The Board elected by the people is composed of five members. Those serving on the present Board are: Mr. Paul Danner, President of the Board, Chairman of School Lands, President of the Danner-Veneer Company; Mr. A. F. Norquist, Vice-President of the Board, Chairman of City Schools, Vice- President of the Leftwich Com- pany; Mr. M. S’. Adams, Chair- man of County Schools, a partner of the Mobile Glass Company; Mr. J. L. Abbot, Chairman of Fi- nance, Local Representative of the Sun Life Insurance; and Mr. II. R. Luscher, Chairman of Wel- fare and Health, Chief Clerk in State-County Tax Collectors Of- fice. A most willing ex-officio mem- ber is Mr. W. C. Griggs, Super- intendent of Mobile County Pub- lic Schools. Serving without fi- nancial reward, these Commis- sioners solve problems arising from the school system. They use an annual budget of one mil- lion dollars normally in training Mobile County public school pu- pils. Sui ’t W. C. GriitKs Left to riirht: School Commis- sioners Luachcr, Atlams.

This building, Ala- bama’s monument to education, was founded in 1836, and has since expanded into “the million dollar high school of the South. This remarkable institution was opened in 1837 under the capable leadership of A. S. Vigus. In 1852 the session opened with four hun- dred pupils enrolled, but by the middle of the year the enroll- ment numbered 854. Miss Annie Quigley was first principal of the high school and Mary Horton was the first pupil. The main obsta- cle which served to intervene the companionship of the students was the high board fence which served the purpose of separating the boys and girls. Tradition says that in 1870 the academy was painted pink with the name in large black letters across the front. Facts tell us that during the Civil War the high school was closed and the building was used as a hospital for the soldiers. Memories of school days in this stately building will ever be cher- ished by students of bygone days and history will continue to tell of lhe learned men and women it has produced. 7 Seats of the Mighty Back of Murphy’s horizon, lies the sterling char- acter and unceasing labors of Mr. Clark, our prin- cipal and advisor. Ten years has not served to dim the interest he takes in the school, its students and activities. Having come to Murphy High School in 1926, fresh from educational positions in Virginia and elsewhere, Mr. Clark has ade- quately filled the position not only of principal but also of an influential advisor and real leader. His cheerful smile and pleasing personality will ever be a quality, essential to the success and fu- ture of Murphy High School and its students. Our principal is always willing to find time to assist in scholastic enterprises and in projects de- signed to benefit the city and county of Mobile. A Mobilian by birth, by ancestry, by ideals and by service to thousands of boys and girls who have come in contact with her, Miss Mae Kanes is esteemed by the citizens of Mobile and beloved by the student body of Murphy High School. Her ever endearing interest and keen sense of mind has been greatly responsible for the growth and progress of our high school. Miss Kanes was edu- cated in the public schools here and was a gradu- ate of Barton Academy. Since 1926, when Mur- phy High School was erected, she has served as as- sistant principal of our Alma Mater. Miss Mae, as she is known by her boys and girls, has exer- cised an influence of good to everyone who has had the privilege of knowing her. 8 Mr. K. J. Clark. M.A., Principal Miss Mae Eanes, Assist. Principal These Three These three rule the sacred inner domain of Murphy high school, the office. Mrs. Fell, Mur- phy’s registrar, is continually busy registering new pupils and arranging schedules. She also checks seniors to see that they meet requirements for graduation. Before Mrs. Fell goes the name and record of every graduating senior from Murphy; and if a senior does not have the right number of cedits in the proper subjects, Mrs. Fell immedi- ately comes to his rescue with an easy, reasonable solution of the problem. Miss Gaston has charge of the records and files of every student at the school and must see that all the files are kept in perfect order for immedi- ate use if necessary. At the end of each semester it is her work to copy the semester’s grades of the students on their card in the file. She also must send all her records of a pupil to the school to which he is transferred. If inquiries are made by business houses, Miss Gaston immediately gath- ers and sends out the four year record of the graduate in question. Included in Miss Gaston’s work is the task of sending records to colleges which Murphy High School graduates attend after leaving Murphy. Better known by all Murphians as Kffie Lou, Miss Brown is the competent private secretary of Mr. Clark. All his mail is taken care of by her, and in her he finds not only someone who can capably take care of his every correspondence, but someone who understands and sympathizes with the student body. In every one of these three can be found sympathy, willingness to help, a certain kind-heartedness, a good worker, and probably most important of all for the jobs they have, a personality. Every boy and girl in the school loves, admires, and respects them. Fell: G ton; Brown In Line to See Mi Mne Student Government Student Council Mcclinit KdKiir Arendall. President of Student Council BOSS ARENDALL'S GANG The Student Cooperative Govern- ment Association of Murphy High School is divided into two departments, one to correspond to each department of our national government. The Gov- erning Council is composed of represen- tatives from each class and is similar to the Senate of Congress. The Advisory Council is made up of one representa- tive from each section room and is com- pared to the House of Representatives in our Federal Government. It is the duty of these representatives to present in the meetings any suggestions made to them for the welfare of the school. They are then discussed and passed on to the Student Council for its approval. Next the suggestions are submitted to Mr. Clark who acts on them if he thinks it advisable. Row one: Bell. Wood.

We have a very competent group of stu- dents at Murphy in thirf capacity. Though they are very seldom heard from, they carry on the business of handling the checks and other business in a quiet yet efficient manner. Every cent that goes out of the school is care- fully checked by the auditor. The Mohian wishes to take thirf opportunity to publicly commend the following stu- dents for their splendid work as audi- tors: Dorothy Schieffelin. Central Hook- keeper: Virginia Stiles, Central Auditor. Kida Swift. Cafe Bookkeeper: Dolores Pearson, General Auditor. Miss Purifoy’s Bookkeeping 8 Opportunity Ahead Courses offered in the department of business are expected to assist pu- pils in choosing careers, in serving employees, and in succeeding as entre- preneurs. Bookkeeping, typewriting, business law, business arithmetic, busi- ness economics, and even shorthand, should prove of practical value to the buyers, budgeteers, bakers, and bankers of the family as well as the career- seekers and income-earners. In Murphy High School the commer- cial teachers are endeavoring to cause the practical utility of their instruction to demonstrate itself in the many serv- ices rendered by the advanced students as school bookkeepers, auditors, money- counters, inventory clerks, depositors, stenographers, and typists to the offi- cers and teachers in all departments of the institution. The business department, with Oscar Boland at its head, is striving to make its instruction to pupils more and more serviceable to them as the future earn- ers and spenders of the nation. To this end its teachers are constantly seeking the best available courses and the most effective methods of their presentation. 12 A Typing: Clan YO TAPI A KKBS Row One: Browton, Larson, McLeod, Anderson.

Chancellor, the Yo Tappa Kees was formed in 1934. As the number of perspective members increased Mrs. Chancellor found it necessary to limit the membership to the members of her advanced stenography classes. At each of the club’s semi-monthly meetings one of the prominent business men of Mo- bile was invited to dictate to his inter- ested audience, and to tell them some- thing of what he expected of a stenog- rapher. During the past year the Yo Tappa Kees had as their main project the organization of a talent division. The “talenteers” were gifted underclassmen who enjoyed putting on programs for the various organizations of the school. The officers elected at the first meet- ing were: President, Eleanor Montiel; Vice-president, Lucille Jones; Secre- tary, Jamie Redwood; Reporters, Mari- lyn Parker and Margaret Welch, and it was principally through their untiring efforts that the Yo Tappa Talenteers was formed. Acting as the Major Bowes of Murphy High the officers and their committees discovered much hid- dent talent. 13 The 14 Mr. Wilkfe'a English 8 Toilers Row one: Wagner. Moir. White. Mcore L . Bright.

Kennedy As “literature is a written record of man’s best thought and feeling” the students of Murphy High School asso- ciate daily with kings of thought. As work in fundamentals aims to estab- lish as a habit the use of basic princi- ples, the student body should learn ex- actness through this carefully planned phase of work. As instruction in com- position aids in the writing and the ap- preciation of effective compositions, Murphy High School pupils should be able to write and also to appreciate them. Courses in dramatics, journal- ism, and public speaking give talented pupils a chance to travel the road of their special interest. To promote and regulate their various interests, the Fundnmcntali and the Supplement have been combined. The material in new and more modern textbooks, which holds the interest of pupils, has been placed on a regular schedule and as a result is more beneficial to the pupils through organization, carefully planned. The latest books have been purchased by the English Department so that the course of study for the English Department will be in accord with modern progress. 15 Make-Up The curtain is up, the play is on and Murphy High scores another success- ful year in the art of drama and com- position. The senior players, a very important division of the Four Arts Club, being made up entirely of Juniors and Seniors, has endeavored this year to learn through experience the antics of acting and the art of public speak- ing. To obtain their goal the club presented for the entertainment of the students and interested outsiders, three outstanding one-act plays which brought all other attainment to a showdown. posed of Freshmen and Sophomores, has as its purpose to foster the very best in dramatics and to study plays, playwrights, and actors. The members receive excellent training for acting in public and in developing self-confidence in public speaking. The purpose of the Creative Writers Club, under the sponsorship of Miss E. Lura Moore, is to promote interest in Contemporary literature and to encour- age pupils to develop their own powers of speaking and writing interestingly.

Students hold- ing executive positions on the staff were at home on the stage as they made ready to put the third issue to bed. History was in the making when the Hi Times staff arranged the 1936 debut of the paper for the first day of school. Besides making the first issue a free one, the staff repeat- ed this generous gesture by giving away the third issue. The goal for the year was eighteen editions—an increase of four over last year.

THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT Prince. Meador, Sawada. and Alonzo Plan the Mohian In the Mohian the sweetest memories of the Senior class are gathered and brought to a climax, and the activities of the three other classes of Murphy High School are disclosed. The Mohian workers are di- vided into two groups—the Editorial Staff, under the supervision of the Editor, Jack Meador, and the Business Staff, under the supervision of the Business Manager, George Sawada. The work of the former is to gather, revise, and ar- range all material in a maner so interest- ing that it will preserve the memory of the 1937 class to all its predecessors. The Business Staff attends to the advertise- ments. anti the business side of the Mohian worker. Upon the shoulders of these workers rest the edition of Murphy s an- nual. How The Mohian Staff Work !

Kreland. Michael. Hand, Foote, and Hart:rove. His Own Country Governed by the theory that the experi- ence of others is the best means of solving our own problems of today, the Social Science Department searches world move- ments of both the past and present. They study the development and policies of peo- ple and nations and note policies which have proved valuable or useless, economi- cally sound or wasteful. The purpose of the department is to develop intelligent trustworthy citizens in a changing civili- zation; to inspire them with courage for the right and skill to lead or to follow leadership. Murphy’s youth and their guidance is the constant cry of the Civics division of the Social Science Department. Better people for better living is their watch- word. Most of the classes are discussion groups, and many surprising questions are brought up. Does a dog think? Would you fight in an offensive as well as a defensive war? Do I spend my money wisely? How can I develop a more pleas ing personality? These are discussed and numerous tests are given which show character and personaliy. 18 Pioneers All! The Local Interest Club was organized at Barton Academy in 1922, the first president being DeWitt King. In that year the club dramatized “Red Eagle”, a poem by Alexander Meek, a resident of Mobile, and founder of the public school system in Alabama. There was no stage at Barton, and the play was enacted in one of the section rooms. A few years ago it was again dramatized by the club on the stage at Murphy High School. Two years ago the club wrote and produced a play, “The French in Mobile”. This year the club plans to present “A Salon at Madam Le Vert’s”. A study is now being made of the old homes and landmarks on Government Street, from Commerce to Broad Street. The club is divided into committees of two members each, and to each committee one block is assigned. At the present time the club has an enroll- ment of forty-four members. The officers this year are as follows: Jane Bragg, president; Ellsworth Ha ugh ton, vice-presi- dent; Geldie Hafner, secretary; and Frank Powell, treasurer.

Pearson Mother Knows Home Economics holds a prominent part among: the many deparments of Murphy High School as students seem more inclined to choose home life for their future instead of a business career. The department is di- vided into five groups, namely, Foods 1 and 2; Homemaking 5; Textiles and Clothing 3 and 4, also advanced Textiles and Clothing 7 and 8; Child Care and Training 7-A; and Household Management 7 and 8. From group one the students learn something of buying, planning, preparation, and serving of a meal. Homemaking teaches one how to plan, furnish and care for a home. Textiles and Clothing covers the entire field of dress- making and tends to stress selection of ma- terials and good designs. The Child Care and Training covers one semester, and can- not be taken unless the student has taken a course in Foods 1 and 2 and Clothing 3 and 4. It takes in the study of the rela- tion of the child to the home, his training, habits, care, feeding, and clothes. House- hold Management, the last group mentioned, is a practical course in the furnishing, man- agement, and care of the home. Students taking these courses become better prepared to lead a happy home life. Cookini; Clam Smith. Griffin. Reynolds. Ross. 20 HOME ECONOMICS Row One: Hodiford. Mnlone. Kelley. Iglcr. Osrroll.

Homemaking Home The Home Economics Club is an organiza- tion at Murphy High School for girls cither taking or having taken some subject in the Economics Department, and the new mem- bers are chosen by their grades, and their interest in the club and its work. The aims of the club are to create a social gathering, and to train young women to become better leaders in home, school, and community life. The club takes field trips to different manu- facturing companies, and two of the main social events of the year are the Christmas party during the holidays and the Mother’s tea that is given in the spring. Although a new club it is one of the largest in Murphy. The Home Economics Club is under the able supervision of Miss Reynolds who has been re-elected sponsor for her third consecu- tive year. The club is now affiliated with both the Alabama Home Economic Associa- tion and the National Home Economics As- sociation which meets in the spring in Bir- mingham. The main purpose of the club is to create an interest in home life in the hearts of the girls of Murphy High School. Economics Club 21 Row one: Ward. Randlelt«. Boruo.

Hubbard Men Of Iron Art Student 22 The curriculum of the Industrial and Fine Arts Department includes a study of the materials, tools, processes, products, and personnel in as many industrial and fine arts occupations as can be taught in our high school. In the study of the processes the student makes projects. He uses these projects and develops certain skills which may be useful to him. Then if he finds that he wishes to follow one of the lines of work he has studied, or to use one as a hobby or avocation he has been fully prepared and knows this art. These projects are usually things which have a great interest for the student; therefore he puts forth his best effort and lends a real interest to his work. Those articles which he makes have certain economic value since he takes them home and uses them, or in rare cases sells them, getting a direct re- turn for his work. In the study of materials, tools and products, the general education of the student gets valuable information which will help him to select more intelligently the occupation he may wish to follow. Thus the student is benefited and trained for a life work or material happiness which in both cases is a great deal helpful to him. Row One: F chtor. Shncffcr. Shackelford. Carter. Bittner.

Gone With The Wind The aviation club is a student organ- ization, being limited largely to senior and junior boys, who have come together with aviation as their pursuit of a num- ber of objectives. These may be enum- erated under the following heads: to pro- vide in the study of aviation, its future possibilities and its future development; to provide extent in aviation as speakers and instructors, enabling the common citizen to become well informed; to pro- vide programs expounding some of the principles of aviation and the construc- tion and operation of airplanes, thereby enlarging their own knowledge; to in- form members as to the opportunities of- fered by aviation as a vocation and an avocation and lastly to make more avail- able for themselves and you, worthwhile literature dealing with aviation, its prog- ress and development. The club meets every two weeks, and there are usually most interesting dis- cussions of an informal nature, and, when possible, aviators and others are invited from local flying field to discuss various phases of their calling, and to answer the numerous questions eagerly asked by the members. At other times members give well prepared talks covering some interesting feature of aviation. Shop Work 23 24 Spanish ('Ins The Tower Of Babel Row One: Duffee. Venman, Spradlin. Row Two: Tait, Manning. Gay, Shepard. Rubira. The Language Department is divided into three groups, Spanish, Latin, and French. The Spanish Department con- sists of eight teachers: three full time teachers, Misses Rubira, Manning, and S'pradlin, the department head, and two part time teachers, Mr. Venman and Miss Shepard. There are four years of Spanish, two classes of Junior, sev- en classes of Sophomore, and ten class- es of Freshman. There is also a Spanish Club made up of upper classes of Spanish students The I atin Department consists of only three full time teachers: Misses Tait, Cay, and Duffie. The latter is the head of this department. Latin like Spanish offers four years to the students. There is one class of Senior Latin taught by Miss Duffie. There are eight classes of Freshman Latin, five Sophomore, and one Junior. Al- so there are two large Latin Clubs established this year, which are spon- sored by Misses Gay and Tait. The two teachers of the French De- partment are Mr. Venman, who is the department’s head, and Miss Shepard. 25 It's Greek To Me The Spanish Club is composed of those students taking second, third or fourth year Spanish. The meetings of this organization are held on club days and are enjoyed by all those students participating in them. Interesting pro- grams are given and many pictures, clothes, and magazine articles about Spain and her people are shown and explained. Because of the large num- ber of applicants for the Latin Club, two clubs have been formed; one for those students taking first year Latin and the other for second, third, and fourth year students. The purpose of the Latin Clubs is to gain a more thor- ough knowledge of Roman life, cus- toms, and language, and to understand better the practical and cultural value of Isatin. The French Club has been operating very effectively this year under the able guidance of Miss Shep- ard, the advisor. In the meetings of this club many interesting programs are heard, and much interest is shown by all those fortunate enough to belong to this club. The members correspond with students in foreign countries that speak the French language. LATIN Row One: Baldwin. Burke. Box . Payne. Halliday, Gil- bert. Janaen. Griffith. Cad- enhead, Hollinger.

I’iUnnw One Two Button My Shoe The Mathematics Department is com- posed of twelve teachers who endeavor to instill into the minds of Murphy s students the first principles of mathe- matics which carry them through life. This department is divided into several branches: one year of arithmetic, two years of algebra, one and one-half years of geometry, and one-half year of trigonometry. Although mathemat- ics is not a required subject, nearly every student takes at least one of the branches, and those who plan to at- tend college study several years of mathematics in preparation. The course is an extensive one, being surpassed by only a few schools throughout the en- tire United States. A student who studies four years of mathematics at Murphy is able to enter any school without examination with the excep- tion of high technical institutions. The aim of the Mathematics Department i.« to develop the power of understand- ing and analizing relation of quantity and space, so that pupils may appre- ciate the progress of civilization and may develop habits of thought and action that will enable them to make these powers effective throughout life. 26 Mr. Dobbins’ Math.

Moon Struck Once each month the Astronomy Club holds an observation meeting be- tween seven and eight o’clock. With the use of telescopes donated by the school to the club and those lent by outsiders, the members see many inter- esting objects circling about the uni- verse. The students learn to operate the telescopes and at different times have sighted the surface of the moon, rings of Saturn, moons of Jupiter, and Mars, besides the numerous constella- tions. General Science classes, while studying astronomy, attend these meet- ings and view those things studied. Each point of interest is located with the aid of a powerful flashlight.

At the regular meetings, each member, sometime during the year, addresses the group on the phase of astronomy which interests him most. Frequently the star-gazers have out- standing men of the city, with a knowledge of astronomy, as guest speakers. Looking thru the black-board 27 BAND Drum Major........Fowler Row One: Moran. Greene.

Stookey's Rag-Time Band Organized in 1928 with twenty mem- bers Murphy’s band has, during nine short years, become one of the best known groups in the South. This year with a total membership of over sixty members it has on all occasions present- ed programs worthy of the school it represents and has earned for itself an invaluable record. The band takes an active part in all civic enterprises and gives special musical programs in Bien- ville Square. It occupies a prominent position in parades, including those held by the mystic societies during the Mardi Gras season. Its colorful blue and gold uniforms are a familiar fea- ture at all football games not only in Mobile but in every city Murphy plays as the members of the band accompany the team on its trips. In carrying oui its programs this group of Murphians have had the appreciation of fine music instilled in them and they have been welded into an organized unit. Any classman, provided he can maintain the high standards set by Mr. Stookoy, the able conductor, is eligible for member- ship. 29 Alice In Orchestralia Under the direction of Mr. Claude Dahmer, the Senior Orchestra is rapid- ly developing into an organization of symphonic proportions in instrumenta- tion, as well as in artistic attainments. Not only are the interpretations more effective, but due to a higher musician- ship among the players, and to the addition of new instruments, a marked improvement has been noted in the quality of tone produced by the en- semble this year. The object of the organization is to study the works of the great composers, striving to define their thoughts and intentions, and to interpret and reveal them to its audi- ence, so that all may acquire a better understanding and appreciation of music in its highest form, to develop musicians capable of playing in college, civic, and professional musical organi- zations. During the past season this orchestra, composed of about sixty young musicians, had the honor of ap- pearing in joint recital with the artist, Miss Louise Bernhart, contralto of the Chicago Civic Cpera Company.

As one of the features most frequently brought to the notice of the public, the Girls’ Glee Club has grown to be an out- standing organization of the school. In as- semblies, Parent-Teacher meetings, and social gatherings, the Glee Club numbers are always eagerly anticipated. Their popularity is not limited to the students; other audiences ap- plaud them as well. Under the excellent instruction of Lewis Stookcy, the members of the club are trained in group and individual singing as well as in duets, trios, and quartettes. Harmony is particularly emphasized and only those girls who have good voices and a natural love for Sing Sing Sing music are admitted to the organization. The Girls’ Glee Club is very popular with the students and consequently is composed of a large group. Besides affording a great deal of immediate personal pleasure, it gives the participants invaluable training for the future.

They add greatly to the enjoyment of every program in which they participate. They take an active part in the school assemblies as well as joining the Girl Glee Club and the band in presenting musical programs throughout the county. Their programs in- clude not only novelty songs which are al- ways greatly enjoyed, but also semi-classical HOYS’ GLEE CLUB Row One: Wynne. Si cmoro, Ijtutrn, Hodden. Johnnnen. Mr. Stookey. Schuck.

They have been highly praised for their work in the operettas in which they have taken part, and many of the leading roles have been taken by members of this Lah-De-Ah! group. This glee club, composed of around fifty members, has an invaluable reputation throughout this part of the country, and their programs arc always looked forward to Whoa-Ho! with a great amount of pleasure and antici- pation. These boys and their director deserve a great amount of credit for their brilliant work, since it is difficult to find voices suit- able for this type of singing with only one or two years of training possible. Every boy with a suitable voice who can carry a tune, and who is interested in learning how to read music is eligible for membership. 31 Visual Education Class; Swimming Class The Perfect Apollo The Physical Education Department started a few years ago with only two teachers and a hand- ful of pupils with no quarters or equipment. The only playground available was covered with tall weeds and undermined with drainage ditches. To- day this department has one of the finest, if not the finest, physical education units of the entire Southland. This unit is composed of three gym- nasiums—one for the boys, one for the girls, and one for dancing and corrective work. Each gym- nasium is equipped with very modem apparatus and the corrective gym has special equipment for correcting physical defects. In short, those are three modern laboratories in which to work. There is a swimming pool with the latest equipment money can buy. Adjoining the gymnasium is a physical examination building composed of eight rooms where physical examinations are given to all pupils taking physical education and to all pupils representing the school in varsity competi- tion. The varsity department has its own dressing room, showers, lockers, and offices. The playground is composed of eight acres of ground, grassed and surrounded by a hedge and an eight-foot fence. The playing area is laid out for football with floodlights and bleachers in horseshoe shape. There is a varsity baseball dia- mond and six playground ball diamonds, a cinder track, two soccer or fieldball fields, five outdoor basketball courts, five volleyball courts, six tcnn:s Mr. BridKOwatcr Mi 8 Thomason Miss Abbot Mr Grcor Mis Hutchinson Itiuiminton Player The Perfect Apollo courts, four horseshoe courts, a clock golf course, an outdoor checkerboard, and a ringo court. Courses are offered in physical education for the entire four years of school, being compulsory the first two years and elective the last two years. The freshmen are given a general course the first year to help them select some activity in which they are interested—an activity they can continue and enjoy after leaving school. At the end of the freshman year, they are permitted to elect one of the following groups: mass games, swim- ming, gymnastics, individual activities, or dancing. When schedules are made for the sophomore year, the physical education classes are scheduled first and the pupil’s choice is never altered. In mass games, playground baseball, basketball, soccer, speedball, volleyball, and numerous other sports are offered. In swimming, strokes, diving, and first- aid are stressed together with free play. On the days swimming is not taken, tumbling and heavy apparatus is taught; also the care of the gym and equipment. In individual activities, track, archery, badminton, tennis, horseshoes, ring tennis, clock golf, shuffleboard and quoits are the main activi- ties taught. New games are constantly being added to the course. For the dancing group, folk danc- ing, tap dancing, and ballroom dancing are offered. The elective groups are allowed to choose the ac- tivity in which they are interested and help is given in that activity. Archery Work Rope Climber Row One: Jones. Murray. Driver, Woolley, Craddock.

Four courses or units of study arc offered by the Science Department of Murphy High School, two of which arc required for graduation. Of these two units, one is required in General Science the freshman year, and the other may be elected from any one of the labora- tory sciences: Biology, Chemistry, Phy- sics. This program of science does not propose any sequence of courses and a pupil may choose to elect more than one laboratory science. It is often- times advisable to elect two, especially for those who choose scientific voca- tions. Guiding principles adopted for the Science Course are: to help the adolescent boy and girl to think scien- tifically; create in them an appreciation of the scientific achievements of scien- tists of the world; correlate science with the problems of their everyday life and teach the scientific ideas so that they may carry them over into actual life situations.

Bugs and Test Tubes Fostering interest in chemistry is the aim of the Modern Alchemist. Senior chemistry students making above average grades are elected to member- ship. Field trips to local industrial plants are frequently conducted; club programs feature talks by prominent business men versed on scientific sub- jects. Officers are: Gordon Sparks, president; Taze Shepard, vice-president; George Sawada, secretary; Carolyn Swinson, treasurer; Helen Vickers, cor- responding secretary. Miss Mary Wool- ley is sponsor. One of the newer organizations of the school is the Biology Club, which was established last year in an effort to aid students in having a better un- derstanding of the widespread import- ance of practical Biology' in modern life. Any student taking Biology may join the club, and membership is also open to those who have already had Biology. For this year, the club has chosen as its goal the establishment of a Scientific Biological Museum, which, when completed, will be a source of great pride to all Murphians. CHKMISTRY Row One: Ajree.

Pioneers of Science Organized by a group of science enthusiasts this year, the Junior Acadamy of Science invites eminent speakers to address the club at least once a month. The organ- ization is composed of both Juniors and Seniors. All business of the club is recommended and carried out by the officers, who are: William Back Taylor, president; Billy Wood, vice-president; and Ben Albert Prince, sec- retary. The chief aim of the academy for this year is to get away from the study of high school and element- ary chemistry, and to introduce the student to college chemistry and its benefits to civilization. For the benefit of those students who wish to learn to develop, print, take and enlarge kodak pictures, the Photography Club, composed of sixty members, was organized. During the 1936-37 session, the following officers served the club: Billy Wood, president; Gerry Norton, vice-president; Lucien Bates, secretary; Harold Reed, treasurer; with Mr. Matt Lawler as sponsor. Dur- ing each period of the day, two members of the club are assigned to the “dark room” in the Biology Building, to practice making pictures. The organization meets during assembly period once every two weeks at which time the club business is attended to and interesting programs are given.

No high school, today, is either modern or well-equipped unless it provides well- chosen books, magazines, newspapers, and pamphlets to meet the needs of its students. Murphy’s library has on its shelves, and continues to add thereto, material to furnish incentives to better home living; better citi- zenship in school and in the community; better manhood and womanhood in the making. There are books and pamphlets that give the boys and girls a chance to dis- cover the opportunities offered, and the qualifications required, by the vocation which they may desire to enter. And since “all work and no play” makes Jack, and Jill, too, dull and one-sided citizens, the shelves hold much that is intended for pleasure reading. The library offers the material on open shelves and leaves the students free to come at their study hours, or before and after class hours to select the desired object of information. It permits them to borrow for home use, the books that they find to serve their needs. Librarians and student assistants are at hand to help the pupils find materials and to show them how to use the books. Bulletin boards, in the reading rooms and in the corridor adjacent, intro- duce the students to new books through colorful book- jackets, lists of “Recently Added” titles, or by special notices of material or happenings that are of interest to certain groups. The library staff seeks faithfully to meet the needs and enjoyments of the students and to provide the inspiration that will lead to greater living. Minn Moffat Mi Gatlin Mi Smith Mr . I) -v -lbi 38 Come And Get It Mi Gresham Mr . McIntyre Mr . Brown I.unch Hour The Murphy High Cafeteria had its beginning in February, 1915, at Barton Academy. It was located in the rear of the school, where there was a very small kitchen but no place for service to students. Miss Hat- tie Gresham started with one cook, and sometimes she sold the food which the Home Economic classes pre- pared. This has always been self-supporting, furnishing repairs, and paying for the services rendered. When this phase of school life moved from Barton to Murphy, the School Board presented some new’ equipment. On a Friday, the cafeteria served lunch at Barton, and the following Monday served lunch out at Murphy. Since that time, our lunchroom has continued to grow. The cafeteria employs seven cooks, one laundress, two white women who keep it clean, and it is thoroughly cleaned on Saturdays. All of the meals are carefully planned and served. Mrs. H. H. McIntyre is the able and capable assistant. Miss Hattie Gresham filled this position at Barton, and she is now’ the manager of the Murphy High School cafeteria. Each day, lunch is served to practically all the faculty and to approximately twenty-five hundred members of the student body. Students are employed by the cafeteria to do different jobs, such as: serving the teachers, setting their tables, filling the counters for the students, cleaning trays, and anything that will be of credit to the school and to themselves. These students receive for their services from fifteen to twenty-five cents daily for lunch. The cafeteria is located at the northern end of the campus between the Arts and Aca- demic Buildings. The school and its supporters wish that every Mobilian could pay this school a visit, but most of all inspect this wonderful cafeteria. 40 OIK!. RESERVES Row One: Rudd, Jones. Simon, Gordon.

We Serve the Multitude Behind the curtain is carried on system- atically the expert building of scenery, the moving of props, and the lighting and sound effects of all theatrical productions at Mur- phy High School. Under the supervision of Mr. Bridgewater, the stage crew promotes plays, assemblies, special performances, and rules efficiently the scene backstage. Under the supervision of Mr. Houser eleven Murphians of the fairer sex clad in robes of blue and gold, mingle with the crowds who flock by thousands to Murphy’s stadium for gridiron battles, selling candies, peanuts, pop- corn and cold drinks to the eager fans. With I will strive to face life squarely” as a slogan for both the Junior and Senior units of the Girl Reserves, and with Miss Hazel Driver as an understanding, competent sponsor, this organization is probably the best builder of true upright women citizens in Murphy High School. Their aim is to find and give their best, and although they partici- pate in many worthy causes, a great deal of their time is spent in recreations such as dancing, dramatics, music, and handicraft. The building of strong characters is the pur- pose of this organization. PANTHERS Row One: McLeod. Kostmayer. Mr. II u u ■ e r, Denmark, Scott. Bethea. Row Two: Carlson, Tetley. Herrin. Oswald.

We are Soldiers Three While other organizations carry on sys- tematically the work of creating and main- taining high standards of Christian character throughout the school service organizations are receiving credit for innumerable tasks and services to the school and community. The Murphy Hi-Y affords the opportunity of obtaining knowledge in vocation for its mem- bers through the fact that on various occa- sions speakers are asked to address the club regarding their respective professions. On Thanksgiving the club aided the unfortunates by giving baskets and on “Welfare Day theirs was one of the many booths turning in a bountiful proceed from sales to aid in the welfare work of the school. The Usher Club, under the sponsorship of Miss Cole, assistant in all entertainments held in our auditorium and have been a credit to the school by their willingness to please. The Office Club, under Miss Fitzgerald, offer their services to running errands for the Administrative Department and helping stu- dents perplexed with school problems. Fran- cis Kelly has served as president of the workers this year. William Buck Taylor is president of the Hi-Y, and the Usher Club has no officers. USHERS Row One: Domeran ville. Bat- tint . McRae.

This gift when presented to the school will represent the grateful appreciation and heart- felt gratitude that our Class shall forever have for Murphy High School. For the sixth year, Mrs. Lois Breland was elected as sponsor of the Senior Class, and with her helpful guidance, together with the fine cooperation of all the members of the Class, this year has been a most successful one for the Seniors. William Taylor was chosen to lead the Senior Class as President; W. G. Larson, Vice-president; Richard Cun- ningham, Secretary; and Gerry Norton, Treasurer. Because of the illness of Mrs. Breland, Miss Michael was elected sponsor for the fourth quarter. Senior Prom Vvp°L it. 1, Welch. Iluah, Norton 2. Conover 2. Lord and Derrer 4. Wood S.

Seventh Heaven One of more than 1,200 chapters throughout the United States, the Murphy National Honor Society was organized in the spring of 1923. For three years it functioned under the sponsorship of Miss Anna Mary Sclater, and since that time Miss Virginia d’Ornellas has been faculty advisor. Corresponding to Phi Beta Kappa, a college hon- orary fraternity, membership in the National Honor Society is the highest honor attainable in high school. The record of a student’s work for the four years is considered by teachers in recom- mending pupils. Names of students recommended are passed upon by a faculty committee, and finally by the entire faculty. When considering students for membership, teachers weigh carefully the merits of character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Character is mostly determined by his attitude at school. Scholarship is based on the four-year record. Under leadership come offices held in school or- ganizations and contributing to or winning in con- tests. Service includes being a monitor or helper and co-operating in school projects. Wherever it is worn, the National Honor Society pin, which bears the torch of wisdom and the letters C.S.L.S., signifies all that is highest and finest in high school life. 60 How One: Havard.

Francine Havard, Prctf. of Quill and Scroll The Elect Side by side with the National Honor Society stands the Quill and Scroll—more formally known as the International Honor Society for High School Journalists. It is composed of students culled from the Murphy High Times and the Mohian staffs, and others distinguished for writing ability who have been recommended for membership. To be eli- gible for membership, the student must be a junior or senior, in the upper third of his class in general scholastic standing, and must have done superior work in writing, editing or business management. The local chapter was established at Murphy in 1927. There are over 800 chapters, located all over the United States, in Hawaii, England. China. British Honduras, and Alaska. Twelve thousand young journalists belong to the organization. The official organ of the society is the Quill and Scroll, a magazine which contains articles helpful to young journalists and their publications. Members are initiated into the society at the annual meeting, where they are given their pins and a certificate of membership. They also elect officers for the coming year. Officers elected for 1936-’37 are: President, Francine Havard; Vice- president, Marjorie Alonzo; Secretary-treasurer, Margaret Kohn; Typist, Eida Swift; and Historian, Ben Albert Prince. 61 CHILDREN Aware of the fact that they have only one year of high school after this, the Junior Class en- thusiastically participated in the campus activities. Under the ca- pable guidance of their sponsor. Miss Smith, they save a Spring dance in honor of the Senior Class. The Junior Class euected the following officers for 1936-37: President, Edith Hoyle; Vice- president, Frances Wilson; Sec- retary, D. R. Dunlap; Treasurer, Dottie Gene Greer; Representative to the Student Council, Lucille Dorgan, Cecile Howard, Marie Posey, and Robert Cousins. INFANTS The nine hundred members of the Freshman Class soon assumed the responsibilities of high school life by bustling to distribute peti- tions for those they thought com- petent to hold high offices. Sib- ley Greer was eleced president; Martha Louise Clark, vice-presi- dent; Lois Risen, secretary; Joe Neal, treasurer; Patty Pillans and Earl McMurphy, representatives to Student Council. February the fourth was the crowning point of the year, the date of the class party which con- sisted of coronation ceremonies for Queen Shirley Gill and King Noel Turner, games, and dancing. TOTS Numbering around eight hun- dred students, the Sophomore Class is led by Jim Radcliffc, president; Bobbie Norton, vice- president; Carolyn Shepard, sec- retary; and Christine Chiepalich, treasurer. The class representa- tives on the Student Council are: Martha Gerherdt, Helen Duggar, and Dorothy Wood. The Sopho- more Class party is one of the most important social events of the year, usually given in the spring. This year it was a dance held in the gymnasium. Sophomores are very much interested in all cam- pus activities. 62 1. Warren 2. Hill. Rencher. Greer 8. Rohm. Bush. and Moulton 4. Gorey 6. Clark 6 Pritchard 7. Irby 8. Dor- Kan 9 Alvarez. Ros 10.

Although this is his first season here, Coach Joe Sharpe has taken hold of his responsibilities with alacrity. His motto seems to be “Never say die!”, for in the face of several disheartening defeats, he inspired the football eleven to a great ending with a tie and four sensational victories over the largest schools in the state. J. H. Greer, as basketball coach, has turned out an undefeated team. He is a real friend to his boys and, together with Lee Bridgewater, has given numberless underclassmen a fuller and more pleasant understanding of the gymnasium and its use. As athletic director, that genial gentleman, B. T. Dobbins, has had the task of scheduling every one of the games. Added to that, he is the golf coach. At the head of finances is Ray Venman, who has been in charge of the sale and collection of tickets for all athletic events.

Green i L. i During the year the Murphy banner was raised four times in triumph, while the eleven from the “million-dollar institution bowed their heads in defeat in four others. One frame was recorded in the tie column. Wins were registered over Citron- elle, Phillips of Birmingham, McGill and U.M.S. Murphy lost to Woodlawn High of Birmingham, Ramsay Tech of Birmingham. Pensacola, and Springhill Frosh. The annual combat with Sidney Lanier of Montgomery ended in a 7-7 deadlock. The season opened with a heavy and more ex- perienced team than ever faced the Panthers in the past schedule, the Springhill Frosh. Although a practice game, both teams showed intense fighting and digging to cup the victory. It ended in a 6-0 favor for the “junior Badgers.” The fighting but unexperienced Citronelle High School team was the first victim of the Gilded Panthers, which ended in a 39-0 victory. The backfield, slow and listless in the game with the Frosh the week before, smashed the line and swept around ends with the zip and power which defied all opposition. The backs also contributed block- ing that paved the way for his ball-carrying mates. The line with the ferocity of a wounded hippopota- mus charged in to break up many of the Wildcats plays before the backs could get the chance. On the offense, the linemen opened gaping holes for the swivel-hipped backs to move on to their touch- down marches. An aerial attack featured by short tosses over the center of the line brought the vis- itors their only scoring chances of the game, but their sudden shift from the air to the ground, where Murphy was practically impregnable, as they neared the goal lost them their opportunity to score. Coach Bill Sharpe started his second string eleven and they counted the first score of the game was the seventy yard run by Drury had see-sawed up and down the field. Fillette, right tackle, blocked Gartman’s punt on the Citron- elle twenty-two yard line. A pass from Mason to McAuley was completed for a nineteen yard gain to the three yard line. Derrer smashed the line for a touchdown and Mason skirted around end for the extra point. The most spectacular run of the game was the seventy yard run by Drury which brought another six points to the Blue and Gold. It may well be said that Rufus Drury and John Mason were the heroes of that game. They ran the ends and swept through tackles with deter- mination to prove themselves to be the best backs in the city. The fighting Murphy team fought m a terrific effort, but dropped a 20-0 struggle to the Magic City squad, Woodlawn. The Panthers fought game- ly against overwhelming odds that would have crushed the spirit of a less stout-hearted eleven. Time and again Murphy smashed the lines but did not make many appreciable gains against the forward wall that averaged two hundred pounds from end to end. The dangerous offensive weapon which proved to be very successful was the wide end sweep with little Rufus Drury carrying the ball. He responded in notable fashion and outran all of the defensive wall and stopped only when downed by a vicious-tackling secondary. Brilliant block- ing by Captain Don Williams, replacing Otey Strickland at fullback, made the way easy for Drury’s task. The Murphy forward men rose to super-human strength when their goal line was threatened, and stopped the vaunted upstate at- tack cold and forced them to resort to the air to score all their touchdowns. The touchdowns for the upstate team were scored by Sam Sharpe and Holt Rast. The Panthers made their final offensive BROWN DIAMOND FILLETTE DRURY -' - f • i. '■ ' HOUSTON w. KAMPHUIS - HAVENS ■ ■ HARRIS threat when Williams caught a long forward pass from Mason and ran it from his own ten yard line for a forty-five yard gain. The chance to score fizzled out, however, when three passes were knocked down by a Woodlawn secondary. Murphy gave one of the greatest exhibitions of raw courage ever to be seen on a local gridiron. The Birmingham eleven nosed out the Panthers in a thrilling 13-12 contest. Ramsey Tech scored seven of their thirteen points with the ticker hav- ing but two minutes to run. That means a thriller in any school ball-yard. Murphy scored what seemed to be the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter, which made the score 12-6. The kick-off; and Ramsay returned the oval to their own forty yard line. A long pass from Allan to Hewlitt brought the ball on the Blue and Gold’s forty yard line. Two more passes were to no avail and it seemed that Murphy’s defense was going to stem the aerial attack, but another forty yard pass from Allan to Bishop was completed. The score was tied 12-12. The question was: was Howell, who was back in the punt formation position, going to make the placement good? If he did. the score would be 13-12 with one and one-half minutes to play. Tt was good, an accurate kick between the posts but that did not upset the Panthers. With one and one-half minutes and Tech kicking off to Murphy, Drury returned the oval thirty yards which now put the ball on the fifty yard line. First down and ten to go. They went for another fifteen yards. Again they did the same, but be- fore the score was made, the gun sounded, which gave Ramsay Tech the victory. Both teams fought hard as their score indicated. While Murphy's line, especially Havens, Diamond. McGillberry and Stimpson, stood out as a defensive unit, the speedy Blue and Gold ball carriers did their part in scor- ing. Harris, Drury, and Williams did a lion’s share. A fast charging Pensacola High School team punched over a touchdown in the first quarter and held on to their lead for the remainder of the game to defeat the Murphy High Panthers, 6-0. The touchdown resulted in a strong drive down the middle of the field. Mattox, captain of the Pensacola squad, made the scoring plunge. Mur- phy came back with an almost irresistable force, but seemed as the odds were against them. Her- alded as one of the strongest lines in the state, the Blue and Gold’s wall was cracking before the surging power of the Florida team. The outstand- ing offensive star for Murphy was Drury, who gained more yardage than any other one man dur- ing the game. Captain Don Williams, who re- turned to his end position during the contest, turned in a great defensive game that kept the visitors worried all through the grid battle. Kelly and Mattox were outstanding: on defense. The Golden Clad Panthers unset the dopebucket in holding: the highly rated Lanier Poets, from Montgomery, to a 7-7 tie. After scoring their touchdown, which was due to a bad Murphy punt early in the first quarter, the Lanier team could not muster another drive that registered more than three or four yards. Murphy was constantly in the Poets’ territory, but only able to push over one touchdown. Rufus Drury, The Murphy Mercury, shot through the center of the line for the score. A pass to Williams was completed for the extra point. Kilgrow fumbled the kick-off and Houston recovered for Murphy deep in the Jungle Cat’s territory. Wilson made a first down on the ten yard line, but the backs were unable to penetrate the Poet’s defense and the ball went over on the four yard line. The Poets kicked out to the twenty- eight and another drive was launched. On the first down the ball was fumbled, and Houser re- covered for Lanier. Smith flipped a pass to Houser for twenty-five yards but the passing attack failed to click again and the game ended with Murphy in possession of the oval. Williams and Diamond played a great defensive game while L. G. Wilson was the main back in the Panther offense. Ed- wards and Houser were stars for the Poets. For the fourth straight year the Murphy Pan- thers turned back the Phillip Crimsons, defeating the Birmingham eleven 13-7, led by Rufus Drury, whose accurate passing and sparkling runs kept the Murphy offense rolling along. Williams turned in the best run of the game for a touchdown, but as his knee hit the ground the ball was called back. With end sweeps, short passes, and Harris’ smash through the center of the line, the Panthers tallied the first score. Phillips began a comeback late in the third quarter resulting with Hedrick scoring on a thrust at center. Hedrick’s placekick for the extra point was good. The other Murphy score was a completed eighteen yard pass from Drury and a long run by Houston. The try for the extra point was an accurate kick over the bars. The Murphy Panthers won the first game toward the city prep grid title, by overpowering the Mc- Gill Yellowjackets, 30-12. Murphy took McGill’s kick-off and was not stopped until a Murphy fum- ble was recovered by the Jackets on the ten yard line. McGill kicked and going but five yards was downed on the fifteen. Drury and Harris com- bined their efforts to push the oval to the cashiers window. The touchdown came when Harris plunged right tackle. Drury’s pass to Williams failed for the extra point in the second period. The Gilded Panthers found themselves on the McGill one yard line after Fillette recovered a fumble in mid-field.

The McGill eleven threatened a tally when McFayden ran fifty yards and was finally downed by Drury. In the next play the ball was fum- bled and recovered by Diamond. Murphy made a center field drive to McGill’s thirty and a long pass from Wilson to Williams tallied the half’s last scoring efforts. After the kick-off the McGill eleven pushed the leather to the Murphy’s seven- teen. Crawford Adams scored on an end dash. The extra points during the entire game were so scarce no team secured any. The Panthers brought the ball to the opponent’s forty-five yard line and Houston with excellent interference ran the oval for a tally and the game was ended. Coach Bill Sharpe’s boys won on ability while Williams and Wilson starred offensively. For the losers Mc- Fayden and Perez were the main threats. By defeating the U.M.S. Cadets, 6-0, the Mur- phy Panthers captured the City Championship of the “Big Three’’. Murphy’s score was the result of a long line drive and then a completed pass from Houston to Williams. Wrights received the kick-off but failed to gain any yardage by two at- tempted line plays, so punted to Murphy’s thirty- two yard line. With Harris doing most of the running, the Panthers made two first downs in 86 Ramsay-Murph y: Murril opens way for Drury McGill-Murphy: Murphy downs Poroz goes Ramsay-Murphy: Mason got hit short order, but the Cadets came to life at this point and the Sharpe eleven were forced to punt. On the next U.M.S. play, Martin reversed with Crabtree and shot a long pass to Davis which net- ted a first-down on Murphy’s eight yard line. Two line plays and two aerial tosses failed which gave the ball to Murphy. This started the touchdown march with Drury and Harris alternating in car- rying the oval through tackles and around ends. Running up three first downs the oval was placed on the U.M.S. forty yard line. Drury, in the next three tries took the ball thirty-two yards, then Houston shot a fiery pass to Williams who ran over the stripe standing up. A line play failed for the extra point. Murphy was in possession of the ball as the final quarter started near midfield. They ran up two first downs but the drive ended and a pass ovqr the goal on the fourth down gave the ball to the Cadets on their own twenty yard line. The Cadets fumbled and Murphy took possession of the oval on U. M.S.’s ten yard line. But as the Panthers were trying in vain to score another six points the game ended. Captain Don Williams, Havens, Harris, Houston and Diamond stood out for the titleholders, while Capt. Joe Crabtree, Barnes, Davis and Scott were main offensive threats for the Cadets. 3 Jj T 33 Row One: Mmon, Chnsuk. Whitehurst. Drury. Griffith. Row Two: Mill . Scott. Wil- liam , Clement . Diamond. Mallory. Campbell. Captain Whitehurst Murphy Merry-Go-Round Coach Greer The well-known Panther “merry-go-round”, with its scheduled season, went straight through unde- feated. Playing sixteen games and seven teams, city and local, Murphy captured the city cham- pionship and the district championship. They showed brilliant playing in the state tournament but as several of the Panther regulars received injuries in the district meet they were unable to play in full blast. The high-powered Murphy basketball team of 1937 opened the season by defeating Pensacola 31-11. This was just the start toward their goal, the district championship. Because this was the only game to be played against the Jungle Cats, the Greer-coached squad wanted to make a thor- ough job of them. Starting the season in full blast, Murphy ran up a big score on the first game. Murphy, still with the zip and power as in the first game, ran over the McGill Yellow Jackets in three fast games. In the first, the Panthers downed the Jacket quintet 18-11. During all the games played with its city opponents, the Blue and Gold had difficulty in overcoming the smart defense which McGill brilliantly showed. In the second game played between the two city teams, the flashing Murphy team encountered an over- whelming score of 33-5 to humble the McGill squad. In this game the McGillians’ defense was caught flat-footed several times, as the fast- breaking Murphy players sped goalward. After cinching the city title, the last game with the Orange and Black was played and won by defeat- ing them 18-11. All during the year the Mur- phians kept a steady pace in their scoring efforts.

Two games were played with the Citronelle five, who immediately found the odds against them. The first game, which was played in early season, ended in a 36-12 decision for the Murphy Merry- Go-Round. In the second, the Citronelle squad was downed again by a score of 40-17. It was in the first of these games that Murphy’s defense was getting as strong as their offense. And it was in the later game that put little Rufus Drury, of Murphy, high point man. In this game he scored 20 of the 40 points. Coming on down the coast to play the only game of the season with the Biloxi Indians, the Panthers found their toughest foe waiting for a victory. In the first part of the game it did look as though it was going to be a victory for the Indians be- cause in the first three minutes of play the Biloxi squad scored 10 points. The Biloxi High School finally fell before the undefeated team, 40-36. Captain Whitehurst, of Murphy, starred especially in his floor work and goal shooting. The Murphy Scoring Circus, paced by Captain Howard Whitehurst, defeated the U. M. S. “Shoot- ing Stars” in three successive hardwood battles. In their first contest of the season the Cadets were downed 43-23. Being a very fast game with the Soldiers battling savagely to overcome the Panther lead, they were too closely guarded by the Blue and Gold backcourt patrol. Chasuk and Dia- mond especially starred in this game for the Pan- thers. In the next battle, U. M. S. seemed to have had plenty of practice and coaching since the last game. They came out to beat Murphy and the Panthers were hard-pressed in beating the “Shoot- ing Stars” in an exciting game, 17-14. Clements starred, while Griffith played brilliantly for the Murphy five on the defense. By defeating the Soldier Quintet a third time, 28-19, the Murphy High Panthers cinched the city title. The Panthers sprang up a lead early in the game and kept it throughout, in spite of the determined challenge for fightings. Ellis, Clements, and Griffith were the mainstays for the Blue and Gold. On to victory and the Panthers’ cage team trounces Foley in three successive games. First taking them by a small majority, 37-31. All through the basketball record is “spotless”, no losses and no close games. The two teams battled on even terms throughout the first half, but after that, the Blue and Gold made pace and the game Diamond. Drury. Ellis, Matfon Clement , Chasuk. Griffith, Whitehurst ended while the Panthers were in their scoring spirit. Johnny Mason, Panther forward, starred by his brilliant passing and shooting. The Foley Lions again invaded the Panther team only to be turned away by a score of 25-21. This game was really nip-and-tuck throughout. At the end of the half the score was 10-10 and at the end of the third period it was 20-20. It was in the closing minutes when the Blue and Gold merry-go-round was good for five points. Again the Lions wanted more. This time they were finished when the hardwood battle ended 48-12 for the mighty Panthers. This was probably the fastest game of the season and probably the worst Murphy beat anyone. By a score of 25-21, the Murphy Panthers en- countered one of the two wins from the strong Fail-hope quintet. The Blue and Gold were forced to stage a spirited closing rally to eke out the Fairhope five. Both teams played swell defen- sively but Murphy did a little better offensively. The result of the next game was 35-22. Like the first, both fives did excellent defensive work but the Merry-Go-Round” did a little better offen- sivelyX At the end of the first half the score was 10-8 for Murphy and finally ended up in a big score. So coming to conclusions, one knows how exciting the last half must have been. Phillips, an undefeated team with the exception of one game, was downed in an unfinished battle 15-12. With the Murphy five leading 15-12 and six minutes to play of the final quarter, the Phillips’ coach ordered his team off the floor when a Phillips’ forward was ejected from the game. It was a very exciting game, with Mason, Drury and Captain Whitehurst doing most of the scoring for the Greer-coached squad. On to Foley for the District Tournament and Murphy takes two consecutive games, winning the tournament. First, by taking U. M. S. in a 34-19 decision, and then capturing the Foley battle by a score of 24-20. In the first five minutes to play of the first game Captain Whitehurst sprained his ankle badly and was out for the rest of the Dis- trict Tournament and the State Tourney. By winning the Distrist Tourney the Panther five was eligible for the State Tourney. Even though two of Murphy’s mainstays were out. Captain Whitehurst and James Griffith, they went up there to win but were downed by New Hope. This game ended the most interesting and most exciting sea- son in the history of school sports. 1937 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Murphy 28; U. M.

Kelley Swing-Masters Murphy’s golf teams have in the past boasted names of champions and experts and again this year four youths stand ready to defend their school’s name. Ma- lone McMillan, protege of Oak Hills and a long successful title-holder, will carry on as number one man. and will meet in this position the best that any team can offer. McMillan’s powerful driver will open up any course to him as it has done in the past and will make him a tough opponent to any man. Number two man will be Bobby Rehm, the only letterman to return. Rehm’s experience on the links as a Murphy golfer last year and as a persistent figure plugging away par on Mobile’s courses offer him a fine chance to win his points for the team. Jack Campbell’s experience as a protege of Joe Burch, Mobile County Club professional, has made him able to take the position of number three man. Fourth comes Jack Kelley, whose father is a professional, and has, since the youth could walk, taught him to swing, will wind up the list as Mur- phy’s fourth man. Probable opponents for these swing- masters will be Montgomery, who boasts three Homers, a name that will be writ- ten in the history of Alabama Golf, and Pensacola. Some talk has been about as to the formation of an inter-city league and the renewal of competition for the J. Gilbert Burton trophy won by and now in possession of Murphy. May the link- sters have the greatest of luck and may they swing Murphy’s name down the fair- way and on the green unblemished, unde- feated, and high in the estimation of all. 90 Coach Greer— Manager Mill The Murphy High School Panthers started the baseball season by defeating the Bay Minette Ball Club, 9-0. This was quite a different start from that of last year when Murphy was downed by the U. M. S. squad, 11-8. This victory did not make the Gilded Panthers overrate themselves. They have made up their minds to have the most successful year in high school history. In every season there has to be at least one downfall and the game with McGill seemed to be the one. Murphy was downed 10-1 in a very ex- citing game. It was in this battle that the well- known “Mitzi’' Walker fanned ten of Murphy’s players and chalked up four hits for himself. An- other brilliant showing was made by the Panthers centerfielder, James Griffith. Several times he made beautiful catches of hard hit balls, snaring them on a dead run, one handed, by diving on his nose. A triple by Mason and a wild pitch gave Murphy their only score. This loss will prove of much help to the Panthers before the season is over. ... , The candidates for pitchers this year will be Fayard, Clemments, Hudson and Rowell. Ed Fayard, a successful pitcher from last year, will lead the list as number one man. Bill Clemments, center and guard on this year’s basketball team, will more than likely be the number two man.

Jackson Ellis up to bat for Murphy Murphy 9—Bay Minette 0 •John Rowell and Hudson, newcomers, will be the others. Everyone knows that the pitcher is about the most responsible person on the field. He is one who starts the ball in motion, the one with the aid of the catcher, who guesses the weakness of the batter, it is up to him to throw a ball close enough over the plate for the batter to hit or miss and one if he hits will go into the hands of one of the other players. For the other side of the battery we have two experienced catchers, “Mutt” Emerson and Schrink, both of whom are back from the 1936 squad. Coach Greer depends a lot on these two men to hold up their side of the battery. Many persons have often seen catchers kneeling right under the batter and wondered why he dosn't ever get hit by a swinging bat. He is really out of the reach of the bat and safely guarded against injuries. So there is little danger if you know how it is done. Going around the bases we find Ross Diamond, a tall, capable first baseman, who played the same position last year. Stealing second we meet Glen Spain and Harry Malette. Two worthy basemen are in Malette, a newcomer, and Spain, whose experience will be helpful. By a beautiful hit into right field, we travel on to third and there we find none other than Harry Byrne, a very depend- Ma n. Griffith. Faynrd. Spain. Scott able baseman and hitter. With this probable line up for the infield, you can see the reason for a big successful year. No wonder the infield has been called the irresistable force. Now for the outfield, in right field, we have another basketball champ. James Griffith, the most promising player. The two most natural players are in Scott, center field, and “Bill” Ellis, left field. Also in right field, Simms is playing a bang up game. Because of his fleetness and alert- ness little Johnny Mason will play the responsible position of short stop. Mason, a very hard slug- ger, will probably have one of the highest batting averages of the squad. The 1937 Blue and Gold Ball Club elected for its captain. Ross Diamond, a cool, good natured loader, who fits right into a captain’s position. He has the pep to encourage his men with the spirits that they are Panthers and not mere mice to be tread on. He knows the meaning of teamwork and injects the spirit into his teammates. Coach Henry Greer, one of the South’s leading authorities on baseball and basketball, plans an eventful year with his baseball team. As most good things come in a series of three, and now that we have won the championship in football and basketball, we can only evoect to do as well in baseball.

Although tennis does not at- tract the thousands as other sports might in the hearts of these boys, Murphy’s name must be untarnished on the courts as well as in those other sports. Walter Larson. Mobile’s Junior Championship Titleholder, leads the racketeers. His phe- nomenal rise to fame at seventeen, ranks him as number three in the entire city and has already spread his name in head- lines across the sports page. Close_ behind him as the number two man is swingmas- ter Billy Wood, at sixteen, rated Mobile’s number twelve man. Billy’s name is not in the headlines as yet, but just give the boy a chance. Number three man is Bill Drake, whose serve will sweep him to vic- tory over many an opponent, if he marches on as he has in preceding months. J. L. Bedsole will hold down the fourth berth as a potent threat at anyone’s record, and Honor Student Taze Shepard is the prob- able candidate for the fifth position. Bob McLeod, Kay Moore, and Bill I)odd stand ready to receive the handle of a racket upon the call of Coach Douglas. The team will invade Pensacola with determination to avenge last year’s dual trouncing given them by the naval city, the C.C.C. camp at Citronelle, and Gulfport. Wright’s and McGill are probable opponents in an inter- city duel for a high school title. With this team and these opponents Murphy’s name will be spread across the court from base line to base line. May Murphy’s racket stand undefeated. 94 Ellis, Battiste, Savacool Step-And-F etch-It The Panther Thinlies opened the sea- son for track by defeating the Pensacola squad ten out of fifteen events. Melvin Battiste was high point man of the meet. The following is a summary of Murphy wins: 120-yard high hurdles—Battiste 1st; shot-put—Battiste 1st and Ekkus 3rd; 100- yard dash—Mason 2nd and Abercrombie 3rd; Mile—Crowley 1st; Pole vault—Sava- cool 1st and Lamey 2nd; 200—Drury 2nd and Mason 3rd; 440—Fillette 2nd and Haw- kinson 3rd; Discus-throw—Barnett 1st and Harris 2nd; High jump—Tie for Harris and Battiste; 200-yard low hurdles—Grif- fith 1st and Chesky 2nd; 880-yard run— McClary 1st and Hawkinson 2nd; Broad jump—Mason 3rd; Sprint medley relay— Murphy; Mile relay—Pensacola. Pensacola, determined to win one meet, invaded our city only to be turned away defeated. During this track meet Lyndall Barnett was the outstanding contestant. He broke the discus mark set by Murphy players. It happened to be his own record that he broke. The old mark of 105 feet. 9 inches.

Footlights At Murphy the dramatic department of the Four Arts Club has long been one of the most prominent organizations. The club was begun in the fall of 1926 under the leadership of Mrs. Louise Knudsen Hamil. Its first play, Shaw’s “Arms and the Man”, was presented in December of that same year to an audience so large that extra seats were needed in the audi- torium. After five years, when Mrs. Hamil left Murphy, the club was taken over by Miss Elizabeth Donovan, who, after two years, left school to be married. Miss Ruth Schall took Miss Donovans’ place as director for five years, but at the begin- ning of this year, she too succumbed to Cupid’s arrows. Mrs. Hamil is again director, assisted by Miss Ruth Knudsen. The most recent production of the Four Arts Club was “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm”, a four-act comedy by Kate Doug- las Wiggin and Charlotte Thompson. This story, familiar to almost everyone, was given a praiseworthy performance by a well-directed group of players, and was enthusiastically received by large audi- ences. The cast follows: Abijah Flagg. J. B. Booth; Abner Simpson, Jim Moran; Mrs. Simpson. Barbara Curjel; Miranda Sawyer, Lillian Conover; Jane Sawyer, Mabel Schock; Mrs. Perkins, Jeanne Bar- ton; Adam Ladd, Hylman Nelson; Jere- miah Cobb, Edgar Arendall; Rebecca Rowens Randall, Lucy Dickinson; Emma Jane Perkins, Betty Lowry; Minnie Smel- lie, Dorothy Wood; Alice Robinson, Marian Dannheisser; Clara Belle Simpson, Mar- garet Hawkinson. 98 Left: Frazier.

Spotlight On December 11 the Four Arts Club opened its season with the production of three one-act plays. The first of these plays, “The Romanc- ers”, was a comedy on the Romeo-Juliet theme by Edmond Rostand. The role of Perci net, a lover, was well acted by Jack Meador, while Sylvette, the object of his affections, was played equally as well by Mary Leigh Brown in the afternoon per- formance and Roberta Billups at night. The supposedly irate fathers were played by John d’Ornellas and William Taylor. Eugene Walter was splendid as Straforel. The second play was “The Message of Khufu” by Cottman-Shaw. Edwin Zel- nicker ably portrayed Professor Hardin, the archaeologist. Two deserters from the Foreign Legion were capably played by Jim Moran and Billy Stimpson. with Mac Bell as the coward. The last play of the group was Booth Tarkington’s “The Trysting Place”. This play had an almost entirely double cast. Charles Tate and Richard Cunningham were both excellent as Lancelot Briggs. Margaret Kohn and Gloria Shaw were well cast in the part of Mrs. Curtis, the young widow. The part of Jessie, Lancelot’s sis- ter, was taken by Ann Frazer and Winona Brock, while Julian McPhillips and Jack Campbell played opposite Jessie as Rupert Smith. Jeanne Barton and Helen Duggar were good as Mrs. Briggs, Lancelot’s mother. As Mr. Ingoldsby, Mrs. Briggs’ girlhood sweetheart, Billy Haas pleased both audiences. J. T. Murphree was the Mysterious Voice.

Their knights and maids are next: Gordon (Buzzy) Sparks and Eloisc Neville; Norman Hutchings and Rosemary Cowles. Ah! The Junior court! In the center Maisie Hill grins with her king, Aubrey Toulmin. On the left is her maid, Lucy Dorgan, with her knight, Thomas Bender. To the right is Lucille Rencher and Edward McGehee. Coming down a notch we spy the Sophomore queen, delight- ful Winona Brock, with her king, Edward Stone. Perch- ed aloft are the Sophomore knights, Edward Wagner and Bobby Marshall. Here’s a precious pair, the Fresh- man rulers—Sibley Greer and Warren McPhillips. First on the bottom row is a Freshman maid, Winifred Rowell with her knight, Jimmy Brow n. Standing next is another Freshman pair, Jimmy Adler and Lou- ise McClelland. And here we have the much photo- graphed Queens . 1. Joyce Goode and Henry I.uscher 2. Buxzy Sparks and Eloise Neville 3.

The Four Queens 102 As Others See Us Hand in hand they go. Hello! There’s that perpet- ual team, Jean Simmons and Rufus Drury, looking more Clark Gablelish than ever. Secluded in a shady cloister Daniel Pike converses with two maids. Ugh! What frowns! Dot Turner looks as if she just had castor oil. Comrades, w’e’ve told you that last minute cramming doesn’t do any good. Down the front drive stride a pre- cious pair, Francine Havard and Shirley Probst. Mar- garet Welch smiles demure- ly as Donald Williams awards us a wink. Ah! What a coy smile Eloise Neville beams at the cam- era. And here’s a happy quartet. Sprawled on the ground are Margaret Ruth Pritchard, Pete Crolich, and Lucy Dickinson. Hovering about like a guardian angel is Ray Serda. Amid the morning traffic Mabel Stev- ens is snapped. Neva Mos- kovitz seems rather interest- ed in Nat Conway. To wind things up, Tom Render and Bernard Hite grin sheep- ishly. 1. 3can Sinvra and Rufus Drury 2. Daniel Pike looks through 3.

Mr. Brown and “Bugs” Marion get together and talk it over. “Boss” Clark and “Steeple” Griggs evidently have caught some culprit guilty of a misde- meanor (definition in Mr. Webster’s book). Miss All- man forgets her English, re- members her manners, and smiles for the cameraman. Smiling Sam”, that man from “Alabam” and a cronie. Miss Cole steps out after lunch. Reducing? Miss Griffin looks over her left shoulder at the moon and makes her wish. It doesn’t concern Mr. Wilkie, does it? Mr. Pillans seems attached to the lone perfect paper of his classes! Miss Eanes is smiling as Mathematician Murphy tries vainly to solve one of her problems. Re- cently married Mrs. Parish takes charge of her hus- band’s pocketbook. Those Arts Building teachers stroll along as “Fundamentals” Bright watches Miss Knud- sen take a spin. 1. Knudsen And Bridgewater 2. Brown and Marion 3. Clark and Griggs 4. Allman Hand 6. Cole 7.

Next, we find romance budding in the sunny smiles that Hylman Nelson and Lucy Dickinson exchange in “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Far m.” The Philatelic Club, stamp col- lectors to you, seem awfully busy. Look out! The Arch- ery Club had better watch those arrows or there will be a dead cameraman! Actors in the special Christmas pageant. Back to nature! Miss Reynolds’ homemaking students are learning to weave. Ah, Royalty! The Freshman King and Queen of Hearts and their court. More scenes from “Rebec- ca”. The Fine Arts Club is an industrious organization. They haven’t any time to pose. And here we have Murphy’s flowery contribu- tion to the Mardi Gras Pa- rade. Helen. Jack (-amp- bell and his buddies display their aquatic ability. Sonny McPhillips is just another human fly. Who would this be in the arms of Morpheus?

Murphians at Camp 105 Knocking Around The trio of heart break- ers, Carl Brown, Handsome St. John, and Thomas Mc- Gillberry, makes three smart Kiris look sick. Coach Joe Sharpe reaches for the moon as Ross Diamond goes to the opposite extreme. It is rather an embarrassing po- sition—we don’t blame him for hiding his face. Ready for almost anything Houston prepares right now for a swift one and “Wildcat” Wilson is all set to leave in a hurry. Tired out but still kicking, Big Tom Bender carries off a closeup. “Mus- cle-bound” Strickland in a position typical of furious Panther seems set to do the dirty work. Jimmie Green gazes amazingly at Dia- mond’s comely shoulders and his masculine biceps. We wonder if these scrubs are bothered with the stom- ach ache! What did you have for dinner boys? “What a Man” Mason tosses the pig around with the greatest of ease. All in all, these are a swell bunch of fellows. 1.

Newell Byrd and Murril 10. Mason and Strickland 10G Melting Pot With blaring brasses and wild jubilation Murphy’s band goes to town before the Wright’s game. The team demonstrates its tack- ling tactics at a blue and gold assembly. On the night of the big game, “Percy the Panther” takes the spotlight with the two cheerleaders, Ruby and Ed taking a back seat, or rather, stand. Percy, who is a violent and danger- ous animal, a fitting mascot for our ferocious team, is held by heavy chains and guarded by two brave boys, one on each side. Perfectly safe though rather near to that savage beast stands the team sponsor, her maids, and their noble escorts. With broad smiles, the cap- tain’s sponsor and her maids present a striking contrast to the grim expressions of their escorts. Groups of fans peer boldly from pictures six and eleven. In cuts seven, eight and twelve, the team plys vigorously in regular work-outs. The end of a per- fect day comes with scenes of our team in action. I. Football Victory Parade 2. Football Assembly 8.

Rich- ard is exhibiting that won- derful bass voice he pos- sesses to Freshman Presi- dent Greer. The mechanic seems all ready to go; we hope Mr. Colvin doesn’t catch him. Jack Campbell, future wild west star, pre- pares himself to take Buck Jones’ place in the heart of y oung America. Talking over matters of interest are Business Manager George and Adelle. Sponsor Breland and “Noise” Sledge find something very amusing on the ground and Johnny smiles for the public. It’s a holdup! with Sam St. John’s finger on the trigger. To his interested audience Exe- cutive Jack gives a lecture on the art of publishing an annual. Keep your minds on the talk, girls. We’re glad Tony went by himself to blow off, for what a bull shooter he is. 1. Billy Wood 2. Norman Hutch, ingg and Sam St. John 3. Rich, ard Cunningham 4. John Ven drick 5. Jack Campbell 6.
