Qliwsfzs lgruplgerig CLASS OF '47, SOUTH PARK HIGH SCHOOL The morning was a cheery one, and I awoke in a pleasant humor. Looking from my window, I saw thousands of New Yorkers hurrying to work. I turned from my window and decided to play some new records the desk had sent up to my suite. My mood was a receptive one, so I put the records on the phonograph without noticing the titles. In a moment I recognized the first to be Chopin's Polonaise in A-Flat. I remembered that Iohn Fish had played it quite often. I stopped the phonograph, and my woman's intuition was re- warded, the record was Iohn's. The other records were by Iohn and his Symphonettes. Betty Io Watts and Marjorie Roberts were his violinists. I had heard that Marjorie and Betty were doing some research on animals. I believe they were to call it The Habits of Bears and Wolves with Spe- cial Emphasis on the Baylor Species. The other members of the organization were Betty Ottmer, viola playerg Gracie Haynes, cellistg and Beatrice Gritta, bass viol ployer. A nostalgic feeling came over me, but I could not let a childish thing such as home-sickness ruin a perfect day. I rang for my mail and the New York Times. Sitting in the over-stuffed chair by my radio, I was lulled into a peacefulness by pleasant music. A radio voice broke the mood with, This is your announcer Ionathan Romero, wishing you a pleasant day from America's biggest drug chain and its President, Eddy Iacksonf' All this happened just as I was forgetting how much I longed to see the old gang. The radio droned on as I tried to conquer the ever-present longing to see Greenieland again. Suddenly I sat up because the radio blurted, ulntroduicng your Hollywood Star Reporter, Shirley Taylor. In turn Shirley introduced Irma Lee Wil- liams, currently starring in Eyes of Texas: Sue Nell Hartley, star of Calamity lane: and Hendrix Sterling, who is adapting for the screen his bio- graphy of Peggy Choate. Shirley presented her award for screen merit to director Floyd Eberhard for his new mystery thriller starring Reggie Deem. The bell-hop, Leonard Aldrich, arrived with my mail and the paper. Determined to keep the day cheery, I started opening my mail. The first en- velope produced two tickets to the opening ol a new Broadway play starring Sammie Cox and Peggy Dillahunty. From the second envelope I took a copy of the Greenie Gusher. The banner headlines read, Ex- Greenie Puts South Park on the Map. Reading further into the article, I lound that Robert Miles of '47 had become a mapmaker and had really put South Park on the map. Another Gusher article was written by student Bobbie Stallings, appeal- ing to Congress for 'old-age pensions for elderly high school students. The third and last envelope contained an invita- tion to the reunion of the Class of '47. I was engulfed in another wave of home-sickness. I picked up the Times and read the headlines, Rhodes Scholar Twins Return to U. S. I read enough of the story to discover Bobby and Gene Behn, who set out to disprove all claims that twins are never famous, had been the first and only twins to become Rhodes scholars. They were re- turning to Texas for a reunion of their high school gradating class. I then noticed that the by-line was by Donton Mauldin. I turned to the sports section and found the sports scribes had named the All-American pro- fessional football team. I glanced down the list to see among the names Herbert Dupuy, Dale Hill, and I. D. McCrady. The same group named lody Runnels the best track star ol the year and Iohnny Walker, diving champ. Iody and Iohnny were rumored to be headed for the Olympic races. Another story revealed that a Lone Star basket- ball team defeated New York's best cage stars at Madison Square Garden. Among the Texas players were Vaughn Haney, Gene Higginbotham, and Harland Holst. Sports scribes also predicted a big year for Texas in the international baseball league. This predic- tion was based on the hopes put in the new manager, Billie McLeod. Turning to the editorial page, I glanced at the staff to find the owner and edtior was Garnet Fox, Circulation Editor, Floreine Browning: and Busi- ness Manager, Bill Gunn. I turned next to read tasty bits of gossip from Dee Monk's column about Broadway's personal- ities. There were two items of interest to me. The first was about playboy Augie Saxe. He is hanging around the stage door of the production starring Marv Lee McBee and Doris Laurentz and one hundred and fifty chorus girls. The other item was of the two best dressed women in America, Elera Garrett and Mae De Lane Nobles, who were entertaining Texas visitors, lean Hanks, Kate Walker, and Mary Lou Goines. I dressed to go down to breakfast and took an elevator containing two ex-Greenies. Sanford l.aBorde was the elevator operator with a philoso- phy. He said, Everyone has his ups and downs, and I help 'em a little. Conrad Butts was inspect- ing the Waldorph-Astoria for his report on hotels for the Traveling Salesmen of America. Conrad told me that Bill Morrison, Iohn Biddle, and Burk McGreevy were his colleagues. Waiting for me at the desk was Ray VanMeter. We breakfasted together, and as it was his first trip to New York, I promised to show him the town. First, we went to Central Park where the zoo caught our attention. To our surprise we found Robbie Fulgham and Hugh Gillogly in a cage marked monkeys. They explained that they were attending the animals, and the zoo was preparing for some additional animals. lCotinued on Page 421 X54- Cbreeiings SENIOR CLASS-1947 SOUTH PARK HIGH SCHOOL Dear Seniors: I have missed you daily since my office is no longer in the high school building. The record shows that your class numbered 257 in the freshman year. At least half of this class has disappeared and will not graduate with you. You who have remained in school and have now qualified for the most coveted Greenie diploma deserve great credit. I am happy to con- gratulate you for successfully completing your high school course With honors both to yourselves and to the school which you will continue to represent as members of the alumni association. Wishing each and all success in your future endeavors, I am Sincerely yours, Skipper', C. W. BINGMAN, Superintendent. MR. C. W. BINGMAN Superintendent B. A., Ohio Universityg M.

May you ever reflect credit and honor upon this great institu- tion which to each of us will always be the best school in all the land. High school graduation should be merely the be- ginning of preparation for your life career. The call today is for trained leaders. Limitless, unexplored frontiers beckon you.

Whichever pathway you choose, keep ever be- fore you that honor, service, courage of convictions, and fair play coupled with a strong religious faith constitute one's greatest assets. No class has ever gone from these halls for whom I feel a greater friendship.

Words cannot express our sorrow, hours cannot fill the emptiness, but our memories of Skipper,, will fill our minds and lives with gladness. We loved him with a love that is immeasurable and inde- finable. We loved him for his kindness, and, if everyone to whom he had done a kind deed were to send a flower, there would be mountains of blossoms. We loved him for his happy booming voice which filled the halls of our building. XY'e loved him simply, completely, and wholly. Wfe know as, perhaps no one else knows that there was never a kinder, nobler, manlier man. In every sunny day of life he was the vine and flower of sunshineg in stormy trouble he was oak androck. He was the foundation of South Park, the first and greatest Greenie, and the best loved, most honored man in South Park. His smile has done more to strengthen South Park and to help South Park than any other thing. His one philosophy of life was that everyone should strive for scholarship, leadership, and honorable living without thought of his humble beginnings. Mr. Bingman was the true Skipper,' of South Park. He guided the throngs of youth through the troubled WLIICFS of uncertainty. His only compass was his kind and loving heart. For South Park there will never be a more efficient, understand- ing, and wis Skipper,' than he. V MR. C. W. BINGMAN ur pprecimfiozz fo Mr. Qiliffiamson Nobility of character, courage of convictions, loftiness of ideals, strict adherence to right at all costs, unswerving devotion to truth and honor, a spirit of cooperation, efficiency, sincerity, en- thusiasm, generosity, cheerfulness, a magnanimous attitude toward everyone, all coupled with a deep sense of humility-this, to thousands of students and graduates of South Park High School, patrons of South Park, and citizens of Beaumont, constitutes the man who has unselfishly for twenty-two years given of himself-our beloved principal, Mr. Z. A. Wfilliamson. The impact of his dynamic personality and these qualities exemplified in his daily living have made a las-ting impression upon us, the students of South Park High School, and upon the many ex- students of this great institution. Fortunate, indeed, has South Park been to have such a leader. Equipped with a Bachelor of Arts in Science and Mathematics and a Master of Arts in Education from the University of Texas, work on his Doctorate at Columbia University and the University of California at Berkeley, Mr. Williamson has completed twenty-two years of efficient and loyal service to South Park High School and this com- munity. Among the many honors he has received are: Election as a Junior student in the University of Texas to Phi Delta Kappa, National Honorary Educational Fraternity, Life Membership in the Texas Congress of Parents and Teachers presented by the South Park High School Parent-Teacher Association, 1945-46 Vice-Presidency of School Executives of Southeast Texas, 1946-47 Presidency of School Executives of Southeast Texas, Vice-Presidency of of Southeast Division of Texas State Teachers' Association, and 1946 Chairman of the Board of Christian Education, First Methodist Church. He enjoys membership in such organizations as Texas State Teachers' Association, National Educational Association, Charter Member Texas Chapter of Red Red Rose, exclusive administrator fraternity, Rotary Club, Knights of Pythias, Board of Stewards, First Methodist Church, and Charter Member Beaumont Knife and Fork Club, International. His achievements have shown him to be the educator that he is. Two organizations to which Mr. Williamson gives much of his time are the Student Represen- tatives, which this year through his personal efforts has found fruitition in the organization of a Na- tional Student Council, and the Hi-Y chapters of which he has for the past fifteen years been City Chairman. These aim primarily at the development of leadership and the promotion of high moral standards among the students. To us, the students of South Park High School, far greater even than his contributions to the educational world are the manifold things he has given to each one of us which nothing can take away. He has become an integral part of our lives and has been the dynamo that has made our school achieve. Always he is kind, thoughtful, congenial, his sympathy and love often conquering sorrow and giving hope to those who need it. His absolute faith that high school students will assume responsibility for their actions and will respond favorably to firmness, impartiality, and fair play has been his philoso- phy throughout his teaching career. Among the lasting contributions he has made to our school is our slogan, Greenie Fight Never Diesf, By encouraging athletics, scholarship, and high religious and moral standards, he touches the life of every student who enters South Park High School, stimulating in each one of us those high ideals his life exemplifies. Ever he points us toward good conduct, straight-forward thinking, and wholesome living which culminate in cooperative, loyal citizens. Devoting his entire working day to South Park, Mr. Williamson has been instrumental in making our school what it is today4a monu- ment to the future of America. He has given of himself unstintingly and immeasurably to thousands of boys and girls, many of whom are now parents of High School students. Perhaps the highest tribute that could be paid to any man is now given him in the undying love and devotion of the hundreds of men and women-HIS boys and girls-who now rise up and call him blessed.

E. COTTAGE Illl IBlPIIllJt'i8IIl We, the students of South Park High School, feeling keenly the loss of a beloved friend and mem- ber in the late John Thomas Morriss, wish to take this method of expressing our esteem and affection for one who has, through the years, endeared himself to all of us. In all tlfe annals of the South Park High School there has never been one more worthy of esteem, more faithful to a task, more efficient as an instruc- tor, more loyal to his school and friends, or more beloved by all who knew him. Closely interwoven into the growth and development of our splendid school for the past quarter of a century is the con- tribution both in efficient service and ever-expanding influence of this great man. Innumerable are his deeds of mercy, his little kindnesses never mentioned, his words of encourage- ment to a faltering student, and his timely advice, given only on request. His every instinct seemed to embody a deep concern for the joy and comfort of others. Through twenty-eight years of teaching mathe- matics and science, John Thomas Morriss taught in- Hnitely more than the text. His students through the years have imbibed words of wisdom and have learned priceless lessons in the game of life which will stand the test of time. The greatest Teacher of all said, I came to lead men to righteousness. Again, He said, I came to minister, not to be ministered untof' In both of these our friend, John Thomas Morriss, followed in the steps of the Master, whose servant he was. We wish humbly to pay this tribute to one of whom none ever spoke an unkind word, and from whose lips were heard only words of Commendation. Qllfw-If Igruplgezg fContinued from Page El Next, we toured the U.N.O. hall where we found our old school friends, Wesley Crow, one of the U. S. Representatives to the organization, and Iuanita Baer, his secretary. Wesley told us that he had just seen Bernard Cash, who was now Einsten's assistant. Ray had business appointments scheduled for the afternoon, so I promised to go with him to the opera that night. Whiling away my time, I went shopping. I wandered into a fashionable shop to find its owner to be Loyce Harbin. Much to my surprise, I found several other ex-Greenies there. LaRue Floyd and Shirley Barrilleaux were Loyce's design-ers, and Mary Lou Koster, Myrna Trump, and Betty Bazine were three of her models. At the Metropolitan that night I pointed out to Ray, Velma Burges, leading lady in Romeo and Iuliet. Bill Randall was Romeo. Later we went to the Stork Club and were en- tertained by I. I. Lampson's band. George Booker was his pianist and Sudie Phillips, vocalist. Among the celebraties we saw Flora Blanton and I. L. Mills, who are partners in the Blanton and Mills Architectural Firm. Flora told me that Nola Silcox and Mary Ann Chenella were her efficient secretaries. While discussing the good old days in Greenie- land, Ray told me that he had seen Ralph Fuselier. Ralph, it seems, runs a Fifth Avenue haberdashery. It is quite an exclusive place. Ralph has some members of the Class of '47 as models-Donald Corgey, Ierry Tucker, and Ierald Bragg. The last statement was too muchg I just had to make the trip to the class reunion. Ray said there was a place for me on his plane. P The next morning I waited eagerly. When Ray arrived, I discovered several others were to be our companions on the Southward trip. Red Denton and Billy Baggett told me they were enjoying prosperity in their chosen profession, misogyny. Sarah Iane Gooch, opera singer, was also with us. Ianet Mahaffey, now a famous photographer, was going along, too. She was assigned to photograph the reunion for Life Magazine. In St. Louis we picked up a hitch-hiker, Iohn Greenleaf Willie H. Smith Peebles. Iohn didn't make it to the party, thoughp it seems he fell from the plan-e while trying to pick an air pocket. We stopped for a moment in Dallas and Robert Fife and his ten-gallon hat came aboard. Robert told us his ranch wasn't too successful, because there was a group of cattle rustlers led by Charles Lutrick. Robert seemed quite confident that the rustlers would be capably handled by his cow- hands, Zack Williamson and Russell Crawford, and by Texas's most honest sheriff, Gene Chesson. Arriving at Womack Airfield, owned and operated by Allen, we received flowers from the Swank Flower Shop which is owned by Barbara Zukel and Delores Wood. Wandering through the halls of South Park we found English teacher, Patsy Clark, and commer- cial teacher, Martha Wright. I. R. Wheeler, who always revealed an unusual interest in American History, was teaching that subject. We also dis- covered that South Park used the English textbook published by Rita Kotz and Bill McMahon and Company. I For several days before the reunion banquet, members of the '47 class were swamped with social invitations. South Park socialite Delores Howard and her husband entertained with a formal tea at Hotel Chester, owned by Peggy Chester, and managed by Elray Wilson. Mary Belle Ashworth and her husband enter- tained at their ranch. Iames Wing, President of Iefferson Amusement Company, also entertained classmates. I attended a party at the mansion of U. S. Senator Frank Tracy. Frank received the nickname Dick Tracy because he got Influence after a long struggle. The banquet, the climax of a perfect holiday out of the pages of the past, was a success. Among the honor guests were Bob Megarity, winner of the Pultizer Prize for poetry, Adair Smalley, suc- cessful lawyerg Stafford Martin, famous doctorp and Betty Anne Belt, winner of the Liar's medal for ten consecutive years. Ioyce Carter and Linda Collet wore fetching hats created by Iohnnie Faye Everage and Eva Lou Fagg. Among the guests sporting orchids and husbands were Wynona Bolton, Marie Smith, Betty Stevens, Colleen Stenson, Mary Young, Hilda McNeel, Marjorie Iones, and Shirley Bryson. Marjorie Roix, President of Super-duper vitamins, told me that her business was a success since she hired Ethel Williams as chief tester. The party was a complete success until the arrival of Hobo King Earl Griffith. The years of riding the rods had warped his mind and he tried to convert us to his followers. I returned happily to my room to ponder the queer twists of fate and the feeble attempts to laugh at class prophecies as a whole and this one in particular. BETTY ANNE BELT. w Miss LERA MCFARLAND MR.

In addition to John's making the high- est scholastic average in his class, he .has taken part in many extra-curricular activi- ties. He has been a member of the South Park Chapter of the National Honor Society ever since the Chapter was organized. Being a member of the National Honor Society signifies that a student is outstanding in scholarship, leadership, character, and service. John was president of his Junior class, and was a contributor to the 1945-46 GREENIE GUSHER, the high school newspaper. He was representative to Boys' State in 1946. John was interested not only in scholarship but also in athletics. He lettered in football in 1946. The South Park school system knew John before he came to high school. Be- cause he was an outstanding student in McArthur Junior High School, he was given the American Legion Citizenship award. John plans to enter the Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps, and later attend the University of Missouri where he hopes to major in journalism. JOHN WARREN FISH Salufaforian ana' floe Bausch-Lonzla Award Making the second highest scholastic average in his class is indicative of the work that John Fish did throughout his four years in high school. John has distinguished himself in many ways. He is a member of the South Park Chapter of the National Honor Society and has served as president, secretary, and reporter of this organiza- tion. He is also a recognized leader in other activities. He is co-editor of the 1947 SPINDLETOP and a senior representative in the Student Council and assisted in drafting the constitution for this council. John is a member of the high school mixed chorus and played a leading role, that of Pish-Tush, in THE MIKADO, Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. He was also a mem- ber of the high school band for two years, the Spanish club for two years, and the Student Military Training Corps for two years. Science has been one of John,s chief interests, and because he has done outstand- ing work in the science department and because he has shown promise of a future in science, he has been awarded the distinguished Bausch-Lomb award. John plans to enter Lamar College and then complete work for a chemical engi- neering degree at Rice Institute. BETTY ANNE BELT Honor Girl, American Legion Citizenship Award, and American History Award To Betty Anne Belt goes the highest scholastic honor for the girls. In addition to this honor, the faculty has conferred upon her the American Legion Citizenship Award. During Betty,s four years in high school, she devoted an untold amount of time, thought, and work to the school. She is a member of the South Park Chapter of the National Honor Society and worked diligently in this society while fulfilling the q num: Stuihznta offices of vice-president, secretary and reporter. She is co-editor of the 1947 SPINDLETOP, and was editor of the 1946 GREENIE GUSHER. She was a mem- ber of the high school orchestra four yearsg a member of the Spanish club two years, and served as secretary of the club her junior year. Betty Anne has, perhaps, been one of the busiest girls in her class. She was the winner of the 1947 American Legion Oratorical contest in the city. She has written three plays which have been presented by the Speech Department. Her first produc- tion was a Thanksgiving play, the second, THE NATIVITYg and the third, THE DAWN. Because Betty has made an outstanding record in American history, she has been given the American History award. Betty,s ambition is to be a journalist, therefore she plans to attend the Univer- sity of Texas and major in journalism. We congratulate you, betty. We know you will win. OLIVER FLOYD EBERHARD American Legion Cifizensfoip Award Floyd Eberhard, who has been chosen by the faculty to receive the American Legion Citizenship Award, was always an outstanding member of his class. He is, perhaps, better known for his participation in basketball and baseball and his YMCA work. He lettered for two years in basketball and three years in baseball. He was chosen the outstanding Gra-Y boy at Giles school in 1943. He is now a member of Hi-Y Chapter K, and has been a member of Hi-Y for four years. During 1947, he has served as sponsor of Hi-Y Chapter A. Floyd was vice-president of his freshman class and voted the favorite boy. He was winner of the 1947 citywide oratorical contest, and represented Beaumont dur- ing the Hi-Y conference in Corpus Christi. Being deeply interested in YMCA work, Floyd plans to enter Lamar and major in social science. BILLY BAGGETT john Gray Scholar-Athlete Medal Billy Baggett has distinguished himself as a scholar and as an athlete, and to him goes the honor of being the recipient of the John Gray Medal. He lettered in foot- ball two years and was All District 14AA half-back in 1946, being one of the leading scorers with 54 points. To Billy also goes the honor of Star in Bi-State All-State Game. In this event, he scored two touchdowns. Billy was interested not only in football but also in basketball, baseball,,and track. He lettered two years in basket- ball. Playing forward, he was one of the leading scorers in District 14AA and was selected on 2nd All-District 14AA team. As shortstop, he lettered three years in base- ball. He also lettered one year in track. He is considered one of the elusive broken- field runners in South Park history. In addition to Billy's athletic honors, he has received other honors. He was presi- dent of the sophomore class and was voted the class favorite during his sophomore and junior years. He has been a member of Hi-Y for four years. Billy plans to enter L. S. U. next fall.

The Beaumont Royal Purples finished tirst with no defeats after edging out the Greenie tive 30-28 in their last game. The Greenies were consistent in winning on their home court by losing only two district games, but they were unable to win away from home. At the end ot the season Harland Holst and Vaughn Haney were elected 1947 captains.' There was no al-city team picked this year, but the Greenies placed two on the second team of 14-AA all-district. These two were Billy Baggett and Floyd Eberhard. Baggett was second high scorer tor the Greenie team. Floyd Eberhard won second in the 14-AA scoring race and also won second in the city scoring race. The lettermen were Billy Baggett, Bobby Behn, Eugenie Behn, Sam Bones Blanton, Floyd Eber- hard, Vaughn Haney, Harland Holst, Monroe Iohn- son, Rube Lowrey, Leslie Perley, Augie Saxe, Charles Saxe, Charles Zombie Wilson and manager, Zack Williamson, Ir. Coach Phythian directed the Greenies for his second year. Under his direction the Greenie team ended the season with a better record than the sports writers pedicted.

First, Bob Megarity was voted by his fellow gridsters as the best line blockerg Freddy Clotiaux, the best line tacklerg Bily Baggett, the most valuable and most popular player, Augie Saxe, the best backfield blocker, and Herbert Dupuy, the best backfield tackler. Cinching the most improved player of the season was Iohnnie Walker. Robert Denton claimed the high honor of being the most un- selfish athlete and the Greenie showing the best spirit during the l946 season. Iohn Peebles was recognized as having the highest scholastic aver- age among the varsity players. GBEENIES WIN OPENING TILT BY BOUNDING- UP BIIONCS. I2-0 Bryan. September l3. 1946 Capitalizing on accurate passing and six fum- bles by their opponents, the South Park Greenies turned back the Bryan Broncos, 12 to U, in the opening tilt for both teams. The Greenies racked up their score in the second period when Baggett set up the touchdown on a rifle pass to Augie Saxe, who was pulled down on the Broncs' twenty-seven. Then, spinning around left end on the Parkers' single wing attack, Bagett raced over for the first Greenie six-pointer. The Parkers marked up their second touchdown of the season in the fouth period when Baggett faded back to pass on Bryan's eighteen-yard line, and then scooted around left end for a short run and the score. The Bryan squad came back after that with added lifeg flipping a twenty-yard pass, but the game ended with the Greenies threaten- ing to score with the ball deep in Bryan's end of the field. The Bryan eleven helped the Parkers along to their victory with six timely fumbles, while the polished Greenie offense was not slowed down by a single miscue. To begin the opening game, South Park had Tiller at left end, McCrady at left tackle, Megarity at right end, Hill at left guard, Eggleston at center, Clotiaux at right guard, Mazzagatti at right tackle, Saxte at quarterback, Denton and Baggett at halves, and Dupuy at fullback. Gene Chesson, lohnny Walker, Charles Saxe, Harlan Deem, Ray Van Meter, Bill Morrison, Merle Sarver and Leonard Hatcher were outstanding substitutes. PARKER SPEED DOWNS EAGLES Brownsvile. September 27. 1946 Displaying a brand of alert football and being paced by a slipery, hard running backfield, the South Park High Greenies downed the Brownsville Golden Eagles, 12 to U. The Eagles developed a bad case of fumbilitis and the Greenies pounced on every opportunity to recover the ball. The Greenies miscued several times themselves but only once did they lose that pigskin. The big South Park break came just befone the end of the first halt. After Brownsville intercepted a Greenie pass on the 37, the Eagles marched toward the Greenie goal and, with the help of two penalties, found themselves just one-yard short of pay dirt. THEN IT HAPPENED with a sudden- ness that left the Brownsville fans open-mouthed. Marshall Alford, the man down under, fumbled on the three-yard stripe and Augie Saxe scooped up the ball and raced 101 yards for the six points for the Greenies! For safety's sake six Greenies followed him down the field. Sweeping around left end in the third quarter and being aided by some fine interference, Baggett reeled off sixty-seven yards and a touchdown. The fourth period belonged to the Greenies, al- though they were not able to capitalize on the many Brownsvile fumbles during this quarter. The speedy South Park backs continued to pick up yardage and appeared headed for their third touchdown when a cliping penalty set them back. The Greenies, who later toured Matamoras, Mexico, won the applause of the partisan crowd by their alert playing. GREEN WAVE SHELLACS PURPLES. 20-7 Battering their hosts to a pulp, the South Park Greenies emerged victors by Z0 to 7 over the Beaumont Royal Purples in one of the oldest annual high school grid duels in the state. It was the fourth time in succession that the Greenies had overhauled their most dreaded 14-AA enemy. South Park's four horsemen-Baggett, Denton, Dupuy and Saxe-and her seven mules-Clotiaux, Eggleston, Hill, Mazzagatti, McCrady, Megarity and Tiller-worked together to roll up an impres- sive total of l93 yards from scrimmage to a minus ten for the Ever Loyals. In the first period, the Green Wave began its smashing ground attack when Dupuy lateralled to Saxe, who carried the mail to the Purple 1. From there Dupuy plunged into pay dirt over right tacklel Following the touchdown, Clotiaux kicked the placement, and the Parkers lied 7 to U. In the opening minutes of the second canto, the Parkers increased their lead over the hapless Purples by adding another six-point marker to their cedit. Stoeltje's punt-going out of bounds on the Beaumont 44, for a gain of only five yards. A pass to Bob Megarity for a gain of nineteen yards was outstanding in the drive which was terminated when Saxe charged over from the one- foot marker. The try for the extra point was not good. lllHlHHll The other Greenie tally resulted from a Beau- mont fumble which Tiller recovered on the Purple's 35. Baggett and Dupuy again drove the ball to the -one-foot marker, from which point Bagett hit pay dirt. Clotiaux's kick was good for the extra point. At one time or another during the game, all Senior boys played and showed that they had the good ole Greenie spirit. Although this game always means a great deal to South Park, this year it is more significant than ever in that the Senior Class of 1947 has the honor of being the first class to graduate from South Park that has seen the Green and White victorious over the Purples all four years. GREENIES DEFEATHER GANDERS IN GRAND FINALE. 14-13 Goose Creek. November 15. 1946 South Park High's gallant Greenies, mustering their best brand of heads-up play for the season's finale, edged past the Goose Creek Ganders in a 14-AA scrap. The 14-AA victory enabled Beau- monters to-get revenge for the drubbing at the hands of the Ganders during past seasons. Scampering for twenty-eight yards in the first quarter, Baggett paved the path for the initial South Park touchdown. Herbert Dupuy passed to Graham, and Iody Runnels made good his try for point. Goose Creek scored twice in the second period, marked long distances for each taly. Iack Taylor' rushed over from the five and Iohn Adams kicked the extra point. The Ganders took over the lead later as Taylor plunged over a few plays after he chalked up a sixty-five yard romp. Adam's attempt for the extra point was blocked. The South Parkers were forced to come from behind to clip the Ganders. Trailing by six points at the end of the first half, the Greenies were set up in pay dirt as Mazzagatti recovered a Goose Creek fumble on the Ganders' nine-yard line. Then Bagett, sparkling tailback, took over and in two plays ambled across the goal for the tying points. Iody Runnel's conversion decided the issue in favor of the visitors. U South Park, with Billy Baggett doing the lug- ging, returned a punt sixty-five yards in the third quarter to scoreg but a penalty nullified the bril- liant run. Iody Runnels. out of uniform the nine previous games, literally won the game for the South Parkers with his golden toe. Because of a broken arm he received in a scrimmage game with Lamar College, Iody was physically handicaped until the Gander-Greenie tilt. SOUTH PARK ADDS SAN IACINTO TO LIST OF VICTIMS Running behind a hard-charging Greenie for- ward wall which throttled the Golden Bears com- pletely, Billy Bagett and Augie Saxe each got away for a touchdown to send the South Park Greenies to their second straight win of the sea- son, lZ to U, over the San Iacinto Golden Bears of Houston. Some five thousand fans saw Saxe drive from the Houston six late in the first quarter to climax a thirty-two yard drive for the first South Park touchdown. The Greenies marched sixty-five yards for their other marker midway of the second period, with Billy Baggett's eleven-yard off-tackle iaunt chalking up the six points. The Bruins ran into a rock-ribbed Greenie defense and could never get their T-formation working to an advantage. As a result, the Bears never got past their own forty-five yard line. DRAGONS SLAIN BY PYTHONIANS Nacogdoches. October 4. 1946 The South Park Greenies of Beaumont re- mained undefeated, untied, and unscored on by slaying the Nacogdoches Dragons in the Memorial Stadium of the Stephen F. Austin Teachers Col- lege to the tune of 13 to U. The team, captained by Robert Denton and I. D. McCrady, chalked up six first downs to Nacogdoches' three. Billy Bagett, leading scorer of 14-AA, turned in touchdown galops of seventy-six and fifty-one yards to strengthen his lead. Baggett's first long run came in the first quarter, and he added an- other touchdown in the third period. In addition Saxe, Tiller, Clotiaux and Megarity turned in top performances. AS FOR THE OTHER FOUR- Iust a wee bit more goal line punch and a break here and there and the South Park Greenies could have beaten, or at least tied, the Port Arthur Yellow Iackets who won, 13 to 6. In a sparkling second half come-back, the Parkers, paced by Ted Tiller and Herbert Dupuy, scored once and came within one yard of pay dirt. ln tilts with Pasadena, Orange and Galveston, South Park's Green Wave lost bzy 21 to U, 33 to 6 and Z7 to U, respectively. ,- ,I X ff ,Z ,f . xf 5 ,-1 1 2 fi, 1' Z' 2 k 7 x Z 213' b , X 5 ,Z I 2 l X 2 'S wwf- 5 4, . wx XX f yd 7 Z X I X X Z Z PW?5A'3NiW7VTANVmNjW5AVi5VvOw:Vi5 it v Ccmiwmemts LLGYD LAC K'S FRUST INSURANCE i BURCHFIELD HARDWARE COMPANY i' 'A' HARDWARE FOR EVERY NEED 'A' 'k Phone 4826 334 Fannin Street BEAUMONT.
