SUPER INTENDS NT STERLING CITY, TEXAS To ny student friends: The 1946-1947 school year has been an extremely pleasant one, and there are many things of which we arte justly proud. In numbers our student body is rather small, but in quality exceptionally high. Most students have had to participate in every extra-curricular activity of our school. It has indeed been gratifying to see you boys and girls assume numerous responsibilities without so much as a question. Moreover, our physical school plant is improving for with the addition of the lighted football field, we possess an asset any school would be happy to own. World War II is over and the fighting has ceased, but the problems of a new era are confronting us. We feel equal to the task. Let us have as our objective The Best School in the District . With this goal in mind, let us urge all to finish high school and, if possible, college. We should bear in mind that only about two percent of all people are self-supporting in old age. Our chances to be self-supporting are directly proportional to our early preparation. Let nothing hinder you from being well educated individuals with well rounded personalities. FACULTY MRS.

Eleven years ago the first grade included, among others. Silly Vern Davis, Joe David Crossno, Lora Mae Humble, and Bonnie Ruth King, all of whom are still together in 1947 . In the fifth grade the class of '47 took in Norvin Brown and Joseph Blanek. As the time for commencement drew near, there were six full-fledged Seniors - Joseph, Norvin, Joe David, Billy Vern, Lora Mae, and Bonnie Ruth. Betty Young of Abilene was in the class until midterm. In its Freshman year, 1943-1944, the class elected Joe David president and Evelyn Vernon sponsor. Bonnie Ruth was nominated fish candidate for Hallowe’en Queen. She was also one of the cheer leaders. The highlight of the year in the minds of the Freshmen was their initiation by the upper classmen. During their first year in high school they sponsored three school dances and had a picnic in the spring. Their teachers included j. R. Hale, Superintendent; Mrs. Harvey Hennigan, Math and General Science; Mildred Atkinson, Homemaking; H. M. Carter, Agriculture; Evelyn Vernon, English; and Mrs. A. T. Bratton, Girls' Physical Education. In 1944-1945 the present Seniors were rollicking Sophomores, proud to have one year of high school to their credit. They were under the leadership of Norvin Brown, President; and H. M. Carter, Sponsor. Bonnie Ruth, escorted by Norvin, was again nominee for Hallowe'en Queen. In athletics Billy Vern and Norvin played basketball for the Eagles; Norvin was also on the track team. During the year Lora Mae and Bonnie Ruth represented the school at homemaking meetings at Sweetwater and Coleman. The big social event of the year was a picnic at San Angelo. 0. T. Jones was back again as superintendent; A. L. Davis was the new principal, coach, and math teacher; Mrs. John Wade was the history teacher. The next year, 1945-1946, found the class of '47 full-fledged Juniors.. Bobby Ivy, a new student, was elected President and Mrs. John Wade was sponsor. When Bobby entered the Navy in February, Norvin, vice-president, took charge. Lora Mae was in the race for Hallowe'en Queen. Billy Vern and Norvin played football; Norvin also participated in basketball and track; Bonnie Ruth and Lora Mae were on the volleyball team. Lora Mae represented the school at the homemaking meet at Forsan. Bonnie Ruth won the Lions’ Club award for good citizenship. As Juniors their Dig undertaking was the production of the three-act play, CLASS HISTORY A Ready-Made Family , in February. From the proceeds of the play they took that year's Seniors to San Angelo and Christoval for a half day’s entertainment. L. C. McDonald assumed duties of principal, coach and math teacher at mid-term, and Mrs. Homer Brown was girls' physical education teacher. At length the long-awaited Senior year arrived. Although few in number, the class had promises of being an outstanding one. Lora Mae was elected president, and Evelyn Vernon was named sponsor. Their new teachers were Mrs. G. W. Tillerson, business and social studies, and G. W. Tillerson, coach. The Seniors were well represented in the field of sports; Norvin and Billy Vern played football and basketball, while Bonnie Ruth and Lora Mae were on the volleyball team. During football season Lora Mae was cheer leader. Bonnie Ruth was elected Hallowe'en Queen; her escort was Billy Vern. The first social event of the year was a wiener roast at the Humbles in September. On November 11, they sponsored a dance in the gym after the Armistice Rodeo. Their Christmas party was an enjoyable affair at the Ted Browns. At mid-term Betty Young returned to Abilene, leaving the six students who began their schooling in Sterling to Graduate in May. The Kid Day celebration on April 1, was a high point in their year’s fun. On April 26, the Seniors were to present their play, and during the first week-end in May they planned to go to Carlsbad Caverns. Their baccalaureate sermon was to be on May 18, and the commencement exercises were scheduled for May 22. The Seniors were anticipating many graduation festivities for the last of school. They were happy that they were achieving graduation from high school; yet they could not help having a feeling of sadness at the thought of leaving a school that had meant so much to them during the past eleven years. CLASS PROPHECY ? It was one bright spring day near the end of school when the Seniors of 1947 visited a fortune teller in a city nearby. Many times in fun they had consulted her, but never had they been so serious before. This time they had come in a group to inquire concerning their lives ten years from then. What will we be doing in 1957? they asked. The clairvoyant pushed aside her tea leaves and her crystal ball and led the Seniors into a darkened room. After seating her customers, she proceeded to flash moving pictures on a screen. In a twinkling, ten years passed before their astonished eyes. Billy Vern was the subject of the first picture. A decade ago he went off to college; but after unexpectedly inheriting a million dollars from an unknown uncle in South Africa, he gave up the idea of higher education and came back to Sterling City to spend his fortune on himself But suddenly he had a change of heart and donated the entire million to the betterment of his dear alma mater, Sterling High. People were saying that a more free-hearted man never lived in West Texas. Next, the Seniors witnessed an episode in Joe David's future. Joe David had known for a long time that he was going to study medicine, but evidently he was not too sure which branch of medicine he was interested in, for in 1957 he was a very successful veterinarian, doctoring every horse and cow in Sterling County. By 1957 Joseph's artistic inclinations had at last overcome his youthful desire to be an auto mechanic. In fact, he had already had several very successful exhibitions of his oil paintings in New York and Chicago. His most famous painting, Sterling Sand Storm , had just sold for $50,000.00. s Next the Seniors saw Lora Mae bid her family goodbye and go merrily off to college to major in home economics. But she soon changed her course to physical education and graduated after six years of intensive study. She accepted a position at Garden City as girls' volleyball coach (the traitor!). Perhaps she wasn't a traitor after all, because in her four years of coaching, Garden City had not won a game with Sterling. Norvin had made quite a name for himself as a concert pianist. In 1957 he and his talented wife, Jeane Claire, were touring the country, playing piano duets in all the concert halls. Already they were turning down offers to appear in foreign capitals. Their future plans were to return to Sterling City and spend their old age peacefully on some out-of-the-way ranch. The last pictures flashed on the screen dealt with Bonnie Ruth's life a decade hence. She was working as a stenographer, although she kept rather busy after hours turning down proposals of matrimony. If and when the right man came along, she said, she would gladly put aside the typewriter and take up the rolling pin. Still a bit dazed by the uncanny revelations, the Seniors thanked the fortune teller and headed toward home. No doubt, each Senior had the same question on the tip of his tongue. Would 1957 bring to them what they had just seen, or was it all in fun? After all, who knew for sure? CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1947, in six individual and distinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made. We give and bequeath the following items: To the football team of next year, Norvin's ability. We couldn’t induce Billy Vern to surrender his. To Mr. Jones, the balance in our treasury, to be used in buying a pair of rubber shoes for detective work. With Jackie around he will need them. To Billy Ralph, Joseph's secret for getting out of school rvery day at 1:30. Billy didn’t have much luck this year. To anybody who needs it, Billy Vern's bluff. Apply early and avoid the rush. To Trinabeth Reed, Bonnie Ruth's know-how at getting orchids. Jacqueline can help out, too. To Carolyn Foster, Lora Mae’s method of collecting money from any and everybody. we never saw a senior class that didn't have to collect money. To 8 i1 1y Hudson, Joe David’s formula for making good grades. Billy would settle for Joseph's report card, but Joseph is keeping his card as a souvenir of 1947. All the rest of our property, whatsoever it may be, we give and bequeath to next year's Senior Class for its sole use and benefit. We do hereby appoint the sponsor of the 1948 sole executor of this our last will and Senior Class of testament.

Workouts, two per day, swimming, boating, fishing and eating were the chief forms of recreation. The conditioning paid off on September 20 as the War Birds rocked the Coahoma Bulldoqs, defending champions of the District, only to see Wayne Devaney slip away once too often on a punt return and put them behind 13-7 with only 30 seconds remaining in the ball game. Four plays, Tweeaie to Brown, Tweedle to Davis, Tweedle to King and to King again over the goal line, scored for Sterling and the game ended in a tie. That was broken on the night of November 8 when these two teams got together again. This time Sterling eked by 25-24. Again it was Wayne Devaney of the Bulldogs and Jackie Tweedle of the Eagles doing the most damage. On September 27 the Eagles were crippled. Tweedle's ankle didn't respond to treatment, but he played anyway. Smith couldn't work out due to unavoidable circumstances but was available for the game. The game was a see-saw affair with the two teams evenly matched. The reserve strength of Forsan began to tell. The score was 19-18. All season long Sterling suffered from inability to make extra points. October 4 found the Eagles strutting their stuff on a newly lighted field before the home folks. This time Knott furnished little opposition as the score rolled up 72-13. Everybody scored and everybody played everywhere. October 11 was the same song as last week. Loop came down and went down — 56-12. Eagles scored at will. On October 18 Courtney's big bruisers put a scare into the locals; the latter led 20-6 until the last few moments but the final score was 26-20 — proof that these games can be explosive. On October 25 after three weeks at home, the Eagles journeyed to Mertzon. Tweedle romped for 4 touchdowns — passed for 3 more as Sterling won 48-12. I On November 1, big bad Water Valley beat a Sterling team that could do nothing right. The Wildcats were easily the class of the loop, but the Eagles muffed at least 3 scoring opportunities. The score was 22-0 in favor of Water Valley. November 8, Sterling got back into the win column with the already reported 2 5-24' win over Coahoma. November 15 was the game of the year -- Garden City. Hudson and Tweedle got out of bed to help their team mates administer a shellacking to the Bearcats — score 32-12. Thus ended a successful season __ 6 won __ 2 1ost __ j tied. sterling finished 3rd in the District, standing behind Water Valley and Forsan. The lights made it possible for many more to attend. Tweedle was an All-District Man; Davis, hard runner, was on the second team; Brown, pass receiver, received honorable mention. Only nine boys were out, but all of them could return. Brown definitely will not; Davis may; the others must. So — watch the Eagles next year!!

The boys began to find their hoop and won 4 of their 6 games in the second round, finishing 3rd place in the conference. The War Birds went to the finals of the Coahoma tournament where they were defeated by Stanton. The Eagles finished the season by defeating Coahoma 20 to 17 in a 3 minute overtime. The team is looking forward to next season as 9 of their ll lettermen will return. VOLLEYBALL The 1947 volleyball squad included only two letternen from last year. Bonnie Ruth King and Jacqueline Everitt. This year's captain was Lora Mae Humble. In addition to Humble, King, and Everitt. other 1947 letterften are La Verne King, Trinabeth Reed, Joan King, Jeane Claire Lee and Margaret Ritter. Carolyn Foster was manager and Mrs. Homer L. Brown Coach. The Sterling Club attended two invitation tournaments during the season, one at Water Valley and another at Big Spring. The District Tournament was held at Big Spring in April. Teams with which Sterling played games during the 1947 season included Garden City, Water Valley, Big Spring, Ballinger, and Eldorado. Although the Sterling City girls were good sports and put forth much effort, they did not have a very successful season. But they are looking forward to a better year in 1948, have all lettermen back except two. expecially since they will JUNIOR HIGH ATHLETICS Edwin Aiken, Elroy Butler, Leroy Butler, Pascal Brown and Boo Mitchell attended the High School football training camp. When these boys returned from camp, they were joined in workout by nine other boys. We opened the season at Garden City and with the help of R. B. Mitchell, Dees, and Groshans, the Eaglets took Garden City. On the return game, R. B. and the Eaglets had little trouble winning 26 to 6. The Eaglets journeyed to Forsan and met a much heavier team. After trailing 25-7 at half time, the boys took to the air and only the watch stopped a victory. The Eaglets then defeated Water Valley in two games without much opposition. Forsan came to Sterling and won the final game 33 to 21. The Eaglet basketball squad enjoyed a very successful season, winning over Big Spring, Forsan, and Garden City. Some of the boys are looking forward to trying out for the High School team next season. Even though the Junior girls volleyball team was composed of inexperienced players, they played hard each game and did show good sportsmanship. No matter what the score, our girls were not defeated in spirit. Garden City and Water Valley beat us this year, but we hope to correct our mistakes and emerge as the winner next year. FAVOR I TES B EST CITIZEN NORVIN BROWN To Norvin Brown goes the honor of being named best citizen in Sterling City High School in 1947. The local Lions Club annually awards a trophy to one student, chosen because he is outstanding in citizenship, leadership, scholarship and participation in extra-curricular activities. Norvin is very popular with all who know him. As a student he is above average. In athletics he has excelled and is the owner of two letters in football and three in basketball. He has served efficiently as a member of the Annual Staff. His ability in music is excellent, and i1; is in this field that he plans to continue his education in San Angelo College next September. May success be yours, Norvin.
