H. S., I was re- called from the land of memories by the loud ringing of the telephone. This proved to be a reporter from the Madisonville Messenger wanting information about our graduating class of ’27. This being given, I found myself again before the fire soon so engrossed with my thoughts that I was unconsciously carried back to the beginning of my Freshman year. It was four years ago that 37 Seniors of the 1927 class started on the long road to knowledge. We may have been as ignorant as all other Freshies, but none were ever so proud and fortunate as we who were the first to enjoy the privileges of the new high school building. Our verdant crowd was destined to get much exercise in keeping out of the way of the proud Seniors who were only too glad to “put us in our places.” With strong determination we strugg’ed over the rough and uneven road to our Sophomore year, already beginning to feel our importance. Our difficulties, worries and temptations were many, but we bravely trudged ahead to gain the laurels which would be ours. During this year Edna Isabella Taylor brought fame to the class hy winning the “West Kentucky Oratorical Contest.” At this time we became interested in athletics, and many of our boys went out for foot ball. Our accomplish- ments were not so few and obscure that one need seek long for them, for we always did our part in everything both good and bad. About this time Stephen Dimond joined us and it was rather noticeable that Pauline Townes immediately began curling her hair, and wearing Hame colored dresses, to bring forth her ardent beauty. As full Hedged Juniors we entered into our work in earnest. Our number remained about the same and our spirits soared to the thoughts of the next year, when we would be dignified Seniors. Probably we ac- quitted ourselves with credit, for we continued on and on until as the Junior class of M. FI. S., we stood ready to prove to all, our worth, both in the realm of books and on the athletic field. Captain Waddill and his fol- lowers fought bravely throughout the vear. The Girl Reserve Club, of which many of our class were members, accomplished many useful and worthwhile things, during this year. By this time we had bravely taken our stand against the powers that be. Mr. R. E. Henry, now became our instructor in mathematics, and until we became accustomed to his vigorous actions and willful manners, we entered his classes with rapidly beating hearts and scared looks. But for all that his classes were made doubly interesting. Today we represent the graduating class of 1927. We have reached the highest pinnacle of these four years, to the days we have long looked forward. Faithfully we have labored, led by our able instructors, until 28 iM MAROON IV. CLASS HISTORY, Continued now we stand upon the very threshold of that glorious day, when we shall hid farewell to our high school days and prepare ourselves for the greater struggles and joys through life. Soon after school began we held a class meeting and elected our offi- cers. W. J. Harris was chosen president; Idita Arnold, vice-president; Maudie Murphey, secretary and treasurer. We voted to publish rn Annual and the staff was elected with Clifton Waddill as editor-in-chief and Herschel Oldham, business manager. Fame has already come to the various members of our class along the different lines of their choice. Those members all being wonderfully valuable and some of them very costly. There is our “Dimond,” a price- less stone; then our famous musicians, Mabel Harris and Robert Cates; lightning brained mathmaticians, Russell Ray, Pauline Townes; silvertoned orators, William Grant, Edna Isabelle Taylor; Heet and agile athletes, Betsy Simpson, J. B. Denton, and Clifton Waddill. We are never hungry because of a lack of “Old-Ham,” and we have strength enough for two classes our size,—It’s “Oogley Woogley” strong man, no other than Herschel Oldham can you imagine it? As to our accomplishments, we have always contributed our share in athletics. Among our foot-ball men we have this year’s captain Waddill, Oldham, Dimond, Haywood, Denton, Pritchett, Wells, Tali ferro and Johnson. In our girl’s athletics we are proud indeed to have as our repre- sentative Betsy Simpson, Captain of the first team. In debate, oratorical and declamatory contests our class has been well represented. Several of our girls are members of the Girl Reserve Cabinet, and, of the three years this club has been organized, two of its presidents have been mem- bers of our class. At the beginning of this year we were glad to have three new mem- bers join us. They were William Grant, who proved to be very studious; Hubert Reid, formerly from Henderson; and Jess Johnson, the young Romeo from Chicago, who lost no time in finding the fair Juliette, no oth- er than Betsy Simpson, who ever after was well supplied with “Johnson’s Sweet Chocolates.” Our class activities began Christmas this year with a banquet and those present besides the class were Mr. and Mrs. Karr Ramsey and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Umstead. Everyone had a wonderful time. We are rejoicing as commencement draws near, but no Senior will bid farewell to this dear old school without regret. Our faithful advisor Mrs. Umstead, who has been with us through these four years, whose efforts in our behalf have been so untiring, has taught us Latin, and music to her soul has been our inflections of verbs and nouns as “amo, amas, amat.” To her and to the entire faculty we owe our deepest appreciation for the heights we have attained.— Ruth Ezell, Historian 29 Iraki MAROON IV. m t-i.r. v.v.rYg r-Yrr.y;? ■ ra-«-v m -i-T t-i i-i Class Song By Mabel Harris 1 Once more we meet, School life is sweet, Friends can’t you see how we feel; W e love you still, We always will— You have the same old appeal.

THOMAS MAURINE ARMSTONG £LJ 0 93'. 35 Junior Class History We, the members of the Class of 1928, like all other Freshmen, were trembling when we walked into the great hall of learning in Septem- ber of 1924. Our Freshman year was spent in the usual manner; on the one hand we were full of egotism over our entrance into H. S.; on the other we were awestuck with the severity of the faculty, the dignity of the Seniors and the wisdom of the Sophomores. In spite of the difficulty of this period of adjustment, however, we survived and by the end of our second semester we were perfecty at home in the new High School building. Next came our Sophomore year; we felt older, more important and as the name indicates we were so sophisticated. Oh ! how we enjoyed telling those “Freshies” that they had a hard road to travel. We can all plead guilty of saying to some Freshman, “You have to walk a straight line in R. E. Henry’s classes. You have our sympathy. We are now Juniors, numbering thirty-five, with just one more year in M. H. S. We felt very important when we voted recently for a Ly- ceum Course for our Senior year; we seemed all the more important be- cause our own group teacher; Mrs. Ramsey, discouraged us in this project. She has had more experience with Lyceum Courses than we have and, as she said, her experience has made her a sadder and a wiser woman. In ahtleties, we are right there. We have contributed a number of players both to foot-ball and basket ball. Louis Finley, “Son” Claytor, Roy Royster, Frances Melton and Goldie McEuen are outstanding mem- bers of our splendid basket ball teams. Oh ! no, Seniors you are not the only ones who have stood on the sidelines waving the Maroon and Black, for we have stood shoulder to shoulder with you in the greatest battles ever fought in our M. H. S. In fact our enthusiastic support of all Extra-Curricula activities ranks with the skill of our players. We are truly representatives of Hopkins County, for a lot of us, who would have you think we are regular “city slickers” are natives of the outlying districts. White Plains and the far famed “Curtail” are represented by Clyde McIntosh and Grace Crick. After Grace came, we were not surprised that her neighbor from the nearby mud Hats of Nortonville—one Garland Furgerson, should cast his lot among us. Mortons Gap has always sent her quota of desirable students. To this class she contributed Oscar Lovan, the studious J. B. Thomas, who doesn't know any better than to take auto rides with Reckless Seniors, and Mary Louise Brown, who is always in danger of failing. The Walnut groves of Suthards gave us the jumping Kangaroo, Louis Finley. The hills of Richland are the native heath of Sallie Ashby; St. Charles gave us James Robinson; Earlington sent us James L. Smith; Dixon, Ky., was the loser when Frances Melton cast her lot among us, and Ashbyburg, the home of the Carlyles, has loaned us Nannie Mae. In closing our brief history we would commend the Class of ’27, for their splendid record and particularly for giving the High School this Annual. Our hope is that in falling heir to their position, we may acquit ourselves with equal honor. 30 niMNOUNCINC THE 38 . MAROON IV. m- J£smdi__________ RK V-=t-rTX PTJPT -H.Y-Y CY-t-T- Y-T-M - Eir-r.

The final score was 14 to 13. The Maroons started the game with a rush when Melton shot a short one. They kept the lead during the entire game except in the last two minutes when Paducah shot two goals. With twenty seconds to play, Simpson shot a foul that tied the score. An extra five minute period was played; it was in this brief time that Iglehart pitched a foul that won the game. The Maroon Girls were defeated by the Henderson Quin ette in the semi-finals. The Maroons kept the lead up until the half. In the in- termission the Flash coach evidently gave the running guard instruc- tions to get loose and shoot. In the first few minutes she scored three field goals. This won the game for them. LaCenter started on their march to victory by defeating the Maroon boys. The Maroons took the lead early in the game and held it until the second quarter when Harris, center on La Center team, got going and won the game. Even if we did not win the regional tournament we made people re- alize we were on the map. Miss Roberta Iglehart, phenominal back guard for the M. H. S. girls was ceded to be the best girl guard of the tournament, and was unanimously picked for the mythical regional team, chosen by the Varsity Club of Murray State Normal School. Miss France Melton and Kenneth Bennett of the M. H. S. were given honor- able mention. The Maroon girls were given a silver trophy for the best sportsmen- ship displayed during the tournament. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT The District Tournament which was held at M. H. S. was a success from every standpoint. The Maroon Boys started the first game of the tournament by de- feating Dawson. The Maroon Girls played next and in a hard fought battle defeated Princeton. That night the Maroon Boys and Girls played against Hoptown boys and girls. The games were two of the most interesting of the tour- nament. Both Maroon teams showed unusual skill and came out victors. The finals were played between Maroon boys and Pembroke, Ma- roon girls and Earlington. Every Madisonville fan expected that the Maroon boys would heat Pembroke, but the manner in which they did win greatly exceeded all expectations. Our Boys took the lead at the very start, and from there on were absolutely unstopable. The Girl's game gave an exhibition of the best defensive tactics ever seen in a local net battle. The teams covered themselves with glory and the final score was very close. All Madisonville is very proud of the two cups our teams won and we expect the same thing to be done next year.

H. S. Our Girl Reserve Club was organized in the Fall of 1924 with Miss Gertrude Willis as advisor and Bessie Patterson as our first president. For our loci’1 purpose, we strive to create a spirit of Christian Fellowship among the g'rls of Madisonville High School and in all of our club ac- tivities and in our school life we have before us our club code: AS A GIRL RESERI’E I IE 11 A. RE Gracious in Manner Impartial in judgment Ready for service Loyal to Friends.
