Ex Libris BOARD OF EDITORS ANDREW GILLETTE Editor-in-Chief HARRY CHILDERS Business Manager HARRIET LITTLE CHARLES MILLER Art Editors THE MOHIAN 1934 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIORS OF murphy HIGH SCHOOL MOBILE ALABAMA ) DEDICATION To F. W. Breitling whose untiring efforts in the interest of the students of Murphy High School have created in us a pro- found admiration and respect, whose sterling character and personality are exemplified by his activities and devo- tion, and to whom we feel a deep sense of gratitude, we dedicate this, the eighth volume of the Mohian. FOREWORD Throughout the many hours spent in preparing this volume, we have had but one goal in mind-that of presenting to our fellow students a log of which they will be proud, and which will aid them, after a period of years, in recalling their many friends and the events of 1933-1934. If we have succeeded in this, then we will feel that we have received the supreme reward. CONTENTS Book Book Book Book Book Book One........THE SCHOOL Two............CLASSES Three........ATHLETICS Four........ACTIVITIES Five.......SCHOOL LIFE Six---ADVERTISEMENTS T HEME Since Mobile is one of the largest ship- ping centers in the United States, the art staff has adopted the development of the ship from the first sea-going vessels to our modern ocean liners as the theme of this volume. The most representative types, and in as many cases as possible, famous examples are portrayed as intro- ductions to the various books. [IE SCHOOI “ ’Tis not too late to seek a newer world. Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset—till I die To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. “Ulysses,” Tennyson.

Through these endless days of learning, Dreaming of the bye and bye, Thinking only of tomorrow, Now, farewell to Murphy High. We’ve had days of toil together, Intermingled now with play; Through both bright and dreary weather, Comes the parting of the way. There are ties that must be severed, Our ambitions have been high; Hardest tasks have all been weathered, So, farewell to Murphy High. To those schcol-day friends and teachers, Let us fondly bid adieu; They have done their best to guide us, Now our high school days are through. May a sense of hope impress you. As the hour to part draws nigh; Good luck, and may God bless you, Farewell, our Murphy High. 8EVENTY-FOUR LOWER CLASSES LOWER CLASSES 19-THE MOH IAN-34 UNDERCLASSMEN • • • On the morning of September 18, 1933, there were numerous sighs and groans as the S. S. Murphy sailed out of port on its annual nine months voyage. Earlier in the season, it was thought that the voyage would not be run on schedule because of the lack of funds for running expenses, but in spite of the low funds, the ship sailed with the largest crew in its history—586 Juniors, 685 Sophomores, and 751 Freshmen. The new officers of the Juniors and Sophomores, who were elected during the closing weeks of the last voyage, quickly and earnestly began their duties. While the two older crews were again becoming acquainted with their work, the Freshmen first took it upon themselves to find out what the voyage was all about; and then, after being told that they were taking their initial voyage into the Sea of Higher Knowledge, followed the usual custom of electing officers. After the S. S. Murphy had been under way for several months, Robert Cunningham, who was for the third time filling the office of president of his crew, began making arrangements for ordering the crew emblem, the ship’s seal made into a ring or pin. It is during a sailor’s third year of service that he or she is eligible to purchase one of these emblems. The other officers of the crew were: Ruth Gray Bowling, Vice-President; Malcolm Morris, Secretary; William Atkinson, Treasurer; and Miss Martha Manning, Sponsor. The Juniors were well represented in the clubs open to their membership, having a large representation in each of the following clubs: Four Arts, Kodak, Astronomy, Radio, Office, and others. The Sophomores also did much to make the voyage more successful. The ones who were elected officers of the crew were: Mary Morgan Duggar, President; Robert Suarez, Vice-President; Robinson McClure, Secretary; Richard Crawford, Treasurer; and Miss Annie Louise Smith, Sponsor. They were also represented in the various clubs to which they were eligible, and took an active part in the intra-mural sports. The Freshmen, although it was their first trip on the S. S. Murphy, were not long in joining in the activities of the entire ship. Those whom they elected as their crew officers were: Billy Stimpson, President; Jack Bowling, Vice-President; Ben Albert Prince, Secretary; Mary Julia Roberts, Treasurer; and Miss Juanita Semple, Sponsor. When the time came for the annual intra-mural sports, in spite of their being inex- perienced and outweighed, the Freshmen enrolled almost one hundred per cent, showing their sportsmanship and gameness. The young crew also showed their friendly and active spirit by joining the clubs to which they were eligible, such as the following: Torch Club, General Science Club, Girl Reserves, Kodak Club, Junior Players, Office Club, and others. SKVENTY-SIX LOWER CLASSES 19-THE MOH IAN-34 UNDERCLASSMEN • At the end of the first half of the nine months voyage, the size of the crew had decreased. At this time there were 566 Juniors, 650 Sophomores, and 718 Freshmen. Some had returned home as a result of sickness, failure, and for various other reasons. It did not take long for the crews to be readjusted at the beginning of the second half of the voyage, and soon every thing was going very smoothly. W hen the honor rolls were published soon after the return voyage started, all three crews had a large number making each. The Juniors 40, the Sophomores 39, and the Freshmen 2. Besides the outstanding scholastic seamen, there were many with outstanding personalities. Probably the most popular ones on board were: Jane Smith, Douglas Hempstead, Mary Bowab, Dave Roberts, Thomas Greaves, Jimmy Alvarez, Jack Bowling, Wm. B. Taylor, Jr., Billy Wood, Robert Cunningham, Carolyn Roberts, Mary Morgan Duggar, Robert Suarez, and June Armstrong. Probably the most enjoyable event of the entire voyage is Welfare Day. This was originated by the Welfare Committee to raise money to send children on the voyage who would otherwise be unable to go. It is the custom every year to have a queen from each crew. On this voyage there were a large number of candidates for the queen of each of the crews. The Junior candidates were: Ruth Adler, Edwina Kerr, and Jane Smith; the Sophomore candidates were: Barbara Henry, Elizabeth Lewis, Reba Lyons, Genevieve McClure, and Hilda Moxingo; and the Freshmen candidates were: Marion Griser, Eleanor Montiel, Gerry Norton, and Mary Julia Roberts. In the early spring, the crews began giving their parties. The usual prom which the Juniors give the graduating crew was given this year in a different form—as a cabaret. As usual, it was given in the gymnasium, was informal, and a good time was enjoyed by all who attended. The Sophomores gave their party in the cafeteria. This party was a dance for all class members, other class officers, and faculty. The Freshmen gave their party also as a dance in the cafeteria. Before the dancing started, a program was presented by members of the crew and refreshments were served. After the parties ended, everyone was then busy studying for final examinations which would tell whether or not they would be able, to go on the next voyage. On the morning of June 1st, 1931. the dear old S. S. Murphy docked for its annual three months vacation. SEVENTY-SEVEN ATHLETICS “Ay, tear her tattered ensign down! Long has it waved cn high.

Dobbins, who, through his great knowledge cf football, his untiring efforts, and his loyalty and devotion, has brought fame and honor to our school. “Coach,” as he is affectionately known to the student body, exemplifies in every way the true qualities of a gentleman, sportsman, and instructor. Coach Dobbins received his football train- ing at Sewanee, Tennessee, where, for three consecutive years, he was the most valuable man on the varsity squad. His original posi- tion was at guard, hut he was often shifted to the backfield. In 1913, 1914, and 1915, Dobbins was selected as All-Southern and in 1915, he was elected captain of his team. From the Atlanta Journal we learn of his college career: “He is one of the best offensive play- ers in Dixie, and his offense is about all that could be asked. A big rugged chap with plenty of weight he is shifty on his feet, and with a fine knowledge of how to play his position, he leaves little to be desired in the way of a tackle.” In 1917, he answered his country's call to arms, and enlisted as an American College Volunteer. He served for the next two years in the French army and returned home in 1919. He then became assistant coach to Cope at Howard College, and here he remained for the next two years. Coach has trained and placed on the gridiron several players whose names will stand out in football history. Frank Howard and Joe Sharp were both members of Alabama’s Crimson Tide, which won the Rose Bowl Champi:nship in 1931. Howard, who made honorable mention as All-American and All-Southern, is now coaching at Clemson, South Carolina, while Sharp, who was Alabama’s captain in 1931, and who made All-Southern and All-American honorable mention, is now Alabama’s freshman coach. Ed Suarez was an outstanding player on the Army’s team while Captain J. D. Bush. Ernest Molpus, and “Firpo” Phipps, were highlights on the Auburn teams. Murphy High School looks with pride to the success of Coach Dobbins on the gridiron, for no matter how great the obstacles are, he gives to his men courage and the incentive to fight that brings triumph in the majority of their battles. And so we say to Coach Dobbins: “We hail you as a sportsman of the finest and truest spirit, a wizard of the football field, an inspiration to everything good and fine, not only among your players, but to the student body and alumni.” EIGHTY-TWO HEAD COACHES 19-THE MOH IAN-34 TRIBUTE T O W. C. S I T Z Murphy High School is indebted to Auburn for our valuable assistant coach, Willard Clarence Sitz. Although he has only been with us for four years, he has proved to be one of the best liked and most admired of our athletic coaches. Sitz, who claims Gadsden, Alabama, as his home, graduated from Auburn in 1924, com- pleting his course in civil engineering. Dur- ing his four years at Auburn, “Swede,” as he was familiarly known to his classmates, spent two of these on the varsity football squad. The Auburn annual of 1924 speaks of him: “He is a tower of strength and by far the most versatile man on the team. His work in the Georgia game stands as one of the greatest exhibitions of football a Tiger guard ever turned in.” His outstanding ability in college football as guard gave him an enviable record, and his knowledge of the game has made him an excellent line coach. Coach Sitz gained valuable experience in football during his senior year because of the outstanding teams played by Auburn. John E. Pitts, who had served as assistant coach for several years under Coach Donahue, was the coach during this year of “Swede’s” career. The team in 1923 was noted as being the light- est in history of the college and also the “fightenist” team turned out in years. Coach Sitz played against such teams as Clemson, Birmingham Southern, Howard, Army, Georgia, Tulane, and Georgia Tech. For two years. Coach Sitz was a member of the Auburn varsity baseball squad, thus proving himself to be an all-round athlete. While his regular position was that of pitcher, we find that “ ‘Swede’ is the most versatile member of the diamond squad. He has served as catcher, fielder, and pitcher. During former years, he has been rather wild for a hurler, but has now settled down and overcome this handicap. His change of pace is from fast to faster.” Coach Sitz, who possesses a most pleasing personality and a friendly disposition, is a modest and quiet athlete. He has a winning wav with the players .who in turn are anxious to give of their best to him. Much praise and credit should be given to our line coach who, by his hard work, has kept Murphy High School in her foremost place in athletics. __ 1GHTY-THREE CHEER LEADERS 19-THE MOHIAN-34 CHEER LEADERS “CHUM”THURBER AGNES BEVERLY HARRIS SUSAN REYNOLDS E.

FOOTBALL FOOTBALL 19-THE MOHIAN-34 Review of the Varsity Football Season Battling against prep schools that boasted their strongest and most powerful teams in recent seasons, the Murphy High Panthers after a disastrous start, gained power on the gridiron and cn November 25, again claimed the city prep school cham- pionship by defeating their ancient foe, the Bulldogs of U. M. S. This year Coach Dobbins’ Blue and Gold Panthers played eight games, and broke even by winning four and losing four. The Panthers suffered their first defeat at home on September 23, when they played an inspired Pascagoula eleven. Pascagoula scored in the first few minutes of play, and it was the extra point, via the air, that won the game for the Mississippi team. In the second quarter, “Corn” Cobb weaved his way through the opposing line and ran 35 yards, to the 18-yard stripe. After several plays, Halladay drove the ball across for the only touchdown scored by the Panthers. In the secondlialf, the Panthers succeeded three times in placing the ball within a few yards of the goal line, but were unable to drive it across, and so the score ended 7-6 for the visitors. In a thrilling and hard-fought struggle, the Panthers again bowed to defeat to a strong Pensacola eleven, by a score of 12-0. The Tigers made their first touchdown in the opening quarter, this being made when Gardini carried the ball over, after a Tiger man recovered Halladay’s fumble on the half-yard stripe. The second touch- down was made when Tells ran 20 yards for the score. Murphy threatened the Tigers’ goal line when they recovered a fumble on Pensacola’s 15-yard stripe, but failed to score. The game ended with the ball in mid-field. Brock and Wikie were THE VARSITY TEAM Sits, assistant coach: Dobbin , coach.

EIGHTY-SIX FOOTBALL 19-THE MOHIAN-34 Review of the Varsity Football Season the outstanding players for the Tigers, while Captain Thornton, Halladay, Cobb, Stockard, and Pappas starred for the Panthers. An improved Murphy team took to the field the following week, and won their first game of the season. They defeated the Biloxi Indians by a score of 13-7. Both teams did their scoring in the first quarter, Biloxi scoring first. The Panthers made both their touchdowns on the Indians’ fumbles, the first when “Punk” Gordy, the Murphy center recovered a fumble on the Biloxi 15-yard line and the second when Sanders, a Panther back, recovered the pigskin on the Biloxi 21-yard line, a few minutes later. The Panthers next journeyed to Birmingham, where in a night game, on October 19, they took on a new opponent, Ramsey Tech, and once again in a heated game suffered defeat, the score being 26-14. In the first quarter neither eleven was able to cross the line, though Wiley of Ramsey and Stockard of Murphy engaged in a brilliant punting duel. The Panthers’ first score came at the opening of the second quarter, when Halladay, behind excellent interference, sprinted 71 yards for the touchdown. Pappas blocked Noojin’s punt and the ball was recovered by Gaillard, for the Panthers’ second score. Inspired by these touchdowns, the Tech team scored twice in the remaining minutes of the half and twice in the third quarter, with the pass combination of Hewitt to Wiley. Ranking in power and ability with other great Murphy teams of past years, the Blue and Gold eleven won their greatest victory of the year, by defeating the Baby THE “B” TEAM '1 Wells; Allen; Havens; Ford; MeGchec; Baker; Hartley; Langam; Hindsman; Williams; Batiste: Long: Brimm. coach.

The Panthers scored in every quarter of the game, the first touchdown being made when Gaillard recovered Rogers’ fumble on the 30-yard stripe. After several completed passes, Halladay knifed his way through the Badger wall for a score. The Panthers scored five more times, Stockard Jones, Cobb, Boutwell and Halladay giving valuable aid in the backfield. A strong, charging forward line composed of Captain Thornton, Pappas, Padgett, and Houston stopped the Badger attack when they succeeded in pushing the Panthers back to their 11-yard line in the second quarter, but Stockard punted out of danger. Walsh, Glass, and Brislan stood out in the Badger backfield, while Norden Capps and Perez played brilliantly on the line. Displaying a powerful passing attack, far superior to any yet shown this year, the Panthers defeated the strong Crimson clan of Phillips High, the score ending 7-0. The Magic City eleven tock the field against the Panthers undefeated. The only touchdown of the game was made when Cobb, the running ace of the Panther squad, took the ball on his own 40-yard line, started around end and eluding tacklers and running behind perfect interference, gained the Crimson’s 11-yard line before being hauled down. After a 5-yard penalty for Phillips, Cobb again took the pigskin within inches of the goal. Halladay finally drove it over. A stubborn Phillips defense kept Murphy from scoring in the final quarter. The game was a fairly even battle, with the Crimson team gaining through a powerful ground attack and the Panthers bringing into play their aerial attack. Murphy attempted 18 passes, 14 being completed, and some of these succeeded in making long gains. For their next game, the Panthers went to Montgomery for their traditional battle with the Poets of Sidney Lanier. Again the Blue and Gold Panthers were defeated, this time the score being 32-6. The Poets outclassed the Panthers in every phase of the game, only letting the Murphians gain 11 yards from scrimmage while the Poets had 184 yards to their credit and 13 first downs to Murphy’s one. Stockard kicked his team out of several bad spots, but they were unable to hold back the charging Poet eleven, under the able leadership of Captain Joe Kilgrow. In the last two minutes of play in the first half, Stockard heaved a 30-yard pass to Smith for the only Murphy touchdown of the game. Boutwell, Pappas, Gaillard, and Smith played an excellent defensive game for the Panthers, while Halladay and Stockard were the stars in the backfield. The Blue and Gold Panthers of Murphy brought their season to a close with a 14-0 victory over the U. M. S. Cadets. This annual contest was witnessed by four thousand spectators and this was the game that gave the city championship to the Panthers. During the first quarter, neither team was able to get started, but in the last few minutes of the second period, Cobb slipped off tackle and ran 33 yards to the 20-yard line, before he stepped out of bounds. After three unsuccessful attempts to move the ball, Stockard faded back and threw a beautiful pass to Halladay, who stepped over the goal line for the first touchdown. The attempt for the extra point was good. Again, the Murphy team tore through the Cadets’ line in the third quarter and scored another seven points, after a charge of about 50 yards down the field. Murphy again threatened the Cadets’ goal line when they placed the ball on the 3-yard stripe but the Bulldogs recovered and punted out of danger. The Soldiers fought gamely throughout the whole battle but were unable to gain over the power and fury of the Panthers. Captain Harold Miller of the Cadets played a brilliant game for his team, while Kerr, Carter, and Lawrence were outstanding. The punting of Stockard was magnificent and Thornton, Smith, Gaillard, Halladay, and Padgett were also stars for the Blue and Gold. EIGHTY-EIGHT FOOTBALL Captain J. B. Thornton (Tackle—two years) J. B. not only proved to be an able captain, but also was one of the most outstanding players on the line. Alternate-Captain Paul Halladay (Back—three years) Although this was Paul's first year in the back-field, he was the power-house behind the Murphy offense and was a menace to the opposing team. James Cobb (Back—two years) It was many a time that this running ace aroused an excited crowd with his long end runs and his excellent broken field running. Cobb makes a thirty-five yard run—Pascagoula EIGHTY NINE NINETY FOOTBALL Billy Holmes (Guard—two years) Billy was the largest man on the squad and he made his tackles with keen, accurate precision. Theo Houston (Guard—two years) Many opposing backs were surprised to find that they could very seldom gain over right guard when Theo was playing at this position. Carl Jones (Back—two years) Carl was a great backfield man for broken field running, line plunges, and for return- ing punts. A pile-up—Biloxi FOOTBALL Lawrence Scctt (End—two years) Whenever a long pass was sailing through the air, Scott was always on the other end waiting to catch it, and he usually did. Earl Pappas rTackle—two years) Earl was usually one of the first to be down to cover a punt and was a brilliant tackier as well. Fred Padgett (Tackle—two years) It was more than once that Fred crashed :hrough the line and brought the opposing ball carrier to the ground before he neared the line of scrimmage. Halladav scores in Biloxi game NINETY-ONE FOOTBALL 19-THE MOHIAN-34 L. G. Adams (Back—one year) Even though L. G. was not a regular starter in every game, his line plunges and his excellent blocking kept him a member of the varsity squad. Ossie Boutwell (Back—one year) This 165-pound sophomore hit the line with terrific force and could always be de- pended on for several yards or an extra point. Bill Gaillard (End—one year) Although light, Bill was a sure pass receiver and many times he recovered fumbles from the opposing team. Stockard getting ready to throw a pass—Springhill NINETY-TWO FOOTBALL 19-THE MOHIAN-34 Eddie Sayers (Center—one year) With Eddie backing up the line, Murphy fans felt safe about the opposing charges over center. Howard Sanders (Back—one year) Although Howard’s play was never sensa- tional, he was an excellent back on the defensive side and his blocking cut down many opponents. Bryant Gordy (Center—one year) As an alert center, Bryant sent the ball into the backfield with aim and accuracy, and it was very seldom that he made a miss. NINKTY-TURKK FOOTBALL • Walter Smith (End—one year) Smith was a great offensive star and his ability to catch passes and lead interference was responsible for many a Murphy touch- down. David Stockard (Back—one year) Not only did David’s golden toe pull the Panthers out of many tough spots, but his passing and his ability to handle a team was a great asset to the squad. Albert Cessna (Tackle—one year) Cessna could always hold down his position on the line and it was his accurate tackles that gave him a varsity berth. Halladay making only touchdown in Phillips game NINETY-FOUR FOOTBALL A. J. Hardy (Manager) A. J. was the very efficient manager of the 1933 football machine. His task was no easy one but he did a difficult job well. George Jumonville (End—one year) George was an excellent end on the defense and always got his man, no matter how- great the opposing interference was. Ralph Harold (Back—one year) This little back was great on line plunges and very often his runs were for long gains.

He has the distinction of establish- ing a new prep school league scoring record of 109 points, the first to pass the 100 mark in the last decade. Walter Smith (Forward) Smith was always a regular man in the beginning lineup and a great shot under the basket. He was an excellent floorman, and his speed and height made him valuable on the offensive. J. P. Heaves (Guard) “Chink,” playing his first year as a varsity man, proved to be one of the best defensive players on the Murphy squad; and due to his excellent blocking and floorwork, he was judged as one of the star players of the season. George Jumonville (Forward) George, playing his first season for the Goal Diggers,” was a star performer, and saw plenty of action. Due to his accurate shooting, he rated as second high-point man at Murphy, and as third high-point man in the city league. NINETY-EIG BASKET-BALL 19-THE M OH I AN-34 King Curry (Guard) Although unable to play at the beginning of the season, King made up for lost time by pulling the Panthers out of some tough spots. He was a splendid floorman and when he got a shot from mid-court . . . two points! Ossie Boutwell (Forward) Ossie was one of the largest and most vers- atile men on the Panther quintet, and played both a good offensive and defensive game. We expect great things of Ossie next year. George Sherrin (Guard) Although George was the smallest man on the 1934 squad, his speed and splendid floorwork gave him a permanent berth on the varsity team. David Roberts (Forward) Playing his first year in a blue and gold uniform, Roberts proved his worth by being cr.e of the mainstays of the squad. Al- though light, he was a good offensive and contributed much to the team’s success. J. H. Greer (Coach) Coach Greer, with only two returning let- termen, but with an abundance of raw material, developed a team that became co- champions cf the city league. This is Coach Greer’s second year as the leader of the varsity basketball squad, and we wish for him much success in the future. NiNKTY-NINE BASKET-BALL 19,-THE MOHIAN-34 Review of the 1934 Basket-Ball Season With the city prep league championship as their objective. Coach Henry Greer’s “Goal Diggers” of Murphy High School opened their season on January 12, 1934. With only two lettermen returning, but with plenty of reserves, who showed promise last season, Coach Greer built up a team which was destined to become the co-champions of the city. The “Goal Diggers” began their defense of the city prep school basketball title by defeating the University Military School with the score of 30 to 11. The game was hard fought and the Panthers displayed a good team in their first exhibition. The Panthers suffered their first defeat at the hands of the Biloxi “Indians” by the score of 26-33. This was Murphy’s first road game of the season. On January 16, the Murphians battled against the “Yellowjackets” of McGill Institute and won their second game with a 20 to 16 victory. Gaillard, Jumonville, Sherrin, and Reaves led the Panther attack. The McGill team played a good game with Allenback as their star. Greer, coach: Elii� ; Piler; Curry: Turner: Greave .

ONE HUNDRED BASKET-BALL 19-THE MOHIAN-34 Review of the 1934 Basket-Ball Season Three days later, the Murphy quintet suffered their first local defeat by bowing to the “Purple and White” of Spring Hill High School, Che score being 17-9. The outstanding performer for Murphy was Gaillard; while Capps, Gafford, and Bolling turned in a good game for the winners. Next, the Murphians journeyed to Citronelle, and here edged out a cne-point victory with a score of 23 to 22. On January 26, the “Goal Diggers” met the U. M. S. Cadet five and our victory of 23 to 13 placed us in a tie with the Spring Hillians for first place in the city league. On the following day, the Panthers settled an old score with the Ensley “Yellow- jackets” of Birmingham when we defeated them by a score of 27 to 12. The blue and gold clad team flashed the best form they had yet shown. Curry and Gaillard were the highlights for Murphy, while Applebaurn, Pepper, and Warwick starred for the visitors. The next game was with McGill’s, and this victory gave Murphy the first place in the league. The score ended 33-23. The whole team played a nearly perfect defense, and McGill’s was unable to cope with Murphy's style. Murphy lost her lead by going down in defeat to the score of 26 to 23 to Spring Hill on February second. The team was off form, but made the “Baby Badgers” battle to win. The “Goal Diggers” then journeyed to Birmingham, and on February 8, they bowed in defeat to Ensley High School, the score being 32-28. The following day, Murphy again suffered defeat at the hands of Phillips High School, this score ending at 29-18 victory. The Panthers next took on Citronelle—a 22-19 victory. Curry and Reaves led the winner’s attack while Adams and C. McCall played well for the opponents. The Panthers played their best game of the 1931 season on February 16, when they defeated the “Baby Badgers” of Spring Hill by a score of 37 to 14. This game put the rival teams into a deadlock, and were now in a tie for the title. Gaillard, Jumonville, Sherrin, and Reaves turned in a great game for Murphy, while Bolling, Gafford, and Capps starred for the visitors. The two final games of the season were both won by the “Goal Diggers.” In the first game with McGill’s the score was 16 to 12 and in the final game of the season, tr.e score ended 54 to 13. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Spring Hill High School was the host to the district tournament, which opened in Mobile on March 2, and in which eight teams participated. The Murphy team won easily from the Organic High School of Fairhope, the score beir.g 21-8. They then eliminated the Pine Hill High School with a score of 27 to 19, but were defeated by Robertsdale by a score of 20 to 16. Robertsdale became the defending champions in the district finals. ONE HUNDRED ONE MINOR SPORTS 19-THE M O H I A N - 3 4 Minor Sports TRACK The success of the nineteen thirty-three track team revealed the superior ability of Murphy’s first and only track mentor, Coach Johnny Brimm. With only one returning letterman, he molded together a team that again brought outstanding honors to its school. Joseph Springer, re-elected captain, was the returning letterman. His perform- ance in the state meet as a miler caught the eyes of many college coaches. In the first inter-city meet of the year, Murphy defeated Spring Hill by a score of 75-30. Murphy captured first place in every event except the 100-yard dash and discus throw. The feature run of the day was the 440-yard dash in which Springer covered the distance in fifty-four and six-tenths seconds to create a new record for the Murphy track. In a dual meet, Murphy tallied 81 points while Moss Point could only get 23. Murphy was first in every event except the mile relay and polt vault. The latter was tied. In another dual meet Murphy won from Alba by a score of 54-23. Cobb was the outstanding Murphy showman capturing first place in the 100-yard dash and 220-yard dash. In the local track and field meet Murphy scored 46 points to win over such for- midable foes as Spring Hill, Alba, and Wrights. The feature of the meet was the breaking of three district high school records. The Murphy half-mile relay team clipped a full minute off the old mark when the quartette traveled the distance in one minute thirty-eight and four-tenths seconds. Miller, Spring Hill star, set a new record in the 220-low hurdles traveling the distance in twenty-eight seconds. J. B. Thornton covered the half mile in two minutes nine and one-tenth seconds, clipping four and seven-tenths seconds off the previous mark. The prospects for the 1934 team look promising as five lettermen are returning. The 1933 lettermen were: Springer, Avinger, Baker, Boutwell, Caton, Cobb, Coulsen, Couturie, Gaillard, and Thornton. GOLF The discontinuation of golf teams in mast of the first district schools left only Spring Hill and Murphy to compete for the Gilbert Burton Trophy. Under the able instructions of Coach B. T. Dobbins, Murphy won the match for the second consecutive year by a score of 15-3. If Murphy proves winner again this year, the trophy will permanently belong to the school. This should be easily accomplished as all of last year’s team are returning, and, in addition, Ralph Havard, luminary of the 1932 team. The members of last year’s team were: Charles Miller, Dick Crawford, Charles Rhem, and Glen Roberts. TENNIS The lack of funds and the lack of local competition were responsible for the dis- continuation of tennis last year. But this year it has been definitely decided that tennis will be resumed. Coach Douglas has an abundance of ready material in Backes, Van Aller, Rainwater, Anglen, Greaves, Thames, and Tisdale. Spring Hill, Wrights, and possibly Pensacola and Biloxi offer Murphy’s competition this year. ONE HUNDRED TWO BASEBALL 19-THE MOH IAN-34 BASEBALL Review of the 1933 Baseball Season The Golden Panthers of 1933 found Coach Addison McGehee, former Auburn star, their pilot, and under his able guidance, they again for the fifth successive year, became the City League Champions. During the season, the team played twelve games, winning nine and bowing in defeat in the other three. With six lettermen returning, Coach McGehee drew the remainder of his team from the excellent material he found in the second team of the previous year. The 1933 infield found these former lettermen taking their regular positions: Charlie Smith, Johnnie Smith, Lawrence Scott, and Charlie Wilcox, while Jack Armour and Henry Porter resumed their positions in the outfield. Other members of the 1933 squad who made letters were Troy Dixon, Colen Daughdrill, Marvin Corneiius, Oliver Sheddin, Warren Kidd, Garland Hays, Marion Adair, and Denby Harris. In the twelve games of the season, the Panthers only played three of them with teams outside of the city league. These were with Brewton, Pensacola and Leroy, the latter defeating Murphy by the score of 6-2. In the home games, the Panthers counted three victories over Spring Hill, two over Wrights, and two over McGill; and two losses, one to Wrights and one to McGill.

In letters that were once gold the inscription “School Memories” were stamped upon the lid. “I’m sure she wouldn’t. Let’s do,” answered her sister, Diane. After digging through a pile of party favors, letters, report cards, football tickets, and photographs the two girls came upon a little book that was once red. On the cover was engraved “My School Days 1930-34.” “Just think!” exclaimed Diane in awe, “it’s almost sixty years old!” As the girls slowly turned the pages they found a picture of an attractive lady. Under it was printed “Miss Stone, sponsor.” “What funny clothes,” said Gloria. “But remember, that was sixty years ago,” her sister answered. The next few pages were given to the impressions of a timid little freshman in a land of strange faces. On one page was a discription of the newly completed gym. “I passed fundamentals!” was written in an excited girlish hand on one page. When the girls reached a page with 1931 -’32 written on it they paused a moment to look at a photograph of a smiling woman. “Miss Donavan” was carefully printed under it. “Oh, I’ll bet this was exciting!” exclaimed Gloria holding a yellowed clipping from probably some newspaper. In great headlines the words “Blast Rocks Murphy High” stood out. A detailed description of the “wave system” newly founded and by which the students went to lunch occupied a page. The next few pages were lightly skipped over. A photograph of “Miss Schall” was given a prominent place, and several clippings about rumors of school closing, student strikers, and journalistic honors won by the “Mcbile Hi Times” and the “Mohian” were placed carefully on the aged pages. When Gloria and Diane reached the last few pages Gloria gave a sigh, “Her last year. Think how long Grandmother has been out of school. I’ll bet she loved it.” The last page contained a picture cf the senior sponsor, Mrs. Breland, and a faded photograph of several large buildings silhouetted against the dark green of trees. “Our school,” murmured Diane, I know Grandmother loved it just as we do. But think how much larger it is now than it was then.” “Yes, it is,” said Gloria with a last loving lock at the old school before she closed the book.
