HOMER BROOKS Red, white, and blue were the colors that symbolized a small but patriotic group of Seventh Graders in Parsons High School in 1943-44. Sometimes dubbed ‘green but growing', they lived up to the growing part, and took their places in the annals of Parsons High School. They handed in as their candidates for the Hall of Fame their officers, their Honor Roll members, their athletes, their club members, and the unnamed heroes who worked so faithfully in every undertaking of the class. Freshmen have contributed greatly to an excellent Junior High basketball team. Members were: Jack Gable, Pete Ketterman, Milton Arnold, Jack Gilmore, Bob Bar- ton, Jack Rhodes, Ford Barr, and Sonny Ours. The team followed a successful season with seven wins against three losses. The tournament for Junior High was held at Daily, March 4 and 5. Jack Gilmore and Jack Gable played as substitutes for the reg- ular high team.

At the first class election, the following mem- bers became class officers. James Auvil, President; David Roberts, Vice President; Patti Shields, Sec- retary and Treasurer; Nick Barb, Cheerleader; Bar- bee Jarvis, Reporter; and Miss Hull and Mrs. Har- ris, Sponsors. Bill Digman and Pete Cross were the fresh- man members on the football team this year and Harold Lanham, manager. Having hurdled the first barriers the class of '46 started on the next year as sophomores. James Auvil again took the reins as president, Bill Digman became vice president, Jake Dudley, cheerleader, Eula Williams, secretary and treasurer, Nick Barb, reporter, and Miss Hull and Mrs. Har- ris, sponsors. This year Tom Rhoades and Hayward Wil- liams played football and Bob Repair, Reggie Gil- more, Curtis Keister, Bill Digman and Nick Barb played basketball. In our Junior year the officers were as follows: Jim Auvil, president; Bill Digman, vice president; Nick Barb, secretary and treasurer; Junior Cross, reporter; “Jake Dudley, cheerleader; Miss Stem- pie and Mrs. Harris, sponsors. The boys who won letters in football or bas- ketball were Bill Digman, Ray Cross, Nick Barb, Everett Knotts, Pete Cross, Carlton Hovatter, Don Shahan, and Jim Michael. In the last and final years as Seniors, the class of '46 got off to a running start. The following officers were elected: Jim Auvil, president; Bud Oliver, vice president; Annetta Higgs, treasurer; Caroline Baker, secretary; Jake Dudley, cheerleader; and Mrs. Harris and Mr. Henry, sponsors. From the class that started in '42 the following boys entered the service: Harold Lanham, Everett Knotts, Tom Rhoades, Hayward Williams, Leo Kel- ly, Lester Kalar, Carlton Hovatter, Willard Cross, Bruce Carr, Worth Armentrout, Bill Digman, Reg- gie Gilmore, Edward Stemple, Junior Strum, Harold Shreevc, Allan and Alton Shahan, and Ralph and Charles Myres, and Charles Mullnex. This year there were six senior boys on the football team. They arc: Don Shahan, Nick Barb, Jim Auvil, Jim Michaels, Don McIntyre and Don Oliver. These boys also received letters for service on the High School team. The Seniors were determined to win the bas- ketball tournament between classes, went to work; and they made it. Nick Barb, Jim Michaels, Paul Nestor, Jim Poling, Daniel Nestor, Jim Auvil, Don Oliver, Don McIntyre, Bud Dennison, and Fred Parsons, were on the senior boys’ team. Their first game was with the Sophomores. Score 24-27. Going to the finals they played the Freshman class win- ning by a score of 32-21. The senior girls also took the girls class tournament. Those on the team were: Carolyn Lambert, Jake Dudley, Annette Higgs, Jean White, Patti Shields, Angeline Phillips, Eloise Boothe, Jane Lotspiech, Betty Bright, Polly Eckard. Their first game was played with the Sophomore girls. We took the game with a score of 10-3. The final game resulted in the Senior girls taking the tournament from the Freshman girls by 19-9. Each member of the boys and girls team will be awarded a trophy. The Senior Class close their four years of high school with a full and glorious year. May they, in coming years profit from the experiences they have received in Parsons High School. 24 S P O R T S 25 1945 FOOTBALL RECORD SCHEDULE: PARSONS......... 0 PARSONS......... 0 PARSONS......... 0 PARSONS.........44 PARSONS.........21 PARSONS.........38 PARSONS......... 7 PARSONS......... 6 PARSONS......... 0 ELKINS ......... 0 KEYSER .........27 MOOREFIELD .....33 BELINGTON ...... 0 PETERSBURG ..... 0 FORT ASHBY ..... 0 THOMAS .........26 TERRA ALTA .....13 RIDGELY ........ 6 LINEUP: L.
