! 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. Rosenwald showed its appreciation by giving the boys a banquet, the color scheme was carried out beautifully, using the patriotic colors, red, white and blue. The V for Victory sign was placed on every table encouraging us to keep up the fight for victoy. Toward the end of the program the boys were presented with letters by coach Kendall. The senior boys made their farewell address to the school. They were Richard and Norman Morris John and Winfred Didlake, Wesley Elliott, Robert Lee James, and George Wash- ington. A delicious dinner was served and the evening ended far too soon, for everone was enchanted with the strains of beautiful music as they danced. The social given after every football game permitted us to become acquainted with boys and girls from the schools of Jenkins, Lynch, Hazard, and Middlesboro. Miss Norma Jean Parks, the beautiul football queen, reigned majestically over her kingdom. Her lovely attendants were Miss Wardell Townsend, Miss Louise Prince and Miss Doretha Caddell. Miss Mamie Gore, a popular senior was crowned Sweetheart of Rosen- wald. Her three attractive attendants were: Geneva Pickett, Virginia Joyner and. Beatrice Tolliver. The Rosenwald chorus has made much progress, indeed their voices harm- onized beautifully over station WHLN several times. They also sang at schools and churches: Loyall High School, Harlan High School and Evarts High School. The churches were the Methodist Church, the Christian Church, and the Baptist Church. This chorus is directed by Miss J. B. Hall. The expression club under the direction ' of Miss V. A. Lawery, also had the opportunity of being presented over station WHLN. The Dramatic Club presented several plays under the direction of Mr. B. Clemmons. J. The Kleverette Club celebrated St. Patrick ' s day by giving a St. Patrick ' s Ball, which was their first affair of the season.
