Faculty Under the leadership of our faculty changes have been made in many departments. 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.

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.
