Morgan County High School - Morcohi Yearbook (Hartselle, AL)

Text from Pages 1 - 76 of the 1950 volume:

VL iuuiuu (ElaHB 4 1950 'pAMeriU 4JL Matt illorgatt Cnmttu High Srhnnl Hartm'llr, Alabama 3 n r p u it r ft The staff of the Morcohi for 1950 wishes to take this opportunity to thank both the faculty and the student body of Morgan County High School for their whole-hearted cooperation in producing this annual. We hope that each and every one of you will receive many hours of pleasure in the coming years as you use this book to revive your memories of school days and school friends. Miss Sue Oden, under whose guiding hand and watchful eye this Morcohi was constructed. Without her advice and much-needed help, it would probably never have grown from infancy. Miss Oden is head of the Commercial Department at M. C. H. S., teaching typing, shorthand, and office practice. We could not ask for better instruction. We owe thanks to Miss Oden for many things, but most of all for her patience and good humor throughout the days of work on this annual. She is a wonderful person. We Seniors of M. C. H. S. want to wish you all the happiness in the world, Miss Oden. Good luck.

C. H. S. with a determination to make themselves noted in all possible fields. We got off to a fine start and when we were ninth graders, we won a school singing contest. We also presented a Christmas chapel program. When we became Sophomores, we snagged another honor when our class representatives, Charles Smith and Louise Day, won the Harvest King and Queen contest. We’re proud of our good looks. This year our float won first prize in the Homecoming parade. Oh, yes, we’ve still got our energy, as you will see when we climb into the S niors’ saddle next year and take the reins of the dear o'd Morcohi nag and pull her through accomplishments not yet known.

We must be a handsome bunch of kids, ’cause every time we turn around they want out pictures for the annual! Oh, well, I guess it just runs in the family. After all, our class is just one big, happy family. Our family increased this year with e’even students from Flint, six from P.ainview, and four from Cak Ridge. We were really glad to have them because we always say, The More the Merrier.” Sometimes I think Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Barclift wish that saying was never composed, but it was people like these two good old - - (well, cr - - let’s see) souls (fooled you. didn’t I?) who have pushed us on as far as we are If there arc no changes in plans and report cards we will be Juniors (ready to beat the Seniors in the magazine sales), ready to cover new ground and move on to greater achievements next year. —Sue Carol Orr Did You Learn This In P.

We have two home rooms, with Mr. Woodruff and Mrs. Cain as home room teachers. We started off our Jr. I year in 1948 with flying colors by winning the Flarvest King and Queen Contest for Junior High. We are very fortunate this year to have one of our classmates elected as cheerleader for the second year. We are really proud of her too. She is none other than Louise Thrasher! We have had a few hardships in the past, such as being mashed to a pulp in the halls. But this year we are in the new building. We really like it too. Sometimes we feel we will never reach the 12th grade, but if we keep struggling and do as well in the future as we have in the past, maybe we will reach that goal someday. —Ann Turner 1st Row: Wreatha Adcock, Mary Faye Reithmier, Gayle Clemons, Josephine Legg, Lou Esther Goodwin, Peggy Battles, She'by Flowers, Doris Puckett, Jean Clemons, Margie Slate, Louise Thrasher.

So you sec, we arc different from the start. As a class we have taken part in all school activities. We played the gram- mar school in football this year and won. Maybe some of those stars ' will be going out for football in a few years. • We are proud of the fact that we are the first seventh grade class to use the new building.

Fourteen seniors witnessed their last game of high school football with the Morgan County High School Tigers on November 24, 1949, at the annual Turkey Day clash between the Tigers and the Red Raiders of Decatur, in Decatur’s high school sta- dium. The Tennessee Valley Conference Champion handed the Tigers a 5 5-14 defeat cn a soggy grid- iron which found the boys of H. L. Paul unable to use their passing attack which was so effective in the majority of the games played during the season. Although six other teams were victorious over Morgan’s eleven, they were a bunch of hard-fighting, inspired players who put everything they had into every game, only to come out on the short end of scores such as the game with Moulton, which tlr latter won by a score of 7-6, and the final home- game for the Tigers with Lincoln High of Huntsville winning 7-0. Despite their losses the Tigers chalked up three victories during their ’49 schedule. The opener with Sylvania saw the Tigers draw their first blood by racking up a 33 - 13 victory. Two games later they handed Cherokee High a 31 - 0 defeat, and after dropping the game with Moulton, they won from West Huntsville 19-6. Stephenson and Kracke led the Tigers on offense during the season with brilliant assistance from their running mates McClanahan, Howard and Proctor. Morgan’s fore- wall, composed of Weaver, Cook, Holmes, Pickens, White, Hall and Summerford, was small but hard- charging, and had that old fighting spirit; however, they were outweighed in nearly every game which was a factor that proved to be against them throughout the season. Other seniors, including Bennett. Roan, Hogan, and Drake saw action during the season. But win or lose, the Tigers were a spirited team and that old spirit of '’never say die” was th re in every game, with the team, and with those who followed the team. Coaches H. L. Paul and John Stair never stopped drilling the team and instructing them in every way possible until the last day of the season. Credit is given to the coaches for their splendid work and spirit of cooperation during the hard-fought but disappointing football season of 1949. Coach Paul ended his second season with the Tigers as head coach. Coach Stair ended his first season as assistant coach at M. C. H. S. As basketball season rolled around the Tigers sharpened their claws in their first game by dropping Danville 28 - 26. A close game, but it marked the beginning of what looked to many fans as another successful basketball season. Last year the Tigers went to the State Tournament in Tuscaloosa, the first team ever to advance that far in the history of M. C. H. S. The Tigers’ record was 26 victories over 4 defeats. This year, as the annual goes to press the Tigers have won five and lost only two games; one to Cold Springs by a 32-31 count and a disappointing 48 - 22 score to their old arch-rivals, Decatur. The I iger Cubs (Juniors) haven’t gotten off to such a good start this season, not being able to account for a single win. This is due to their inexperience, but they are eager and willing to learn and such qualities go in the making of a good ball club. Both teams, under the leadership of Coaches Paul and Stair will again be looking for honors in the tournaments in which they will take part. Here’s wishing the best of luck to them!
