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

Page 32 text:

The Zebra To the Zebra staff is given the task of producing a book which will have the power to recall to present seniors in later years scenes and situations which they may or may not desire to remember. 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. Kovac, King, Coles, Crutcher, and Hirt. Bottom Row: Taylor, Condray, Evans, Hilburn, Bridges, Cutrell, and Kientz. l »gc Twenty-Eight

The Debating Team When the debat' ing season opened, only one member had had any previous exper-lcnce; hut coached by Jerry L. 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.

The Pine Cone Since it received the All-American rating in 1928, The Pine Cone has maintained this first class honor rating On account of financial conditions, at mid-term this year it was changed from a w eckly to a semi-monthly paper. 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.
