“Clem” Ok staff retraces the progress of the 1949'ers of Pine Bluff High School Pine Bluff, Arkansas ZzHna cStaj-j- LARRY BEISEL, Advertising Manager VIVA JEAN TAYLOR, Associate Editor I. J. STOCKTON, Business Manager JENKS HENSLEE, Editor JIM HERCHER, Make Up Editor FOREWORD In this edition of the ZEBRA, the staff has tried to retrace the activities during the golden era of the class of 1949 at Pine Bluff High School. The prospector, Clem, has been selected to show the reader the veins from which the 49ers mined their vast stores of memories. Reflections On many a desk we've left our names That will tell of our school days and youthful flames, And speak of fun and fads and such, And all that in '49 meant so much. Some lessons were learned and others not. Now we leave for we know not what; But in any event we can never forget Pine Bluff High and the friends we've met.

This demand was the signal for all student prospectors to shake off the eight o'clock blues and to be attentive while Student Council was in session. By the time the roll was checked and the minutes read, all was in order for the discussion of student claims. This year saw the Council under a new constitution which provided a more democratic government. Representatives were elected from home rooms rather than from the three classes. Membership, therefore, was reduced from the usual forty-nine members. Under the guidance of co-sponsors, Mr. Curtis Love and Mrs. R. B. Watson, the Council accomplished many important projects. Fire posters were made for all home rooms, and 1949 Zebra directories were printed. The Council also put forth its best efforts in promoting the Youth Center movement. The 1949 Southern Association of Student Government conference was held in Mobile, Alabama. Ellsworth Watson, John Ernst, and Frances Joyce accompanied by sponsor Curtis Love, represented the Pine Bluff Student Council. Two representatives, Ellen St. Clair and Carol Lawton, were also sent to the Arkansas Association of Student Government conferences in Jonesboro.

Eve Dilley Viva Jean Taylor Miss Eva Gammill, Miss Josephine Martin NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Under the capable direction of Miss Agatha Bullard, The National Honor Society has been one of the most active school organizations. On April 8-9 the Pine Bluff Chapter was host to the State Convention. High points of the convention were a sponsors' breakfast, two special assemblies, a banquet and a dance. Early in the school year the Honor Society gave a tea in honor of faculty members and school organization officers. Funds made from the Society’s operation of a concession booth at B football and basketball games made a sizeable contribution to Youth Center funds. Membership in the National Honor Society is one of the outstanding honors given a high school student. To be a member, a student must be in the upper third of his class, and be selected by an unnamed faculty committee who base selections on Leadership, Character, Service and Scholarship. Five per cent of the junior class and fifteen per cent of the senior class are chosen each year. FIRST ROW: McCarthy, Hardy, Hunt, Pappas, Martin, Royster, Alexander, Peers.

The entire cast and all stage committees were selected from the Dramatics Class. Credit for the excellent direction goes to Miss Miriam Jones. The play, a costumed comedy, took place in Hungary. The story was built around a wager Lt. Horkoy made with Mitzi that he could get her three eldest sisters married within the year. The way he won the wager caused much confusion and general hilarity. Mrs. Gyurkovics, the Mother, was played by Janice Faucett; the seven sisters in order of ages were: Katinka, Sari, Ella, Mitzi, Terka, Liza, and Klara, portrayed by Mildred Wallis, Gracie Brown, Anne Ferguson, Sallye Ruth McGregor, Mary Gean Clover, Noi Peers, and Jerrie Alexander, respectively. The dashing Lt. Horkoy was played by Bobby Leslie; the jealous Colonel Radviany by Joel Lucke; the Colonel's nephew, Gida Radviany, by Jackie Culpepper; Lt. Michael Sandorffy, Member of Parliament, by Jenks Henslee; Toni Teleki, the lisping cousin, by Charlie May; and Janko, the chore boy promoted to butler, by Mac Tatman.

The library staff under the guidance of Mrs. Annie M. Eddins has done an outstanding job this year. In addition to the routine work the staff has done much to introduce students to the treasures to be found in books. Bulletin boards and table displays have led students to books which are frequently overlooked but are both enjoyable and worthwhile. Other highlights of the year were the honor system of leisure reading, set up by the librarian and Student Council; a tea given at the beginning of the year for the faculty; and the party honoring the seniors on the staff. On March 12, the student librarians were host to a group from Stuttgart. The exchange of ideas proved profitable to both groups. The American Association of University Women again awarded pins to three outstanding staff members. The awards were determined by a point system set up by Mrs. Eddins, a committee from the AAUW, and students. Points were given for volunteer work which increased the efficiency of the library. The library is a valuable service to the school and the student body. The PBHS Library ranks among the highest in the state. It is only with the co-operation of the student body, faculty, staff, and Mrs. Eddins that this rating is maintained. First Semester OFFICERS Betty Jo Hardy President ......................

K., you're on the air —These words from the engineer at KOTN were heard by various members of the Radio Council every other Thursday. To bring education and enjoyment to the radio audience was the purpose of the fifteen minute programs under the direction of Miss Vivian Adams, Council sponsor. For the first time, the council was divided into small groups of four or five who were held responsible for planning a program assigned to them. In this way every member of the council had a chance to plan a program. The organization was successful in giving experience on the radio to students and to bring the public closer to the pupils and teachers. It placed emphasis on the proposed Youth Center project and presented programs to arouse community interest. Programs were based on special talent, script writing, and stage interviews.

The Pine Cone also gave much publicity to the building of the Youth Center.

Clomp—bang—ouch! is a familiar noise heard over the heads of the seventh period study hall almost every day. Of course, it is just some unfortunate Annual staff member who has come in contact with one of the seats in the balcony on his way to the Zebra workroom. Most Zebra members can be recognized by their bumps and bruises due to such mishaps. But the fun of being on the staff of our yearbook makes up for most inconveniences. The staff is made up of Senior students who are chosen by an unnamed faculty committee early in the fall. Heads are elected at the first of the year and the hard work of putting out a Zebra is begun. Staff heads on the 1949 Zebra are: Jenks Henslee, Editor; Viva Jean Taylor, Associate Editor; Larry Beisel, Advertising Manager; I. J. Stockton, Business Manager; Sallylu Bunn, Secretary; Jimmy Hercher, Make-up Editor; Sallye McGregor and Mildred Wallis, Class Editors; Bill Spikes, Sports Editor; Ellsworth Watson, Activity Editor; Janie Blair, Bookkeeper; Bob Finley and Norma Holden, Artists; Jimmy Crump, Photographer. Miss Eva Gammill is the sponsor of the Zebra. The Junior Representatives, selected by staff members, are Eva Pappas, Sally Tisdale, and Joe Pugh. 1. Restin' on his Ford. 7. 2.

They compiled a record of eight wins, two losses, and one tie. To the final sound of the gun, the team delivered a hard and outstanding brand of ball. This year the big six AAA conference was formed; and although the Zebras were slated to end the season close to the bottom, they tied with Fort Smith for second place. Bobby Jones, with 60 points, led the conference as well as the squad with scoring honors. Francis Long was second with 41; M. L. Mann was third with 36; and Punk Owen followed with 26. The defense team this year was outstanding, and special credit should be given to Clarence Fairweather, Slick Wilson, Boyce Love, Paul Duncan, Wheatley Beard, and Joel Lucke. Special honor goes to End M. L. Mann and Fullback Bobby Jones for making the Triple- A All-state team. To these players go much of the credit for the success of the 1948 season. Coaches Martin. Terry, and Busby For the past two years Coach George Terry and his assistants. Coach Drew Martin and Coach Sherrill Busby, have been in charge of the athletic program at Pine Bluff High School and have done a wonderful job. They have given Pine Bluff a hard-fighting football team and an excellent basketball team. These coaches should be highly praised for their outstanding work and the excellent teams they have produced. In the opening game of the 1948 football season, the Pine Bluff Zebras took on the Mc-Gehee Owls. The Zebras scored in the opening minutes of play and controlled the game completely, making it a 54-7 rout. Playing the Redbugs on Fordyce's home field, the Zebras scored a decisive 14-0 victory. Jones made both touchdowns; one from the 2-yard line and the other was a 30 yard dash through the middle of the line. Owen converted both extra points. An underdog Zebra eleven traveled to Fort Smith to subdue the tough Grizzlies 19-14. The Zebra passing attack told the difference as all three touchdowns were scored on passes. Long threw to Wheatley Beard twice and Lucke tossed a short pass to Mann, climaxing a 60 yard drive. In this game, Lucke showed his excellence as a field general. Playing on their home field for the first time in two weeks, the Zebras took on a highly favored team, Blytheville, to tie them 7-7. After trailing in the first half 7-0, the Zebras came back in the third quarter to score and hold the Chicks the remainder of the game. Long scored on a 35 yard off tackle run and Owen converted the extra point. The line play of the Zebras in this game was outstanding as they stopped the highly rated Blytheville running attack. The Zebras next took on a tough Camden eleven. The first half was a fairly even contest but in the 2nd half the Zebras came back with three touchdowns to beat the Panthers 37-19. Jones was the offensive star, scoring three touchdowns, with Long and Mann each scoring one. Love was the defensive star of the game, stopping cold the highly rated Camden passing attack. Expecting to win, the Zebras traveled to El Dorado, where they were subdued by an aroused Wildcat eleven and were on the short end of a 19-0 score. Mann was outstanding on defense as he stopped the El Dorado attack, but the Zebra offense just couldn't click that night. The next Zebra opponents were the North Little Rock Wildcats. The Zebras, playing one of their best games of the year, thoroughly trounced the Wildcats 34-7. The line again showed outstanding defensive and offensive strength, while the backs showed their heels to the North Little Rock secondarys. Bob Jones was high scorer for the Zebras with two :ouchdowns, while Punk Owen, Joel Lucke and Francis Long made one each. Playing host to a tough Lumberjack eleven the Zebras again showed their power. After playing a hapless first half that ended 0-0, the Zebras exploded for three touchdowns in the second half to overcome the Lumberjacks 21-7. The touchdowns were made on a 90 yard run by Bob Jones, a hand-off through the line by Long and a Long-to-Morrison pass. The following week, the Zebras played their arch rivals, the Little Rock Tigers. The fast moving Tiger attack stunned the Zebras and they couldn't get back in the game after the disasterous first quarter as repeated fumbling in the back field snuffed out any Pine Bluff offensive spark. A rain-soaked crowd watched the Zebras bow before the Tigers 39-6. Bobby Jones, Zebra fullback was the defensive and offensive star of the game. The lone Pine Bluff tally came in the fourth quarter on a 25 yard pass from Long to Mann. Playing their last night game, the Mules encountered a tough Catholic High team. In the first half the Zebra eleven got off to a good start with Long and Jones scoring and coasted to a 19-0 victory. The final score was made on a punt blocked by tackle John Beard. On a sunlit Thanksgiving afternoon, the Zebras played their final game of the season against the Hot Springs Trojans. Playing one of their better games, the Mules scored early in the game and turned it into a 34-6 rout. Left to Right—1st Row: Turley, Holmes, Lucke, D.

They closed the season with 22 victories and 2 losses. Special credit should be given to Joel Lucke and Paul Duncan for being placed on the Big Six All-State team. This is Lucke's second year to win All-State honors. He is possibly the finest basketball player to don the Zebras togs in many years. Playing their opening game of the season away from home, the Zebras downed the Ricebirds of Stuttgart 48-28 in a slow game. Away from home again, the Mules met the El Dorado Wildcats, and after being pushed around the first three periods of the game, Pine Bluff forged ahead to win 31-25. Meeting the Hot Springs quintet on the Trojans' home court, the Terry boys handled them easily for a 35-20 victory. Playing for the first time on their home court, the now high flying Zebras handed their arch rivals, the Little Rock Tigers, a stinging 50-23 defeat. At the Robinson Auditorium in Little Rock, for the first time this year the Z's met and defeated the highly rated North Little Rock five 38-34. The outcome of the game was in doubt until the final seconds. Starting on their road trip, the Zebras met Forrest City first and defeated them in good order 31-22. The next night the Pine Bluff cagers were handed their first loss of the season by Jonesboro. It was anybody's game all the way. Joel Lucke should be praised for stopping the highly rated Jonesboro fast break, but that wasn't enough. When the buzzer sounded, the score was 43-39 with Jonesboro on the big end. The next afternoon Pine Bluff met Nettleton and downed them 53-38 in a high scoring tilt. That night at Jonesboro with Joel Lucke again stopping the fast breaks, and Slick Wilson hitting a blistering pace in the scoring department, the Zebras defeated Jonesboro 56-44. Avenging the previous 30-24 defeat, the Zebras on their home court won a hard fought battle from a scrappy Catholic High five, 40-33. In the first round of the state basketball tournament, the Z's met the tough North Little Rock Wildcats. Although the Mules had beaten them twice in the regular season play, the Zebras were edged out by a 45-47 score.
