All congratulations should be wirelessed to Elizabeth Gugenheim, official recorder for the seven planets.) We who had assembled foi a little while on eaith in an effort to locate former Bine Bluff High School students, were filled with delight to heai the familiar tones of the announcer. Creed Caldwell, saying: “We are featuring in our program this evening a tuneful musical comedy number. ‘The Zebra’s Kick.’ ” “Please adjust your ladio minors that you may get a clear view of the unusual chorus. We think it is a group far superior to the Follies.’’ The overture came to us clearly. Imagine our surprise when a view of the stage was reflected and from behind the velvet curtain tripped th leading lady, Mona Carnahan, followed by eight shapely beauties whom we recognized as Elsie Smith, Elizabeth Nunn, Juaneese Collier, Frances Crutcher, Mildred Gould, Thelma Culpepper, Evelyn Dodds and Frances Moore. They were diessed in gorgeous red chiffon dresses with white scaifs—our dear old high school colors. The leader of the orchestra was so absorbed in the chorus that he forgot to stop the music, which trailed aimlessly away into silence. We excused him, however, when we realized he was Jack Cone. Three other orchestra members were known to us—Hattie Marcus, Quay, and John Lyle. We were startled when we heard Creed read a message from Beverley Kramer, who had finally succeeed in capturing Pete Core and was happily engaged in raising canary birds for the Boll Weevil Cafe, run by John William Bellamy and Frances Coleman. The waitresses were Allie Taylor and Lucile Burchfield. The next number on the progiam was a minstrel chorus, which included Eddie Case, Virgil Berry, Teddy Baer, Raymond Curlin, Robert Drake, Ross Maynard, Bennie Bairn, Howard Atkinson, and Max Thompson. A monologue was given after the ministrel, and we recognized Weldon Spears in his favorite role. + ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________f' 24 Senior Prophecy (Continued) Scenes from the Old Home Town were given for the benefit of the dear students of ’24 who were longing to catch a glimpse of the familiar sights. The center of the mirror revealed a sight which would have seemed extiaordinary had it been mentioned about 1924! No other than that Hoy Gentry had married Gwendolyn Brassell and now delivered laundry for his wife! Our old friend Roy was oiling a new wagon, the gift of the United Wagon Woiks, of which Gordon Arnette was owner, with Robert Hudson as his crew boss. We next saw the interior of the local Y. M. C. A. Leonard Harris was the secretary; Billy Hutt, physical director; and Walter Davis porter. A section of Armour’s packing plant flashed into view. Mosley Cross, Alex Perdue, and Richard Pierce had discarded the art of tossing the bull and were now tossing the cow. Robert Miller, by playing the stock markets (along with the help of Father-in-law Carnahan), had gained almost a controlling interest in the Cotton Belt Railroad, and had invented “The Hobo’s Delight, a box car with smoker, hot and cold bath, and various other devices for the comfort of gentlemen of the road. Some of those who took advantage of this convenience were Ben Murdock, Jesse Bogy, Clyde Parker, and Alfred Taylor. Cailyle Beauchamp was the minister of the Holy Roller Church. In his congregation we noticed Grace Patterson, Ruth Hurd. Jane Pyatt, and Noiine Shaw. They were trying to reduce by rolling. The baseball diamond stood out prominently among the school views. Dana Merrick was managing the Dirty Sox Baseball Team, known far and wide as the best team in the South. He was assisted by Ralph Robinson and James Franklin. A picture of the High School brought tears to our eyes, and our hearts cracked when we saw Miss Chandler. Fdna V. Bolin, as in days of yore, was helping Miss Chandler grade notebooks, and trying to get her grade raised. We tried to find Loeb Duncan itr the journalism class, but leanted that he had moved to Hollywood upon the insistance of several actresses, and was starring in a super-production, The Sheik of Hoboken.’’ His leading lady was Kate Batterton. one of the most popular actresses of the screen. We found Helen Brooks conducting a debate with her aged teacher: “Resolved That a Student, After Nineteen Years of Study, Deserves More Than a D.” We were next informed that Elliott Ragland had earned two dollars and eighty-seven cents, but that the Penny Prudential Bank went bankrupt and he had lost everything. The directors of the bank were Rosalea Boone, and Vara Mason. The mirror next reflected Frank Biidges digging a grave for Bothilda Anderson who had promptly dropped dead when Jefferson Owens proposed to her. Senior Prophecy (Continued) A familiar sight to most of the boys brought back pleasant (?) memories—the police station. Rex Ramsay had just been arrested for polygamy by the town ‘cop,’ Ike Laws. Those w ho claimed Rex for their own were Mildred Gill, Frances Hardy, Edith Jenkins, and Elizabeth Her-schell. Shifting the mirror we saw one of our school friends, Harry Feinberg, who was to fight young Tom Agerton. Agerton had just knocked out Jack Dempsey and now the “Yiddish Kid was to fight him. We afterwards learned that Harry was knocked out in the first twenty seconds. Harry is now promoting a match between two women who have broken into the ring, Frances Winters and Edna Earl Brewster.

The president, “Chuck” Lyle, has starred on the gridiron for the past three years; the vice-president, Claude Hoskins, has put much time and hard work into the High School Orchestra and Band ever since he has been big enough to hold a bow and drum-stick; and last the secretary, Vida May Holderness, has exerted much energy on the girls’ basket ball team for the past several years. Miss Frances Land, who is now teaching in the Junior High School, was elected sponsor of the class. The junior class has one hundred and fifteen members, including the famous “Buck” Mooney, who won his fame on the gridiron, and Donald Duncan, who has recently become affiliated with the rest of the sheiks of the movies. The class had sole claim to the celebrated yell king, Jay Witt, and now joins the rest of the school in mourning his loss. It is with great pride, however, that they announce that his successor, “Skeeter” Dixon, is one of their number. Mason Young, with whom we will all be glad to say we went to school, and of whom we are all justly proud, belongs to the class. Is it not a wonder that every member of a eiass which has been so smiled upon, is not conceited sirrce they can boast of such rare talent? In this Fred Johnson, alias “Ben Turpin,” well deserves a high place. The junior class has done its part itt the contribution to the annual contests which take place between the schools of the state. Miss Norma Altschul represented Pine Bluff High School in violin one year, as did Claude Hoskins, and Chester Lawing was the rep;esenttive irr voi e. All of them are members of the junior class. In a word, if slang may be pardoned, the Junior Class is simply a “cracker-jack.” 44 Other Juniors Norma Altschul Ilarvie Atkinson Sadie Barbler Vera Brown Gladys Bell Annie Lou Bledsoe Lucille Burgle Helen Boyce Loui.; Bluerock Lillian Butler Pearl Chambers Itose Cook Janiei Cornwell Edith Dreyfus Lawrence Dixon Henry Dial Donald Duncan Lwing Goodman Elbert Gannaway May Hart sell Floyd Hoskins Fred Johnson Virgil Kersli Ora Kelley Harry Levine Jacob Levijic Howard Lindsey Edward Mltsch Jessie Malley Robbie Me Entire Sam McDonald Frank McGibbony Eugenia Norton Lucile Norton Hilma Orr Charles Parker Margaret Pritchard John Palmer Charles Ruc ker Virginia Reno Gladys Ross Lillian Russell Emily Sauerbrum Marie Simmons Joyce Swayzee Janies Thomasson Elizabeth Thomas Theresa Vance William Vineyard Jeanette Williams John Williams Elizabeth Whaley Mason Young T. C. Zanovec The sophomores of today who were frolicsome freshmen but yesterday in two more short years will be dignified seniors. This class of '26 that entered into Junior High School four years ago from the various grade schools of the city, followed the example of the classes that had gone before them by organizing this year with Lara Hutt as president; Asa McCain, vice-president; and Herbert Newbern, secretary. The class of ’26 has done its bit toward making Central High School a bigger and better institution. Three members of the junior basket ball team, the State champions, are sophomores. They are Edwin Alexander, better known as “Cap’n Ebbie,” Herbert Newbern, and Robert Newbern. They have all done splendid work this year. 46 Other Sophomores Shelby Anderson Vivian Alexander Velma Alford Janye Alcorn Dashiell Bryson Alex Breathwit Louis Bluerock Dorothy Bahlau Verla Mae Bailey J.

R. Young ■ X c ZCJ' FOY H. HAMMONS Coach Hammons has been in charge of boys’ athletics in the Pine Bluff High School for three years. In that time he has developed two state champion football teams, four state champion basket ball teams, and two excellent baseball teams. From his record it can be clearly seen he deserves the title, “Arkansas’ Premier Coach.” DOC McCAIN While this is assistant coach Doc McCain’s first year here he is well-known as an athlete, having played on P. B. H. S.’s teams in the past. Too much cannot be said of “Doc” and the part he has had in developing athletes in this school. A coach’s ability is measured by his teams’ trust in him, and Doc has the respect of them all. P. B. Letter Men Baseball '23 Gentry Murphy, J. Murphy, C.

Competition for the places on all teams has been greater than ever before. Coach Hammons has instilled and developed a fighting strain in our athletic teams not seen in many years. The football team’s remarkable come-back after its defeat is evidence of this fact. Pine Bluff’s athletic future is most promising. Besides producing winning teams. Coaches Hammons and McCain have developed many local stais. Although many of our best athletes graduate this year, material from second string men is so good as to insure winning teams during another season. This year Pine Bluff High School lost the state football championship but won both state championships in boys’ basket ball. The girls’ basket ball team took third place in the state tournament at Fayetteville and won two places on the first all-state-team. It is too early as yet to predict baseball and track results, but all indications are that we will have winning teams in both. Over seventy men reported to Coach Hammons for the first practice of these two teams. A baseball league was organized with four teams, each team having two last year’s letter men as captains. Both the baseball league and the track meet aroused much competition. While credit must be given to the members of these teams we must not overlook the fact that most goes to the ones who have developed them—Coaches Foy H. Hammons, Doc McCain, and Elizabeth Boyers. 72 73 BRANNON—Left End (Height 5 ft. 8 in.; weight 147) Del was without a doubt the best end for the second team. Del played He was a tireless worker, and with his “never-give-up” spirit he was a great help to the other players. This was his first and last year on the team. He was selected as all-state end for the second team. Del layed good games all the time hut was at his best in Toledo and won the favor of the Northern sport writers. JOHNSON—End (Height 5 ft. 9 in.; weight 145) “Turp” is a four-year man and has one more left to play. He started the season at quarter, sacrificing his chances for all-state end. He is a veteran and plays any position well, but he was a sensation on the defense. He was selected as all-state third team end even though he had played only part of the season in this position. His real ability as an end is best shown by the fact that he was on the first all-state team in 1922. VICK—Tackle (Height 5 ft. 10 in.; weight 157) Louis was a star that stood out among other players. He was mentioned for AllAmerican by Northern sport writers. He has made the all-state first team Two years and the all-state second team one. He was a hard player and fought all of the time. Louis, who was not as heavy as many of his opponents, never knew what it was to be outplayed. He was an old timer with the team, having played five years. This was his last year. REX RAMSAY—Fullback (Height 6 ft. 1V6 in.; weight 196) “Tincy” has been given the honor of being called Arkansas’ greatest High School football player by the Arkansas Gazette. Rex played his last and second year for Pine Bluff and will be greatly missed. He was the backbone of the team’s defense, and called signals on the offense. Rex has made one of the All-state teams for the past four years. He was Captain of the second team one year. Rex is an able athlete that any school would he proud of. j£--------------------------------------------------- ---- 74 19 J. MURPHY—Guard (Height 6 ft.; weight 176) “Spud, the fighting Irishman, was one of the big men in the Zebra line. He was a defensive fighter of great ability and on the offense he was a sure ground gainer. He was a steady and tireless player and was in the fame all of the time. He played two years, and was this year chosen as all-state guard on the second team. The Zebras will certainly miss him another year. MILLER—Guard (Height 6 ft.; weight 178) “Bing has played his last game with Pine Bluff. He was one of the best athletes ever developed by Pine Bluff School. His impression on the coaches of the state was shown by his selection to the all-state first team for the last two years. He was always a consistent line opener and tackier and good at interference. Pine Bluff has never had a better guard than Robert. P, McCANCE—Tackle (Height 6 ft. 1 in.; weight 175) “Dynamite,” playing his first year at football, did exceedingly well. Although he was not a regular, only inexperience kept him down. We expect great things from him next season. ATKINSON—Center (Height 6 ft.; weight 185) This was the third and last season for the center and captain. Tom was a steady player and one of the best defesive men of the state. His shoulder was broken in the Little Rock game and he was out of the game tor the remainder of the season. He was greatly missed in the line-up. with all credit to McGib-bony. Tom made the all-state third team. n' 75 «. DUNCAN—Halfback (Height 6 ft.; weight 160) “Mogul.” sub-captain, who played his last year with the team the past season, was a very hard tackier on the defense and a reliable man on the offense. He could punt and pass with equal ability. From Duncan to Hicks was a deadly combination when it came to the passing game. He won honorable mention on the all-state for two seasons. HICKS—End and Halfback (Height 5 ft. 9 in.; weight 166) Hicks was a player who stood out above many as he always gave the fans their thrills by long runs. He could kick well, and was a good receiver of punts and passes. His feats can only be equaled by such stars as Bullock and Bagby. He has played two years and has two left, and we are expecting great things from him next year. He made third all-state. LYLE—Quarterback (Height 5 ft. 5 in.; weight 135) “Chuck,” captain elect, was the midget of the regulars, but what he lacked in weight and height he had in speed and ability. He was considered the best man on interference in the state. He received honorable mention two years. The next season will be his last with the team. As captian he will be a capable and 1 earless leader. CORNISH—Fullback (Height 5 ft. 11V2 in.; weight 180) Crupp, a veteran of four hard years of training, won fame in the state and was selected by the coaches as all-state fullback on the first team. He was a very steady player and could be depended on to gain ground just at the time it was needed. He played his best at Dayton. He will not be with us next year. 76 McG IB BO NY—Center (Height 6 ft.; weight 165) “Battling Mack ’ sub-captain elect, won his nick name by his fight. He is expected to be the backbone of the Zebra line next year, and w e are confident that he will carry his burden easily. Much is expected of him and if his old fight hold out he will be unbeatable. MOONEY—Fullback (Height 6 ft., weight 180) “Buck 4 the biggest of all of the backfield men, alternated from half to the full-back position with Cornish. Mooney was a man who was very valuable to the team because of his ability to pass, kick, and run with the ball. Both on the offense and defense he was a power in the Zebra machine, being a line-plunger of uncanny ability. He has played tw’o years and has one left. He has been selected as a left-half on the all-state second for the past two years. BELLAMY—Sub-End (Height 5 ft. 8 in.; weight 150) This was John’s first year on the team but he played like a verteran, and was not discouraged because he had to fight for a place on the team against some of the best ends in the state. He showed the fighting spirit characteristic of all of the Zebras. This is his last year in high school. GENTRY—End (Height 6 ft. lxk in.; weight 160) Roy, who was playing his first year, easily made good at the end position. He was handicapped by the lack of experience, but in spite of this he gave his best and won his letter. We are sorry that he will not be able to be back next season but we are sure he will make good no matter where he goes. 4 n 77 REEVES—Quarterback (Height 5 ft. 8 in.; weight 130) J. C. was a bit small hut he was a hard worker and won a sweater by a big margin. He was in the field with the best of competition and deserves a lot of credit for his good showing. He has made his letter only one year. C. MURPHY—Halfback (Height 5 ft. 10 in.; weight 155) “Smilin’ Kid, brother of “Spud. finished his high school football this year. Conley was a good punter and drop-kicker and a very heavy player. This was his second year on the team. We wish him good luck in college. All State Selections First Team Position Second Team Trice.

R iL 7S The Football Season Although it was defeated for the first time in three years, Pine Bluff High School’s football team last fall completed its most auspicious season. More teams with national and district reputations were played, more attention and publicity were gained, and more local interest and support were given the Zebras than ever before. Twelve games were played during the season. Nine games were won and three were lost. The Zebras scored 235 points to their opponents’ 44. The longest trip ever made by a Pine Bluff athletic team was taken early in the fall. The Zehias played in Dayton and Toledo, Ohio, on consecutive weeks. While away they took side trips to Detroit, where the team was taken through the Ford Motor Company, and into Canada. The trip lasted ten days. One of the coincidents of the season was that Pine Bluff’s only defeats came in three consecutive weeks. Both games on the Northern trip were lost, and in the first home game, that with Little Rock, the third defeat was given the Zehias. With only four men, Bullock, Sowards, Taggart, and Smith out from the 1922 line-up, the training season started near the close of August. Candidates foi the team with Coach Foy II. Hammons and assistant Coach Doc McCain went into training camp near Benton. After two weeks in camp the team returned home and had a wreek of training on the local filed befoie the first game which was with the Monticello Aggies. September 15 Pine Bluff, 13; Monticello Aggies, 2. The season opened at Monticello when the Zebras defeated the Monticello Aggies. Slaughter made the first touchdown by receiving a pass from Duncan over the line. Monticello made its two points on a safety. A number of students and former students, who are now attending college, motored to the game and cheered the Zebras. so Football Games (Continued) September 21 Pine Bluff, 31; Hendrix Seconds, 0. On the following Friday the first game on the local field was won by Pine Bluff from the Hendrix Bull Pups. Hendrix scored first by a touchdown in the second quarter. Pine Bluff evened the count before the half was over and piled up the top-heavy score during the last two periods. A 55-yard run by Mooney was the feature of the game. Hicks also made long runs. September 28 Pine Bluff, 46; Henderson-Brown Seconds, 0. Henderson-Brown’s Scrubs offered little opposition for the Zebras in a game that was played on the hottest day of the football season. Piling up a big score in the first few minutes because of the heat, Coach Hammons used 23 men in the game. The visitors used 18 players. Few men on either team were able to play the entire game. Johnson and Hicks made substantial gains for Pine Bluff. October 6 Pine Bluff, 6; Steele (Dayton), 14. Pine Bluff lost its first football game in the North when it was defeated by Steele High of Dayton, Ohio. With the score of 14 to 0 against them in the third quarter the Zebras opened an attack which carried the ball over the line on the first play of the fourth period. Cornish took the ball over after he and Johnson had carried it downfield by series of line plunges. Northern sport writers praised the work of Hicks, Mooney, Cornish, Johnson, and Vick and also the fighting spirit of the whole team. October 13 Pine Bluff, 7; W’aite (Toledo), 19 ,� ({. ' rn‘‘ j,,. . . . Out-weighed, and therefore out-played, the Zebras met their second defeat within two weeks at the hands of W’aite High at Toledo. At the At the end of the first half the score was 7 to 7 and hopes for a Pine Bluff victoiy were high. In the last half the greater weight of the Waite team began to assert itself and the Zebras gradually tired until they were not able to stop the Northerners’ attacks. Loeb Duncan made the touchdown foi Pine Bluff after intercepting a pass and running 80 yards through a broken field. Louis Vick kicked goal. October 20 Pine Bluff, 0; Little Rock, 3. Pine Bluff’s third defeat was administered in the first home game by Little Rock. Although the score was only 3 to 0, the Tigers got full revenge for their defeat in 1922. Their only score wras a place kick by Johnson, right guard, from the 12-yard line in the second quarter. Pine Bluff consistently gained more ground on straight football than the Tigers, and when they scored the Pine Bluff fans thought it was luck and 81 Football Games (Continued) the Zebras would soon make a touchdown. Pine Bluff had several opportunities to score, taking the ball to Little Rock’s four-yard line at one time in the fourth peiiod. On every occasion the Tigers held and punted out of danger. One of the prettiest plays of the game was a 35-yard pass from Mooney to Conley Murphy. October 27 Pine Bluff, 272; El Dorado, 0. With the entire line-up changed and Vick calling signals from the tackle position, Pine Bluff made short work of El Dorado on the Saturday following the Little Rock game. The Zebras scored within three minutes after the game started and easily made three more touchdowns in the last half. Johnson went back to end, where he started last year, and Lyle to quarter in this game. The resultant score showed the advantage of this change. November 3 Pine Bluff, 21; Memphis University School, 0. The prep school champions of Memphis were added to the Zebras’ string of victories when they defeated the Memphis University School. The game was played on a muddy field atrd neither team showed much speed. Fumbles were common and men often slid further than they ran. Pine Bluff scored its only safety of the season during the first quarter of this game. November 9 Pine Bluff, 27; Memphis Central High, 0. More than 125 rooters and the High School band cheered the Zebras on when they easily defeated Memphis on her own field. Pine Bluff scored in the second quarter when Duncan passed 30-yards over the line to Hicks. Three more touchdowns were made in the last half. The special train which carried the rooters stayed in Memphis over night and did not leave until after the Centre-Sewanee game on Saturday. November 17 Pine Bluff, 25; North Side (Fort Worth), 0. Pine Bluff was the first high school to score on North Side last season. There was a dozen outstanding plays and long runs during the game but the most noticeable feature was the Zebras’ teamwork. The interference was as near perfect as was reachd last year. The first touchdown was the result of an 85-yard march down field. Duncan carried the ball over. 82 Football Games (Continued) November 24 Fine Bluff, 26; Russellville Seconds, 6. Returing a punt 85-yards for a touchdown, Billy Hicks made the longest run of the season in the Russellville game. Fine Bluff consistently gained on the Wonder Boys except in the second quarter when the visitors took the offensive and scored their only touchdown. November 29 Fine Bluff, 6; Mississippi A. M. Reserves, 0. Fine Bluff ended its football season on Thanksgiving day by defeating the Mississippi A. M. Reserves. After being held to a scoreless tie in the first half, the Zebras rallied and scored. Despite the fact that the game was played on a muddy field, Fine Bluff showed some speedy work. Robert Miller had to be carried off the field because of injuries in the last game he played in Pine Bluff uniform. This was the first game be had ever been forced out of.

AJ j, A Comparison of Scores Since Coach Hammons became athletic director of our school the football team has made ofte of the greatest records in the country. Wheh one looks over the team’s three-year record there are several things which indicate that football in Pine Bluff lias steadily been developed to a higher plane. During this period the Zebras scored 1072 points to their opponents' $3. They won 31 and tied two out of 36 games played. v . '• The teams Pine Bluff met during these three years were from every part of tho country. No less t|ian three state champion teams from out of Arkansas were met and defeated. When the Zebras played in Dayton and Toledo they scored on teams which have been considered for several years two pf the country’s best. Both of these have at some time laid claim to the national championship title and have received it from sport writers. Great series indeed have been taken in these years and one realizes it all the more when one looks over the old annuals and finds Pine Bluff being defeated by Dermott, no farther back than 1920. The complete football record under Coach Hammons’ direction is as follows: 1921 1922 Zebras Zebras Zebras Zebras Zebras Zebras Zebras Zebras Zebras Zebras 7; Henderson-Brown (second) 6 Zebras 39; Ouachita (second) ...... 7 Zebras 48; Hot Springs ............ 0 Zebras 54; Conway .............V.....0 Zebras 16; Fordyce .............. 13 Zebras 0; Lonoke ................. 0 Zebras 41; Texarkana ............. 0 Zebras in- Zebras Zebras 13; Fordyce ........................‘ 0 42; Shreveport ....T„..,..v........ ,7 27; Tupelo ...................... d Zebras Zebras O) Zebras Zebras Zebras 1923 17; Monticello Aggies ........ 0 0; Russellville Aggies ...... 0 10; Henderson-Brown (2nd)..... 0 53; England .................. 0 149; Hot Springs .............. 0 10; Little Rock .............. 0 52; Prescott 6 42; Texarkana ............!.. 0 45; Memphis C.

Reserves 0 f r MILLER—GUARD (Height 6 ft.; weight 182) This was Robert’s first year as a letter man in basket ball. He was handicapped by injuries at the first of the season and was out for a good many games. He is a senior and we are sure that he will give some one a run in college for a place on the team. Miller showed unusual sportsmanship. RAMSAY—Guard (Height 6 ft. 1 in.; weight 195) This was “Tincy’s first year as a regular and he held up his end of the game with fine and steady playing. Rex was chosen as guard on the alldistrict second team for his good work during the tournament. He was the giant of the squad and easily out-reached his opponents. He will not be with the team next year. CA PERTON—Forward (Height 6 ft. l1 in.; weight 165) “Zeke” was a big factor in the team’s offense as he was unbeatable when it came to following up the rebound and making them count for two points instead of a miss. He was also the fastest man on the squad, and played in any position. He was chosen as guard on the all-district first team and forward and captain on the all-state second team. He has made his letter two years and ha 5 one left to play. GENTRY—(Captain)—Center (Height 6 ft. l1 in.; weight 166) That Roy wras the be ,t center that has ncen developeu in the high schools cf the state in several years was proven by hii being selected for that position on the first all-state teams for (he past two seasons. He has led his team ma'e; in scoring by a good margin and his passing has been one of the strong points of the Zebra} of-fen ;c. He is also wide awake on the def: n e. Vne whole school regrets the loss of the popular leader and captain. 4 86 BELLAMY—Guard (Height 5 ft. 8 in.; weight 149) Although “Mumps did not play in all the games the ones that he did play in were marked by his earnest endeavors to keep the other team from scoring. Besides being a defender of his goal he played in the position as forward and center. He was never backward in wanting to fulfill the wishes of coach and he is noted for his politeness to his opponents. McGLON E—Guard-Forward (Height 5 ft. 10 in; weight 145) “Smokey was the best of the utility men, and had the best eye for the basket of any of the squad. This is his first year as a letter man and he showed up so well that we are sure he will make things go with the two years he has left to play for the Zebras. He played his best game against Jonesboro. In this game he was unbeatable. BRIOGES—(Sub-Captain—Guard (Height 5 ft. 9 in.; weight 143) Frank was a boy who never said much, did lots and did it well. He was one of the best defensive men in the state, and one who can be called a true example of sportsmanship. He played in more games than any other regular and was in the game all of the time. The coaches showed their appreciation by selecting him as running guard on the all-district second team. Bridges has played thr e years, but this was his last. LAWS—FORWARD (Height 5 ft. 8 in.; weight 135) Ike was the sen at ion of the team with his dribbling and uncanny ability to hit the ba Let at long range. He a; the small st man who reported for basket hall on the senior squad and he was very popular with the fans. He was selected as forward on the alldistrict team, and played an unusual game against Texarkana in the state tournament. 87 The Basket Ball Season Basket ball in Pine Bluff High School reached a higher level than ever before in the season which closed this spring. With both junior and senior basket hall teams winning state championships. Pine Bluff set an athletic record of hanging up championshps in both divisions for two successive years. The girls’ team attended the state tournament in Fayetteville for the first time and losing only one game, took third place. Pine Bluff took five road trips during the season. In former years road trips have proven rather fatal to Pine Bluff teams hut this season more games were won while away from home than were lost.

Playing 15 games and losing only one, the Junior Zebras scored 443 points to their opponents’ 187. The Juniors lost their only game on the opening of the season at Stuttgart. Later they defeated Stuttgart two games here. In the district meet Pine Bluff played Stuttgart for the championship of this district.

The coaches voted the senior tournament the best one ever held in the State. In this one, Pine Bluff carried off the honors with Jonesbo- ro as runner-up. The Zebras defeated Texarkana, Helena and Jonesboro by the scores of 18-17, 32-13, 22-16, respectively. The Juniors won their tournament by defeating Stuttgart, Texar- kana, and North Little Rock by the scores 23-12, 31 -18, and 32-19, respec- tively. The Zebras and Junior Zebras won the senior and junior divisions of the district meet. Crossett and Stuttgart were the runners-up in both. Roy Gentry, Zebra captain and center, was placed on the all-state first team, and Paul Capetron was placed on the second as captain and forward. This makes Gentry’s second year at All-state center. Edwin Alexander was voted all-state captain and forward for the junior division. He was given the same position and honor in the district meet. This is Alexander’s second year as an All-state man. Ilelvie and Jones also made the all-state first team while both of the Newbern boys and Johnson made the second all-state.

They met and defeated Rogers 68-14; Vaughn 35-15; Stuttgart 34-6. Going to the final round of the tournament Pine Bluff was defeated by the fast Ozark team, 20-9. The Ozark team later won the tournament, Pine Bluff taking third place. The girls were highly complimented for their excellent team work and fight by the assembled coaches. Two of the local team were selected for places on the All-state team. Helen Wynne was given the position as forward because she scored more points than any other player in the tournament. Maude White was given the center position for her playing ability. HELEN WYNNE—Forward Helen was one of the two girls from Pine Bluff that were placed on the All-state first team, the has played two years on the team and has one year left to play. She holds the state record for scoring the most points in one game, and she won unusual praise from coaches at the tournament. KATHERINE REYNOLDS—Forward Katherine had been coming out for basket ball several years before she was given a berth on the regulars. She made the basket ball team for three years and would have played another one if she had not moved to Shreveport. Hei passing to hei other team mate in the same position was the cause of many of the points that hei team made. Her place here is going to be hard to fill. ADELINA MERRICK—Center and Forward Adelina has played with the team for two years. For the first part of last season she played in the center position but on the removal of Katheiine Reynolds to Shreveport Miss Boyers changed her to forward. Besides being a star foi the Pine Bluff team she was elected forward on the All-state second team. She has two years more to play and much is expected from her. MAUDE WHITE—Center Maude returned to school near the end of the season and without as much as a day’s training or practice played in the position of center when one of the regulars was sick. She had played on the team two years. When one of the players moved away she came back to school. She still has a little time left to play for her school. Maude got a place on the All-state first team. MARCARET PRITCHARD—Center “Margie” was one of the hardest playing members of the team. She made the first team for two years and has one more left to play. She and her helper, the other center, kept a lot of work off the guards by not letting the ball get into the opponents’ territory. If she keeps improving her shooting she may have a chance for a forward position next year. MARY CORNMESSER—Guard Mary made a fine record this year for her ability to keep her opponents from scoiing. She has only played on the team one year and has two more to show the school how good she can play. FLORENCE TONEY—Guard and Center “Fiance” returned to Pine Bluff this year after an absence of two years, which she spent in another town with her parents. On returning she showed up so well that she was given a chance to play and on seeing that she had made good Miss Boyers gave her a place as a regular. Florence has two more years to play. ORA KELLY—Guard and Captain of the Team Besides being (hosen captain of the team for her sportsmanship Ora was undoubtedly the best guard on the Pine Bluff team. Not only was she a good basket ball player but she also had some talent as a baseball star. She has played on the team for two years and has one left to play. When she was sick during several of the games it was hard to find a substitute to play in her position. 96 The Season's Games Finishing a most successful season with nine games played and only one defeat, the Pine Bluff girls’ team well deserves the title of third best in the state. The girls scored 334 points to their opponents’ 113. With Ora Kelly playing in the guard position and serving as captain; Adelina Merrick as forward and side-center; Maude W7hite as center; Helen Wynne as forward; Florence Toney as guard; Margaret Pritchard as guard and side-center; and Katherine Reynolds as forward, the team was practically perfect. The team felt keenly the loss of Reynolds who moved away from town in the middle of the season. In a team of stars it is hard to pick the best. The entire team played well at all times. The selection of All-state must have been difficult. Pine Bluff placed two on the All-state team and could just have easily placed five.

Ozark 20 98 The Track Season Under the leadership of Paul Caperton this year’s track team promises to be one of the best in the state. Three men, Caperton, Talbot, and Mooney will form the nucleus around which the team will be built. The former two won letters in track last year and Mooney won the W. A. A. U. javilin throw. Over twenty-five men reported for track at the beginning of the training season. The men who are expected to form the Pine Bluff team are: For track, Duncan, L. Hutt, Gentry, J. Bain, Porter, Thompson, McCance, McGehee, Mclntire, Warriner, and Lake; for field events: Miller, Ramsay, Mooney, Gentry, and Duncan. The 1923 season was somewhat slow. Bad weather throughout the training period and a bad track were impediments in the development of the squad. The team lost the dual meet with Little Rock by the large score of 63 to 51, but Pine Bluff captured fifth place i nthe State meet. Caperton, Talbot, L. Hutt, Miller, Atkinson, Duncan, and Gentry fought splendidly to uphold the standaids of Pine Bluff. Jerry L. Patterson, head of the history department, and for the past two years assistant coach of track, will again be in charge of the track event men. However, Coach Hammons will have direct charge of the team. When the Annual went to press dual meets with Lonoke and Little Rock had been arranged by Coach Hammons. The Basketball Season With Coach Hammons’ promise to make baseball one of the major sports of the school and practically all of last year’s letter men out for practice, this year will see one of the greatest baseball seasons Pine Bluff High School has ever had. About seventy men reported on the first call, among whom were Gentry, Bridges, McGlone, Miller, Duncan, R. Lea and Agerton of last year’s letter men. A class baseball league, with two letter men on each team is being organized by Coach Hammons. Games will be played every day for about three weeks, when the squad was cut to the best players. A large schedule has been arranged for the regular season and Coach Hammons expects to create enough interest in this sport to make it pay rather than lose expenses. Duncan, Gentry, Lee, Caperton, Bridges, Mooney, Ramsay, Bellamy, Agerton, Laws, Miller, and McGlone will form the backbone of this year’s team. The only men on the team last year who are not back this season are: J. Murphy, C. Murphy, Witt and Kerr. Last year Pine Bluff tied with North Little Rock for the state championship. Adverse weather conditions prevented the two teams from meeting. As in track bad weather conditions impeded the training and the esason w s much too short to arouse much entheusiasm among the students. 103 The National Honor Society The second initiation of students into the Torch, the Pine Bluff Chapter of the National Honor Society, was held in May, with an impressive ceremony. 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. Membership is based on these things. Billy llutt and Frances Moore were initiated last year. The other members were initiated this year.

We wish to make special acknowledgment of thanks to Miss Pearl-Ray Cox for supervising the work of the Annual; to Mr. A. S. Burns for assisting the picture editoi: to Billy Hutt and Hudson Smatt for assisting the athletic editor; and to Miss Mabel Heard for her suggestions to the joke and the class editors. 10G 107 The Pine Cone The Pine Cone was edited this year by the journalism class under the direction of Miss Pearl Hay Cox. All reporters and members of the staff, with the exception of Walter Davis, the assistant manager, were members of the class. The staff will publish twenty-six issues of the paper this year. On March sixth a Scandal Sheet was issued. This issue was sold on the streets near the school and to the business men. Since February 17 the Pine Cone Staff and reporters have been issuing a School Page in the Sunday editions of the Graphic. This page contains news of the two high schools and of the seven grade schools of the city. It was commended by P. R. Stevenson of the University of Ohio, and was placed on display during the educational conference held there in Apiil. EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-Chief Managing Editor News Editor .....

Major breaches of discipline are tried by the Council. In the four years of the Council’s existence in Pine Bluff High School it has secured better obedience to school laws, has practically stopped smoking at the stores and disobedience of the rules concerning conduct on the school grounds, and has instilled a new spirit in the student body. The “Safe and Sane” Hallowe’en in this city is directly due to the Council's activities this and last year. This act alone merits its organization. u_________________________________________________________________________________________________-j_ in Debating Due to a belief on the part of those in authority that the art of debating should be more thoroughly developed in Pine Bluff High School that she may he first in oratorical achievements as well as in athletics, a full five-hour semester course was given to the study of the art this year. Every member of the class was a member of the Webster Debating Society. The class was under the direction of Jerry L. Patterson, faculty sponsor of the debating society. During the first half of the school term four members of the debating class appeared in debate before the High School assembly. The subject for debate was that of the abolition of capital punishment. The debaters were: Affirmative, Helen Brooks and Jack Cone: Negative, Weldon Spears and Mason Young. This debate clearly demonstrated the fact that something had already been accomplished by the club and the class, each of which had as its purpose the development of skill in debate and public speaking. The zenith of achievements in debate for the year 1924 was reached when, as a result of persistent rk in the Club and in class, and of special preparation on the outside, Weldon Spears and Mason Young, representing the affirmative, and Mosley Cross and Creed Caldwell, representing the negative won a double victory in the dual debate with Little Rock High School. The question was “Resolved That the United States Should Become a Party to the Permanent International Court of Justice According to the Hughes-IIarding Plan.’’ Quay Lyle and Ike Laws were alternates in this debate and Jerry L. Patterson coached the teams. It is hoped and expected that further progress in debate will be made in the future and that this very educational and beneficial scholastic art will soon become one of the major activities of the Pine Bluff High School. 112 The Webster Debating Society One of the strongest assets that any school can have is a wideawake debating club. The Webster Debating Club was organized in the autumn of 1921. Meetings were held at night in the local Y. M. C. A. with Galbraith Gould as the first president. The membership at the time of organization was ten. Now the meetings are held at the High School, and there are thirty active members, two of which are girls. In the past the club has competed with teams from some of the best schools in the state—DeWitt, Stuttgart, and Little Rock. The members are: Tom Agerton, Tom Atkinson, Carlyle Beauchamp, Jesse Bogy, Harry Bowden, Helen Brooks, Harry Brown, Creed Caldwell, Havis Capel, Jack Cone, Mosley Cross, Leon Dellmon, Jack Diamond, Robert Drake, J. C. Harrell, Ike Laws, Quay Lyle, Asa McCain, Mason Young, Tom McGehee, Harold Norris, Irene Nichols, Jefferson Owens, Orville Porter, Eric Ragan, Weldon Spears, Chester Taylor, Ben Thalheimer, and Louis Vick. 113 The Blackfriars The Blackfriars Dramatic Club was organized in 1922 under the leadership of Miss Pearl Burks. Its name was derived from the old Shakespearian play house, “The Black Friars.” Increasing in membership the Club now has an enrollment of sixty-five and ranks as the largest club in school. The object of the Club is to study drama that the members may obtain a better and fuller understanding of it. The Club’s annual play, “She Stoops to Conquer,” was produced the night of December 14, under the supervision of Miss Pearl Burks. Under the direction of Mrs. Russel Hollis, the sponsor for the second semester, the Club produced several one-act plays during the spring term. BLACKFRIARS DRAMATIC CLUB The Mask and Wig Club The Mask and Wig Dramatic Club was organized in September, 1922, with Miss Ellice Breathwit as sponsor. Jay Witt was the president of the Club and after a long and faithful term of office was succeeded, when he moved to Illinois, by Ella Hunn Howell. Other officers at present are: Rosalea Boone, vice-president; Vida Mae Holderness, secretary; Frances Coleman, treasurer, and Elizabeth McLeod, press correspondent. A thorough study of dramatics and the practice of extemporaneous speaking have composed the most important features of the work. A number of plays have been given during the regular assembly hour. The audience was greatly pleased when Gene Mooney displayed his dramatic ability on several occasions. Rex Ramsay delighted them equally as well with his interpretation of a burglar; and the girls have all concluded that Jay Witt would make a model husband for any member of the fair sex. Pine Bluff High will always remember Ella Hunn Howell’s excellent work in “Who Kissed Barbara!” Mona Carnahan’s interpretation of the maiden aunt in “Aunt Abigail and the Boys,” and Frances Coleman’s part in “Who's a Coward?” Mask and Wig Dramatic Club The Orchestra The orchestra was organized in 1922 under the direction of Professor J. H. Hoffnagle. Mrs. Judith Major is honorary sponsor of the organization. The members participated in the State literary meet of 1923, and won second place. A concert was given by the orchestra in the latter part of April. 1924. MEMBERS J. H.

Herman Hoffnagle with only fifteen members, and first appeared on the bleachers furnishing music for the football games.

George Hartung 139 The All - School Eleven In selecting such a group the difficulty lies not in finding many students who have been outstanding, but in deciding which of them are most worthy of a place on an Allschool team. It was decided that the group, to be truly representative of the school, should include the names of students who were the most prominent. BILLY HUTT—Service (captain) Billy Hutt was named by the Principal and by the faculty advisor of the Student Council as the student who had given most liberally of his time and talent in service of the school. He was also selected by the advisor for the Pine Cone as the member of the staff who had done most to make it a success. Billy’s ability in conducting assemblies, in selling tickets for the football games, in handling the tournaments, and in financing the Pine Cone is well-known as are his scholarship and character. ELSIE MILLER—Service Elsie Miller was chosen for the place because she has been of outstanding service in four fields, and is a student whose character and scholarship are unusual. As a member of the Pine Cone staff Elsie could always be depended upon to write the difficult story; as a member of the Zebra staff she did her own work and some of that of other staff members; a member of the Girls’ Quaratette she represented our school at Conway; and as a student gave her vacant periods in assisting in the library. JEFFERSON OWENS—Scholarship In selecting the representative for this field it was thought that the student named should, if possible, be a member of the senior class because the one chosen should have proved his worth over a period of four years. The selection of Jefferson Owens for the place will be no surprise to the student body. ROY GENTRY—Student Leadership No faculty member was consulted in the selection of Roy. but the voice of the student body. As president of his own class for the past three years, as the most popular and best all-around boy in the senior Who’s Who Contest, as vice-president of the student council he has shown his power to lead. MONA CARNAHAN—Student Leadership If a girl is to be selected by popular vote to represent the school in any capacity, Mona is always nominated and always elected. Her selection is based on this fact, and the additional one that her popularity depends upon merit as attested by the fact that she is a member of the National Honor Society, manager for the girls’ basket ball team, and business manager of the Zebra. FRANCES COLEMAN—Student Publications Frances was elected picture editor of the Zebra. It was her duty to see that all pictures were taken, checked, arranged, and sent to the engraver. She did all of her own work, and found time to assist several other members of the staff in their duties. The success of the Zebra is largely due to her untiring efforts and enthusiasm. MASON YOUNG—Debate The students know Mason’s worth. He is a debater of unusual ability and faithfulness. He was selected in April by the Civitan Club as the best of Pine Bluff's four debater. He is also an able student. CLAUDE HOSKINS—Music As concert meister and soloist for the orchestra, and as a member of the band, Claude is probably the most outstanding student of music Pine Bluff has had in several years. He always gives his talents to the school for any program. HELEN WYNNE—Girls’ Athletics Helen Wynne, all-state forward in basket ball, was named by Coach Boyers as the most outstanding figure in girls’ athietics. Helen is not only a star on the basket ball court but excells in gymnastics. LOEB DUNCAN—Boys’ Athletics Coach Foy H. Hammons refused to name the most outstanding figure in boys’ athletics, but named four Rex Ramsay, Roy Gentry, Loeb Duncan, and Paul Caperton. What were we to do? The coach is to be congratulated for he placed three of his four men on the all-school eleven! Loeb Duncan, football, baseball, and track man was chosen to represent the school in athletics. REX RAMSAY—Pep Though Rex Ramsay is given a place for pep, his selection is probably based indirectly on his ability as an athlete. Actions speak louder than words, and Rex’s success in arousing enthusiasm when he is asked “to say a few words’ is due to the fact that he can act as well as talk. 140 141 142 edtures ■------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FRED VINING 502 Main Street Phone 3377 LADIES, MISSES AND CHILDRENS SNAPPY READY-TO-WEAR Art Goods, Novelties and Notions Motto:—Best Goods at Reasonable Prices Rex: “You know flirting with girls is just like a game of football.’’ Rosalea: “How’s that?” Rex: “If you have a good line you can hold them.” Fresh: “What do you mean by experience?” Senior: “Oh, experience is what you get while you are looking for something else.” While Traveling the Hoad TO SUCCESS What if the rain does spoil that outing you had planned.

That’s about all. The greater part of the plant and of the force you don’t see. You can obtain electricity, water and street car transportation only because there are many miles of wire and pipe connecting your home with the power plant; because car tracks pierce every section of the city; because there is equipment of boilers, generators, pumps, costing huge sums; because there are men on the job night and day to maintain service. More than 250 Pine Bluff people are partners in the ownership; about 150 Pine Bluff citizens are on the payroll; our tax s last year amounted to $52,414.23.

His position was not won over night; it was earned by attention to minor things. Honest effort in the doing of the little, unsung, unnoticed acts is what builds up real ability. One may have natural ability along some line of expression, but without persistent practice in the technique of that mode of expression he will not become master of it. The deciding factor in a man’s life, whether he is a success or whether he is a failure, is his use of the quality of persistency. He may have opportunity, ability, personal charm, and everything else may be in his favor, but if he is one whose temperament is unstable, whose interest flits from one thing to another, so that he does not persist long enough at anything to do it well, he will be a failure. Friends, influence, opportunity and talent cannot make a man a real success; but if he has the disposition to persist in his undertakings he will make the opportunity and unfold the talent and attract the friends and become a great influence. The man who fluctuates, who builds one air castle after another but takes no steps to objectify them in the material world, gives nothing of any value to his fellows.

YOU WANT PERFECT FLOORS Whether you are building a new home or live in an old one, you would like to have perfect floors—floors that are beautiful, durable and which require a minimum of attention—floors which harmonize with any scheme of interior decoration—floors of beautiful oak. It’s easy to have such floors, and they are not expensive—in fact, when one considers their long-lasting qualities and the labor they save, they are less expensive than any other kind. The way to have perfect floors is to specify Long-Bell oak flooring for your new home, or, if you live in an old home, lay Long-Bell oak flooring right over the old floors. Because of its beauty, the exceptional care taken in its manufacture and handling, and the service it renders, it has been called the “Perfect Floor.” Go to your lumber dealer and see it, and ask him to tell you just what it will cost to have it in your home, or to lay over your old floors.
