Up here in high school v ith the rest of the older ones. We surely feel grown up too, jwe have worked hard trying to elect our candidate as the carnival queen and we nearly succeeded. We lacked only a few votes. We weren’I down, though, and we swore by yoq noon to have [ the next years’ queen and the next and the nextjj jllothing much happened to us when the Seniors initiated us in chapel on Kid Day, V c had to act silly and that was abtfu| all. (Sure will be glad when we’re .Seniors); .’Two of our girls went to the Homemaking Rally 1 in Galveston, and we had some princesses in the Hay Pete. 1939--Y7c arc the in-botweenor now.

Only one more year and v e’re Seniors. We are definitely upper classmen now. Don’t let anyone tell us v c re not. |Thc girls haven’t been 'able to study much at first for looking at the new teacher, but eventually v e got down to concentrating on the subjects.. jAnother carnival, another queen. This time it’s I Jamie Sue who has the honor. We arc still sticking to our pledge and v c have but one more j to go. This event made us realize our importance because later the seniors included us in their parties.

Most of the power should come from these seniors: Tom Dee, Weldon, Fred, Johhny, and Billy, Y e hope next year’s jackets have bi-district champions on the sleeves. Senior basket-bailers will be Weldon, Tom Deo, Fred, Johnny, Dan, Billy, Scooter, and Joe. If next year’s basketball and football teams arc as good as this year's we think that the senior class I should be proud of these boys, iThe Senior girls arc also expected to come out first in scholastic events. Mozcllc is dreaming about the A-l volley ball team evcrp hc is expecting next year. Senior representa-i tives will be Arlene, E'Louise, Gcorgic Belle, | Frances, Maudinc, and Mozcllc. These girls ; arc going to prove keen competition against j other girls. Last year the whole team worked hard, so next year wo expect to work harder. |From the very first days in September when our rings will arrive, the year v ill be filled with activity. During the fall we shall present our play. We hope that it will be as big a success as Don’t Take My Penny , so we can leave something for S. C. II. S. to remember us by. The other events will be Kid Day, Senior Day, Junior-Senior entertainment, and of course, graduation which will be the crowning glory of our high school days. It makes us feel grown-up to think of graduation and taking our place among the millions of employees, yet we seniors will wish that we can be a freshman in high school and go through just once more. Well, there goc the bell reminding us to pass to classes, so we’ll leave our dreams 'till next year when we can make them come true. j Sterling School jj ) j Dcr.r friend, j ; i j When we |r££Cg f■ we were just another hunch j j of silly fish. We may have been the silliest | j that has ever entered Sterling High. There j i were about twenty of us. Charles Jucrgensen | was our first new recruit; Jerry Snead came j i! later in the year. i jWe had a hard time learning to which class we j should go next. We had been used to the I teacher’s coming to us instead of our going j to the teachers, but as the old saying goes, | j ”If the mountain won’t come to Mohammed, Mo- | j hammed must go to the mountain”.. The upper | i classmen got very disgusted with us and did j ! not hesitate to let us knov it. I I The annual initiation was imposed upon us, but I j we think that the joke was on the upper class- | men, because,..- we enjoyed it as much as they j 5 did. The boys were stunning in their long il dresses and high-heeled shoes. The girls v ere J| j ’’babyish” looking in those infant clothes. I How we are sophomores--still silly and not the j| j least bit sophisticated. V o lost four members j j but gained two new ones. Prank McCabe, who rc- I | turned after four years to bo a member of our 1 class again, and Raymond Hiliier We find ■ that many of our classmates have boon in school j together for nine years. j jA pretty Saint Patrick’s class party was given _ il in the home of Marjorie Eumble. J Our picnic was our culminating entertainment. Thc| afc half-day spent at Mick Reed’s ranch was filled 1 = - with motor-boating, swimming, and eating. We | jj attempted to find the sandwich saturation pointi j of the boys, wc wonder why some of them did j not founder- jWe got into the lime light with our presenting i our onc-act play ”A Wedding”.

All good things must come to an end, j for our mammas brought us back in the car. ! i Bangs and pigtails arc the latest fads along with sugar-bowl hair cuts which surely look sweet. j i We have learned all about H-k-N-C-Y. i i Second grade—We.arc disillusioned children, ! for, dear diary, the hard cruel world has j informed us that there is neither an Easter ! bunny nor a Santa Claus. i HoorayJ our first spellers. Boy’ arc we learning things.' I1 i Third grade—Our feet and hair arc having a race to sec which will grow the faster. { i Fourth grade--In the spring a young man’s [ fancy often turns to thoughts of—but, I beg your pardon, we’ve been romancing all j winter. We now look like leopards, for we ij are all sporting assorted sizes, of ink spots, j! for we arc all proud owners of fountain pens.i i Every day we walk the Twenty-five Steps to i Heaven. i Fifth grade—Red hair is now red pepper. Pigtails are- the latest fad. Jackie draws pictures, while Iris writes love letters to Rubber Neck. History is the mystery, of the century. j This year has been very dull with everybody’s having moved or almost getting killed. , I Sixth £rade—At last Jackie has fallen from a bicycle and for Paula. Tatar’s new heart throb is going for Annie Lou. This has posi-j tivcly been an uneventful year. Seventh grade—Well, all of our so-called tri- j ancular love affairs have become wrccktnngledi for Paula has just had a run-in with Jackie; } she seems to prefer an older man. Annie Lou |Jq; a marked attraction for the choosey type. Our teachers have received such lovely gifts; namely, a seven-foot dead rattle snake and a i bat. Jackie was sent to the office for keepj ing a kitten wrapped in Paula’s scarf in his I desk. The'kitten meowed until the teacher pulled it out by its tail. Bobbie doesn’t scorn to be so good in memorizing poetry, so he has written some of his own as .f eJLlows: Little Jack Horner sat in a corner Watching the flappers come by Along came a Beauty And he said, Hi.’ Cutie And that’s how he got his black eye. We have had to work hard this year to get our pretty blue diplomas. We have three cxplorin, pupils in our room who like to push bicycles and drink rain water. Ninth grade--Aron ’ t we smart? Wc skipped a grade! The upper classmen surely fixed us The boys got in on some good old-fashioned lichensn and the girls had to wear their clothes wrong-} side outwards, carry a potato in a spoon, and { walk backwards for a whole day. On April Poolj the Seniors hailed us before Kangaroo Court. i Next year we shall.be sophisticated sophomores. We arc looking forward to getting revenge on those future freshmen. High school is just school to us now. Goodby to eight happy years. VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE ACTIVITIES thirty-two hoys enrolled in V. A. courses for the 1941-42 term in the Sterling High School. Fourteen hoys from the ninth and tenth grades made up V, A. I and II; twelve eleventh grade hoys, V. A. Ill; six seniors, V. A. IV. ?here. was a scramble among the hoys rushing a-round over the county selecting feeder lambs and calves. After visiting and observing sheep j from practically every Sterling County flock, the hoys made their decision. £n addition to selecting and feeding projects, the classes began a study of -the common agricultural problems of this community and section of the country. Stress was placed on the ranch-j men and farmers’. part in. producing food in the present world crisis. The hoys emphasized Secretary Wickard’s statement: Food will v in the war and make the peace that follows . Problems, studied, consisted.of better practices in producing beef cattle, sheep, hogs, dairy products, and poultry-without impairing the soil and range. j how time came for the hard-working Future Ranchers and Farmers. The boys trimmed and fitted their j; lambs for this important part of their year’s work. At the County Show on February 21, L. B. Hallmark won the top-lamb award with a Bade Brother’s lamb. Tom Dec Davis won reserve Championship' with a J. T. Davis lamb. Fred Litchcll came out on top again with a W. IT. and L. R. Reed wet calf. Jack I.litchell had the top dry-lot calf. Srhc San Angelo show followed the local show and L. B. Hallmark was the top winner of the local boys, winning second, sixth, and tenth in the lamb classes. The car-load exhibit of the class ranked second in fast competition. Five F. F. A. boys, Ross Foster, Fred Mitchell, Ewing Fowler McEntire, L. B. Hallmark, and y y y y y y y Jim Bob Clark, wont with r. carload of lambs to � the Port Worth Show, where L. B. Hallmark again} was the top winner. The carload placed second i and was sold at four cents per pound. [ y Practically all the lambs and calves had been dis-[ posed of when Joe Conger, L. B. Hallmark, Jack y Mitchell, and Ileal J. pLeed left for the Big } Spring and Odessa Shows. Jack Mitchell had i top ca . at Big Spring, and L. B. Hallmark }■ had tfte champion lamb at Odessa. The big i winner was Joe Conger, whose lamb entry was [ made champion. y y Possibly the top honor of the year for any boy i in the local chapter was made by Ross Foster, } second vice-president of the Texas P. F. A. y He w as named the Humber One F. F. A. boy of j the state. Ross also passed the American if Farmer Degree application and will go to } Kansas City in the fall to receive this i| degree.

FOOTBALL TIIE EAGLE WAY jjrhc following boys received football honor jackets: Lloyd Sharp, Wihsten Churchill, Dan Dearen, Billie Chesney, Ton Doe Davis, Fred Mitchell, Johnny Dawson, Weldon Philips, Jack Mitchell, and John Lancaster. Billy J. Littlefield and Tonnic Augustine received gold miniature footballs. Vc pause in this article to pay tribute to Lloyd Sharp and Winston Churchill. Those two boys. bile Sterling High School Eagles started their 1941 football campaign under the direction of Qoachcs Burnett and Brown on the afternoon of September 2. The following boys reported for practice: Captain Lloyd Sharp, Winston Churchill, Dan Dearen, Johnny Dawson, Billie Chesney, Fred Mitchell, Ton Doe Davis, Weldon Philips, Jack Mitchell, Billy J. Littlefield, Tommie Augustine, John Lancaster, Durwood Chapman, and Jackie Durham. jPew people realized that those 14 boys who ! began to get themselves into shape on that eventful day would place Sterling City on top of the six-nan football world by winning both the district and bi-district championships. However, those boys were determined to give their utmost for the good of their team, their school, and their coaches. Leader in this determined effort was Captain Sharp, who by his unconquerable spirit and his self-inposed training rules, set an example for the ether boys to.fellow in school, out on-the practice field and outside of school. As a result of this leadership and 100 per cent co-operation, the Eagles went through a. rigid 10-game schedule untied and undefeated, scoring a total of 356 points while holding their opp onents to 84 points. ■■ Leader in this scoring parade was Captain Sharp with a total of 85 points. i y departing seniors, will long remain in the memory of n01d Sterling Hi for their outstanding athletic achievements. Hats off to them--may we .get more like them. At the end of spring training a football game was played between the 1942 squad and the Exes. The high school team defeated the Exes by the score of 32-6. Wo hope this result is a forecast of brighter things to cone. Boys, footballers of 1942, let’s make football for Sterling High School better this fall than it was last. That is a big task, but you boys can do it. The Sterling City football team should.have an added incentive to work next fall as the players will have new suits. Also, as defending district champions, every other team in the conference will try its utmost to dethrone the Eagles. Prior to the fall of � 41, Sterling City was looked upon as an easy” team. Every team wanted the Eagles on its schedule for each felt that this would be a walkr-ovcr. Last year things were different. As the Eagles won game after game the opponents as well as the fans were surprised. Ilany of the opposing coaches were of the opinion that Sterling City was a lucky team and not a good team. Uext fall every team in the district will have its eyes on the Eagles, and each will be looking forward to the chance to knock-off” the defending champions. The members of the Sterling City team must remember that to be v.inners they must live right train faithfully, and never underrate an opponent. A.;y o men ember this statement i Out on the football field today go the leaders of tomorrow . llext fall the Eagles have only si;: district games; Two each with Forsan, Water Valley, and Garden City. VOLLEY BALL jin 1941-42, the girls of Sterling High School had the strongest volley hall team in the history j of the school. They won second place in the ) district competition. During the season the j girls won 8 games while losing only 6 games. J They entered a tournament at Barnhart and j reached semi-finals before being eliminated. ) In this tournament Lena Pindt, who was acting j captain, was selected as all-tournament player j and received a gold miniature volley ball. ! The following girls were on the team: Lena Pindt, j Eozelle King, Arlene Abernathy, Jerrie Snead, ji Sue Evcritt, Jessie Vern Martin, E1Louise j Luclcett, Georgie Belle Martin, Frances Hudson, Prances Blanek, Alma Lawson, Zelma Rac Purvis, 5 Maudine Hallmark, and Mario Little. Sterling j City should have a stronger team next year as | all pf these girls will be back with the ex- ccption of Lena, j j PEP SQUAD f jRahJ Rail I Rah.’ A hearty yell for the small yet •J rip-roaring cheering section. {Ever present wit those winning Eagles of T41 were !| young and attractive misses clothed in purple j| and gold led by Hitzi Broome, Sue Evcritt, and i June Augustine. H !of all our fancy formations (I hesitate to call j all of them excellent but they were a step in ( the proper direction), the V for Victory was j most effectively carried out in the game vs. f Coahoma. At the half red, white, and blue | pom-poms” were placed on the gridiron by the Sterling eaglettes. The military-dhill j done in the school colors was timely, i jPraiscs go the leaders and conscripted boys | for the Thursday-night rallies for their faith-J fullness in practice. jflic Eaglcs bogan the season with only two returning lettornon, W ins ton Churchill and Ira Langford, These hoys were chosen b as co -captains for the ye BASKETBALL---1941 -o2 ! team nates their lr. She early season record was not very impressive hut the hoys gained valuable experience by losing to such teams as San Angelo, Lamesa, and Wink. The pre-conference season closed with a hang: as the hoys started clicking. They downed San Angelo and then won their annual All West Texas Invitation Tournament by defeating two of their outstanding rivals, Forsan end Water Valley. i he Eagles then seemed ready for district competition and later proved it by finishing the District schedule with 10 victories and no losses. This gave then the District Championship and a right to participate in the Regional meet to he held in Abilene. before entering the Regional Meet, the Eagles entered an invitation tournament at Barnhart and again came through with the first place r trophy. fhe season came to a close when the Eagles lost in the first round of the Regional Meet at Abilene.
