Treasure The Junior class this year has taken its part in the activities of the school—athletic, literary, and dramatic—and has won for itself many honors. Foremost among its activities is its part on the athletic field. Edward Wills, captain of the 1936 and 1937 teams. Joe Henry Bagley and Floyd Bradshaw were valuable lettermen in football. Although none of the eight Juniors on the boys ' and girls’ basketball teams received letters, each was an important factor in making the season a success. In track, wrestling, baseball, and tennis, the Juniors were again outstanding. Evelyn Eason was assistant manager of the basketball team; Alec DeArmon. manager of the wrestling team; Fmmett Hines, manager of track; and Robert Harrell, assistant manager of the baseball team. Of the five cheerleaders to receive aw ards, one—Dorothy Johnson—was a Junior. In literary activities the Junior class was also active with many of its members on the news, business and circulation staffs of the Peanut Picker. Margaret Eaton was rewrite editor, and Mary Hobbs became news editor in April. Working on the Peanut were: Martha Virginia Elam, photographic editor; Bettie Lee Stutson. an assistant editor; and Gerald Rose, snapshot photographer. In the Virginia State Latin Tournament, the Cicero class w’as represented by Mar¬ garet Eaton. The dramatic and musical productions were well supported by the Junior class. Mae Leggett. Aubrey Brown.
