OlME shall not erase that which these pages record, but only time shall tell whether the purpose by which this book was inspired has been worthy. If, in years to come, these pages shall serve to awaken fond memories of Murphy High School and to kindle anew in our hearts the ideals upon which it has been builded, the aim of those who now present this volume will be realized. CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION CLASSES SCHOOL LIFE ORGANIZATIONS ATHLETICS ADVERTISEMENTS DEDICATION TO ROY R. WILKIE WHO HAS BEEN THE FRIEND AND ADVISOR OF OUR ANNUAL. THROUGH ITS MANY STRUGGLES AND TRIALS AND WHO HAS BY HIS MANY EFFORTS MADE OUR ANNUAL A BETTER ONE. WE AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATE THIS. THE SEVENTH VOLUME OF THE MOHIAN. PAGE 9 THEME The theme of the 1933 Mohian is the world famous Azalea. The history of Mobile’s Azalea is closely interwoven with the thread of Mobile’s own romantic history and dates back to the founding of the city in 1711 by the French under the leadership of Jean Baptiste LeMoyne, Sieur de Bienville. Fifise Langlois, who came to Mobile as a lad with his father and mother, under Bienville grew to young manhood in the newly established colony. He returned to France in 1754 to visit his grandparents in Toulouse. Azaleas were blooming in the gardens when he arrived. Fifise Langlois is responsible for the Azalea being brought back to Mobile. The history of Mobile’s Azaleas comes from the family records of Francois Ludgere Diard, a direct descendent of Fifise Langlois, now living in Mobile, and from other carefully authenticated sources. A MOBILE AZALEA PAGE 12 PAGE IS PAGE 16 ADMINISTRATION i9 -THE MOHIAN-33 MR. K. J. CLARK. M. A. Coming to Murphy High School after a varied and successful training in exacting education positions in Virginia and elsewhere, Principal K. J. Clark brought to the community the ripened fruits of native capacity and technical experience. The sud- den expansion of Murphy High from a small group of students to more than 2,300 has made the position of principal one of foremost importance. Its administration is comparable in its demands and difficulties to that of a college of similar enrollment. Mr. Clark has filled the position adequately, not only as executive officer and school man, but also as a real leader and mentor of minds and character in process of form- ulation. Most important in the building of Mobile is the architecture of the minds and characters of its citizens. In that respect Principal Clark is building basically and significantly for the community. There is no doubt that the influence of this institution will measurably raise the quality of citizenship in Mobile. Mr. Clark is ever ready to find time among his necessary engagements to assist in enterprises designed to benefit the city and county of Mobile. The parents of Mobile may con- gratulate themselves that their maturing youngsters are in such capable charge. PAGE 18 «•THE MO HI AN-33 t '( ? 't t MISS MAE EANES In every home in Mobile, Mae Eanes has exercised an influence for Rood, that cannot be evaluated in mere words. Since 1889, thousands of children, now men and women, have been brought in close contact with her and have felt the influence of her unusual mind, indominable will power, and God-given understanding. Miss Mae Eanes was born in Mobile, educated in the public schools, and graduated from Barton Academy. Miss Mae, as she is known in the school world, began teaching in 1889, having taught in all grades. She has been assistant principal of what is now Murphy High School, for the past 17 years. Her rare personality, which inspires confidence, love, and respect, enables her to spread her good influence far and near. Her efforts in the welfare work of Murphy High School are so outstanding, that it has enabled many children to complete their high school education. No greater trib- ute can be paid to our dear Miss Mae than to say that she is a friend of all of us, and that we will feel her guiding influence through-out our lives.

The Commercial Department The purposes of the Commercial Department are: To prepare students to hold salaried positions with ever-increasing benefit to themselves and to the business with which they are associated; to inspire them with ambition to succeed, either as man- agers or as entrepreneurs, to positions of business leadership; to impress upon them the vastness of the business field and the varied opportunities for achievement to be found therein; to create among them a realization that they may expect, as a rule, to succeed in direct proportion to the service they render society; to assist capable graduates to secure positions and to follow them through the years immediately succeeding graduation. Constant effort has been made during the past ten years to materialize the idealism embodied in this statement of aims and these efforts have been attended by a gratifying measure of success. Class teaching, club training, and employment assistance, supplemented by efforts to arouse the business community to a proper appreciation of the department, have resulted in giving Murphy’s business department a splendid reputation among the employers of its graduates.

The English Department e Schools exist to develop and direct the lives of boys and girls so that they may become good citizens. The English course, aiming to contribute to this one general end, plans through language-composition and through reading-literature, to produce the following outcomes: mastery of language activities in life, development of right attitudes, and discrimnating reading habits. The Department, in efforts to improve teaching methods and pupil guidance, has published “Fundamentals in English” and “English Course of Study.” To the regular English courses have been added the following for gifted pupils: Creative Writing; Dramatics; and Journalism, all for upper classmen. Among the extra curricula activities of the English Department are the publications, Mohian and Mobile Hi Time ; and the clubs, Contemporary Poetry club, Dramatics, and International Honorary Journalistic Society. Various contests, for example, National Awards, U. D. C., Gorgas Memorial, stir the ambition of the youthful writers. The hope of the department, as a whole, is so to improve its methods that the pupils will not only have command of fundamental processes and a better grasp on and a happier view of life, but that they will also make greater contributions to worthy home membership and to civic usefulness.

Industrial and Fine Arts Department Industrial Arts Education includes Woodworking, Metalworking, Machine Shop, Auto Mechanics, Printing, Mechanical Drawing, Machine Drawing, and Architectural Drawing. The purpose of these courses are: To give experiences and information which will contribute to the general education of the individual; to give an outlet for creative impulses and to add an interest and incentive for attending school; to develop an appreciation of work and workmanship from both the viewpoint of the worker and the consumer; to develop some degree of skill in using tools; to give incidental vocational guidance. For the most part, these aims are taught through the making of useful projects which may be taken home by the pupil. Vocational education in Murphy High School is represented by only one course, that of Auto Mechanics. The purpose of this course is to teach a trade to those boys who have definitely decided to abandon the regular high school subjects and to prepare them- selves to earn a living at a trade. The boys spend one-half their time in actual Auto- mobile work and one-half their time in work related to the subject. When the boys complete the two year course they are given a certificate enabling them to enter the trade as an advanced apprentice. Art education in Murphy High School has as its aims and general objectives the following: To engender a love of beauty; to de- velop good taste; to enrich life and train for leisure; to gratify the desire to create; to encourage talent. These aims are taught through actual experiences and observa- tions given in the following courses: Freehand Drawing, Advanced Freehand Draw- ing, Commercial Art, and Applied Art.

The Language Department The Latin department has three full time teachers: Misses Duffee, Heustis, and Tait, with Miss Richards assisting with two classes. The Latin work is intended to cooperate with English, by enlarging its vocabulary, by tracing the relationship be- tween Latin and English words, and by stressing technical English grammar; with History, by furnishing a background of Roman life, literature, and military achieve- ments; with the Art department by its architecture, sculptures, road and bridge building. But perhaps the greatest claim that Latin has for recognition in the modern curriculm is its cultural motive to add to the practical and commercial side of edu- cation and a subject which may lead to a purely intellectual pleasure or satisfaction— “Art for art’s sake.” Four years of Spanish are offered. The first two years are devoted to the study of Spanish and Spanish-American customs and to practice in understanding and expressing thought in the language. In the third and fourth years Spanish literature is studied. Interest in the language is maintained by the reading ol Spanish newspapers and magazines by correspondence with students in Spanish- speaking countries and by participation in the programs of “El Club Hispanoameri- cano.” Three years of instruction are offered here in French. In the first year grammar is stressed along with the reading of simple stories. In the second year grammar is continued but more emphasis is placed on the reading of a four act play and an historical novel. The third year offers principally reading of books and plays together with French conversation and composition based on the texts. PAGE 23 19-THE MOHIAN-33 Sc later: Brown. B. A.: Cox. B.

The Mathematics Department The Mathematics department of Murphy high school consists of fourteen teach- ers and about five-hundred pupils in arithmetic and 1000 in the other branches of mathematics. These branches include two years of algebra, one and one-half years of geometry, one-half year of trigonometry and one year of arithmetic. Although mathematics is not required for graduation it is taken by nearly every student for at least one year while the ones that are going to college take two years or more. This course is as extensive as given in any high school in the country, except technical high schools and a student who takes four years of mathematics can enter any school without an examination in mathematics except, the highest technical schools such as Annapolis, West Point, and Massachusetts School of Technology. The aim of the department is well described in the Report on the Reorganization of Mathematics in Secondary Education: “The primary purpose of the teaching of mathematics should be to develop those powers of understanding and of analyizing relations of quantity and of space which are necessary to an appreciation of the progress of civilization in its various aspects, and to develop those habits of thought and of action which will make these powers effective in the life of the individual.

The Physical Education Department The progressive physical education program today tries to combine physical and mental education. It is being realized that the child can not be taken apart and each part developed independently of any other part. The child must be developed as a whole. Therefore the aims and objectives in Physical Education and Education should be the same. We can not take on education but education must come from working desires and instincts, it is an internal development. The finer things in manhood and womanhood can not come from formal calisthenics-gymnastics but controlled situa- tions must exist where the boy or girl will have a chance to react to those situations in the desired way with a resultant satisfaction. Our Physical Education program incorporates the aims of general Education, the activities are based on the finding of a physical examination given to each pupil taking Physical Education. Advice is given on the improvement and corection of acquired or inherited defects. Pupils are required to attend health lectures once each week. These lectures are supple- mented with visual aids. Special lunches are provided for the decidedly under- nourished. A heavy Intra-mural program is sponsored so that all pupils in school can have an opportunity to play and learn how to take advantage of leisure time in later years. In short, we try to teach a wholesome healthful way of living and to take advantage of the finer offerings of life. PAGE 25 19-THE MOHIAN-33 Driver. B. A.: Baxter. B. S.: Crnddock. B. A.; Fulcher. B.

The Science Department The Science department of Murphy high school offers four courses or units of study, two of which are required for graduation. Of these two units one is required in General Science, the freshman year, and the other may be selected from any one of the three laboratory sciences: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. This program of science does not propose any sequence of courses and a pupil may choose to elect more than one laboratory science. Each is complete unto itself. Guiding principles of the science courses should be: To teach the adolescent boy or girl to think scien- tifically; to create in the pupil an appreciation of the scientific achievements of the world and of the scientists who have achieved; to correlate science with the problems of his everyday life and teach the scientific ideas so that the pupil may carry them over into his or her actual life situations; to give him a deeper appreciation scientific- ally of the industrial life of his environment; and to teach him values of health, worthy use of leisure, and the accurate command of fundamental laws and processes. All of which will lead into a truer and more worthy type of citizenship. PAGE 26 i9-THE MOHIAN-33 Wither� : Alexander. M. A.; BreitlinK. B. S.: Breland. B. A.; I .-villus . B. S. Forehand, M.

The Social Science Department e The fundamental purpose of this department is to help boys and girls to become intelligent, trustworthy citizens in a changing civilization; to inspire them with cour- age for the right, and with skill to lead, or to follow right leadership. To accomplish this, they search world movements of the past and present, study the development and policies of people and nations, and note policies that have proved valuable or useless, economically sound or wasteful. The department maintains in each class- room, a number of supplementary texts, collateral readings and source books for reference, and encourage the constant use of the school library. The pupils of this department usually enter the National Oratorical Contest on the Constitution, and in 1929 won the state prize of $500. In 1931 four of the pupils won prizes offered by the U. D. C.’s of the state. To celebrate the Washington Bi-centenial, the depart- ment last year, bought the Eastman Teaching Film, George Wa� hington,—Hi Life and Time . The Local Interest Club is an extra curricular activity of the history pupils. Local history is featured in the club meetings. The members each year make a scrap book, which they present to the school library. In 1932, they dramatized Alexander Meek’s poem, Red Eagle, and illustrated the book with original drawings of Lila Beasley, Red Eagle, and Hillabel Groove. PAGE 27 Review of the Year 1932-33 • At the opening of school this year, Murphy had an enrollment of 2,584 students, about 200 more than the attendance of last year. The number enrolled by each class was as follows: freshman class, 762; sophomore class, 673; junior class, 581; senior class, 534. This year the boys outnumbered the girls by 16. The faculty enrollment was 100, including the librarians and the office force of five. The school welcomed several new teachers to the faculty. L. L. btookey came here irom High Point, North Carolina, as director of the musical department. Aliss Oia Sailee, o the commercial department, came lrom Bowling Green, KeniucKy. rrevious to her coming to .wurpny, sne taugnt at oownng Green University. Aliss Anna England was auued to the English department. She is a native AloOiiian. Aliss Ruth Murray, also a Mobilian, graduated from Murphy in 1927 and re- ceived ner o. 2 . degree lrom Auburn. Miss Ann Shephard, of Mobile, received degrees from Sophie Newcomb, the University of Alabama, and M. S. C. W., at Columbus, Mississippi. Mr. Harry Pillans, of Mobile, also, was added to the mathematics department. He was graduated from West Point. Murphy lost several faculty members including the Misses Faux, Barnette, Stone, Swann, Donovan, and Mr. Stewart. Wedding bells claimed three of these. During last summer, Miss Clara Stone married Edward Fields. Miss Fannie Swann, formerly of the mathematics depart- ment, married Ellis P. Hagler. Miss Elizabeth Donovan, director of dramatics for two years, married Walter Bouldin. Mr. J. Jones Stewart, who was former director of the music department, left Murphy to continue his medical studies at Tulane. An outstanding improvement this year was the planting of about 650 azaleas on the school grounds by Mr. Hatch. The azaleas of assorted colors contributed much to the beauty of the school and of the city of Mobile when azalea time came. After almost six years of patient saving, the band obtained its uniforms this year. It made its first appearance, clad in the new blue and gold, during the Mardi Gras carnival. The boys and girls Glee clubs were organized the second semester by Mr. Stookey. Being especially interested in voice, he made and able director, and the Glee clubs were an asset to the school. SENIOR When General Andrew Jackson made his headquarters in Mobile prior to the Battle of New Orleans, the records show that he greatly admired the Azaleas in the I anglois’ garden and was presented with several plants. 19-THE MOHI AN-33 Senior Class Officers Tom Johnston Lamont Lax ton..

Four centuries—Four days. We are so sure that we can conquer life; We are so ready for the wide world’s praise. Days when we watched the soft slow shad- ows fall.

Four years are done, Four centuries—Four days. PAGE 64 19-THE MOHI AN-33 Senior Class History By GREER MURPHY “Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting get understanding.” Proverbs 4:7. Impelled by these words the pilgrims of 1929 started out and chose Miss McCann, renowned for both charm and wisdom, to give them counsel as they journeyed along. Realizing the necessity of a leader to voice their rights each man did cast a vote. The choice lay upon Green Murphy, who endeavored to keep his clan in step with the older pilgrims. Thus organized, the clan increased in wisdom, and its prowess in many fields gained for it the admiration of all. Ignorance seized a few of the travelers and separated them from their friends, but a goodly number pushed on. By June, the first milestone had been reached, and the travelers loitered a season to rest. Early the next fall, strengthened by a much needed rest, our pilgrims again took up their journey. All the nervousness and timidity of the previous year had been replaced by confidence, bordering on arrogance. The old regime having passed on, the group sought the advice of one of the fairest of all the great ruler’s assistants. Miss Elizabeth Donovan. Led on by the wise counsel of this lady fair and by the guidance of Louie Wilson, the newly elected clan leader, the pilgrims forged on, gath- ering prestige at every turn of the road. It was during this dynasty that the city was greatly improved by the acquistion of a unit devoted entirely to developing physi- cal beauty and fitness. Again their wisdom was tested and many more fell by the wayside, but the rest pressed on, determined to stick to their task until it was finished. According to a custom of long standing, two years dwelling in the city entitled a clansman to become second ruler of the mighty council. The entire population did select Louise Hempstead, a maiden fair and of great wisdom to hold this mighty scat, and the clan did swell with pride at this choice. With the end of their second year in the city the pilgrims had become one of the greatest powers and had much influence in all things. So again they did tarry for a rest. With the mid-point passed and the goal near enough to be sighted, the pilgrims again took up the journey. On this third lap of the march they were assisted by Mrs. Breland, through whose guidance they reached new heights. The mantel of chieftan fell upon Sam Fleming and graciously did he wear it. It so happened that in this year, all the inhabitants of the city did have their wits almost scared out of them, by a mighty explosion which came nigh blowing away one of their clan. The rest of the year passed without mishap and in the sixth month after the new year everyone did rest himself for the final lap of the journey. The fall of 1932 came at last and the pilgrim clan became the greatest power of the entire city. Everyone rejoiced to see Louie Wilson as spokesman of the four clans and leader of the entire people. Again they did see fit to take the counsel of Mrs. Breland, who with the same wisdom as of yore, urged them steadily forward. Their chosen captain, Tom Johnston did prove himself worthy of their trust and they over- came all difficulties and prospered. While they review their wonderful achievements, the mist over the city clears away, and they realize that the search for wisdom can never be completed. In learning this they had attained the greatest success. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom and the man that getteth understanding. PAGE 65 19-TH E M O H I A N - 33 The Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class By GEORGE B. TOULMIN We, the members of the Senior class of Murphy high school, now while in health and of sound mind, are persuaded to retrospect and take stock of the past, and to discern, if possible, whether or not our sojourn in this aforementioned institution of erudition has been a success or a dismal failure; so that we, the said members of the aforesaid Senior class of Murphy high school, do make, declare, and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. The Senior Class of Murphy High School bequeaths and disposes of its property, real, personal, mixed, and miscellaneous in the manner following, to wit: First, we, the said members of the aforesaid Senior class of the aforementioned Murphy High School request and direct that our obsequies shall be conducted in a man- ner as is becoming our position and standing as Seniors of this said Murphy High School. Therefore feeling that our desires shall be satisfied in regards to the carry- ing into execution of this, the said last will and testament of the said Senior Class, of Murphy High School, we do hereby make the following bequests: Item I. To the next Senior Class, in order to show our good will and tempera- ment toward it, we do take exceedingly great pleasure in bequeathing to it, the said future Senior Class, our seats in the Auditorium, where we hope that it, too, will re- ceive a great delight in witnessing the frequent quadrumonous-acts staged often dur- ing the past year by our ardent, zealous, and enthusiastic music instructor, Mr. Stookey (pronounced like cookie). Itemll. We bequeath unto the Freshman Class our extra-ordinarily excellent ability of filibustering and persuasion in class. This bequest shall only be carried out after it is evident that the said Freshman Class does not abuse the said privilege which we, the said Senior Class, deem fit to extend to it, the aforesaid Freshman Class. Item III. To a select group of students of the next Senior Class we bequeath the materials and knowledge of unused Mohian work. Perhaps they, the said group of students of the said next Senior Class, can make it, the aforesaid Mohian, pay; we can't. Item IV. To the instructors, we bequeath our numerous unfinished lessons; lessons which we had intended completing, but which, for various reasons, more or less important, we have not as yet concluded even unto our passing day. Item V. We bequeath to the members of the Sophomore Class our serene con- science, our sincere thoughts, our serious knowledge of matters worldly and spiritual and our aspiring hopes to things possible and impossible. These things they, the said members of the aforesaid Sophomore Class, need more than we, the said mem- bers of the Senior Class. We do hereby constitute and appoint Mrs. L. Breland, sponsor of the Senior Class, sole executor of this, our last will and testament, without bond for the faithful performance of her duties. In testimony whereof, we the Class of 1933, have to this, our last will and testa- ment, suscribed our names and fixed our seal this, the fifteenth day of February, A. D. one thousand nine hundred and thirty-three.

In many school activities this class has taken the initiative and shown splendid qualities of leadership. Upon entering Murphy these students were the first to have the use of the gymnasium, this building having just been added to the school, for the use of the second semester classes. Each year, as it is customary, the Juniors have given parties all of which were successful. In ’31 a nightclub called the “Rat’s Nest” was enjoyed by the student body. Mary Annie Evans, Arnold Thames, and Hilda Kearns afforded entertainment in the form of dancing and singing. Multi-colored paper caps and balloons lent a gala atmosphere to the occasion, while punch, cake, and candy were enjoyed by the “Night Clubbers.” In ’32 the “sophomore circus” came to the school with Lloyd Abbot as a most capable ring master. Others in the ring were: Andrew Gillette, juggler; Richard Redwood, clown; Anne Strauss, dancer; and J. T. Arendall, strong man. Side shows of bearded-w'omen, fat women, palmists and many other circus features were cleverly carried out. The seniors were guests of honor at the party of ’33. The juniors of ’33 have had a choice of silver as well as gold rings. The silver rings proved almost as popular as the gold. The sponsors and officers for the three years have been most capable in the carrying out of their many duties. The class officers and sponsor for ’30-’31 were: President, Jane Faville; Vice-Presi- dent, Lois Heitcr; Secretary, Rita Goodman; Treasurer, Enid Marshall; Sponsor, Miss Clara Stone. For ’31-’32, President, Paul McGhee; Vice-President, Montgomery Inge; Secretary, Harold Drago; Treasurer, Wistar Backes; Sponsor, Miss Elizabeth Don- ovan. For ’32-’33, President, Lloyd Abbot; Vice-president, Lois Heiter; Secretary, Margaret McKinstry; Treasurer, Harry Childers and Sponsor, Miss Ruth Schall. Next year this class will be the chief representative of Murphy and hope to even im- prove their reputation of previous years. PAGE 71 Wq cr x )r?r?

Outside a bitter, biting wind swept across the city but inside all was snug and warm. As I settled back into my easy chair in front of a cheery blaze for a winter’s evening soliloquy, suddenly a sort of mental somnolence settled over me and through my brain flashed a review of the events of the last two years. In fancy I went back to that eventful day in September, 1931. It seems as if it were only yesterday when, together with more than six hundred other young hopefuls from the four corners of the city, I arrived at high school. When we saw that magnificent building with all its opportunities dedicated to learning, a new courage and purpose crept into our hearts and we de- termined to do our best. We entered the doors of our school determined to make ourselves a record class. We have shared the difficulties, hopes and labors of other classes; perhaps in some measure we will share their success. First we selected our leaders, and real leaders they were, too. Fresh from his scholastic accomplishments in Barton good natured Robert Cunningham had little trouble in winning the presi- dency. Douglas Hempstead became Vice-president; Lewis Hill, secretary; and Ruth Gray Bowling, treasurer. Anita Boye and Stockman O’Rourke were chosen to repre- sent the Freshmen in the Student Council. Then, having become thoroughly ac- quainted with her merits, we elected Miss Clara Stone as our sponsor. Encouraged and guided by her, we became members of every organization in school. Eight fresh- men rushed to aid in publishing the Hi Times and two freshmen boys succeeded in getting their materials published in the Ryan Review. Dramatics claimed six others and a like number were in the Kodak club. A freshman starred on the baseball team. Other organizations received our services and it began to look as if the school was actually becoming “Freshman-conscious.” About the same tima that Henry Parker was winning new laurels as an orator, Marie Powell, another of us, won the finals of the Washington Declamation Contest and represented the school in the state finals at Montgomery. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” so our sponsor ar- ranged entertainments during the year. Besides the usual class party which aroused many “oh’s” and “ah’s” among the upper classmen which was indeed a grand affair, there was also an assembly in which the “Sophs” and the “Frosh” combined their efforts to provide a program of interesting entertainment. The following year we were lead by Robert, as president, once more, a trio equally able as assistants and three others in the Student Council which included the two selected the year before. Nevertheless, sorrow filled our hearts for our class sponsor. Miss Stone, had been taken from us by marriage but looking about us we discovered another teacher well fitted and willing to guide us. Miss Manning carried on the work of the class where Miss Stone had left off. It was a wonderful year for us and when we settled down for a breathing spell and looked about us we found that we had numerous representa- tives in every organization open to us. Our intramural baseball champions were mem- bers of a Sophomore section and every athletic team counted among its members at least one of us. Then when we thought that all the fun was over for that year at least, our sponsor who had directed a Spanish play earlier in the year came to our rescue with a wonderful class party. We are proud of the part that Sophomores have played in Murphy’s triumphs and, as our Junior year appears on the distant horizon, we have even greater hopes for the class of '35.

The Freshmen, without the benefit of the advanced procedures of technocracy, were taken to the auditorium where we were gven an introduction to the new duties, con- duct, study, technic, and other information that would prove useful during our high school career. Our class is so large that it was necessary to divide into a number of units. Each group was given a section teacher. It is only a short distance from Barton to Murphy High School, and it is only a brief period of time since we left the venerable school on Government street until our matriculation in the modern institution on Carlin street. et in such a short in- terval of time as is passed by a summer vacation, and in the transfer of activities from the old to the new, from the lower to the higher, a great change is apparent in us. Wishing to emulate former classes only in scholarship and activities of our school, the class of 1936 followed the conventional procedure in electing its officers at the beginning of the school year. The following names of those selected reflect our sound judgment and superior taste: Mary Morgan Duggar, President; Robert Suarez, Vice- President; Bob McClure, Secretary; Edgar Greene, Treasurer; Bestor Erwin and Henry Luscher, Representatives to the Student Council; and Miss Anna England, the Freshman class sponsor. Physical Education, being required, all Freshmen benefit by its developing influences. Freshmen are allowed to enter the A or B band or orchestra by a simple examination which reveals to the director the student’s musical ability. This furnishes a chance for the talented to give expression to this neglected art. Glee club participants are admitted in an identical manner. Numerous indus- trial and entertaining clubs keep the freshmen interested, advancing a common in- terest fn their school work. Ambitious aspirants are permitted a tryout in the Four Arts club. It seems apparent that the more efficient the teachers, the higher the at- tainment of the pupils. It argues well for our teaching corps that so very few fresh- men are required to enter repeater classes. Unfortunate it is for the school, and tragic for the pupils less favored than ours. The lowering of the moral incident to repeating is often so pronounced as to cause a maladjustment between repeater and school during the remainder of their association. Another respect of the evils of preventable repeating is waste. The millions of school hours lost is a merciless squand- ering of human life. The economic waste is appalling. A never-ceasing pleasure to the freshmen is the library, adding its refinement and its stamp of culture. It is a source of information for him and with this great convenience, together with the courteous library assistants and the helpful and efficient librarian, he finds the library a city of knowledge in itself. Freshmen are well represented on the honor rolls of Murphy High, an achievement we mention with pride, but with due modesty. Noth- ing has yet impeded the progress of the Freshman class, and there is no evidence to indicate that they will not continue to hold this position. Many members of this class accept additional positions offered in their study periods. A condition that soon im- pressed the first year students was the spirit of cordial good will and thoughtful help- fulness in the office. Here was a welcome greeting in the morning, wise council dur- ing the day, and benevolent interests to take home with us in the afternoon.

Miss Annie Lou White is in charge of the busi- ness staff, headed by David Cox as business manager. The competent editor for this year is Miss Carolee Borden, a young lady who has made quite a name for her- self during the four years spent at Murphy. The paper formerly called “Barton News” was led by Miss Aline Bright, head of the English department at Murphy at present. Due to the efforts of the advisors and coopsration of the students, “The Times” has never failed to bring honor and glory to the school by winning a “place in the sun” at the Columbia Scholastic Association in Washington, D. C. Last year Miss Borden had the distinction of winning first place in America in the newsstory contest sponsored by the same organization. Many novel features are contained with- in the pages of this enterprise. Feature stories, serials, columns,—its entire makeup is the same as the “real thing.” Many loyal suscribers eagerly await the arrival of the paper from the press every other Friday. The printing is done by the printing class of Murphy headed by Mr. Houser. Valuable training, enjoyment and experience are derived by the students who join the Journalism class. PAGE 95 i9-THE MOHIAN-33 The Modern Alchemist Club In the school of 1925-26 clubs in Murphy High School had been deleted because they were not functioning. Only few remained in existence. It was during this time that the chemistry students and teacher began wishing that a chemistry club could be organized. The realization of this desire was made possible in the school year 1929- 30. The demand for such a club came from some cf the students who had unsuccess- fully petitioned a second year course in chemistry. Thirty-three students from the former year’s chemistry classes attended the first meeting held on October 10th, 1929. The club was organized under the, “The Modern Alchemists,” with the following of- ficers: President, Marion Wynne; Secretary, Diana Daye; and Treasurer, John Rey- nolds. Program, initiation, and constitution committees were appointed. The commit- tees began acting and a constitution was adopted. Thus, being well organized, the club was divided into three interest groups, namely: photography, blue prints, and dra- matics. These groups met separately during the year, and regular meeting of the entire club were held twice a year. Such is the history of the first year of the Mod- ern Alchemists. In its second year the club adopted a standard pin. It is made in the club colors, black and gold, with a mortar and pestle designed at the top, and the words “Modern Alchemist ’29”. Last year the club published a whole issue of the Hi Times with chemistry notes and news. This year, for the first time, a meeting was held with the alumna college members who gave interesting talks on the study of chemistry in higher institutions of learning. Every spring, before students plan their courses for the following year, the club gives an assembly program on chemistry to the freshmen and sophomores. This year a play was planned. In the regular program meetings of the club, members, outside speakers, or both give talks on sub- jects relating to chemistry. The club has two socials during the year, the main one, usually a beach party, being in the spring to honor newly elected Junior members. Membership is limited to those taking chemistry. A member of the club suggests a candidate who must be voted on according to certain requirements and initiated. Seniors are initiated the first semester and Juniors the second semester to begin the work of the club the following year. The purpose of the Modern Alchemists is to encourage a greater interest in chemistry in Murphy High School. Rlack and gold are the club colors. This year the flower is the yellow chrysanthemum. The chemistry club has proved to be a successful experiment. It has resulted in encouraging origi- nal work, arousing interest in chemical literature, cultivating the power of initiative, and in creating a greater interest in this subject than ever before. PAGE 96 19-THE MOHI AN-33 PAGE 97 i9-THE MOHIAN-33 The Panther Club The Panther club was first organized during the session of 1927-28, upon com- pletion of our athletic field. Its purpose then was to aid athletics by supplying the refreshments for the games at moderate prices; assist in creating more interest, and helping in any financial way. During the past few sessions the Panther club has con- tributed funds to many other school organizations, such as the National Honor society. Hand and Orchestra, Intramural Athletics, etc. The Club has furnished school busses for the band so they could accompany the football team on road trips to near-by towns, which has aided greatly in building of school spirit. The Panther Club owns the stand situated on the athletic field, and have all the necessary equipment to serve any size crowd, whether for a football game or an all day tournament or field meet. The members are furnished smocks and caps of blue and gold material which add greatly to their appearance on the field. During the session they are also presented with the club monogram which is a large panther head embossed in colors with a small M attached. During the past football season, in spite of the so-called de- pression, the Panther Club’s sales were about the average with other years. The total number of sales this year were as follows: 1,2-10 pieces of candy, 759 bags of salted peanuts, 3,348 bottles of Coca Cola, and 468 bottles of soda water. The sponsor is Mr. R. D. Houser. To aid school activities is their purpose. The colors are blue and gold. The following are the members: President, Ernestine Duke; Vice-president, Johnny Miller; Secretary, Mamie Parker; Treasurer, Dorothy Pope; Publicity Manager, Patsy Gunnison; Chairman of Social Committee, Merifield; Juanita Savacool.

The pur- |t pose is to promote an interest in the Spanish language and the customs of the Span- f ish speaking countries. The meetings, which are held every-other Friday the sixth period, are sponsored by Miss Rothgeb. The president arranges the programs which v, consist of speeches on the habits and customs of Spain, Mexico, or other nations con- i' nected with Spanish customs. As pictures, clothes, and magazine articles are shown to the members, the meetings become very interesting. The students who correspond with students in Mexico, Chile, and other countries find many interesting subjects to talk about. The correspondence gives everyone practice in writing Spanish and also gives everyone an opportunity to see the difference in the language in each country. The songs the Spanish Club use are typical of the countries studied. These also promote interest and give the members practice to catch the sounds easily. The Club has selected a handsome pin, which will be worn by many of the members. The name of the club is superimposed, making an excellent representation. page ioi i9-THE MOHIAN-33 Murphy: Wilson: Pipes: Donaldson: Atkins Hempstead; McCoy: KinK: McCowan; Austin: Chappell; Jnkobik The National Honor Society No honor conferred by the school excels that represented by the National Honor Society. It represents the fundamental objectives for which schools are instituted and gives recognition to those who have attained most enarly the desired ends. Other honors recognize specialized ability but this Society looks upon education as a total product, measured by the four dimensions of life. The four cardinal objectives of this Society are fundamental in all educational practice: Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. Scholarship is determined by relative standing from the ratings as given by the teachers on the report card. Leadership is evidenced by initiative in class- room activities, in promoting high school activities, successfully holding school offices and other positions of responsibility, and exerting a type of leadership which actively and wholesomely influences toward a fine life. A student may gain recognition in character by meeting his individual obligations to the school promptly and completely; by an honest spirit in his class work and a spirit of cordiality and sincerity towards teachers and student associates; by actively helping to rid the school of bad influences; by constantly demonstrating such qualities of person- ality, honesty, reliability, promptness, achievement, courtesy, and morality as are indespensable to the finest young manhood and McCOWAN.

A student may render service by a willingness to cheerfully and enthusi- astically do any service to the school whenever called upon; by a willingness to do thoroughly any assigned service in school procedure or student government; by a readi- ness to show courtesy to visitors by acting as guide; by a willingness to assist students behind in their work; to offer one’s self as a representative of his class or school in inter-class or interscholastic competition; by a willingness to uphold scholarship and maintain a loyal school attitude; by a readiness to render any worthwhile service to the school, or through the school to the community. The Mobile Chapter of the National Society, one of more than 1200 chapters in the various high schools through- out the United States, was organized in the spring of 1923. In- cluding the first semester of the present session, over three hun- dred members have been inducted into the local chapter, on an average of about thirty members a session. Many of these have been graduated from college, several of whom have been made members of honorary societies in college, including Phi Beta Kappa. Some of the members are engaged in professions and others have proved their competency in the business world.

This is one of the four clubs incorporated into the group known as the Four Arts Club. Plays put on during: the first part of the year were: “The Family Upstairs,” a comedy in three acts, and three one-act plays: “The Flatter- ing: Word,” a satiure; “The Monkey’s Paw,” a tragedy; and a comedy, “Sail Right In.” “The Monkey’s Paw” was chosen to represent Murphy High School at the State Dramatic Contest at Auburn. Members taking leading parts in these plays were: Madeline Touart, Scott Walters, Jack Mashburn, George Hite, Minnie Gay Cox, Louise Lindblom, Fred Lartigue, and Lamar Jackson. The officers of the Dramatic Club are: President, Tom Johnston; Vice-President, Minnie Gay Cox; Secretary, Claire Davis; Program Chairman, Gretchen Miller; Historian, Hermoine Curjel. The Four Arts production staff is: Director, Ruth Schall; Assistant Direc- tor, Alma Nixon; Stage Manager, F. Lee Bridgewater; Art, Fan Randlette; Business Manager, Ray Venman; Advertising, R. D. Houser. Miss Schall came to us after a dramatic career in Mis- souri. She is one of the most capable dramatic directors in the South, and Murphy High School is very fortunate in having such a charming person to take the place of the beloved former direc- tor, Elizabeth Donavan.

The club is composed of freshmen and sophomores who have tried out in the first part of the school year and have been judged as capable of acting. In the club this year, there are twenty-four paid-up members. One or more plays are given in assembly by the club each year. The meetings are held semi- monthly, usually in the cafeteria and sometimes in the sponsor’s section. At the meet- ings any new or incompleted business is discussed. After this has been finished, recitations, songs, dances, and contests are enjoyed. The program committee is responsible for these short programs which are given at each meeting. This com- mittee is composed of Adele Schwartz, who is chairman, and Mary Morgan Duggar, Wurt Laun, the President and the Vice- President. The officers of the Junior Players are: Ruth Gray Bowling, President; Sue Bixler, Vice-President; Robert Cun- ningham, Secretary; and Anita Sophie Boye, Historian; and Miss Alma Nixon, Sponsor.

The Mobile Hi-Y The Mobile Hi Y was organized in 1926 by a group of Barton boys and is now, in its ninth year, one of the leading organizations of the high school. At present the club is composed of thirty-five active members most of whom are juniors or sen- iors and are leaders in school activities. The club meets weekly during the school term and interesting as well as instructive programs are given. The purpose of the Hi Y is “To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian Character.” Each member is expected to live up to this pur- pose as well as to the platform of “Clean Speech, Clean Sportsmanship, Clean Scholar- ship and Clean Living.” The Hi Y believes in four square development of boys; that is physically, mentally, socially and spiritually. During the past year the club has given several socials and members are looking forward with keen anticipation to the banquet, an annual event which closes the work of the club for the year. The officers of the club for this year are: President, Lamont Laxton; Vice-President, Leonard Benz; Secretary, Paul McGehee; Treasurer, Greer Murphy; Corresponding Secretary, Bobby Strain; Chaplain, Lloyd Penn- ington; High School Advisor, Mr. S.

This club is sponsored joinly by the Y. M. C. A. and the high school with Roy Wilkie as sponsor, and D. C. Camp of the Y. M. C. A. as counselor. The meetings of the club are held weekly during the school year in the Y. M. C. A. club room. The pur- pose of the club is to create, maintain and extend throughout school and community high standards of Christian character. The club tries to carry out this principle by helping worthy organizations and also by helping the school on Welfare Day and other occasions. The club is composed of twenty-five active members chosen from the student body of the high school. To become a member a boy must pledge himself to the Hi Y platform of “Clean sports, clean speech, and clean scholarship.” The club has varied activities including social, athletic, and educational. This year the club has had two activities of a social nature; one a dance held in the Biology Hall of the high school with approximately seventy-five guests present, and the other a treasure hunt in automobiles for members and their dates only. Basketball and other sports are engaged in at the Y. M. C. A. following the executive meetings. The officers of the club are as follows: Tom Johnston, President; J. T. Arendall, Vice-President; John Robertson, Secretary; Jacque Houser, Treasurer; Andrew Gillette, Corresponding Secretary; Charles Hand, Chaplin.

The club is composed of Miss Mae’s and Miss Fitzgerald’s workers. It meets regularly once a month at different places. At the meetings we discuss the various duties required of each of us as office helpers and the experiences we have had in the performance of our duties. The Office Club was established in 1929. Prior to that time there was selected from the student body of Murphy High School a group to render assistance in the office. After so long a time they agreed among themselves that the formation of a club composed of office assistants would be for the benefit, primarily, of Murphy High and, secondarily, of themselves. And cut of their thought grew the Office Club. The club was founded for the purpose of get- ting student workers in the office acquainted with one another, and the different phases of office work. The membership is com- posed of all students who have at some time during the year K. J. CLARK.

Sponsor Senior Kodak Club The Kodak Club was organized under the auspices of the Eastman Kodak Company during the fall semester of 1930. Mr. Lawler of the science department was appointed sponsor by Mr. K. J. Clark, who is principal of the school. A meeting was called and the constitution and by-laws of the club were constructed. They were accepted by the constitutional committee, and on November 6, 1931, were adopted as the legal constitution of the club. Christmas greeting cards are made and sold by the members in order to acquire money for the treasury. Individual pictures of teachers have been made for students who desired them. This money is used to buy equipment to be used in the Club’s activities. Many of the pictures used by the Hi Times are made by the members. Through the cooperation of the Kodak Club, the pictures of the casts of the Four Arts Club plays are produced. The program for the ensuing meetings of the year was to go out and take pictures, develop them, print them, and enlarge every picture taken. One activity that has been carried out this year was the making of the Panther Club pictures for the Mohian. Members of the Junior-Senior club are: President, Howell Barwich; Vice-President, Hunter Dunaway; Secretary, Anetta Reinecke; Treasurer, Newburn Gray; Florence Allen, Alonzo Atkins, Chester Foster, James Gilroy, Thomas Hill, Grover Johnson, Francis Kirwen, Ethel Patterson, Catherine Peattie, John Steffens, Clyde Toenes, Jack Wentworth, Clifford Williams.

Officers were elected at the first meeting of the members. They are: Joseph Hamilton. Prsident; Norville Morris, Vice-Presi- dent; Margaret Smith, Secretary; Jane Goldstein, Treasurer. There are nineteen other members who are: Sam Demeranville, Mildred Willingham, George Pappas, Jewel Ball, Gordon Hindsman, Doris Bownran, George Lewis, Fannie Lubel, Billy Bean, Belle Patterson, Thomas Hunter, Emily McCorvey, David Ritter, Ethel Wallace, Walter Vozier, Mary Simmons, Hovey Given, Paul Morrison, and Thomas Maloney. Mr. Lawler, the sponsor, was born in Mobile, Alabama. After four years at Spring Hill College he received his B. S. degree. Immediately after he began teaching in Mobile County. He has been teaching in Mobile county and city schools for eleven years. Upon entering Murphy High School he began teaching Science. During the time he has been an instructor at Murphy the subjects which he has taught including summer school sessions, are: Science, Mathematics, Health, Biology, History, Civics, and Social Problems. page in i9-THE MOHIAN-33 Me ore: Denny: Lloyd: L’ojtuin: Mould� : Moulyct: Morican: Contcleton; Scott: Redwood; Patrick; Foster: McDonald: Thame� : Green: Kearley: Little; Southall: Edward� Nichol� : Richardson: Goodman: Miller: Cousin� : McLeod: Foster: Shields; Darrah: March; Heitor Toomer Newbury: Sines: McConnell: liodces: Comfort: Cunningham: Roberts: Cox: Paulovich: Stark; lnjre Gates: Jackson: Moraguc Williams: Render: Miller: McCoy; Owen: Chappell; Hylands: Lcfflcr: Roe S.

Do they eat fruit for breakfast? Are they getting vegetables for their dinner0 Are salads a part of their daily diet? Are they spending their nickles for candy? These and many such questions must be answered. It is important to teach them this proper selection of foods. We know they should have correct proportion of fuel foods. The daily food requirement for a child consists of at least two servings of fruits, preferably two raw; besides potatoes; one egg; one medium serving of meat or meat substitute, fish, cheese or egg; three glasses of milk; whole grain of cereals; butter, one ounce; six to eight glasses of water. Therefore, one sees that menu planning is simply a juggling of fruits, vege- tables, meat, eggs, cereals milk, a: .1 butti r requirements ir.to three meals. It is aim to git the best of these for the least cost. The experienced caterer realizes that food alone does not HI VV sell itself, so it means a constant search for ways and means of � . attracting and holding the interest of the student, creating an atmosphere, pleasing and of companionship among the students realizing how important a part this plays in digestion.

The welfare work is simply a part of the organization, placing those that are needy on the same basis as others. Sharing work and responsibility, thinking always of the best interest from the worker in cleanliness, honesty, leadership and consideration for others, are among our aims for we realize there is much besides financial aid we can give the individual; therefore ,a conscientious caterer must make contacts with the student-body to be able to select helpers who will be useful to the cafeteria as well helping individuals. Following is a summary of the part of the actual work done: Students working in the cafeteria: boys, 65; girls, 56; total welfare students, 121; welfare students receiving lunch daily, not working, •10; underweight welfare students receiving milk daily, 10; diets watched when students are reported to us by I)r. Roe, special trays are planned and fixed daily, 6. Weight is also watched; under- weight students are taken to the medical unit and weighed on the average of twice a month. If these students are not improving, this is reported to I)r. Roe. There are fourteen underweight students. HEITER.

The purpose of this club is to familiarize the members with contemparary poets and their works. In order that this may be done some member is asked to look up a present day poet’s life and works to present to the club for each meeting. This year some of the pacts studied are Kipling, Masefield, and Milne. The flower of the club is the sweet pea. The colors are blue and white. The officers for this year are: President, Howard Walker; Vice-President, Jack Mashburn; Secretary, Eleanor Lessel; Treasurer, Dillon Toomcr; Sponsor, Mrs. S. L. Edwards. The activities of the club include: Study of English and American present-day poets; the production of original poetry and the memorizing of typical poems. Occasionally the routine work is enlivened by parties, picnics, and other diver- sions. The regular meeting of the club occurs on the last scholastic Friday of each month. These meetings are greatly enjoyed by all members. Mrs. S. L. Edwards, the founder of the club, is well able to sponsor it for she has a Master of Literature degree, a Bachelor of Science degree, and a Master of Arts degree from various colleges. WALKER.

Green is for growth and silver for the engen- dering of sterling qualities. The motto is “The world is so full of a number of things, I am sure we should all be as happy as kings. Because the Marguerite is a flower that looks upward, it is the flower of the club. The Fine Arts Club is one of the four clubs which compose the Four Arts Club. General aims of the club are: To engender a love of beauty; to develop taste; to enrich life; to gratify the desire to create; to give pleasure in leisure time. Specific aims are: To support the Four Arts Club by paying dues; developing tickets; making posters; by making stage scenery; advertising the plays wherever possible. The club is composed of thirty members with a President, Martha Powell; Vice-President, Eleanor Smith; Sec- retary, Dorothy Miller; and “ever present help in time of trouble,” Julia Davidson. Miss Fan Louise Randlettc is the sponsor. Meet- ings are held once a month with short programs during an as- sembly period. These programs consist of talks on artists, paint- ings, sculpture, architecture, chalk talks, lectures, and hand-work. The hand-work is sketching, modeling, design for textiles, color work, and leather work.

In every town and city, at home, and at school girls grow into a realization of their responsibility for learning to make wise choices of things, to think and to do. In the Young Women’s Christian Association teen-age girls who start on this quest are called Girl Reserves. All girls are eager to discover new things, have good times, make real friends, and learn more about life and the Girl Reserves program endeavors to fulfill these desires. Through all the ages time has shown us that together we may do things which alone we cannot do; thus the banding together in a club provides greater opportunities to carry out these ideas. As a Girl Reserve I will try to be: Gracious in manner; Impartial in judgment; ready to serve; Loyal to friends; Reaching toward the best; Earnest in pur- pose; Seeing the beautiful; Eager for knowledge; Reverent to God; Victorious over self; Ever dependable, and sincere at all times. “To find and give the best” is the motto: “To face life squarely” is the purpose, and blue and white are the colors. The Girl Reserve symbol is the triangle within a circle. MISS DRIVER.

The motto for the club then was: “Knowledge, like charity, begins at home.” Its colors were light blue and white and its flower, pink azalea. There was a member- ship of thirty-three. The purpose of the club today is to gather records of the past and to preserve the records of the present. Our motto is “Knowledge is power.” For our colors pink and green have been chosen and the pink azalea is the flower for the club. Meetings are held on the second scholastic Friday of the month. With the money collected from the dues we pay for our picture in the Mohian and after that is paid, if there is any money left it is used to buy books for the club. We have been collecting some of Augusta Evans Wilson’s books. We also have been making a collection of clippings from the paper that are of local interest to the club and they are being put in a scrap book which is being made by a group of girls. The monthly meetings always have pro- grams which are of local interest.

Its purpose is to provide experts in the field of radio as speakers for the club, to provide pragrams, stressing the important principles of radio construction and operation, to inform members as to the opportunities offered by radio as a future career, to bring to its members the most worthwhile literature on progress in radio, and to teach the value of radio in industrial and social life. Every regular meeting a speaker from some radio field addresses the club on some topic of interest. A varied musical program is usually provided for each meeting. The club holds two parties, one at the end of the first semester and one at the close of the session. At this meeting the officers of the ensuing year are installed. The Club visits local radio broadcasting stations, and places of interest. Each member of the Murphy High Radio Club has this thought in mind, “To keep the antennae every-ready to receive the best in radio as well as the best in life.” AUTER.

In 1926, Miss Janie Graham, the present sponsor, took charge of the store with student assistants. The purpose of the Welfare Store is to serve every student at Murphy High School for all school supplies, second-hand books, and athletic banners, sticks, pins, and ribbons. The store is fast becoming a book exchange where students may exchange their old books for those needed. The outstanding purpose of the Welfare Store is to help those who by some misfortune cannot buy their necessary books and supplies. Each year there are about two-hundred and fifty students helped with supplies at an average cost of eight dollars per peson. At the end of the school year the text books are returned in exchange for the books for the next year provided the child has proved himself worthy of help by passing in the majority of his subjects. The student assistants are as follows: Helen Austin, Augusta Crabtree, Carolyn Jones, Olivia Mayton, Craig Murray, Helen Morris, Earling Penny. The flower is the sweet pea; the colors green and pink, and the purpose is to serve. The motto is “Let nothing discourage you and never give up.” CRABTREE. Welfare Worker PAGE 119 19-THE MO H I A N-33 Loring A. Schuler has said: “Music is the tonic of the gods. It has a strange power over all of us. We love to hear it, to feel it, to have it about us. Music has the power to drain one’s system of all the low, despicable traits of human nature. Its influence cannot be measured. It belongs to an intangible, yet very potent sphere, more powerful than all the influences we sometimes consider so important.” Since the year 1926, when R. D. Houser first organized the band and orchestra, much prog- ress has been made by these two units. At the end of the year 1928, the entire num- ber of the orchestra totaled seventeen pieces. This small group were not permitted to hold a class during school hours, but due to the perseverance of its leaders and members, it went forward rapidly. At the present time, the orchestra includes in- strumentation of a full orchestra, and there are sixty members. The orchestra plays the highest type of music, that is, difficult overtures and selections. With L. L. Stookey as the director, the orchestra is now of a symphonic size. Mr. Stookey hopes to continue the gradual advancement of the orchestra during the next year. PAGE 120 . 19-THE MOHI AN-33 f The Band The Murphy Band represents, the achievement from small, inexperienced groups to a large and versatile unit. The main purpose of the band is to advertize the ath- letic frames and to entertain the student body at special musical assemblies. With the aid of the orchestra, the band was able to obtain uniforms and certain essential instruments. The uniforms are of blue and gold, the school colors. Both organiza- tions, the band and orchestra, presented a matinee and evening concert on February 17th. L. L. Stookey, director, selected a choice number of pieces, and the band played them with much feeling and interpretation. As a fitting conclusion of the concert, the band and orchestra played the school melody, “Moonlight and Roses. During the Madri Gras season the band showed their true school spirits and paraded several times. They were received well by the public. The officers of the band are: Jacque Houser, president; Fay Russ, vice-president; and Marjorie Walton, secretary. Some of the difficult selections in the repertoire of the band are: Ehmont and Light Cavalry, which are overtures, “Evening Star from Tannhauser, “Sextette from Lucia and Spanish Serenade —“La Paloma. These pieces are light opera selections. Some favorite and popular marches are Stars and Stripes Forever, Lucky Slim and On Wisconsin.

The Mobile Chapter was formed in Murphy High School in 1927. Out of the seventy Murphy High School workers in publications, eleven passed the requirements of the national board. Requirements for membership: 1. Junior, senior, or post-graduate classification; 2. Scholastically in upper third of class for current year; 3. Superior work in writing, editing, or business management; 4. Recommendation by supervisor; 5. Good character; 6. Approval by national secretary-treasurer. The officers for 1932-33 are: Eleanor Smith, president; Sam Eichold, secretary- treasurer; Virginia Willis, typist; and M. Aline Bright, advisor. The first president of the Mobile Chapter was I aurie Winter who was, at that time, editor of the Mobile Hi Times. The symbol of the organization carries the quill and scroll, the quill represent- ing the care that journalists must take in putting their thoughts into proper language, and the scroll, the permanent quality which is necessary to preserve all writing.

The Panthers ended the season with six wins, one tie, and one loss. A tough and experienced Pascagoula eleven held the Murphy Hi Panthers to a scoreless deadlock in the opening encounter of the season. Both teams had several scoring opportunities, yet they were unable to supply the needed punch at the critical moment. The Mississippi squad outgained the Mobilians by 15 yards and probably would have scored a victory had they been able to cope with the punting of the Mobilians. After being held scoreless in the initial game the Panthers ran wild over the Jackson Aggies to the tune of 60 to 0. The game Aggies put up a stiff fight but were unable to hold the Murphy backs who made touchdowns almost at will. Murphy made 14 first downs to Jackson’s 4 and completed 9 out of 21 attempted passes for a total yardage of 215. The entire Murphy team played an outstanding game while McCroquodale and Captain McCowan starred for the visitors. The following week the Panthers avenged three consecutive defeats in past years by defeating the Pensacola Tigers 27-0. Early in the second quarter Ross Little reeled off 35 yards around end to place the oval on the Pensacola 25 yard line. Wilcox then shot a bullet-like pass to Shaw, who made a sensational catch to place the ball on the 5 yard line. In two trys Kenneth Sayers knifed his way through the Tiger line to score the first touchdown. Just before the half, Aubrey Shaw intercepted a pass and ran 50 yards for a tally. A sensational run by Ross Little and a pass from Charley Wilcox to Shaw netted the final touchdowns. PAGE 124 V 19-TH E M O H I A N-33 The Panthers continued their winning streak by defeating Ensley High 19-7 in Birmingham. The Golden-clad team scored in the first few minutes of play when Sayers pounded the line for six points after Harris and Little had advanced the ball to the 20 yard line. A series of line plunges resulted in two more touch-downs for the Panthers. Sayers and Wilcox stared for the Panthers while Jacobs, Porter, and Roberts were the best performers on the Magic City squad. In the following game the Panthers ran roughshod over their ancient rivals, the Baby Badgers of Spring Hill, to the tune of 20-0. With three minutes to play in the first half Charley Wilcox heaved a pass to Edwards who leaped into the air, snagged the oval and hugged it to the ground for the first touchdown of the day. Early in the fourth quarter, Wilcox dropped a pass into the arms of Ross Little who galloped across the Badger goal for another six points. A sustained drive down the field, aided by a Spring Hill penalty carried the ball to the Hill one yard line where Carl Jones hammered the line for the final touchdown. The playing of Miller and Captain Morice Roy stood cut for the Hill while the line work of Brewton, Halladay, Avinger, and Edwards as well as the spectacular runs of Little and the line plunges of Wilcox and Sayers stood out for Murphy. The Panthers next journeyed to Biloxi where they defeated the Indians 14-0. The first touchdown was the result of a bad punt which Shaw caught on the 10 yard line and carried over the goal. In the final quarter Wilcox intercepted a pass and raced to the 7 yard line before he was tackled. In three plays Murphy scored; Jones going over right guard for the touchdown. In the next fray all the energy that the Panthers possessed seemed to be inert as the Lanier Poets triumphed over them 19-7. The entire game was a battle between two great backs, Wilcox of Murphy and Adams of Sidney Lanier. The power lunges of the Poet back were responsible for many of the 10 first downs compiled by the I anier team, while Wilcox’s return of punts and line plays added to his passing ability furnished the chief spark to the Murphy offensive. The only tally of the Panthers came early in the game when Wilcox ran back a punt 45 yards to the Lanier 40 yard line and James Cobb, fleet Murphy back, carried it over the goal on the next two plays. Four thousand spectators turned out to see the Panthers win the Prep School title by defeating the Wrights’ Bulldogs 33-0. Charlie Wilcox, playing his last game for Murphy almost single-handed defeated the Cadets with his accurate bullet-like passes and broken field running. The first marker came in th ? opening minutes of play when a punt by Quinn Dorrah went out of bounds on the Cadet 20-yard line. Wilcox sent an aerial bomb to Shaw placing the ball on the 8 yard line and Ken Sayers carried it over, on the next play, for a touchdown. After rising to memorial heights in the second quarter to halt the Murphy offense, the Cadets crumbled in the face of their heavier opponents in the third and fourth quarters to yield 20 point and give the high school it’s most decisive victory since 1924. Wilcox tore off his longest run of the season in the third quarter when he raced 50 yards down the field to the soldiers’ four yard line where he was stopped by Dorrah. The game was a titanic struggle with a light fast team attempting to badie its way to victory over a high-powered eleven. Wilcox, Jones, Avinger, and Sayers starred in the backfield for the Panther pack with Rutherford, Dorrah and McKenzie playing brilliantly for the Cadets. The line heroes were Brewton, Southall, Edwards, and Halladay, for Murphy, with Kerr, Bulwinkle, Flynn, and Kraft starring for U. M. S. PAGE 12 5 .9-THE MOHIAN-33 CAPTAIN H. E.

Formed from the over abundant varsity material, the B team suffered three defeats and no wins. The first game, played in Citronelle ended with the disheartening score of 6-0, in favor of Citronelle. On the Murphy field the Leaksville high school team de- feated the “Baby Panthers” 25-0. The Murphy team was unable to stop the rushes of the Mississippi backs or to break up their well timed plays and passes. The final game was at Leroy, Alabama, where the B team suffered its worst defeat of the sea- son. The sturdy lads from Leroy High amassed a total of 37 points while the Murphy eleven was held scoreless. PAGE 134 ,9-THE MOHIAN-33 Clay: Simpkin ; Cooper: Reeve ; Gilroy: Bra «cll; Taylor: Greer.

Although the “C” team only broke even with 3 wins, 2 losses and 1 tie, much credit is due them for the brilliant way in which they played every game. The “Baby Panthers” lost their first game to Citronclle 13-7 but the following week they balanced their records by defeating McGills 33-0 on the high school field. Continuing their winning streak the Murphy team defeated Grand Bay 6-0 and Alba 11-0 but they were unable to score against the fast Citronelle eleven in a return game which ended 12-0 with Murphy on the wrong end. In the final game of the season the “C” team was held to a 6-6 tie by a strong Fairhope eleven. PAGE 135 19-THE MOHI AN-33 I K Curry: Reave� ; Scott: Greer. Coach 'll Jaet: Slaughter; Gaillnrd: Porter: Little A viniter: Taylor; Wilcox. Captain: Doyle; Smith J Review of Basketball Season J Led by as great a captain as any Murphy High basketball team ever had, the VI Panthers drove through a grinding 16-game schedule during the 1933 season, winning 12, the City Prep league championship, and reviving the lost prestige of former Blue and Gold cagesters. It was behind the successful coaching of Henry Greer, former Union University athlete, who handled the club for his first time and with Wilcox the lone veteran, that Murphy thundered to the great record, the most impressive in five years. Wilcox was all that could have been asked. The all-southern football star turned in a type of play that earned all-city and all-district recognition and likely would have meant all-state recognition had the “Goal Diggers” lasted through the regional tournament. There was considerable new talent brought out by Greer. William Gaillard earned an all-city center rating over a fast field; William Avinger rated a second team forward berth; Willie Taylor proved a dependable guard; Walter Smith landed a guarding role on the second all-city selection; Ross Little showed a steady improvement to be in the regular lineup before the year was over; Morris Jaet devel- oped into a flashy scorer, but his dimunitive stature weakened his defensive per- formances; Bill Cannon was late becoming eligible but range and speed aided him greatly; William Slaughter saw enough service to earn a letter and will likely replace Wilcox next year. PAGE 130 i9-THE MOHIAN-33 Most sensational and upsetting was the 22-16 Murphy victory over Tanner- Williams High team, previously undefeated for three years. Never has a Murphy team showed such offensive powers as in the first two games when it rolled up a 52-15 triumph over Citronelle and two days later humbled Pensacola, 46-21. However, the Tigers trapped the Panthers on our court and won by a 24-8 score in a later meeting. Adding to Murphy’s glory, Greer’s clan arrived at a 15-14 decision over the Biloxi Indians on the home court after losing a torrid battle at Biloxi, 28-24. Knsley brought a highly polished nest of Yellowjackets here February 18 to win by a 35-19 score in a mediocre showing by the Panthers. Those were the feature games. Every contest was hard fought, new men get- ting experience for what 1934 may bring. Greer will have his starting lineup far stronger than the first team he sent on the floor this year. Gaillard will be at center, Taylor will go to one forward, with Bill Cannon at the other. Smith should develop into the city’s best guard to team with Slaughter. Graduation’s scythe cuts heavily into the ranks to claim Wilcox, Little, Avinger, and Jaet. In the district tournament, the “Goaldiggers” polished off Grand Bay as they pleased, winning 83-22, but were eliminated by Robertsdale, 23-21 in semi-finals. From there Robertsdale continued into the state meet, but fell in quarter-finals, Geraldine High winning the Alabama championship for the third successive year, establishing an all-time record.

As a dribbler and passer, he is unsurpassed and his uncanny ability to shoot placed him among the league leaders at the end of the season. WILLIAM AVINGER— (Forward) Bill was one of the mainstays in the Goal Digger lineup. His playing though never sensational could always be depended upon and his fighting spirit caried the Goal Diggers to many a victory. BILLY GAILLARD— (Center) Murphy fans always felt safe with Billy at center. His accurate pass work and su- perb blocking made the Murphy defense impregnable. Great things are expected of Gaillard during his two remaining years. ROSS LITTLE— (Forward) Ross proved his worth at another major sport on both the defensive and offensive. Although small his uncanny ability at loop- ing goals always placed him in the begin- ning lineup. WALTER SMITH— (Forward) Although seldom in the beginning lineup Smith always showed his worth when he did get in the game. His ability to smother enemy plays counted greatly in some of the high school victories. 'i PAGE 130 i9-THE MOHIAN-33 HILL SLAUGHTER— (Guard) Bill could always be depended upon to come through with a couple of points when necessary. Although his play was never sensational it was good enough to give him a permanent place on the squad. WILLIAM CANNON— (Forward) Although he seldom played up until the last few games, much credit is due him for the brilliant floor work he exhibited. Dur- ing his two remaining years he should turn out to be a Murphy star. MORRIS JAET— (Forward) Morris was the smallest man on the '33 team but his brilliant passwork and light- ning attacks kept him on the squad. WILLIAM TAYLOR— (Center) Willie was a fair shot and a good all around player although he was seldom on Lhe beginning lineups. He could always be depended upon to ring up a few points at the critical moment. JAMES H. GREER— (Coach) Much credit for the success of the '33 quintet in capturing the prep league championship goes to Coach Jimmie Greer, whose untiring efforts to put forth a team representative of Murphy high school were undying.

Smitht; Hardy Demotroplis; Martin; Adain; Sherron; Cornelius; Shedden Review of the Baseball Season i In nineteen hundred and thirty-two the Golden Panthers under the guidance of Coach Jimmie Greer, former Union University ace, swept aside all opposition and ended the season without a single defeat and with but two ties to win the city league championship for the fourth time in as many years. Prospects for nineteen thirty-three are equally as bright. Coach Addison McGhee, who succeeds Jimmie Greer, will have six returning lettermen and an abun- dance of ready material from which to mould a team capable of carrying on the fine records established by former teams under Greer. Johnny Smith, Charles Smith, Charlie Wilcox, and Lawrence Scott, all monogram bearers will round out an entire infield with Red Porter and Jack Armour as returning outfielders. McGhee will prob- ably have trouble finding material to replace last year’s pitching staff of Lyter and Pennington, but great things are expected of Paul Halladay, A. J. Hardy, and Daughdrill—all members of last year’s squad. Aside from the regular league contests the Panthers will probably meet such formidable opponents as Pensacola High, Biloxi High, Baldwin County High of Bay Minette, and Jackson High. i9-THE MOHIAN-33 Minor Sports • TRACK Under the able tutelage of Johnny Brimm the nineteen thirty-two track team won every contest in which it participated. With Joe Springer, city champion miler, as captain, and Kenneth Sayers, football ace, as alternate captain, the high school squad amassed a total of 185 points to their opponents 110 points in the three meets held. The first meet, held on April 16, included such formidable opponents as Spring Hill, Bay Minette, Brewton, Citronelle, and Grand Bay, and much to the surprise of Murphy fans, proved to be an easy victory for the blue and gold lads. A week later the panther squad traveled to Biloxi, where they narrowly escaped defeat, the final count begin Murphy 60, Biloxi 48. In the final meet, composed of teams from the other high schools of the county, the panthers were again victorious. The high school totaled 72 Vi points. Spring Hill 18 Vi points, Alba 17 points, and Wrights 9 points. The following made letters: Springer (half and mile run), Sayers (shot put and discus throw), Pumphery (100 and 220 yard dashes), Tacon (440 yard run), Rubira (100 and 220 yard dashes), Roland Molpus (high jump and shot put), Wiatt (half mile). Prospects for the 1933 team are very dull unless new material is found. Springer is the only returning letterman. TENNIS The panther forces were equally successful at tennis. Under the splendid coach- ing of William T. Douglas, the high school team was able to win four out of the five matches held. The Murphy lads suffered their only defeat from the hands of Biloxi high school in the opening match of the season. The panther forces were unable to win a single set and the final score placed Murphy on the wrong end of a 4-0 count. Led by Keith Thompson, the Panther team, composed of Wistar Backes, Frank Reed, George Sullivan, and Hans Van Aller completely out-played their opponents in the remaining games and avenged their former loss by defeating Biloxi 3-2 in a return match. Teams defeated by Murphy were Pensacola (twice), Biloxi, and Spring Hill. GOLF Coach B. T. Dobbins again demonstrated his ability to produce a winner, when he coached the ’32 Murphy golf team. When the season ended the Panthers had only two crimson mars of defeat against their record out of the six matches held. The Murphy lads bowed in defeat once to Biloxi and once to Pensacola High. Mem- bers of the team were: Fritz Havard, Jim Gordon, Harry Williams, and “Bubba” Havard.

This system denies to all but a few girls the chance to play, and makes spectators of a large majority of girls rather than players. We feel that play is not only fun for all but also very beneficial to those who participate. Therefore the Physical Education department of Murphy high school sponsors the promotion of games and sports for the largest possible pro- portion of high school girls rather than the small and restricted group. Feeling that the game is worth playing for its own sake regardless of whether won or lost, we are trying to interest all girls in becoming players instead of spectators. PAGE 142 i 19-THE mohian 33 It is always true that the person who feels himself a “dub” at some particular sport, gets small enjoyment out of that particular sport. The so-called “dub” may need merely a chance to learn the game and develop a small skill in it to enjoy her- self thoroughly in playing that particular game. For this reason we are trying to offer to all high school girls a chance to learn and play a variety of games, and to participate in sports throughout the school year. Stated specifically, seme of the aims of the Physical Education Department in offering intramural sports to girls are as follows: To promote programs of physical activities for all girls of high school rather than for a limited number chosen for their physical prowess. To stress enjoyment of sports and to develop that quality we term “good sports- manship.” To develop qualities of courage, self control, self sacrifice, courtesy, kindness, loyalty, obedience, honesty, cooperation, and initiative. To improve physical efficiency and develop alertness, quick response, control and grace of bodily movements. To create in girls an intelligent and healthful interest in sports and games and give them a fund of activity material for use in leisure hours. To promote the desire for wholesome associations and recreations. To develop the proper spirit towards victory and defeat. To help girls develop attractive personalities through their ability to pursue varied recreational activities, thereby making themselves more interesting and valu- able as members of a social group. Intramural sports for girls were offered first at Murphy high school in 1931-32. Volley ball, basket ball, track, baseball, and tennis were played. There was a good registration of girls for these sports. In 1932-33 the registration for intramural sports was much larger. Twenty- three teams or about two-hundred and fifty girls signed for volley ball. Thirty-five teams or about three-hundred girls signed for basketball. About one-hundred girls signed for swimming. The swimming tournament is followed by baseball, track, and tennis. This program is offered to all high school girls and it is hoped that many will participate in it and enjoy it.
