0 PUBLISHED £ Y TH E ANNUAL STAFF V STERLING CITY HIGH SCHOOL STER LING CITY TEXAS 19 4 7 - 46 DEDICATION We hereby dedicate this edition of the Eagle’s Eye to the 1947 and ’48 football and basketball champions and their coach. It was their fighting spirit, cooperation, sportsmanship, and hard work that brought so much recognition to our school this year. It was their triumphs that caused us to travel far and wide to cheer them on to victory. Such names as Hudson, Tweedle, King, Smith, and Mitchell will live long in Sterling Athletic History. May our future teams strive to do as well as our fighting Eagles of ’48. OUR CAMPUS BOARD OF EDUCATION Riley J. King Joe Emery Robert Foster H. M. Knight, President O. T. Jones, Superintendent Jeff Davis O. E. Deal Malcolm Black, Secretary John Reed Looking back over this year,we are proud of our many accomplishments. Especially are we happy that the Eagles were declared bi-district winners in football and district winners in basketball. For the high school with the smallest enrollment in the district, these honors are enviable records and speak well for the coaches, faculty, players, and student body as well as for the excellent support from our community. We should remember that in our United States there are more automobiles, telephones, and similar modern conveniences than in the rest of the world combined. This very fact should be a challenge for us to continue our education so that our democracy may survive. Recently an eminent authority on world conditions stressed that American schools can preserve civilization in the next five years. We are, therefore, charged with a great responsibility. Let us not fail ourselves, our neighbors, and our posterity . 0. T. Jones Sup e rin tendent G. W. Tiller son High School Principal W. C. Duff Elementary Principal as(i4AjP t Mrs. Homer Brown, B. S.

CLASS HISTORY It is with pleasure that the members of the Senior class of 1948 look backward over the past eleven years of our lives. Most of us began our upward climb to our Senior year in 1937. Of the eight members of our class, five started the journey together: Bobby King, Billy Lee Smith, R. T. Smith, Carolyn Foster, and Jacqueline Everitt. In 1944 we began our long awaited freshman year. Donald Gill, Jackie Tweedle, Mac Mathis, Claudell Reed, Norman Butler, and Douglass Chapman became new members of our class. Miss Evelyn Vernon acted as our sponsor and we elected R. B. Mitchell president. Melva Jeane Ward was chosen as candidate for the Halloween Queen. Her escort was Bobby King. According to custom, the freshmen were initiated, and a rough initiation it was. The junior class, lacking two members for its play cast, chose Carolyn Foster and Billy Hudson to take the parts. In the spring we had our usual picnic. We lost Edna Ruth Littlefield to Brady High School. When our sophomore year rolled around we found that we had gained three new members: Duane Cape, Melvin Noak, and Jeane Lee, who had come from way out west after hearing of the sterling qualities of Sterling City High School. It so happened that Jeane was elected as Halloween princess, and selected Melvin as her prince. H. M. Carter was our sponsor. The junior class did not have enough members to stage their play, “A Readymade Family”, so they asked three sophomores, Jacqueline Everitt, Jeane Lee, and Carolyn Foster, to take part in it. As a reward for being in the play they were allowed to participate in the junior-senior day. Eugenia Daves and Eula Mae Mitchell left school in the end of our sophomore year. Junior year. Only two more years to go. Norman Butler withdrew at the beginning of this year. The year of 1946-1947 passed quickly, since there were many activities which always come with being a junior. The junior class presented the play, ‘‘Good Gracious Grandma”, with the following cast: Jackie starred as Grandma; P-Sam, a colored house-boy, played by Bobby; R. T. was Henry Breckenridge; Helen and Cecile Allen were played by Jacqueline and Carolyn, respectively; Mrs. Lennoxl by Estelle; Delicia, a colored maid, byJeane; and policemen were Billy Hudson and Billy Lee Smith. Junior-Senior day was another high-light in 1947.. We entertained the senior class with a trip to Christoval, Texas. Everyone enjoyed this immensely. We chose and ordered our senior rings this year because the time was drawing nigh when we would be eligible to wear them. Mrs. G. W. Tillerson was sponsor of our class. At the close of the year Melva Jeane Ward and Claudell Reed withdrew from school; Estelle Reed moved to California, and Jeane Lee moved to Hamilton, Texas. We then had seven members in our class. At last, the year that we had waited ten years for came. We became full-fledged, if not, “dignified” seniors. Blanch Miller of Brady joined our number. She graduated at mid-term, but plans to attend graduation exercises with us. We worked this year at several projects to make money for our trip to Galveston in May. Among the things we did were sell magazine subscriptions, take charge of the concession stand at the Independent Basketball Tournament, stage a chocolate wedding and box supper, and give the play, “The Campbells are Coming”. From the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes we chose Elizabeth Hildebrand, Joan King, and Trinabeth Reed respectively to take part in our play. The cast is as follows: Carolyn as Ma Brannigan; her grandchildren, Kaye, Dick, and Betty by Jacqueline, Jackie, and Elizabeth; Cyrus Scud-der played by R. T.; his son, Jeff, by Bobby; Catalpa, a maid, by Joan; her father by Billy Lee; Mrs. Augusta Campbell by Trinabeth; and her son, Kingston, by Billy. CLASS PROPHECY June 20, 1958 Dear Diary, Tonight was a happy occasion, for it was the long-awaited date for the annual Alumni Banquet. It was of unusual interest because special recognition was given to the class of only one decade ago - the class of which I was a member. Every graduate of ’48 was present. As we entered we were greeted by Carolyn Foster, who is now Home Economics instructor at Sterling High School. Recalling the strict reins of Miss Atkinson and Mrs. Davis, Carolyn has turned the Home Economics department into the social center of S.H.S., complete with snack-bar, pin-ball machines and pool tables. Much credit has been given to Miss Foster for making this the most popular department in school. But we understand that Carolyn is not very happy for she is still waiting for Bobby to ask that all-important question. Only a few more days remain before she will reach the age of an old maid. As the evening goes on we met our own R. T. Smith. After talking with him we found that he has finally persuaded Pat to take the title of Mrs. R.T. also tells us that he has changed the spelling of his name to Smythe since he feels that Smith is so common, and that he is the owner of Big Spring’s most fashionable beauty salon, Smythe’s Shoppe. But, his business is not doing so well right now; its future is menaced by the unfair damage claims of his many lovely feminine patrons who have been persuaded to use a skin food he invents, and which leaves many of them with disfiguring scars. But we wish him luck. Turning to the right, we saw Blanche Miller and her husband, Pete, who is now owner of the Brady Frozen Food plant. Blanche told us that she has recently made a large fortune as the inventor of a collapsible kitchenette which canbe carried around in the pocket, slid under the bed, or will shut up like an accordion and hang upon the wall. I’m sure that pleases her; in fact, I don’t think she would object if the kitchen disappeared completely. Behold, a big black cigar approached us. Behind it we saw Billy Lee Smith. He told us good news concerning an oil well he had just brought in south of town. We have always thought that someday Billy would find something other than hard water if he kept drilling wells. Mr. Smith holds a very prominent position with the Dig and Dig Drilling Company; he can even afford a private secretary and this has solved all his problems on how to make the typewriter spell correctly. Billy Lee is living alone right now -- women always were a problem to him. During the evening we talked with Jacqueline Everitt. She told us that she was very happily married, but I do not recall her husband’s name. They, with their two small children, live in Utah. Jacqueline, however, still finds time to pursue a career - she is the county librarian in this remote section of the Rocky Mountains where very few people are on the level. Then we saw an old friend, Billy Hudson. He is still as handsome as ever, even though close examination would show a few gray streaks in his once black hair. Billy is now a famous physician in Dallas. Dr. Hudson has recently been presented an award of honor for an accomplishment in which many other outstanding doctors had failed - he cured a girl who had hiccoughed for 159 days by telling her one of his funny stories. On our left, we found Jackie Tweedle looking like someone just in from Hollywood’s number one millionaire bachelor. Jackie spends many hours designing pink, green, and orchid bathrooms for movie stars. He hopes that after they see these bathrooms they do notproveto be shooting stars. Before the wonderful evening was over, we saw Bobby King, our own Class President. He is now a most prominent ranchman in West Texas. We learned that he has almost realized his life-long ambition -to accumulate three million so that he can offer Carolyn security when he acquires the nerve to ask her to change her name. For this nerve condition he is faithfully taking treatments - dating her at least once each week. That is all for tonight, dear diary, but I am looking forward to 1968 when we plan to have another reunion. CLASS WILL We, the class of ’48, being of sound mind and good disposition, and considering it is fairly well settled that we are to graduate, do hereby devise, give and bequeath our many possessions to the following institutions and persons in this our first and last will and testament. To Sterling School, a large barrel of sparkling gratitude drawn from the deepest wells of memory, and kept cool and refreshing by large chunks of cold common sense supplied by our Superintendent, Mr. Jones. To the Principal, Mr. Tillerson, a new book of jokes. To the Faculty, a handsome,grindstone inscribed “In memory of 1948.” To the Class of ’49 we hereby bequeath our ability to make money for a Senior trip along with the balance of our bank account - we hope it is not in the red. For the Sophomore Class, a locket containing a list of our mistakes as a class, and a large trunk containing the records of our scholastic, athletic, social and individual attainments. For the Freshmen, our class picture, for their inspiration when the way seems hard and long. To O. F. Carper, R. T. Smith leaves his alarm clock. It is hoped that in the future O. F. will arrive at 9:15 rather than 9:30. To Edmund Heacock, Bobby King bequeaths his ability to collect alltournament awards in basketball. Do not mar his record, Edmund. Jacqueline Everitt leaves her studious manner to Margaret Ritter. Now we will have another brain trust in Sterling High. This, of course, is just to keep the teachers happy. Billy Lee Smith regretfully leaves his set of “Charles Atlas” books to Duard Grosshan to make him the “body beautiful” of S. H. S. To Dick Bailey, Carolyn Foster leaves her ability as Editor of the Annual, with hopes for a good edition in ’49. Jackie Tweedle leaves his place as captain! of the football team to Harold Baker with caution concerning the Eagles’ record of ’47. Billy Hudson leaves Sterling High School - it’s about time. . . . Blanche Miller leaves her ability to get a husband to Trinabeth Reed. We do hereby appoint the President of the Senior Class of 1949 sole executor of this our last will and testament.

The Eagles took district and bi-district honors despite the loss given them by Coahoma in the first conference game of the season. A determined group of players overrode the strongest competition the district could provide and came out on top of the pack still strong. The title of Bi-District was bestowed upon them after playing Ford Davis to a 13-13 deadlock but winning (technically) as a result of penetrations The team only suffered two losses this season, one to Coahoma and another by the “B” team to Harrold. The record of the games can readily speak for itself.

STARTING FIVE Hudson, Guard Captain King, Center Tweedle, Forward Captain Mitchell, Guard Smith, Forward DISTRICT WINNERS The Sterling Eagles were very successful in district basketball play the past season. Taking district honors, winning two tournaments, and taking consolation honors at a third tournament proved the fact that they were worthy of the honors bestowed upon them. Losing two conference games and one non-conference game, the Eagleswent to regional play at Abilene. Losing to Stanton at the district tournament, they were forced to play a two out of three game series in order to settle the dispute of who was to be given the district honors. The question was soon settled, however, after the Sterling team trimmed the Stanton five two quick games. The starting five, alllettermen from last year, was composed of Jack Tweedle, Bobby King, R. T. Smith, R. B. Mitchell, and Billy Hudson. Those lettering this season were the five above the Duard Grosshan, Blaine Mitchel, Leroy Butler, Elroy Butler, Bob Mitchell, Edwin Aiken’, Pascal Brown, Don Gann, Edmund Heacock, Billy Lee Smith, Bill Cole,’ and Buddy Cole.

This is the first year in this sport for these girls. The inexperienced team met all the outstanding clubs in this area. The season opened with Water Valley defeating Sterling by 3 points. Success was with girls in the Rankin tournament in which they placed second. Defeating the Rankin “B” team, the girls went into semi-finals and won over Mertzon. Rankin “A” team overwhelmed Sterling to move into first place. The Eaglets showed much improvement during the season. The team is looking forward to the return of all players next season excepting two graduates, Jacqueline Everitt and Carolyn Foster. The district will hear more from the Sterling club next year. Members of the team were: Jacqueline Everitt, Carolyn Foster, Trinabeth Reed, Margaret Ritter, Norma Huff, Joan King, Fern Garrett, Helen Lawson, June Baker, Reita Faye Reed, Betty Davis, Moleta Huff, Mellvinia Huff, Darlene Mc-Entire, Elizabeth Hildebrand, Dorothy Sue Lowe, Lynell Ward, and LaVerne King, Manager.
