Pine Bluff High School - Zebra Yearbook (Pine Bluff, AR)

Text from Pages 1 - 62 of the 1932 volume:

THE 1932 Published by THE SENIOR CLASS Junius Jordan High School Pin Bluff, Arkansas Engraved by HANSON Lilli Rock, Arkansas Printed by SMITH Pine Bluff, Arkansas (Yearbookf..... We dedicate this book, The Zebra for 1932, to the colors and the courage and clean sportsmanship which they exemplify. Colors olors have been in use as symbols since remotest antiquity. They have always been conspicuous in the past for their great moral as well The older and more historic the colors were, the greater their moral value; for contestants would vie with each other in maintaining their traditions and in adding to their glory. In practice they were the rallying point of the organization. Thus, in Pine Bluff High School when we are loyal to the red and the white, we are loyal to our school, for they symbolize the affection we have for this institution. For thirty-five years red and white have been our school colors. It was back in 1897 that red and white were adopted as the colors of P. B. H. S. They were primarily selected to identify the high school boys and girls as they marched at the State fairs, which were then held in Pine Bluff. The colors were first worn by the girls of the class of '97, but not on their arms as we do now. Then the girls wore spotless white dresses and carried red roses, and now thirty five years later, because the students of each passing year have upheld these colors, they remain as unsullied as they did so long ago. The color red stands for love, and white stands for purity. Certainly we could not wish to have our colors symbolized in any sweeter or more beautiful words than love and purity. Everyone loves his school, and that is why red is so appropriate. Also every student wishes all our school sports and contests as well as school work and all our activities to be on the highest plane of fairness and honesty and to keep the purity of our school unimpaired. Since that is true, there could be no more fitting color to accompany red, than white. All the basketball, football, and debating teams as well as every student who has attended the school since the colors were adopted have done everything possible always to carry the colors to victory. This is true because all of them have loved the school, yet no one has ever put victory above fairness. When we win, we win because we played the best game and deserved to be the conquerors. On the football field we decorate the stands with red and white; we unfurl a red and white flag; and we wear red and white ribbons. Thus our colors are interwoven in our school life. Therefore, this year we have chosen colors as the theme of the Zebra, and we wish here to dedicate our book to the school colors and not only to those who have fought for them on the athletic field and in active competition but also to those who have fought for them by doing their such a manner as to uphold our colors and bring glory to our school. The red and the white! Long may they wave! as practical value. In our present day, colors still hold their high place and significance in armies, navies, schools, and nations. Just as when knighthood wus in flower and knights carried the colors of their favorite lady into battle, so today the modern warriors of the gridiron and basketball court wear their colors into battle. They also wear their stripes on their arms to show how many years they have fought to gain honor for the colors and the school. We rally to our colors. They are a symbol of our loyalty. We wish them to wave ever valiantly in the breeze. everyday work in A Pi� c Three Page Four GEORGE BRANCH JAMES CHESLEY MARTIN October 29, 1931 November 30, 1931 Since the last edition of The Zebra, the Great Editor has written the symbolic “30 , marking the close of two life stories in Pine Bluff High School. One life had largely run its alloted course; the other was just be-ginning. The editorial staff of the Zebra recognizes the worth of George Branch, custodian of the school, and James Chesley Martin, a member of the senior class, their re-spective places of usefulness in the school, and the loss experienced by all of us at their going. These thoughts, quickening a sense of appreciation, prompt the dedication of this page in our annual to their memory. Page Five Student Council The purpose of the Student Council, as set forth in its constitution, is to secure, by every means in its power, gentlemanly conduct and thoughtful observance of school regulations on the part of the student body, and to promote harmonious relations between teachers and pupils, and among the students themselves. The Student Council is under the sponsorship of Jerry L. Patterson. This year Sam Ryland is president; Janet Speers, vice-president; and Juliet Speers, secretary. Early last fall handbooks were distributed. These are filled with information about Pine Bluff High School and arc especially valuable to new pupils. To increase attendance at the football games, the Student Council organized several parades. Both cash prizes and free tickets were given for the best decorated cars. In order to encourage the support of the basketball team, the Student Council sold a special season ticket. It also suggested to each home room that one home room program be devoted to a discussion of sportsmanship and sportsmanlike conduct to visiting teams. The Student Council has organized and given publicity to movements aimed to prevent whistling and running in the halls, parking in cars during the noon period, poor conduct in assemblies, and smoking within a block of school. The members are selected on a basis of scholarship, leadership, and active work in the various student activities. The influence of the members of the Student Council in the class rooms and on the grounds has been of inestimable value in developing a spirit of thoughtful observance of school regulations” on the part of the student body. Although many of its members will pass to greater honors the work of the Student Council will go forward. Top Row: Locke, Taylor, Bridges, Speers, Hirt, Owen, Cutrell, Makris Second Row: H.

Miss Nannie May Roney, English head, cooperating with Miss Bertha White, Miss Jose-phinc Martin, and Mrs. E. D. Russell, the other instructors of this subject, has made efforts to extend English usage to classes other than English classes. Mrs. Robert Chapman, librarian, has added a shelf on vocations to her department. The home economics sections, headed by Mrs. T. J. Blewster, is now offering only three units of work, in which as much is accomplished as was formerly in six. More stress is laid on current topics in social science than ever before. J. L. Patterson, Miss Anna Gantt, and Miss Gussic Carmical are the instructors. Every person is responsible for his work in science, taught by B. L. Corn-messer and Curtis Love. According to the plan followed each problem rates a certain number of points. To H. F. Dial, the school principal, goes the credit for an experiment made last year in mathmatics, of which department J. B. Bassett is head and Miss Bernice Conard and Alfred Lile, assistants. The experiment was conducted in two geometry classes of Miss Conard. The method gives a comparison between the contract method and the traditional type of study. Changes in commerce are few; nevertheless, progress goes on. A. S. Hendon and Miss Grace Bruton instruct in this subject. The head of the Latin department, H. M. Elder, imparts to us knowledge of Caesar and Virgil, while Miss Mary Toney conducts the French and Spanish classes. French students make posters of life, customs, and scenery. Mrs. Z. McCammon, study hall supervisor, Allan Dunaway, coach, L. W. Jones and H. H. Grauman, manual training teachers, complete the faculty. Top Row: Lyle, Carmical, Grauman. Second Row: Roney, Bassett, McCammon. Third Row: Cornmesscr, Dunaway, Conard, Dial. Fourth Row: Bruton, Jones, Chapman, Love, Patterson. Fifth Row: Gantt, Martin, White, Elder, Blewster, Toney.

Others on the Zebra staff who became members are; Sylvia Ehrenberg, Jack Eisenkramer, Joe Evans, Carl King, Mary Kovac, Robert Loving, Monica Pogue, and Marian Taylor.

The society now has over seven hundred chapters, and over twelve thousand young journalists wear the badge of the society. In order to become a member of the society, one must be in the upper third of his class in general scholastic standing at the time of his election; must have done distinctive work in some phase of journalistic or creative endeavor: must be recommended by the supervisor of journalism; and must be approved by the national secretary-treasurer.

Page Twenty-One Last Will and Testament To those whom it may or may not concern: We, the Senior Class of 1932 of Pine Bluff High School, Pine Bluff, Arkansas, having arrived at this revered position because our teachers, tired of looking at our bright and dirty faces, passed us; and being completely insane and out of our weak minds, we do hereby bequeath to those who linger those things which, being unable to take along, we had just as well give away. As it is customary to will something to the faculty, we, the entire class, after little concentration, do bestow upon them the chewing gum that we have so regretfully placed under the desks, on condition that they do not chew it. Sylvia Ehrenberg, with the greatest sincerity, leaves to Josephine Lawton her craving for knowledge, admonishing Jody not to suffer a nervous breakdown from over-work Sorrowfully William Cunningham leaves his ability to inveigle the fairer sex to Edgar Pledger, although he realizes that his record for conquests can never be equaled. I, Billy Coles, do will my great athletic ability to my little shadow Red Davis, in order that I may be sure it is carried on. Collins Andrews, after much thought, weepingly leaves Wanda, whom he considers quite enough. Having left so much in previous years. Burns Bennett feels as though he has nothing left to give away. Joe Barry Mullins has not decided whether to leave Cutes or not. With much thought Christine Kientz leaves his musical talent to his faithful understudy, Niven Clegg. Hollis Harrison reluctantly bestows his speaking ability on one Abraham Bram, whose talent has already rocked the school. Carrie Mae Norton, after a year's experience at ad solicting gives to the library a long thesis on How to Make Your First Million.” Wishing to have the cinders dusted in future years, Johnny Wilson requests James Ross to carry on. I, Clay Blevins Yoe, Jr., do yield part of my abundant supply of Scotch instincts to Reeves Ritchie, who already has a goodly share, and to Richard Bunn do 1 will my melodious tenor. To Joe David Dietrich is given the rare speaking and debating ability of Eugene Wiley, who goes to wider fields. Joe Evans leaves his many and varied student offices to the best man, but considers himself the best man as far as Negie Lee is concerned. After lengthy deliberation, McFcr-rin Fergusson refuse to bestow his title of “Best Looking Boy upon anyone, feeling as though no one else could grace the position as can he. Floyd Jarvis leaves to “little brother”, Campbell, his desire of breaking the yearbook by pushing the little knob on the camera to hear the click. Just to be different, Harvey Gillespie takes with him the longing glances of the feminine portion of the school, leaving only a string of broken hearts. The ability to pester Miss Toney is conferred by Sterling Clark upon someone else who doesn't know his lesson. One large black pencil is all that Sue English will relinquish, and that to the next Editor-in-chief of the Pine Cone, challenging that august person to try to use it more than has Sweet” Sue. Feeling as though he has many a-bilities to spare, Simon Sherman places upon Siegfried Johnson his natural ability to make a clarinet squeak. Harold Davis is made the proud possessor of the quick, jumpy little mannerisms of fast-moving Vernon Green. The cast of the Senior Play leave their names on the scenery on the stage. Dorothy Rule bequeaths her nose for powder” to Martha Bent Goodloe, who has already shown signs of being Page Twenty-Two of the Senior Class particularly fit to qualify for this ex-halted gift, but refuses to furnish the powder. We, Marvin Solomon and C. W. Shoptaw, bestow upon Jesse Reed and Cecil McGibbony our marvelous talent of being able to sleep in study hall. The graduating members of the band will the bulging walls that the resonant blasts of their instruments have pushed out to those distracted teachers whose rooms are above the band room. J. W. Segars confers his ability to make that peculiar ho-ho-ho-ho laugh to the next Business Manager of the Pine Cone in hopes that his successor can agonize Miss White even more than he has been able to do. The Color Guard, after long and lengthy concentration, find that the best thing for them to do is to leave their uniforms, horns, and tired and aching muscles, to the next crew, hoping that they, the next ones, will prove to be as successful as they have been in holding a horn. To his artful successor, L. C. Clifford, Royce Locke yields his melodious discords on the cornet. Juliet Speers bestows upon Julia Peterson the desire for a Hewitt, feeling as though the brand speaks for itself. Not to be out done, Janet Speers confers upon Anne Brown Taylor her like of trying every brand. Lynne Crutcher wills to Richard Pettigrew- her love of Spanish, hoping that he may be as successful in it as she has been. To Ahnece Jones goes the wonderful acting ability of Christine Formby. Garland Brewster is requested by Jack Eisenkramer to continue the latter's musical career by lightly strumming cords on the piano. Ruby Campbell is left the title of Most Bashful Girl by Myra Bridges. Sam Ryland awards his many honors and titles to whoever can get the votes. Billy Priakos is made the proud possessor of the talkative ways of Robert Loving. Edwin Hill benignantly leaves his spirit in the Pine Cone room, firmly believing that some part of him must be present to make the paper a success. Little Betty Strickland presents to Hermine Maas her honey-like speech and sweet disposition.

Gladys Hilburn wills her great longing to play with dolls to Mary Alexander. Marian Taylor wanted cither to stay in school or else leave her spirit, but by unanimous vote of the Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman classes along with the faculty, both gifts Were rejected. To Billy Hill goes the wonderful ability of John Babb to inveigle the teachers into giving him A's. Mary Elizabeth Dowd leaves her much envied position of being secretary to Professor “Don Juan” Martin to some other good looking girl. And then there is Judson Shaw who leaves, and is glad of it. In testimony whereof, I, the undersigned, with no authority whatsoever, and in complete and absolute secrecy, do declare this the Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of 1932, and fearfully attach my name. Ralph Mitchell. Page Twenty-Three The Senior Play Under the direction of ■ js'jl Mrs. George V. Beall, the senior play, “Some Baby,” was prc-sented early in April. . This rollicking farce was a tremendous favorite. It tells the story of Professor Relyea and his pupil, who are attempting to find the Elixir of Youth. Experiments on an old dog convince them that they have succeeded, and they look around for a human subject. An old General is selected to try the Elixir. During their absence, the General spills the Elixir and leaves the house. A Spanish woman now enters and leaves her baby on the sofa where the General was last seen sitting. The scientists return and immediately jump to the conclusion that the General has become an infant. The scientists, wildly enthusiastic, prepare to advertise their wonderful discovery. On consulting a lawyer, they find that they may be charged with a number of crimes for giving the Elixir, so they try to keep their discovery quiet. At this point, the Professor’s daughter, who is taking care of a neigh- bor's baby, comes into possession of a bottle of the precious fluid. She suddenly disappears, leaving the empty bottle and the baby behind. The scientists jump to the conclusion that the daughter has been transformed. The ghosts of two lovers return in wedding costume to haunt the scientists, who, when not taking care of the babies, spend their time in dodging the family, the police, and the irate neighbors. The leading roles were taken by Christine Formby and Clay B. Yoe. Billy Coles had the amusing role of Professor Relyea. Other members of the cast as they appeared were: Mrs. Wellsmiller, Myra Bridges; General Henry Burbeck, Ralph Mitchell; Marcella Burbeck, his daughter-in-law, Juliet Speers; Mrs. Vivert, a neighbor, Monica Pogue; Mrs. Henderson, her grandmother, Adaline Kerr; Lucille Norton, a neighbor, Lynne Crutcher; Judge Sanderson, Sam Ryland; Sheriff Johnson, Judson Shaw; and Deputy Sheriff Stoker, Hollis Harrison.

Page Twenty-Four National Honor Society On April 1 twenty-four members of the senior class of '32 were elected to membership in the National Honor Society by H. F. Dial, principal, and a committee of teachers. Those who were selected for this honor are as follows: Eugenia Ammons, John Babb, Beatrice Briley, Ralph Cloar, Jack Eisenkramer, Sylvia Ehrenberg, Sue English, Joe Evans, John Gannaway, Harvey Gillespie, John Gillespie, Alfred Hirt, Margaret Hirt, Helen Hogg, Mildred Howell, Mary Kovac, Edwin Kueck, Melva Little, Robert Loving, Billy McDonald, Ralph Mitchell, Janet Speers, Juliet Speers, Judson Shaw, Eugene Wiley. In order to be eligible for membership in this organization, one must rank in the upper third of his class in scholarship; he must have attended this school at least two semesters; he must be conspicuous or outstanding in leadership, and intellectual achievement or service; he must be loyal to high ideals, and have nobility of character. In other words, scholarship, service, leadership, and character are the things on which the consideration is made when a student is being selected to become a part of this national organization. Not more than fifteen per cent of the graduating class can become members. The purpose of the National Honor Society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of American high schools. As has been stated scholarship is a requirement, but not the only one. The remaining ones are: service, leadership, and character. The initiation of the new members will be held Thursday, April 28, in the Senior Assembly. The ceremony will be in charge of Hugo Gulpcpper, assisted by John McLeod, Stacy Wiley, Lo-ranne Dubose, Hardy Kilgore, Beth Wilson, and Mildred McIntyre. Top Row: Kucck, J. Gillespie.

Patterson, the other members developed rapidly. This year the team has been very successful. Eugene Wiley and Billy McDonald, seniors, took the affirmative of the question: “Resolved: That the Several States Should Enact Legislation Providing for Compulsory Unemployment Insurance. Helen Hutt, junior and Joe Evans, senior, had the negative side of the question. Frances Perry, Edith Wharton, Reggie Eilbott, and Richard Petticrew were alternates. The first scheduled debate of the season, with Magnolia, had to be cancelled because of the illness of three members of the team. The second debate was a tie. Helen and Joe, participating in a formal debate for the first time and speaking before the assembly, lost to the Fordyce affirmative 3-0. Although this, too, was Billy's first experience in formal debate, the affirmative, debating at Fordyce won the decision 3-0. Pine Bluff made a clean sweep of the debate with Greenville, Mississippi, both sides winning 3-0. Miss Car-mical accompanied the negative to Greenville because Mr. Patterson ' was too ill to make the trip. The third debate, with Monticello, was the hardest of the season. It, too, was a tie. The affirmative won its half 2-1, and the negative lost by the same score. Again the negative made the trip. A debate with Little Rock has been scheduled for April 13th. Both teams will speak at Little Rock. On April 15 and 16th the team will enter the triangular debates at Fayetteville. This year Reggie Eilbott will represent Pine Bluff in the extemporaneous speaking contest at Fayetteville. In the district contest at Stuttgart and, if successful in the district, in the state contest at Conway, Helen Hutt and Eugene Wiley will represent Pine Bluff in the individual debates. Eugene Wiley will also represent the school in declamation at Stuttgart. Top Row: Wiley, Hutt, Eilbott, Evans. Second R o w: McDonald, Wharton, Petticrew, Perry.

This year the leader of this noble cause was editor-in-chief, Marian Taylor, assisted by Robert Loving, and advised by Miss Josephine Martin. The problem of making both ends meet rested upon business manager Joe Evans and associate Jack Eiscnkramcr. The means by which this problem was accomplished was supplied by Lynne Crutcher and Gladys Hilburn, who chased the ads. Here we wish to express our gratitude to those business men who succumbed under the ad-chasers' entreaties. To balance the sad appearance of some of the faces in the senior pictures. Monica Pogue, Christian Kientz, and Burns Bennett supplied the unkind remarks under each name. They may also be held responsible for the features garnishing our annual. Billy Coles was called upon to manage a good appearance for the annual this year. It is up to the reader to decide if he succeeded. As make-up editor, Billy mounted all the snapshots Sylvia Ehrenbcrg and Neil Ferguson, assisted by Edith Wharton, junior, gave the book its portraits and drawings. Now you know whom to ask if you fail to recognize any portrait. Activity editors this year were Bil-1 ■ McDonald and Mary Kovac. Myra Bridges and Carl King were class editors. Please have them explain any errors in the activities of the graduates. Lurline Condray was typist. The reader has both Burns Bennett and Delbert Cutrell to thank for the sports writings. Alfred Hirt and Floyd Jarvis supplied the annual with as many pictures as Miss Martin would allow them to take. They and not the editors were responsible for the hazy snapshots. The annual staff sincerely hopes that the seniors will be pleased by this yearbook. Top Row: Ferguson, Jarvis, Eisenkramer, Bennett, Loving, Pogue, Ehrenbcrg. Second Row: McDonald.

This recalls its younger days back in 1919, when Sam Steele was its first editor-in-chief and it had only four columns, two of which were ads. The Pine Cone, which was thirteen years old December 19, 1931, is published by journalism students, who are taught by Miss Bertha White. The paper is a member of the National Scholastic Press Association, and is a member of the Quill and Scroll. The members of the Pine Cone staff this year number twenty-nine instead of the usual thirty. From time to time during the year they have entered the various group contests and have had their names placed on the honor roll of the society, and also of the High School Press Association. Positions held by members of the staff are as follows: Sue English, editor-in-chief; Sterling Clark, associate editor; Harvey Gillespie, business manager; J. W. Segars, associate business manager; Carrie Mae Norton, advertising manager; Judson Shaw and Eugene Wiley are editorial writers; Juanita Jones is news editor; Claude Curlin and Edwin Hill are make-up editors; Dorothy Rule and Janet Speers are feature editors; Ralph Mitchell is boys' sports writer; Helen Hilton, girls' sports; Adaline Kerr, exchange; Jane Glasscock, alumni; Reporters are: Dorthye Harris, Beatrice Briley, Mildred Cady, Mary Elizabeth Dowd, Helen Hogg, LaVonne Quinn, and Betty Strickland.

H. Hoffnagle. The next year the local Rotary Club adopted it and supplied the members with uniforms. Since that time the membership has been steadily on the increase. Now, under the leadership of Roy M. Martin, who has been here as director the last three years, there are fifty-four members in uniform, not including the second band. Last year the band won second place at the state meet, losing only to Little Rock. Among the soloists Joe Barry Mullins won first place on the snare drum. Several other members of the band placed second in the various contests. As a result of the second place win, the band was taken to the national contest at Tulsa, Oklahoma, where it won, in marching, second place in the preliminaries and third place in the final exhibition. Here Ralph Mitchell tied for the title of all-American drum-major. This year for the first time the girl color guard was introduced as part of the marching personnel. It is thought to be the only one of its kind in the United States. This innovation adds much to the appearance and effectiveness of the band on the march. The uniforms are red and white copied after the West Point Military Academy full dress uniforms. The four girls comprising it are Marian Taylor, Juliet Speers, and Dorothy Anne Sen-yard, seniors, and Margaret Boswell junior, who, with the two regular flag-carrying members of the band, make up the complete color guard. On April 15 and 16 the state band meet was held in Pine Bluff. Twenty-two bands entered.

Core the Glee Clubs are going to present early in April a musical comedy, The Belle of Barcelona, by Charles Ross Chaney. In the Boys' Glee Club, James Bumpass is president and Robert Fcarrington, secretary. Betty Strickland is president of the Girls' Glee Club and Dorothy Shipp is secretary. The Boys' Glee Club uses four part music, while the Girls' Club uses three-part music. The quartette is composed of James Bumpass, first tenor; Joe Evans, second tenor; Lewis Duncan, baritone; and Richard Bunn, bass. This year's trio is as follows: Mary Roland, first soprano; Carrie Mae Norton, second soprano; and Nell Hearn, alto. The whole club will take part in the district meet. In addition to this the club plans to sing annually for commencement Sunday. In the individual voice contests, Mary Roland and James Bumpass will represent the school. Billy Priakos will be our representative in violin this year. Sylvia Ehrenberg is the contestant in piano. The orchestra was organized in 1913. Two years later J. H. Hoffnagle took over the direction and has held this position for about nineteen years. Today the Orchestral Department of the school consists of an orchestra club of sixty members, a contest orchestra of thirty-five members, a senior orchestra of fifteen members which plays in senior assembly every Thursday, and a Junior orchestra of fifteen which plays for the junior assembly. The contest orchestra, of which Billy Priakos is concert meister, Charles Chalfant, first trumpet, and Dorothy Douglas, first pianist, has won the championship of the state for the past two years. A daily practice period has been assigned, and a novelty orchestra of fifteen girls has been installed. These girls play popular numbers for various social functions, and they are a complement to our regular orchestra at numerous gala occasions. The second and Junior High bands necessarily were organized as the original band grew. It cannot be said that members of these bands are such because they lack ability to play in the first band; for this year the two were more successful than the first, winning second and first places respectively in their separate divisions. They did not enter the marching contest. Two of the members of the Junior band won first places in the solo contests. They were Fred Moore, cornet; and Albert Railsback, alto saxa-phone. Several others placed second. In order to introduce the contestants going to Stuttgart, and possibly to Conway, to the school in a musical sense, they will have charge of a special assembly April 29.

If a student has a talent in music, speaking, or singing, he can find a club in which to show it. The Webster Debating Club, the two glee clubs, and the Orchestra Club give him a chance to make good. If the student is a girl, she will have several clubs to choose from in which only girls are enrolled. One of these is the Arts and Crafts Club, where gifts are made. Two Girl Reserve Clubs are open to her. The Mary Schwartz Rose Club will interest the Home Economics student. Rendering service is the main idea of the Service Club. For the boys there are four clubs open: the Outdoor America, the Agassiz Science Club, and the two athletic clubs. There arc many clubs open to both boys and girls. The art student will find pleasure in the Apollo Club, where the works of famous painters and sculptors are studied. The student interested in acting will find two dramatic clubs, the Uptopia Dramatic Club and the Marionettes. To the student who desires to study commercial works out of school hours the Shorthand and Typewriting Club and the Commercial Club are open. The French club, Le Cercle Francais, affords all French students a chance to assemble once a week and discuss France and her customs. To create friendliness is the object of the Social Hour Club. Two chess clubs afford the students a chance to learn or to practice chess. The Pine Bluff Science Club gives students an opportunity t o discuss science. If one is presi- dent of his home room, he is enrolled in the newly organized Presidents’ Club. This club, sponsored by J. B. Bassett, mathematics instructor, was organized so that the presidents could learn more about parliamentary law. Also, if the principal has anything to bring up before the home rooms, he can bring it up in the club and the presidents can take his message to the home rooms. The club has already performed some very helpful acts for the general welfare of the school and has planned several more which will be carried out in the near future. The most notable project already performed by the Presidents’ Club was a contest between the home rooms, in which the appearance of the room counted heavily. This contest was won by Miss Grace Bruton’s home room, which received a half holiday and a plaque to hang in the room. Members of the Presidents’ Club first semester were J. W. Segars, Minor Woodward, Janet Speers, Joe Evans, Harold Davis, Monica Pogue, Frances Roebuck, Karl Keller, Richard Bunn, Edith Wharton, Frances Allen, Leicester Shelby, Billy Priakos, Robert Brown, John Babb, Mack Evans, Sidney Hines, Jack Currie, Delbert Cutrell, and Vernon Green. Second semester members were Sam Ryland, Janet Speers, Monica Pogue, Gail McCammon, Hermine Maas, Grover Gardner, Jim Wright, Harold Davis, Bob Eiland, Jess Gilmore, Hubert Pittman, Billy Coles, Billy Priakos, Law-son Bobbitt, Waple Langston, Hugh Humphries, Leicester Shelby, Campbell Jarvis, Donald Lee, and Thomas R y-land. Sam Ryland 4 J. W. Segars I'ajc Thirty-Nine Football This year at football camp Hollis Harrison was chosen by his fellow teamsmcn to general the 1932 edition of the striped Mule. Delbert Cutrell, a veteran of four years' service, was selected to assist Captain Harrison. After ten days of strenuous preparation the Zebras made their debut against a fighting team from Benton, Arkansas. The Dunaway charges appeared a trifle stale, and it was only after a terrific battle that they succeeded in handing the visitors a 2 to 0 defeat. 34 to 0 was the result of the Pine Bluff-Blytheville game. Both teams were affected by the intense heat, but the Zebra attack began to function and ran the score upward. That Dermott was outclassed from start to finish was easily seen. Taking the lead early in the first quarter, the home teamers, driven on by Quarterback LeRoy Goldberg, had the game well in hand at all times. Traveling down to Fordyce the following Saturday, the Zebras proved what dust horses they really were and handed the Redbug a 21 to 0 defeat. “Bigfoot Reeves scored every touchdown made by the Zebra team. One of his runs was a beautiful eighty-yard jaunt, which was featured by an effective bit of blocking by Sub-Captain Cutrell and the rest of the Zebra team. The first set-back of the Mule season came in the person of a certain young gentleman named Had-lock, the star of the fighting Mavericks from Marshall, Texas. Although the Zebras fought valiantly, they were simply out-classed by the Texans. When the closing gun was fired the score stood 18 to 6 against our representatives. Packing their socks and toothbrushes in their little brown bags, the Zebras hied into Jonesboro and plastered a 12 to 6 defeat on the Golden Hur-rican. “Roachie Smith of Jonesboro, Coach Allan Dunaway Top Row: Dunaway, Shalmy, Want, Gresham, Palmer, Reeves, Allen. S. Ryland, Nichols, Newton, Shelby, Manning. Second Row: Owen, Bram, Ross, Smithy, R. Davis, McGibbony, Goldberg, H. Davis. Third Row: T. Ryland, Carter, Sanders, Capt. Harrison, Cutrell, King, Bowden. Page Forty-One stole the show with his seventy-seven yard run. However, Goldberg of Pine Bluff did himself right well, scoring both of our touchdowns. This was the hardest game of the year, and two of the Zebra-men were carried from the field injured. Time after time the giant Lyle Smithy held the Jonesboro fans breathless with the distance of his punts. Although the Zebra fought hard against the Camden crew, it just wasn’t in the books for us to take the Panther’s measure, and the final score read 9 toO in favor of Camden. It was mainly Smithy's trained toe that kept the score from being larger than it was. An apparently tired, listless Zebra team took the field against the visitors from El Dorado. As a result the score was against the local boys at the midpoint. After a smart dressing down between halves the wearers of the red and white returned to the field and put on the gamest struggle to make a come back ever witnessed on the local field. The Wildcat lead was too great to be overcome, however, and the closing curtain found the score 14 to 8 El Dorado. The one touchdown scored by Pine Bluff was made by Reeves on a cunning eighteen yard cut around right wing. The other two points was a donation by White of El Dorado. A track meet was held the following Friday with England High School. Pine Bluff won the game 64 to 0. The flashy Goldberg tallied seven touchdowns to be high point man for the game. This was an easy game, scheduled in order to have the Mules in shape for the Little Rock contest the following Saturday. To LeRoy Goldberg goes most of the honor of the Tiger defeat. It was his slashing, dashing method of attack that took the Little Rock boys by storm and sent them back to the capitol city with a 19 to 0 shellacking. With a seventy-five yard run, a forty-four yard run, and an eighteen yard run. Quarterback Goldberg pilfered most of the spot light. Harrison and Ross, hefty Zebra linemen, smeared play after play to gum the Tiger offense. Overconfident because of the Tiger upset, the Pine Bluff team motored over to Hot Springs for the most heart-breaking game of the year. It seemed that the game was a walk-away for the Zebras during the first quarter. Time after time the Mulesters worked the game deep into Trojan territory, but lacked the necessary punch to force the ball over. Just what an important cog Goldie Goldberg really is in the Zebra machine was shown by the fact that when he was forced from the game on account of a serious knee injury, our scarlet-clad invaders went to pieces. Dishroon of Hot Springs insisted upon pounding the head of Captain Harrison in a most ungentlemanlv manner until Harrison, too, was driven from the field with a bruised cranium. 13 to 6 was how the score stood at the end of the massacre. Thanksgiving was anything but the traditionary ideal day for football. It rained throughout the entire game between Humes High and Pine Bluff. RALPH ROBINSON 8c SON AMBULANCE SERVICE PHONE 0 Page Forty'Two The game turned into a battle of mud-horse with the Zebras a shade better. “Dutch” King proved to be the main stay of the Zebra forewall in this affray. Herb the great Reeves pulled a beautiful 70 yard dash for a touchdown early in the second half. This was one of the neatest bits of broken field running seen in the Mule stadium in many a day. Shorty Davis realed off forty-five yards for a touchdown, and Gresham plunged the last touchdown and scored the extra point to make the tally 20-0 Pine Bluff. With the closing of the Thanksgiving game also came the close of the football careers of the following Pine Bluff High School football heroes: Herbert Reeves, Marvin Gresham, Jack Mays, Delbert Cutrcll, Brown Carter, and Captain Hollis “Truckhorse” Harrison. Captain Harrison and LeRoy Goldberg were placed on the mythical all-state football team. In addition Goldberg was picked to captain the All-Southern group. This is probably the highest honor that can be placed upon a high school player. Tubby Ross, who dealt the Tiger men so much misery in the Zebra-Tiger clash, was placed on Little Rock's All-Opponent team. There were many other luminaries on the Zebra rostrum. Abe Bram and Dutch King were real strengths in the line, and Hill Sanders would make a classy guard on anybody's team. The defense work of Jack May was also a slashing feature of the Donkey attack. Carter, a one year man, came near beating Sub-Captain Cutrcll out of his guard posi- tion. Red Davis played his usual good brand of football. B. A. Owen is another one year man of whom much is expected next year. The center position, the most difficult of all jobs, was well handled by Baldy McGibbony. Toby” Ryland, his understudy, performed creditably when he was ushered into the game. It was Ryland’s good work that enabled us to defeat Jonesboro after McGibbony was carried from the field. We could write pages and pages about spectacular Goldberg, but we will simply sum it up by saying that Goldie was a “right good man. Next in the line of Zebra stars comes Herbert Reeves, who will probably develop into one of the greatest athletes ever turned out of the local high school. Shorty Davis and Marvin Gresham are two of the best little backs that have played for the Red and White in many a moon. Wilson and Want with their long dashes proved that they were men that had to be watched. Reeves, Smithy, Ross, Bram, Owen, Carter, May, Sanders, and King received sweaters. Want, Gresham, Harold Davis, Goldberg, McGibbony, and Cut-rell received two year awards, gold footballs. The Zebra blankets, presented to the three year men, were received by Red Davis and Johnny Wilson. Burns Bennett, who has acted as squad trainer for the past several years, was presented with a white four stripe sweater. This is the first four year a-ward made since the new rule went into effect. Page Forty-Three Kanawha—What Ho! Coach Dunaway's whistle shrieks. He announces that this year all meals will be served in bed. Turmoil breaks loose as the boys protest. After the breakfast a free-for-all battle is started to see who will get to wash the dishes. It is finally decided that this is strictly a letterman's privilege. The coaching staff decides that we need no preliminary training in order to get in shape; so he has Coach Bier-man bring his Tulane Green Waves up the second day for a little scrimmage. Tea and cakes are served and enjoyed by the participants. The Kanawha football field, although a triflle over grown with cornstalks, is at its best on this day. The long luscious grass mats the falls like a mattress of nails. Tulane's center is removed from the game on the second play of the affair when McGib-bony refuses to play opposite a man who has dandruff. On the next play Pine Bluff pulls its famous fake play. Mc-Gibbony passes to Davis, who fumbles. The fumble is recovered by Goldberg, who fumbles. Reeves scoops it up and fumbles it to Wilson, who throws R. Davis a thirty yard backward pass and runs sixty yards to the wrong goal for a touchdown. This play is based on Einstein's, or maybe it is Mr. Cornmesscr’s, theory that by sailing east one may reach west. Although this is a good play, it should not be pulled too often, or the opponents will get wise to it. Another fake that worked for several good gains is this little formation conceived by Coach Manning. If A has two pigs and B is keeping A's two pigs while A goes to have a date with Jean Harlow and when A comes back, B has only one pig and is eating a roast pork sandwich with the other hand, find X. Time out is called. So Miss Conard gives the officials and coaches one of her famous IQ intelligence tests. After all have failed, the game is resumed. H. Reeves, the A. B. I. S. flash, picks up the pigskin and casually gallops down the field for the other touchdown. Davis banks the ball off Bram’s head to score the extra point, and makes the score a hundred and fifty-six to nothing, Pine Bluff. At this point the mailman comes and breaks up the game. The crowd is entertained at the half by Drum-Major Ralph Mitchell, who has just learned to twirl the baton between his toes while doing a back jackknife dive off a forty foot spring board. As there is no water available. Coach Dunaway makes an emergency call on the Benton fire department and borrows their life saving nets. Due to a group of moth holes in said net, Mr. Mitchell will abstain from further public appearances. Coach Dunaway announces that due to lack of competition Tulane will be marked off next year's schedule. It is rumored by some of Pine Bluff's prominent sport editors that the University of Dumbeck will fill this vacancy. The next night the squad is called to the mess hall to receive signals. However, Coach Dunaway forgets his notes and gets off on the question of unemployment insurance and ends up by discussing plans for a football banquet after the season is closed. Coach Manning challenges Coach Dunaway to a poker game, so a motion is made that we hold Kangaroo court. Abie Bram objects. A move is made (hat Johnny Wilson be made judge. Abie Bram objects. Several cases are called. Abie Bram objects. A motion is made that Abie Bram be thrown out on his ear. Abie Bram objects. Mr. Bram is thrown on his car. After two hours of waxing eloquent or eloquently waxing by Delbert Cutrell and MarvinGres-ham, it is decided that this year the first year men will whip the lettermen instead of the usual procedure.

The one-point-defeat jinx beat them three games, and sickness all during the season hampered their usual form. These are not alibis, because, considering the games won and lost, the season was a huge success. In a practice game the Zebras easily defeated a quintet from the local church league 43 to 30. Two days later they journeyed to Stuttgart and won 26 to 16. Then followed a terrible slump lasting for six straight games in which the hoop artists were walloped at will by Malvern, Truman, Jonesboro, and Sheridan. Breaking this string, the Mules won one and lost one at Bates-ville. Hitting their stride on the next trip, the Zebras were on the lucky end of a 37 to 36 count, and chalked up 40 points to their opponents’ 21 at Crossett. Warren and Sheridan administered three more beatings to our boys. The team started working with machine-like smoothness and a string of twelve straight victories was the result. The victims in order were Stuttgart, Camden, Jonesboro twice, North Little Rock, Malvern, Little Rock, Searcy, Bates-ville, Warren twice, North Little Rock again, and some local all-star cagers. Pine Bluff was runner-up in the District Tournament by taking a forfeit from New Edinburgh 2 to 0; however they were leading the Edinburgh boys 46 to 10 when the Dallas County lads walked off the court. We were beaten in the finals by Sheridan in a close game 40 to 38. C. McGibbony and Red Davis made all-district forward and guard respectively. In the state tournament the Zebras reached the semi-finals by winning from Village 50 to 37 and Thorton 44 to 26, only to be defeated by Little Rock 32 to 21. Cecil McGibbony and Herman Davis again grabbed off the honors by getting their respective positions on the second all-state team. Davis, Smithy, McGibbony, Stuart, Petticrcw, Nickclls, Goldberg, Davis. Page Forty-Six Junior Athletics Much credit is due those fighting youngsters from Pine Bluff Junior High and their coaches, Lowell Manning and N. M. Minton. In the past two years the Colts have won four state championships: two in basketball and one in track last year, with good prospects again this year. While Assistant Coach Manning was barking orders to the varsity football squad, Mr. Minton took over the reigns of the young Mules and guided them to the state championship in football. This year, in football, the aspirants lost only one game, tying one and winning six. They won one and lost one with North Little Rock and Sylvan Hills tied them. Other teams that the young Mules defeated were Camden, Fuller, Watson Chapel, Hot Springs, and Jonesboro, winning from Jonesboro in the final game to take the state championship. “Jelly Rauls, end, LeRoy Branch, quarter back, and Matlock, guard, received all-state positions on the first team. Craven and Craig, half-back and full-back respectively, were placed on the second team; and Harry Peterson, lanky center, received honorable mention. Other members of the team were Lemons and L. Craig, ends; Thornton, May, and Williams, tackles; Nickells and Smith, guards; and Johnson, half-back. The Juniors have placed three men on the Junior all-state basketball team, namely; Rawls, forward: Guy, center; and Burnett, guard. Rawls was the outstanding choice of all officials in both district and state tournaments. Other members of the squad who won their letters are Matlock, guard; Benson, forward; Lemons, forward; Pritchard, guard; and Thornton, center. Last year Coach Manning had two ace track men in Shelton and Smithy, He will be without the services of both of these boys this year, but thinks he can again win the state meet with such prospects as Lemons and Branch, hurdlers and dash men; Pritchard, Williams, and Thornton, high jump and weight men; and Burnett and Guice, dash men. They are all showing up fine right now. Thornton, Guy, Pritchard, Lemcns, Rauls, Benson, Matlock, Burnett. Page Forty-Seven Spring Athletics TRACK The largest squad in the history of Pine Bluff High School athletics turned out for the '32 track team. Twenty-five candidates reported to coaches Dunaway and Manning in the gym the first day. About fifty more reported on the field the next day, and during the remainder of the first week the total reached ninety-nine. Most of the aspirants are boys just coming up from Junior High School, but the majority of these lettered there last year and should develop into good senior track men. Mr. Dunaway predicts that experience will be the only thing the squad will lack. Outstanding among the participants are the five letter men left over from last year's team who won their awards in the following events: “Red Davis, hammer throw, discus, and shot; Hollis Harrison, hammer throw and discus; Herbert Reeves, dashes and javelin throw; Karl Keller, dashes; James Puckett, dashes and broad jump; Sam Ryland, relay team and dashes. Much is expected of Lyle Smithy, giant letter man of Junior High last year in the weightthrowing events. Tubby’’ Ross is also working diligently on the weights. Other boys looking good in the dashes are Scallion, Bolin, Humphries, Cearley, Spillyards, Owen, St. Clair, Ragar, Bunn, and Guice. Weight men who are rounding into shape are Bram, Hall, Marshall, Petticrew, McNulty, and Pritchard. Scarlett, Michalek, Puckett, and Marshall are the pole-vault and running broad jump entrants. The first competition for the thinly clad zebras will be a dual meet at Little Rock on April 27. Coach Dunaway has been trying to se- cure some more meets, but none has been assured yet. The district meet will be held April 29-30 at Stuttgart, and three days of the first week in May will be given to the state meet at Conway. TENNIS Due to neglect the Zebra tennis court has been allowed to get in very bad shape this year, and therefore, the tennis tournament has not been played yet. Mr. Elder, sponsor of the tennis tournament, with the aid of Coach Dunaway, has organized a club this year composed of boys who wish to do a little work on the court and to have a tournament. The ambitious lads will, therefore, have first choice of the court. Two matches with Little Rock have already been secured, and Hot Springs, England, and Arkadelphia have all challenged the Zebras to matches this year. The time is drawing near for these tennis aspirants to get to work, because repair of the court will take up some of their valuable time needed for practice. Taylor McAdams, letter man of last year's team, seems to be the outstanding favorite for the championship; however, Leroy Goldberg, Claude Curlin, David Young, and John Gillespie will offer some very stiff opposition. The above mentioned boys all participated in last year's tournament and turned in some very nice performances. More power to you this, Racketeers. GOLF We have only seven boys in school who are ambitious to become Bobby Joneses, as only seven have taken part in the first round, which resulted in the elimination of T. S. Dewoody, Wayne Maynard, Billy Hill, and Robert Atkinson by James West, J. B. Tucker, and Cal Hollis. Page Forty-Eight Them Was the Good Old Days” It is the fall of 1952—just about the time that school would be opening in dear old Pine Bluff. Along Broadway the leaves are tumbling merrily into the gutters. I, Burns Bennett, having just returned from an extended hobo trip over France and England, am wending my weary way down New York's great boulevard. Are my eyes deceiving me? No, I am sane and sober. It is my old friend. My old friend Christian Kientz. “Kientz! “Bennett!” And we fall into each others' outstretched arms and have a good cry. Upon inquiry I find that Christian, too, has just returned from a world tour. However, he traveled as a member of the Kientz Kollege Kut-ups Orchestra. After having reinforced myself with several orders of ham and eggs (on friend Kientz), we start discussing our old Pine Bluff High School days. “Do you remember the day your sax failed to function in assembly?” “Yeah, and do you remember the d ly you stole Mr. Dial's—Say, what is that? Gazing upon an oriental shop, we see a tattered sign, “HASSEN BEN SOBER, THE ARABIAN CRYSTAL GAZER. GLIMPSE INTO THE PAST.” “Say, pal,, let's go in and review our Senior class days. Okeh, parch'’ At the door we are greeted by a greasy looking wop in a vividly colored bathrobe. That is, I thought it was a bathrobe, but Christian insists that all orientals dress that way. “A h, you gentlemen wish to gaze into the past. Y ou wish to re-n e w the happy scenes of your younger days. It shall be revealed. The magic globe sees all, knows all.” All this is said in a very mysterious drawling voice. “Ye who would see, gaze deep. Look into the mystic bulb. Forget all, concentrate, lose yourself. Ah! Slowly the mist clears away from w-ithin the glass sphere. We see a scene. It becomes clearer and clearer. It is school, high school, Pine Bluff High School, where we had spent so many hours of play and toil, mostly play. It is the first day of school. Happy (well, maybe) groups of students gather here and there, talking chatting, and gossiping. “Why, there's the football boys gathered there together in a group, just returned from their football camp and Benton, in the peak of shafte.” “Look, look, there's Miss Anna, and Mr. Cornmesser, too. Oh boy! “Say, Kientz, you know there sure was some slick looking molls in school that year.” “Yeah, do you remember that blonde we met at -Say look, why it's Mr. Dial. Comes the hustle-bustle of the first day. Students registering and rushing here and yon, looking for class rooms. Say ain't this a dumb class of freshmen coming over from old Junior High? Well, well there goes Ralph Mitchell, with his business air and strut. Classes are opened. The school settles down. The novelty wears off, and school becomes hum-drum. The Zebras win the first game from Benton. Football practice evening after evening. Even this gets monotonous. Mornings at school, evenings at football practice, and nights at the Recreation—what a life! Page Forcy-Ninc ”B o y, them was the good old days.” “Y o u bet,” says I. The scenes shift faster and faster. Bible classes start today. The band decides to make all the football trips. Sure will be a help. Herb Reeves drives the Fordyce boys crazy with his long runs this week end. Whattaman! The final score is 21 toO. The school is all agog with the excitement of the Marshall-Pine Bluff game. It seems as if there's going to be some big doings around the school. Dent Eiland is appointed assistant student manager. The Senior hand books are distributed. Not much change from the preceding ones. The Student Council elects officers this week. Sam Ryland is chosen to head the group. Janet and Juliet Speers cop the rest of the offices. You know there's something about those two gals. Miss Dorothea Fitch talks in both assemblies. For once I don't sleep through assembly. Roy Lee Dunn is chosen as cheer leader. The rest of the l'— staff is composed of Dalton Harris, Lynne Crutcher, Hermine Maas, and McFerrin Ferguson. Power to them. Sue English is the new Editor-in-chief of the Pine Cone. The biggest football parade in years just before the Zebra-Maverick game. The boys from Texas are just too much for us, however. The Colts, under the leadership of L. Branch, hand the North Little Rock eleven a 6 to 0 defeat. The scrubs also down the Stuttgart Ricebirds. The four beautiful damsels that compose the color guard make their first appearance Saturday. They are Juliet Speers, Cutes Boswell, Marian Taylor, (Ralph, stay away from that color guard) and Dorothy Anne Senyard. Oh boy, are they hot! The football team goes to Jonesboro. The great bed downfall occurs. The band strut their stuff. Camden leaves us on the short end of a 9 to 0 score. The Senior Class holds its first meeting. Jack Mays is chosen vice-president. Delbert Cutrcll is elected president. Looks like a pretty strong football team. The other office is, as usual, a toss between the two Speerses. Big sister Juliet wins over little sister Janet. Anyway it's all in the family. Pine Bluff outplays, out-generals, and out-fights the El Dorado Wildcats. But the Wildcats just out-luck us. You can't beat luck. North Little Rock defeats the Juniors. Every time we have a meeting of any sort Captain Hollis Harrison just insists on making a speech. It's getting so bad that here's Abie Bram always trying to do the same. Two more fluent speakers we've never seen. Red 'n Christian 'n Pinky play in assembly this morning. Zebras have a hard time defeating a strong team from England, Arkansas. The final score is 64 to 0, Pine Bluff. Poor LcRoy, they just would run him to death. Marian Taylor and Joe Evans selected to guide the destiny of the '32 annual. Zebras 19, Tigers 0. Nuf said. Far be it from us to rub it in. ”Oh no, not us. The Junior Zebras threw Hot Springs for a 7 to 0 loss. LeRoy Branch and Oscar Matlock arc two ( lads that are going to give somebody some misery in a couple of years. We beat Humes. Look, Burns, don’t Marian and Cutes look funny all dripping wet. They should have known better than come to the football game in all this rain.” Gee whiz, I don't see why Mr. Allen had to give us these two days off for Thanksgiving. Let's get them to stop all holidays from now on.” Aw Nerts. Well, Eugene Wiley won the Sil-bernagle oratorical contest all right.” Behold we see an autogiro, containing one of Pine Bluff High’s noble ad chasers. Yessir, it's Carrie Mac Norton. Doesn't she think she's classy? Kccby's gets Page Fifty the ring contract. Doctor Brough talks in assembly. Sure did enjoy it. Branch, Matlock, and Rawls make a 11 state junior football team. Goldberg is picked as captain of All-Southern football team. Zebras open basketball season by beating Stuttgart and losing to Malvern. Harold Davis being star of the show, as usual. Many other scenes flit by on the marvelous globe, some so fast that we can only catch passing glimpses of them. Clarence Cutrell is selected to head the junior class. Brother Delbert heads the seniors. Just one big family. Mc-Gibbony waxes pretty hot on ye olde court. One assembly that no one skipped is held this morning. Pine Bluff plays Sheridan during the chapel hour. Pine Bluff loses a thriller, by one point. Season basketball tickets sell for fifteen cents. Helen Hutt, Joe Evans, Frances Perry, and Eugene Wiley make the debating team. Mrs. George Beall picked as Senior play director. Dent Eiland chosen as sophomore class president. Quite a man that! Zebras take the two return games from Jonesboro High School. This boy Rawls is also a pretty slick basketball player. Seems like he's making most of the Colt's scores. The crystal clouds. The gazer raises his pan with a broad smile on it. The scene has faded, he explains, If you wish to see more, cross my palm with silver. Won't a five dollar bill do? says I. Si, signor, spake he. (Confirming our belief that he was really Arabian). Slip him the five, Christian. With the exchange of the legal tender, the scene again clears and we drift in the land of our happy young days. Who's who and Quill and Scroll picked. Some Baby to be name of Senior play. Big Zebras lose district tournament. Little Mules win easily. The scene shifts to the auditorium. We see a little stumpy woman talking. “I wish this thing had television, Christian mutters. Oui, but, M'seur, it has,” exclaims Hasscn, ol' boy, ol' boy. We tune in. A voice came to us out of the ether. We can smell it strongly. That's why we know it is ether. “Christine Formby, Billy Coles, Juliet Speers, Ralph Mitchell, Adaline Kerr, Hollis Harrison, Clay Bievens Yoe, Esq., Jr., Myra Bridges, Sam Ry-land, Monica Pogue, Judson Shaw, and Lynne Crutcher. “Why, that's Mrs. Beall announcing the Senior play. The school is stirred up over the band contest to be held April 14 and 15. Everywhere the talk goes around about our class being the largest to graduate from P. B. H. S. Of course this record of 166 is broken now, but back in 1932 it was the stuff. The annual press meet is to be in Fayetteville at the same time that the band contest is going on. The big Zebras lose the state championship, but the Colts win. The event that all hoped for at last arrives. The ANNUAL is put on sale. Our debating team is giving other teams fits. Billy McDonald is chosen president of the Quill and Scroll. We see in quick succession the entrants in the district meet. Sylvia, Juanita Jones, Billy—dear old Billy, making marks like a five-year old on a piece of paper . . . The Globe clouds. The grinning ape softly says, Do you chents vish to see more?” “W h y sho, says I. Will you take my check? Christian asks. “Nix, I took one once from Clay Yoe ...” Page Fifty-One What We Think of Our Band Webster defines a band as a company of persons united for a common object. Of course, we all know that the common object in the case of our own Pine Bluff High School Band is holding down the seats in the band room. This is the primary object, but there are others which are almost as important; namely, making such unearthly noises as to prevent students from studying. This of course, the band does unselfishly for the benefit of the student body. However, they arc not partial to any one group; they also help the teachers by frequently being late to class and taking at least thirty minutes of the period explaining why they were. This enables the teacher to relax and get her mind off lessons for a time, and don't think that such favors are not appreciated or quickly forgotten, even though sometimes the teachers forget to thank the band boys. No, indeed. Miss Roney is so appreciative that she sometimes cannot find words to express her emotions when Joe Barry Mullins, Edwin Kueck, Billy Coles, and Royce Locke are all fifteen minutes late. Speaking of Billy Coles, you know it is really touching the way that boy loves his art. Why he nearly burst into tears once when he picked up his little flute and started blowing—Someone mentioned that no wonder he burst into tears at music like that—and there really isn't —I’ve heard almost such strong emotion expressed on the football field when the band blared forth in all its splendor; in fact, some people around me just broke down and moaned. But I seem to be straying off my s u b j e c t—I’ll get b a c k—now where was I? Oh, yes a band is a group of persons united for a common object. Webster also adds that it may be a group of musicians; however, as there might be too much argument on this point, we will pass over it and accept the first definition. There are many things which a band must have—one of them is a leader, who is generally called a drum major, though why, I don’t know, for all he apparently seems to do is to serve as a hatrack for the shako; incidentally this is what Ralph wears on his head. The shako is a most important part of any band’s outfit. As I have said, when it is not in active use, it rests on the head of the drum major, and certainly it needs a rest, for it is actively employed to dust the chairs in the band room, polish the instruments, and also as a muff for the color guard on cold days. The director of the band is a necessary evil, as it were. He is very efficient in the position of general flunky for the band-boys. He puts the instruments away, and clears up the band room, and dso tries to teach the brilliant players how to play. He is the unheralded martyr of the school. He directs the band on the football field, and is a very brave and controlled man, for he keeps waving his little baton in the air instead of throwing it at Luke Duncan. Hail to the band director—poor man—we must wonder if he will live long, and if he does, if he will go on directing our band. We sincerely hope so; for, 1 am sure if he doesn't the band won’t be the great, stupenduous, superfluous organization that it is. The Pine Bluff High School band has fifty-four members who are as actively employed as the drum major, but there is one who is the very center of the whole organization, the biggest man in the group, (This is printed by special permission of the copyright owners, K i e n t z and K i e n t z) and this great band man is Christian Kicntz. Page Fifty-Two Who’s Who In Our Institution of Higher Learning “Meetin' will please come to order! shrieks Mr. Dial. “‘Say, bozo, who are you to be calling us down? slings back Good Time Dill’ Cunningham, the playboy of Pine Bluff High School, as he gleefully heaves another desk at Mr. Dial. Aw go die, gently bellows Myra Bridges. A visitor inquires, And who might these two boisterous people be?” Oh that's just Bill and Myra, the school cut-ups. Over in one corner by himself saying nothing, Burns Bennett sits with folded hands and watches the proceedings with a puzzled look on his pan. In another corner with a forlorn look on his countenance is poor little Sam Ryland, unnoticed by his fellows and shunned by everyone. Life in school is hard on a boy whom no one notices, and he is drowning his sorrows in a new Ballyhoo. “Where's Janet? someone inquires. “Oh she wasn't even invited; 1 guess she's sitting at home as usual. And Bennett sleeps peacefully. Why don't Buddy and Marian ever wear something besides overalls and calico? I wish Buddy would take to wearing, shoes, and those cotton stockings of Marian's look awful,” blurts B’ll unthoughtedly, as usual. With a loud report of her chewing gum, Betty Strickland announces that she is not to be forgotten, and ambles across the room to hear Bill and Myra wisecrack. At the blackboard, Hollis Harrison and Beatrice Hudson, the school athletes, are engaged in a thrilling game of Tit-tat-to. Although Harrison has forged into the lead, the strain is telling on the little fellow. And Bennett sleeps peacefully. Let’s have a program, suggests M-.rian Taylor, horning in on the conversation in a most unladylike manner. Wot's a program? asks Robert Loving dumbly. “A program, explains Sylvia Ehrenberg, think- □ ing quickly, is sometimes when a bunch of hams do something like playing on a violin or draws pitchers or something. “Well, dat leaves us out I guess, says Neil Ferguson, “I'd like to see someone draw a pitcher in dis crowd. Monica Pogue gently pushes Bennett out the window and calls everyone's attention to her cute trick. Everyone, having approved said trick, again settles down to nothing. Carrie Maye Norton and Juliet Speers discuss nothing in particular and Dorothy Ann Senyard in general. “Wot a complexion, groans Carrie Maye, who always lets the boys alone except when cornered, Why don’t she use some of this Doobury's Massage Polish what I use on my eye brows? Someone oughter tip her off about a nap in the afternoon, too. Of course as this all was highly complimentary, Juliet could do nothing but agree. And Bennett sleeps peacefully in the flower bed. “Let's us boys go somewhere by ourselves and leave these old girruls alone,” mutters Sterling Clark, who has been having a time dodging Myra Bridges. S..y, that's a great idea, shouts McFerrin Ferguson, who since his entrance half hour ago, has been left alone by everyone but a few boys, I'm tired of being spurned by the girls. They only speak to that good looking Loving boy. And with this touching outburst, which classifies him in the Sam Ryland class, he turns and rushes out.
