the door we watch BEV- ERLY BOYD who was Home Coming Queen last fall. EUNICE PRANGE choir piaii- ist passes by on her way to 127 where she is practicing for a Choir Concert. With her is PAT SCOTT carrying a box of money from the sale of war stamps. ADRIENNE STOREY.
