History of Tiger Tiger Staff Pix Staff What You Don’t Know Action Shots Students at Ease Publication Staff Autographs duertisem en ts yrriiE rock high socci; Principal'A tHeMage To Senior You as seniors are entering a world that is in a very unstable condition. The recent conflict embracing will have to face. On this occasion. I shall endeavor to project your thoughts into the future to show that we must meet the challenge facing our democratic society. The peoples of Europe and Asia are starving. If we allow some other society, for example Russia, to satisfy this want for hunger, it is apparent that Communism will soon be running rampant in Europe and Asia. Then too, we cannot expect people who lack the very necessities of life to accept our American ideals. However, it is entirely possible that if we provide these necessities, we could follow with an edu- cation that would include the American ideals of life. To build toward a world of peace, then, it is essen- tia) that the starving and needy people of the world be fed and clothed. It appears that we must also put our own house in order. The practice of democratic principles re- quires patience, tolerance, intelligence, and the will to work for the good of all. We have evidences each day that ignorance and distrust abound in our country. It is essential that we educate our people into in- telligent and trusting citizens. Any self-governing people will make mistakes. That is to lie expected. The issue is, are we as a nation at the point in our development where we can profit from such mistakes, or will we repeat these mistakes which have such costly results. Take an inventory of yourself to see if you profit by your mistakes. This attribute is essential if you are to lead a fruitful and profitable life. I have mentioned education two or three times in this message. I have tried to make that idea the un- derlying current of my thoughts. I sincerely hope that you have taken advantage of every educational op- portunity afforded you at Little Rock High School. You will learn as you progress that your education will help you no end. Seek as much education as you possibly can, for a people of ignorance cannot long survive. Whatever road of endeavor you may pursue, you will find that your school life that once you considered unimportant and unnecessary, will assume an advantageous role in your life. all races, colors, and creeds has created world-wide problems that you, as citizens of a working democracy. etu5 FACULTY Holloway, Robert Alston, Mrs. Louise Bakkr, L.

English ')acU that tittle £cck Htyh £chccl Ever vigilant at the portals of 'the Most Beautiful High School in America,” Ambition, Personality, Oppor- tunity, and Preparation stand guard over a community of some 2(XX) people. Each day they usher our young citizens into the various avenues of instruction arranged best to meet life’s needs. The hum of busy students, teachers and staff mem- bers, echoes throughout the building. Activities are fo- cused on the total development of the individual. Prom nursery school to the dignity of the sixth-story band tower, work in arts, science, trades, vocations, business, and other courses, is being carried on. From these corridors students in all corners of the world have reflected honor and credit upon their alma mater. Generals, executives, statesmen, scientists, Rhodes Scholars, Pulitzer prize winner, judges, missionaries, opera stars, engineers, lawyers, make a partial list. Each year our students have secured coveted scholar- ships in the nation’s outstanding colleges and universities. These awards, based on competetive examinations also consider outstanding ability in leadership, character, and service. Our athletic victories, band, and vocal music depart- ment, art, dramatics, journalism awards, as well as liter- ary honors, have gained national recognition. Our halls are treasure chests for these emblems. Outstanding heroes in Spanish-American, World Wars I and II, have received early training here. It was our privelege to build the Campus Inn in the memory of these heroes. At the turn of the century, the high school, then known as Peabody High, occupied the second floor of the Peabody building. As the ninth grade was a part of the grammar school, only Sophomore, Junior and Senior Classes were held there. The courses offered were largely college preparatory and were designated as “Latin and “Science” courses. Three years each of English, mathematics, history and Latin were offered. Two years of German was offered in 19(X). Physical culture, and music were conducted by classroom teachers under the supervision of “directors” who visited the school once or twice a week. In contrast, our present curriculum woidd require 12 years for com- pletion. From these crowded quarters, it was with great pride, that 'The High School Temple” on Fourteenth and Scott, was dedicated for our young people in 1905. Here, for the first time, courses in domestic science, manual, and business training were offered. The School Improvement Association was also organized in 1905; now our P. T. A. is the largest in the country. The social life, as well as athletic contests, was car- ried on largely by chartered class-organizations. Great pride and heated rivalry spurred class members to exert efforts in these activities. State and interstate debates were very popular. The semi-monthly magazine, “The Tiger” offered an outlet for journalistic training. The year book, “The Cage” was edited and managed by the senior class, to- getlier with senior sponsors and English department. Now noth paper and year-book are a pare of the journalism de- partment. Hardly had the school been housed in The Temple,” when it became apparent that more room was needed. This gave rise to the annex for class-room space, and the auditorium and gymnasium. The new auditorium served both community and school. Here we welcomed famous actors, statesmen and artists. Mary Lewis and Helen Keller both appeared here. In 1927, to the amazement, pride and joy of citizens, faculty, and students, the present high school was ready for occupancy. Noted visiters to our city dubbed it 'The most beautiful high school in America. Our auditorium which seats 2050 people has the third largest stage in America. It served as city auditor- ium until the Robinson Memorial Auditorium was built. Here we heard Fritz Kreisler, Eddy Cantor, John McCor- mick, Nelson Eddy, Ethel Barrymore, and many other famous stars of opera, screen and stage .Our stadium is one of the best in the country. For forty years, assemblies, clubs, class plays, athletic, and social life in form of banquets, luncheons, and picnics have offered diversion from the regular scholarship cur- riculum. Now, many of these activities are a part of the daily schedule. The present day assembly is the outgrowth of spelling bees, Friday programs, community gatherings and enter- tainment. Our recreation hall offers social diversion for students throughout the day. Our student governing hotly, National Honor Society, and other organizations, were outgrowths of the idea of the total development of the individual—mentally, moral- ly, physically, and socially. Here are embodied the ideas of leadership, scholarship, character, and service. All through the half-century clubs have been organ- ized to stimulate interest and to develop individual talent. They served also as a stabalizing influence during war hysteria. During World War I, every pupil in high school belonged to one or more of the 2S clubs, many of which were newly organized to carry out war projects. Advancement in the scholarship of the instructors has kept pace and aided materially in the progress of the school. The Smith-Hughes Act, and other government agencies, made many vocational courses possible. Thus in almost half a century our high school has ex- panded from a few rooms to the present extensive plant, covering four blocks square. Its tributaries, the three junior high schools and Tech High School are also large institutions. These all are coordinated in a program for the development of a l etter civic school system. Spend not thy life in hate. For what is hate? It is fell Satan’s tool, that splits apart From Virtue’s fort and jewelled heav’nlv gate The weak, ill-treated, poor and sick at heart Who curse their fate instead of using art Or talent their environment to raise. It is a fire from Hell, which doth impart Not to its object flame, but awful blaze Upon its author’s head. Live not thy days In hate. For what is hate? A searing coal: Destroying mind and strength and holy ways. It burns forever the immortal soul. But spend thv youth and prime and age in love, The dearest grace begotten from above. For love hath pow'r upon this wicked sphere To give to those who love, a holy mien Of honor, mercy, kindness. Godly fear. Humility, long-suffering, a sheen At last of glory. Live a life serene And full of love for men, and see them grow In virtue from thy love. From quean to queen. All people, gratitude-impelled, do show A better life for being loved, and lo. The qualities of those who love are born To live in those they love. Then overflow With love, nor be afraid of human scorn: A Man of old once told thee, after Jove, Thy neighbor even as thyself to love. And out of love comes service. Leave thv life. And give to God and man thv very soul. Nor gain for self nor power seek. To strife With evil all thy strength devote; thy goal Make high and great, nor heed the distant roll Of Satan’s drums; for God to men divine Gives grace, confirms and strengthens them. Their stole Is easy, and their burden light, and thine, If thou to men thy love and strength assign. Then make thy goal not transitory bliss. But living service, pure and sweet and fine. Not looking for reward; but know thou this: Our God hath promised those who lose the most That they hall find more than they ever lost. -Kenneth Ware KERMIT TRACY, president, an out- standing leader among students. He is an enthusiastic sportsman, with a par- ticular leaning toward baseball. RILL WRIGHT, vice-president, has served in official capacities of many jchool organizations. His friendliness and willingness have made him an out- standing personality. BETH' FAYE MILLER, secretary, is a perfect example of school spirit. She is a cheerleader, an A Cappella Choir member, and is one of the most popular senior girls. Senior CtaM OfflicerA Abernathy.

It was with quaking steps we entered these portals as lowly tenth graders. Our first impressions are mostly forgotten now that we are seniors, but who could ever forget that first year in high school. How we trembled when we encountered the teachers in the halls, as we wandered around, trying to find the right stairs. How huge the school was! It cer- tainly did not add to our sense of security to find our- selves in the wrong end of the building when the tardy bell rang. However, being naturally bright, we soon learned our way around dear old LRHS and only pleas- ant memories remain now. Remember the thrilling Thanksgiving Day football game which ended in a 13-13 deadlock? Remember, too. how the Tigers went on to win the championship. This was true not only in football, but in basketball and in track as well. How proud we felt to belong to such an extra- ordinary school where it was the tradition to win. At Christmastime, the French Department held a French breakfast in the cafeteria, attended by all students studying French. Although he was still in his first year of the study of the language. Bob Mount spoke to the group in French. As spring rolled around a planning committee was formed with Miss Christine Poindexter as chairman. Soon we had our first tenth grade assembly in the form of a Truth or Conserjuences Program. Litter in the spring, April 11-13, to be exact, our school was honored by having the Southern Association of Student Government convention held within its halls. Many of our class served on the various committees and showed that Southern hospitality was not gone and for- gotten in Little Rock. Now our first year was drawing to a close. After suf- fering through final exams, we closed our books, and pre- pared to have a wonderful time before coining back in the fall as juniors. Epoch ll Welcoming us back in the fall was our new principal, Mr. J. W. Matthews. Many of us knew him well, as he was the former principal of East Side Junior High. After settling down to our new life as juniors, we were not at all surprised to see the Tigers of 1946 walk off with the district, conference, and state football championships. This was accomplished under Coaches Raymond Burnett and Wilson Matthews. The Thanksgiving Day game was especially thrilling with the Tigers winning 41-7. Cheer- ing the team on to victor)' was the newly organized Ben- gal Booster Club. In Deceml er the Tigers also won the Toy Bowl championship at New Orleans. Our class took a trip back to the 1890s by way of an assembly in the early part of 1947. Members of our class presented dances from our grandmother’s time down to the present day. None of us will ever forget the excellent performance of the “Charleston” group. Two of our class- mates won prizes for their individual performances on this assembly. They were Mildred Carland and Steve Bostic. Nor will we ever forget the performance of our bas- ketball team of 1947. They carried on the winning streak of Little Rock by bringing us the state basketball cham- pionship crown for the fourth straight year. Their coach was E. C. Barnes. o O O o O o JJistorij of the (LlaSS At last spring had come. What perfect weather for a picnic! As we were always one to take advantage of an opportunity, our eleventh grade group held a picnic at Boyle Park—complete with square-dancing and plenty of food for all. Don’t get the idea we are purely an athletic school. At this time two of our classmates won awards for their themes on The Home — Cradle of Good Citizenship.” Catherine Hicks won first place in the local and state con- tests and received honorable mention in the national con- test. Anita Taylor won second place in the local contest, which was sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary. Glenn Gotham won second place in the local contest and first place in the state contest for his theme on “The Influence of the South on National Affairs Prior to the Sixties.” This contest was sponsored by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The French classes under Miss Mary Murphy sent sev- eral boxes containing clothing and food to a teen-age girl in France. Outstanding workers on this project were Julie Cantrell. Claudette Mundo, Bob Mount, and Billy Dabbs. Members of our class have already taken part in promot- ing good will between our country and a foreign one. In preparation for our final year as students in Little Itock High School, we ordered our class rings and proudly wore them during our last month as juniors. Many of us attended the graduation exercises that year, realizing it would be the last one held in our majestic stadium until our own commencement in 194S. Ejwch 111 A new era began with September, 1947. The new term brought activities in the many organizations of the school. With these activities came added responsibility. The new officers of the Student Council elected in the spring—Skippy Churchwell, president; John Ross, vice- president; and Gene Wells, upper representative at large— began their duties. These officers pledged support to the recently erected recreational building, and with the back- ing of the student hotly, much of the debt on the building was lifted. The hall was commonly dubbed “Rcc Hall”, but was formally named “Campus Inn later in the spring term. During the entire year (1947-1948) Stardust programs were held during the lunch hours. Connected with this work were Glenn Gotham and Howard Bassham who were responsible for the school broadcasts. Glenn was script writer for programs. Dorothy Meeks and Anne Kirby danced frequently on assemblies. Dorothy also served as student director of Stardust. Distinguishing themselves on the lunch hour programs were Noah Cameron, Marion Moffet, Babs Sherrod, Virginia Westfall, and the Choir quartet. Kathryn Fitzhugh, Bill Hollis, and George Rid- dle served as Masters of Ceremonies. Kay Reinochl play- ed the piano frequently. Bob Hall imitated Al Jolson. Sue Lockett Lemay was largely responsible for the Star- dust Club. Jo Ann George served as secretary of the club. Betty Tierney did the clerical work; Clayton Scott served as stage manager. Perhaps other seniors so far unreward- ed have contributed much for our entertainment. Dressed in jeans and picnic array most of the 12B's attended a class picnic at Boyle Park in October. The en- tertainment consisted of barn-dancing and games. Mrs. Carolyn Broadhead and Mrs. Anne Chandler were co- sponsors of this party. In sports the football and basketball teams showed the true sportsmanship that is a tradition of our school. o o o o o o History op the Class The Turkey Day score was 13-0 over North Little Rock. At the close of the season the valiant Tigers won the state football championship. Of these, Seniors on the football team were John Hunt, Kermit Tracy, Don Fuqua. Bill Wright, Bill Hollis, John Webb, Floyd Almond. Roger Knight, Jack Tucker, Henry Johnson, David Hunter, David Conrad, Lloyd Miller, and John Hesson. Of the seniors on the basketball team were Jack Tucker, Allen Merrit, Bobby Ray Miller, and Billy Fiddler. The seniors who were champions in the Intramural Wrestling Tournament held in the Spring were Kenneth E. Newton. Orville Cor- bitt. and Henry Johnson. Dale Harris, Marion Burton and Jack Thompson served as Student managers for the year. Senior cheerleaders were Buddy Garret, Margaret Palmer, Bob Weaver, Betty Faye Miller, and Martha Law- hon. Mid-term was preceded by last-minute cramming and examinations. More than five hundred pupils called themselves “high seniors”, and prepared to make the most out of their last term at Little Rock High School. One of the first things the class did was to elect officers as fol- lows: Kermit Tracy, president; Bill Wright, vice-presi- dent; and Betty Faye Miller, secretary. The oficers elected by the National Honor Society, sponsored bv Miss Orlana Hensley, for the spring term were: President. Dick Dean; vice-president. Jack Thomp- son; and secretary, Mary Ann Kincannon. In the fall term, 1947, the National Honor Society gave a water cooler to the Campus Inn. The Key Club sponsored by L. O. Baker elected the following seniors as officers: Bill Wright, president; Rob- ert Weaver, vice-president; and Crawford Greene, secre- tary. In the fall the Key Club held a Variety show for the benefit of the Campus In. The Junior Classical League was inaugurated by Miss Essie Hill and was reorganized by Mrs. Anne Chandler and Mrs. Lorene Lee. Two of the officers from our sen- ior class were Gene Wells, president; and Babs Sherrod, treasurer. The purpose of this league is to stimulate in- terest in the classics. Many of the members wrote to young people in foreign countries. The officers of the Science Club were Jimmy West- phal, president; J. W. Tisdale, vice-president; and Bill Lee, secretary. This club selected as their project the making of a telescope. This year the Chapel service sponsored by William Ivy, has grown greatly in spirit and members. Jimmy Dodd served as president; Bill Holmes as vice-president; and Robert French as finance oficer. All those who at- tended these services benefited from them. Little Rock is one of the few schools which as completely voluntary student Chapel Services. In the A Cappella Choir’s fifty-six members, forty-six were seniors. The officers for the spring term were: Bobby Peterson, president; Betty Faye Miller, vice-presi- dent; Ava Marie Michael, secretary; Jimmy Wilkins, treas- urer; Paul Davidson, business manager; Byron Munn, head-librarian; Virginia Piper, Jackie Wells, Leroy Finch, and Allen Merrit. The quartet members were Leroy Finch, Coy Davis, Jimmy Wilkins, and Richard Stebbins. The Choir and Glee Clubs attended the State Music Fes- tival at The Robinson Auditorium in April. The senior officers in the glee clubs were Mary Jane Crow, seventh period president, and Mary Ann Lusk, second period pres- ident. Many of the senior class were in the different glee clubs. Officers of the Band for the spring term were Dick Dean, president; Billy Smith, vice-president; and Mava- O o o o O o dene Varnell, secretary. Some of the members of the Band attended the State Band Clinic held at Fayetteville February 26-29. Seniors who won first chair were Phyllis Glass. Carolyn Parrish. Dorothy Kelly. Charles Childers, Peggy Day, Carolyn Jung, and Leon Priekett. We were well represented on our Tiger Staff by Man- aging Editor Merthyne Rogers; Assistant manager Anne Harcourt; and department heads as follows: News, Bob- bie Williams; Editorials, Mary Lou Weaver; Features, Betty Noyes; Make-up, Homer Clark; Society. Joyce Pritchett; Spirts, Bill Wright; Exchange, Hazel Owens; and Circulation, Carolyn Ward. The Quill and Scroll is an International Honor Society for High School Journalists. To be eligible one must be a junior with a B average and do outstanding work in Jour- nalism. The society furnishes contests in writing to all high school journalists. The seniors in this organization are: Merthyne Rogers, Sam Herrin, Anne Harcourt, Betty Noyes, Carolyn Ward. Mary Lou Weaver, Catherine Hicks, Grover Andrews, Bobbie Sue Williams, Julie Cant- rel. Edna Earle Melton, and Bill Wright. Campus Inn has been the home of many parties this year. Outstanding among these was the colorful Valen- tine Masquerade Ball. Martha Lawhon reigned as Queen and Bill Wright as King. This party was sponsored by Mrs. Helena Quigley. The Student Council sponsored a Leap Year Party. A St. Patrick’s Day party was sponsored by the National Honor Society. During the senior year our minds were directed to- ward serious planning for the future. Every senior took the American Council of Education test. On Career Day, each member of the class attended discussions of his choice. Many made plans to attend college; while others made plans for jobs. Finale While history records only that which has happened, coming events east their shadows. We are privileged to look at our calendar and see that we are promised a glori- ous finale. As the closing events draw near, four occa- sions are to be outstanding: Event number one: A Class Day excelling all prev- ious class days. Event number two: A Senior Prom with all that it implies—a beautiful queen and her maids; a handsome king—all of our own choosing. Best of all every member of the class will participate in the fun. Event number three: Humorous and frivilous activi- ties give place to a most serious occasion—Vesper Services. Event number four: After twelve years of watchful anticipation the long-awaited day arrives: Each senior dons his cap and gown and awaits the alphabetical roll call when some dignitary will present him with a diploma that automatically closes his public school career. To our teachers; to our parents; to our administrators; to our school board; and to the taxpayers of Little Rock, we owe a debt of everlasting gratitude. Submitted by: Mariam Ward, Marion Ware.

Prophecy of Se emor 948 One drowsy Sunday afternoon, late in May of 196S, I happened' to turn on the radio. Immediately. I recog- nized the announcer to he none other than GLENN COTHAM, my former school mate at LRHS, announcing that the nation’s newstand now had the latest edition of Life” magazine, featuring cclebraties from Little Rock, Arkansas. Returning home, after a hurried trip to BILL WELL’S Drug store for a copy, I settled down for a peace- ful evening of reminiscing. As I glanced at the cover, I noticed a very stunning woman whose picture was en- titled—“One of the ten best-dressed women in America.” Imagine how pleased I was to discover her to be none other than MARY ANN PLANT, also one of my 1948 classmates. Opening the magazine I saw a large advertisement of Smilola, that new tooth paste compounded by the famous Dr. MATTHEW THOMAS. It featured BETTY JO GIBBS and VIRGINIA TAYLOR, nationally known for their smiles. The next few pages featured letters to the Editor based on the subject of the Bacon-Dial Controvery, the feature story of the previous week. All the letters had been written by former classmates of mine. Among those who agreed with the editors that Shakespeare had written the Shakespearian plays were: Dr. JOHN WYLIE; PRO- FESSOR CRAWFORD GREEN; famed etymologist, WALTER ALBERT; BOB MOUNT, New York drama critic; JULIA CANTRELL, English Instructor at Ste- phen’s College; and the noted Shakespearian actor, DAV- ID CONRAD. Quite a few, however, seemed to think that Sir Francis Bacon had written the plays. These were: Designer KENNETH SNOW; Broadway talent scouts JOE GENE GILLESPIE and LLOYD MILLER; DON ISGRIG, South American plantation owner; famous woman psychiatrist, MARTHA SMITH; Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra conductor, KENNETH THOMP- SON; and novelist MARY JO LEE. There followed a series of advertisements of different nationally known products. A two-page spread was de- voted to the Chesterfield Supper Club starring the now famous Barber Shop Quartette composed of LEROY FINCH, COY DAVIS, JIMMY WILKINS, and ALLEN MERRITT; lovely BABS SHERROD; bewitching MAR- ION MOFFETT; and those top-notch comedians—The Knight twins—RONALD and ROGER. Dr. Pepper Cal- endar Girl Conover Selections for 1968 were: PATRICIA McLAUGHLIN, Miss North; EMMA LOUISE KANIS, Miss South; VIRGINIA PIPER, Miss East; MYRA MAY, Miss West. The next page featured the advertisement of the latest type of car, invented by STEVE BOSTIC. His dealer, JACK ROSS, was pictured showing ZERLENNE BURBANK, one of the Power's models, how to drive the new type car. Next came Columbia Record's list of the great artists appearing on their latest records. A fe v list- ed were: JOHN GOAD, sensational tenor; AUBRY FAYE MONK, concert pianist; MARY ANN KINCANNON, Me- tropolitan Opera star; BALLARD VAN CLEVE conductor of the New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra; The All-Girl orchestra, featuring CAROLYN JUNG, ERMA McLAUGHLIN. and MARY ANN LUCK. “Speaking of Pictures featured the opening of the Ice Capades of 1968. ROBERT WEAVER, manager, was pictured talking to a group of the best performers—ANNA FRANCES CARTER. MARGIE LAWHON, KATHRYN COUCH, LOUIS DAUS, ROYCE CRABLE, FORREST GREEN. IRENE HENDERSON, LON KERBY, MAR- ILYN WESSELL. and ROBERT STERLING. Snapped as they adjusted their skates were the comic stars, GEOR- GIA HOLLAND and JACK CALCOTE. Quite a few celebrities attended this gala opening, including stars of stage, screen, and radio. A lew of them that 1 noticed were: ANNE KIRBY. JAMIE BRANSON, BETTYE AB- ERNATHY. FRANCES SMITH, RAY CRAY, CARY Mc- NUTT, VELMA SUE CREIGHTON, PATSY MASH- BURN, LESLIE JONES, JOE MEEHAN, HOWARD BASHAM, o O o o o o jpropli ropnecu + + + and MARSHALL COLE. Movie directors, L. C. COCK- MAN. ROY SELBY, and HENRY CALLENEN, were dis- cussing the fate of the starlet BARBARA MORRIS with the noted drama critic THOMAS CURRY and New York gossip columnist ANNE HARGOURT. Well-known law- yers. BOB ROGERS and JACK JENNINGS, just couldn’t seem to agree who was the better skater, RUTH HAR- RELL or CAROLYN HICKS. “ ‘Life’ Visits a Party,” the feature story of the week, was devoted to the reunion of the LRUS graduating class of 1948. The party t x k place at the Long Island estate of the multi-millionaire RICHARD STEBBINS. Invita- tions had been sent to each of the 525 members of the graduating class, but not all of them were able to attend. However, there were a large number of today’s best known people there. Seated at one of the dinner tables, I saw a number of the past L R Tiger football team, discussing next year's championship team. Coaches BILL WRIGHT and JOHN DENNIE were doing their best to convince BILL HOLLIS. JOHN HUNT, DAVID HUNTER. KBR- M1T TRACY. DON FUQUA. JACK TUCKER. JOHN WEBB, FLOYD ALMOND, and HENRY JOHNSON that the team they had chosen would come out on top. At the adjoining table sat a group of my former classmates deep in discussion on whether or not they would like to own Long Island estates, as did MARION BURTON, Wall Street financier, and WINGFIELD MARTIN, cor- poration president. Marion and Wingfield were giving very convincing arguments in favor of the estates to BUR- MA HENSON, owner of her own Eighteenth Century Costume Shop; SAM STRAUSS, playwrite; novelists GEORGE RIDDLE, LANELLE JOHNSON, KENNETH MALAMPHY, and EMILY SUE RICE, MARY LOU WEAVER, who had just published a new volume of po- ems, and Mayor of New York, JOHN NEIKIRK. Imagine how surprised I was to see the president and his cabinet sitting calmy near by. Seated from left to right, they were: JACK GRABLE, Secretary of the Treas- ury; BOB LIGHT, Secretary of War; BILL HILMES, Secretary of the Interior; CHARLES CHURCHWELL, President; JOHN ROSS. Vice-president; MINI I CAZORT, Secretary of Labor; JIMMY DODD, Secretary of State; BILLY DABBS. Secretary of Agriculture; and ROBERT CHOWNING, Secretary of Commerce. Of course, the top notch designers were holding their own little huddle. Interior decorators, THELMA POW- ELL. JOYCE PRITCHETT, ANNE ALLBRIGHT. and BARBARA BROTHERS, seemed to think that their work was more interesting than that of the fashion designers, BETTY BICKERS. SARA ALICE BOTELER, and ELEA- NOR HILL. I’d love to know how their discussion ended. S. P. STILES, noted song writer, was seated at the baby grand piano playing his latest composition for song- sters, BETH' FAYE MILLER. IDA WEIR. PAUL DAV- IDSON, MADGE DAVIS, and BRUCE DENSON. Other listening near-by were: DORIS SUE LEE, New York society woman; SUE LOCKETT LcMAY, Broadway com- edy star; PATSY IFWERSTROM, director of the New York School of Music; and New Yorks most dashing play bovs (even now). BOB PETERSON, EUGENE PIAZZA, PAUL SNODGRASS, ROBERT STOUT, and BYRON MUNN. Over in a far corner 1 spotted a group of familiar faces, looking very serious. JAMES SIEGLER, LEE FAUCETT, COLUMBUS WRIGHT. BILL ZIKAKIS. and ALFRED THOMASSON, corporation presidents, were discussing the stock market very intently. Another very serious group was seated at one of the more secluded tables. They were our foreign ambassa- dors to Spain, England, France, Germany. Japan. Russia, China, Italy. Norway, and Argentina, namely BILLY WINBURN, JOHN WALLER. VAUGHN JACKSON, LA- o O o o o o f ronh ropriecu MAR STRICKLAND. BOB PHILLIPS, JOHN NEELY, WAYNE PLUMER. POINDEXTER FISER, DAN HILL, and CARY DAVIS. Fortunately, the ten best dressed women of the year and the ten best dressed men of the year were all present, and RICHARD, our host, had succeeded in getting them to pose for a picture. The ten best dressed women for the year 1968 listed as I remembered them were: MARY ANN PLANT, our cover girl, COLLEEN KENNEDY, BARBARA BEST, PAT BURCH, MARILYN FRAZER, IMA CAPEL, CATHERINE CORWIN, NANCY PAS- CHAL. BARBARA NOBEL, and MARY EDITH TRICK- ETT. The best dressed men for 196S were: WALTER BURROUGHS, JACK THOMPSON, CLAYTON SCOTT, CARL SIMMONS, STANLEY SMITH, BOBBY JACK- SON, JIM McCLAIN, DONALD SANDERS, MIKE LONG. FRANK MACKEY. The last picture was an excellent one of the mem- ber of Who’s Who for 196S taken by Life’s photographer, W. A. MITCHELL. Those pictured were: LARRY JONES, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics; GENE WELLS, voted the greatest criminal lawyer of the year; BRUCE McBRAYER, noted English Professor at Harvard, who was honored for his essay on John Greenleef of Whit- tier; GROVER ANDREWS and RACHEL DONHAM who had just opened an art exhibit at the New York Art Gallery; JACK FROST, newly appointed Admiral of the Navy; Doctor JOBETH CANNON, famous nerve special- ist; KATHRYN FOX, actress of the year; BETTY RUN- SHANG, author of the year; BETTE MABB1TT, famous Congresswoman; best fashion designer, M ARNETT E BRANCH; RICHARD CALECHER. band leader of the year; JANIE THOMPSON, screen star of the year; CHARLES HUDGENS, best actor. RKO’s Pic Tour of the week featured the three best movies of the week. BETTY JOE LEWIS and DOT MEEKS are starring in Dance the Day Away” with ROB- ERT FORBES and JAMES WARNER with music written and conducted by FRANCES RUTH FREEMAN. The Academy Award winners, KATHRYN FITZHUGH and BILL CONRAD, can be seen in “Nana,” supported by MILDRED GARLAND. BETTY DAWSON, and JIMMY IIUDMAN. Highly recommended was “Tomorrow Is My Future,” with KAREN FORTENBERRY, BILL BECK, and HARPER EDWARDS. Among the many advertisements that filled the last few pages of the magazine was the Williams’s Wizard Washer featuring MERRELL WILLIAMS’ wash, dr)', and iron machines, followed by a very appetizing add of AR- THUR WALLACE'S Pure Pork Sausage. MARTHA LAWHORN is still as beautiful as ever, even as she stated her opinion of “Sweetheart Soap.” The new style Catalina Swimming Suits were advertized by models MARGARET PALMER, ZELMA KINCHELOE, and BETTYE STIN- SON. The lovely screen star, NANCY STOBAUGII was pictured in the advertisement of RICHARD VINSANT’S new soft drink, R. V. Cola. The Lutcn's Honey and Al- mond Cream Co.,” owned by DORA LUTEN, announced in their advertisement that MARY LOU SPRAGGINS had been engaged to make their advertising more effective. Preparations, by NANCY ANN HALL, featured the photo- graph of “Who is She?” this lovely woman whose skin glows with youth-like beauty. I recognized the model at once to be MARVEL ADAIR whose lovely face has ap- peared so often in the best fashion magazines. Another feature story gave pictures of a reception at the home of MERTHYNE ROGERS, famous Author. The occasion was a beach party, and among the guests were EDNA EARLE MELTON and IRMA CAPEL also well-known authors; and PEGGY CLOUETTE, famous newspaper woman, and SAM HERRIN, leading Inter- national Advertiser. Another article featured famous churches. One of most outstanding ministers of the United States is JIM- MY DODD. In the picture of the choir, we see such old friends as CATHERINE HICKS. VIVIAN SHELTON, and MARY ANN KINCANNON. o O o o O o f roph wpneci j As I began to feel sleep creeping over me, I closed the last page of the magazine that had brought me such welcome tidings of my former school mates and pleasant memories of the Graduating Class of 1948—a class long since gone by—but never forgotten.

Senior 5 Story Mary Lou Weaver Senior—the smiling word of glory— And behind a long, long story. How we worked and how we strived, And, last of all. how we arrived. Three long years we tread the halls Amid the storms and loudest squalls. We laughed, and yet frowned at the gory; That’s only part of our long, long story. Subjects we’ve studied, but that’s not bad. We just think of the parties we’ve had With pretty girls, and handsome lads. The best in society, and latest fods. To our teachers this dedication goes: Our love is like a red, red rose.” You’ve taught us much—that’s why we’ve here; We hope you realize we’re sincere. Soon ’twill be May of ’48, To all seniors an important date. So far—so good, all’s to our glory. And we hope the beginning of a longer story. Kathryn Murphy Dear old Alma Mater, We’ll soon be leaving you, Some to go to college: Others to things quite new. The days are long and dreary; The three long years and many more. Until the day we leave you. And then our hears are sore. When we leave you. Alma Mater, We leave our childhood, too. To go into the adult world Where problems are many and new. But even in this other world. We’ll remember the times we’ve had— The parties, picnics, and dances too. And each and every new fad. We’ll remember the times we’ve had— The teachers we thought so mean. But in our hearts there’ll Ik a place For them all, even including the “dean. Well never forget the very first day We entered our dear old “high.” We were scared to death, all of us, But we came on with a sigh. Then suddenly we were juniors; Oh! how proud we all were then. Never to be lOB’s any more But juniors! real women and men! And here at last is our senior year. The best one of them all, The last year we’ll Ik here To walk down each familiar hall. We’ll always remember this short year When every day was gay With senior parties and picture taking. And especially our own Glass Day. We’ll never forget the hustle, The scurry of graduation night— When we became real grown-ups. All dressed out in blue and white. So even though we’re leaving you. You'll always remain in our hearts. We’ll remember you forever As the place where real life starts.

The Tiger sports teams have always been a great factor in placing our school in the national spotlight of fame and honor. As far back as 1914 LRIIS began building an ath- letic program which few realized would someday become the outstanding part of our school life that it is today. Our fine record in sports has not been molded by any one person or by one group, nor did it take place in a short period of time. It is rather a record that has been attained through the years, and its maker have been those hundreds who have given their talents, their sweat, and their de- termination for the glories which they have brought to themselves and to their school. In over thirty-four years of competition LRHS ath- letic teams have been dominant in the four major sports, compiling a record of fifty-three championships. We have established perhaps the most outstanding high school track record in the nation. Between the years of 1926 and 1945 LRIIS was undefeated in track competition; and during this period we won an almost unbelievable chain of ninety- eight consecutive meets. The most outstanding individual achievement was made by Douglas Craydon in 1926, when he set a world record javelin throw of 199 feet, five inches in the National Intercholastic Track Meet held at Chicago. Just as amazing as the track record is the one which we have gained in football. It must be realized that track is an individual sport in which the performance of each single member is the controlling factor. In contrast, foot- ball is a sport in which victor)' depends entirely on well- drilled plays, precise timing, and teamwork. Football is a much more fiercely fought game than track and its record in LRHS is almost as outstanding. From the beginning in 1914 twelve titles have been won, and LRHS teams have always been high in the bracket even in the lean years. Our greatest record was estab- lished in 1946 when the squad completed the only unde- feated, untied season in the conference’s history. In bring- ing an even greater glory to the school and to the state, the Tigers went on to win the Toy Bowl championship by defeating the strong Warren Easton High School team in New Orleans, on December 23, 1946. This game, because of its originality and the prestige it gave to our school, will long be remembered by the team, by the students, and by the fans, as a most outstanding achievement in LRHS sports. The following year another state champion team was produced, and a string of thirty-two undefeated games was run up. This record has been left standing, and its continuation will be an inspiration and a goal for future teams to attain. Not only in state competition have LRHS teams com- piled a shining record. Since 1914 the Tigers have played ninety-two out of state teams winning sixty-two, losing twenty-five, and tieing five for a percentage of .674. This is a record of which no other team can boast. The basketball achievements are on an equal basis with football record. Twelve championships have been won by Tigers cage teams over a span of thirty years, and the Bengals have been runners-up in many other tournaments. The brightest years were from 1944 to 1947 in which a record of four consecutive state meets were won, and only ten games lost in this period. In the ten year period that baseball was held as a school sport LRIIS dominated play by capturing eight titles. The next few years interest in this sport lagged and and it was finally discontinued because no contest games could be scheduled. Taking over the baseball duties a group of LRHS boys formed the American Legion Dough- boys team. In 1947 this team brought great honor to the school and to the state by reaching the National finals in California, after winning titles in state, regional, and sec- tional playoffs. Possibly off to another long list of titles in the future is the LRHS swimming team composed of both boys and girls who won the state swimming meet which was held for the first time in the summer of 1947. In addition to these record accomplishments LRHS teams have also annexed various titles in lesser sports such as golf, tennis, wrestling, and boxing. Looking back on the brilliant records that have been written in our sports history, we are proud that we have done our part in helping to continue the impressive ath- letic achievements which our school has always striven for. But uppermost in the minds of all those connected with athletics in LRHS is the maintaining of the highest quality of sportsmanship, regardless of whether the game is won or lost. Turning through the records of long columns of fig- ures and names, one does not see the greatest and most glorious achievement which our sports participants have gained. It does not appear in any writing, but in the memories of all those people who have taken part in it, or who have come in contact with those who have helped build our progressive forward-looking athletic program. Tins achievement is The Love For The Game. It is the whole reason behind the hard work that has been put into making our athletics the finest and best equipped in the nation ... It is the power which inspires and drives the true athlete to his glory. Submitted by Bill Wright and Ray Hudson Approved by E. F. Quigley Athletic Director _Jt VL cune 1. Fiddler shooting.

Cheerleader cJlittle $ocb Sdicjh School Sand o o o One of the foremost bands in the nation is the Little Rock High School Band. Not only is this band noted for its fine concert music, but also for its superb marching exhibitions. Organized in 1828, the band has developed into a group which has placed in first division in all competitive events. The band has received national recognition on the radio and in movies. Because of transportation difficulties, the band made few trips during the war, but in 1947 they brought honor to LRI1S at the Tri-State Band Festival at Enid, Okla- homa. This year the band was invited to Dallas, Texas, to be guest band of the Highlander Music Festival. In order to increase music appreciation in the smaller towns of Arkansas, the band has planned a series of concerts throughout the state. This has proved to be quite suc- cessful. The Tiger and Concert Bands take part in many civic enterprises. They have been called on to perform such duties as to meet members of the Memphis, Tennes- see, Chamber of Commerce who were making a good-will tour of the South; to play for the different parades held in Little Rock; and to meet and play for visiting dignitar- ies. Radio station KLRA has sponsored a series of con- certs by the Little Rock High School Band. Proving that the fame of the band has spread far wide, the Standard Oil Company made, in technicolor, movies of the band in action. This will be released sometime this year. This year the Concert Band played its Twentieth Anniversary Concert. This annual program attracts much attention from critics, as well as music lovers, all over Arkansas The band is presented to the student body in semi-annual concerts at LRUS. Probably the main reason for the success of the band is found in the attitude of its members. Upon entering the bands, one receives a high honor. Because of this, each student takes pride in the organization and works to uphold the many traditions of the band. Band students have much school spirit and back practically all school drives one hundred percent. The band department has an average enrollment of 150 students. Two bands are organized, and each has its own rehearsal room. The Concert Band of about 80 members rehearses in the tower, and the training band, made up of the remaining students, has its quarters in room 420. Both of the organizations are very active during the school year. They furnish music for assembly programs, pep meetings, football games and numerous other activities. The band department makes annual awards to its outstanding students. To be eligible for an award a stu- dent must maintain an average grade of B for the year’s work. Good citizenship and service to the band, as well as scholarship, are considered in making these awards. The first year award is a sweater. After a student has earned the sweater, he is then eligible for the silver medal which is the second year award. The third year award is the gold medal which usually goes to only one outstanding student in the band. A. F. Lape is director of the band. Mr. Lape, LR11S alumnus, is assisted by II. E. Davis. Secretary of the in- strumental music department is Mrs. Elinor Pauli. Band members are in charge of a major portion of the different jobs in the department. Student officers are Dick Dean, president; Billy Smith, vice-president; and Mavadene Var- nell, secretary-treasurer. Phyllis Glass is the quarter- master, and Johnny Bowden is the property manager. Librarians are Eddie Lee Grady and Carolyn Parish; assistants are Billy Pye and Dorothy Kelly. Eddie Lee Grady is also the student conductor. Other duties such as folio monitors and office workers are also filled by stu- dent helpers. The Little Rock High School Band is one of the out- standing bands of the nation. The excellence of its work is demonstrated by the large number of trophies won in competition by the group. These are on display in a tro- phy case on the second floor. Little Rock High School can well be proud of this or- ganization which has brought such favorable comment not only to Little Rock, but also to Arkansas.

Organized in 1938, it has become one of the outstanding vocal groups in the nation. Its quality, spirit, and service make it the pride of the school and the state. The Choir has sung in many states and towns. It began as a picked group from the Glee Clubs, meeting after school once each week. After it was invited to be the guest performing group at the Southwestern Music Educators Conference in San Antonio in the spring of 1939. the school administration scheduled it as a credit class, and robes were then ordered for the Choir members. At San Antonio the Choir opened the Conference with a concert; then participated in the regional contest, and won highest honors. Following this, an invitation came from the Music Educators National Conference to the Choir to appear on the national program at Los An- geles, in 1940. Again the Choir was invited to be the only guest per- forming Choir at the Southwest Conference—this time in Wichita. Kansas, in 1941. The whole state showed its pride by helping the Choir to attend. State busses were provided by the Governor of Arkansas and oil companies furnished the gasoline. At Wichita the Choir made seven appearances, singing from a wide and varied repertoire. In the spring of 1942 a special train took the Choir to Hot Springs where it sang before the Southern Gov- ernors Conference. It took part in the Tri-State Clinic in Memphis in 1943; again in the clinic in Nashville, in 1944; and it was the invited choral group at the Cotton- land Festival in Memphis in 1946, at which it won the right to represent the South in the Chicagoland Festival. On April 22, 1948. the Choir left for Dallas. Texas to take part in the Highlander Festival. There, the mem- bers sang for adjudication had a part in the massed chorus, and made a broadcast with the Little Rock High School Band. In its own school and city the Choir has been of ser- vice at all times. It has sung before most of the state and regional conventions; before every civic club in the city; in many churches; for Easter sunrise services; at state music festivals; for assemblies and many other school pro- grams. The Choir has presented concerts in Benton, Russellville, Searcy, Lonoke, and Hot Springs. Many radio programs have been given by the Choir, including a national broadcast. The Annual Christmas concert sponsored by the PTA and presented at the Robinson Auditorium is one of the outstanding musical events of the city. Best of all, the members of the Choir have continued singing after leaving high school. Many have chosen music as their vocation. For example: one is soloist with the Westminster Choir; three are music majors in one col- lege; two have music scholarships at Hendrix; one is a music supervisor in Arkansas: one is teaching music in a college in Texas; one sings on the radio in South America. All are giving their talent and training in church choirs. In World War II most of the boys found their music a saving thing; they sang in all parts of the world, while members of the Choir here at home sang continually for the USO and at Camp Robinson. In these past ten years the Choir has given 271 per- formances while ensembles from the Choir have added another 257 to make the impressive total of 528 perform- ances. There have been 667 Choir members who have pas- sed their beloved robes on to new members. These new members are chosen from the Glee Clubs after prelim- inary training there, and are selected not only for voice quality, but also for dependability and industry.

In the early history of the school there were only two groups, girls glee club, and a hoys glee club. The department has grown to four classes—two beginning girls groups, an advanced girls group, and a boys glee club. Students choosing to join the vocal department, enter the beginning girls glee club and the boys glee club. No previous training is required. From these groups, students are selected to form the advanced girls glee club and the A ('appella Choir. Each of these groups has its own officers—president, vice-president, secretary. Tiger reporter, and from four to six librarians. These officers serve daily, conducting the opening of each period. Ensemble groups are chosen from each class. This year we have three girls ensembles, a girls sextet, and a boys double quartet. These small groups sing on many civic and school programs. On the annual Christmas pro- gram in December, 1947 the ensembles were combined and presented a section of the program. Accompanists are selected from the student body. They serve daily, one for each class, and share the work on the combined programs. The glee clubs and the A Cappella Choir present sever- al combined programs to the public each year. The high spot of the fall season is the annual Christmas program, usually given at the Robinson Memorial Auditorium. This is their Christmas gift to the city. It is a varied program, consisting of all types of music. The first half of this pro- gram presents material of all types. The second half is giv- en by the entire department and is of Christmas music, with a candle-light procession, and dramatics. In addition to this there are such programs as State P. T. A. Convention, Music Week, graduating vespers, graduation program program music, school assemblies and many others. Each Spring the choral department represents Little Rock High School at the State Vocal Festival held at Robin- son Memorial Auditorium. Formerly these were contests. Senior high always entered each group and solo division, and has won many honors. The festivals of today, in our state, have eleminated the contest element and the solo divisions. All entries are groups or ensembles. All rating is for personal use, and all criticism is constructive. Guest conductors and adjudicators listen to each group, offer sug- gestions, and helpful criticism. The students rehearse with these guests and give a final concert for the public. This year’s guest was Mr. Alton O’Steen, head of the music department of the University of Alabama. Little Rock High School was represented by a boys group from boys glee club, a girls group from the three girls glee clubs, and a mixed group from the choir. All eligible vocal stu- dents attended the festival and rehearsals, and took part in the final concert. Each school had prepared assigned numbers for this program. There were more than two thousand students registered for this Spring Festival on April 1 and 2. This was the crowning event of the spring term. —Miss Mary Frances Clifford We The £tu jenU We, the students of Little Rock High School, in order to provide for student participation in school government, establish better understanding between faculty and stu- dent, afford a higher training in citizenship, and help to promote a sincere respect for law and order, do establish this constitution for the Student Body Organization of Little Rock High School.” So begins the constitution of the Little Rock High School Student Body Organization; which, with four short years of existence to its credit, has passed from dream, to plan on paper, to actual materialization. These ideals embodied in the preamble, which you just read, deserve a more detailed discussion. 'to provide for student participation in school government Any school government, to be a democratic one, must be representative of the students. We are lucky to have student government at Little Rock High School. The constitution of our Student Body Organization provides for a Council in which approximately every thirty stu- dents has one representative, chosen by the students them- selves. Here, also, the students enjoy the privilege of electing their own officers. No student in Little Rock High School is without a voice in forming the policies un- der which he must abide. “establish better understanding between faculty and student,” Our system of Student Government truly accom- plishes this. It places freely elected representatives of the Student Body in direct contact with the faculty in matters which pertain to the students themselves. This is con- ducive to a clear-cut understanding, a more wholesome and straightforward relativeship between Student and Faculty. “afford a higher training in citizenship,” Good citizenship, whether it be in the state or school, depends upon respect for the rights of the individual. This implies respect for ones self, for others, and for authority. The development of these traits is an important part of our high school education. Student government offers op- portunities for free discussion of basic questions among the students themselves and with the faculty; it stimulates informal intercourse between students and teachers. Such occasions certainly afford training toward the develop- ment of those character traits which make for higher citi- zenship.” and help to promote a sincere respect for law and order” An individual’s freedom can extend only so far until it begins to encroach on the freedom of another. That is the reason for law, and the enforcement of law, which is order. Respect for law and order is essential to the maintenance of a prosperous state, a well-run school, or a successful life. Our student government organization sets itself as an example of this principle; for without law and order, it would be unorganized and ineffective. And the student himself, observing the capability of an organi- zation built on law and order, cannot fail to conceive a sincere respect for these principles. The institution of Student Government at Little Rock High School is yearly enriched and amplified by new in- terpretations. Each fresh group of leaders and partici- pants brings with it new life; and in turn, our Student Body Organization weaves yet more closely the threads of student activity into a stronger web of fellowship.

Hartley Manner’s famous play, “Peg O’ My Heart,” was the annual senior play presented by the 12A dramatic classes on May 13 and 14. Members of the cast were selected by Mrs. Mildred L. Stalnaker, senior drama instructor. Senior pupils of speech and drama classes competed against each other for the parts. The play was a delightful comedy centering around a stubborn little Irish girl named Peg. Final selections were as follows, reading from left to right: Glenn Cotham, as Alaric, self- important, young Englishman. Harhaka Sherrod, as Ethel, a young sophisticated, cold-hearted woman. Thelma Powell, as Bennett, the maid. LeRoy Finch, as Jerry, the heart- breaking lad. Ann Allbricht, as Mrs. Chiches- ter, the snobbish mother of Ethel. Steve Bostic, as Christian Brent, a ladies’ man. Kathryn Fox, as Peg. a young girl who had just kissed the Blar- ney stone. Ray Gray, as Jarvis, the foot- man. David Conrad, (absent when picture was taken) as Montgomery Hawkes, the lawyer in charge of the will. J1VZJ4S ” y, ears For fifty-four years the “LHIIS Tiger” has been the nucleus of LRUS although it was not until 1905 that it really got under way as a student newspaper, and that is the story that will lx herewith printed. In the spring of 1894, there appeared in the halls of LRUS, then Pealxxly Mign School, a small jornafistic effort contained in a five-by- six inch sheet printed on both sides. Thus tiny paper Ixire the name of the PealxKlv Tattler” and was tlx iirst publication ever put out in LRUS. At thus time there was in Pealxxly High a student whose name was Guy H. Bilheimer who had his own little print shop in his back yard. It was through him that tlx “Peabody Tattler” was first printed. Serving as editoresses” were Mitten, (.'hit-late, and LaCritique. These odd names were only pseudonyms, and the three girls were known to their friends as Nora Holt, Elsie Altenburg, and Mamie Sheet . Pursuing their efforts further this quartette soon had an eight- page periodical, with a subscription fee of five cents for every two months. As the year drew to a close and the four founders of the publication received their diplomas, the “Pealxxly Tattler” Iwirn on March 9, 1894 did not die, but in May 189 1, it discontinued publi- cation for a few years. Reappearing again in '905, the year the senior high was moved from Peabody to what is now East Side Junior High School the paper made its second debut, only this tine as the “LRHS Tiger.” For several years the paper was put out by a group of students who worked in the lioys’ cloak room. Their equipment consisted of one typewriter, pencils, paper, with plenty of persistence. Because of the hard and willing work of the first journalists of Little Rix k Senior High the ‘ riger” today is known as the “patriarch of high school papers in Arkansas.” In 1938 it was selected as an All- American pajXT, which means that it was of high standard in make- up, contents, and coverage. Also proving its value as a reliable source of information the Tiger” was one of the most important factors in the writing of a his- tory of the scluxil by a group of journalism students. They worked for one year on this history', and their efforts were rewarded as they re- ceived a national prize for the completeness of this volume. Many of the books that adorn the shelves of the school library can be attributed to the Tiger. Tlx fact of the matter is, that the sub- scriptions and other incoming revenues of the Tiger were offerer! to help support the library. Through the years departments have been added and subtracter! from the masthead of the paper. Doing this, enabled the various staffs to make a great school publication even greater. Today serving as mainstays for the “Tiger” are twelve departments, which work together and put out a paper that is capable of «Icing credit to a college. These are: news, features, sports, editorials, literary, local, make-up, society, exchange, copy, business, advertising, and circulation. Training received on the “Tiger” often proves an asset to the students as they go out into the world to make a place for them- selves. It would lx difficult t« estimate the importance of the Little Rcx k High School Journalism department, but records and time are perfect examples to lx given to the skeptics. Many Tiger reporters and editors have since come to lx regarded as great workers in their community. Manv students never set their names on the mast head, but still they work on, endeavoring t«. improve their school paper. So it is to- day. as this year draw's to a close, that the many who have «lone their share of the work should receive proper recognition. Thus from the tiny “Pealxxly Tattler with front page stories that read: “Prof, got a black eye from some source Sundav, ’ has grown the nationally famous “LRHS Tiger. It has lx en a har«l struggle through the years, but time has been g«xxl to the people who put forth every effort in making the “Tiger” the p- ,per it is tixlay. Now as we read the last word on the page of the last Tiger of the scluxil year 1947-48, we pay tribute to the undying efforts of the past staffs and give encouragement to the staffs of the future in hopes that they will continue publishing a “Tiger” that will meet the standards of •11 goo«l journalism. With these words we solemnly and peacefully look liack on the many years that it lias served the scluxil faithfully, and in knowing that it will always lx one of the greatest high scluxil publications ever put out, we lay our copies to rest in order to pre- serve them for jxisteritv. One gratifying knowledge that we have is that as long as there is a journalism department in Little R«x k Senior High School, there will lx an “LRHS Tiger, a publication which seeks to lie clean ami wholesome, and t«i serve the interests of all in its pages.

What youfoctt t Hhcu What the pupils of LRIIS don’t know is that the flies on the walls of the Tiger Room get less sleep and rest than all the other flies of LRUS put together. Now, I’m not in the habit of losing any sleep over flies, but I’ve begun to have a little heart-felt sympathy for those poor insects that have had to lose so much slumber while we put out this May’s PIX. The door to 103 is unlocked at 7:30 in the morning and is often not finally shut again until late at night. I wonder if you know what editors sound like when they’ve worked all day and way into the night? Along about that time typ- ists begin to make horrible mistakes in copy, and pictures begin to get pasted in the wrong place; then the fun begins. Make-up men and artists cease conversations, and the edi- tors stand around and bite nails that it has taken months to grow. What say we back-track a little and put you “in the know” concerning the wherefores and whys about 1948’s PIX. Okay—well have to go back into the dim past of about 1945. That was an historic date in the diaries of some 600 seniors who entered high school as freshies. A protest be- gan then and has gained momentum until some of those lowly lOB’s have finally arrived in the high senior class and have become PIX editors; at last we arc putting out the Annual that has been yelled for so long. A few days before the end of last semester, Dick Keck, a loyal alumnus of LRUS with artistic talents incomparable, stalked nonchalantly into our hole down at the end of the first floor, and had news-starved editors on their feet at once. Dick had a most news-worthy smirk written across his face. Being alert news hounds, we smelled news with a capital N. Amidst our varied, estatic comments, Dick unveiled the original dummy copy of the PIX. Rustling through the beautiful modernistic fly-leafs, we knew that we really had the beginnings of the best Annual LRUS has ever published. We knew we had graduated from the Booklet class into the Annual group. Slap-happy over the pleasant thought of giving the student body a good PIX, we began work in a maze of fluffy, pink dream clouds. We worked our little hearts to the bone—figuring out senior picture schedules, ar- ranging activity shots, making plans for sections and de- partments—progressing toward our goal at a fairly rapid pace. With all of the preliminary work done, some wheel came up with the suggestion that we have a little chat with the engravers and the printers. Little suspecting our nn- Carohjn Ward Ann Harcourt Allen Heiman Grover Andrews John Hunt known fate, the man from Peerless paid us a visit and sub- jected himself to our stupid queries and patiently explained each technical point twice so that we could catch it. When all of his comments were boiled down, it turned out that we had an Annual to be envied and that would rate with the best of them. The only hitch to the whole deal was that the cost would run into the three dimensional figures and the buying studes of LRHS have always been alergic to anything that runs in fat round sums. With plenty of salt water we began the tragic task of whittling down the bills. With our dreams smat- tered to something less than an atom fragment, our revised plans began to shape up, only this time cold logic and straight business replaced our rose-colored glasses. We chose as our ultimate goal to publish an Annual that the students will like. In no time flat, we discovered that once again we had run amuck. Pleasing the entire student body is quite an ordeal, and unfortunately, no such possibility exists that captures all of the students’ fancy. Despite our difficul- ties, we were determined in our efforts. There was a selfish slant to that, too,—not only did we want a good book for the sake of the book itself, but we also wanted a good one for the sake of the feather it would put in our caps. The last really spurred us on. Work was begun in earnest. At a meeting of the senior class on February 5, Journalism instructor Miss Edna Middle- brook addressed the seniors and put the proposition to them straight. After the bare facts concerning the actual cost of the kind of annual they wanted had been explained, the class of ’48 voted to pay $3.50 and to sell 1000 PIX to themselves and their underclassmen. It was agreed that all PIX were to be leath- er-bound, and that no paper backs would be published. Class officers hauled themselves down to our den and attested their signatures (in blood) to a little document that gave us the added assurances that we needed to push us ever onward. The advertising department recognized this little act as one means of pacifying our creditors and breathed a little easier thereafter. The weeks that followed were hectic ones—even for old hands at it like us. No one mentioned sleep, we merely drank a few more cokes and laid out a few more pages. After a while glue began to run in our veins, and senior faces leered at us from the senior pages; typists carefully and patiently corrected our spelling and got our copy ready to go to press, and lowly reporters (Bless their hearts!) kept our bodies and souls alive by running to the drugstores for cheese crackers, sandwiches, and milk. Rods, (reporters on duty) spent their time at the tele- phone fighting off the engravers and the printers—assuring them that we would meet our dead-lines. Now. let’s get around to some people whom you don't know who are responsible for your 1948 PIX. Ye Editor, one Carolyn Ward, was the work horse of the staff and holds fond memories of the departments paper cut- ter. She even had her picture made with it so that it might be etched in her Senior year memories forever. It's not likelv that Allen Heiman, our esteemed business manager, will ever regain the weight he lost pounding the streets with Bettye Faye getting ads for the book. Without Allen, were fearful that we could never have paid for our masterpiece the PIX. Ah, now for our favorite contemporary partner in crime, Ann Harcourt. Annie's an awfully small kid. but she had some awfully big ideas—good. too. About twice the size of Annie is big John Hunt. 1 doubt if Johnny will ever forget the night he and Dick Keck sat up doing lay-out work, or the cool, grey dawn at the waterworks after a night's work—on the PIX with Dick! We labeled Grover Andrews ‘old faithful’ because he gushed in so often to help us in our dire need. Homer Clark got sea-sick from so many trips to the printers with our copy and then back with the proof. Copy-reader Ray Flack coidd officially declare himself the Best Number Paster in the busi- ness. However, the numbers almost drove Sam Herrin nuts; so he took up sweeping instead. At ten on the nose, Sam would grab his favorite broom and sweep all our debris up- under Miss Middlebrook’s desk! Mert Rogers took time out from her Tiger responsibilities and pitched in and helped as did everyone else in the department. May we add. in our most humble and grateful manner, that the art work of this annual was designed by Dick Keck. LRIIS Alumnus and commercial artist. Dick not only did the fly-pages but did every lay-out page, and the dummy copy. He guided anti directed all of our feeble attempts with what we hope is success. What would we have done without our teacher. Miss Edna Middlebrook, though? She was our shot in the arm. so to speak. She fed us, encouraged us, and prodded us when need be. I shall always remember her exclusive version of Seeing Nelly Home.” With this we go to press—Roll ’em boys! And so my last line is read— Submitted by Bobby Williams. Approved by Edna Middlebrook.
