U’All, of the Academy of the Great Men of Mars, October 30, 10431. Fellow Colleagues: As you know, the explosion of the planet Earth in the year 10395, just as predicted by our learned forefathers 5000 years ago, has recently occurred. You have doubtless read of or even seen fragments of that body, which, falling through space at a terrific speed, imbedded themselves in the crust of this planet when they struck it. Gentlemen, it so happened that a certain fragment of that planet struck one of our mountains of rock and was broken up by the impact. I have in my possession a piece of this fragment, which, when I examined it closely, disclosed some very startling information. Encrusted in this fragment I found an object of different structure and appearance from the body of the meteorite. The object to which I refer was composed of metal and proved to be a sort of case, or strong-box. which I opened with much difficulty. The walls of the case were very thick and, it seems, protected from the terrific heat the contents of the box, which consisted principally of several pages of paper, some covered with diagrams, others with closely written characters. Not being able to interpret these mysterious tracings, I conveyed them to our fellow Martian. Prof. U. R. A. Bonehead, who succeeded in translating part of them only with much difficulty. Several of the sheets were lost through an accident, but the remaining ones, when translated, proved to be a description of a strange instrument only recently patented by one ot our own inventors, and an account of a trip made by its inventor who sought to test the practicability of the instrument before placing it before the public. His paper, it seems, was prepared to be read before an assembly called “The Society of American Engineers,” but the author’s work was terminated by what must have been an earthquake or an avalanche, for. from all evidence I have, the metal case which contained the papers had been imbedded in the earthly mass for many centuries, probably since the Spring of the year 1950. Records of our astronomers show that at that time a great upheaval took place on parts of the earth. His paper is as follows: THE SOCIETY OF AMERICAN ENGINEERS New York, March 21, 1950. Gentlemen: I am about to place before you an instrument called by me the ’’tickleo-meter,” which I recently perfected. This instrument is based on the principle that an electric current tuned to a certain pitch will be excited whenever it comes in the neighborhood of a person or group of persons whose blood cell vibrations are sympathetic to the pitch to which the instrument is tuned. The instrument is so made that when it is excited by the proximity of sympathetic vibrations an indicator globe lights up. The tickleometer will doubtless prove useful in locating lost friends, escaped criminals, etc. Before going further I will say that before submitting this instrument to you for inspection, I have given it a thorough trial. Six months ago my co-worker and I who are known to the public as the Gillespie-Jones Co., Scientific Investigators, made a short airplane voyage over parts of the world looking up old friends. Just for old times’ sake, we tuned the tickleemeter in to the pitch of our old classmates of ’23, at Pine Bluff High School, and made ready to leave. Here is the account of our trip and experiences: From the Palace Aero Garage, owned by James McGehee, we chartered an aero sedan and started off. We had been flying but a short time when the bulb began to glow. Accordingly, we landed near a little church roro v V irh ’ 5sucd strains of nvsir. Over the door was a sign. “The Last Methodist Church of Dumbeck.” We entered and found a wedding in progress. The preacher was recognized as Marshall Steele and the organist as Louise Riner. When the wedding party started out we saw that the bride and groom were Ola Lee Rash and W. F. “Dub” Woodard. Frances Coleman was a bridesmaid and Cecil Gentry, best man. Reba Gill was matron of honor. At first we could not understand why the guests called her “Mrs. Smith,” but this remained a mystery only until Robert Smith appeared at the cellar door to announce that the gas pressure was low and getting lower. The ushers were Robert Hudson, Richard Barnett, Louis Vick and Tom Agerton. Those who had ringside seats in the white ribbon section were Alice Borman, Benton Bayne, Martha Lee Laminack, Clyde Hankins, and his better-half, Mary Wood-Hankins. After saying goodbye to this happy ( ?) group we again started on our journey and soon were flying over the little town of Castoria. There our lamp glowed up again. After landing on the outskirts of the main mud hole of the city, we proceeded up the street and soon saw in the distance a man with a big star on his coat. Drawing nearer, we recognized him as John Diamond, “The Two-Gun Sheriff.” He had just arrested the Bairn and Scott orchestra, composed of Smith Kerr, Tliase Ferguson, John Murray, Don Maynard and Tom Atkinson, the famous drummer, for violating the law just passed by the legislature prohibiting jazz music in Arkansas. Resuming the trip in search of our classmates, we next stopped at New York. Passing by a pitcure show, we noticed a poster announcing “The Village Vamp,” starring Fay Smulian and Petrolio Gasilino, known in private life as Reno Altschul. On the same bill was the latest million-dollar comedy, featuring Tom McGehee, world famous comedian. Members of the supporting cast were Anastasia Pogue, Jane Hardy, Ed. Lee Johnson and Louise Quattlebaum. A little farther up the street we entered a theater to hear Madam Howl, the prima donna with the golden squawk. As soon as she finished her beautiful solo and closed her mouth, we recognized her features as being those of our former classmate, Lelia Monk. Gathered among the vast assembly of cultured music lovers were such i'lustrious patrons as Favre Cason and his wife, formerly Edna O’Neal. Nelli' Honner, Annie Meek, Melba Norris, Annie Paggars, Gertrude Green, Floy Knox and Fred Galbraith. We decided to leave New York, but while flying over one of the suburbs of the city our lamp flared up brightly. On landing we found ourselves near a circus. When we approached it the first sound to greet our ears was the cry of a side-show ballyho, whom we soon discovered to be no other than Charles Wall, and the ticket seller on his right, Hugh Willey. When we entered the side show the first wonder that we saw was Littleton Savin, advertised as the world’s most famous athlete. Opposite him we saw a nine-foot giant whom we soon learned was Evan Crawford, the cutest boy of the class of '23. Among other freaks of the show were Jimmie Reno, who had gone crazy trying to sell patented ice-cream cones to the Eskimo orphans, and Katherine Reynolds, the lady contortionist. We then left for Washington, and as we passed over the Senate Building our lamp began to flash again. We came dovcn and upon entering found the senate in session. Two of the most prominent senators, P. I). Pride and Keelin Anthony, were in the middle of a hot debate to decide whether to send the All-American Crap Team to the Olympic Contests. Among other members of the Senate we saw Robert Miller, Laura P. Howard. Rowell Caruthers, Fred Dietrich, Opal Clark, Mary Darby, and Taylor Roberts. After a day’s sojourn in the Capital we departed for Europe. Stopping first at Paris to see the sights of the city, we were somewhat surprised to see in the leading Paris newspaper, “Le Matin,” an advertisement of the W. Estes school for cartoonists. Visiting the school the next day, we found that Wallace had as his business secretary and partner his wife, our old friend Velma Reynolds. Among his talented pupils were Fred Williamson, Lorene Holt, Henrietta Nunn, Ruth Smith, Mildred Smither, and Henry Maynard. From Wallace we learned that La Rue Bowker, the tallest boy of our class, had gone to Cairo with the intention of establishing a harem. Failing miserably in his attempt, he was consoling himself by operating a chicken farm in the middle of the Sahara Desert. He had as his able assistant, Charles Ragland. Just before leaving Paris we met a party of American tourists composed of Ethel Sauerbrum, Pauline Mosley, Avis Magee, Marie Craig, Bertha Mahler, Hazel Spears, Julia Zanovec, and Louise Stewart. They informed us that they had braved the dangers of crossing the pond ih order to organize a European chapter of the L. O. P. H. (Left on Papa’s Hands) Society, of which they were charter members. After flying in vain over various parts of Europe, we decided that we must have missed some of our friends who still resided in the United States, so we turned our plane toward home. Arriving in this country, our lamp remained dark until we neared the industrial section of Chicago. We landed and visited a large packing plant. Here we found Purser Magee, whom we remembered as being a one-time expert at slinging bull, happily engaged in the profession of packing beef. We soon discovered that he was adept at both arts, and at his urgent request we accompanied him home when the six o’clock whistles blew. Imagine our surprise to find there the smartest girl of the class of ’23, Mariam Anderson, who, always ambitious to be a teacher, had here achieved her life’s desire—she was teaching Purser, Jr., to say “Mother” instead of “Maw.” From them we learned that Lee Moore was touring the country, giving wonderful lecture on “A Closed Mouth Catches No. Flies.” They also informed us that Theodore Rannenberg and Charles Rutstein were owners of the largest chop-suey joint in Chicago. While passing over a small town, Hick’s Center, located between Chicago and St. Louis, our bulb began to sparkle lively. After landing we made our way to the largest building in town. In front was a sign, “The Forrest Adams Beauty School.” On entering we found that every young (?) lady in the town was enrolled as a student. The first names we noticed were Margaret Roma, Marie Lord, Dorothy Atkinson, Tommie Moore, and Marie Bluerock. These pupils were taking an advanced course on the art of “making-up” in public. And now, fellow colleagues of the Academy, you have heard all. 1 am very sorry that I have not the missing parts of the article, but what is here is sufficient to convince you that the Earth-Men were in some ways superior then to us, and that our conception of them as inferior beings is a serious mistake.

Characters Introduced: St. Peter, suffering with gout and slightly peevish. Junior class of Central High School, on tour for theme material, (all doubtful of credits required for entrance into this land, created for Angels, and Seniors). St. Peter, (loudly, having finished cross-examination of two bootleggers): “Next! Roy Gentry: “Class about face! Take off your hats to St. Peter. Jay, lead us in fifteen inspiring yells, and then I’ll put up the old well-known line for entrance to this berg.” Jay: “All-right. Now, altogether everybody. Make it snappy. We’re yelling for a Saint who really puts things over (or under)—Now, sky-rocket!” (Junior class snaps into it, and as the yells die away, Gentry steps up and slaps St. Peter on a rheumatic knee. St. Peter grunts.) Roy: “St. Peter, it is my great pleasure this afternoon to introduce the members of the Junior Class of Central High School, U. S. A. We are collecting material for a theme called “Success.” We have heard some people within these gates are very successful.” St. Pter: “And who are you, young man?” Roy: “I’m president of the class, and I’m negotiating for our tickets.” St. Peter: “Absolutely not a pass issue duntil I find out the past his- tory ©f these members present. Surely this isn’t all the class?” Mosely Cross (interrupting): “Oh, no! St. Peter, a great crowd is still on the other side of the hill. They were late in starting this morning, and the Recording Angels are still writing excuses for them!” St. Peter: “Can’t take any chances with these flappers. They’ve fooled us once too often.” (Toodles Mills {jiggles, and is silenced by a glance from Gene Mooney, who threatens to throw her off a corner of the planet.) St. Peter: “Gentry, what does this class know? How do they regis- ter brainward ?” R. G.: “One hundred per cent. Perdue, tell the gentleman the han- dicaps under which w’e have labored.” Alex Perdue (nervous, but game): “You see, it was this way. We couldn’t keep one teacher longer than a week or two, and the line of substitutes almost floored us. No tw’o women read Burkes Speech in the same tone of voice!” St. Peaer (puzzled): “What is Burkes Speech?” Mosely Cross (interrupting again): “I told you, Ike, it originated in Floyd Hoskins: “Let me tell you! It’s a new hair tonic!” the other place! You see, he’s never heal’d of it!” Clotele Looselv: “It is not! It’s the latest kind of rouge (when its read)!” Myra Lee John: “I ought to know, St. Peter, but I don’t. You see, Sanford Hope studies my book simply all the time, and Juanese and myself never get a chance to look at it, after the third period!” Mona Carnahan: “Robert is the only person that makes me sure Burkes Speech is not a tragedy!” Beverly Kramer and Mildred Gould: “We think it’s a comedy!” Roy: “Girls, girls, you must be ladies. St. Peter, don’t ask such difficult questions.” St. Peter: “Well, then, what is a flapper?” Roy: “We brought two to show you. Here they are—Allie Taylor and Evelyn Dodds. Both are known to be out as late as nine o’clock on several occasions, and have been arrested for speeding in their Ford, by Bennie Bairn, our most responsible Motor Cop.” St. Peter: “Very good. What is a jelly bean?” Roy: “We have several. Jefferson Owens is our greatest rounder. He is seen constantly tearing along Main street with Elliott Ragland and Eugene McGlone. They have a mania for stick candy and fire-crackers!” St. Peter: “Your credentials grade you D—.” Creed Caldwell: “But, St. Peter! Now, I think—” Elsie Smith: “Creed, be quiet! You simply must not argue with a Saint.” (The constant conversation of Helen McNew and Marshall Lyle, and Elizabeth Gugenheim and James Franklin, grows to a low rumble, like thunder.) St. Peter: “Silence in the room! I’ll have the whole bunch thrown overboard!” (The remainder of the class appears on the crest of the hill, and joins their companions.) St. Peter: “And who are these young things?” Roy: “The rest of our one hundred and thirty-one members.” (Here Fave Oury, Juanese Collier, Mary Alice Duncan, Mona Carnahan, Frank Bridges and Myra Lee John all break away from the crowd, for their sensitive natures recognize their soulmates on a near-by hill.) Eliz. Nunn: “Would you like for us to sing to you, St. Peter?” St. Peter: ‘Thanks—I decline. I am already afflicted with gout. You may pass—but first, I must see a copy of Burkes Speech.” Paul Caperton at this moment produces a worn, much used copy and presents it to St. Peter. St. Peter examines it—swoons—recovers. “Ye Gods!” is all he can say, as with a pitying glance he swings wide the gates of Paradise. 42 43 Sophomore Roll Altschul, Norma Appling, Willie Bell, Gladys Benton, Talbot Berbig, Bobby Briley, Vadene Brown.

If the old adage, “no team is stronger than its substitute,” is true, the Zebra average was not lowered. Coach Hammons developed an abundance of material for every position. One of the features of the Red and White team was the introduction of two back-fields, one as good as the other. The “heavy” set was composed of Mooney, full-back, and Sowards and Cornish at the half-back positions. The “light” set used one of the heavier set as full-back, and Duncan and Slaughter as the half-backs. Bullock, quarter-back, ran the team at all times. Lyle, Taggart, and C. Murphy were also used as backs. On the defense, the locals presented an impregnable combination. Only one team, Prescott, was able to score against the Zebras, and that was a fluke. Ramsey, all-state tackle, was shifted to full-back when the locals were on the defense, and the full-back took his position in the line. This plan worked to perfection, as Ramsey is a marvel at backing up the line. Pine Bluff placed five men, Vick, Ramsey, Miller, Bullock and Johnson on the first all-state team; two men. Mooney and Cornish on the second, and Sowards and Atkinson on the third all-state team. No individual athlete should receive more credit than any of the remaining, for every man fought for the good of the team and old Pine Bluff Hi. After having given due credit to the athletes, we should honor the man who is the real cause of the wonderful Zebra machine, Coach Foy H. Hammons, in our opinion Arkansas’ premier coach. At the close of the season, after having played the strongest teams in Arkansas. Tennessee, Louisiana, and Texas, the locals were the undisputed State champions, and had piled up 550 points to their opponents’ 6. 55 ) i ! i i i M. F. Hammons, Coach ! The term 1922-23, Coach Hammons’ second year at Pine Bluff High Sc'icol was probably the most successful that we have had from an athletic standpoint. In every branch of athletics tV team that represented the Red and White showed the effects of having better coaching than opponents eouid boast of. Mr. Hammons came to Pine BluT two years ago from the Jonesboro Agricultural College, where he bega 1 his coaching career. During his college days, he was a star in the football, basketball, baseball and track, and is one of the best athletes that the State of Arkansas has ever turned out. Although Mr. Hammons has received numerous offers from colleges, next year will again see the premier prep-school coach in Arkansas at the helm of athletics at the local school. I j I i i i i ! I I i i ! i i i i ! JOHNSON—End Height 5 ft. 8 in. Weight 145. Turp” is one of the best ends seen in action in a Zebra uniform for a number of years. He receives passes well, and his ability to elude the enemy’s interference and get his man on an end run is uncanny. Johnson is also a flash, frequently called upon to carry the ball. He is an all-state end, and has several more years to add to his glory. RAMSEY—Tackle. Height 6 feet 1 inch. Weight, 180. This was “Tweets” first year with Pine Bluff, as he entered school too late to play with Zebras in ’21. Ramsey’s work was almost invaluable to the team, as he is a giant on the defense, and on the offense opens holes in the opposing line large enough to drive the proverbial “wagon” through. When called into the backfield to carry the ball, he seldom fails to make the required yardage. He is an all-state tackle. MILLER—Guard Height 5 ft 11 in. Weight 170. “Bing” has played on the varsity for two seasons, and has one more year to add to the agony of the opposing teams. He was selected as an all-state guard at the close of last season, and well deserved the honor. He is a hard and tireless worker. Miller is very adept in the art of breaking through the line and nailing the opposing back before he reached the line of scrimmage. His work in the Little Rock game was phenominal. ATKINSON—Center (Captain-Elect) Height 6 ft. Weight 185. “Kid” is Captain-Elect of next year's eleven, and should make a most capable leader. He is an exceptional passer, a power on the offense, and it is a very rare thing for an opposing back to gain through the center of Pine Bluff’s line, with Atkinson’s 185 pounds of brawn and muscle in his path. He was selected center on the third all-state team, although his work could hardly be improved upon by any high school man. V I I I I I I I I I I I I I I i i i ■ i i t i I i f I I i i 57 J. MURPHY—Guard Height 6 feet. Weight, 170. This was John’s first year in football, but he performed in a manner t at would do credit to any veteran. He was unable to make the team at the beginning of the season, because of lack of experience. As the season advanc'd, so did John, and at the close of the season he was considered one of the best of guards that ever donned the Red and White. Next year Murphy should be one of the best linemen in Arkansas. VICK—Tackle (Captain) Height 5 ft. 11 in. Weight 160. This year was Vick’s fourth on the varsity, and he has one more with us. much to the chagrin of rivals. He led the Zebras for two years, which shows the high esteem that his fellow-workers hold for this sterling athlete. As a reward for his exceptional work, Vick was chosen as an all-state tackle. CRAIG—End. Height 5 feet, 10 1-2 inches. Weight, 145 pounds. Craig is one of the greatest receivers of the forward pass that ever dug a spike in the local athletic field. He is also a sure tackier and wins the favor of the fans through his aggressiveness. Keith had the misfortune of breaking his collar-bone in the Lonoke game and was out the remainder of the season. BULLOCK—Quarter-Back Height 5 ft. 9% in. Weight 160. Bullock was one of the most vital cogs in the Zebra machine. He is a heady field general, and the fact that he was selected as all-state quarterback shows the high calibre of his playing. He did all the passing and his educated toe was a big factor in piling up the local’s points. This is Victor’s last year in high school, and his place will be hard to fill. 5 0 CORNISH—Full-Back. t I I I I I i i I i i i I i � ! ! I ! I I Height 5 ft. 11% in Weight 170. Knip was shifted to the back-field from the line, where he played last year. He is on the “pile-driving” type, and it has been impossible to discover an opposing line that can stop him. Cornish is also an unusually good defensive man. He will complete his fourth year on the varsity next season, and may it be his best. DUNCAN—Half-Back (Sub-Captain-El :ct) Loeb started the season at guard, but because of his speed was shifted to the backfield in mid-season He played in every game at a half-back position and was a sensation. Duncan is used a great deal on off-tackle plays, and seldom fails to gain. He is also a good man to use on end runs. Loeb has one more year with us, and a great deal is expected of him. ! I l I I l l l I I I ! ❖ MOONEY—Full-Back Height 6 ft. Weight 190. “Buck” is one of the hardest hitting backs to ever wear the Red and White of Pine Bluff. He lacked experience at the first of the season, but under the tutelage of Coach Hammons, developed into one of the best back-field men in the state. This slashing back can always be counted on for a gain when needed. He is shifted to tackle on the defensive, and fills the position most acceptably. SOWARDS—Half-Back Height 5 ft. 8 in. Weight 170. When the season opened Roe was playing full-back, and playing it a; it should have been played. As the year advanced, and Coach Hammons formed his “heavy” back-field, Sow-ards was moved over to the half-back. He was even more successful here than at full. This is Roe’s last year and the Zebras will certainly miss his line plunging next season. I I ! I I I I ! i 59 ❖ I I I I I I I I ! I I I I I i I I I I I i SMITH—End Height 5 feet, 9 inches. Weight 160. Robert played halfback and did all the kicking during the first of the year, but was hampered by a torn ligament in his finger during the remainder of the season. He was later shifted to end, where his work was characterized by fight and determination. This was his last year at the local school. LYLE Height 5 ft. 5 in. Weight 130. “Chuck” was the smallest man on our championship team, but nevertheless one of the best. He is especially adept at running interference, and seldom failed in this role when called upon. Lyle has two more years with us, and great things are expected of him. j | I I ! i j i j i i i i McC, IBBONY—Center Height 6 ft. 1 in. Weight 145. “Mac,” although handicapped by lack of weight, played in part of practically every game this year. His indomitable spirit will never be forgotten by followers of the Zebras. He is in there fighting for every inch of ground, and his work is always consistent. Frank has two more years with the Red and White. HICKS—Sub End Height 5 ft., 7Vi in. Weight 158. Billy was one of our men that graduated from the second team of last season and showed that he was ripe for 'varsity material. About the only thing that kept him from being a regular was lack of experience, and he gained that this season. We are expecting Hicks to be one of the best ends in Arkansas prep-school circles next year. 60 SLAUGHTER--------Halfback Weight 5 feet, 7 1-2 inches. Weight 155. “Red” played halfback when Coach Hammons used his small backfield. He was one of the fastest men on the squad, and is very hard to stop if he gets away on one of his noted end-runs. Slaughter has another year with Pine Bluff, and should be a sensation. C. MURPHY—Halfback • Height 5 feet, 10 inches. Weight, 160. On account of the wealth of ma-t rial on hand this year, Conley did not make the regular backfield, but played in practically every game. He was cne of the most heady players on the squad, and is an exceptionally good passer and punter. He has one mor' vear with Pine Bluff, and will undoubtedly make the regulars as exceptionally good man. TAGGART—Halfback Height 5 feet 5 1-2 inches. Weight, 152. Lionel came to us as an end, but was shifted to the backfield, as Coach Hammons had an abundance of men on the “wings ” Taggart played in a number of games, and performed creditably. One thing that kept him from making a regular was that he received injuries that hindered him during half the season. “Red” says that nothing can keep him off the first team next year, and we believe in him. The Games September 15 Pine Bluff, 17; Monticello Aggies, 0. The Zebras returning from their at Benton, opened the season by trimming the Monticella Aggies. The game was slow due to the exceedingly hot weather. This fact caused many substitutes to be sent into the game at the beginning of the second quarter. There were no outstanding stars on the Zebra team. Bullock and Mooney scored the local’s touchdown, with Bullock kicking one field goal and a goal after touchdown. September 23 Pine Bluff, 0; Russellville Aggies 2nd, 0. Outweighed, but not outplayed the Zebras tied the Russellville Aggies 2nd team in the only game of the year that the locals were unable to score on their opponents. Again anything but foot-ball weather prevailed, and as a result the game was slow, although both teams showed an undying fighting spirit. Several times Pine Bluff carried the ball within striking distance of the Aggies’ goal, but seemed to lack the drive to carry it over the Ine. Captain Vick’s work was spectacular in the game. Johnson and Slaughter also showed to advantage. September 30 Pine Bluff, 10; Henderson-Brown, 2nd, 0. The Henderson-Brown “scrub” with several first team prospects, furnished plenty of opposition for the Red and White in a thrilling game. Bullock made a 35 yard place kick in the second quarter, but it was not until the third period that the Zebras made a touchdown. Slaughter carried the ball over, after a nice run. Ramsey and Miller starred in the line. Every man in the back-field, including the substitutes, played a stellar game. October 7 Pine Bluff, 53; England.O. Playing in a sea of mud, Pine Bluff had an easy time with England. The game was slow, due to a drizzling rain that fell throughout the contest. The game was marked by determination on both sides, three Zebras and three visitors being ruled out for fighting. Bullock showed mid-season form. He circled the ends and hit the line for innumerable gains, scoring 29 points. C. Murphy made several good punts and his passes were accurate. October 14, Pine Bluff, 149; Hot Springs, 0. Piling up the largest score ever made by a Pine Bluff team, the Zebras had no trouble with Hot Springs. Although the game was a farce the locals fought fhom whistle to whistle. Twice Bullock ran from the kick-off for touchdowns and several othe • long runs. Mooney showed steady improvement, and could hardlv be-stopped. The local line held like the proverbial stone wall on the defense, although there was little strength pitted against it. October 21 Pine Bluff, 10; Little Rock, 0. It is nearly impossible to describe the Zebra-Tiger game in this article, for it was one of the greatest football games ever played on an Arkansas gridiron. From the start of the game the Zebras tore the Little Rock line into frazzles, and displayed the strongest array of back field talent ever presented in Arkansas. The first score of the game came when Bullock kicked a field goal in the second quarter from the thirty-five yard line. During the third period the Zebras threatened several times, but were unable to score. Little Rock drove deep into Pine Bluff’s territory but the Zebra line held. The final score was chalked up in the last quarter, when Bullock made a beautiful run. There was no outstanding star, as the whole team displayed form that would do credit to a college team. October 28 Pine Bluff, 52; Prescott, 6. The Zebras defeated the conquerors of Little Rock in a game that brought both joy and sorrow to the hearts of local fans. The joy was brought by the overwhelming victory and all-round work of the Red and White. The joy-killer came when Prescott score a lucky touchdown, the only one scored during the entire season against the Zebras. Griffith, the Curly Wolves right tackle, scooped up a fumble in mid-field, and ran for a touchdown. He was tackled before crosing the line but the momentum carried both the tackier and the tackled over. Every member of the Zebras displayed a brand of football of which we are proud, and more than made up for their opponent’s tally. November 4 Pine Bluff, 42; Texarkana, 0. Pine Bluff got off to a good beginning in the first half of the Texarkana game, but evidently relaxed during the final half. During the final thirty minutes, the Rams put forth a passing game that drove the ball within scoring distance. However, they were unable to gain through the Zebra’s line, and consequently no score was recorded. Duncan and Johnson were called back from the line several times and made substantial gains. Atkinson, Lyle, and Craig also played exceptionally well. November 11 Pine Bluff, 45; Memphis, 0. Claims for the Southern Championship were further strengthened by Pine Bluff when we defeated Memphis billed as the Champions of Tennessee. The Zebras got off to a rather slow start, but soon displayed their usual offensive power. The Red and White line was impregnable. J. Murphy and Miller stopped practically every play that was directed over them, and opened wide holes on the offense. The back field gave the offensive display for which it is noted, with th exception of the third period, when no score was made. November 18 Pine Bluff, 15; Fort Worth, 0. After playing three scoreless periods, Pine Bluff made 15 points in the last quarter against Fort Worth, and won the most sensational garni played on the local gridiron this season. The Zebras fumbled frequently; although they played a very strong game. The climax of the game was reached when Fort Worth tried a place kick in the last half, when neither team had scored. Ramsey, giant tackle, broke through the nole opened by Atkinson and Mooney, and blocked the kick. Bullock scored nine of the local’s points, and Johnson scored the remaining six in the last minute of play. November 20 More than 500 rooters on a special train accompanied the team t Fordyce, where an easy victory w'as gained. The latter part of the game was played in darkness, as a result of starting late. The Pine Bluff line put forth too much defensive power for the Fordyce backs to pierce it, and consequently nearly all of their gains were made via the aerial route. There were no individual Zebra stars in the game as the whole team played a superb brand of football. Novmber 25 Pine Bluff, 63; Lonoke, 0. Lonoke put up a good fight against a much stronger team, but was hopelessly outclassed. McCrary, star quarter-back of the visitors, got loose on an end run, and was not downed until he had reached the eight yard line. However, the Lonoke offensive then ceased. Pine Bluff was dealt a severe blow when Craig, reliable end, broke his collar bone. His services were lost to the team the remainder of the year. Duncan, Bullock, Cornish, Johnson and Mooney did outstanding work for the Zebras. Thanksgiving Day Pine Bluff, 28; Morgan City, 0. Opposition for the Thanksgiving game was furnished by Morgan City, claimants of the championship of Louisiana. The Red and White goal line was threatened but once, when the visitors reached the three yard line. The Zebra line rose to the occasion, however, and held. Morgan Citv presented the lightest team that Pine Bluff faced this year, but they also d.spiaved an unusual amount of fight. J. Murphy, our fighting guard, was in.iured and had to be carried from the field. The features of the game were the defensive work of Hicks and offensive playing of So wards. December 25 Pine Bluff, 6; Alumni, 0. In the final game of the year, Pine Bluff triumphed over a team composed of former high school stars now in college, The Zebras did not play as they were capable of playing, for they had broken training. Johnson scored the only touchdown of the game, when he received a forward pass over the goal line. The Alumni team threatened several times but lacked the punch and teamwork to register a score. There were no outstanding players for the Zebras.

Although playing his first year with the regulars, Ike performed as though he were a veteran of several seasons. He is a fast offnsive man, a good dribbler, and unusually good at the art of looping long shots. Laws has one more year with the Red and White, and should be one of Arkansas’ best forwards. F. W. BRIDGES, JR. This was Franks second year with the Basketball Zebras. Not withstanding the fact that he did not have as much experience as some of the other men he played his position with all the ease and confidence of an ‘old head.” He had fine floor work and was good at shooting baskets. Bridges will be with us one more year. CECIL C. GENTRY—Guard (Captain) “An all-round baskeball man”—this phrase is the best manner of introducing C. Gentry, the local’s dependable running guard. He is equally as good on the offense, while his dribbling is near to perfection. Cecil was selected as one of the guards on the all-state team, and was further honored with the captaincy- This was his third and last year with the Zebras, and his loss will be keenly felt. ROY GENTRY—Center R. Gentry, the Zebra tall, angular center, was the leading point scorer of the local five. He is a sensational floor man, and is equally proficient in his basket shooting. Roy is also a bulwark on the defense. The high quality of his playing is best shown by the fact that he was selected for the all-state center position. Next year will see him the states best center wearing the Red and White. t ■ ED LEE JOHNSON—Guard (sub-captain) “They shall not pass’’—to all appearances was Johnson’s slogan, for seldom did an opponent get by this sterling guard. Ed Lee, in the opinion of most critics, the states best standing guard, was given a position on the all-state second team. The past year, was Johnson’s fourth on the Zebra machine and his best. He played consistently all season, and to him goes much of the credit for the opponents few scores. ROBERT MILLER—Guard Although 1922-23 was Bing’s first year in basketball, he distinguished himself by his fight and determination He was handicapped during the first part of the year by his lack of experience but advancing rapidly, made the trips with the team. Miller has one more year with the Zebras, and great things are expected of him. He should make one of the state’s best guards. ROBERT LEA This was Idea’s first year with us. The only thing that kept him from being a first string man was illness and the lack of experience. Although he was not on the first team he played in many of the games and proved himself equal to the expectations of the “fans.” Robert was especially good on the offensive and shot baskets well. . He has two more years with us and we are expecting great things of him. EUGENE McGLONE—Forward This year was Gene’s initial one at Pine Bluff Hi, but he soon gained needed experience. McGlone is a good floor man, and excells on long shots. He is also a good defensive man, and it is exceedingly hard for an opponent to get by him. Gene has two more years with us, and should develop into a star of the first magnitude. The Basketball Season For the first time in the history of Pine Bluff High School athletic the local team won the State championship in basketball. The team was composed of four letter men, Johnson and Captain Cecil Gentry at the guard positions; R. Gentry at center, and Bridges at one of the forward positions, while Laws, a new man, played the other forward position. The team was exceedingly well coached, and featured in team work. At the close of the local season the Zezras were entered in the National Interscholastic Tournament in Chicago. Although the only game played was lost to Rockford, Illinois, the Pine Bluff team gained a great deal of valuable experience. On the return trip from Chicago, the team played Champaign, Illinois, losing by two points, due to the small court and long trip. With the loss of only two letter men, a great season is expected for our team next year. 70 1923 Basket Ball Record REGULAR SEASON Jan. 5, Pine Bluff, 45 Jan. 12, Pine Bluff, 30 Jan. 12, Pine Bluff, 24 Jan. 19, Pine Bluff, 24 Jan. 26, Pine Bluff, 31 - Jan. 26, Pine Bluff, 38, Jan. 27, Pine Bluff, 40 Feb. 1, Pine Bluff, 19..—.

The team was composed of Alexander, Vining, McCain, Ager-ton, Newborn, Breathwit, Helvie and Johnson. They represented Pine Bluff in the Junior Tournament, held at Littte Rock, and came out victorious; the Junior champions of Arkansas. At the end of the season they were given sweaters. This wras the first time in the history of our school that sweaters have been given to a Junior team. We expect to see some of these Juniors on our Senior team next year.

Each of the six sessions was attended by a capacity crowd, and hundreds of people were turned away. Every team felt that it received a square deal. The refereeing was well taken care of by “Billy” Mitchell, of Little Rock, and “Cy” Young, of Helena. The Zebras opened the tournament by defeating Little Rock. The Pine Bluff offense did not get started until the last half. The local’s next game was played with Texarkana. This contest was one of the fastest of the tournament. Pine Bluff won by superior teamwork. One of the most exciting games of the tournament was the Pine Bluff and Jonesboro game. The visitors showed teamwork that surprised the Zebras, who seemed to have an off-day. The result was in doubt until the final whistle. The final game of the tournament was played for the championship between Pine Bluff and Batesville. The Zebras started the game with a whirlwind offense that the visitors could not stop, and kept it up during the entire game. Pine Bluff won the State Championship by an overwhelming score. f “1 i Players Position Games 1 .Field Goals Made Field Goals Atempted Personal Fouls Free Throws Made Free Throws Attempted Total Poins Q u 5 c ■ g Q cu Cecil Gentry, (Capt) G 28 115 413 9 2 9 232 .28 Roy Gentry C 26 137 501 9 146 250 420 .2725 Bridges F 27 69 257 21 0 0 138 .2675 Johnson, (standing) G 28 4 20 42 0 0 8 .20 Laws F 25 35 329 31 1 1 71 .1066 Total Points Scored: Pine Bluff, 911-Opponents, 435 Team Percentage .23 13-30 Kept by Mrs. Foy H. Hammons i 75 76 Girls' Basket Ball The girls’ basketball team was completely reorganized this season, all except two of last year’s sextette having graduated. But despite this fact the girls put up their same old fight for state championship. The championship was not claimed, but Pine Bluff won all except one game played, challenged all teams in their territory and answered all challenges. When the season closed Pine Bluff and Helena were running a tie for the championship, Helena having won in their district and Pine Bluff in hers. Pine Bluff challenged Helena three times, but after answering the challenge Helena had to call off the game for reasons that could not be helped. The girls’ line-up for this year was: Katherine Reynolds (captain), forward Vida Mae Holderness, forward. Maude White, center. Adelina Merrick, side center. Frances Coleman, guard. Kelly or Pritchard, guard. Substitutes for the season were: Gould, guard; Crutcher, guard; Bouger, side center, and Wynne, forward. These players, though only subs, were a credit to the team. Captain Reynolds, who was chosen to fill ex-Captain Alexander’s place, was invaluable as a forward. She was always there to put courge and pep into her teammates. Reynolds is due especial credit for her foul shooting. This is Captain Reynolds’ last year with us. The team was fortunate in having Vida Mae Holderness after having been away a season, to fill her old place at forward. She was one of the best and steadiest members of the team. Her long shots won several game's for Pine Bluff. She was also exceptionally good on foul shots, rarely ever missing one. Holderness has one more year with us. I j I i j i i i i I j j f Maude White, as center, played her second successful season for Pine j Bluff. We would probably have had a different stoiy to tell if it had not j been for White’s steady playing. | Adelina Merrick, as side-center, was considered the fastest player on 3 the team. There were only a very few times when Adelina missed her ball. She seemed to be everywhere on her part of the field at the same time. The three guards, Coleman, Pritchard and Kelly, playing in about an ( equal number of games, were considered exceptional guards. All three were successful in keeping their opponents away from the ball. Coleman is considered one of the fastest players on the team.

The Zebras were second in the state meet at Little Rock. The relay team composed of Caruthers, C. Gentry, Caperton and Bagby, set a new state record. Bagby won the individual honors of the meet. The locals also attended the national track meet at Chicago, tying for fifth place in a field of the best prep teams in the United States. The team was composed of Bagby, Caperton, Caruthers, C. Gentry, Riner, Duncan, Luck, Atkinson and Sowards. The prospects for a good track team this year (1923) are very promising, although most of last season’s stars were lost. Among the most prospective men are C. Gentry, Duncan. Talbot, Willey and Atkinson. The annual state track meet is to be held in Pine Bluff, May 4th and 5th, and we expect to add another state championship to our list of this year. Base Ball The baseball prospects are extremely bright this year, although five of last year’s team are ineligible. Of last season’s nine, the following men reported for practice: R. Gentry, Bridges, C. Gentry, Witt, Duncan and McGlone. Among the new men showing the best form are C. Murphy, J. Murphy, Kerr, Miller, Laws and Lea. So far the Zebras have easily won every game they have played, and it is hoped that their record will not be stained by defeat. Success Nuggets For Seniors A dollar saved is a dollar made. Lal)or without saving is wasted energy. The difference between success and failure is a trick of brain. Most of us get what we deserve, but only the successful ones admit it. Waiting for your ship to come in is silly, unless you have sent one out. It’s never too late to mend, but don’t put it off until you forget how. The man who borrows troubles will never lend smiles. The foolish man “darns” his luck—the wise man “mends” it. There is good in all men, but some are stingy about letting it come out. If you believe it can’t be done, it probably can’t—by you. Paddle your own canoe; that’s one way of keeping out of the water. If you stand up for yourself, others can’t sit down on you. Bad luck is generally due to bad habits. Men, like trains, are at their best when they are on the level. Following the line of least resistance is what makes men. as well as rivers, crooked. You can run into debt, but you have to crawl out. Saving common cents is good common sense. The only place to live a happy life is within your income. If you buy what you don’t need, you will soon need what you can’t buy. The secret of saving is watching the hole at the top of your pocket. My belief in chance is that everybody has one. A wise man makes more opportunities than he finds. If you do not open the door when Opportunity knocks, she will think there is “nobody home.” Digging wells is about the only business where you can begin at he top. Your job is like baseball—the hits you made yesterday won’t win today’s game. The trouble with most men who turn over a new leaf is that they use ;he loose leaf system. You cannot build a reputation on the things you are going to do. Being a good fellow generally ends in being a poor fellow. You may cheat the whole world, but you cannot cheat yourself. No building permits are ever issued to air castles. It is more profitable to burn midnight oil than midnight gasoline. You can spend saved money, but you can’t save spent money. All thngs of real value are bought with self-sacrifice. Only the man in an airship has a right to look down on others. Even the tombstones speak well of those under them. Laugh every time you feel tickled and laugh once in a while anyhow. The kind of friends to be glad about are the kind that wear, and don’t ear out. ...........r The Honor Society The charter of the Torch, the Pine Bluff Chapter of the National Honor Society, arrived in September, 1922. Pine Bluff is the first city in the State to form an Honor Society. The first fifteen of the following members were charter members of the class of ’22, while the remaining twelve, seniors of ’23, were initiated with an impressive ceremony during the latter part of December. The object of the society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to encourage the development of character in the pupils of Pine Bluff High School. To be eligible to election the student must have made an honor record in his school life; he must stand in the first one-fourth of his classes; and he must have attended Pine Bluff High School at least two years. Membership in this society is based on scholarship, leadership, character, and service.

The purpose of our club is to create in high school a greater interest and knowledge of Parliamentary laws and debating. Miss Carmical succeeded Mr. Owens as sponsor at the beginning of the term of 1923. The officers for the term of 1922 are as follows: President, Frank Bridges Vice-President, Rowell Caruthers Secretary, Favre Cason For 1923 the following officers were elected: President, P. D. Pride Vice-President, Frank Bridges Secretary, Taylor Roberts Pins were selected and ordered by the committee. TAYLOR ROBERTS KEELIN ANTHONY CECIL GENTRY Chairman Webster Debating: Society The Webster Debating Society, under the supervision of Mr. Patterson of the Economics Department, has had a very successful year. Our club won the inter-club debate on December 11, on the subject: Resolved: That the Ku Klux Klan Does More Harm Than Good to the Country. Four of the six members of the debating team were from our club. The club has purchased and put in the library several copies of the book, “The Arts of Debate,” for study at our regular meetings. The purpose of this club is to develop our powers in the art of public debating. Reno Altschul Tom McGehee Harry Bowden John Means Creed Caldwell.

Although it lost several good men last year by graduation, it has received enough applications to take its pick of members. The club has given a play, “Father Ex-Officio,” coached by Miss Pearl Burks, which was an all-around success. The club had the honor of entertaining the State Older-Boys Conference in December of the year just past. This was considered the best conference ever held. The Hi-Y Club has put on several campaigns in the past year, the latest to help raise money to build a dam on Petit Jean Mountain for the State Camp. One-half of the proceeds of our play went to pay off the annual debt of last year. Among other things this club is doing in the way of service are the installing of magazines in the Boys’ Department of the “Y,” refreeing basketball games at the Grammar schools, putting on hikes for younger ooys, installing a library at the “Y,” and various other things. Our Purpose—To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Our Slogan—Clean speech, clean sports, clean habits, clean scholars. Our Motto—Service to Others. The officers for 1922 were: Harry Bowden, President. “Billy” Hutt, Vice-President. Tom Agerton, Secretary-Treasurer. J. M. Tucker, Advisor. The officers for the year 1923 are: “Billy” Hutt, President. Leonard Harris, Vice-President. Hudson Smart, Secretary-Treasurer. V. W. Smith, Advisor. We were very sorry to have lost Mr. Tucker as he was greatly liked and respected, not only by members of this club, but by every one he came in contact with. He was recognized by all as a leader of exceptional ability and character. While we are sorry to lose him we are glad to see he has received the promotion he so richly deserved. While we lost a true friend .n Mr. Tucker, we have gained one in Mr. Smith. One could not want a better “buddy” than Mr. Smith. He is everything Mr. Tucker was and that is “saying something” for both. 90 Junior Hi-Y Club 1922-1923 OFFICERS John Moans, President. Thomas Gillespie, Vice-President. Bobby Drake, Treasurer.

I I i ! i I i i i l i The purpose of this club is for the study of drama and presentation of plays. The “Mask and Wig’’ Club which has proved to be an active organization and has added much to the interest and entertainment of the Thursday morning assemblies, and to the general life of the school, met regularly on each Monday with Miss Ellice Breath wit, its sponsor. The “Mask and Wig” club considered itself very fortunate in having an entire membership of excellent talent. Proof of this has been shown on the part of the members who have presented the four one-act plays. The first of these was called “Easy Terms,” a cleverly written one-act comedy and well acted by Louise Quattlebaum, Jay Witt and Victor Bullock. This play seemingly met with universal approval of the pupils and teachers as did the play that was presented the Thursday morning before school was dismissed for the Christmas holidays. The cast included eight girls and the play was called “Men Not Wanted.” This play portrayed, much to the enjoyment of the assemblage, a group of modern society girls with all their whims. The cast included Mary Alice Duncan, Vida Mae Holderness, Rosealee Boone, Elizabeth Nunn, Elizabeth McLeod, Louise Soltz, Mona Carnahan, and Helen McNew. The third play was entitled, “Aunt Abigail and the Boys.” The eleven characters were very well portrayed by Frances Coleman, Mona Carnahan, Lawrence Dixon, Loeb Duncan, Eugene Agerton, William Alexander Breathwit, Bennie Bairn, Eugene Mooney, John Bellamy, Robert Miller and Haltom Gillespie. The last, but not least, of the one-act plays was entitled “Who Kissed Barbara.” The problem of finding the guilty one was carried out very well by Faye Smullian, Ella Hunn Howell, Eugene Mooney, Jay Witt, and Ed. Lee Johnson. The club has much in store for the future. A three-act play “The ( harm School,” will be given in the early spring. This play will includs the entire membership of the club. The officers for the first half, were Jay Witt. President; Fay Smullian, Vice-president; Eugene Mooney, Secretary and Treasurer, and Ella Hunn Howell, Press Correspondent. The officers of the second half were Jay Witt, President; Lawrence Dixon. Vice-President: Mary Alice Duncan, Secretary; Vida Mae Holderness, Treasurer, and Ella Hunn Howell, Press Correspondent.

The Blackfriars Dramatic Club, which was organized in September, 1922, has as its sponsor Miss Pearl Burks, one of Pine Bluff’s finest expression teachers. Under her direction we have presented several plays in Assembly, among which were “Ashes of Roses,’’ “The First Rehea sa “Miss Marmaduke’s Reign,” and “Patsy,” and have given a colonial program, consisting of a play, “Powder and Patches,” readings, and old fashioned dances by Junior High School pupils, which w’as one of the greatest attractions of the winter. Our purpose is to instruct club members in the fundamentals of Dramatic Art, to create an interest in this kind of wrork, and to provide wholesome entertainment for the school. In each of these we think we have succeeded. OUR CLUB ROLL Jane Hardy Reha Gill Edna V.

In Some cases he must fall. There are women, wine and sonp:— They are first—and yet alonp With these three come others— And one most emphatic: Man has always claimed conceit; Has a way that’s rather neat. Of proelaiminp to the world, “I am dramatic!” Likes to dramatize; be rouph: Pull the well-known cave-man stuff; Boss his home, and play the tyrant, full of rape. But in all his dramatizinp, With himself he’s sympathizing. Sure, he likes to keep the center of the stape. And—a woman’s just as bad. She can take the things she had, And imapine something else is SO much better. She has nothing on the men— Even beats them, in the end. For in acting, she can follow to the letter. So, as pood old Shakespeare said: (He won’t mind;—the man is dead.) All the world’s a stape—and we must play a part. Comedy and tragedy, drama plays and icry— Things that may appeal to taste, or mind or heart. So we have a Junior club, (But we’re young, oh! there’s the rub) But we’ll prow, and we’ll be wise as any sage! There are many thinps to do; Some for me, but MOST for you. “What we need is time, and space—and mostly, Ape!” 98 Glee Club Our Glee Club was organized in September along with the other clubs of the school. From its large attendance it proves itself to be one of the most popular school clubs. It has proven itself worthy by the selections it has rendered in the assemblies. This club has been twice re-organized and is now under the supervision of Miss Broadstreet. The Pine Bluff Science Club The Pine Bluff Science Club was organized October the second, with Mr. B. L. Commesser, head of the Science Department, as sponsor, and with some twenty enterprising students of Chemistry and Physics as members. This club has as its purpose the promotion of greater and better understanding of practical scientific knowledge. We feel highly honored in the fact that Mr. J. R. Allen, State Inspector of High Schools, is an honorary member of our society. In order that a larger per cent of members might have the opportunity of serving as officers, the club decided to elect officers twice each semster. Thus far it has been ably led by the following officers: Term President Vice-President Secretary First Second...

As the name of our club implies, we are just a little family, that is trying, by the assistance of our instructor, Mrs. Major, to learn something of France and all that pertains to her, so that we may more fully appreciate the value that country has been, and now is, to the world. Much of our time the past year has been devoted to conversational French, by which we have acquired inestimable good, even more good than we could possibly derive from the same amount of time spent in the classroom. Our play, “Depuis Six Mois,” put into practice what we have learned during the year, and probably helped everyone more than did any other one thing to understand and speak the French language. As we come to the close of the year we feel that we have really been much benefited by our term of club work, and that the things we have learned will be of lasting importance to every member of our family. The Travel Club The Travel Club was organized October 16, 1922. The sponsors for the club are Miss Reyburn and Mrs. Wright. The purpose of the club is to study various places of interest in the United States and in other countries. The officers for the first term were as follows: President—Teddie Jones. First Vice-President—John McLeod. Second Vice-President—David Bluthenthal. Secretary—Howard Loosley. The officers for the second term are as follows. President—David Bluthenthal. First Vice-President—Warren Means Second Vice-President—Jack Austin. Secretary—John McLeod. During the first term the club did not take a special country or continent to base their programs on, but discussed various places of interest in different parts of the world. Among the most interesting programs were those on Arkansas, the Yellowstone National Park, Alaska, and the Niagaras of Five Continents. This term the club has adopted as its subject, the United States and Island Possessions. All of our programs are to come under this head. I t The Junior Science Club is under the supervision of Mrs. O’Connor. 1 This club is composed of our young scientists who attend the Junior High 1 School. The Science Clubs in the Senior High expect to get some good i material from this club, and from the work it has been doing, it looks as if they are not going to be disappointed. j i l i i i 106 The Boys Club is sponsored by Mr. Mitchell. It is composed of 1 Junior Hi School Boys. There seems to be a great deal of interest taken 1 f in its work and we believe it will soon develop into one of the leading j j Junior High School Clubs. { i i i 07 Alumni We take this opportunity to thank the Alumni Association for what it has done for the School. We appreciate the kindness of its members in buying blankets for our football team, and we thank them heartily for their assistance in helping place this edition of our Year Book before the public. We wish for them the greatest possible success in all that they undertake, and it is our desire that we may be able to help them in the near future. 109 The Student Council The Student Council is an organization, the purpose of which is to secure orderly conduct and obedience to school regulations on the part of the student body. It also endeavors to keep Pine Bluff High School up to the highest standard possible and to promote harmony between teachers and students. This Council has accomplished most admirable results in the past year. Not only has it served its purpose, but it has also caused a better attitude to exist among students by enforcing school rules.

H. Hoffnagle. During thj football season it furnished music at all ganns—and it was good music, too. Later, when the state track meet was held at Little Rock, the band accompanied the team there and played during the meat, thus advertising P. B. H. S. and inspiring other schools of the state to organized bands. A concert was given near the close of the term. The band resumed its work in September, 1922, with Mr. J. E. Scott as director, and increased its membership to twenty-five. In recognition of the good work done by the band during this and the preceding terms it was officially adopted by the Pine Bluff Rotary Club and equipped with uniforms—much to the pleasure of the members (of the band). Accordingly, we may now expect our band to show great improvement in quality and quantity, and we may know that the concert soon to be given by it in conjunction with the orchestra will be entertainment of the best and most enjoyable type. Hiffh School Orchestra One of the most valuable assets of P. B. H. S. is its Orchestra. It plays in our weekly assemblies and has taken part in several evening programs. At the end of the year the Orchestra expects to give a concert. Mr. J. E. Scott is the director and Miss Patterson is sponsor. The following are the members: Violins: Claude Hoskins, Aaron Bairn, Norma Altschul, Jack Cone, Miss Patterson, Hattie Marcus, Robert Lowe, Levonne Myers, Earl Williams and James McEwen. Cornets: Irwin Scott, Verne Alexander and Myer Marcus. Clarinets: Charles Warriner, Marshall Lyle and Harry Levine. Saxophones: Velma Reynolds, John Lyle, and Mrs. Sanders. Trombone: Sanford Hope. Mandolin: Floyd Hoskins. Baritone: Wi'liam Borman. Alto: Arkell Freeman. Bass Violin: Charles Ragan. Drums: Milton Howard. Curtis Howard and Harold Green Piano: Louise Riner and Inez Williams.
