Zllmmwu, The seniors appearing on this page are the last group to graduate under the eleven year system which has been in operation since the secondary schools were first instituted. With all the merits of the old system of eleven years, there has been an ever present felt need for a broader and more expanded program for both elementary and high school pupils . Without a lengthy discussion of the new program we may merely mention a few of the immediate objectives of this system. Since only a small percentage of our graduates go to college or take any form of higher specialized work, it was felt that a broader field of work should be covered in the high school. as well as greater emphasis upon the fundamentals already being taught: with an extra year both of these factors can be met. Many boys and girls are leaving high school at a very younglage, and it is felt that maturity in years may make them much more stable mentally so that they may cope with a new social w world into which they have been launched. 5 'v ,Q- U if I1 J, 1-Q, 1-5 I' A Q' fg-' . li 4 iw. . ll' I Ax -..v-' STANLEY ADCOCK YVONNE ANDERSON ARLON DUCK MARY L.

After the absence of a period of eight years. we are beginning at the very bottom and building a strong foundation for a musical program which we hope to see grow stronger year by year, until, once again , we have regained the musical status of which Quitman once boasted. The reviving and establishing of the musical program this year, has simply been one of developing an appreciation for music by group singing in the elementary school, which is to be followed by the more fundamental rudiments of music the following year. We are very fortunate in having as director of our music depart- ment, Mrs. H. Shows, a graduate of Louisiana Polytechnic Institution who majored in music in that institute. With a continuation of effort and co-operation by everyone, we may well expect splendid results to follow. HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL On October Z8, 1948, for the benifit of the athletic department of the Quitman High School, a Halloween Carnival was staged. From the fourth grade up, each class was represented by some kind of Gyp- Joint, Bingo table or refreshment stand. Each class was rewarded by large profits with the eleventh grade bringing in the largest returns. For the first time in the Halloween Carnival history, one of the side- shows had a crier telling of the wonders inside this particular booth. His enticing cries kept a crowd at the entrance all evening. Through- out the evening the tenth grade sold hot dogs, popcorn balls, hot chocolate and other refreshments. This was greatly enjoyed by all the people as they went about their fun. Directly preceding and during the Carnival the election for the Kind and Queen of the Carnival was held. The candidates for the election consisted of the runner-ups from the grammar school, the junior high school, and the high school. Just before the carnival came to an end Henry A. Staggs, Jr. was crowned King with Corine Cope as his Queen. 16 Y' 51 . ,I , OUR COMMERCE PROGRAM Two years ago a new phase of education was inaugurated into the school curriculum at Quitman High School. As the study of vocational agriculture ended, a limited form of commerce was introduced to fill its vacancy. Due to the limited facilities for the education of the sub- ject only one class of typing and one class of Our Business Life was taught. At the beginning of the second yearthgumber of students en- rolled has been increased from six to twenty-four and the number of typewriters has been increased from six to twelve. This course has been greatly appreciated by the students of Quitman High School. 5 The tireless effort of Mrs. James Norred, a graduate of Louisiana, , Tech, and a major in commerce, has been rewarded by an ever expand- ing class. In the following years we hope to include bookkeeping and other commerce courses. 17 HOME MAKERS IMPROVEMENTS During the school year of '481'49 the Home Economics classes worked diligently to improve their Home Economics Department. in looks and in comfort. We had the couch and chair for the living room recovered in a beauti- ful piece of tapestry. In addition to this we made curtains for the living room and also the sewing room. We made a pretty dressing table for the fitting room and reworked an aged cabinet into a storage place for our china and linens. At the beginning of the first cool weather we installed a gas heater. Then to improve the looks of the walls the Home Economics girls them- selves painted the walls a light green with the woodwork a darker green. I must say it surely did help the improvements of the entire department. We have now begun a beautiful set of china, the name of which is California Ivy. lf contributions keep coming as freely as they have been, it won't be long before the set is completed. To add to the kitchen department of the Home Economics Club, they have several large cook books and soon there's to be another gas stove added. October 9, I948, the officers and sponsor of the Quitman Club, attended the Alexandria State Officers meeting. This meeting was a business and recreational one. November 6, 1948, all the members of the Quitman chapter of the F.H.A. attended the parish meeting at Eros, Louisiana. This meeting was carried out by a similar method as that of the State Officers Meet- ing. However, it was much more informal. Ruston District held its annual meeting March 12, 1948, and the Quitman Club was also represented there. The Home Economics Club of Quitman won much congratulation when they were awarded second place at the Jackson Parish fair which was held at Jonesboro, Louisiana. The theme of the booth was Wishing Won't Make It So, Home Ec Will Do It Tho. ' This booth contained canned foods, crochet work, drawn work, personal and infant clothing, and books for good reading. All this was prepared by the girls of the Home Ec Club of Quitman. They felt that their hard work had been worth while when they heard that they had won a place, even if it was second. 18 It's an old custom of the F. H. A. to initiate the Freshmen Home Makers on Halloween. This was again carried out this year and what a sight befell the eyes of the upperclassmen when the freshmen appeared Halloween day. They were dressed in all modes and manners. However, they managed to survive the day and its punishments, only to be greeted with more that night. The initiation was held at the schoolhouse and at night especially Halloween night, the halls and empty rooms are rather frighten- ing. If you are doubtful. ask the freshmen. After the initiating part, though, we perked them up with refreshments and games. They survived itg although some of them are still wondering how. THE QUITMAN 4-H CLUB The 4-H Club is one of the largest organizations in the United States. On November 10, 1948 the Quitman 4-H Club held their first meeting this school year for the purpose of electing new officers. There are twenty-two boys and forty-five girls whis is a total of sixty-six members belonging to the Quitman 4-H Club. Members meet once a month to discuss the business of the future activities. Mr. W. C. Abbot, the county agent. always gives a demonstration to the boys each month. A demonstration is given each month for the girls by Mrs. Iness K. Bowman, the Assistant Home Demonstration Agent. 19 VI f Q ,. 3 Y' .1 HOME ECONOMICS OFFICERS Lavella Powers, Preside-ntg Emily Watts, Reporterg Betty Oxford, Trvasurerg Polly Head, Hisloriang Evelyn Moser, Secretaryg Edna Marie Stewart, Vice-President. . 4-H CLUB OFFICERS STANDING: Marvin Poda.

Their strong and earnest determina- tion has proved to be very successful due to the fact that they have lost only three games and the season is only two-thirds gone. The new coach, Kenneth Smith, has taken up the previous coaches' intentions and is doing a fine job in molding all the basketeer's minds into one. Smith and his Smithsonians are noted for their sharpshooting and cleverness and in this have brought much publicity. U By the time the regular season officially opened, they had not been fazed by a defeat, but had stored eleven wins to their credit, The first victim was the Jonesboro-l-lodge Tigers by a score of 39- 18. After conquering Jonesboro-I-lodge the quintet journeyed to Sikes to meet another arch rival. They won, going away 47-12. By entering the Round Robin League, Quitman has proven them- selves superior to all teams of Jackson Parish. Included in this league are such teams as Eros, Chatham. Weston, Okaloosa, Jones- boro-Hodge, and Quitman. In this league the cagers have won a total of eleven games and lost one. This defeat came, due to a forfeit, to Okaloosa. By guiding the team auspiciously, despite many personal factors, Coach Smith has proven himself synonymous to many college athletic dir ector s . - zs ', .mall At the first of the year new basketball warm-ups were purchased by the aid of firms in and around Quitman. So far many achieve- ments have been executed in showing the welcome of them by the boys and girls. These were of the school colors blue and gold. High scoremen for the Quitman Cagers this season are Joe Woods, and Felton Turner, scoring 364 and 353 points, respectively. Not far behind these boys are the others, Claude McMillan Z86, Elton Turner 263, and Junior Staggs 189. Entering seven tournaments, Quitman has been successful in ac- quiring five trophies. The team won first place trophies at Quitman, Jonesboro-Hodge. and the District Rally at Louisiana Tech, and won third place in the Gibsland tournament and at Northeast Junior College, held in Monroe. Reaching the quarter-finals in the Minden and Doyline tournaments, Quitman was defeated by Doyline both times. Although overwhelming all odds they defeated the towering cagers of Halls Summit, Z9-27, in the Doyline tournament. In the N. J. C. tournament, Junior Staggs won the Sportsmanship Trophy. Joe Woods, powerful guard, has been placed on all-tournament teams at Doyline, Jonesboro, and Gibsland. Also placing on all-tourna- ment teams at Jonesboro was Felton Turner. Junior Staggs was on the all-tournament team at Minden. Placing on Gibsland's all-tournament girls' team was speedy Betty Oxford of the local High School. Entering the Softball Rally at Ruston in '48 the boys lost in their initial game to Athens. Their record for the entire season was 4 won and 2 lost. Z6 -Hi- 'I xl H . . Q fl Champions o orllz ouiaiana Jean, fda-f asf FEBRUARY Z7 , 1948 As the season drew to a climax, the teams of Quitman High School journeyed to Louisiana Tech to the Annual District Tournament. The boys again. illustrated their ability to show superiority over the most talented teams in North Louisiana by battling their way to the finals and won the championship over Choudrant by a score of 32-30. In the preliminary games the boys defeated Ringgold 17 points, bumped off Simsboro Z9-20, and trounced the highly regarded opponents, Doyline, 46-16. Coach Smith was very pleased with the attitude the boys showed in taking this tournament because many hard days were spent in train- ing. This team is the first since in the 1930's to have even placed in the District Tourney and another successful year is expected from this team as none will graduate this year.

THE GIRLS BASKETBALL The Quitman sextet has proven itself successful, however, they met misfortune a few times. They have a 12 won and 9 average. The girls have indulged in very high class competition this year and deserve a great deal of credit. In fact they have met stronger competition than the boys. If they had played as many games as the boys, a better average would have been ex- pected and most likely received. Coach Norred has turned in a splendid job in coaching the rather young basketballers into a team, that has proven them- selves superior to every team in Jackson Parish. Next year a team is expected, from these girls that can hold its own against any team in North Louisiana. Having entered in two tournaments the girls, Lavella Powers, Lona Hinton, Betty Lou Griffith, Juanita Goss, Polly Ann Head, Bettye Paul Oxford, have collected one trophy. That, being second place in the Quitman annual tournament. They journeyed to Winnfield on January 29, but couldn't connect for the needed amount of points in order to place. High scorer for the season thus far is Lona Hinton, lanky forward from Antioch, who has turned in her first year of varsity basketball and has already collected 195 points. Following closely behind is the blonde wizard of the basket, Lavella Powers, who is now on her second consecutive season for Quitman. Before her transfer to Quitman she played at Blanchard of Shreveport. She has collected 166 points. Next in line is the fastest girl this side of the Alamo, Betty Lou Griffith, also on her second year and has bucketed 114 markers. Substitute, Inell Hughes is improving daily and has hit the sack for 15 points. Doing some outstanding guard ing on the opposite end of the court is a tall, talented, threesome plus substitutes. They are Juanita Goss, Polly Ann Snookie Head and Bettye Oxford. Substitutes are Emma Jean Harvey and Barbara Jean Petters. 30 Ev?-lfnv leo-rea, 1544,-v.1lo.. . , ' ..

They coasted through Dubach with a 16-8 score but were stopped in the second round by Ogden. Coach Norred and the girls are going to show many improvements in the following year however. - .. .- - 31 L1 GIRL 'S BASKETBALL TEAM STANDING: Emma Jean Harvey, Belly Oxford, Emily Watts, Polly Head.
