The man to whom the annual staff dedi- cates the 1969 Lion is just such a person. Always showing enthusiasm and interest in the individual as well as the school, he has stood by us with ad- vice, encouragement, and devotion. A willing listener, he is available at any time to solve a problem or help with an important decision. It is to you. Coach Bob Jackson, that we extend our love and devotion through the dedication of this Lion. Mr. ‘James Mlf SUPERINTENDENT The job of a superintendent is a challeng- ing one. Not only must he handle the ad- ministrative duties efficiently and promote understanding among faculty, students, and parents, but he should also inspire those about him to attack their duties with great enthusiasm. Such an administrator is Mr. James Ahlf, whose strength and conviction have brought excellence to the Searcy School System. PRINCIPAL The ability to meet the problems and demands of a large student body with ease and assurance comes only with untiring energy and determination. Our principal, Mr. Donald Pitts, combines a unique char- acter with spirited interest in youth to meet that challenge. He is one of the first to realize that bettering education is a never- Mf. Donald Pitts ending project. Beard of directors The men chosen to establish school policy are of the highest caliber. Chosen are responsible representatives from all walks of life who receive no reward other than knowledge of a job well done. With the best interest of the school and its students in mind, these men provide the Searcy Schools with quality education. DR. W. A.

Queen Theresa Davis and Royalty, Susan Murray, Kay Osborne, Jeannine Mallett, and Cathy Pruitt reigned over the homecoming game. The highlight of the activities was the traditional crown- ing of the Queen by Superintendent James Ahlf. 81 Homecoming Susan Murray MAID of HONOR Kay Osborne SENIOR MAID Maids Cathy Pruitt SOPHOMORE MAID ‘■Jminine Mallett JUNIOR MAID Club fteta Bradley S-Club Sweetheart Parada Pruitt Key Club Sweetheart 84 Sweethearts Martha Heard Band Sweetheart Debby Mitchell J JJi Sweetheart 86 Homecoming Assembly was a Three Ring Circus honoring Royalty, Sweethearts, and Escorts. Club Sweethearts were honored along with the royalty at an afternoon tea. Also among the beauties of the assembly were the members of the mock homecoming. 87 The student is select indeed that is chosen by the high school faculty as the outstanding student in their class. Yet, with 1969, Luther Hardin has won his sec- ond such award. Having been active in school affairs, sports, and maintaining straight A's throughout his high school years, he has proved himself to be the leader typified by this award. Outstanding Students Cut her Hardin Senior Zany Utk ‘Junior To be truly outstanding, an individual must be a part of the school's activities - not just an onlooker. Junior Tony Uth has become a vital part of many school functions. He serves as vice-president of the Student Council and spends many hours preparing for the next football season. Besides being a good student, Tony participates in all school activities. 88 Zom l arnetl Sophomore The myth of the mindless athlete is quickly being dispelled by students such as Tom Yarnell, the sophomore recipient of this award. Tom maintained a straight A average throughout his first high-school year. He also found time to compete in football and basket- ball, building a firm foundation for the remainder of his high school years.

They extended their record to 6-0 before their first loss at Paragould Dec. 21. After the game, in the dressing room the Lions vowed to be 14-1 when they met Conway at Conway Jan. 24. They fulfilled their vow by winning the next 8 games and being 8 overall in the state when they met 9 ranked Conway. Before an over flowing crowd the Wampus Cats took a close 53-49 decision. After this loss the Lions extended their record to 19-2 with a rematch victory over Con- way, moved to 7 in the state, and made themselves a real contender in the Confer- ence race and the Region and State Tournaments. 146 Webberjcontrols against Sylvan Hills as Morton stands ready. SHS LIONS DOWN JACKSONVILLE After winning two close games from the Red Devils earlier in the season, the Lions came through with a twenty point victory, 54- 34. It was in this game that 6'9 Lonnie Webber began to make use of his moves, leading the attack with 25 points. Parnell goes high for a rebound as Bradley and Mor- ton look on. SEARCY SWAMPS SYLVAN HILLS, 94-48 A week before the start of the conference season, the Lions put it all togeth- er against the Sylvan Hills Bears, 94-48, in a bril- liant offensive and defen- sive show. After building up a good lead by scoring 53 points by intermission, Searcy substituted freely in the second half with everybody seeing action. LIONS LOSE HEARTBREAKER On Jan. 24 the Searcy Lions took their 14-1 record and 8 overall state rating to Conway, who was 14-3 and 9 in the state. Before a stand- ing room only crowd, Searcy jumped out to a nine point lead before the Wampus Cats started fouling. Although the Lions outscored the Wampus Cats from the field, free shots proved to be their down- fall, as they eventually lost, 53-49.

Searcy jumped out to an early seven point lead, could build it no further, but maintained it throughout the game. With six seconds left in the game, tempers flaired as Searcy's Lonnie Webber and Catholic's Mike Campbell exchanged blows. In the fight that followed four Searcy players received bruises and minor lacerations. The final score, Searcy 59 - Catholic High 51. Webber outmaneuvers three Rockets. Jerry Morton helped the Lions inside with drives like this one. 153 jjr.

These championships were won consecutively, all in cross country, and all under the leadership of Coach Bob Jackson. Four returning lettermen strengthened the Road- runners as Searcy set the pace in meets from their home town to Memphis, Tennessee. With seniors, Jimmy Smith, Billy Gentry, and Larry Epps serving as tri-captains, Searcy won eleven trophies and two medals while averaging a low score of 22 points per meet out of a possible perfect score of 15. 156 C.

Searcy's second-place contenders averaged 53 points, and the third place teams averaged 98 points. The Tri-Captains and Sam Bradley, a junior, made up Searcy's returning lettermen and were given strong support by Robin Douglas, a senior, David Pierce, a sophomore, and Kerry Adkins, a sophomore. 157 TRI-CAPTAINS - Gentry, Epps, Smith The tension is evident on the faces of Searcy's Coach Jackson watches the race begin, runners before the state meet. Smith, Epps, and Feltner begin their battle for first place. Coach Jackson holds championship f trophy. 158 The season really started at the annual Searcy Invitational held at the Searcy Country Club. The largest meet of the season saw 17 teams and 130 runners competing for the first-place trophy, but Searcy topped them all by scoring 21 points and easily defeating Little Rock Central, the second- place team, with 90 points. The Lions added two trophies and two medals to their rapidly growing collection at this meet. Besides the team trophy, Jimmy Smith ran a fine race and carried away the trophy for first place. Larry Epps and Sam Bradley received the medals for 2nd and 5th respectively. Searcy won the regional meet for the third straight year with 16 points. Russellville became the number two team in this meet with 48 points. Searcy had four runners in the top five places and carried away five new trophies. Along with the team trophy, these were received by Smith, Epps, Bradley, and Douglas. Most experts had expected Searcy to win their third CC crown at the State meet. The surprise came when Russellville's John Feltner upset Jimmy Smith to cap first place. The Lions won with 23 points to Russellville's 45. The Lions won three trophies, 2nd, Smith; 3rd, Epps; 5th, Bradley. Douglas, Gentry, Pierce, and Adkins made up the remaining Searcy runners. And now ... back to work for track season.

Zeam Performances The Searcy High School track team of 1968 was one of Searcy's strongest and boasted some of the best individ- ual performances in the state. Coach Bob Jackson's second year as track coach saw five new school records established and added to the school's collection seven trophies, three plaques, and 147 ribbons. The Lions, with elected captain, Edwin Hughes, traveled to major meets throughout Arkansas, winning the Helena Delta Relays (3 trophies, 35 ribbons), the Key Club Lion Relays (1 trophy, 34 ribbons), and the Northeast Arkansas Relays (3 trophies, 30 ribbons). In the Regional meet, the Lions placed 4th out of 17 teams and went on in the state meet to place 6th out of 35 schools. Lamonte Bolding ended the season on a successful note when his powerful discus throwing gained him the 2nd place award in the Meet of Champions.
