This group is composed of students nominated by committees of teachers and of pupils, and elected by the popular vote of the student body. Meetings are held each Friday to discuss the problems and suggestions presented by the representatives. This year the Council has taken a commendable part in the war effort by promoting the sale of defense stamps and war bonds, the reorganization of the Victory C’orp, and the collection of silk and rayon hosiery, sera]) metal, and waste paper. This organization has aided school welfare by appointing hall monitors, setting up boxes for “lost and found articles, assuming responsibility for the flag raising, cleaning the school trophies, sponsoring the annual Zebra Banquet, and co-operating with the I . T. A. in giving student dances. ('(U NTIL OFFICERS Robert Nixon ... Frank McGehee .... Virginia Lee ... Mr. Howard Elder ............... President .........

Any local chap tor may elect a maximum of five per cent of the junior class to membership and the remaining ten per cent the next year. There are eight members from the junior class this year. To be a member of the National Honor Society is the highest honor that a student in high school can achieve. A list of eligible students was submitted to each teacher this year, and she rated any pupil about whom she had a fair knowledge. The list was then taken before a committee of teachers, presided over by the principal, and the members of the National Honor Society were elected. Before making the selections, the teachers consider the pupils from the standpoints of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. To be a member, one must lx in the upper third of his class and must have attended the school from which he is elected for one year. Not more than fifteen per cent of the graduating class can be elected to the society. First Row: Ann Lauree Tillman. Joanne Smith, Joanne Owen.

One of the most outstanding- events on the senior calendar for 1944 was the senior play, “Ring Around Elizabeth ', written by Chari Armstrong. The play was directed by Mrs. George Beall, and presented April 21, in the high school auditorium. In the play, Elizabeth was the hard-taxed center of an irritating household. I lor husband was a dullard; one of her daughters was hysterically in love with a cynical playboy. The other daughter was stridently precocious. To add to the household complications there was a selfish, old mother who hoarded antiques, and a bossy father-in-law who chased fires, a nosy house guest, and a bossy cook. Most of these people were worse than usual, because they were after a legacy that Elizabeth had received. 1 laving reached the breaking point, Elizabeth contracted amnesia, in which twenty years were blotted out and she was a girl again. This state of forgetfulness enabled her not only to indulge in such caprices as taking up with her daughter's young man, but to tell all the members of the family what she thought of them. The senior talent added to this hilarious comedy proved to be overwhelmingly successful.

The Pine Bluff High School Band lias grown in popularity each year, not only with the student body, but also with the citizens of Pine Bluff. Much credit for the Band's popularity and accomplishments is due to the splendid leadership of Mr. R. B. (Scrubby) Watson, director of the Pine Bluff Band for the past eleven years. Recognition of “Scrubby's ability is not limited to Pine Bluff, but he is known throughout the state as an accomplished musician. This year he has been assisted by Miss Thelma Wallick who came to Pine Bluff from Jackson, Tennessee.

Halstead, Shaw, Sharp, Arlcdgc, Highlights In September, Time brought once more to Pine Bluff, “The home of the Zebras”, a long awaited football season—a season that saw the first of the strong teams coached bv A1 Harris during his three vears here, win the State Confer-ence Title. Scoring 2( 8 points to their opponents 12b, the Zebras closed their season by a 2d to b victory over Hope. Of nine scheduled Conference games, thev won seven, lost and tied one. A GAIN FOR BALDWIN AFTER THE GAME ANOTHER FOR THE Z’� Highlights Probably one of the most spectacular games played at .Jordan Stadium was Fort Smith Grizzly tilt. This was Pine Bluff’s first real contest and at the half the Fort Smith team had a 20 to 7 lead. After the half, the Zebras were a “new” team. With quick, snappy reverses, end-arounds. and spinners, they completely baffled their opponents. Scoring' one touchdown in the third quarter and two in the last period, the Striped Mules took the game with a final score of 28 to 20. The game, acclaimed by many fans as the best of the season, was the fray with the highly touted El Dorado Wildcats. Although the two teams seemed evenly matched in the first quarter, again Pine Bluff’s end ?around play, spinners, and reverses proved too much for their opponents and the Cats wore toppled from the unbeaten ranks. By this If) to 7 victory, the Zebras established themselves as real contenders for the conference title. Baldwin ......... Halfback Bayne ......... Quarterback Brown Center, Co-captain Shaw ... End Fundcrburg ....... Fullback Halstead ............ Tackle Michael ............ Guard Turchi Halfback, Ctvcapt. Mauch End Jchlcn ............ Tackle Bated as the best offensive team in the state, the “Striped Mules” placed two men on the All-State First Team. They were Glenn Halstead, tackle, and .J. ('. Baldwin, halfback. Accredited with 1 G points in nine games, Baldwin was conference high scorer. Loui Bayne, quarterback, and Edwin Michael, guard, were placed on the All-State Second 'ream. Coach Harris awarded letters to eighteen players and two managers. Highlights 'Phe Zebras were handed their only defeat of the year at Hot Springs when the Trojans, displaying- a strong team on their own field, won by a score of 36 to 13. After this defeat the Zebras surprised every one by coming- back to win the Conference Title. The only tie of the year came when the Zebras played their arch rivals, the Tigers. This hard fought game was played in mid-field, and bad breaks probably cost each team a touchdown. Late in the third quarter a Pine Bluff scoring threat ended with a fumble covered by a Tiger lineman. In the fourth quarter, when it seemed the Tigers would end the deadlock, a Tiger lineman fumbled and the game ended 6 to 6. Coach Al Harris started the 11)43 football season with seven lettermen. They were Loui Bayne, .Jerry Shaw, Billy F under burg. •J. C. Baldwin, Glenn Halstead, Julius Brown, and Valentino Turehi. The 11)43 Zebras were not a big- team nor did they have any outstanding stars but depended solely on teamwork to win games. Coach Harris’ teams have always brought honor and recognition to Pine Bluff High School and he is considered one of the best coaches in tin-state. Arlcdge _____________ Guard McNew ...........

Fullback Phillips ___________ Guard Torres .............. Guard First Row: (left to right)—Turchi, Halstead. Baldwin. Bayne. Kcopplc, Hammons, Bov.crs. Second Row: Nixon, Honey, Dunaway. Trulock. Ferguson, McAlister, Westbrook. Third Row—Simmons, Stark, Stauffer, McMillan, Easterling, Arlcdge. The Zebras, led in scoring- by Loui Bayne, played a conference schedule ol 14 games, but failed to make as good a record as some previous Zebra teams. Their two handicaps were lack of height and inexperience caused by a year of idleness. As the team will lose only four men by graduation—Loui Bayne, Glenn Halstead, Robert Nixon and (filbert Bowers—next year's squad should prove a capable opponent for any team in the Conference. Loui Bayne, the leading scorer, was an asset to the team in more ways than one. 11 is speedy floor work and handling of the ball helped the team out of many tight spots. •). C. Baldwin, who followed Bayne closely in scoring, played exceptionally well on both defensive and offensive and his smooth floorwork was recognized by all. Considered the best shot on the team. Max Westbrook was one of the main cogs as he made good use of his remarkable shooting skill. (ilenn Halstead. Captain, was outstanding as a defensive player and made good use of his height in taking the ball from the backboard. Robert Nixon, whose height was also a contributing factor, shone on the defensive and was very good at retrieving the ball. “Shorty” Turchi, one of our speeediest men. played well on the defensive and was good for many fast breaks. “Dick” Bowers, another good defensive man, was very apt at taking the ball off the backboard. B. F. Honey, a fast breaker, was an offensive star and also one of the best shots on the team. Medford Hammond, one of the teams' most consistent players, played well on both offensive and defensive. C. W. Kcopplc, a speedy player, was recognized as an exceptionally good guard. Basketball 1. Hootic, the batman 9. Takin' it easy 2. Tiger Band Performs 10. Team-mates 3. Must be good 11.
