! SOCIAL NEWS The various clubs and classes during the season of 1941 and 1942 have had excellent progress in most of their activities. The Dramatic club started the season by giving a Get Together Social. It was a very gay affair. The Red Devils really hit the top with a mighty bump this year. They were undefeated, tying with Benham and Middlesboro. The boys were really given pep by their four cheerleaders: Queen £. Cornett, Ralphie Amos, Louise Galloway, and Norma Jean Parks.
