iEx ICtbrta The 1950 Trail Norman High School Norman, Oklahoma oreu ort “If you have built castles hi the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the founda- tions under them. . . .”—Hcnrv David Thoreau Down through the ages, behind man’s every accomplishment, there has been an idea—there has been a dream. Even as the men who shaped and molded our world dreamed their dreams, we, in our own way, dream ours. Often our dreams arc of little things—personal suc- cess and individual attainment, but underlying these small dreams arc the large ones—dreams of a peaceful, united world—a “perfect state. In this year of the mid-centurv, when men's hopes and dreams arc focused on the next fifty years, we feel it especially appropriate to choose as the theme of the 1950 Tkaii —dreams.

Today we stand at the mid-way mark of the twentieth century— at the threshold of a new era. We have just completed five decades filled with tremendous advancement in every field. In this same fifty year period we have witnessed the terrible conflicts and the awful strife wrought by man at his worst. But now the past is behind us; the future alone is our broad horizon. The future presents to us the challenge of the age—the challenge to make our highest ideals become living realities in the better world of tomorrow. Perhaps we arc looking forward to an age of greater achievement than the world has ever known. Perhaps we arc at the dawn of the day when military strife will cease to exist. What the future holds is up to us—individually and collectively. The future is an eternal question. It is our responsibility to seek the satisfactory answer to that question. [7] Mr. I). K.

President of the seven member board is Mr. I). K. Boyd. The main purposes of this board consist of deciding financial questions and settling student affairs. Serving as superintendent of Norman Public School is Mr. J. Don Garrison, who has held this position since 1937. Mr. Garrison is ably assisted by Mrs. S. B. Spradlin, better known simply as Mrs. “Sprad.” She serves both as clerk of the Board of Education and as treasurer of Norman High. Because of the in- creased responsibilities in the superin- tendent’s office Mrs. Dorothy Allmon was employed second semester as sec- retary to Mr. Garrison. On occasion she serves as a substitute teacher. The responsibility of keeping the cogs of Norman High well oiled falls to Mr. Lance Ewbank, efficient and popular principal for the past six years. Mrs. YV. H. Atkins, registrar, serves as Mr. Ewbank’s assistant. This year’s newly created office of Supervisor of Attendance has been successfully filled by Mrs. Willis Sto- vall.

As in Phi Beta Kappa, membership is based not only on scholarship—though that is a primary factor—but also on character, leadership, and participation in extra curricular activities. Each school activity is rated on a point system, and each candidate for National Honor Society membership must have a minimum number of activity points in order to be initiated. On the schol- arship side of the ledger, seniors must have a 2.5 grade average for their highschool career; juniors, a 2.75 average. In addition, sopho- mores Itoasting a straight A” average are admitted to the Honor Society as honorary members. This year's sophomores established somewhat of a record by placing seven class members on the hon- orary rolls. The 1950 officcrs-Hoyl Lockett, president; Richard Harkins, vice-president; Nancy Spradling, secretary; Barbara Gregg, treas- urer; and Bill Kennedy, reporter-presided at the traditional obli- gation ceremony held in April for new members.

When I do my hands this way, I mean get soft! Do I have to draw a picture for some of you? All right now, let’s try it again, and this time, watch me!” These words were familar ones to the music students this past year. It was Mrs. Emily Wyckoff, director of vocal music, taking a firm hand with her classes. Even though it was necessary to use this method on occasion, Mrs. Wyckoff remained popular with all her students. Under the direction of Mrs. Wyckoff. the vocal music de- partment reached a new peak in the appreciation of music this year. This new interest in music was shown by the enrollment. The number of students taking music doubled in a two year period. The first week of this year the mixed chorus began re- hearsals for an Armistice Day program which was given on November 11. The chorus sang the contata, “Cavalcade of America.” This was accompanied bv the high school orches- tra under the direction o f.Mr. W. C. Robinson. Also on the program were several patriotic solos and songs by the boys’ chorus and the girls’ chorus. The entire program was broadcast by KNOR, Norman's new radio station. Next came the annual Stillwater festival under the direction of Noble Cain, nationally known composer and director. The festival took place on the night of November 19, after a full day of rehearsals. The students going to the Stillwater festival reported a valuable experience. As soon as the chorus returned from Stillwater, it began rehearsals for the Chrismas program which was given on the morning of December 23. The vocal department presented a fortv-five minute program of sacred and secular music. That night the entire chorus gathered for their annual caroling party. It ended with a big chili feed at one of the student's home. The mixed chorus began the new year rehearsing for an- other festival at Oklahoma University. This festival was under the direction of Maynard Klein, well known director from Ann Arbor, Michigan. The OU festival was held on January 27-28. Students participating represented almost every section of the state. Next the department began the long and tedious job of pro- ducing the operetta which was given on March 30 and 31. The operetta was called “Rio Rico” or Rich River. Roth the Left, top to bottom: Mrs. Wyckoff plays the piano while a few second hour students sing. The four outstanding students arc Jimcll Badry, Carlos Barnett, Nancy Face, and Gordon Masters. Girls’ trio: Nita Simpson, Joyce George, and Carlenc Claxton.

Below: The music department entered this float in the Homecom- ing parade. matinee and evening performances were well received by the public. The music department went to the district and state choral contests on April 1$, 14. 15. District contest was at Oklahoma City University and state contest was at Oklahoma A. and M. college. Both the boys’ and girls’ glee clubs ami the ensembles participated in these contests. After the contests were over, the department held its annual chorus queen coronation. Earlier in the year Joan Wilson was elected chorus queen by popular vote of the student body. She received her crown on April 21. Her attendants were Neva Jo Ward, Barbara Phillcy, Alary Wilson, Barbara Britc, Barbara Wood, Della Wchmcir, Helene Harris. Patty McCarty, Carlcnc Claxton, and Alary Ellen McDaniel. Their escorts were Jamall Badry, Gordon Alasters. R. E. Wright, Quentin Spradling, La Don Watkins, Eldrcd Bates, Lionel Turner, Charles Billingsley, Roy Goodmillcr and Robert Adams. The pride of the music department this year was its en- sembles. Among those groups representing senior high were the boys' quartet, girls’ quartet, mixed quartet and girls’ trio. Those from junior high were the boys’ quartet, girls’ sextet and girls’ trio. The department was also proud of its new boys’ chorus and the senior high girls’ chorus. With the money made on last years’ operetta, “In Old Vienna,” the department bought a tape recorder, and a radio phonograph combination. 'I hese were very useful in class work and in music appreciation. The school bought the music department a new piano this year. It was appreciated very much. The department would not be complete without a good accompanist. This year there were two. They arc Barbara Gregg and Helene Harris. Barbara accompanied the entire operetta and Helene accompanied the choruses and ensembles. At the end of the year, .Mrs. Wyckoff chose the four out- standing students in vocal music. They were Carlos Barnett and Jimell Badry, from senior high; Gordon .Masters and Nancy Pace, from junior high. These four and Barbara Gregg, because of her w'ork as accompanist, received medals at the recognition assembly in Alav. The department ended the year with its annual picinc.

With this in mitui Mrs. Alice Flem- ing's art students began their work of the year, and a big year it was! There were projects and prizes, recognitions and honors everywhere. Early last fall Phil Kendall was in- formed that his linoleum block print had received an honorable mention rating in a national art contest, sponsored by Scholastic magazine. A few months later Norman High’s art classes broke into print when an article concerning last year's hospital murals appeared in the January, 1950 issue of School Arts magazine. Mrs. Fleming’s classes co-operated in school activities bv painting posters for both junior and senior plays. They also painted the back drop for the operetta, Rio Rico. given by the music department. In the spring the art classes entered their best works in the AAUW contest. Scholastic state competition and the Edmond festival. Students whose work was chosen for judging in the Edmond festival accompanied their entries to hear the judges' criticisms. In addition to our outward accomplishments, we also learned to understand those basic principles of art- color, perspective, coni| osition and design.

Rolette Miss Bernice Rayburn Sponsors The Cingersnaps was organized in 1922 to promote interest and pep n Nor- man High School sports. From the original eighteen members the club has grown to include more than eight times that numi er. The officers elected were: Margaret Ann Rankin, president; Pat Lindsay, vice-president; Diane Butler, secretary; Kelly Grisso. treasurer; and Rosemary Rowlev, reporter. The two new sponsors were Miss Bernice Rayburn and Mrs. Inez Rolette. The cheerleaders—Gail Hughes, I-'laine Fulton, Jcancnc Hayes, Carol Simpkins, and Gloria Anderson—elected at the end of the last school year, spent much time during the summer practicing. Gloria moved to another town after school started, and another cheerleader was not elected. At each football game, in addition to yelling, the Gingersnaps performed some appropriate stunt on the playing field between halves. At the Home- coming game a large crown was formed to honor the football queen, Pat Lindsay. The orange sweaters blended into a re- markable resemblance of a crown with the white uniforms of the cheerleaders looking like jewels at the points. The Gingersnaps, as a group, attended football games at Capitol Hill, Shawnee, and Northeast High School, Oklahoma City, and basketball games at Shawnee and Classen. In order to raise sufficient funds for the annual Lettermen’s Banquet, the club sold mums at the OU football games and sponsored “sock hops” in the school auditorium. The banquet honoring the participants in the various sports was held in April; dancing followed the entertainment and ban- quet. At this banquet-the climax of a successful year—the president of the Gingersnaps for next vear was announced.

This year the boys went well beyond the expectations of their en- thusiastic young leader, Mr. Herb Mackey. Beginning the year’s activities at the state fair, the Norman FFA captured three firsts in crops, another “first in livestock, and several other money winners in dairy, poultry, and swine divisions. As a team, the FFA displayed useful ingenuit)' in winning third place with their collective exhibit. The theme for this ex- hibit was dairying, and the display showed a miniature dairy farm with suggested improve- ments for better dairying. In the fall, the FFA boys volunteered their time and labor to plant the proposed new high- school site with oats and corn. They also grew 20,000 tomato plants in their greenhouse. On a similar project last year, they cleared $700. Mr. Mackey and the young farmers arc planning to buy a new pickup with the money the)' earn from these various projects. At the Southwest Livestock Imposition held in F’ort Worth last winter, Joe and Ralph Longs’ shorthorn steer placed fourth in compe- tition against livestock from all over the United States. The brothers worked hard with the steer, and should be mighty proud of their achievement. A great deal of time and effort was spent in keeping the FFA building and grounds in order. Almost every day boys were seen pruning trees, painting, scrubbing, or digging around the 1361 Left: .Mr. Herb .Mackey, headman at the FFA build- ing. Left: Several boys at work in the greenhouse.

Jlomema FHA activities started off with a bang this year. During the first week of school the officers attended a meeting at Dibble, Oklahoma. A few weeks later they attended a Leadership Conference at Oklahoma College for Women, Chickasha. There were numerous panics this year. The FFA bovs entertained the girls several times and in return the girls gave parties for them. The presiding officers of this active club were Paula Milton, president; Betty Brown, vice-president; Eloisc Hansmeyer, secretary; and Wanda Harshburger, treas- urer. Other girls capably filled the remaining offices. In April the big event was the annual basket din- ner. Honors were awarded to the outstanding FHA and FFA members. The highlight of this dinner was the crowning of the FFA queen, Oneta Gay. When school is out, the girls will spend a weekend at Cedarvale in the Arbucklcs.

But we, the Trail staff of 1950, hope this book is not just another yearbook to the students—and especially to the seniors of Norman High. It is the mid-century edition of the Trail. In the past fiftv years the Trail has made tremen- dous progress. The first Trail made its appearance in 1905. At that time the senior class consisted of twenty- five members. The first Trail had a large amount of writing and very few pictures, because of the diffi- culties encountered in early photography. Since the first Trail the number of pages contained in the book has tripled; it has progressed from an exclusively senior book to a representative record of lM th junior and senior high. With the exception of a few years during the depression, the Trail has been published continuously since 1905. As the years have advanced, not only the contents of the book have increased, but also the sales. The 1950 Trail broke all previous records as yearbook sales boomed to something over six hundred copies. Throughout the years, also, the Trail has won recognition in journalistic contests. The 1949 Trail received an All-American rating in the National Scholastic Press Association judging, and high rating in the Oklahoma Intcrscholastic Press Association competition. The production of this year’s annual began months ago with the selection of the new staff. This staff was composed of fourteen new members and seven Above: first row, left to right: Jimcll Badry, Elaine Cartwright, Kelly Grisso, Patsv Hallock, Richard Harkins, .Margaret Ann Rankin.

As early as September the question of yearbook funds raised its persistent head. In order to supply the ever-needed money, the 'Fraii. staff handled the concessions at both the football and basketball games, installed milk machines in junior and senior high, sold ads, and staged the yearly Traii. queen contest. At the same time important decisions were being made and feverish activity was taking place from the literary and photographic angles in the production of the Trail, as the staff met deadline after deadline in the completion of the final book. So once again we, the Trail staff, present to you, the student body, the product of our efforts for the past several months—a product which, we hope, re- flects every phase of school life in Norman High ami which records those events, both large and small, of which that school life is composed—the 1950 Trail.

As the sun dawned on the morning of October 6. a mild form of pandemonium raged at Norman High as last minute preparations for Homecoming were made at a break-neck speed. Our 1950 Football Queen, Pat Lindsay, and her at- tendants were presented to the students anti alumni at a special assembly. Immediately after the assembly, the colorful procession of floats, Gingersnaps and band started. A perfect Homecoming day was brought to a thrilling close with the exciting Tiger victory of 14-0 over Holdcnvillc. At the half, in the center of a huge crown formed by the Gingersnaps, Pat Lindsay received her crown from Robert Slagle, captain, while the band spelled out P - A - T in the background. Thus a memorable Homecoming was brought to a close.

Bob Woodrow opens a hole for Norris Smith in the • Incepti The Norman Highschool Tigers, under the direction of coaches Harley “Doc” LaFevers and Harley Day, had a highly successful season this year, winning six games and losing four. Beginning the season with only five lettermen, the un- derestimated Bcngals came from a pre-season rating of sixth place to fourth place in the conference. Though we were downed by both the District 2 A and District 3 A champs, the team scored more points on Capitol Hill, number one team in the state, than any other team. Sports writers had pre- dicted that the Tigers would win none of their games this season. Winning honors were Birch Rose, who made both the All-State and All-Dis- trict teams, and Bob Wood- row and Vincent Miller, who also earned berths on the All-District 3A team. Captain of the team was Robert Slagle, center, and co- captain was quarterback Karl Keller. Jerry Bullard, extra-point specialist, tallied ten points for the Cats via the conversion route. Also deserving recognition was the B team. These boys were battered and used as “cannon fod- der” all season to no apparent avail. The ex- perience this team gained will be valuable to the Tigers during the next two seasons. Norman, a young team, had thirty lettermen this year. Of these thirty, thirteen will return for the next season. Several of those graduating will go on to play college ball, as many have already received bids to play under scholar- ship. Injuries this year were few with nobody laid out for the entire season. The football team and coaches were honored by the Nor- man Quarterbacks Club at a banquet where “Doc” was given a bronze football shoe. A gold football was presented to Harley Day. The team used a split-T formation styled after that of the Oklahoma Univer- sity team. Changing their defense every game, the shiftv Tigers attributed their successes to the high team spirit, coopera- tion, and excellent coaching staff. Only in the game with McAlcstcr did the team encounter difficulty with the weather. As the Tigers were wearing black wool uniforms, the blistering heat held down the margin of victory in the “battle of Hardic Field.” All other home games were played at Owen Stadium, which is the finest field in the Southwest.

Third rove: Arlo “Skivey” Davis, athletic director and baseball coach, Ralph Reynolds, Bill Kennedy, Karl Keller, Jack Smith, Robert Slagle, George Evans, Melvin Dare, manager. Thirty five boys turned out ot play baseball, Amer- ica's most popular sport. Arlo “Skivey” Davis, coach of the baseball team, had nine lettermen before season opened and a schedule of twelve Mid-State games. 1950 marked the third consecutive NHS baseball team to make an appearance following a wartime lay-off. From a group of inexperienced “greenhorns” Coach Davis built an organized and skilled team. Pitchers were four deep and every position was filled with a capable bat-swinger, for three of last year’s inficldcrs and two of the outfielders were back. Re- turning pitchers were J. Edwin Walton, Ed Freeman, and Gene Mammon; inficldcrs were George Evans. Marian Mackenzie, and Karl Keller; outfielders were Robert Slagle, Norris Smith, and Bobby Corbin. Ralph Reynolds was manager for the Tigers. Norman has always had a good baseball team, and the 1950 team lived up to all expectations. They played in both the Oklahoma University state tournament and the re- gional contest. A double round-robin was played in the Mid-State; that is, our nine played each confer- ence team twice. The Tigers also played at least a half-dozen non-conference games. This year only one racketeer (pun) reported for TRACK TEAM, first row, left to right: Don Drake, Hoyl Lockett, J. T.

This player, incident- ally a girl, claimed the distinction or being the first girl to have earned an athletic letter in NHS. She was Alary Ellen Casev. This year Mary Ellen entered four tournaments: the Stillwater meet, the Oklahoma University state tournament, the Oklahoma College for women tournament, and the Edmond meet. This season marked the third year of competitive playing for Mary Ellen. Efforts were made to secure a tennis coach this spring, but failed. If future efforts prove successful, Norman High may again someday produce a fully-manned tennis team and take its rightful share of honors and trophies in this grand sport. Track is the oldest of all sports. This year the Norman High track team, under the leadership of Harley “Doc” LaFevers, again upheld the standard in this ancient sport. The Tigers had only two re- turning lettermen from last season, Rutherford Brett and John Crane. This years team was young, as only six of the dozen track men were seniors. There were dual meets nearly every week which trained the inex- perienced for the big contests. As in all other sports, a few track men always continue on the cinders in college. Although track is not a highly encouraged sport, the harriers had a high team spirit. The team went to the 'Tulsa and Bison relays, the Ardmore meet, and the Duncan meet. Another highly specialized sport which is not greatly encouraged in Norman 1 ligh athletics is swim- ming. This year’s team consisted of Dave dander, diver and breast strokcr, John Keith, frccstylcr. and Dennis I adbcttcr, who swam the backstroke. Both Glander and I.eadbetter were lettermen pre-season. 'This year the tankers had a great deal of success. In the Ponca City meet (Bander won first place in diving and Keith, third in freestyle. A combination of the two won first in relay. Although they had no official coach, these splashers received helpful instructions from Joe Glander, Oklahoma University swimming coach. Dave dander, the only senior on the team, placed second in diving at the Junior Olym- pics in Houston, Texas. Competition in this contest was nation-wide. The team swam in the state contest, Ponca City meet, and the State AAU contest. A new swimming group has come into NHS spons! The Ducklings (waterlogs) arc in their third semester of work. Instructor Carol Hass prepared the girls for both a water festival and the state swimming meet for girls. 'This spring for the first time the Ducklings were recognized officially as an NHS sport, and girls placing in the state meet were lettered.

The NHS basketball team of 1950 traveled the road of hard breaks and rough luck. Besides losing several games in one or two point “heartbreakers. the Tigers lost their coach, Arlo “Skivey Davis in mid-season because of illness. Harley LaFevers led the team through the remainder of the season. Despite the season win-losc record of 6-12, the Norman team boasted very creditable free throw and field goal percentages. The last appearance of the ’50 team was at the regional tournaments in Shawnee in early March, in which the Norman quintet was downed in the second round after gaining a first round victory over Seminole. 150] k % % N V SEPTEMBER OCTOBER 1. “The beginning, or the end?” ask students enrolling for school. 2.

Copland History English Mrs. Velma E. Felkncr Mathematics .Mrs. Maty Ellen Rose Mathematics Under the guidance of “Pop” Southward and a staff of eleven teachers, the students of junior high began school in September with an enrollment of over five hundred, the largest in its history. As the future classes of ’53 and '54 advanced through the year, many mem- orable events enriched and widened their horizons. Following the timeless practice of junior high students before them, the members of the eighth and ninth grades laid the foundation for their high school years in every field. In fine arts, junior high students contributed both numbers and talent. Forty percent of the “A” band consisted of eighth and ninth graders. Five ensembles drawn from that forty percent went to band contests. This year for the first time, two outstanding junior high students were selected from the vocal music department. Students chosen were Nancy Pace and Gordon Masters. These selections were made on the basis of interest in vocal music itself, time spent on it, and willing- ness to do all those “extra” things that go into the building of a success- ful organization. Both the football and basketball teams upheld the commendable records established bv former junior high teams, as they chalked up successful seasons once again. The football team, coached by W. C. Strong, played a stiff nine game schedule. Their season record was Below: Mrs. Copland, Jerry Reis ., and Janet Meyer unwrap the latest edition of Coronet.

A principal highlight of football season was the crowning of the junior high football queen, Jo Ann Harris, by team captain Allen Morain, at halftime ceremonies during the Norman- Mid west City game. Basketball season was brought to a successful climax as the junior high basketball team, coached by Harley Day, brought home the championship trophy’ from the Cleveland County basketball tourna- ment held at Noble. Also very much in the foreground this year was the junior high pep club—the Juniorsnaps. This club was made up of girls who were interested in backing their teams in every possible way. Juniorsnap officers were Jequita Johnson, president; Patty McCarty, vice-presi- dent; Jcrelvn Claxton, secretary-treasurer, and Carol Ann Davis and I'.dna Hobbs, sergeants-at-arms. Sponsor for the group was Mrs. Velma Felkner. The halfway mark of the twentieth century has been reached; giant strides have been taken along the highway’ of accomplishment. Yet. there is still much to be done. And when the classes of 1953 and 1954 step forth into the world, they will be better prepared than any class before them to do that yvhich is still unaccomplished—to do their share of the world's tasks. .Mr. W.

At a leadership conference, held in Chickasha in November, the Norman officers were trained for their respective positions. Under the leadership of these officers, the organization sponsored such projects as bake sales, and the serving of refreshments to the PTA each month. The club participated in the state rally in Oklahoma City at which five thousand FHA girls convene annually. At Christmas the club party was held in the home of the president. Num- erous parties, some in cooperation with the FFA boys, were given throughout the year. In the spring, an achievement program, including a style show and an exhibit of articles constructed during the year, was held in the homemaking cottage for parents and interested persons. Posters depicting class instruction on food, family living, child care, home nursing, and clothing construction were on display also. Meetings were held all year with each member participating in at least one program. Below, left to right: Anita Potts, Janncll But- ler, Reba Pope, and Sue Hames, take time out to make some fudge.

During the first few weeks, the club, (masting a membership of nearly one hundred, elected officers, paid dues and reviewed the aims of the club. These aims arc increasing their knowledge of science, giving sendee to the community, understanding the importance of science, and helping to carry out the programs of science in America. Any bov or girl interested in science is eligible for membership. The club is governed by its constitution and by-laws, which arc amended each year as necessary. The club is self-supporting, and all money raised is used for its needs. This was a very eventful year for the Science Club. Besides the regular business meetings, the club had a Christmas party and went on several excur- sions. They made trips to Oklahoma City to points of scientific interest and visited various science departments at the University of Oklahoma. The club worked on various projects such as radio, safe water supply, metal work, photography, the study of birds, the collection of leaves, electronics, and the study and analysis of seeds and plant growth. .Mrs. D.

With the realization of that dream last September we took upon ourselves the responsibility of making a name for this year’s sophomores of NHS. Putting first things first, we elected officers and chose sponsors early in the fall. Success- ful candidates for office were Gene Marrs, president; J. E. Hatfield, vice-president; Bobby Corbin, secretary-treasurer. Sponsore selected were Mrs. V. E. Brown, Miss Lucilc Searcy, and Mr. Gene Aldrich. Sophomores sent previous scholastic records “flying out the window” this year when they put seven class members on the rolls of the National Honor Society. They were Ellen Houston. Mary Lyle Childs, Mary Gayle LaFon, Shirley Hughes, Margaret Wilson, Phil Kendall, and jane Quaid. Sophomore representatives in the field of sports were Fred Haxcl and Ronnie Rogers, lettermcn in football; Bobby Corbin, Gene Hammon, Jerry McConnell and Phil Kendall, lettermcn in baseball. The band and Gingcrenaps had their full quota of aspiring sophomores sporting the traditional “Tiger” colors of orange and black. Other sophomores made their contributions to all phases of music. Many sophomore girls were members of Ducklings, girls’ swimming club. The sophomores of this year boasted not one but two members of Norman High's royal family. Queens were Ann Grisso, Band queen, and Carol Gene Blackwood, Trail queen. Our one-time dreams have now become a reality, and we arc eagerly looking forward to our junior year. Left to right: Mr. Gene Aldrich, Mrs. V. E. Brown, and Miss Lucilc Searcy, sophomore sponsors, put their heads together in favor of this class. [68] omoreA . . p0v.

The majority of our activities for the year were centered around raising money for the Junior- Senior From. One way in which this was done was through the production of the junior play. Nothing but the Truth. All proceeds from ticket sales went to the class treasury. Mrs. Billie Holcomb sponsored Tiger Tales, the school newspaper which is annually a project of the junior class. Tiger Tales was published every other Friday by an all junior staff headed by Mike Pybas, editor, and Mary Alice Wallace, assistant editor. The junior class participated in all sports, major and minor. Juniors lettered in football, basketball, base- ball, track, and swimming. Having successfully completed our first two years in NHS we arc looking forward with anticipation to the fulfillment of our dreams of graduation next year as the class of '51.

Usurer Seniors uWe sophomores are only at the beginning of our NHS trail. The road before us is straight and clear, rough in places, perhaps, but full of many memorable friends and good times, leading in the end to our graduation as the Class of 1950. — 1948 Trail—Mary Ellen Casey And our high school years certainly were filled with manv memorable friends and good times. As we look back, the years seem full of happy experiences; the time, all too short. This being our final year, we spent every spare moment compiling a record of honor and glory for ourselves. Chosen as this year's Junior Rotarians were Jeroald Andrews, Jimell Badry, Richard Harkins, Bill Kennedy, and Hoyl Lockett. Senior winners of the Ameri- can Legion award were Jeroald Andrews and Patsy Steelv. Margaret Smith was selected by student and faculty vote as winner of the DAR Award. Seniors also held top offices and positions in every school activity. We contributed the best of our “gray mat- ter” to the National Honor Society, w hose roll included fifteen seniors. Three senior members of the royal family were Oncta Gay, FFA Queen; Pat Lindsay, Football Queen; and Joan Wilson, Music Queen. Pacing all school sports were senior stars. Birch Rose, who won a berth on the All-State football team, received special athletic recog- nition. And then there were the little things that seem so big to seniors—ordering the senior rings that thrilled us so when they came, being entertained bv the junior class at the Junior- Senior Prom in May, signing our names “the way you want them on your diplomas,” hay- ing senior Trail pictures made, ordering an- nouncements, and a hundred other things. These three years have led to “our gradu- ation as the Class of 1950.” For some, gradua- tion will spell the end of formal education; some of us will continue our school work. But for all. regardless of our future plans, it marks the end of one phase of our lives and the beginning of a much larger phase—one in which we will all have the opportunity to make our dreams of today realities of tomor- row.
