Helpers DEDICATION In this year of 1945 the attention of the world is focused mainly upon youth — a fighting youth, a working youth, a thinking youth — our generation. More than any other time in history, the youth of our country is represented throughout the length and breadth of this globe doing splendidly its part, to keep America a land of freedom. Those of us who have had the privilege of remaining in high school have been striving to do our best during this world crisis to keep level heads, to learn the most we are capable of grasping, and to prepare ourselves for the great responsibility which we, as future citizens, will have to assume. The annual staff proudly dedicates the 1945 t hru to this great group of young people OUR GENERATION! FACULTY Mr. J. L. Patterson B. A. - Hendrix; M. A. - University of Chicago, Peabody College.

STUDENT COUNCIL The purpose of the Pine Bluff High School Student Council is to give the students a voice in planning the activities of the school. Each year the council sponsors a Zebra Banquet honoring the football team. Another yearly activity is the selection of monitors who supervise traffic in the halls. The outstanding Council activity for this year has been to cooperate with representatives of the civic clubs of Pine Bluff in organizing the student recreation center, “Zebraville.” The Council arranged for the election of officers for the club.

To be a member of the staff, a student must have made “B” in English the previous semester and must be a senior. This year the Pine Cone has featured the human interest side of the news. The columns “Campus Parade” and “ Pine Needles” are excellent examples of this type of news writing. Another change in this year’s Pine Cone is the use of a more informal make-up. Despite additional costs, staff members have continued to distribute the Pine Cone free to the student body and to former students who are in the armed forces in this country.

The nucleus of the plot centers around the Masons, an ordinary American family who suddenly become wealthy when a rich aunt deeds her entire estate to the only son of the family, Hardy Mason. The family soon begins to put on an air of social superiority, and therefore objects to his coming marriage to his fiancee, Sari, whom he met in Belgium while settling his aunt’s estate. Sari prevents a money-seeking social climber, Miss Helen Reeves-Alton from stealing Hardy from her by giving away the whole family fortune. Although the family first pounce upon Sari for ruining them, they quickly reverse their position when they discover she is a Countess. After first scorning Hardy’s attempts to make amends, Sari finally forgives all when she realizes that Hardy really loves her. They are happily reunited, and the Mason family are removed from their royal pedestal. MEMBERS OF THE CAST George Ware Frances Knox J. C.

L. MARCHING BAND CONCERT BAND The Pine Bluff High School Band, under the direction of R. B. “Scrubby’’ Watson, is composed of eighty-nine students. The military basis upon which the band is run gives the students a profitable knowledge of drill and precision. There are four platoons with one sergeant and one corporal directing each, and the uniforms and ranks are in accordance. The marching hand plays at all football games, the pep band at all assemblies, and the concert band gives several programs each year. The hand is ready and willing at all times to parade and to help with any civic enterprise. “Scrubby,” who has directed the hand for the past thirteen years, is recognized throughout the state as an accomplished musician and composer. ITis ability is attested to by the achievements of his students who have gone into bands of the Armed Forces. For the past two years Miss Thelma Wallick has been assistant director. CONCERT BAND After securing liis M. A. degree at Drake University during the summer of 1944, “Scrubby” returned to Pine Bluff to complete his “Symphony in F Major”. It is composed of four movements—an adagio-allegro, a largetto, a gavotte, and an allegro-maestoso. Besides this “Symphony” Mr. Watson has composed many marches, songs, and our Alma Mater. The 1944-'45 Drum Major is Ted Cash. Members of the Herald Line are Virginia Bland, Lucille Trotter, Xelda Jean Enderby, Joanne Smith, and Willie Jean Tucker with Frances Martin, Julia Ann May, and Gloria Miller as alternates.

The Fort Smith Grizzlies provided the first real competition of the year for Pine Bluff. The Zebras began with a brilliant touchdown in the first minute-and-a-half of play. In the third and fourth quarters, the Grizzlies opened a steady march down the field against a bucking Zebra line to tie the score b to 6. It was in this game that the Zebras suffered their greatest blow of the season, the loss of Captain Eddie Michael due to a broken leg. Pp until the time of his injury, Eddie had been the spark-plug of the Zebra team, and his loss was a tremendous handicap to the Zebras. Journeying to El Dorado for their first defeat, the Zebra eleven succumbed to the Wildcat hosts, because of a long Wildcat run in the last moments of play. Returning to their hometown after the El Dorado defeat, the Zebras avenged themselves by trampling a strong North Little Rock team under to a score of 20 to ( . Witii good interference, Turchi and Russell, in a steady series of runs, pushed the ball over the Wildcats’ goal in the first five minutes of play. Although they threatened the Zebra lead by scoring in the second quarter, the Wildcats were defeated by a Turchi-to- Russell touchdown pass which followed some excellent gains by Baldwin, Turchi, and Russell One of the closest and toughest games of the season was the following match with the Hot Springs Trojans. The Zebra team gave a star performance! Nevertheless, a total of 85 yards of penalties, mostly in critical spots, and some good running by the Trojan backfield resulted in the Zebra defeat 19 to 13 A series Jehlen Russell Dunaway McNetv Price Fratesi Shanks Gannaway Turchi Baldwin of runs from the Pine Bluff 39 yard line to the Hot Springs goal gave Pine Bluff the first score of the game. In the second quarter, Hot Springs scored two touchdowns, and during this period the Zebras received their first critical penalty. Turchi, behind excellent blocking, went from the Pine Bluff 29 for a touchdown only to have the play recalled for a 15 yard penalty against the Zebras. The Zebras, playing desperately in the last quarter, put tlit ball over for their last official touchdown. The most heart-rending of the penalties came in the last second of play. With the ball on the 3 yard line, the Zebras rammed over the goal line just as the final gun was fired. The play was recalled for an off-side penalty, but this time the Zebras failed to score. A heavier and mightier Little Bock team marked up a 40 to 7 victory over a desperately fighting Pine Bluff eleven, which futilelv gave its best up until the very last play. Climaxing the season, the Zebras played their usual Thanksgiving tilt at Hope . The Zebras gained the 9 to 6 win only after a hard battle. The strongest part of the Zebra eleven was its backfield. which functioned equally well on the defensive and offensive. Baldwin, high scoring man of the quartet, and All-State Shorty Turchi were the outstanding ball carriers of the team. George Bussell, with his shifty running and hard tackling, and ('. W. Keopple, noted for his efficient blocking, helped make the Zebra backfield one of the best in the state. The Zebra linemen were: .Joe Fratesi, Charlie McXew, Billy Funderburg, Marshall Sharp, -Jen Mill wee. Jack Jehlen, Medford Hammond, Hoodie Davis, and Gene Dunaway. On many occasions, the line proved itself capable of turning back the assaults of its toughest opponents.

BASKETBALL The 1.945 basketball season brought to Pine Bluff High School a revived interest in the sport, which had been lax in the past few years due to the failure of the Zebras to produce a champion team. The 1945 Zebra cagers, with new spirit and tactics, once more carried the fighting Zebra spirit from the gridiron to the basketball court. The Zebra squad consisted of three teams, which were constantly changed according to demand. Usual first stringers were: Westbrook, Baldwin. Rogers, Shanks, and Honey. Sparks, a newcomer in the middle of the season, and McAlister also saw action with the first team. Although the first string bore the brunt of the games, many times it was only by the work of the second team that the Zebras were able to bring home a win. Max Westbrook and B. F. Honey proved to be the leading floor workers of the team. Their fast breaks proved too snappy for many of the opponents. .Jake Baldwin displayed fast footwork and excellent skill in dropping the ball into the basket from all angles. Hoover Rogers was the work-horse of the quintet. Blocking opponents’ shots and following up under the basket kept him busy during most of the games. Tall Fred Shanks proved himself adept at following the ball off the backboards and in defensive playing. Also good in defensive work was the newcomer to the team, Jack Sparks. The 1945 schedule for the Zebra cagers provided 13 conference games. From these, the Zebras brought back eight wins and five losses. The Zebra victories were: Camden twice. Malvern twice. Hot Springs twice, El Dorado once, and Fordvce once. The Zebra losses were: Little Rock twice. North Little Rock twice, and El Dorado once. To close the season the Zebras journeyed to Little Rock for a tournament lose to a Jonesboro quintet. 19. Get him, “Ref, 20. Flying High. 21. What some people won't do for a stunt 22.
