SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Early in the fall of 1936, there was a slight mist of rain falling, casting a rather dreary atmosphere over the scene. A group of scared, bewildered looking Freshmen were hud- dled in the doorway of old N. H. S. They were awaiting the arrival of the school bus to see what type of people they were going to be associated with in their four year campaign for an education. With a scream of brakes the big yellow bus stopped and the new arrivals, quite as scared, quite as bewildered looking as the ones awaiting them were ushered into the roomy auditorium for instructions concerning their classes. In brief, let it be said that both parties decided that they would get along well together, and it seems they did. The whole group was immeditely taken in hand by Mr. Frank Dunn, who, with his genial yet authorative voice, soon made friends with the entire class. Throughout the year he led them in many enjoyable activities among which was the Freshman Party. The second school term opened for us, just a little more quietly, as we strutted around the halls and campus with the casual, unaffected air, as befitted an upper classman, a Soph- omore. Throughout this year we were under the guidance of Mr. J. H. Suthard, who helped us a lot with his lengthy talks on cooperation and a better attitude toward the school program. Among other activities devised and carried out by this class was a sneak day at the Resettlement Park at Dawson Springs, enjoyed in the company of the Junior High School. As Juniors we entered the sacred portals of old N. H. S. with a quiet, respectful attitude and settled down to a year of earnest work. Mrs. Sue Ross was appointed our sponsor and was joyously received by us. She worked faithfully with us in all our activities. Our work consisted of not only our studies, but practice on our Junior play and preparation for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Immediately after the end of the first semester we started practice on our play, “Petticoat Ranch,” which presentation well paid us for our long hours of practice. Of course the highlight of the year came with the Junior- Senior Banquet, given to the Seniors by the Juniors. To us ■ Bees are always busy minding their own business! it seemed a huge success. It seemed rather a gala affair when we were all assembled in the beautifully decorated auditorium in our best attire with our girls dressed in formal evening wear. The whole thing went off rather smoothly, and I’m sure will live in our memories forever. Today we represent the graduating class of 1940. We have reached the highest pinnacle of these four years. Faith- fully we have labored, led by our able instructors, until now we stand upon the threshold of that glorious day when we shall bid farewell to our high school days and prepare our- selves for the greater struggles and joys through life. Miss Mabel Fagan was appointed our sponsor for this year, and we were happy to have had her for a friend as well as a teacher. All we have attempted to do has been made more successful because we have had her to help us carry out our plans. We held a class meeting and elected our officers: Ray Brown was chosen president: Dorothy Welch, vice-president; Irene Williams, secretary; Dorothy O’Gwin, treasurer. We voted to publish an annual, and the staff was selected with Eilene Knox as editor-in-chief, and James Barnes, busi- ness manager. We voted also to buy our beloved school an electric clock, which is timed with a loud bell. This was given as a token of esteem in which we hold our school, faculty and students, past and present. A Senior luncheon was given and proved to be a great success with a large sum added to the treasury. We then began our second semester with our Senior play, “The Wild Flower of the Hills,” which proved to be a suc- cess both for finances and entertainment. Then came the Junior-Senior banquet with all the Juniors suffering in their formals; but to us Seniors it was nothing new, for we had suffered the same thing the year before. Last of all, Commencement, which brought tears to some and joy to others. But no matter how each one felt, we all Don’t Be A Knocker!” ' But the past can’t be knew we were starting a new life, forgotten. A class is judged by what it does for the benefit of the school. In our contribution to athletics, extra-curricular activ- ities, and school traditions, we feel that N. H. S. has been benefitted by our having been here. Bingham Lovan, Virginia Sadler. IN APPRECIATION The Senior Class and Sponsor wish to take this oppor- tunity to express our thanks to Mr. Oscar Lovan as director of the chorus, and to Mrs. Oscar Lovan as pianist during commencement. With their loyal support, our commence- ment music was a success. “OUR PAL CUTTER” The Seniors’ athletic star, Vernon C. Oglesby, is loved and respected by the entire class. They proved this by their fine support at all athletic events in which he took part. They love him for his modest, clean-cut attitude toward life, and for his never-changing character. So to this flashy little forward, on the great team that “Rome was not built in a day—neither was this annual!” CLASS POEM If the talents of writers and poets, Since the world has been marching by, Could be given to me—I could not do justice To this Class of Nortonville Hi. IVe boast of its smartness and number, For thirty-four seniors are we, And that dignified look that Seniors have, On our faces you can see. IVe’ve had our fun and our sorrow, IVe’ve made our F’s and our A’s, But no matter what has happened to us, IVe can’t forget our High School days. IVe’ve joked and cried—that’s very true, The others in school we’ve teased; IVe’ve laughed and called the Freshmen green, And our teachers we’ve often displeased. IVe’ve never lost the spirit of school, Though we’ve each met our Waterloo; But unlike Napoleon, we tried again, While our teachers helped us through. As we’ve gone through these four years, We lost a few of our class; But there is one thing don’t forget, Their memory will forever last. Our teachers like the children, We’ve loved them, seen them go; But each year brought us others, And their kindness we soon know. But now this year we leave you, And go to seek our fame; So remember we were friends here, And in this world you’ll find us the same! —Virginia Sadler. A doctor’s report is news of the weak! FSZ£ -T f T r “OUR SPONSOR T To the Senior Class of 39-40 came, as spon- sor, Miss Mabel Fagan. She, after becoming acquainted with the class, became known as a pleasing, generous little lady. She helped the Seniors in all their activities, usually taking all responsibility on herself. Among the chief proj- So to that dynamic, little personality, we wish you all the success attainable in your profession. May you lead other classes, other pupils, as you have led us, is our wish. TO MISS E1LENE KNOX We, the Seniors, would like Eilene to know that all her hard work on the annual, both as Editor-in-Chief and as the less colorful job of typist has not gone unnoticed or without grati- tude on our part. We appreciate all you have done, and would like to express ourselves in this r A r. ects she sponsored was this annual, the first ot its kind to appear in Nortonville High School. —Bingham. little address.

We all loved J. H Who was always cheerful and gay; And ever ready to help a friend, In his struggle of the day. We miss you J.

We each thought we could make the grades and receive a diploma at the end of our four years of school. We were given Mr. Dunn for a sponsor. The officers were: President: James Barnes Vice President: C. D. Whitfield Secretary-Treasurer: Juanita Hughlett The next year we were more sincere about our studies. We were given Miss Mabel Fagan for a sponsor that year. Our officers were: President: James Barnes Vice President: C. D. Whitfield Secretary-Treasurer: Charles Hamby That year we won high honors in nearly everything we tried to accomplish. We bought a radio, and window shades, and painted our room. In athletics our class was well repre- sented by Garrett Beshear, J. C. Alexander, Cieatis Fades, John Martin, James Barnes, and J. H. Prowse. When we reached our Junior year, we had lost quite a few. There are only twenty-eight in the class this year. Miss Fowler was chosen as the sponsor. Our officers were: President: Gaynell McIntosh Vice President: Cieatis Eades Secretary-Treasurer: C. D. Whitfield This year we gave a dinner, and had success again. We have learned to work together in all we try to do. The presentation of “Sun Bonnet Jane of Sycamore Lane” proved we have dramatic talent as well. It was a pleasure indeed to present and we hope our audience was well enter- tained. That brings us to the gala occasion of the year—Junior and Senior Banquet. We have had a great time in planning it, and trust that this event rightfully celebrates the depart- ure from our midst of that august body whom we have secretly admired since Junior High. C. D. Whitfield Helen Morris Life is a dangerous business; no one gels out alive! INDUSTRIAL ARTS In 19J6 the Industrial Arts Department was established in the Nortonville High School, which was the first school in the county to obtain such a department. Room was obtained for this department by excavating under the stage by students interested in this department. When this work was completed, tools to work with were obtained by fees charged students enrolled in that depart- ment. A sufficient number of tools were obtained in this manner to enable them to turn out a number of finished products, which consisted mostly of book cases what-not shelves, book ends, and paper and letter holders. This work was under the supervision of Aubrey Inglis. The following year 1938-39 the work was under the super- vision of two advanced students, and some new tools were added and practically the same kind of work was carried on, with the exception of making a new electric score board. In 1939-40, Paul McGregor became the instructor in this work and many new tools were bought which consisted of twelve planes costing forty dollars, saws costing two dollars and fifty cents, a large lathe costing forty dollars. Many new projects have been completed, such as cedar chests, porch swings, book cases, and study tables. INDUSTRIAL ARTS CLUB The main purposes of the Industrial Arts Club are: To bring its members in closer touch with each other; to keep its workmanship on a higher plane; to foster the spirit of Nortonville High School, and to aid in student activities. It has served all these purposes well. Our officers are: President—James Barnes. Vice President—Marvin Teague. Secretary-Treasurer—Herman Cozart. Sergeant-at-Arms—Hubert Bowers, Jr. Program Committee—C. D. Whitfield, James Furgerson, Noble Teague. .4 dentist is the only man who can make a woman open and close her mouth!

We were anxious to find out who would be our sponsor and was glad when Mr. Lovan was given the Fresh- men group. For the year we elected the following officers: President: Jaunita Dillingham Vice President: Gladys Teague Secretary: Robert Fox Treasurer: Carma Nell Miller We had a very successful year even though at times it was hard being a green Freshman. In the early spring we were given a banquet by the eighth grade. Later we went to Evansville, Indiana, to the zoo. There we had a wonderful time! On September 3, 1939, we returned to school and found a few familiar faces missing and a few new ones. The en- rollment of the class was fifty-six. Miss Ruth Gailor was chosen to be our sponsor. Officers were as follows: President: Rex Alexander Vice President: Bobbie Teague Secretary-Treasurer: Willie Jean Oldham Class Reporter: Edith Morris At the end of the first semester Mr. Atkinson was made sponsor of our class. We were very glad to welcome Mr. Atkinson to our group. We are looking forward to a happy and successful year as Sophomores and better years as Juniors and Seniors.

He made his appearance along with the first teachers and first students of N. H. S. He has become the friend of all students who have enrolled since then and seems to have become a part of the school, even as classrooms and teachers are a part of it. He is aided by his wife who is also known and loved by all who come in contact with her. When the W. P. A. began experimenting with various projects there came as a Girl’s Matron to N. H. S., Mrs. H. B. Lovan, who is loved by all and works faithfully in help- ing the girls in every way possible.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY An enlarged freshman class entered the Nortonville Hall of Knowledge in September of this school year, 1939-40. To our twenty-eight members of last year’s class were added thirty-two new members from St. Charles, Ilsley, and other outlying points. At our first class meeting the following officers were elected: President: Mel Oglesby Vice President: Robert Phillips Secretary-Treasurer: Henry Teague, Jr. At this time- plans were discussed for the activities of the coming year. The activities of last year were reviewed at this time. The most important of these was the banquet given by us to the ninth grade. We enjoyed a picnic and1 outing at the reservation near Dawson Springs. The freshman class is very active in the clubs of our school. We have members in the following clubs: 4-H Club, Glee Club, Physical Culture Club, Commercial Club, and Band. Three of our boys are on the Basketball squad this year. A ninth grade girl’s trio has been organized which we hope will continue to improve with the years. Joan Jones Juanita Wilkey JUNIOR HIGH HISTORY In the fall of 1936, the seventh and eighth grades were moved from the Grade Building to the High School and united with the ninth grade to form the Junior High. We of the present Junior High Class feel that this move gave us many advantages we could not have otherwise enjoyed. We have been quick in taking advantage of these opportuni- ties. We pledge ourselves to the upbuilding of our class, our school, and to full cooperation with all school policies. We are not envious of the upper classmen; but we do look forward to the time when we may take your places and our journey through Junior High will have been a pleasant re- membrance. Our class has grown by leaps and bounds until we now have a membership of forty-seven.

Some years ago a number of the people of the Nortonville community saw a vision of something which would be for the betterment of the community, and this vision took concrete form in the organization of a Parent-Teacher Association. Mr. O. N. Beshear was local trustee at that time and lent invaluable aid in promoting this organization which was perfected in November, 1930. Mrs. C. R. Addison was elected the first president and Mrs. John Bowling the first secretary. Since Mrs. Addison’s term of office, the following per- sons have served as chief executive: Mrs. C. D. Franklin, Mrs. A. C. Whitfield, M rs. R. I. Prowse, Mrs. J. K. Jones, Mrs. G. R. Dukes, Mrs. J. N. Oates, and Mrs. H. S. Bowers. All these have served earnestly and efficiently, have given much time, energy, and effort to the cause. During this time more than one thousand dollars have been received into the treasury by means of Hallowe’en carnivals, tournaments, and entertainments of various kinds. Some of the material things accomplished are these: The purchase of the stage curtains now in the high school auditorium, a baby grand piano for the high school, curtains for the stage at the grade school, one hundred dol- lars to Mr. J. R. Harrison in payment of loan, and many smaller items, such as a donation to the flood relief fund, purchasing glasses for a needy boy and girl, and donations of clothing for other children in need. Besides these things, we feel that the ideals of our homes, churches, schools, and community have been raised to a higher level because of this organization. P. T. A.

The band is led by an able instructor, Robert Cates. He has been a member of the N. H. S. faculty for five consecu- tive years. He has always been able and willing to take part in any school activity. Under his leadership the band has be- come a department for the school to be proud of. Many of the school activities have had the help of the band during the year, and we hope we can be of more service next year. The picture of the band does not include all the band members. The members of the band are: Helon Addison, Margaret Baker, Ruth Baker, Hubert Junior Bowers, Herschel Buchan- nan, Loyd Harold Cooke, Wanda Faye Davis, Margaret Dillingham, Dorothy Downey, Nakoma Dillingham, Bobbie Dockins, Odosca East, Juanita Furgerson, James Furgerson, Larkin Gamble, Lucille Harris, Hilda Harris, Howard How- ell, Joan Jones, Juanita Jones, Ruth Lantrip, Robert Leisure, Willie Jean Oldham, Faye Pollard, Dorthy Jean Prowse, Herschel Riordan, Betty Joe Scott, Lenard Sherrod, Henry Teague, Jr., Noble Teague, Juanita Wilkie, Carl Whitfield, Jack Wright, Elizabeth Whitfield, Mrs. George Cooke, Gladys Lantrip, Herman Cozart, C.

S. of 1940 are to be commended as being the first to publish a monthly school paper, since the school was organized in 1930. “Badger” was chosen as a name for our paper. The paper trains students in the development of coopera- tive attitude and helps greatly in the building of a school spirit both of which are of supreme value to the school. The paper also helps to bring about better cooperation between the home and school.

GLEE CLUB On October the first the Nortonville High School Glee Club was organized under the direction of Oscar Lovan. There were fifty members of the Glee Club during the first semester, and about thirty have come into it the last semester. Some very fine voices have joined the club. Our regular meeting days arc on Monday and Wednesday of each week. We practice songs of all types. The Glee Club has appeared in public at the revival meet- ing held at the Methodist church, at a P.-T. A. meeting, in chapel, and at Outwood Hospital, near Dawson Springs. In February we gave a program in the high school audi- torium to help buy sweaters for the basketball squad. m A word to the zeise is sufficient! COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT In 1937 commercial work was offered on a very small scale, typing being the only course offered. The classes were small due to the fact that the classroom was small, and we only had five typewriters. The class periods were forty-five minutes each; therefore, only a half credit was given. In 1938-39 we secured a full-time commercial teacher, Miss Lillian Sisk, who is a very successful teacher in this field. We bought fifteen new typewriters in 1938-39. The County Board paid for ten and the school paid for five. New typing tables were made by the Industrial Arts Department. The first year the commercial room was under the bleach- ers; but this room did not prove to be very satisfactory, so the next year the department was given two rooms up-stairs, which was a much better arrangement. The courses now being offered are two classes of typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and general business. In 1939-40 there has been some additions to this depart- ment; for instance, an A. B. Dick memeograph machine and a new memeoscope, with which the Badger is being printed. This new addition is highly appreciated by the student body. COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club is a young organization in the Nor- tonville High School, being organized in October of the school year 1939-40. The purpose of the club is to teach students more about the commercial work of the United States. Short talks are made on this subject at each meeting, which is on the third Wednesday of each month.

OUR COACH Mr. Tate, as athletic coach, has proved of great value to Nortonvdle High School. He came to Nortonville High School last year and immediately made friends with all and became a great favorite of the boys. He has developed the strongest basketball team Nortonville has ever had. He has instilled in the team and fans the value of sportsmanship and fair play. —Cutter. HISTORY OF N. H. S. BASKETBALL We are justly proud of the history of our school. Though sometime perhaps we did not produce a team of champions. I don’t believe there has ever been a boy on our team who wasn’t a true sportsman. Always they have played the game fair and kept our school colors above reproach. It is to these boys that we give tribute with this little recording of past events and glories in which they took part. If there is anyone who deserves credit here and does not receive it, the fault will lie in our' sometime doubtful records, and will not be intentional whatsoever. 1930-31 Our team moved into the new High School Gymnasium in the year of 1930 and it is there that our history has its be- ginning. The men earning letters for that year played many a hard game, and fresh from the old type of game on the clay court, they really appreciated the new gymnasium and equipment. They were: Gifford Berry O. D. Whitfield Cecil Prowse Edward Atkinson Earl Mitchell Elvin Teague Ishmael Bowman Clyde Reynolds Emmett Furgerson Herman Oglesby They were coached by George Stith and had a rather suc- cessful year. Gifford Berry acted as Captain with Cecil Prowse as alternate captain. Girls’ basketball was discon- tinued this year. 1931-32 For the season of 1931-32 the boys retained their coach, George Stith. They kept a number of the team from the previous year. The squad was composed of: Clyde Downey Cecil Prowse Gifford Berry Earl Mitchell Ishmael Bowman Milbern Lewis O. D. Whitfield Eugene Rodgers Eugene Hamby Elvin Teague Clyde Reynolds Rex Thomas Think of others—it pays! $ i I I Cecil Prowse was elected captain and Clyde Downey alter- nate captain. Arthur Teague was yell leader for this season. The County Tournament was held at the Nortonville High School Gymnasium. 1932- 33 It was in this year that our team adopted the school colors of Scarlet and White. The name “Badgers” was suggested by Eugene Rodgers, and was adopted in this year. The men who earned letters were: Cecil Prowse Eugene Rodgers Earl Mitchell Elvin Teague Ishmael Bowman Eugene Hamby Willard Cates Ozee Wright Milbern Lewis They were coached by A. L. Skaggs. 1933- 34 In this year the District and Willard Cates had the ville athlete to be picked as Member. He was also one able man to his team. They were coached by Charles Todd and those earning letters were: Milbern Lewis Willard Cates J. R. Furgerson Eugene Hamby 1934- 35 No records. 1935- 36 This season’s high-light was the Pennyrile Tournament held at Nortonville. Nebo won, defeating the Nortonville Badgers in the finals. Letter men were: West Whitfield Ralph Alexander Tournament came to Nortonville honor of being the first Norton- an All-District Tournament Team of three picked as the most valu- Ozee Wright Haydee Belcher Alvic Lantrip Chester Hawkins James Powell Willard Cates J. C. Todd Arlin Todd Alvie Lantrip C. G. Todd Isaac Prowse J. R. Furgerson R. D. Oglesby A friend is a person before whom you may think aloud! Alvie Lantrip was selected as a member of the All-District Tournament Team. He also acted as captain during the sea- son. They were coached by Emmett Goranflo. Business managers were Vernon Oglesby and Horace Sturat. The yell leaders were Corrine Prowse, Dewey Teague and Mary K. Swain. 1936-37 The Pennyrile Tournament was again held here and was won by Cobb. Nortonville took third place, being defeated in the semi-finajs. The new coach was Aubrey Inglis, and his selection for the squad was: James Powell C. G. Todd West Whitfield George Henry Morris Wallard Cates R. D. Oglesby Alvie Lantrip Henry Furgcrson Woodrow Mitchell Isaac Prowse Captain Alvie Lantrip and Wallard Cates were both select- ed as All-District team members. Wilson Stevens was busi- ness manager. Alberta Alexander, Aileen Franklin, and Ora Mae Wicks were yell leaders. 1937-38 Our team for this year consisted of the following members: Wallard Cates Woodrow Mitchell James Powell Horace Sturat C. G. Todd George Henry Morris Isaac Prowse Tommie Lamb Vernon Oglesby West Whitfield Captain Prowse was selected as All-District man and Alternate Captain Morris as All-Pennyrile team member. Coach Inglis chose as business manager Karl Barnes. The four yell leaders elected by popular vote were Jane Fralich Harvey Skaggs, Faynell Alexander, and W. T. Gomer. 1938-39 Our coach for this season, Eugene Tate, brought us a highly successful year. Out of thirty-four games played, the Badgers took twenty-four. They defeated Kuttawa High in the Pennyrile finals at Crofton gymnasium to return home as the first Pennyrile champs of Nortonville High. It was a hard fought battle all through, and we won by a very close margin. For this deed of valour, the ten-team members received from the proud townsmen a nice red jacket on which was proudly proclaimed, “Pennyrile Champs, 38-39.” Among those who attained special honor and notice was Captain Prowse who was selected, not only as All-District man, but also as All-Pennyrile. Honor thy father and mother, and good luck will follow you! - 7777777777 77.7777r77 7r777777777777777777777T727 L Vernon “Cutter” Oglesby was voted the most valuable man to his team in the Pennyrile, He also madej a guard on the All-Pennyrile team. Another tribute paid this champ of the Pennyrile was his selection as All-County Conference man. He finished the season as high point man for his team with a total of 208 points. A close second for high scoring honors was Woodrow “Hack” Mitchell who finished with a grand total of 206 points to his credit. He, too, was selected as All-County Conference man. Alternate Captain Morris and Tommie Lamb graduated at mid-term and both did well in their last game. Our second team had an unusual record, winning twenty- seven out of twenty-seven games played. Tommie Lamb and Horace “Speedy” Sturat alternated as captain. Woodrow Mitchell George Henry Morris Lewis Clark Vernon Oglesby Isaac Prowse Eugene Mitchell Horace Sturat Tommie Lamb Garret Beshear Fred Skaggs Lee Hoffman James Barnes The above athletes were cheered to victory by yells led by our cheer leaders: Juanita Dillingham, W. T. Gomer, Harvey Skaggs, and Iva Grace Blalock. Managers were Karl Barnes and Eugene Furgerson. 1939-40 The year 1939-40 has been our most successful year in the athletic field. Eugene Tate, with only one regular from last year, Cutter Oglesby, worked wonders with a nice squad of boys who gave their best for the honor of their school. That their best was enough is well illustrated by the following statistics: They went the hard route to gain a place as Runners-up in the Pennyrile Tournament, being defeated by Kuttawa in the finals at Kuttawa Gymnasium. They won the Annual Blind Tourney at Earlington, defeat- ing Mortons Gap by a 26-25 score. Out of thirty-two games played, they won twenty-six, los- ing only six games in the entire season. They tied with Hanson for first place in the County Championship. They had two representatives on the Pennyrile team. Re it ever so humble, there’s no fare like your own! They had two representatives on the District Tournament team and two representatives on the All-County team. They were favorites to win the District but lost in the semi-finals to Hanson.

SENIORS WIN CLASS TOURNAMENT The Senior “Hermits” played their broken hearts out in the finals of the tournament against the Sophomores. The game was a closely fought contest throughout, going into overtime at 25-25. Vernon “Cutter” Oglesby won for the Hermits with a long shot frond well beyond center in the overtime. Only one pass was made after the tip off in the overtime period. James Barnes took it up and passed to “Cutter” for winning score. This was the first time this class ever won a game in the class tournament. They were not given a chance to win but went ahead to win easily over the Freshmen in the opening game. The Sophomores won over the Juniors advancing to the finals with the Seniors. Our high point man in the finals was “Cutter,” scoring 17 points out of 27. He received a mysterious note just be- fore game time. I wonder if that could have helped! The faculty of N. H. S. starring Robert Cates lost to the Seniors in a four-quarter comedy the day following class finals. —Bingham Lovan. '?2IZ7JZZm£ JJZ£ZJjYJ 7nZZZZ7Zm JSIJZJXZZ 7 ;i fI fJ ZfIS . Say you sazv it in “Treasured Echoes!” CHEER LEADERS The cheer leaders for 1939-40 were elected a few days be- fore our first scheduled game. According to custom, they were chosen by the popular vote of the entire student body. The four elected were: Miss Juanita Dillingham, who was cheer leader last year. Miss Deanie Welch, whose many friends brought her through gloriously. Miss Edna Shelton, who was also awarded an abundance of votes. Bingham Lovan, who, with the pledged support of the entire Junior Class, and the loyal support of his friends in all other classes, made the grade with plenty to spare. After the election, Principal Suthard and Coach Tate generously gave from the school fund and helped buy the uniforms which consisted of sweaters and skirts for the girls and sweater and slacks for Bingham. These were in school colors and aided greatly in the efficiency of the pep squad. Later in time for the Pennyrile Tournament, one of our. athletic highlights, the-girls again received an allowance from, the school for new uniforms. This time they had corduroy outfits of colorful red and white. The pep squad was backed by as loyal a band of rooters as ever followed a great ball team through glory and defeat. A large crowd was to be seen and heard at any game, regard- less of time, team or method of transportation. If what you did yesterday still looks big to you, you haven’t done much today! Y.
