Alexander, West, Officers of the Student Council were elected this year at the first meeting in September. They are: President, Jimmie Ryland; Vice-President, Buddy Norton; and Secretary and Treasurer, Elva Lee Little. Each year the Student Council is becoming more and more a strong factor in school government. Many of the improvements this year are direct accomplishments of its members. They have been largely responsible for arousing great interest in athletics this season. The colorful football parade for the Little Rock game was sponsored by the Student Council. Ticket sales for the basketball games were carried on by the organization through the home rooms. The members of the student government group have encouraged better conduct and better singing in assembly. Their efforts were recognized by the cooperative student body, and the assemblies have been greatly improved. All the more successful programs of former years have been continued this year. Supervision of traffic in the halls and better care of the school and grounds are still being encouraged. The flag is raised and lowered each day by a member of Student Council. A committee composed of the President and five other members represented the Pine Bluff High School Student Council at a state-wide meeting of student government groups in Little Rock in March. State officers were chosen and by-laws were read and approved. This group plans to hold a meeting annually. Members are: Judy Alexander, Sarah Ann Alexander, John Bassett, Verna Mae Bingham, Charles Bowden, Beverly Bridges, E. W. Brockman, Cherry Cantrell, Joe Clement, L. C. Cost-ley, Ed Craven, Silas Dunn, Ann Eddins, Morrell Gathright, Jacob Graham, Merle Gunter, Edith Hankins, Clyde Hart, Rose Custer Hollis, Pitts Jarvis, Helen Jenkins, Virginia Johnson, Claralie Knox, Mary Louise Locke, Aline Lowe, Billy Lowe, Patsy McBryde, Dan McDonald, Daphne Moore, Billy Ritchie, Margaret Robinson, Edward Rountree, Wilson Runton, Jeanette Sanders, Allen Sellars, Catherine Ann Shepherd, Felix Smart, Estelle Triplett, Ralph Wenzel, Lola West and Walter Wilkins.

Because of the qualifications necessary in order to become a member, election to the National Honor Society is considered one of the highest honors that can be attained by a high school student. In order to qualify, the student must excell not only in scholarship, but also on three other very desirable attributes—character, leadership, and service. Election of the thirty-two members chosen from the upper one-third of the 1936 Senior Class by a committee of nine teachers, over whom Mr. Dial, principal, presides, was announced March 26. The successful candidates are: J. W. Adams, Judith Alexander, Marguerite Baker, Charles Bowden, Beverly Bridges, Mary Chew Brummett, Genevieve Cook, Edward Dunlap, Silas Dunn, Ann Eddins, Jane Hill, Claralie Knox, Aline Kraeszig, Elva Lee Little, Johnnie Maule, Patsy McBryde, Jimmy McCain, Ola McDonald, Norman Merritt, Buddy Norton, Lurline Owen, Hallie Raines, Billy Ritchie, Margaret Robinson, Doris Roebuck, Allen Sellars, Catherine Ann Shepherd, Louise Stich, Myra Bell Till, Clair Tovey, Ralph Wenzel, and Marguerite Wilson. Membership is limited to fifteen per cent of the graduating class. Candidates eligible for membership must have a scholarship rank in the upper third of their respective classes and must have spent at least two semesters in Pine Bluff High School. The Pine Bluff chapter of the National Honor Society was organized in 1923, and the total membership is now over three hundred. There are more than a hundred chapters of the society in the United States, fourteen of these being in Arkansas. The new members of the Pine Bluff chapter were installed in assembly at the high school May 1. Installation was in charge of alumni members. 19 3 6 Quill and Scroll First row. top.

The Quill and Scroll, an international honor society for journalism, is composed of members of the Pine Cone and Zebra staffs. In addition to belonging to one of these staffs, a pupil must be in the upper third of the senior class in scholastic ratings. Candidates are chosen by Miss Josephine Martin, sponsor of the Pine Cone, and Miss Mary Toney, sponsor of the annual.

At the meet Clair Tovey, Louise Stich, Jane Hill, and Anne Collier made talks on the various departments they represent. The greatest improvement in the paper itself this year is the addition of a column of serious comments called Smatterings”, located on the editorial page. This brisk, up-to-date column has proved very interesting and successful. This is also the first year that two girls, Johnnie Maule and Clair Tovey, have ever occupied the positions of bookkeeper and collector, respectively, on the business staff of the paper. At the Fayetteville journalism meet the Pine Cone was given all-state honors along with the Grizzly” of Fort Smith and the Little Rock Tiger”.

Carlton Currie won second with a sports column, and Louise Stich placed second in the book review contest. The column, Smatterings”, also won second place for its co-writers, Silas Dunn, Thurman Ragar, and Louise Stich.

With a sense of pride and a feeling of elation, we, the 1936 Zebra staff, turn over to you, dear reader, our finished product. In it you will find our best ideas and our hardest work combined to make a yearbook which will perpetuate for posterity the memory of our graduating class. Our staff was hand picked from the representative seniors by Miss Mary Toney, sponsor. It is composed of twenty industrious students, seventeen of whom made Quill and Scroll. The biggest improvement in our Zebra, we feel, is its being modernized both in theme and page arrangement. Ralph Wenzel, Associate Editor, was our diarist and chief yes-man. Ann Eddins and Buddy Norton, Business Managers, were kept busy collecting first and last installments on the book and sending to the engraver senior and group pictures. The good ideas and trusty ruler of Mary Chew Brummett, Make-up Editor, were always with us. Due to the efforts of Claralie Knox, Advertising Manager, the finance of the staff found a new high and this year’s Zebra turned out to be a prosperous publication. She was augmented by Charles Bowden, Aline Lowe, and Farrar Martin, our tireless ad chasers. Take a look at our snap-shot pages filled by Pitts Jarvis and Allen Sellers, Snap-shot Editors. Those long breath-taking football and basketball articles are the work of Jack Segars, Sports Editor. Our Activity Editors, Norman Merritt, Marguerite Wilson, and lima Allison, were as busy as their names lead you to believe. Genevieve Cook and Billy Ritchie, Class Editors, interviewed every senior for data on his past record. Responsible for such things as the take-off on the Pine Cone and the Senior Calendar are Patsy McBryde and Albert Railsback, the Feature Editors. Aline Kraeszig, our industrious little typist, was one of our biggest assets. Judy Alexander is the Editor-in-Chief. Debating Team Eighteenth Century English lawyers used to meet regularly at an inn to dine and to discuss their various cases. After the meal, students would debate a moot point before their superiors; thus the modern debating societies were developed. Pine Bluff high school’s debating squad this year consists of Jack Segars, Joe Clement, Norman Merritt, Carlton Currie, Rose Custer Hollis, Edward Dunlap, Thurman Ragar, and Allen Sellars. From this squad Jerry L. Patterson, instructor of public speaking, selected Rose Custer Hollis and Edward Dunlap, Norman Merritt and Carlton Currie to make up the first and second teams respectively. These two teams argued both the affirmative and the negative on the debate question: Resolved, that Congress should be permitted to override, by a two-thirds majority vote, decisions of the Supreme Court declaring acts of Congress unconstitutional. Practice debates were held with Fordyce, one here and one there, before the season officially opened at the State Teachers College in Conway. Both of our teams won the affirmative in these debates. At Conway, March 20 and 21, the teams upheld the reputation of Pine Bluff by giving stiff competition to all other teams they encountered in the invitation tournament held there. They were eliminated in the sixth round by the winners of the tournament by two-to-one decisions. Pine Bluff high school will also enter debate teams in the tournament to be held on April 24 at the College of the Ozarks. 19 3 6 t Twi-nty-eight] Senior Play Standing—Smith. Castleberry.

The Charm School”, a three-act play by Alice Duer Miller and Robert Milton, was selected to be the annual senior play this year. Its clever dialogue and intriguing situations made it an ideal choice. Directed by Mrs. George V. Beall, this play proved to be the biggest hit of many seasons. After a series of try-outs, Margaret Robinson and Eddie Craven were chosen as the two leads. Margaret played the part of Elise Challoncr, the president of the Senior class of the Fairview School, who falls in love with handsome Austin Bevans, played by Eddie Craven, who inherits the school when his aunt dies. His friends, David McKenzie, Toddy Harrison; George Boyd, Jimmie Ryland; and Jim and Tim Simpkins, Billy Conery and Hcrshel Sturdivant are installed as teachers; then the fun begins. The principal of the school, Miss Hays, Patsy McBryde, refuses to be dominated until she and her former husband Homer Johns, Curtis Hankins, who holds a mortgage on the school, arc reconciled. Miss Curtis, played by Jane Hill, blossoms forth as the play progresses and the charm” element is introduced. In the second act we see all the girls dressed in severely tailored uniforms, completely lacking in chic. After Mr. Bevans takes over the school, they are not only just plain” educated, but educated to be charming. Two weeks elapse, and we see them again—beautiful, charming, and smartly dressed. All this comes as a result of their new teachers and their new course. Sally Boyd, the best friend of Elise and the biggest mischief maker in school, was played by Claralie Knox. Muriel Doughty, quite a flirt, was played by Ann Eddins, and Alix Mercier, the little French girl, by Judy Alexander. The other girls were: Ethel Spelvin, Lorraine Nethery; Lillian Stafford, Catherine Ann Shepherd; Madge Barrymore, Neale Martin; Elizabeth Gray, Mary Mec Castleberry; Charlotte Gray, Jane Coles; Dotsie Russell, Farrar Martin; Nina Dupont, Dolly Smith; Janet Ripley, Clair Tovey; Beatrice Brown, Beverly Bridges. As a senior play must have, Charm School” had a happy ending. Elise proves to Austin that she really has charm”. And the final curtain falls. ZEBRA Basketball To]) row—Coach Dunaway.

Frank Reed, Zebra Quarterback, ran fifty yards for one of the touchdowns. Sept. 27—The Zebras, accompanied by a special train loaded with local fans, journeyed to Fordyce for a game with the Red Bugs. The final score was 12 to 0 in favor of the Zebras. Oct. 4—In a night game, the Fort Smith Grizzlies, playing a defensive game, gave the Striped Burros the hardest competition they had met thus far although at no time did they threaten dangerously to score. A touchdown in the second quarter by Craven, all-state halfback, won the game for the Zebras, by a score of 6 to 0. Oct. 12—The Zebras made a trip to Port Arthur, Texas, to receive their first and only defeat of the year. This loss was due partly to the intense heat and the lack of condition of the Zebras, as the result of their long hours of riding. A 30 yard pass from Reed to Phillips accounted for the lone Zebra tally. The game ended 27 to 6. Oct. 18—Again a special train loaded with Zebra boosters accompanied the Zebras to the camp of their opponents. This time it was the lair of the Camden Panthers, whom the Striped Mules took to town to the tune of 27 to 0. Two fifty-five-yard runs were made, one by Reed and one by Benson. Oct. 26—In a night game, between the Pine Bluff Zebras and the El Dorado Wildcats, Pine Bluff saw what was probably the best exhibition of football technique displayed here this year.

Nov. 1—With determination to revenge themselves for the defeat handed them last year, the Zebras, backed by their usual trainload of supporters, invaded the domocile of the Hot Springs Trojans.

Various methods of initiating the members were used. They first went through kangaroo court. Next, they were made to ride the goat. These clever ideas were Mr. Bascom Bassett’s. Adhesive tape, cotton, and iodine w'ere employed throughout the initiation. Several members suffered dislocated knee joints and sprained ankles. Special benches wrere placed near the front for adoring parents to sit and gaz at their respective offspring. The darling children were called down tw'ice during the ceremony because the peanuts they were eating with such loud smacks detracted from the serious ceremony on the stage. All the parents applauded loudly and shouted at every untimely interval. Nothing could be more impressive and lovely than an Ornery Society Initiation. After the serious business was over beer and swiss cheese sandwiches were served as refreshments in Mr. Cornmessers back yard. A merrie time was had by all. Faculty Presents Assembly Act To a startled group on Thursday morning the faculty presented an assembly program in order to show how much they appreciate the student body. While Scrubby” played Bugle ('all Rag , Mr. Dial made a dramatic entrance. After a few juicy okes. he turned the program over to Miss Roney who did a tap dance. Her tarlatan skirts billow'd about her as she galloped over the stage. She danced to the tune of Whose Honey Are You? The audience was breathless by this time. Next, an adagio was maneuvered by Mr. Love and Miss Frazier, who was attractively attired in red cheese cloth. A slight mishap occurred when Mr. Love dropped his partner. However, they parted best of friends. In order to demonstrate his rhythm. Mr. Burnham sang. I’m Nobody’s Sweetheart Now. By this time most of the audience had fainted, and. strange to say, the program had to be closed. The faculty rushed Coca-Colas to the overcome students. Mr. Dial announced that the program was a howling success and that the faculty intended to give this program annually.

The results were as follows: Zebras 79 ........................ Grady 11 Zebras 60 ..................... Sheridan 23 Zebras 51 ............................. Leola 31 And in the final game, the nest of the Stuttgart Ricebirds was very much disturbed when the Zebras raided it by a score of 42 to 26. Before the State tournament, the Zebras played a practice game with Stuttgart. The Ricebirds emerged on the light end of a 46 to 40 score. March 13—At the state tournament, the Zebras lost their first game, which was played against the Little Rock Tigers. This game eliminated the Pine B uff team.

FOOTBALL-Continued (Continued from page 31) Nov. 16—The Zebras successfully answered the battle cry, Beat Little Rock” by defeating the Tigers with a score of 20 to 0. Two touchdowns were made by Eddie Craven, and one by Dub” McGibbony with a splendid performance exhibited by the entire backfield. The line’s record speaks for itself: the Tigers made only six first downs to twenty-two for the Pine Bluff boys. Texas Thornton, Zebra center, gave his teammates the opportunity to make their last touchdown when he intercepted a Little Rock pass. Nov. 28—The Zebras closed their season by defeating the Scottsboro, Alabama Wildcats by a score of 31 to 7. Although the Wildcat team held a considerable weight advantage, they were easily taken in by their better coached opponents. The only score made by the visitors was the result of a pass from Proctor to McGriff, Wildcat end. The climax of excitement was reached when Bill Phillips, reserve end. completed a forty-five yard pass to Payne, substitute quarterback. At the sound of the final gun, the high school football careers of six members of the team were ended. They are: Ralph Wenzel, tackle, “Texas” Thornton, center. Frank Reed and Eddie Craven, half-backs of the regular team. Jimmy Ryland. reserve end, and Charles “Toddy Harrison, substitute center. As a result of their record this year the Zebras were awarded a championship trophy by the Hot Springs Kiwanis Club. When the official all-state report came in, it was found that four members of the Zebra team were listed in first place: James “Red” Bennett, end; J. W. “Texas” Thornton, center; Frank Reed, half-back; and Ralph Wenzel, tackle. Eddie Craven, half-back, and Huel Cearley. guard, were given positions on the second team. Ralph Wenzel was voted the most valuable line man in the state, and Frank Reed was given the same honor in the backfield. We congratulate the team and their coaches.
