History of Cnr Class Our class entered the threshold of Mitchell lligh School with ll7 members. Me regret that we have only 52 left out of our original number. On November lo, 1941, we were all very sorry to hear that Madge Smith, one of our classmates. had been fatally injured in an automobile accident. Uncle Sam has also taken his quota of our boys. VVe have eleven boys who like to swim and like the smell of salt water, so they are in the Navy. Three boys prefer khaki to navy blue. so they are doing their bit in the Army. That leaves two other sky-minded boys, James Fox and Mike Quigley, who were taken from our class this year to become members of the Air Corps. Eleven of our members have moved, nineteen have quit school, and Dan Cupid's arrow has struck the hearts of seventeen of them. XYe won the Homecoming Queen Contest three consecutive years, and among our other celebrities were the basketball players: Raymond Tanksley, David Deckard. Vvayne Mayden, Mike Quigley, and Dewey Magner. The Junior-Senior Prom was tops in entertainment. From experience, we know the work, the suspense. the thrills, and the fun that this reception provides. Even though we have had difficulty in keeping our members, we are sure we still have one of the greatest classes that has ever graduated from Mitchell High School.

Our candidate in the popularity contest, held at the annual Fun Frolic, was Virginia Stroud, and juanita McAlpin was in the court of the Homecoming Queen. Dale Shipman, yell leader representing the junior class, joined the Arniiiv Air Corps. Other class members in the service are Gillis Duncan, Bill Neal, Xvayne Corbett, james Tomlinson and Glen Woocls. J The class earned money for the prom by selling schedule pencils, stationery, and sponsoring a movie, The Light That Failed. i On April 21, the juniors entertained the seniors at a Derby Prom with Uhorsey clecorationsu and a setting suggestive of Churchill Downs, the scene of the Keni- tucky Derby. A swing band from jasper and a floor show entertained the guests at the swanky club house and the grand march was led by the junior president and the senior prom queen. Sophomore Class The officers of the sophomore class are: president, jack Mann, vice-president, Kenneth Tanksley, secretary, Maxine Connell, treasurer, Barbara Conley. The sophomores ranked well in school contests this year. The sophomore can- didate for homecoming queen was Odette Kallas. The candidate for popularity queen was Agatha McPherson. ln both contests we ran second, although in 1942 our candidate, Maxine Connell, won the popularity contest. The sophomore softball team won the intra-mural tournament. They ranked second in basketball and third in the field day activities. Mary F. Parks, the new yell leader, is a member of the sophomore class. NVe hope that we shall be able to have a record of high standing throughout our high school years. Freshman Class Well, here we are-the freshman class of Mitchell High School. VVe have Worked hard for eight years and here we are, in high school. VVe feel quite proud of ourselves, too. The Victory Queen came from our class. In fact, she is our president, jeannine Rosenbaum. Our other officers are: jill Forldrill, vice-presi- dent, and joan McNeely, secretary. VVe are 123 in number and have furnished the second team with some of its best players, Lloyd Holt, Billy Clemons, junior Neal, Bob Clouse, and Ernest Rayhill. The freshmen also did well in holding their place on the honor roll, and if it were not for the freshman class, our band would have quite a few bare spots. To the in-coming freshmen, we wish to say we hope your first year in high school will be as wonderful as ours has been. So here's to the Baby Class of Mitchell High. CHARLOTTE ANN BEER-joax MCNEELY.

Pane T1l'F71f,X'-Iigig Activities 'C tw 'if' 'ls P11111 The High School Band September, 1943, found a good enrollment for the Mitchell High School Band. The students came in good spirits, and the band was off to a good season. Those who were in the band the preceding year were missed, but new members were present to make their contribution to the music life of Mitchell High School. Early in the season new music was obtained, which helped the morale of the organization. Everyone worked zealously at the job of preparing good programs for the basketball games. These programs brought forth many commendable ex- pressions from the spectators. When the basketball season closed a choice selection of concert music was on hand and all members of the band went to work with enthusiasm to prepare for the annual spring concert, to be given May Sth in observation of Music VVeek. The enrollment in the band this year was forty-seven. ROW 1-V. Dalton, G. Ramey, B. Erwin, C. King, H. Moore, j. Braman, C. VX'oocls, B. Byers C. Thralls. ROW 2-W. Carroll, I. McNeely, J.

The original members of the band had learned enough of the fundamentals of music that they were able to make an intelligent approach to their band work. The band made exceptional prog- ress and is now capable of playing good quality music. New members are being added frequently. This is encouraging because it assures the perpetuation of our band program on a high plane. The juniors prepared some excellent numbers for the annual spring concert and contributed their bit in providing entertainment for the music lovers of our community. Row 1-W. Holt, G. Ramey, C.

The board of directors consists of the president, Asa Terry, the vice-president, Mary Elizabeth Brown, the secretary-treasurer, James Sherwood, and the head of each of the following departments: salesmanship, stenographic, typing, accounting, and general business. As shown on the mimeographed programs for the year, each department gives a program. The club invited guests for a Christmas party. The typing department of the club gave an assembly program showing the variations of rhythm in typing to popular music. Girls' Athletic Association The Girls, Athletic Association, under the direction of Miss Stroud, is made up of all girls taking part in the physical activity program of the school. The club had one hundred twenty-live members the tirst semester and one hundred live members the second semester. Its activity program was made up of basketball, baseball, volley ball, dodge ball, folk and square dancing, relays, ping-pong, bad- minton, shuffle-board, quoits, calisthenics, marching, indoor and outdoor games, stunts and some tumbling. During the year the club had three parties-a treasure hunt and chili supper in the fall, a Christmas party and a spring dance. All the girls belonging to the club the second semester gave a May Day program for the school and visitors from the town. PanfAmerican Club The Pan-American Club was organized for the third time this year. Tts activities have been devoted largely to cultivating an interest in Latin-American countries. As a special project club members sold tickets to the HGay Ninetiesl' show, which was given for the benefit of the visual aids program of our school.

Page T'zt'rJ1ty-.trwll Sunshine 0fHcers Sunshine Society The Sunshine Society, since its organization on November 9, 1929, has been one of the most prominent clubs of Mitchell High School. lts purpose is to spread sunshine and to give each girl a definite organization to which to belong. Each year the club has a very impressive initiation for the new members. The new girls are given ribbons of yellow and white. The yellow stands for the sun and the white stands for purity. They are also given small candles to represent the warmth and the light of the sun. The club has for many years provided for the care and maintenance of the rest room. This year we bought Venetian blinds to help brighten up our room. Our club took an active part in the drive against tuberculosis, purchased some material to be used in bettering our girls' dressing room, and bought a popcorn machine for the school. This year we sponsored a style show for all the girls and their mothers. The show, which was held April 25, included a wartime wardrobe for students made from patterns by all pattern companies. We hope the Sunshine Society will continue to spread rays of sunshine throughout Mitchell High.

Everyone becomes a consumer and makes purchases at an early age. Since it is impossible to study all purchases, we can be informed as to what to look for when making a purchase. The consumer does not know in all cases what to buy, how much to pay and when to buy. The task of making a purchase bewilders him. lt is the aim, through giving proper information, to change the expression of be- wilderment to one of assurance when the consumer goes to make a purchase.

We regret to have lost our junior cheer leader, Dale Shipman, who answered Uncle Sam's call earlier in the season. Lf Second Team Mitchell's seconds will be a team to watch in future games. They have only been defeated once and that was in an overtime, The team has been skillfully and carefully trained by our coach. They should be the answer to a coach's prayer be- cause they have height, speed, and accuracy in hitting the basket. Mitchell is ex- pecting great things from this team in the future. The game the second team lost to Salem was avenged when the little bluejackets defeated Salem's second team in a thriller at Salem.
